《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 90

When Tommy came to, he found himself in the Green Arrow's bunker.
"So much for it all being a dream." Tommy groaned as Oliver walked in.
"I see you're up." Oliver said as he walked up to him.
"So, Green Arrow huh?" Tommy asked Oliver.
"Tommy, I wanted to tell you." Oliver said.
"Honestly Oliver, the only thing I want to know now is were you ever going to tell me?" Tommy asked.
"No, I wasn't." Oliver said.
"Does Laurel know?" Tommy asked.
"Yes I do." Laurel said as she joined them, still in her Black Canary outfit.
"So you told your fiance but not your best friend." Tommy said.
"Secrets and lies are what nearly destroyed my relationship with Laurel before. I wasn't gonna make the same mistake twice." Oliver said.
"Anyways, how did you get wrapped up with the League of Assassins?" Laurel asked and Oliver also looked curious.
"It was shortly after I left Star City. After you exposed my father as a homicidal maniac, I thought it would be best to get out of town before people began associating me with him. I was actually put into federal protection and relocated to White Holland. Keeping a low profile." Tommy said.
"That explains why we never got an RSVP from you about the wedding." Laurel said and Tommy and Oliver both rolled their eyes at that.
"When did the League find you?" Oliver asked.
"About a month after I moved to White Holland, I came home only to get a dart in my neck and I passed out. When I came to, I was in Nanda Parbat at Ra's feet. I thought he was going to kill me for my dad's mistakes, but instead, he offered a place in the League. I thought it would an opportunity to rebuild myself, become a stronger man. Instead, Ra's turned me into my father. He brainwashed me and wanted me to make you so desperate that you'd have no choice but to join the League." Tommy said.

"He didn't count on us having someone who could break his control over you or that I might be able to beat you in combat." Oliver said.
"I was trained by him Oliver. Ra's personally trained me." Tommy said.
"And now he's going to learn that if he has a problem with me, he should take it up with me himself. Not use my best friend to get to me." Oliver grumbled.
"What about Helena?" Laurel asked, looking at Tommy's unconscious partner.
"I shouldn't have brought her into this. She was already on a warpath due to what her father did to her fiance, I just exploited that." Tommy said.
"Sounds like both of you were victims of Ra's plans. And he's going to pay for it." Oliver said.
"Oliver, you're planning on going to Nanda Parbat aren't you." Tommy asked.
"We all are. And I'm putting Ra's down." Oliver said.
"Oliver, if you do that, the League will see you as the new Ra's and you'll get a chance to live the life you want with Laurel." Tommy said.
"What do you suggest then?" Oliver asked.
"When Ra's was training he, he struck a lot of blows with swords." Tommy said and now Oliver understood.
"What's the big deal about that?" Laurel asked as Sara joined them.
"It's old League prophecy. One who survives the blade of Ra's al Ghul shall become Ra's al Ghul." Sara said and Tommy nodded.
"I'll challenge Ra's, he was probably planning on me doing that at some point anyways." Tommy said.
"Nyssa will be pissed that she won't be able to become Ra's." Sara said.
"Who's Nyssa?" Laurel asked.
"My ex. She's Ra's daughter and she was the one who actually helped me come to terms with my own sexuality and helped me learn to control the darkness inside me." Sara said.

"Actually, Nyssa and I were friends before her father brainwashed me. It sounded like she only stayed with the League because she was hoping to impress her father. Honestly, I think if she had a way out of the League, she'd take it." Tommy said and Sara looked thoughtful.
"Either way, if you're serious about this Tommy, you shouldn't go alone. You'll need back up in case the rest of the League tries to interfere." Oliver said and Tommy nodded.
"Ollie and I should go." Sara said.
"Sounds like a good idea. Laurel, you'll lead Thea and Roy while Sara and I accompany Tommy and Helena to Nanda Parbat." Oliver said.
"Wait, Helena?" Laurel asked.
"How'd you know?" Tommy asked.
"Because every time you've glanced at her, I've seen the same look in your eyes that I've seen every time Laurel is in danger." Oliver said and now Laurel and Sara caught on.
"Oh, so you and Helena." Laurel asked.
"Love works in weird ways Laurel, you know that better than anyone." Tommy said and Laurel smiled.
"One of the perks of being mayor is that I can help fake Helena's death so the gang war will end and the SCPD will no longer be hunting for her." Laurel said and Oliver nodded.
"Do it. Winn can help falsify any documents." Oliver said as he finally opened the cell to let Tommy out.
"Despite everything, it is good to see you both again." Tommy said as he pulled both of his oldest friends into a hug.
"You know this means your invite to our wedding is revoked right?" Laurel asked.
"I figured as much. I'll send a gift." Tommy said and Oliver chuckled.
"Thank you and Tommy, I hope you know what you're doing." Oliver said.
"We should probably get going." Sara said.
"Be careful Ollie." Laurel said, since she knew that her boyfriend and sister had to go, but that didn't mean she was happy about it.
"Why start now?" Oliver asked as he kissed her.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure he stays alive long enough to walk down the aisle." Sara promised.
"Good. But do that for yourself to, since don't forget, you're my maid of honor." Laurel said.
"Got it." Sara said as she lugged Helena over her shoulder and they headed out.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.

Lesser Evil
In a perfect world, an alcoholic, hedonistic, mentally abusive individual like Audry Forge would never coincide with his attempts to stop the extinction of life. But there is no perfect world. There is no other person. Only the lesser of evils. Participant of the Royal Road Writathon challenge - 55k words Author's Note: This is story has been the easiest to write in my time of writing. I thoroughly enjoy it! You may not understand the premise in the first few chapters but need not worry buddy, I've been working ahead. Things will start rolling! I hope you enjoy it. Give me feedback and make sure to share it around! Other Info: Normally I wouldn't put any warnings but this story will be going down a pretty dark path (based on irl experiences) fairly early on. There will not be any overtly sexual content this early but some themes are suggestive. There is profanity. There are references to drugs and alcohol. There are dramatic relationships that I'm trying to base off of real life. There is more of a focus on characters. There will be unpleasant scenes in regards to death, while others will be brushed over. There will also be a fair amount of pop culture references too! Give it a try. You might like my form of storytelling!
