Playing With Other Supernaturals Chapter 93
Advertisement
Aika is now laying on her back watching the world decay. She already opened a hundred or so boxes but found nothing.
"What the hell is this? Isn't there some sort of clue?" Aika muttered blankly staring at the black hole.
" "Are going to give up?" " Aika suddenly heard two contrasting voices of the little girls who disappeared earlier.
Aika looked up and saw them standing five meters away from each other, "I guess I shouldn't. I don't want to become like 'that'." Aika stood up and proceed to open boxes again and again.
" "Are you just going to ignore Father's advice?" " The two spoke behind her.
"Father?" Aika tilted her head in confusion. The only figure that comes to her mind that these two are calling father is the bastard who threw her in this situation, "Wh-" She wanted to ask the little girls who are they referring as father, but she suddenly remembered Kisuke words as he stabs her in the chest, 'Get the red string?'
Aika looked around and found no red string, 'All of these are boxes! How useless!' She then recalled Yoruichi's lesson and training regarding detection, 'If it's my power, I should be able to detect it right? Yosh, let's do it.'
But as she scans the boxes according to Yoruichi's method, all of them felt the same to her and nothing seems to be different in all those boxes. She's getting frustrated as the world is now about to disappear when suddenly she noticed a bunch of white strings coming from the boxes.
Aika was enlightened. She focused her detection skills on those strings and they became more apparent. As she is doing this, a red string is sticking out like a sore thumb, and she understood what Kisuke meant.
Aika pulled it along with the box it is attached and opened it. She saw a hilt of a Japanese sword and questioned if the whole sword is here or just the hilt because of the box's size.

" "Hurry! Pull it out" " The little girls shouted at her.
Aika put her hands on the handle and pulled it but it's stuck so she has to use all her might to pull it.
" "Hurry! Hurry! The world is about to collapse!" "
"Ugh... I... KNOW!!!" Aika used all her strength to pull it one last time and she succeeded, pulling out a two-meter long nodachi.
The moment she pulled it out her attire suddenly changed into a Shihakusho and the world instantly returned to its former appearance.
"Wait... I'm not going to attend some funeral now, do I? When can I get out?" She commented as she inspected her new attire.
" "Congratulations, Mother. Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Aeternam Somnium (Everlasting Dream)." " The two of them spoke the same time again, but when they heard each other's name again, they started another war by throwing red and black balls of energy against each other, creating large amounts of explosions.
"STOP!!!" Aika shouted at the two ballistic little girls and they stopped, "Why are you fighting? Aren't you two siblings?"
" "She took my name!" " They pointed at each other as they explain their reason.
"Although I somehow understand what that name means, but why are you fighting over such a lame name?"
" "Because it's my name!" "
"Who gave you that name?"
They looked at each other and then looked back to Aika shrugging their shoulders, " "I don't know." "
Aika stayed silent for a moment before making her decision, "Come here, you two."
Both of them approached her with a confused look and waited for her to speak.
"I somehow knew that that name is very important, but I really think that it sounds lame. Since you two have the same name, don't fight over it." Aika patted both of their heads, but they look unsatisfied. They don't want to agree to her.

"But it's going to be annoying differentiating you two with the same name, so I'm giving you two a new one." Aika continued.
" "A new one? You want to discard my name?" " The two of them didn't feel well and was about to send Aika back outside and never let her use their name again.
"Of course not. I know how important that name to you two if you're both fighting for it. Since the two of you consider me as your mother, I'll give you additional names so the two of you will have a different set." Aika explained.
Aika faced the red-haired little girl and said, "You will be Akane (Brilliant Red)."
She then faced the black-haired little girl, "And you will be Kaguya (Bright Night)."
Akane and Kaguya looked at each other and smiled. They turned to Aika and exclaimed, " "We like it." " For the first time, the two acknowledged each other.
"Great." Aika is happy that they stopped fighting as she has a feeling that she has to resolve it. After they accepted their new names, Aika felt light as a strange power started to course inside her body.
" "Mother! Show Father our true selves!" "
Aika then loses consciousness as she returns to the outside world. She still wanted to know who are they referring to as 'Father' and why, but she subconsciously knew it and just let herself be taken by the flow towards outside.

"What is that spell? It looks lackluster but somehow, I feel that I won't be able to make any move if that cloth binds me, not to mention those bolts." Sona furrowed her brows as she inspected Kisuke's 'magic'
"It's not from any popular system... It's not even using a magic circle... How does that work?" Akeno muttered which was heard by all of them.
'There are too many unknowns. All we know is that he's an expert in space magic, and everything else is unknown. Where did it come from? From some ancient practitioners? And how did he learned it? For now, I have to remember every detail to search for information about it later.' Sona thought as she looks at Yoruichi.
Sakura was also thinking of the same thing, more or less. She didn't expect that her son is hiding something this big and didn't know what to think of it. 'We should have a proper talk later. But I doubt that he'll tell me everything just like the first time. I have to remind him that he shouldn't go too far in towards the dark side, or else, he'll regret it. I should at least that much as his mother even though I knew that I'm not doing a very good job in it.'
"Are you going to do the 'Final Song'? You might end up killing her." Yoruichi suddenly spoke after seeing Kisuke still not taking back his Reiatsu-Ki.
"I'm not, but just in case... Hmm?" Kisuke then suddenly smiled at Aika's change in the aura, "Looks like she succeeded..." After inspecting closely, his smile suddenly froze, "And she did it all the way... Damn... That's cheating... She's way worse than that strawberry."

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.

The moment I discovered it, I knew I would change the world. Once I finally realized what it actually was... ...I already had. — V. B. Fontaine, PhD

Carus - Libertas
participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.

One so rare that his kind was basically unseen. Bestowed with a name synonymous with death, known as the uncrowned king of the church, what kind of storm will this child bring? Follow our hero as he visits the world and brings change to the society. Disclaimer: The DxD franchise does not belong to me. I am just a fan trying to bring an alternative story to a novel I like. The cover picture doesn't belong to me either. Note: This story will be mainly in the Slashdog part which is part of the DxD universe but set 4 four years prior to the event of DxD. Also, DxD is a light novel with 25 volumes + side volumes and a sequel with already 3 volumes called Shin Highschool DxD. Only the first ten volumes and some side stories have been adapted in Anime. As such many terms and characters, I use may be unknown. But don't worry I will do my best so that everyone can follow. NOTE 2: I AM currently writing another fanfic called THE TRIALS: PATH TOWARD GODHOOD. Try it. The mc is different in personality but I hope you'll like it nonetheless.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
