《A helping hand (American Dragon: Jake Long Fic)》Ch. 4

They were able to turn back time to the crate. Jake was talking about his plan before looking at the two holding hands.
"Uh, you two know-"
Lynn looked around before gasping in delight.
"A Fénix hair! Oh we are so gonna pummel those guys!"
Nigel showed her his find.
"and with a eye of djinn? God why didn't we think of this before! Jake how did you find her? Actually, how did you end up friends with long? He's a bit of a hothead for me."
Lynn shrugged.
"It's his charm, but no more dilly dallying, we still gotta heal Jake...no wonder he transformed last time!"
Lynn grabbed a golden orb. Nigel was confused with Jake on that one.
"It's a dragonic essence! It's like a portable dragon energy. Jake probably got a hold of it but used it wrong."
Jake was tired of this talk.
"Ok, first off, I never touched that thing in my life, secondly, what's with you two spazzing out yo?"
Lynn smiled.
"You will? We time traveled a bit into the past. Now stay still Jake it might feel weird."
Lynn held the orb before jakes eyes and poured her energy to concentrate onto Jake. Jake watched as the orb glowed golden and began to send swirls of magic around him. Jake felt like he was in limbo. When it was done Jake felt like he was at his normal.
"Woah! Guess it's time to-"
"wait, Jake we still have to get to the boss. We-"
A blast from the side of the crate knocked the trio down.
"You think your pathetic magic could escape from me!"
Nigel made a shield for them.
"Could use some help."
Lynn grabbed her hair band and combined it with the fenix hair and held out the eye of djinn to Nigel. He held the eye in his palm and felt the magic flow into his wand.

"The power of three combine in forthright, in the light of our deeds you will fall tonight!"
Lynn murmured in Latin and her charm worked even better with the hair. Around the dark mage was purple chains surrounding him. Nigel flicked his wrist.
"With power of djinn, drag down the gent!"
In blue weights were added to keep the mage down and Jake easily slammed him into the wall.
"Nighty night, joker!"
Lynn put her headband back and sighed. Nigel too leaned next her tired. Jake was cheering but he looked at the two mages.
"Uh, y'all good?"
Lynn grumbled but nodded.
"Lot of mana used for those spells, I'm surprised you are so powerful I never got your full name."
Nigel smiled at Lynn.
"Nigel Thrall."
Lynn paused before bouncing to her feet excitedly.
"As in son of Jane and Klaus Thrall!!"
Nigel nodded and was surprised he found a fan of his family.
"I loved those acts your parents performed. My parents used to take me to them all the time. I don't even know why people dislike them. The amount of focus into the acts is amazing. I tried to recreate the Gin in jar act but I couldn't."
Nigel was surprised at that.
"Well, that's a hard trick because-"
"it requires a three step spell? No, I know it a two spells and ones a two step."
Nigel found himself a bit in shock. Usually his family gave out fake steps to their fans so they can try to recreate them. For someone to figure it out, well, it was shocking.
"I know! I love how intricate all your family's tricks are and my family loved to see me recreate them when I was young. Kinda embarrassed to admit it.."
Nigel shook his head and smiled at her.

