Sora: Kill me?! You’re not beating or let alone kill me while I’m like this. And you should the let this battle speak for itself. Kane: Go to hell! Kane rushed at me, and hurled a left hook at me. I proceed to grab his left wrist and throw him over my shoulder, Kane went down on the snow. I let go of his left wrist and pounced on his chest as he tried to get up from the ground. I stood up and looked down upon Kane, he was outright infuriated; he grabbed both of my ankles and tossed me up to the sky.
Sora: Sathona. A white mask with a Crimson Lion symbol on the right eye and a red slit across the mouth appeared right on my face. Kane took a massive leap to me, and threw a quick left hook at my body, I countered it by landing a front kick on his wrist, then he quickly followed up with a right hook, I use one arm to try to block his punch, his punch connected with my arm, but it sent me back by a lot.
I might, have to take Sathona off, or risk... no the risk is not necessary with final release. My mana is back seventy-one percent right now, thanks to Sathona, and I don’t feel the whiplash while in Corruption. During that quick exchange I made a mistake, I became complacent and arrogant with my abilities at this level.
I should’ve used my shadow hands, blocking with one arm is not that viable, but if I used my shadow hand, I would lose sight of Kane, since I don’t see faces while using Sathona. Not even the Crimson Lion Eyes, can bypass that rule, so if I lose sight of him, I have to rely on sensing, but this chamber, almost makes me oblivious to my surroundings, unless it’s a massive mana release.
Wait! We’re high up here, and no allies randomly tagging in, I can use Hell’s Nightmare. I can nerf the range, so no else can be affected by it. It will just be Kane, and I will be able to track him without seeing him.
Sora: Dark Magic: Hell’s Nightmare. Dark magic coated around my body, then dark lavender and black shot out of my body in haste. Then the entire surrounding area was engulfed by darkness. Multiple red beady eyes appeared on all sides. The hellish loud screeches began to occur.
Demonic hyena laughter can be heard all around the chamber. Kane, continues flying around in oblivion, dark aura hyenas came out of the shadows, and started attacking Kane. Two of them sank their teeth in Kane’s neck and one hyena biting his left hand, and two more chewing his ankles.
Kane starts to fight off the hyena, by trying to throw them off him, one by one. As Kane was fighting them off, dark aura vultures came from the shadows, and began going after him. Kane noticed the vultures, he coated himself with light magic, and quickly descended back to the snow.
The hyenas quickly faded away the closer he got back down, I abolish the spell and went on my pursuit. Kane is fighting Ryder, Valdis and Valencia, he took a massive jump to the cabin, Ryder and him switched positions. Ryder landed on the cabin, Valencia was right behind him. Kane: Incredible! This battle is pushing me to new heights! Valencia, ignited her fist black and white flames, and landed a back fist on Kane’s back, that sent him flying a couple of feet down on the ground.

Wait, when could she use fire magic?! Last night her student I.D says ice, wind and Earth. Why does she have fire magic? Did she just gain it? But her grimoire would’ve appeared by now, and I’ve been close by. When did she get it? When she accepted her power? Or was it before?
Black and white flames dissipated as it seared through Kane’s skin, and exposed his bare spine. Kane slowly got up and turns his sight onto Valencia, and trying to hold back his yell.
Kane: What the hell was that?! Keep attacking me from behind you little bitch! You were holding back, fire magic the entire time?! That isn’t no ordinary fire magic! Valencia began cracking her fingers, and let out a sigh. Valencia: Well, you’re right. Eternal Ice Magic: Victim Of The Snow. Snow started forming all over his skin, he tried melting the snow with fire magic, but it back lashed, the snow spread even faster, and Kane was frozen in place.
Valencia: Was this the battle you were looking for? Say something if I’m wrong?! Kane: Careful, I wouldn’t want you blow another chance to kill like yesterday, you better do something before you lose your damn mind, bitch. Awfully close, you afraid, you'll miss? Valencia: Awe, you would love that, wouldn’t you? And now, for your demise. What final words do you have for your eventual queen? Kane: Fuck you...bitch! Kane cast a glance at Vivi with tempestuous anger then tries to spit on her, but his spit was turned to solid ice that shattered when it landed on the snow.
Valencia stabbed Kane in the neck, and left there, blood began to drip out at a steady rate, next she brought Kane’s head down to her eye level, and slammed his down to the snow, Valencia looks over to the others, and she flicks her finger up, Justin is raised up two feet off from the ground, and floated all the to Valencia. Valencia conjured an ice spear and thrust, Kane in the knee cap, the snow is being painted with Kane’s blood.
Valencia: Take your revenge. He broke your back, now you break his. Justin: I can’t use my magic. Valencia, took her blade out of Kane’s neck, and stepped down hard on the back of his neck, blood spilled out in a hurry, and colored the snow surrounding his body, Valencia handed her blade to Justin.
Justin: How am I supposed to do it, when I can’t move on my own? Valencia: You can do it, just try to do it like normal, I got you. Justin landed down at the side of Kane’s back. Valencia touched the blade, crimson, black and white flames engulfed the blade.
Justin: Wait what?! Since, when can you use the Hestia’s fire magic?! Valencia: When I accepted my power, are you going to destroy his spine or what? Justin put two hands on the sword, and severed Kane’s spine in half, Kane tries to yell, but he’s choking on his own blood.
Justin: Today, I didn’t break the beast, I broke the man. Good luck getting up, bitch. Valencia: Good job. Justin and V, high-five each other, Valencia summoned two ice clones, Justin begins to fall but, the two ice clones caught him and took him back with the others, Justin tossed back the sword without even looking and V caught it, without even breaking her concentration on Kane.

