《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)

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.

The City of the Dragon Twisted
. 🐉 . The City of The Forever-Peace witnesses a pale young Buddhist Monk fighting his fearful thoughts of whether to cross the borders to Nepal and India against the death penalty. Why would that matter? In that September Autumn night of circa A.D.655, Emperor Táme’ Tie’-Zeon has been ruling an empire spanning 13,000 miles from the East to as far as the Baikal Sea in the Western Regions bordering the Middle East kingdom and the Rome Empire. Meanwhile, news has traveled that his Dharma-Son, Pan G. Monk faces an incredible Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves. The Empress Wǔl Zénder-Tan’ couldn't be careless. Why would that matter to the imperial family? Monks are just officials with equal vicarious duties and privileges. She would then spare her resourceful energy to maintain the fruitful relationship intertwining The Grand-Khan Jurchen-Warlords Clans in the North-East Desert in attempts to affirm her fate as the first and only female-Emperor, in the Medieval Ages of the Great City of the Dragon. Whereas The Abbot Master Xend'-Zeon of the Jade-Lotus Temple faces factions of religious politics. Particularly in the present, the Empress needed to manipulate the Master’s reputation to desperately seek life and/or the after-life merits. She decreed to be addressed as The Old Buddha Grand Father. The Master has had ideals of service to sentient beings since he was young. He could have traveled the Silk Road to the Far West entrance-point bypassing the five beacons as shortcuts save that he lacks the pertinent travel documents. Instead, he chose to cross the 800-mile овь-Gobi Desert that is as vast as the Baikal Sea, on foot. A route that is impossible in the history of the Buddha dharma. His heart never withers to support the mage of the red lotus that promises the Enlightenment of the Buddha-Land. Except that no one has ever endured the latitude of the heat. The pain. Alive, out of the desert sea. But he is also vulnerable to recognize the un-staticity of The Truth, The Truth itself, and the truth of seeking passion and mission for compassion in humankind. The mind and body reciting The Sūtra and The Heart, A phenomenon they knew better as if souls in chemical layers of their physique. Realizing enhanced mind training attaining controlling powers of life and death. Realizing the transformation of the unbearable pains and grievances he thought possible. . 2 . 🐉 . Meanwhile, dreams have been watching him to open The Third Eye, at The City's Amethyst-Jade Palace of the Second Emperor, Third Emperor, and Fourth Empress. Old Monks at The Nālandā Temple at the Far West Buddha Land; Householders Masters and Kings of the Jeek’-Foot Mountains of The City of the Naga-Dragon Twisted; in the Far West of The City of the Ever-Peace witness adventures of The Master. Lives at brinks of suicidal choices slaughtering ordeals. Who have inadvertently neglected the Master's karmic inflictions that would paradoxically affirm in a point of Near-Death Experiences; The Two-Profound-Reflective presented upon attaining The Deep-Active-Meditatitive Flow of Equanimity Samādhi. Eventually, The Seer Consciousness sees the Active Heart that is replete with The Latent Unconditional Love, Compassion And Empathy; that had been so close to us that we could not see it; as if one cannot see her own face. . 3 . 🐉 . Meanwhile also, the Imperial Criminal Affairs Clerk Ewen Hawk-Jean suffers too much seeking possession of desires and relief from a certain situation. Pan G., the Assistant Dharma-Translator to the Abbott Master Xend'-zeon has voluntarily or otherwise fallen into the supposed conspiracy or plain indifference. The imperial family's agenda of the Imperial Family of The Fang’-Chucks of course longs for a waist cut in halves not simply as souvenirs. Awaiting the Abbot Master is to come out from the disturbance. Incredibly transformative factors of the Mind-Transcendence-Samadhi are profoundly desired to spare the Monk Pan G. from the Post-Autumn Guillotine Execution that will chop off his waist in halves...... …But why would it matter to You?
