《The Transcenders》Chapter 32 - Hellish City (9)

Aaron’s hand was still bleeding, so he couldn’t do much to help.
Ejiro put him down on the other side of the window in a small office where the minister’s dead body was.
Ejiro Sani and Gabriella Rivampe still flew outside.
There was a big bloody gap in the side of Ejiro’s head.
Gabriella looked at him, terrified. “Y-you, how can you wake up so fast?...”
“I was turned into a vampire by your mother. I also grew my power a lot during my stay in this city.”
Gabriella, a pure vampire, was faster on foot than Ejiro, a high vampire. However, she lacked experience due to her young age.
Her flight wasn’t perfect, and she couldn’t fight while flying.
Licking his lips, Ejiro leaped into the air towards his prey. His sharp black claws reached for the target’s neck, but-
Gabriella made eye contact. She stood still, her gaze frozen in time.
Ejiro looked at her.
Cold tears fell down her cheeks from her watery eyes. Her lips quivered as she tried to speak, yet nothing came out.
The Vampire Hunter’s smile lowered. He stopped his claws before they reached the young Vampiric Queen’s neck.
…
“You aren’t allowed to enter this tower without a permit. And clearly, you don’t have one!”
“B-but…”
Isaac was at the foot of the White Tower. A security guard had stopped him when he tried to enter via one of the sliding doors. He had already gone up the steps that separated the White Tower and the street.
They stood next to the entrance on a vast, empty platform, setting up a stage for the growing public.
“Um…” Isaac looked at the crowd gossiping beneath him.
Suddenly, taking all the attention away from him, someone shouted, “Look! People are falling from the sky!”

As Isaac raised his head, he realized that person meant it literally. ‘There they are!’
Holding both Aaron Amon and Gabriella Rivampe, Ejiro landed swiftly on the street. The people looked at them in disbelief.
“What a cool costume. The wings look so real!”
“And these fangs too.”
“Are these guys mages?”
“Didn’t you see them fly? Of course they are!”
“Wait, that doesn’t look like a costume. Isn’t he… a vampire?” The crowd of all ages looked at each other, yet none dared to follow up on that assumption.
The guard next to Isaac retreated inside the White Tower. Breaking the silence, he shouted,
“VAMPIRES! RUN!”
After a short moment, most of the public had gone or hidden away.
“Hey, Aaron! Ejiro!” Isaac ran to their side.
Ejiro and Aaron were still injured. He noticed Gabriella, who was wearing the anti-magic shackles.
“Who’s that?”
“She’s Gabriella Rivampe.” Ejiro looked into Isaac’s eyes.
‘The pure vampire? I thought he wanted to kill her.’
Ejiro changed back to his human form. “I feel like I’m going to die.”
“Hold on. I think I can heal you.”
Isaac put his hands above Ejiro’s head and emitted red magic. He could heal himself with it, so healing someone else didn’t seem impossible.
After a few seconds, the gap in Ejiro’s skull disappeared, leaving a bald spot. “What?! Since when have you been able to heal people?”
“I learned to heal myself with my new magic today. I figured it’d work on others as well. It’s consuming a lot of mana points, though.” Isaac held Aaron’s broken hand until it became anew.
“Thanks, Isaac.” Aaron was tired due to mana exhaustion. Using magic while wearing anti-magic shackles had taken a toll on him. However, the one with the binds was Gabriella now.

“Let’s go back to my apartment.”
…
*Ding!* The elevator’s door opened.
The four of them arrived up the apartment without speaking a word.
On the right was Aaron, stressed and confused because of the silence.
To his right, Ejiro walked, trying to avoid Isaac’s gaze.
Isaac was angry but kept his mouth shut.
Behind them, Isaac noticed Gabriella’s expression. Gabriella looked at the floor. Shackles restrained her arm movements. Her eyes were reddish, and her face pale. Her visage voiced a hint of remorse and shame.
After settling down, Ejiro called someone on his flip phone. He gave them a full report of what had transpired.
“Yeah, that’s what happened… I told you, the father wasn’t there... Okay, bye.”
Getting off the phone, he turned his head toward the three kids in the living room.
“Hey guys. I just called my master. We’re heading out to Titan City in the West DA tomorrow.”
Aaron, Isaac and Gabriella didn’t say a word. Only Aaron gave him minimal attention by looking in his direction. Isaac lay on the couch, and between them was Gabriella, absent-minded.
“What? Have you guys never been there before?” Ejiro broke the silence.
“I have.” Drinking a glass of water, Aaron avoided eye contact.
Isaac frowned. He then looked at the ceiling. “Ejiro, we need to talk.”

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.
8 197The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
8 83The Czarina's Buccaneer
RELEASES EVERY MONDAY AT 18:30 CST ----- After suffering the torments of slavery, the destruction of his nation, and the massacre of his band of brothers, Rodion Kazansky craves revenge and yearns for the freedom owed to him as a proud Cossack. A lost horse and a chance meeting with the Catherine the Great set him off on a journey that will take him from the steppes of the Crimea to the beaches of the Gold Coast of Africa and back again. There he will face British slavers, pirates, and the ghosts of his past to become the bane of his enemies as the Czarina's Buccaneer. ----- DISCLAIMER: This novel acknowledges the fact that the Cossacks, and the Ukrainian people by extension, are unique and not simply a "different variety of Russians." The main character views the Russians as "moskal foreigners" and does not see himself as one. This also acknowledges the fact that the czarina deprived many of the Cossacks of their freedom, something that the main character resents.
