《The Hero Without a Past》Interlude: Lewis Manetti
Advertisement
Lewis typed the activation code into the computer.
The screen lit up with the visage of Grumman. The ultra had his mask on and was seated in a dim, dark room.
“Agni has reached Tanisport,” Lewis said.
“And?”
“She tried for Belessar at the location we found. He got away.”
“I trust you didn’t contact me just to deliver bad news.”
“She reports that he is, in fact, a Master. It seems that he demonstrated some sort of mental ability during their encounter.”
“Well. That explains much.” Grumman shook his head. “Your lie seems to be turning true, now.”
Manetti winced inwardly. “Agni reported that his powers were not what we reported. She doesn’t blame us for it, though. According to her, gathering exact information about a Master’s power is virtually impossible.”
“That is true.”
“She gave us an explanation of his powers, as best she can. He can strike out with some kind of psychic force that breaks the concentration of everyone around him.”
“That explains how he got Gravitic.”
“Also, it doesn’t require line of sight.”
Grumman went quiet for a moment. “A Master power without eye contact is incredibly rare.”
“She believes that it’s limited to breaking a foe’s concentration. It gave her quite a headache.”
“Just a headache?”
“She also mentioned a nosebleed.”
“Hmm.”
“However, she’s confident that he can only use mind control with eye contact. According to her, any mind control power which does not require eye contact would have resulted in her getting captured right then and there. His reactions are incredibly fast.”
“We’ve seen that. What about the girls?”
“She’s now convinced that he has them under his control.”
“Because he has mental powers?”

“Her exact words were that he seemed a typical militarist.”
“Well, it’s a good thing for us that she’s so anti-military. Did she suspect anything of our origins?”
“We gave our names as relatives of some of the girls. Especially Esperanza. Her uncle is willing to cooperate.”
“I won’t ask how you managed that. Good job. Any idea on the timeline?”
“Agni said it’ll take time. She sees him as a hard target. Especially now that the element of surprise is gone.”
“Time is short.”
“We can’t push her too hard, sir.”
“Naturally. I only mention because sooner or later, she will run across something that collapses our story. If she investigates.”
“We’re pressing her to move forward as fast as we dare. Our men are gathering what information they can and sharing it with her.”
“I trust she isn’t speaking to any of them directly.”
“No, sir. Just to me. I’ve indicated that we need to stay secret….”
“Get me results, Lewis. If you do this right, I won’t forget it.”

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1

Those Zombies Again
One day Sam wakes up in a world full of zombies and tries to survive.PSFirst of all i would not recommend this novel if you haven't read like hundred of novels already. Its pretty weird and depressing novel.This story is told almost completely from MC point of view. Third person.MC is a pretty ugly random guy with different psychological problems. He is antisocial and limited person.Lore - Since MC is limited and barely interested in people or just surroundings, you will get pretty limited descriptions on stuff, it was meant to be like that.Characters - Obviously for the same reason, you will not see much characters, usually you wont get their description or even names.Fights - I personally hate those fights in novels which take like few chapters to describe some shitty encounters. For example MC is making his "move" and then you get half chapter of description of his thoughts and the ways his face is looking, and the way like his opponent surprised and the way crowd is reacting and so on. I really hate all that shit so fights in this novel will be described not that often, only if an equal or a new opponent, and only in a strict and straightforward way, no bullshit.Now this novel is not exactly fantasy, its more like grim realistic-fantasy.But i will have to explain what i mean. Lets take rape in most novels as an example. Usually MC will be justified to rape a girl one way or another. Common example is aphrodisiac. Or the girl were trying to kill him so he had to "punish" her. Or she just happened to jump on his thing and then after rape she become his girlfriend etc, Those are examples of "fan service" in novel. So MC would be justified and readers woun't feel too uncomfortable to read something like that.So there is no "fan service" in this novel, like at all. You will have to read some stuff that will make you feel uncomfortable and you woun't like it.Common sense also means that there is barely gonna be any "random" events which MC is gonna be part of. No treasures and superpowers he founds because he is "special". He will not meet antagonists on his way.This novels world will not spin around MC in any way. He will usually sit in his deep cave and no one around will give a damn about him or even know of his existence.So this novel is not for you to have fun and enjoy reading. Not to make you feel comfortable, satisfied or happy.Its probably the opposite.There are some standards which novel usually sticks to in order to become popular. Obviously i did not meet those standards at all.
