《A Mutant’s Ascension》A Mutant's Ascension
Advertisement
A/N: Yesterday I asked if you guys if you wanted to read a read a side-story with a different MC or not and I am really surprised with how vehemently denied to have something like that.
So, please bear with me if the quality of my writing somewhat drops... Currently, I am really bored with the plot.
Well, enough of that, let's start the chapter...
---------------------------------------------
[POV Reo]
"For how long can you use this Power?" Momo asked me curiously.
"Thats depends on the area I want to be affected by my Powers. If I use my powers at maximum range then I could use it for a couple of days without stop" I said with a thoughtful look on face.
The Time around was still frozen while the four of us could easily move and play around. "You said you could reverse time, right?" Fleur asked and splashed water with her leg.
"Yeah" I said and another green ring appeared on my hand and I rotated my hand. The water Fleur had splashed returned to its original place like it have been before.
"What are the limits of this Power?" this time it was Flavia who asked me with a curious look on her face.
"Depends on what I am using my power on... Just now, I used my power on the splashed water... I can go on doing something like that for months without a break but say if I had to bring back a person from the dead then I would have to spend a lot more energy" I said while green rings were continuously forming on my hand.
"What is the maximum output?" Momo asked me, looks like she is back in scientist mode if the gleam in her eyes meant something.
Hmm... Let me think about this... With my current Powel Level I will only be able to surround this whole Solar System, just like I had said before but rewinding the Time of the whole Solar System would be really tiring but I think I would be able rewind it for about 4 days before getting completely spent.
"I think I could reverse the Time of our whole Solar System for about two days without stopping" I said after decreasing two days from my calculation. It's not that I didn't trust them... I trusted them with my life but some things should be kept secret so that you can have a trump card and Flavia is still here.
She might be the one to bring me the Time Stone, she might be a good person but I don't trust her completely. I might sound like a paranoid bastard... But like I had said before, for the safety of me and my girls I am happy being paranoid bastard... It's much better than being a stupid bastard.

No matter how Flavia looks... She is really strong. I am not saying that she would do something but she could always try something. Yeah... I think I need to calm down or I might turn into Fury. I shuddered as soon as the thought appeared inside my mind. That was a really disturbing thought... Must have been Nargles.
"Hey! Are you alright? You look somewhat pale" Fleur asked me in a worried tone and I simply shrugged.
"Thanks for asking Fleur but I am completely fine" I said and gave her a reassuring smile.
"Reo... Can you return everything to normal? I don't want to impose on you guys any longer" Flavia asked and simply nodded my head but before I could do anything Momo decided to butt in the conversation.
"Rubbish... You aren't imposing on us. Why don't you take a break and relax here with us" Momo asked Flavia looking really hopeful. Flavia's eyes turned towards me and I simply shrugged signifying that she was free to decide whatever she wanted.
I didn't mind her staying here with us. After all, we aren't doing anything naughty and we were simply relaxing under the sun. After a couple of minutes Flavia finally agreed to stay here and relax but before she could do that, she needed to return to Kamar-Taj so that she could inform someone about her absence.
So, I had to return the Time to normal... Everything around us turned back to normal... Our yacht once again started to move because of the ocean waves. Flavia left after making a portal saying that she would return in a couple of minutes.
I wonder if the other girls noticed the change or not... Nemuri and Jean might have noticed it. Jean is self explanatory... She has a Cosmic Entity stuffed inside her gut and since Fleur was able to notice it, I am pretty sure that the Phoenix would be able to notice it.
Nemuri might have noticed it because she is the one who is most sensitive to magical energies among the girls and her powers got a huge boost after she was exposed to the Cosmic Clouds and she got her bloodline powers kick-started.
Rumi might have felt it too... After all, her instincts are monstrous. Yes, it's possible that she didn't notice anything since we are taking about the Infinity Stones here but the chances of something like that would be very low. She must have noticed something even if she didn't know what happened...

