《Destiny Rewritten》Chapter 171

"What are you doing?" Nora asked as she watched Constantine dip the death totem into water.
"This is holy water." Constantine said.
"You really think that dipping a totem in holy water is going to be enough to remove Mallus's connection." Nora asked incredulously.
"Well, do you have a better idea?" Constantine asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Nora said.
"I'm listening." Constantine said.
"What if we're looking at it the wrong way. Maybe it's a battle of willpower." Nora said.
"What do you mean?" Constantine asked.
"Maybe the only way to free the totem of Mallus's corruption is to actually overcome him." Nora said.
"You want to put the death totem on and try to beat the demon in his own realm?" Constantine asked.
"I've been in that realm before, several times. I'm the only one who stands a chance at pulling this off." Nora said.
"And how do I know that Mallus isn't possessing you?" John asked.
"Because if he was I would've put the totem on and killed you without hesitation." Nora pointed out.
"That's fair." Constantine admitted.
"Look, I know it's risky, but it's our best chance. Besides, we'll do this in the brig and you are going to place every protective spell you can think of to keep me from escaping in case I do go all demon." Nora said.
"Fine, let's do it." Constantine said, though it was clear he was not a fan of this plan.
"I would advise you to inform the rest of the crew what you're intending." Gideon advised.
"Where is everyone?" Nora asked.
"Captain Hunter is on the bridge, Ms. Jiwe and Ms. Jiwe are in the training room, currently attempting to teach Dr. Heywood and Dr. Palmer how to use their totems while Ms. Tomaz is there watching the show, Mr. Raymond is performing routine maintenance in the engine room and Mr. and Mrs. Queen are in the galley with their daughter." Gideon said.

"She's right, considering what we're doing, we should at least warn them and have the other totems on standby in case something goes wrong." Constantine said and Nora nodded her agreement.
Nora was now standing in the sealed off brig of the ship, which was covered by protective enchantments by Constantine and he, Mari, Kuasa, Zari, Ray and Nate were standing outside the cage, all of them ready to act if something went wrong.
"Last chance to back out." Constantine said to Nora.
"I have to do this. To make amends for what I did." Nora said as she placed the death totem around her neck
For a moment nothing happened, and then Nora's skin and hair suddenly turned pure white as her eyes went completely black.
"You were a fool to do this. Even if I can't get the girl, this will be a more than accurate host." a voice that clearly was not Nora's said.
"Mallus." Constantine said as he and the others got ready.
"You were a fool to let her do this John. She will be mine and I will have my host." Mallus said.
"No, you won't. She's strong, she'll survive." Constantine said.
"She'll never escape me." Mallus said.
"Fight him Nora. You're stronger than he is." Constantine shouted.
When Nora opened her eyes, she found herself in Mallus's realm.
"You were a fool to come back here Nora. You'll never leave now." Mallus's voice said.
"I never should've aligned myself with you. I'm trying to atone for that." Nora said.
"There are so many other things for you to atone for. You really think that you can atone for all you did." Mallus asked as Nora turned to see one of her countless victims cowering under her past self.

"I know, I have a lot to make amends for." Nora said.
"You know, if the queen daughter hadn't had been born, you would've been my choice of vessel." Mallus said.
"What was so special about her that you abandoned your plans for me?" Nora asked.
"Unlike you, her parents had no real magic experience, she'd have no idea how to defend herself against me and I could begin possessing her as soon as she's old enough to commit her first sin. Once that happens, her soul is no longer pure enough to protect her from my power." Mallus said.
"You'll never get the chance." Nora insisted.
"You really think that you can beat my power. The darkness inside you is one of the reasons I originally chose you." Mallus said.
"No, those actions are my past. They don't define me, not anymore. They are not my future and neither are you. We will defeat you and now we will finally have the power to kill you." Nora said as she forced Mallus out of her body.
Nora or Mallus screamed as suddenly her appearance went back to normal.
"Nora." Constantine said as Nora's eyes opened their normal color.
"I'm back." Nora said.
"Did it work?" Mari asked.
"Yeah, it did." Nora said as she looked down at the totem around her neck.
"So the demon is no longer controlling the totem's power?" Constantine asked.
"No, it's power is all mine now." Nora said.
"Your's?" Kuasa asked.
"When I put the totem on, I felt it claim me, that's how I was able to force Mallus to relinquish it. The totem sided with me over him." Nora said.
"It is possible. I guess we'll have to trust you with the totem. For now anyways." Mari said as Constantine let Nora out of the brig.
"So, we've got control over all 6 totems, what's our plan now?" Zari asked.
"We kill Mallus." Nora said.

Bitter
The story of a girl who finds her life is not what she wanted. So she gets another one. Schedule: Story has been completed. Book One is available free on Amazon and EPUB. Books Two to Five are out now. Final Book out soon. Chapters will be around 500-1000 words. This will not change so if you don't like reading very short chapters wait till the end of the week or even end of the month. This many chapters a week isn't easy to pull off so please bear that in mind. This is a VRMMORPG story, but the ones I've read tend to use VR as an excuse to get into a fantasy world and then don't really play up the game aspect other than pulling up a status screen every now and then. To me, MMOs are about more than the fantasy setting. Bugs, exploits, devs who don't understand their own game, OP classes, over the top nerfs, p2w, ridiculous RNG, cash shop fiasco, lockboxes, raging players, broken mechanics, limited bag space, tedious crafting and above all that, a company trying to squeeze money out if its playerbase while pretending they're just in the business of having fun. Of course, then there's the orcs and elves. This story is about finding yourself in a completely immersive fantasy game, but it's also about what a game like that would really be like.

The Choice is Not Yours
Author's Note: (As of November 20, 2021) I rewrote all the chapters perhaps more than a year ago, but haven't announced that I did so. Because that kind of announcement would include something along the lines of, "I'm working on the story so expect new chapters!" But the truth is, I lack motivation to do anything. And I would hate myself if I broke a promise. I'm extremely sorry if you have been patiently waiting for uploads. These days, I've been studying, not well, but studying somewhat. I will definitely bring more to show, with regular uploads. If not this story then there's another story I've been writing that's really exciting to me. It's not exactly similar to this story since it has a male lead and he is a baneful asshole with even less morals. I hope you'll like it when it comes to existence. And I'll leave my announcement off with the aforementioned promise. Meet Amber, a tomboyish, unstable, and cheeky lass who likes to keep to herself. According to her, she'll live the rest of her life on auto-pilot mode, awhile holding onto the few things that make her remotely happy. However, she forgot that people never really leave you alone, be it humans or even the Gods. And exactly that happens, ending her monotonous life on such the Gods' whim. But at what cost to her? Will she be able to hold onto the things she holds dear? Or will she fail miserably and lose herself in the process? That's what the Gods want to know. Disclaimer: I do not own the cover photo.Warning: If you are easily triggered, I am not writing this novel for you.
