The gourmet's live stream happened to capture the whole incident. Someone on the Internet turned the final minute of the gourmet's life into a clip, which spread rapidly among the people. In less than an hour, the whole of Europe knew Athens was being attacked by a Silver Moon Tyrant Titan!
There were many kinds of demon creatures in the wild, some with massive builds and bodies, while some were so ghastly that they could easily leave someone with recurring nightmares. Because of that, many countries forbade their people from spreading clips or images of demon creatures on the Internet. Many bold people who were not Mages could only satisfy their imaginations with information about Summoned Beasts that was made available to them.
Unfortunately, the dead gourmet had quite a following, and thousands of people had seen the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's true appearance during the live stream. Even though Tyrant Titans would occasionally roam along the outskirts of Athens, they never came within three kilometers of the safe zone. Most people only saw their distant silhouettes, and have never seen anything like the massive creature in the live stream.
The streets involved were at the foot of the mountains. The gentle slopes around Athens were like natural barriers, but a head with bloodshot eyes and a menacing look in them had suddenly risen from them. The visual impact was shocking even to a Mage, let alone the common folk.
The news spread wildly on the Internet. Many people were wondering how many casualties were caused by the attack. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan could easily raze a whole district to the ground within a few minutes, seeing how huge it was!

"Damn it, those assh**** of the Hall of Knights. If they had come any later, I might be dead already! That Silver Moon Tyrant Titan is crazy strong. It broke through all my defenses with a single punch! I flew across a few streets and slammed hard into an office building. Luckily, it was after office hours, or I could have killed a few pretty white-collar ladies.
"It's too scary. Why didn't you tell me how strong the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan was beforehand? I'm only a petty Advanced Mage. Can't you stop torturing me for once!?" Zhao Manyan almost broke into tears.
"It's fine, don't worry, you are now in Athens, your broken left hand, right shoulder, ribs, back, dislocated jaw, crushed palm, and fractured knees aren't really a great deal for the Healers in the Parthenon Temple!" Mo Fan comforted Zhao Manyan, who was currently lying on a white stretcher.

If Zhao Manyan had not been injured, he would immediately have bounced to his feet and fought Mo Fan with his life.
"It was lucky Zhao Manyan was around when it happened. He managed to protect the people on the streets from the boulder in time!" Brianca said.
"Look at you, you are perfectly fine… Apas, let him have a nice dream. It's nothing serious really, just some minor injuries," Mo Fan said.
"Err... we did a thorough checkup on him. His inner organs are bleeding, with different degrees of damage. We can only treat his bones, we don't dare treat his organs," the Healer from the hospital said.
Zhao Manyan's eyes widened. He was about to lose his mind.
"Apas, what are you waiting for? Hurry up!" Mo Fan blurted out.
Apas was standing between Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan. Her eyes suddenly turned golden, as dazzling as the sunrise. Zhao Manyan's wild expression quickly calmed down. A few seconds later, he was sound asleep on the stretcher.
"Nurse, can you arrange someone to bring him to the Parthenon Temple?" Mo Fan said.
"The Parthenon Temple isn't a place you can just visit as you wish!" the Healer Mo Fan had called a nurse grunted.
"I'll ask Knight Dravo to pick him up," Leng Qing said.
"How did he end up like this?" Mo Fan could not help but ask.
Mu Bai, who was not really injured, chuckled and said, "He's a pretty noble guy, despite his annoying mouth. We had already prepared our retreat. The boulder didn't really hit anyone, including the gourmet that was in the middle of his broadcast, who Heidi saved. The live broadcast was only interrupted after his equipment was messed up by the Space Magic. He wasn't killed by the boulder like the people on the Internet claimed! When we were about to leave, Heidi heard a little kid was playing hide-and-seek nearby. His friends had all run for their lives, yet he was hiding without making any noise. We thought the kid wouldn't make it, but Zhao Manyan stepped forward bravely, and so he ended up like this."
"Mm, even Miss Brianca was knocked flying by the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan. If a Silver Moon Knight hadn't arrived in time, Zhao Manyan would most likely be dead now… it was such a close call, the kid was basically right under the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's foot," Heidi agreed. She also had a different impression of Zhao Manyan after what happened.