I wonder what she is doing now... From what I remember she said that they had some meeting with a group of Inhumans... Hmm... Let's see how the meeting progresses. If Jiaying tries something... then I might have to pay a visit to Afterlife and exterminate them...
[POV Rumi]
The meeting finally started after usual bullshit like greetings and ass kissing.
Finally, Jiaying asked if she could talk with the Inhumans. Since we had already agreed about this beforehand, we called the group of Inhumans we had on Elysium. They were somewhat uncomfortable with this but they still decided to talk with Jiaying.
At first, Jiaying asked them how they were being treated and stuff like that. All of a sudden I felt something but nothing happened... I immediately looked around but there was nothing. I am pretty sure that I felt something... I have no idea what it was but it was completely gone now.
My eyes narrowed on Jiaying but I knew that no one from Jiaying's group could do something like this. I don't know what it was but it felt felt really strong... And from really strong I mean Reo like strong or it might have been slightly stronger than Reo.
It could have been a Cosmic Entity... I need to tell Reo about this as soon as the meeting ends. Jiaying finally told them that they had to return to Afterlife, after all it was their home. The group Inhumans from Elysium obviously disagreed telling her that they were happy here and they didn't have look over their shoulders all the time just because they were different.
Jiaying finally understood that they wouldn't agree with her willingly. Jiaying gave a subtle signal to a guard she had brought with her and that is when it started. The guard she had brought with her started to use some kind of mental powers.
"The guard on the right side is using some kind of mental power" I said into the microphone and Eric gave a subtle nod after hearing me.
Jiaying asked them if they wanted to go back with her to Afterlife once again and surprisingly this time they did agree. A huge grin appeared on Jiayimg's face and she turned towards Eric... Eric didn't bother with it and gave me signal to engage...
Without making a sound I Flash Stepped into the meeting room and my hand wrapped around the throat of the guard on the right side. The guard wanted to fight back but my grip tightened around his throat. This made him flail helplessly and this finally got the attention of Jiaying and the other guard in the room.
"What is the meaning of this??!!" Jiaying screamed in anger and other guard shot some kind of wave from his hands in my direction. I didn't even bother to guard against them because I knew that those waves won't be able to harm me, even though I didn't know what those wave did.
The waves finally collided with my body and I felt the waves trying to push me back. So... That is what the waves did?? They would just push you away?? Jiaying really must have underestimated us and she had only brought these weaklings with her.
"I also want to know what is the meaning of this, Jiaying?? After all, it was your guard who started to use his power and broke the neutral agreement" Eric asked Jiaying while he leaned on the table in front of him.
"Will you stop using your power... It's simply annoying" I said with an annoyed look on my face but the guard didn't stop using his powers. I waited for a few seconds and when I saw that he was still using his power, I decided to change my approach.
"If you don't stop using your power then I will snap his neck like a twig" I said and the threat worked like a charm and the other guard finally stopped using his powers. Jiaying was still silent... Looking really adamant not wanting to say anything.
"Jiaying... It would be really good for you and your people of you cooperated with us..." Eric asked sweetly but Jiaying remained silent. I immediately noticed that Jiaying was subtly trying to pull something out. It wasn't a gun or Eric would have noticed it.
Jiaying pulled out a small button from her pocket... I must have some kind of beacon or distress signal. I didn't say anything to Eric and allowed Jiaying to use the button... I wanted to see what has she prepared. The next second, I felt...
("Please play with me" Cliff-kun asked cutely while making puppy dog eyes)

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Demons Don't Lie
Algier, average human and recent convict, has committed the gravest sin of all: demon slaying. His fate? To participate in the Culling, a battle-royale style tournament that’s televised live to the world, where all the worst criminals go to die. As with all tournaments, a prize is on the line. If Algier survives, he can have any wish granted by the Marquises, the new rulers of Earth following the demons’ invasion. However, there’s little hope for survival in a tournament designed to have demons do the work of the executioner, especially for a human. Demons are stronger, faster, wiser, and more talented than the average human, and, despite his crime, Algier is no demon hunter. Mentally defeated before the tournament even begins, Algier is torn between becoming another demon’s points and fighting on in his dead mother’s legacy. But should he choose to fight, there is one advantage that Algier has that can tip the odds in his favour: Demons don’t lie, but humans can. How to read this story Demons Don't Lie is written from the perspective of an unreliable (lying) narrator. There are many inconsistencies within the story which are placed there intentionally. It's up to the reader to decide what is the truth and what is the lie. Promotion Full quality cover image
