《Devil in My Heart》Unity

After that, my magic power was exhausted, and I descended slowly from the sky. . One of the dragons was hit by the rock. When he saw me running, Leander gave me a lift. We ran towards Tyrone. Tyrone will soon be in his perfect form.
During the regeneration process, he still attacked through its tail and we bounced away. I feel like flying into the sky and then when I was about to fall due to gravity, Lucien who was in the form of an eagle flew to save me. Now I'm on the eagle. And again, black flames were spouted out by the dragon-headed serpent. Just then, a phoenix with its distinctive voice came and spouted its red flames. Meanwhile, the eagle spouted its hot dust. Their combination attacked to stop the black flames. This heat was felt in my body but soon I was protected by the fox magic shield that surrounded me and Lucien too.
"Thank you, everyone," I shouted.
For a while, the situation became silent. The battle stopped. Tyrone realized that his core was pierced by an arrow and became transfixed. The magic core was like a gemstone which then cracked and shattered.
As the last arrow pierced through, the bow disappeared from Ryana's hand. They all return to their original form as well as Tyrone. He also fell into human form. For a while, it feels like we want to take a break. But Tyrone came to them. They were all surprised that he was still able to stand. Leander and the Giant attempted to deliver the attack. But all can be parried easily and counterattacked with punches and kicks from Tyrone. His sharp eyes looked like he wanted to kill. He walked closer to Ryana.
Then, Claes who had regained consciousness after being healed by Ryana stood up and swung his sword at Tyrone. Tyrone also quickly pulled out his sword and parried Claes' attack. They fight each other. Tyrone is attacked by Claes and takes a wound, but immediately gets up and counterattacks so Claes is knocked down. Now it's Lucien's turn to face Tyrone.
"That's enough, Tyrone. Return to the right path." Lucien said.
Tyrone flinched when he saw Lucien was looking at him intently, but then Tyrone smiled.
"Let's end this." Said Tyrone who attacked Lucien first. Their power is equal. Tyrone knows that he can't be with Lucien. It makes him sad and thinks of this is the way to end all this.
"Hiyaaa!!! Come to your senses, Tyrone."
Tyrone ignored Lucien's words and continued to launch his attacks.
"This is our last fight," Tyrone said.

Lucien gets a few punches from Tyrone, but Tyrone gets slashed. Until finally Tyrone is stabbed by Lucien, and blood is flowing.
"Argh." Tyrone endured the pain while showing his face with a warm smile mixed with sadness as he looked at Lucien. At that time, Lucien was shocked, however, he was his close friend. Lucien pulled out his sword. Tyrone while holding the pierced part, then told his story.
"Before I leave this world, I want to tell you my story and my feelings. In my previous life, I was born as a snake, at that time..."
The past life of Tyrone...
"Hey... Stop it." shouted the boy as he chased away the people who hurt the snake.
The boy helped the snake without fear. He saved it by lifting the rock that was holding it back and then letting it go.
"Now you are free. May you always be safe," said the boy.
But not long after, because of the wound that it got, the snake died without the boy knowing. Then he was born as a handsome serpent demon named Tyrone. He stayed in the cave to isolate himself until he became a magic snake demon. It didn't take long for him to become the ruler there.
Lucien was shocked to hear that.
After briefly telling his story, then Tyrone fell to his knees and continued talking.
"In this life, I have loved you since I saved you when you fell from the sky before I knew who you were.
Hearing that, Lucien was taken aback and dropped his sword while kneeling face to face with him and touched Tyrone's shoulder.
"Tyrone. May you always be safe." Lucien smiled while holding back his sadness.
"Goodbye, Lucien..." The last smile is seen before he disappeared into beads of light. Lucien froze and didn't have time to hug him.
With a sad expression on his face, Lucien watched Tyrone leave. All this time, he regarded Tyrone his close friend even though their views were different. He also reminisced about his meeting with Tyrone.
"At that time, Tyrone was able to dodge attacks from me, but he deliberately accepts my attack. Even when fighting with me, he wasn't serious about injuring me deeply. He could also easily attack me back, even though he had been completely attacked by us. But he chose to die at my hands." Lucien was filled with sorrow. Imperceptibly, he shed tears.
Ryana understood his feeling, then approached and embraced him without saying a word to give himself space.
After the fierce battle was over, Ryana said to them, "Thank you, everyone." With a warm smile to all of them.

