《Creating a world can't be that difficult, right?》Chapter 201

Xan couldn't help but jump after hearing those words. He turned around and saw the old man with a cold smile, which made a shiver run through Xan's back.
'Fuck, I'm dead.' he thought.
Finding himself in danger, Xan tried to push Rad, but he could not even move him a centimeter.
"I already told you that I'm stronger than you. You must read my diary a few times before you can do something against me." Rad said, laughing while taking a step toward Xan.
Xan instinctively took a step backward, trying to keep his distance from the man.
"You have nothing to fear. I'm not going to hurt you in any way." Rad said before he sat on a nearby chair.
"How can I know you are telling the truth?" Xan asked suspiciously.
"Because if I wanted to hurt you, I would have already done it. It wouldn't take me more than fifteen seconds to rip your four limbs."
"That's very few seconds for so many limbs. Ok, I will not do anything stupid." Xan said while kneeling.
Seeing that, a vein on Rad's forehead began to bulge.
"Don't surrender so easily!" he shouted before hitting Xan's head with his cane."You don't even know if what I said is true. Everything could be a farce. Next time you face an enemy whose you don't know his power, don't surrender as soon as they tell you they are powerful."
Xan's eyes became wide open after hearing Rad's words.
"So, are you telling me I should fight you back?" Xan asked, perplexed.
"I said the next time." he said before hitting Xan again." You already know I can kill you before you cross that door, so I wouldn't try anything funny if I were you."

"You are making too much sense for someone everyone says is senile. Everything was an act to cover that you are a cultist, right?"
"Correct."
"Well, that explains many things, but it doesn't explain why you told me about your diary in the first place." Xan while slightly closing his eyes.
"Well, you seemed like the right one," Rad said while smiling.
"The right one for what?"
"The right one to become one of us."
"What? How in the world have you ever thought about me becoming a cultist? Anyone would do it better than me. Heaven, I'm not even a cultivator. How can I be useful?"
"Because you have ties with no one and are still in a pretty good position. Everyone in this place had either mistreated you or done nothing against those who mistreated you, so it would be easy to convince you to join us against them. Also, as a young member of the second area, if you were to obtain a cultivation technique and advance rapidly through the stages, you would get access to some of the subordinate families or even the Yellow Blood Familly. That is the moment in which you become useful." Rad explained.
"It doesn't sound like a bad idea if it weren't because of those things about becoming corrupted, losing my soul, and the multiple moral dilemmas," Xan said as honestly as he could.
"You don't have to become corrupted or lose your soul as long as you are not stupid; in that case, you will surely do both." Rad explained while laughing." And about the moral dilemmas, I don't see any. Becoming a cultist is the same as becoming a powerful cultivator. The only difference is that most of the time, regular cultivators only hurt people indirectly, but we do it directly. You only have to look at how the poor devils of the outer area live. If those guys from the inner area used their power to help instead of using it to gather wealth, everyone would be able to live without fearing death."

"You are right in most of those things, but I don't think we can compare that with sacrificing their souls to a demon."
"It is not always about souls. In fact, most of the time is not about them."
"Really?"
"Well, it depends on your patron, but mine prefer other things," Rad said.
"Like what?" Xan asked curiously.
"Deaths," Rad replied seriously.
"That's the same as souls!" Xan complained.
"It is not the same. If you kill someone and offer their souls to a demon, those people would not return to the cultivation cycle, dying forever. If you only kill them, you are simply speeding up the life cycle as they will be reborn in a new body later." Rad explained.
"Well, if you look at it that way, it doesn't sound so bad," Xan said while nodding.
And like that, the two continued talking about cults, demons, and corruption for the next few hours.

the Mediator
Award-winning rock musician Kris Maya had just held a ground-breaking concert, with an arena packed with his most die-hard fans. His songs that contemplated the human condition: desires, love, pain, loss, fantasy and reality, and his philosophy towards life have garnered a great number of people to follow his every move and as he strummed the last chord that signaled the end of his song, he stumbled in pain and collapsed. With a smile, he closed his eyes on the curtains of his final concert in this life. As the applause of his show turned to become murmurs of worry and disbelief, he was happy and excited. Still, he felt that he was ready and he was anticipating his return to the world where all his past mistakes left a grueling and bloody mark on its history. This world that he filled with his music had taught him many lessons. In Earth, the power of music served as his gateway to learning. When he returns to his former world, his overwhelming power of magic will teach others the same lessons; the bloodshed being the only difference. It was now time to pay it forward.

Moonlight
Three powers were discovered and harnessed so that they could be controlled. These powers are required to keep the planet alive, and need human bearers to focus and amplify their individual powers, but at what cost to their bearers? Power over the elements, controlling the flow of time, and dictating life and death are the powers that three young adults wield in Moonlight, but their lives will be changed forever. Moonlight follows the stories of Claire, Jayden, and Seraphine, as they learn to control these powers that desire to consume them. Author Notes: Hello! This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!

Magikind [Original]
The third millennia, a time of change and evolution. An era, where people, through countless generations, have evolved strange powers and abilities. Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some refused to change or adapt. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin, will herald a new era for all Magikind. A story of how man could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. Disclaimer: Chapters will be edited once the first volume is done. Bear the beginning for the time being, and hopefully you can see my writing improving over time (I've learnt a lot on how to write because of this (though I'm still not perfect :P)) Proud Member of Writers to the End, WriTE The link to the pledged fictions PS. If you find the 'notes' too boring or too info-dumpy, feel free to skip them and just read the main chapters. They're there for the reader to understand Gin's world (written in the perspective of Gin). But later on, we can see some interactions between the main characters and the occasional references to his past in the notes, so it has its purpose.
