Carter was deep into the thick crowds of the club, her crystal orbs scanning the packed place. She had her phone in hand, a GPS tracking app open, with a rhythmic blip absorbing her attention. She wasn't getting anywhere closer to her target, but neither was she getting further away. So she stood still, not wanting to loose the trace. She flicked her head to view the other side of the room and sighed when nothing came up trumps. She had become bored, a slight problem with the young woman as she slumped in her spot. Huffing to herself, she decided to take one more sweep around the club to try detect another sort of trace, and to give herself something to do. Half way around, to her delight, the blips rapidly become more consistent. She followed her new found lead to the back end of the club. Some people cleared from her path as she came face to face with the men's toilets.
Seriously?
Suddenly the device in her hand silenced which was surprising to her. She also took it as a massive piss-take, she hadn't a clue how to find the exact target.
For fucks sake, there could be loads of guys in that restroom, it could be anyone but I would have no way of knowing which. I guess I'll just have to look like a massive weirdo perv in the guy's toilets.
She took a deep inhale, and pushed open the door to the restroom. The scene that greeted her was surprising, to say the least.
Maybe it won't be that hard.
Only three men habited the restroom.
One, young but quite stocky, scruffy moustache, collapsed on the floor, clutching his throat.
Another, faced away from her, on his knees, grabbing at the sink pipe wrapped around his throat, more than likely couldn't breathe.

And the final, also faced away, just so happened to be the one holding the sink pipe against the another's neck.
She barely thought as her instincts kicked in, as well as her adrenaline. She pounced forward, swinging her leg high as it collided with the man's head, knocking him back and freeing the other from being choked. The attacker quickly sprung back to his feet, only to be met with Carter's fist as she delivered quick blows to his stomach. After a few landed punches, the attacker caught her fist, and twisted it behind her back, spinning her around then kicking her away from him.
The bearded bloke from the floor had seemingly recovered and executed a sharp kick of his own upon the attacker's chest. He stumbled back into the grasp of the other man, a slightly shorter, older man but still quite possessing a well toned frame. He spun him around and began to swing at him.
They fought back and forth for a while before the older man gained the advantage and tackled him through the corner of the dividing wall. The fight continued for a short while, both the attacker and the younger and elder man, who appeared to be working together, producing equally matched fighting techniques.
It was evenly matched and neither side was really gaining any advantage until Carter decided to re-intervene with a charged kick to the attacker's chest followed by a forceful tackle, resulting in the man sprawling across the restroom tiles. Just as he was about to get up to continue to beat the shit out of them all, a gunshot rang out.
Oh shit.

Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Photo by Mae Mu on Unsplash -------------------------- This is my first story on Royal Road and my first attempt in general at writing Xianxia.

Until then I welcome comments and constructive criticism. Thanks for reading.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.

He hopes his knowledge of the game will help him stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, as one would imagine, the normal events of a game would change drastically when the main character is nowhere to be found. Read as the unlikely hero gets into trouble with his new companions, while trying to survive life in this parallel world.
