:::jahad:::
It felt strange to be on the floor of tests again. How long has it been? 100 years or so? It felt so new, so different. I walk past tens of rooms until I reach Ara's.
I swing the door open and greet her. "Hello Ara."
I look around the room to see that she wasn't actually there.
Well, this is awkward.
I silently close the doors and lean on the wall.
Where could she have gone? The training room perhaps?
I start walking to the training room to find Ara there. With the real Urek.
Ah crap. I'll have to find another way then.
I stare at the duo for a while, thinking. Then it dawned on me.
I could just use one Arlene's spell!
To be honest, Arlene was never someone I wanted to mention again. But her sometimes her spells were handy, and she had lots of spells. I take a few steps back and raise my hand.
Please let this work. Otherwise, I'll just look like some idiot..
I murmur a few words. Wind started to form around me, making me rise.
Please work!
:::ara:::
It was odd. Everything about this situation was odd. I couldn't understand what those orders meant. Not only that, but the training room had suddenly felt weird. I could feel some sort of power in this room. Power like Jahad.
It can't be Jahad. Why would the king be here?
"Hey, Earth to Ara?"
I snap back into reality.
"Oh..Sorry. I guess I just, zoned out."
"It's fine. Are you okay? You're a little pale."
No..I'm not okay. I felt very pressed. It was like some power was pressing down on me without even trying. Could it be..Urek?

A lucky twist of fate (one of the few in Ning’s life) meant that Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater…and yet also smaller…than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again!

Obstinate Han
A power progression fantasy with a main character who trains constantly but who lacks purpose, direction, and motivation. The world he lives in, however, is not a peaceful one. As obstinate as Han can be, with all of humanity edging slowly towards annihilation, will he truly be able to avoid becoming entangled in the affairs of the deities fighting over his new universe? This story is a slow burn rather than a fast paced action/adventure, and is centered around the perspective of a main character who struggles with depression, apathy, anhedonia, and asociality. This world was doomed well before he arrived, and he knows it. Rather than following the traditional hero model, he just wants to train for its own sake, and to scrape out occasional moments of happiness in a ruined and dying world.