"Impressive, well done," Mo Fan nodded. He turned to Apas and asked, "Err, Apas, is it too late to alter the dream? We should have given him a nice dream."
Heidi, Mu Bai, Brianca, and Leng Qing were left speechless.
------
Despite the rumors that had spread rapidly on the Internet, the government soon clarified the situation, putting an end to the farce. However, unlike the Tyrant Titans the city had fended off in the past, this Silver Moon Tyrant Titan was quite determined to bring the city down with it. It showed no sign of retreating even after the people from the Hall of Knights showed up.
When Mo Fan headed to the west of the city, he saw the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan throwing a tantrum in the deserted streets. A few Silver Moon Knights were flying in the sky, and a few squads of Blue Star Knights were on standby on the ground. A Golden Sun Knight was standing on a tall telecommunication tower while the junior knights were establishing magic formations. A Lightning Punishment Formation had trapped the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan like a purple cage. The light of different Elements flickered across the dark streets, forming an Elemental storm whipping the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan fiercely.
The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan cried out loudly. The entire city could hear it, yet the creature did not back away, despite facing the concentrated attacks.
It recklessly smashed through the Lightning Punishment Formation and charged at the Golden Sun Knight who was giving orders.
It took the Golden Sun Knight by surprise, and he quickly cast a Super Wind Spell in a panic.
The Thousand Leaves Saber spell swept across the sky like blue scythes. The wind razors landed on the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan, giving rise to many metallic clanking sounds!
The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's skin was sturdier than steel. The Wind Spell did not inflict any damage on it. It suddenly threw a punch forward with all its might!
The punch produced a strong wind, sweeping at the Golden Sun Knight with ominous power and shattering the Thousand Leaves Saber. The Wind Spell did not stand a chance at all!
The blast sent the Golden Sun Knight flying. The loud rumble echoed throughout the city.
The people in Athens stared at the trembling night sky...
Athens had always been safe. The people would normally enjoy their peaceful lives even when a battle broke out in the city's west, but the strong wind produced by that punch had interrupted their routines. However, the disturbance did not last for long. The people simply asked what was going on before continuing on with their lives, knowing that the Hall of Knights was already on the move. It was like a stone thrown into a lake. The ripples it stirred up soon dissipated.
"It could have killed the Golden Sun Knight with the punch, but it was off target slightly," Mo Fan said after witnessing everything.
"It wasn't off target, it was aiming it at the city!" Apas corrected him.
"Was it trying to..." Mo Fan looked behind him.
The Parthenon Temple was located in Athens. Even if anything happened, only the districts along the outskirts would be in danger. It was unlikely any danger would befall the city's heart. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan was trying to make its way toward the city's center, even though it knew it had no chance of breaking through the line of defense set up by the knights.
Even without Apas' analysis, Mo Fan could easily sense the Silver Moon Tyrant Titan's anger and despair. It was like a middle-aged man who had lost his only kin, spurred into doing something crazy after behaving calmly for a few days.
The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan could have run away, but it chose not to. Its blood was pouring out like a stream, but it was still heading for the center of the city. Spells were blasting it like cannons, yet they did not stop it from moving its feet...
Strong winds produced by the impacts swept in all directions continuously. Mo Fan and Apas were standing on the top of a building. The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan was very close to him, but it did not pay attention to the people that were not blocking its path. Mo Fan watched the creature stride past him...
The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan suddenly turned around and stared at the two tiny figures on the top of the building; they were not sure which of them caught its attention.
"All unauthorized personnel are to leave at once!" a Silver Moon Knight yelled at them
Mo Fan and Apas did not move, not planning to leave.
The Silver Moon Tyrant Titan stared at Apas and Mo Fan. Its eyes were too big, and filled with blood-red lines; it was difficult to tell who they were focusing on!

