《Night Ranger》Chapter 379. Impending [4/10]

The 16th of January!
That date was a month earlier than the 16th of February that Marvin remembered!
The Gods were impatient, but the shadow of the Wizard God had always been looming above them. They only dared to do this because they found evidence that the Wizard God couldn't influence Feinan anymore.
Although Marvin did many things since he transmigrated, affecting the world's development and creating some butterfly effects, it mostly shouldn't have affected the Astral Sea.
'Could it be Glynos' matter?' Marvin's heart sank.
The Great Calamity being this far ahead of time meant that his plans were completely thrown into disorder.
Today was the 2nd of January, only 14 days away from the start of the Great Calamity!
Of course, the Gods teaming up to attack the Universe Magic Pool wouldn't be able to succeed in just one move. They would need at least half a month!
In the game, the group formed by the New Gods included many powerful existences, yet they weren't able to shatter the Universe Magic Pool completely until March!
And during that time, the magic of the Wizards lost its effectiveness and riots sprung up everywhere. It was the most chaotic of times.
Some powerhouses had already sensed a few things but they could only protect a very limited number of people.
The Wizards became anxious and Chaos Magic Power leaked from the Universe Magic Pool, attacking their wills.
Many went insane, turning into humanoid monstrosities.
The Feinan Continent of that time was filled with corpses and berserk arcane energy. Not only was the countryside unsafe, but the cities were too.
Especially in the South. Because of the South Wizard Alliance's high-handed rule, the cities were filled with Wizards.
After the Calamity, areas with Wizards were like minefields.
In fact, the wilderness was a bit safer.

Although there were some magic lifeforms affected by the Chaos Magic Power that turned bloodthirsty and berserk, it wasn't like a gathering of Wizards.
Scattered bombs were relatively less threatening than gathered bombs.
In short, once the Great Calamity started, Feinan would sink into constant chaos!
White River Valley wouldn't escape from this either!
Marvin had stressed many times at the start of the development that they shouldn't recruit Wizards under the Legend Realm to White River Valley.
But because he had a bit of a relationship with Hathaway and Madeline, White River Valley still had some Wizards from both River Shore City and Ashes Tower.
Who knew how many of these Wizards would be able to resist the willpower test from the Great Calamity?
At that time, if Marvin wasn't present, panic would inevitably spread.
The territory might collapse from that point on!
'Fuck! Why did it shift to such an early date!'
Marvin had thought of a lot of possibilities and scenarios, but hadn't expected that the Great Calamity would happen this much ahead of time.
The time he had left was rather tight.
There were only 14 days left!
...
"I was also shocked the first time I found out about this."
Although the youth shrugged, worry still showed in his eyes. "Thus, I checked to make sure. I grabbed a few small Overlords in Hell and confirmed what I just told you."
"For this attack on the Universe Magic Pool, the Gods took out a secret weapon they had prepared for a long time. Even if Hell and the Abyss wouldn't participate, they still had their ways to gain information. Many Overlords are getting ready for battle, preparing to march on Feinan."
"Naturally, there is also the Negative Energy Plane. I heard you got rid of an Evil Spirit Overlord? That is quite an astonishing feat... But there are many Evil Spirit Overlords. Tidomas is the most active one now. You have to be careful of their retaliation."

