《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 16

Everyone from the ship was now set up with a place to live for the time being. The team was trying to find a way to help all of these people off of the island before the League of Assassins showed up to take them for the rest of their training. They knew that if these people were still here when the League arrived, it would be a possibility that all of them would be killed, and for the most part these people were good people and didn't deserve to die.
"I was thinking that we need to find a way to get these people off the island before the League arrives to take us for our training. Do you guys have any ideas on that?" Oliver asked.
"We can probably put them on the submarine and send them on their way. We just need to make sure that it still works and can move." Barry said.
"That is a good idea, Barry. What do we need to do in order for this to work?" Laurel asked.
"First we need to make sure that everything is working and then we will need to check the hull to make sure there aren't any cracks or holes. It would be bad to send them off on a sinking sub." Barry said.
"I can go and check that out. The rest of you check and make sure that the sub is in working condition." Kara said as the group headed for the sub.
. . .
Thirty minutes later the team arrived at the sub and everyone got on board except for Kara who swam around the sub and then under it to see if there were any problems with the sub. The people who were inside found that everything was able to go. Now they just needed to see what Kara found out.

Kara entered the sub and everyone looked at her. "So, what did you find out?" Oliver asked.
"The sub is in great shape. The only problem I saw was that the ship was trapped on a stone ledge. I can take care of that. I just wanted to give you all an update first." Kara said.
"Go take care of it. Everything works just fine here. We will go and get the other people and lead them back here so that we can get them out of here." Laurel said as she and Sara left to get the survivors of the amazo.
. . .
"So, what's on your mind sis? You look like you are deep in thought." Laurel said.
"I am just thinking about Shado. In a way I hope that she leaves because then I know that she will be safe. On the other hand, I want her to stay here with me." Sara said.
"Well, give her the two options and whatever she decides you will just have to live with it." Laurel said.
"You are right. It is not my decision to make. I will give her the options and what she decides will be on her." Sara said and Laurel nodded.
Soon they arrived at the camp and started to gather all the people together so that they could give them the news that they would get off of the island today. "Everyone gather around." Laurel called out to everyone. "We have found a way to get everyone off of the island. Come with us and we will lead you there."
"So, how long have you known about the way to get off of this island?" Anatoly asked.
"We have known about the sub for a while, but we just found out that it would run and that it was safe to use. If you want to get off this island you need to come with us now." Sara said and Anatoly and the others nodded as they got ready to follow Sara and Laurel back to the sub.

Shado walked up to Sara and asked, "Why does it sound like your little group won't be leaving with the rest of the people here?"
"Because we aren't. We need to stay for a reason that I can't tell you right now. I wish I could, but I can't." Sara said
"I understand, but I hope you know that I am going to stay with you." Shado said.
"I can't ask you to stay here." Sara said.
"I know, and you didn't ask me to stay. I decided to do that on my own." Shado said.
"If that is what you want I won't try to change your mind. Just know that we will be in danger the whole time we are here, just like we have been so far while we have been here." Sara said and Shado nodded.
"I am willing to take that chance to be with you." Shado said.
"Well, what do you think that your father will do?" Sara asked.
"I am not sure. I hope that he goes home, but I don't know that he will be welcome there." Shado said.
"Yeah, you might be right. Let's head for the sub." Sara said and everyone followed to the sub.
. . .
Now that everyone was at the sub, people started to board so that they could make their way home. There was only one real problem. They didn't know if anyone could drive the sub.
"Is there anyone here who would be able to drive this sub?" Oliver asked.
"I have driven one before." Anatoly said.
"Good. Once my friends and I leave the sub, get these people to safety." Oliver said.
"What about you and your friends?" Anatoly asked.
"We have to stay here. I can't explain why, but just know that it is for a good reason." Oliver said.
"I do trust you my friend. If you are ever in Russia and need something, don't hesitate to come and find me. I owe you for getting me off of that ship." Anatoly said and Oliver nodded and shook the man's hand.
"I will see you around Anatoly." Oliver said as they left the ship while also being joined by Shado. Yeo Fei decided to go home and find Mai, his other daughter, and make sure that she was ok.
"Well, at least we got them all out of here before the League of Assassins arrived to take us in." Laurel said and the rest of the group nodded and they went back to their camp.

Scraprats
The name's Eileen, I'm a scraprat, that means my job is to track down all those rotten hulks people leave all over the cosmos. Maybe even sometimes the crew with them. As for the ship? She's the Reliance, one-time Dreadnought class warship, now, floating scrapyard. Apparently, somebody decided after all these years she's worth something, so let's try to keep her from being used to repay my debts so I can keep repaying, no ship, no job, no little luxuries like air, or water. No mean feat when your fees are due to go to Tyr, he makes most loan sharks seem like goldfish, and will take payment by the installment plan. (I like all my installments, especially ones like kidneys, and tech replacements are pricey.) So let's make a to do list 1. fix ship 2. pay off the "loans". 3. Try not to get hunted down for the technology my ship planted in me without telling me............. Well that's new.

Noel was a normal ordinary modern-day man who died in a car crash. After his death, he got an offer which you could not say no: Get reincarnated with extra cheat-like ability tailored to his soul into a fantasy world. How big a surprise was, that his ability is to “dupe”? And even bigger surprise, he was not born into the MC, but into his fat and useless cousin? This story is about a journey in xantia-like world where also a kind-of system exists. Partly dramatic with some xantia troupe comedy. Its also about character development….and of course, there will be power level jumps. Let's follow Noel into his very honest try to climb at the top of the food chain, battle calamities, and conquer impossible dungeons. P.S: English is not my first language, I will be happy if you point out my mistakes, thank you. EDIT: Curently HItaus on Mount Forever. :/ . I m sorry.

8 155Sorcerer, level 1
Alcar's life sucks. His days in the poor quarter of the city of Katresburg are long and tough, his parents treat him like garbage, and he doesn’t have a silver moon to his name. But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent. It also becomes apparent that Master Maluhk is only interested in ’apprentices’ in order to get someone to do his laundry and tidy up his books. At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