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future
(Author's Note: If you're wondering about the views, it's +1.8 million more on Webnovel, its original home. Updated daily starting Dec. 26, 2018, and continued with Book Three.) Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage made up a video game to train some people on the planet Earth for the catastrophe he knew was coming. That game was the Power of Ten. The gods seized this opportunity to take the templates of some of those characters, and even their souls, for use in other worlds, and other realms. Sama Rantha is one of those characters, and is going to find out that being a Hagchild and having to survive after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your Race at level One on a gamescreen. Join Sama Rantha on her Road to Ten, and letting her Hagmother know exactly what she thinks of her... ------ Warning: This book starts with a HARD OPEN! It was written as an extension of other stories that have not made it onto the Internet yet for National Novel Writing Month in Nov/2018. Book One/Sama Rantha: A traditionalist LitRPG in the fantasy world vein. The beginning chapters will be heavy with gaming terms and the supporting math as Sama exploits the rules as much as possible, minmaxing her heart out to get one up on the world trying to kill her. The math and rules lawyering tapers off, but are never eliminated, as Sama is going to do everything she can to exploit the rules of reality here and not die, while making sure those responsible for this get exactly what is coming to them... ------ Book Two, The Far Future (starting Ch. 286): The Warp, the final frontier; in the grim darkness of a galaxy far far away, there came a hagchild...QX! Sci-fi/Fantasy/psionics mashup, grimbright clashing with grimdark! Sama is sent into a setting she'd rather not be in, but the heart of a powergamer never says no, even in the crapsack galaxy of the Tellurian Empire. BOOK TWO IS COMPLETE WITH 357 CHAPTERS AS OF 9/2020. ----------- Book Three (updating daily): The Human Race (next Book!) - Urban Fantasy world. Three Power of Ten gamers come together in a world under the Shroud of the Cancer of Death. Whatever might happen when they do, and what might they find there? Book Three is complete with 500 chapters: right here. Book Four: Power of Ten is dumped into the Marvel Universe. Surely there'll be no changes to canon when that happens?

NPC
Erin longed for adventure, Maya new better. Erin wanted to be a Hero, Maya would never trust them. Maya also knew a simple truth; Erin could never be a Hero. She had two sharp horns poking from her hair. A cheerful smile with cute fangs that sparkled just so in the light. And lived in a world that would not smile in return. So, Maya smiled and hugged Erin when she spoke of her dreams with such boundless enthusiasm. They were best friends, and best friends did not shatter each other’s dreams. Heroes have arrived in Cairn village, one of which is Aiden; a 20-year-old-runaway who's just excited to play a super awesome VRMMORPG and maybe rekindle the eternal war without thinking... I added the tramtising tag since the whole demon lord thing isn't entirely moral and I guess that's what that tag means, better safe than sorry I guess. This is a rewrite and I still do small edits on earlier chapters for grammar and style every now and then so let me know any critiques you have or even if you just think something is stupid. The whole point of writing this is so I can improve while (hopefully) entertaining some people. My update schedule can be erratic but I will finish this eventually. Eventually being in a few years... I decided to take a break from this while I finish a separate project sorry about that. There are also puppy pictures...you have been warned.

Mind your Manors, please.
In a land of crimson and darkness, a lone door stood in a valley of fiery petals. Within was a golden mansion, home to the Count and his seven guests. When a lone child wandered into a manor of ruin and ancient evil, what horrors awaited the poor and innocent soul? Nemo didn’t know the answer to that question, but she sure as heck wanted to find out. A new world meant adventure, and adventure meant discovery, and discovery meant fun! Well, that was supposed to be the plan, but the Count was too busy trying to fix the manor to go with her. So she would help him, that was what friends were for, right? This ultimate housemaid would stop at nothing until the job was done. It didn’t matter if the manor lay ruined for many years, it didn’t matter if all the guests could bring about the end of the world, it doubly didn’t matter that Nemo was a low-level scrub, whatever that meant. She would level up, get better at fixing things, and nothing would stop her from having the Count take her on an adventure!

The Records of Eternity: The Traveller of Worlds
There probably won't be anything much for Traveller for the next while as I honestly don't have much of an idea of what the hell I plan on doing. While I wait for another spark of genius for this I want to get out some chapters for my other works, which I do have an idea of where I want to go. So instead of stressing myself out over this bottleneck, I will be focusing on other stories until I breakthrough. The Traveller of Worlds is a tale that tells the adventure of the young Saxon girl Millie Von Augustine, though she has another name. Millie is the eldest child of the Augustine family, a noble family in the Kingdom of Saxony. Although being a woman she was barred from succeeding her father as head of the family. In addition, she has been treated rather poorly by most of her family due to her tomboyish personality. But one day as a youth, she met someone in the woods behind her house, and this encounter would forever change her fate. Moving this to have a new chapter at a minimum of every three weeks as I have started another project full time. The cover artwork was made by Nez Illust, check their page for more their stuff. You can find more information on the universe of The Records of Eternity at https://recordsofeternity.wordpress.com/ I will also be posting any updates on how things will proceed and random other thoughts pertaining to the series on my website.
