《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 29
Advertisement
Tonight was the opening night of Verdant and while Thea had to be there as the new assistant manager, Oliver had it made it very clear to all of his bartenders that anyone who gave his sister even a bit of alcohol would be looking for a new job, since he did not permit selling alcohol to minors.
Anyways, the party was in full effect as music blared and the club was filled to capacity.
"So, how well you are doing at resisting the call of alcohol?" Oliver asked his sister.
"As long as I don't get too close to the bar, I think I'll be fine. Baby steps after all." Thea said and Oliver smiled.
"Baby steps. Now, I know you're here for work, but that doesn't mean you can't have a little fun. Go dance. I know they're playing one of your favorite songs." Oliver said and Thea smiled.
"Thanks Ollie." Thea said.
"You're on parole Thea. If mom gives you any trouble, tell her I told you could have a little fun, as long as you steer clear of the booze." Oliver said and Thea smiled as she hugged her brother before going to dance.
"You sure letting Thea out on the dance floor is a good idea?" Laurel asked Oliver.
"She knows the consequences if she screws up. Besides, once she's 18, I'm planning on promoting her to full manager of this place so that we have more time for our nightly activities." Oliver said and Laurel nodded.
"Well, let's not let her be the only one on the dance floor." Laurel said as she basically had to drag Oliver out onto the dancefloor.
As Thea danced in the crowd, she felt someone bump into her and she was about to turn to snap at them when she lost her voice at the face who did it.

"Sorry about that ma'am." Roy Harper said to her.
"It's fine. You look familiar." Thea said.
"Your brother hired me as one of the servers for the bar." Roy said.
"Oh right. What's your name again?" Thea asked.
"Roy. Roy Harper." Roy said.
"Well, Roy Harper, it sounds like they're putting a slow song on, so have a dance with me and I'll consider everything forgiven, as long as you don't pick my pockets." Thea said.
"I'm pretty sure pickpocketing my boss is grounds for termination, so don't worry, I won't, but if you're serious, I'll take you up on that dance." Roy said as the music did indeed turn into a slow song and he held out his hand to Thea, who took it and they began to dance together, neither of them knowing that they were always meant to meet. But someone else did.
"Ollie, look at what Thea's doing." Laurel said, pointing out Thea and Roy dancing.
Oliver was about to go break it up until he saw who Thea was dancing with and then smiled.
"In every reality, those two truly are meant to be together." Oliver said under his breath.
"What?" Laurel asked.
"I think I'll let this one slide. If he hurts her, I'll put an arrow in him." Oliver said and Laurel chuckled.
"So you're done meddling with Thea's life?" Laurel asked as they started dancing themselves.
"I think that now that she's on a better path then she was when I first came home, she'll be fine now. Besides, I think she has a similar type as you." Oliver said.
"And what might that be?" Laurel asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The bad boys." Oliver said and Laurel smiled.
"Well then, I guess it's true that the bad boys like the good girls." Laurel said as Oliver twirled her.
"I guess so." Oliver agreed as he pulled her in close and kissed her.

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.
8 144Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