Valencia: Abel! Are you going come get your brother or what?! A behemoth of a hand made of false dark magic, came up from the snow, and dragged Kane down, Valencia off Kane’s neck, and she conjured up an ice spear, and launched it dead center at Kane’s chest. Kane: Later stupid bitch. Valencia: Where’s Brianna?! Kane: Oh, she’s going to be with me, bitch.
Kane smiled at Valencia, shot her the middle finger, Valencia quickly clenched her hand, right before Kane is fully inside the snow, his hand left hand was last to go down, his entire left hand turned into ice then shattered before wrist spurted out blood and tarnish the snow with its color.
Valencia: I should’ve...fuck! I had to keep him alive! Valdis, and I went to her. Valdis: It’s okay, it was the right call to make. We didn’t know where Brianna was anyway. Sora: Where’s Isamu? Valdis: Ryder, made a heads-up play, when that explosion started, Ryder told me to use my spatial portal near the initial explosion and next to him, right? Valencia & Sora: Right. Valdis: Ryder and Isamu are just throwing hands, this man Ryder was blocking and dodging most of Isamu’s attacks, and that motherfucker Isamu is a dirty ass fighter, try to get Ryder with some cheap-ass tactics.
Ryder, threw a coin at the spatial in the sky spatial portal, he then kicked Isamu inside the spatial next to him, and Ryder went with him, Ryder caught the coin, Isamu was laughing, and Ryder ate a mean ass fucking round house, but that boy Ryder was dog, that nigga just tough that shit out, and threw the coin at the explosion and swapped places, right before that shit hit Ryder, he swapped with Isamu.
Valencia: It seems like you’re a Ryder fanboy. Valdis: Look I’m not a fanboy, but you do got to agree that motherfucker is cold as a motherfucker. Valencia: I know, I’ve been with the CLMC, for six months. I can tolerate the super fans, but I hate the closet ones with a passion, can they just admit it! They’re on his nuts the most. Just admit the shit, I’m sick of it.
Sora: But did you see anything else? Valdis: Nah, I didn’t sense shit because of this fuck ass chamber, and I didn’t see shit. Valencia: Fuck. Sora: We have to find Isamu and make him take us to her location. Ryder: I don’t think that’s going to happen.
Ryder and Peyton walked together over to us. Saber looked at me and started tensing up. So they must be alive then if she’s doing that. But where are they? That’s the million dollar question right now? Saber would’ve said something by now if she knew where they were. It’s safe to say, no one seen anything of those two savages.
Sora: Saber, expand your range! Jakari, Galawnee don’t let them get behind you two no matter what! Jakari: Someone’s bossy today!
Peyton: What’s next Ry? Ryder: Well, we can’t get the door open. And it’s not smart to leave them here anyway. This place would become dangerous. Peyton: But your mom can handle it. Ryder: But if they’re hiding like this? It’s hard to track a bleeping person up in here. Peyton: You doubt your mother’s abilities? Ryder: Just trying to find them would be problematic. Sora: Well, we could always nuke this entire chamber? Peyton: Nuke?
Ryder: True, we could. But a lot of work went into this place, it would be shame to destroy it. Peyton: Nuke?! Valencia: I could do it, if you want me to. Valdis: Nah, I’ll do it. I was so worried about damage control, so I couldn’t do anything flashy. Peyton: Guys, nuke?! Ryder: What? Peyton: What in the seven bloody wonders does nuke, mean in this context?!
Ryder: Oh, yeah. That is what the regulars call it, what we mean is, this entire place gone from existence, using spells that you could never use, outside special facilities or times in a crisis. Valdis: The big explosive spells, that you can never use because of those filthy regulars. Sora: Didn’t know you hate regulars, Valdis. Ryder: I honestly get it, why do our people have to be mistreated just because we’ve been blessed?!
Peyton: Oh, no, Ry don’t get started. Ryder: I’m just saying. Valdis, Sora, don’t relax. We’re still in a battle. Don’t start slacking off. The enemy will not be kind. Sora: Got it. Valdis: Crystal. Ryder: As I was saying, why do the regulars get to mistreat magic users like we’re some kind of wild animal?
Peyton: You haven’t been seeing Kamiyah, have you? Ryder: I haven’t spoken to her for some time, I have to get my mind right, she's out of my life, and not being around her, will do the trick? Valdis: Kamiyah? Kamiyah Florence?! The one with the Dark Mages org? Valencia: That’s the one. Ryder: Yep, too bad I can’t fuck with her no more. Why did she do that?! Peyton: Are you still heartbroken her not being on the team? Ryder: Hell yes! I just wish that she was here in Rowan Academy!
What’s this mana? It’s...so disgusting! It stinks, like really bad! Is this more false dark magic? This is revolting, like the odor is so much more abominable than before, it’s like the amalgamation of one hundred rotting corpses in the wild mixed with dead bodies that’s been there for six months inside a dead cat person house.

