《My Magical System 》Chapter 6: The clash
Advertisement
About 200 soldiers split up into 40 squads were sent to storm the northern part of the Sitona Town.
Yeman doesn't know what to do. In his mind, a doubt still lingering. He tried to think of excuses to exempt himself from the battle that will be going to happen. But, nothing came to his mind. Of course, nothing will come. Not when he felt someone from behind sending sharp piercing gazes towards him.
These ticklish feelings of being stared at were disturbingly making him feel uncomfortable. He can't even surmise well of what excuses were better. He glances at the back, but what greeted Yeman was unbearable glares, straight at him. Yeman gulped and hurriedly turned back his gaze to the front.
He let a sigh escape from his mouth before he decided to stride without looking back again. Their current location is 200meters away, northwest of Sitona Town.
The sun rose emblazoned the whole place with its golden brilliance that comes from its laser-like rays and extended the shadows forming like a phantom of themselves.
Everyone's face was painted in different emotions as their legs kicked the pale dry brownish soil of the fallen land, producing hovering clouds of dust as they strode without looking back.
When the sun hit the angle of 50 degrees east, the gloomy towering wall ahead finally showed its canopy. As they were marching towards it, everyone stoned their resolve and readied themselves. In their minds were, "To die in the battlefield wasn't really bad." Yet, before they neared the towering wall of the fallen Sitona Town, "Enemy incoming!" One of the soldiers shouted for warning.
A tension suddenly rose up and everyone stopped on their feet as they craned their neck towards the front. Yeman glanced ahead and saw the rapidly scuttering rats, running on their two legs as a human did. In their hands were different kinds of weapons. Yet, they all had uniformed strange sinister grotesque figures.

"Muscle heads, at the front!"
"All range units follow up and prepare to fire!"
"Vanguards and scouts! Prepare to die!"
The Commander in his overbearing voice immediately shouted his commands, one after another.
After the commander shouted his command, all the soldiers with a range attacking spell immediately lined in front as they readied their spells and ranged weapons in hand. While at their front, the well-built muscular soldiers stayed on their knees as they readied their shield equipment. Some chanted and materialized their own shield using a spell.
In the distance, specks of dust rose up like clouds. About two hundred and above ratmen were rushing towards the soldier's directions. Yeman also noticed the ground ahead lurched like a snake. Like something was burrowing on the ground surface while bulldozing the land and moving like a snake.
The ground was seemingly groaning in agony as it was vibrating and trembling.
His body hairs went upright as he watched the scene. It was the same scene that could only be seen in a movie.
A chill running down his spine. And his heartbeat pounded like crazy. He could even feel his hands sweating. Yeman tightly gripped the spear. He was worried if he was able to survive or not after this battle.
He really was wondering what kind of place is this. Monsters like rats are walking on two feet while carrying weapons. And the people around him, most of them were able to manifest some kind of magic spells.
This is literally a magical world! He really reincarnated in a fantasy world! This is most of the geek's dreams. However, his life was on death's door already.
Nervous gulping sounds were discernible around him. While some were excited while chuckling and saying, "Ehehehe, this is it! This is so lively! Ahaha!"