"I think it's amazing someone actually sees the effort with face value. Can I get your name as well."
Lynn paused and felt hesitant to say.
"I..I'm Lynn C-"
Luckily Jake came in to help her.
"Hey Lynn, I still need some help getting all this junk back to their proper place. Nigel didn't you have something tomorrow?"
Nigel grumbled but long was correct. The heirloom of his family was only stolen due to their big performance the next day.
"Hmm, well, I must be off, I have to return a family treasure. Actually, I want to invite you to the next big show in a few weeks. It would be a pleasure to have you there."
Lynn wanted to, but it wouldn't be too good to have the thorn of the grand council there alone.
"Can Jake come?"
Nigel winced but with Lynn's expectant face he relented.
"Fine, long can come, but no dragon business and don't mess with anything."
Lynn smiled happily.
"I'll have him on a leash. Literally or figuratively if it comes down to it."
The mages laughed as their dragonic friend lunged at them. Lynn said her farewells to Nigel and sighed in relief. Jake nudged her and gave her a no excuse stare.
"Ok, what's up with you? With not letting Nigel know who you are?"
Lynn winced and looked to the side.
"I'm, pretty infamous in the magic community. I'm the only mage in our time to be able to do magic without a wand. I'm well hidden enough."
Jake gave her a look to continue you. Lynn turned and started to lift the artifacts into proper piles.
"My face is hidden from the public, but not my name or deeds. I'm Lynn Cardoso, I'm the black thorn of the magic council. Sent out to deal with strong magical problems. Rumors spread and one thing to another, I'm like a mercenary."
She finished lifting the last item and turned to Jake.
"As the American dragon, you get how people can have some misconceptions about you right?"
Jake nodded. He had his fair share of rumors gone wrong and getting framed.
"Yeah, but it sounds like people are talking about you as if your the grim reaper."
Lynn raised her eyebrow and he knew enough. Jake snorted before apologizing.
"Sorry, you're like, the total opposite in real life! Girl that sucks for you yo,"
Lynn nodded and she picked at her hands.
"I like Nigel, he's nice, a thrall, and smart. He actually respected me as a witch, and normal warlocks have a stigma about witches. I was about to do wandless magic until he mentioned he was a wizard. I don't want him to be scared of me."
Jake nodded, but he gave her shoulder a pat.
"Well, lying to him about who you are? That's just gonna make him hate you. I think you should tell him. One thing I did wrong with Rose was not being honest."
Lynn sighed and created a portal home.
"It's not simple, I thought you would know better than everyone else."
She left and went to her quarters. As she got ready for the night her mentor came by.
"You went out to help the dragon. With a young warlock as well. Who was he?"
Lynn shrugged, she knew the stigma against thrills.
"I didn't catch his full name."
Her mentor hummed before leaving.
"Make sure to not reveal yourself too much. No one needs to know that you are with the American dragon."

Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times.

The demon whispers inside Jack’s mind. “They are not worthy, they are cattle, these new humans you covet. The so-called creator has betrayed you, replaced you with these organic imitations. Slaughter them all.” It’s funny, not in a ha-ha funny way, but a sad, my madness doesn’t make sense type of way, Jack thinks, because wasn’t he human? Worse still, the voice comes with impulses that are hard to resist. Violence usually ensues. That’s why he joined the military. A way to channel his urges into mind-numbing physical effort and war. It works for a time. But alcohol and fighting can only carry on for so long. Finally, he realizes, his only way out is suicide. But when he opens his eyes, he’s in the In-Between. The creator has other plans for him, and she won’t take no for an answer. Apparently, this isn’t his first life and if he doesn’t free her from her prison, it won’t be his last. His curse is to be reborn without end, without rest, without memory. Only madness. Now Jack is on the run from forces he doesn’t understand. It’s a new world. The mundane replaced by ethereal artificial intelligence, spontaneous virtual realities, and homicidal bible salesmen. But the creator promises the demon’s voice will disappear as soon as he finds the right girl, the right bond. After that, they just have to escape the clutches of those who hunt them, find the Isle of Song, and free the creator from her prison. Or maybe this time, in this life, Jack will figure out what true freedom is. Come along on this action-packed thriller as Jack fights to remember who he is, tries to end an eternal war, and atone for sins he doesn’t remember…yet.

There exist many worlds out in the universes. Within the Devine realm, the Gods manage each and every world carefully. That said, the worlds outnumber the Gods since there is an almost infinite number of worlds. Thankfully, every world doesn't need a God to work properly. Though, some worlds are in desperate need of some due to monsters or demons causing damage to them. To help isolate them and save the worlds, the Gods created a plan. The plan gives each world a rank that shows the danger level of the world. The plan also ranks each God depending on how powerful and wise they are. Then, each God gets assign to a world that matches their ability and rank. This said the Gods are unable to interact with the world directly.

The Heroes come from other worlds that have passed away. The plan picks out Hereos and then the Gods train them so that they are prepared to save the other world. Within the realm that the dead goes to for judgement, a person stands in line with a soul so bright it might be mistaken for a God.
