《Growing Old》Carpet
Advertisement
There were flashing lights onto the sidelines. Cameras, phones, all taking pictures and videos. Heroes were walking down the red carpet, their names being called with their attack power and a description about them.
"Coming in to our Top Five!" The announcer, who was Actually Present Mic, announced. "Number Five, Red Riot! Attack Level 390. Currently dating Pinky and works at Cementos's former agency. This hero can turn his body rock hard, making him unbreakable!"
Kirishima was walking down the carpet, waving at the cameras with a sharp toothy smile.
"Number Four, Nejire Chan! Attack Level 457. This sparky girl has it all! The looks and the personality! You can always count on her to get your mood up when your down. This hero can shoot energy surges great and small!"
Nejire floated in, posing for the camera as she giggled.
"Number Three, Shoto! Attack Level 570. Son of former hero Endeavor, this man can make any girl swoon. This hero can create ice and fire! He works at Midnight's former agency, usually working alongside Imperium."
Todoroki looked unfazed by the cameras and girls screaming in very high pitched tones.
"Number two, Ground Zero! Attack Level 590. This man can create explosions right from his hands by the nitroglycerin he sweats. He has a bit of an attitude but does this man have spunk! He works at Cementos's former agency, mostly alongside Charge Bolt and Red Riot, as well as is newly engaged to Deku!"
Bakugo groaned as he walked down the carpet, stopping to pose for one photo and one photo only.
"Last, but very not least- Number One, Deku! Attack Level 640. Our Symbol of Peace and successor of All Might, this boy can do it all! He never fails to smile, even in a life or death situation. Even at a young age, he defeated villains left and right, always strategizing to do the best!"

Izuku smiled widely, waving to the cameras as he walked the carpet. He quickly caught up to Bakugo, which they linked arms as more pictures were taken. They walked into the building, where they saw their friends and past heroes sitting at a table ready for interviews.
Once they sat down, the questioning began.
Most questions were towards All Might and Izuku, some being towards Kirishima, Tamaki, and Fat Gum too. Of course the couples, Mina and Kirishima as well as Bakugo and Izuku.
"Enough with these child play questions!" A reporter spoke up. "You have Tomura detained correct? But what about the other part of his League? Don't you believe they will have a plan in place for his rescue or what they will be up to? You heroes are supposed to be protecting Japan! Instead, you all are off becoming engaged or making puppy eyes to each other. Some heroes you are!"
Some other reporters joined in on that type of questioning, all claiming their not living up to what heroes should be. Most of the heroes being questioned were hesitant to answer. Bakugo wanted to blow up the main culprit of the questioning, but Todoroki smacked his arm. Izuku glanced to All Might, who nudged his head towards the crowd.
Izuku took a deep breathe, standing up and moving to the front of the stage they were seated on. Instantly, the crowd became silent and he looked to them all.
"I know... I know it may seem like we aren't doing anything." Izuku started. "We want to reassure you all, that we are still doing our jobs even though it seems like we are not. But, just as you all, we too have a life we want to live. Being a hero is very dangerous and we put our lives on the line because we want to protect you all. Or for my instance, I want everyone to be able to smile and to live their lives. If Tomura is broken out of the prison, we all will be right there to detain him once again. We have already been meeting together to figure out where the rest of the League are, but it's difficult when we haven't seen, nor heard, of them in years. With that, please be patient with us, and we'll be patient with you."

Izuku went to sit back down, leaving the crowd in utter silence. He was a bit annoyed at the disbelief of the citizens, but otherwise proud to have reassured them. Because at that point, everyone was clapping, reporters apologizing.
And with that, more questioning came.

A Fractal Divide
Lesivar is a city in ascendancy. With recent innovations in magical crafting, the common people are experiencing a boom in comfort and wealth. The nobility, long used to being the stewards of knowledge and power, struggle to adapt to the new world in which they find themselves. A precarious balance has been maintained throughout, but forces stir beneath the surface threatening to send the city spiraling into chaos. This is my first attempt at writing anything longer than a short story, and I welcome any feedback or corrections. I'm posting this as I write, with each chapter going live upon completion. My current pace is about a chapter a day, which I expect to take my through the end of November. From there, I'm shooting for a chapter every two-three days until the book is completed, along with an editing pass of what is already up. I'm planning on three POV characters with unique insight into the story as it unfolds. Each chapter will contain only one POV. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?