Yeman glanced at the person. The guy was unfairly riding a horse. He had curly medium blonde hair. His white long sleeves were toppled by a blue sleeveless bordering his waist, which was also toppled by a silver-plated chest plate. On his waist hang a longsword in a blue scabbard with the exquisite design of dazzling crystals.
Beside him was a beauty with golden long hair. She wore a blue cape over a white velvet dress. And on her waist, a 1-meter sword in white scabbard was hanging.
She was a beauty made out of a painting. In her dazzling blue eyes reflected the scene in front of her.
Yeman was looking at her when suddenly the girl glanced at him and snorted.
He hastily darted his eyes in front and grimaced.
"Fire!" A loud commanding voice echoed in his ears.
Which followed by different colors of spell hovering towards the approaching enemies.
Fireballs were shot like comets. And different kinds of spells were raining towards the enemies. Even the arrows they shot were enveloped by dazzling brilliance.
Different kinds of noises, simultaneously caught by his ears. He remembered a certain day of celebration on earth while watching the scene and hearing their noises.
When the spells landed randomly at the approaching enemies. Squeaking cries of the beast were grieving in his ears.
Like signaling the start of the battle, scattered explosions exploded randomly.
Smokes from the explosion envelop the enemy's group. The smell of charred flesh and hair was being carried by the wind towards their nostrils.
Yeman covered his nose, while the others unbothered by it. Maybe they were used to it though.
"Stop acting like a scumbag!"
Thud!
He suddenly felt a pain on the back of his head. Yeman scratches his head and hastily glances at his back in annoyance. But when he saw the cold stare from the cold-looking beauty, he swallowed back his anger as he thought, 'It's not good to fight back someone who is used to fighting. Unlike me who only knew how to play video games.'
The girl was looking at him with disgust. With her brows knitted each other.
He sighed and thought. 'Just you wait when I learn an awesome spell girl. I will make you my plaything!' Although he thought about it, it was only out of frustration and half serious half joking only.
In any case, he didn't even know if he was able to survive in this battle.
Many of the monster group were killed on the spot. But their number seemed to be increasing as more of them were still coming out from Sitona Town and rushed towards their location.
The range-soldiers continued their attacks. And the monster died one after another. Yet, they continued to advance like it was nothing to them.
When they reached a certain distance. Some of the rats were finally able to fire back. Some of them even could use a spell.
Multiple stones flew in the air and were fired towards the soldiers. The shield users immediately alerted themselves as they blocked the incoming rain of stones.
Yeman also noticed that rats were shielding their spell users. Looks like they were capable of thinking as a human did. He was stunned by the thought.
The battle becomes blocking and throwing spells on both sides.
Suddenly,
"Vanguaaaaaaaaard! Ready to dieeeeeeee!" The commander shouted.
"Attttttaaaaaaaaacccckkkk!!!"
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!
Finally, the vanguards rushed towards the enemy.
Yeman thought that this is it.

Almave
Welcome to AlmaVé. First thing you have to know is that it's a tragedy. Nope, not talking about my book yet. It's a tragedy that you're reading this instead of clicking on chapter 1. I did fail speech introductions after all. My story? Right that's what you're here for. My bad, try this: Lilia Hammond is reborn (cliché, but we all know we enjoy it when it's done for a purpose) as Syndra Sanmey. She was a graphic designer who hadn't caught her break yet. She was paralyzed for months before she was offered the opportunity to join a program that would allow her to-NOPE! not virtual reality. The doctors killed her and dumped her body. Tough. In her new world, Lilia has to fight herself to find out who she truly is. With the possibility to cast magic and a second chance at life, Lilia thinks she can really make something for herself. Her goal? Become the greatest artist the world had ever seen. The rub? World is a bit darker than anything she saw on earth. Thankfully, Lilia is getting quite familiar with the darkness inside her and her magic might just be the thing to save the-hey! wait it's not that kind of book. No saving the world. No hero syndrome. Just magic and blood and a bit of crafting. Yup. Fighting. Romance? Eh? What's that? The first arc is Lilia's shift from Earth to creating backstories for the three major characters. It's not funny and light. It's often dark and funny. Ah, I really should have gone through a punk-rock phase. Or goth. Would I look good with black hair? Hmm.. There are three MCs and they are Jackson, Daryl, and Lilia/Syndra. Daryl is currently kidnapped and Jackson just awakened his magic. I don't want to spoil (much) but soon things will be very fun to write. Hope to see you there! Leave a comment even if you're just stopping by so I can say hey! Chapters to be published twice weekly. Check tags before reading.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.

Star Wars: Downfall
This is my take on what should've happened with Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker. The story is a technical rewrite of "Revenge of the Sith", but it features Ahsoka Tano. Also this IS Anisoka shipped. Please Enjoy :)