Binary Progression: Torrented Edition
This was ment to be the self-published 'real' book of Binary Progression; turns out there isn't much of a market for this kind of story... that and it sucked! As such I am writing another (more successful) series but this was just laying about my book folder so I'm posting it here, please forget the fact I said it sucked, pretty please. JohnWillStab is the poorly-named shut-in on a quest to get into MMOs after a failed online career backfired leaving him uninterested in his speciality, strategy games. He discovers an old, abandoned game with an active, albeit very eccentric, community of no more than five-hundred players on a single server maintained by an unknown individual. Unbeknownst to him, the game he found is more than just an ordinary WoW clone and after many adventures with his group, they make the terrifying discovery that after two full volumes this story becomes a god damn isekai. What’s worse, JohnWillStab, the number-one edgelord on the server is somehow ending up in positions of power despite literally being an undead rogue with evil magic tentacles! Will John’s edginess ruin the isekai? Why does the doctor have the highest kill-count in the game? Is 👑 really a valid character you could use for your username? Can the chef perform an exorcism? Why is God asking John for chicken nuggets? Really, he could just spawn them in - in fact, we saw him spawning food in before!

Sufficiently Advanced
A Novella about magic vs aliens vs science. It's a raucous, campy sci-fi read involving humans gaining magic, a possibly pizza-hating alien empire, the decapitation of the US Federal Government, eldritch abominations, lesbian space witches and some medium-hard science.I wouldn't say it's not serious, but I wouldn't say it's serious. Eh, it's not serious. Wait... it's getting serious.

Gangs From Another World
This story takes place in a world like our own where magic and high technology rule the day. This particular world is ruled by a feline race. The race is divided up into 12 clans (like Greek city-states), with their own territories, solar systems and planets. These 12 clans answer to the original Home World for external disputes, negations, emergencies or to direct military operations only. Within the time-frame of this story, a new Emperor has recently ascended the throne, approximately a year has past since the ascension. He was the previous ruler of the Clan Ya-kith-Thar or Clan founding #3, world of the artisan cats. Unfortunately, not all residents have benefited from technological wonders. The forgotten, who were not lucky enough to be Royal born or middle class and above, experience a hard life, like those of the colonial worlds. The poorer denizens see the technological marvels from their windows, and yet experience little of it. This is the story of one such group living in the ghetto of the Capital city, written by Horus Blackburn, leader of the North-Central Gang.

Sailor Moon Silver Legacy
A gritty and dramatic new series of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon!🌙 Following the defeat of Galaxia & Chaos, peace returns to Earth for a time, until one fateful day, when the unthinkable happens. Five years later, we start to learn how our heroines have been coping with their tragic loss, and what really happened that day. When a new evil threatens the planet, can the Sailor Soldiers find a way to put aside their feelings, and come together to face it? Or will Earth fall to darkness? New chapters: Thursdays (1-2K words per chapter) ☽ ☿ ♀ ♁ ♂ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇ ☉ Set after the events of Sailor Stars, Silver Legacy tells a dramatic and exciting twelve-act story full of action, emotion, mystery and character development. It's a brand-new, canon compliant story about the characters so many of us grew up with and still love (even if we're embarrassed to admit it)! While primarily a faithful sequel to the original 90s anime series, the story also incorporates elements from the original manga, the Crystal reboot anime, and the live-action adaptation, as well as feedback from Sailor Moon SubReddit members. This is all combined with fixes to odd translations, the best aspects of the English/Japanese versions, and fun new ideas, to create what I hope will be a consistent and satisfying fan experience.
