《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
Both me and Rumi were making our way to the nearest place where I could feel life signs. We talked about several other things related to our likes and dislikes stuff like that. This has almost like a impromptu date with Rumi.
I suddenly stopped walking when I felt a life sigh of a kid. It must be Eri, I don't think that there should be another kid in here or I would have sensed earlier. Now, how the hell did I miss her? Her body is still so small so it is possible that I was unable to differentiate her iron content from the adults around her.
"What happened? Why are we stopping here?" Rumi asked me impatiently seeing me suddenly stop.
"I found the head honcho" I said to her and a feral grin on her face. Sometimes I wonder how the hell a rabbit can be so bloodthirsty??
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's head there" Rumi said, her voice was completely filled with excitement.
I also wanted to get this over with as soon as possible so I sensed all the adults around her and found 5 adults around Eri, but one of them wasn't exactly an adult so it must be Mirio, he must have found Overhaul and chased him.
"Ok, let me make the way" I was always carrying iron sand, they were morphed iron lances. Lightning thundered around my body, I again checked that no one else was directly in the way, I don't want to hurt any friendlies. After confirming that it was completely clear I launched the iron lances towards the place where I had located Eri, Mirio, Overhaul and his cronies.
They were quite far away from me almost at the other side of this labyrinth. So I needed to make the railgun very powerful. The railgun was powerful that it ripped apart the whole labyrinth like a hot knife would cut through butter. In the next moment the whole labyrinth was split open by me, the whole was place was split open like tin can.
"Wow!! That is really scary" Rumi saw the destruction I caused in just a moment and complimented my move. I know she isn't sacred, this made her more excited.
"Glad you liked, now let's go" I said and grabbed Rumi by her waist and flew through the path I just made. Rumi didn't resist and snaked her arm around me hand and held me tightly.
[With Ryuko Squad]
As soon as they were separated from the rest of the group because of the warping of the labyrinth they have been continuously fighting.
As soon as they were transported here the four of them found themselves surrounded by low level villians with Quirks and all of them were carrying Triggers. So even if they weren't strong like usual villians the Triggers were turning the tide.

Ryuko was already in her dragon form and was taking down villians left and right but their numbers don't seem to be decreasing.
Nejire Chan was also using her to take down the villians but she was also having some problems due to the huge numbers of the thugs. Some villians have started to get up and they were again joining the fight, due to the numbers they were unable to restrain all the villians they were taking down.
Momo was fighting with all she had, she made cannons and kept firing them at the directions of the villians, she could have easily crippled them if she used enough force to break their bones or blow apart limbs but she didn't have a strong mind like Reo's. So she ended up using brittle cannon projectiles that would only hurt these villians and not cripple them.
While Momo was doing this, a mental conflict was going in her mind. She wasn't naive like others because of Reo's presence in her life. One part of her was saying that Reo would be disappointed at her and other part was telling her not to use excessive force and cripple them.
Some would say that she was naive but this was the first time she found herself in this situation. Other times she was always by Reo's side. For anyone doing something like this for the first time would always be conflicting.
Uravity was the one who was struggling the most. Her Quirk was completely useless here. Even though she was using debris to fly at the villians but she still needed skin contact to make something fly.
Suddenly their adjacent room was blown apart by a blue lightning bolt making it's way through. Most of the villians were completely blown away because of the force lightning bolt carried with it.
"What the hell was that?!!" Ryuko screamed in worry and fear. Her dragons instincts were scared of thing... whatever it was. She knew that if she had been in the way she would also be ripped apart.
"That was Reo's Railgun" Momo said and the other three gulped.
Ryuko, Nejire Chan, and Uravity have already seen how brutal Reo was on the villians, and it was most likely Reo used on some villian. It would be highly unlikely that they would even find a trace of that villian.
But they had much more important things to do now, the uninjured villians were already ready to fight. Just at this moment they saw Reo and Mirko flying through the newly formed path.
Seeing the Ryuko squad was still surrounded by 9 villians, Reo and Mirko stopped the flight.
"Rumi, you care giving them a hand?" Reo asked Mirko who just shower her feral grin. That must have been the answer Reo needed because Reo let go of Mirko who immediately kicked at the nearest villian. The villian slammed on the wall because of Rumi's kick and instantly passed out.

