《The Son of Artemis Book One》Chapter 26:

"Percy what are you doing standing on Lord Zeus table" Chiron asked
"Because he probably wants me to make a dramatic and sassy entrance, since I've been up most of the night talking with him, don't ask me why though, because I'm still coming to terms with it" I responded, only to here the same thunder rumbling, "Yeah yeah I'm getting off" I said up to the sky stepping off his table.
All of the sudden Annabeth ran up to me and engulfed me in a hug, "I was so worried that you were going to die" she whispered in my ear
"Now why would I die" I asked, "I'm pretty hard to kill you know"
"Don't get sassy with me" she shouted, and slapped me
"I wouldn't say that was sassy more so sarcastic but sure we'll go with what you said" I replied rubbing my check because her slaps do hurt, and ducking before she could slap me agin.
"Anyways what did Zeus want to talk to you about" she said, and I noticed that the other campers were all paying close attention.
"Do I have to" I said looking up to the sky only to hear multiple rumbles of of thunder, "your answers hurt me" I said before going back to giving my attention to the campers. "Mom wanted me to explain my back story to him since I haven't really talked about it with anyone who wasn't involved in my life since I was young. She thought it would be good for me" I said, "and before you ask no I'm not telling anyone here yet. Just know I was raised by the hunt for the vast majority of life" I said before heading to my mom's table to get something to eat.
I finished breakfast rather quickly and made my standard sacrifices, adding on Zeus because he blessed me recently, before I headed off to the arena to get some training in.

I was about midway through the poorly constructed dummies, before Annabeth and Clarisse interrupted me, "How about some real targets to give you a challenge Prissy" Clarisse asked
"Why do I feel like I'm going to be ganged up on by you two and the rest of Clarisse's cabin" I asked
"Because you are, punk, gotta prove your worth" One of Ares's sons said
"we even heard you got dad to chicken out of a fight" another one said
I sighed, "well I was wielding the master bolt, which he didn't think I knew how to use. He shouldn't have underestimated me like his children are doing now" I finished pulling out my duel hunting knives.
I ended up taking the Ares cabin out, not including Clarisse, as she got lucky and caught me with the edge of her spear, when I was finishing off the last of her siblings. "Ouch that spear hurts you know" I said to Clarisse
"Oh like getting knocked out and given a concussion by a set of knives isn't" she countered
"Touché" I said before I went after her for the comments.
I knocked Clarisse's shield and spear away and had her at knife point. One problem though, I forgot about Annabeth and she had me at knife point. "I see we find ourselves in a draw" I said
"Draw, oh Perseus you do realize you don't haaa..." Annabeth started, and I put a knife at her throat, benefits of wielding two. "I spoke too soon" she finished
"So draw" I asked
"Fine" Clarisse and Annabeth said, and Annabeth and I withdrew the weapons since Clarisse was weaponless.
"gotta say that was the best fight I had while I was here, though it wouldn't have been close if you didn't get that lucky shot Clarisse" I said,

"Lucky that was pure skill" she boasted
"yes yes of course it was just like the skill you siblings have of getting knocked out" I questioned
"You forgot about me" Annabeth said
"True but you still got distracted" I responded, "though I suppose I should head to the infirmary if you want me kicking ass tonight at capture the flag"
"oh no you don't, we are going to beat you" Clarisse said
"Good. Annabeth I will distract the Ares cabin then and the rest of you can go get the flag" I said, before running out before either of them can start yelling at me.
"Hey Michael you think you can help me here" I asked finally reaching the Apollo cabin
"you need medical attention" he asked shocked
"yes, kinda got hit by Clarisse in the arena, and don't want to tend to it myself" I said
he nodded and started patching me up, "So who won" he asked
"it was a draw because I forgot about Annabeth and she got me as I got Clarisse, though I did distract her long enough to get a knife at her throat so it wasn't a complete loss"
"wait you took on both of them" he asked
"and the rest of the Ares cabin" I said
"you're stupid" he said
"no the rest of the Ares cabin are, they can't hold off against me unlike Clarisse, who can" I said, "who only got lucky with her one hit on me"
"Sure" he said
"so what's the news around the infirmary" I asked
"oh Peter this and Peter that, did he really defeat Medusa, the Chimera, Echidna, and Ares" he asked
"official on the record yes" I said
"and why do I have a feeling off the record is different"
"Because it is, truth is Annabeth and I defeated Chimera and Echidna, and I defeated Medusa, while Ares wasn't truly defeated he bugged out of the fight, after a little lightning from the master bolt"
"Oh ok, and I suppose this is suppose to be kept confidential"
"yes, because we don't want a certain, prideful god throwing a big cry fest like he did with the hellhound and CTF game" I responded
"oh ok"
"Perseus, I was told I could find you in here" I heard Chiron say from the doorway
"Back here" Michael said before I could tell him to keep quit
"Perseus what are you doing here" Chiron sighed out
"Clarisse got a lucky shot in a 12 v 1" I said, "didn't want to deal with it myself"
"that's why you should go to your classes" He said
"yes yes because my classes are totally correct placement, anyway why are you here, because I know you didn't come here to ask why I'm here" I countered
"Come to the big house after lunch, we need to be debriefed on the happenings of the quest you were on"
"Alright" I said, Chiron looked shocked but left
"you know Chiron is usually nice" Michael said
"I'm aware, but he hates me for some reason, probably because I'm proof that others can do his job better than him. Though I've been training since I was four, and I'm not to sure if there are any others who can claim the same" I said
"You're correct on that, but I'm done. Go head off to lunch or prank the Hermes cabin" he said
"Alright, I might just head straight to the big house though" I said
"Alright see you later cuz, and be careful with those stitches" He said, leaving me
"alright, but I make no promises" I called out, before I heard Apollo yelling at me to listen to his son in my head.

The Unsorcerer
DISCLAIMER: The cover pic is not my original work. Credits goes to the Illustrator. This is a story of a man named Cipher, a 21st Century man reincarnated in a world where magic is the way of life. In the continent of Iarica, the people of this land are able to wield the crystals or magic stones for whatever purpose they desire. These people are called "Sorcerers", blessed individuals who are favored by the Gods and gifted with an ability to manipulate "Mana", the energy of the World and the energy source that makes all of the machines run. Cipher in contrast, is not. He is an "Unsorcerer", a person unable to wield the crystals and mana and eventually magic itself. Because of this "defect", he is shunned, ridiculed, and abused by most people and eventually by the whole society. Little did Iarica and her denizens know, this so-called reject of society is more than what he seems... Note: This humble Author-san is not a native English speaker, so there will be grammatical errors. Also the chapters are short, about 1K words. However I will try my best efforts on reaching the 2k-4k words threshold. Another note is that this will be a Harem fic, so to anyone who are not fan of the genre this may not be your cup of tea. Any criticsm are welcome as long it can help me to improve my writing skills since I'm just a newcomer in this scene.

Trials of a Magic Core
He was brave, and noble, and true. He was also a hunk of crystal floating in a magical circle, brought into existence by the self-styled "Greatest Magus of All Time" to be his personal intelligent magical encyclopedia, filled with every minutiae of the arcane this Magus could stuff into it, all ready and accessible at a moment's notice. But is simply knowing all there is to life? Can he strive for more? Should he? (Writer's Note:) I'm a pretty new writer, so expect delays, errors, inconsistent logic, plot holes the size of a small 4-wheeled vehicle, and a distinct lack of snark. At least from the MC. Also, yes, the cover is an image I made in paint. I have...NO artistic skills. It is a placeholder. Also, I came up with this idea in the shower after a nine-hour RRL binge. SO BEAR WITH ME.
