《The Solitary Sword Sovereign》Why Do You Want to Kill Your Family?
Advertisement
"So, to sum it up, what you are saying is that the book I just gave you is incredibly valuable?"
"Indeed."
"So valuable that Lords from upper worlds would even fight for it?"
"Basically, yes."
"So valuable that if other middle planets knew it was here they would also apply for a chance to invade Earth, and would even fight other middle planets for it?"
"Exactly." Letty nodded vigorously, hoping that the past hour she had spent explaining the value of skill books and the intricate relationships between upper, middle and lower worlds had not gone to waste.
Will was far smarter than she took him for, for what she did not realize was that he just thought on a scale different from her. His goal was to become an immortal, not play around with mortal worlds; they were already beneath his eyes.
Will's time in King Yama's gate had already warped his perception of life. What was important in Letty's eyes might mean nothing in front of him. This information about skill books and what was not that impressive to Will, but, there was something bothering him.
"Okay Letty, since we are having a talk session here how about you answer a question of mine."
"Sure, please Master go ahead and ask." Letty was confident she could answer any and all questions he could ask.
"Tell me why you want to kill your family." The abrupt deviation from their topic of discussion caught Letty off guard, but she had been ready to answer him.
"Keep in mind Letty, I have many skills and can see through you as easily as I can see through glass. I know you are from another world and that you are high-class royalty. I also know that this is not your true appearance. So don't lie to me, if you do lie to me then it will forever affect how I see you. I will give you one chance and one chance only." Will looked Letty dead in the eye, he did not release any aura or intent, he was not trying to intimidate her. He wanted her to open up to him of her own volition. Will was an open book, and he didn't want to work with someone he didn't know.

Letty's heart rate sped up, her blood pressure shot up and her breathing got erratic. She was surprised by how much Will had seen through her. He had not done anything besides look her in the eye, but that was more than enough to get to her.
'He is indeed a high Sovereign; even at level twenty, his abilities are frightening. He wasn't ignorant because he is a fool; he truly has the ability to back up his arrogance.'
"I- Master! A D-rank beast is on its way here!" Letty had sensed a powerful presence headed their way, so she stood up and warned Will. Will sighed in annoyance at what had occurred. He could sense the beast coming. It was incredibly fast and had traveled hundreds of meters in mere seconds. It would be on them in 20 seconds flat according to his calculations.
Will was however impressed by her scouting skills; he had only noticed the beast once he had been told by Letty. His sixty-four minds are always constantly on alert, never resting. Yet she, who had been distracted, could sense it before him.
'She does have incredible potential as a scout.'
The beast was tracking them via scent and had not locked onto them, because if it had, Will would have been able to sense its malicious intent from 5 miles away.
With a sigh Will stood up, he reluctantly started walking out of the alley into the road. "Master, from what I can tell this is most likely a scout. Its main purpose is to gauge your strength," said Letty as she hurriedly walked after Will. The moment they left the alley and entered the abandoned street, the beast came into view.
[Vector Leopard: An extremely fast and cunning creature with an extraordinary sense of smell. It is more than happy to slay the weak but will not hesitate to run at the site of danger.

The creature was a leopard that was covered in red lines instead of spots, its silhouette flashed as it neared the group. Letty knew there was not the time for words so she got ready to support Will as best as she could. She had seen through Will's basic Water Meister skills but she was unsure if it was enough to handle such a creature. This situation was far different from their previous one, for before they were in a nest of snakes, now there were in a dragon's den.
The leopard halted the moment it came within 20 meters of the duo. Letty knew very well that this creature had quite the cowardice, and would only stop if it sensed danger. By itself, it could easily wipe out the horde they had faced ten times over, but it felt intimidated by Will.
Letty knew from experience that the intuition of a Vector Leopard was never wrong. Will was dangerous.
The leopard itself was even more confused than Letty. On the outside, Will seemed like a weakling. Letty had a much higher level than Will, but the feeling of danger Will gave off was much, much higher. Thus the leopard was facing a dilemma, should it attack or retreat?
Will could not be bothered to wait for it to attack, so he launched a water blade at the leopard. The attack was easily dodged by the leopard which had sidestepped. Will's water blade was incredibly fast from Letty's point of view, so fast she could barely even notice it.
'No wonder he was able to massacre the wolves do easily. His proficiency over his skills is incredible. How much time must he have spent practicing them?'
The leopard was unfortunately not like the wolves. It was somewhat shocked by the speed of the water blade, but it might as well have been moving in slow motion as far as the creature was concerned.
Will smirked and started raining down a barrage of water blades. The leopard's silhouette started flashing continuously, as it was dodging all of them with ease.
"Master! This creature is incredibly fast, so much so that even some c rank creatures cannot catch up to its speed. It is not hard to defeat it but killing it or escaping from it is impossible for us." said Letty with a grave expression.
'She is right, it is fast, but there are many things you should never compete with me in, speed is one of them!'

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

The Goddess’ Chosen
Destiny is a strange force indeed. One simple act can create a ripple, one simple change can cause a cataclysm. One act outside of the individual would be enough to alter one's life no matter how insignificant that life may be. This is the adventures of Allisa Reed, a young girl from our world who found the legendary sword Excalibur and taken to the magical world of Avalon. On the other side of the portal with her friends by her side, Allisa is forced into a conflict she is not prepared for, ordained as the Goddess Chosen to bring about one of two possible outcomes; Salvation or destruction. ------------------------------------ Author's notes: This is more or less the first draft of this story. Currently working on a second draft. Spelling and grammar is definitely my biggest weakness, particularly in my earlier stuff. I've done some editing and hopefully have ironed out most of these mistakes in my older chapters though I'm fairly certain there are some mistakes still left. This story is ongoing. Updates are slow as I publish when a chapter is ready. Expect long chapters for most of it. Just sort of my style. Only available on Royal road.com
