《The Immortal Mutant Teen》Chapter 13 - The Colosseum
Advertisement
Rumors stated that Kotone had fallen in love with Acheron years ago and had finally met after being separated for so long, she proposed to him but was rejected.
Male students who have heard it, couldn't help but glare at him with ill intent as he walked the halls with the girls.
He found all this very entertaining, it will make his name spread and make things easier for him, things like the bet he had with Sakura. Though he always seems to be complaining about things being troublesome, the real him craves conflict and chaos. Soon, the core classes had ended, and it was time for clubs.
He had eaten lunch with the girls but soon separated, they had their clubs to participate in and Acheron still needed to find one to join. He started to walk aimlessly through the campus, hoping to find something interesting.
He had arrived at what the school calls The Colosseum, as he looked at it, he couldn't help but think about his time in the real Colosseum. Back when gladiator fights were at its peak in Rome, he had participated for almost 10 years before he moved on to other things.
Unlike most gladiators, who were slaves, Acheron was the only that was both a Patron and a fighter. That meant even though he owned gladiators, he also participated in these gruesome games, in which he reaped lives at his heart's content.
The Colosseum in front of him, though it did resemble the original in design, it was at least 5 times bigger and more modernized. He noticed that people had begun to head towards the Colosseum in a hurry as if there was something not to be missed. He stopped a girl as she passed by and asked her what was going on.

"There is a scheduled match for today, King of Jujitsu vs King of Thugs," the girl said "It supposed to be an intense match, the King of Stranglers is a jujitsu master, while the King Thug is a street fighter, they both have a similar number of wins and winner takes 50,000-yen home"
Acheron found this matchup interesting but before he could thank the girl, she had already left in a hurry. He headed for the entrance, paid for a ticket, and looked for a seat. He quickly found one and sat down. He thought about what the girls had told him of this place and how this place could be used for students to earn money fighting or to host events, like concerts.
To him, they brought back gladiator fights without the life and death fights and the fighters not being slaves. He thought about finding a way to join these fights since maybe some of these children could surprise him. As he was deep in thought waiting for the match to start, someone spoke to him.
"Excuse me, is that seat taken?" a girl asked.
To Acheron's surprise, it just so happened to be the girl he had stopped on his way here. He smiled at her "What a coincidence that we meet again"
The girl realized it was the boy he just met outside the Colosseum. "Sorry I left in such a hurry, but I had to see my brother's match," she said with an apologetic look on her face.
"No worries, go ahead and sit down," he said as he let her pass by him "So, who is your brother?"
"Thank you, my brother is one of the fighters, Alexandre Vuitton, King of Jujitsu," she said with a proud look on her face. "By the way, my name is Emilia Vuitton, a first-year"

"Nice to meet you, Emilia, my name is Acheron Belau" Acheron introduced himself.
She had a pensive look on her face as she heard his name "Acheron? Belau? Are you the one that seduced the Goddess of Music, had her propose to you, and then rejected her in front of a crowd of students?"
"Seduced? Sorry but I never seduced anyone, today is my first day and I had never seen her before in my life" he said to her. Acheron was wondering how this rumor was getting even more ridiculous every time he heard it.
"I also heard that you seduced Watanabe-senpai and Saegusa-senpai and that you have been doing unspeakable things to them around the school," Emilia said
Anger couldn't help but flare up a bit inside him, he swore to himself he will break the person's legs when he found out who is spreading these ridiculous rumors. He gave her a wry smile "Don't believe the rumors, they were just giving me a tour around campus, and we are just classmates"
"Is that true?" she couldn't help but say it with a little suspicion.
"Its true," he said "I just met them earlier today, I already said that today is my first day here"
She glared at him for a little while until it seemed that she finally believed his words. She looked down at the arena and noticed her brother at one of the entrances. "Look! There's my brother! The match is about to start!!" she had already forgotten the conversation she just had with Acheron and entirely focused on her brother.
Acheron looked at the fighters and could tell they were decent. He noticed something about the thug looking character and smiled. He turned to Emilia "Your brother is going to have a hard time unless he has a sure win trump card"
Emilia frowns and furrows her eyebrows at Acheron's words. With a little anger in her voice "What do you mean by that? Are you saying my brother is going to lose?"
"I'm not saying that! But what I am saying is he is to have a hard time fighting him" Acheron didn't look at her but down at the fighters. "It's a bad matchup between him and your brother"
"How can that be? That guy is a street fighter, once my brother gets him on the ground, it's over!" She exclaims, she just can't accept Acheron's words.
Acheron couldn't help but shake his head noticing she didn't believe his words, he had already analyzed both fighters with a glance at their bodies, nothing escaped his eyes. This Alexandre Vuitton, his body was made for jujitsu, a talent worthy of people's jealousy. While the other guy's body was built upon the streets, bullet holes and cut marks riddled his body, barely covered up by the tattoos he has all over his body, including his face. What interested Acheron the most was the little secret his body held and wondered if Alexandre could cope with it.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.

An earthman boy, William, was extremely interested in space travels. He got two techniques from his father, Mighty, who was a world-famous physicist studying faster-than-light space travels and his mother, Sally, who was a biology professor at Columbia University. However, he was sometimes not so confident. This meant that he would rather not believe that he was actually very powerful. Due to this, Mighty and Sally decided to boost his confidence. He set out and began his space travel, yet he came to another universe, which was surely unexpected! He had partners, including a female clone man, Ranran, whose prototype was William's physics teacher and head teacher; a fighter plane, Photon, who looked like a fighter plane in WWII; a racing car, Natalie Hurricane, who had crazy performances. The party used an energy core to travel through a black hole and a five-dimensional space when they reached that universe, but unfortunately the energy core lost all the energy. So they had to go to all checkpoints on three planets to collect all energy, because only in this way could they go back to their universe. Yet what would they encounter while they travel in this universe? Would they be able to go home?