"Damn… Another space interference."
His grandfather's image blurred. "I'll come back quickly, before that, make sure to protect you…"
His words were cut off as he disappeared.
Marvin's heart was resolute.
To tell the truth, he didn't feel anything towards this grandfather. Marvin thought he was very mysterious, since he disappeared such a long time ago. Even the body's original owner didn't remember anything about him.
But even so, that bloodline connection still made him seem very familiar.
His grandfather was sincerely concerned about him. It was clear that even if his grandfather could communicate through the Ancestor's Mystery, it would use up a lot of Magic Power, or even resources, to transmit a signal across planes toward Feinan.
Him telling Marvin this information about the earlier date had great importance.
At least he wouldn't be caught unprepared.
Thinking about it, if he wasn't aware of the Great Calamity coming ahead of time, he might still be adventuring outside while White River Valley was done for!
It wasn't that he didn't believe in the abilities of Constantine, Daniela and the others, but the problem was that they wouldn't be able to resist against the Chaos Magic Power!
They would likely have to abandon White River Valley and hide in the Shrieking Mountain Range, which was protected by Shackles of Order, but many refugees would lose their lives to the monsters living there.
He had to hurry to White River Valley. He mustn't be late!
Thinking of this, he took out a green Thousand Paper Crane.
This crane was something Owl had prepared for Marvin. Regardless of the distance, it could send a message once.
He had to relay this information to White River Valley!
...
In a dark castle, a group of people were sitting at a round table, discussing enthusiastically.
In front of these people, even White River Valley's Proxy Overlord, Wayne, and the Overlord's fiancée, Daniela, had to be respectful.
Constantine, Inheim, O'Brien, Endless Ocean, Heavenly Deer Lorant, Shadow Thief Owl… And Legend Wizard Leymann!
These Legend powerhouses were gathered in White River Valley.
"Regarding Hathaway's matter, everyone should be very clear." Shadow Thief Owl calmly described the situation. "Lady Dark Phoenix is eccentric and hadn't overstepped her boundaries before. She also knows of Lady Hathaway's Seer identity."
"I heard from another source that Lady Dark Phoenix's power is very formidable, at least not inferior to that of Sir Nicholas."
After these words, Wayne's expression wavered. The other source Owl mentioned was naturally him.
Unlike Marvin, he was a true Seer... His dreams were real.
His dream this time was of a huge fight between Marvin and Dark Phoenix. Marvin suffered a crushing defeat to Dark Phoenix's incredible might.
Her powerful aura left a deep impression on Wayne and was something the other Legends were unable to match up to.
"Regardless, the guys up there are certainly plotting something. We need Hathaway's Seer ability."
Inheim calmly said, "I don't have any friendship with Dark Phoenix. I'll personally step forward in this matter."
Owl smiled bitterly and was about to say something when suddenly, a green light flashed.
"What's that?"
All the Legends frowned.
Shadow Thief Owl grabbed that Thousand Paper Crane and absent-mindedly muttered, "Information about Marvin. Maybe he met a disaster while tempering himself in the Dead Area and is waiting for us to save him…"
But the next second, he jumped up from his seat while cursing, "Fuck! They are crazy!"

A-Live AI
The year is 2247. For almost two hundred years Sentient AI research has been banned. Everyone knew this, and yet no one has ever given up on finding the perfect setup for it. Restricted AI are rare, but possible to get ahold of if you have the money and the clout to get through the law for it. Especially when it deals with the military. Alfred Homis is an engineer and has spent the last three years working for the United Terran Military's Research and Exploration Department. Specifically to help build a 'shackled' AI who's prime directive was to explore potentially habitable worlds. Worlds that are far cheaper to colonize and add to the United Terran Directorate's fold than terraforming. During the AI's maiden voyage things go horribly wrong, taking Alfred Homis along for the ride. Thrown into a parallel universe where the laws of physics are just a little messed up, Alfred finds himself trapped inside the very machine he'd helped to build. Add magic, hostile fantasy creatures, and two different pantheons of 'Gods' to the mix and things get even more complicated. Oh, and an invasion between universes to boot. But that's just all in a days work though for Alfred, the AI Lord. Authors Note: Hi guys! Long time no see. And yes, I know that's all on me. But I blame life for that. Anyway, this is my new work, and I hope you guys enjoy it! The chapters are a little shorter than I'd previously posted in my other stories, but I cannot say that I have the same amount of time or energy to write them like that anymore. Sorry about that. Still, some warnings: There is cursing in this story. I am not going to edit it out. There will be sexual content later. Blood, gore and cruel depictions are all planned. If that isn't your thing, I'd suggest you turn back now. There is also my dry, and often not-so-funny sense of humor. And oh, it's all in first person gain. Haha. I just tend to write better that way. If none of that bothers you, then enjoy the read! Feel free to comment, point out mistakes, or make suggestions! Reviews are nice too, but please lay off the criticism until the story gets good and going. Thank you. Note 1: Some edits to the synopsis.

Note- This is the first time I have written anything but I have a solid idea of where the story is going and what I want to happen, I can't promise my uploading rate won't be sporadic as I have other committments but if this gets big enough I'll definitely work up a schedule. Please leave comments if I've made any errors/ if you have anything you'd like to see in the story. This is pretty much just for fun so I don't mind working things in. Thank you ever so much!

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth. Having studied profusely and written many papers published by large firms he was well-respected and accomplished in his field. But that did not prevent him from having his own problems in his personal life. Having chased behind the back of science for so long he had neglected his social life, ending up lonely and without a partner in his early twenties coming out of his studies. He decided that the best way for him to rekindle his social prowess was to retire to teaching high school science in a small town. He never ended up falling in love as he dreamed but he did find surprising contentment from dealing with the troubled raccoons he taught on a daily basis. Finding himself summoned to a strange world by unknown forces he is confronted with harsh issues and the struggles of its people. Meeting many more problem children, he is moved by his sense of duty to help them find their path in this journey through life. As well as find his own in this dangerous new world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter updates DAILY AT 12:00 PM EST (...Is the goal, sometimes a bit later in the day or the next day at 12:00 instead :P ) Definitely at least once every two days though!