"Hopefully this will be an example for the next generations that gods, asuras, and humans can unite to create peace and live in harmony," said Claes.
"Yes. May the world be brighter," Kiran said.
"Thank you, Ryana. You have awakened me. Otherwise, I might still be in the dark. Because of you, I also get to know these great creatures in front of me now. I'm happy to be friends with all of you," Giant said.
"Thank you for protecting me too and working together for peace. Where are you going after this?" I asked.
"I will return to the forest where I am and while protecting this kingdom." Replied him.
"How about you, Leander?"
"I will wander and meditate to improve my life. I'm sorry I attacked your kingdom in the past." Leander replied.
"Yes. I've forgiven. Hope your life gets better." I replied with a warm smile.
Leander was surprised and touched, then he said, "I wish the same to you." Then Leander turned to Lucien who was beside him while holding out his hand, "imperceptibly, this is our farewell."
Lucien nodded and held his hand. "Yes. Goodbye. Take care of yourself well."
"You are too. Live well." Replied Leander.
Leander and the Giant returned to their respective places. It's the same with Kiran who returned to the realm of the gods. Leander headed to where Leona was lying, then he buried her.
"Let's hurry back to the kingdom." Invite Claes.
"Yes."
Upon arrival at the kingdom, the asuras learned that they had won against Tyrone, the people rejoiced and the asuras slowly back away.
"Prince...." Taddeus shouted.
"What about this kingdom?" asked Claes.
"We managed to defend this kingdom until the prince came. How is the prince's condition?" said Taddeus.
"I am fine. Thanks, Taddeus." Claes said with a warm smile.
"Thank goodness." Said Taddeus with relief.
---------------------------
"Sis. Can I be like you?" asked a child.
"You don't have to be someone else. However, be yourself. Everyone has their uniqueness and strengths. But we can learn from people that we admire," replied Ryana.
The children listened enthusiastically.
"In that case, what is the key to your success?" asked another child.
"You guys listen carefully."
"Yes. We are ready." Answer the children.
The wish that you want to achieve. If it is good and useful, make it a goal. Strive through good actions and do not harm other beings."
"Wow..." the children were amazed when they heard it.
A strong determination that is not easily shaken is reflected like an arrow that sticks to the target and does not fall. wisdom in taking the right steps, and evaluating or reflecting on what has been done. If we are wise in investigating, then we will not fall into the same hole."
These four things are likened to archery. First, we know our target, secondly, we give effort like we were pulling a bow, thirdly, our hands are steady and do not sway, and fourthly we have eyes to see the target and to check that arrows and bows in a straight and not bent state.
"That's a very good analogy," said the kids.
"Yes, it is inspiring and encouraging for us," said another.
"In this journey of life, we cannot be separated from obstacles. Life flows like water. Maybe we're going to a dead end. When faced with a difficult situation, people whose hearts are shaky will give up, we feel inferior, do not believe in ourselves and even leave goodness. But whatever conditions make you difficult, stay on the path of goodness. This is my message. Everything takes time, just like trees need time to grow and harvest. And each of us is not the same, some take a long time, and some take a short time. It's depending on the effort, the seeds, and the environment that all conditions shape us.
However, there is no need to be jealous of the short time of people's achievements, because we may be planting seeds with large and abundant fruit. Even if we fail, we form a strong mentality in facing this life. There will be lessons to be learned. We can also learn from the experiences of others but stay focused on what we haven't and have done by ourselves, rather than commenting on things that have not been and have been done by others. If we have succeeded, stay humble and help many people because we know how it feels live in poverty, we know what is suffering, so we become more sensitive and care about others and understand each other. In the end, we are at a high level, where we can be compassionate by helping them to be free from their suffering.
The children nodded in agreement and as a closing, Ryana said, "One day the goldfish will become a shining dragon," Ryana remembered her time with Volans.
"Woah..." The children are inspired.
"Yes. It was advice from me. I wish you all success."
"Thank you, sister."
Ryana smiled warmly at them.

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