"Rumi, follow the path after getting done here. I will go ahead" Reo said to Mirko who just nodded her head.
"Just leave a few for me!!" Mirko shouted while Reo flew away.
The villians were stuck in hard spot. On one side, it was the Rabbit Hero Mirko and on other side it was Ryuko Sqaud.
[With Fat Gum Squad]
They got separated from the others when the labyrinth was warped. Suneater wasn't with them anymore and Eraser Head, Rock Lock have tagged along with them when the labyrinth morphed.
"What happened?" Fat Gum asked looking confused.
"We have been transported to other parts of the labyrinth" Eraser Head said calmly after analyzing the situation.
"So, what now? We need to find the others" Red Riot said and three pro-heroes nodded their heads in agreement.
"Rock Lock, can you use your powers to stop from this happening again?" Eraser Head asked.
"I don't know... if I could it would be too tiring for me. I want to keep that mover for later as a last ditch effort" Rock Lock replied to Eraser Head.
"Then, it is the only was it seems" Fat Gum said and the group of four started to walk down the corridor cautiously. All four of them walked for a few minutes and came to a half destroyed room, one of the walls of the room was ripped apart and two figures were laying on the floor.
"Who could have done this?!" Rock Lock exclaimed seeing the condition of two people laying on the floor. One of them was beaten to a pulp and the other one had been wrapped around by metal rods.
"This was done by Mirko and this has written Reo's name written all over it" Eraser Head said while pointing first at Kendo Rappa and next on Hejiki Tengai.
"Only Reo would break someone hands and then bind them with metal" Red Riot confirmed what Eraser Head said.
"Then, we should follow this way. We might find both of them" Fat Gum said and they continued walking down the same path. Rock Lock was slightly disturbed by how Reo took down the villians but Fat Gum didn't care. Eraser Head have already seen it before so he was quite used to it. Red Riot has already seen it before, even though he himself won't do it but he didn't mind.
After walking a few minutes they reacheda completely destroyedroom and found Suneater leaning on a wall while three villians were laying on the floor completely restrained by iron rods.
Before they could even speak something, the whole labyrinth shook like crazy along with rumbling sound. They just hoped that everyone would be fine and started to help Suneater.
[With Lemillion]
After the labyrinth was warped Lemillion, Deku, Centipeder, Bubble Girl, Sir Nighteye found themselves surrounded by common thugs equipped by Quirk Erasing bullets.
It was slightly hard for them but they were able to defeat and restrain all of them. They kept making their way forward through the labyrinth and fthe group finally located Overhaul and his group of cronies taking Eri somewhere.
Sir Nighteye's group started to chase Overhaul and his group but suddenly the labyrinth started to warp. Seeing this everyone slowed slightly but Lemillion didn't. He continued the chase and was able to follow them through while the labyrinth was getting warping.
Lemillion came on the other sidn and was shot ny several Quirk Erasing Bullets but Lemillion was able to dodge all of them. Cronostatis was holding Eri's hand. Everyone was surprised how easily Lemillion was able to dodge the attacks.
"Don't worry Eri, I will save you" Lemillion said like a cliche hero and immediately rushed to the villians. He reached Cronosatis and kicked at him while phasing through Shin Nemoto.
Cronosatis was unable to dodge and was hit by Lemillion. Lemillion used this chance and wrapped Eri in his cape and jumped away from the ground. Now that Eri was saved Lemillion thought of escaping.
"There is no escape, I have sealed the whole building. So, if you give back Eri, I will let you go" Overhaul spouted like any other cliche villian.
"That ain't happening. As long as I am alive I won't let anyone hurt her ever again!!" Lemillion said this with full determination. Eri started to cry hearing this. She was just a little girl who never found happiness and she was really happy that she finally found a hero.
"Fine... Crono, shoot him" Overhaul ordered Cronostatis to shoot Lemillion with Quirk Erasing Bullets. But before anyone could do anything else, the room was ripped apart by a blue streak. Lemillion covered Eri with his own body protecting Eri.
The 5 villians have also dropped on the ground to avoid the debris. After the dust cleared all of them looked upwards and saw the the whole base was ripped open like a tin can. After a few seconds a silhouette came floating through the newly made path.
"I should have expected seeing you here Dabi... last time you were really lucky" The dust finally cleared completely and the saw Itsuki Reo dressed in his hero costume...

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
