《Prophesy of the Elven King》Ch. 28 I've Got Class?
Advertisement
Okay, I have to admit there are few things I love in life more than open world video games. Living in a world that almost a game is pretty "gawd damn awesome!!!" Spending the rest of the day slaughtering zombies and going home to sleep like a baby. I passed out that night on the mat that was my bed. Emma was all like "Awe! Look 's like he tuckered himself out real good" in a southern earth accent. She said that while the neighbors were walking by our tent. I didn't have the energy to care anymore, so I passed out.
As I slept, I dreamed of events long passed. I thrashed in my sleep because I didn't want to recall what I was seeing. Growing up I had high aspirations, and even though I had a learning disability(A.D.D), I still achieved a high level of education. As a result of my unique brain chemistry, I had a different view of the world than other people. This allowed me to be very creative and think of things many others had not once I learned to control it. As a result of the mental exercises designed to help me grasp control over my mind, I often I would seem overly analytical, but It turned my greatest weakness into a strength. What had destroyed me in my past life was my own beliefs.
I had genuinely believed that all people were good and worth saving. As you can see from what I did to that "Slaver," I don't anymore! It wasn't just what personally happened to me that broke most of my spirit I had seen the evil that existed in humankind. When I created my Green Homes charity, I appointed a secretary in charge of managing it for me. She had been super overqualified and genuinely cared about the people we were helping. She was the one I had seen raped in my last life. The man had killed her seeing-eye dog and then sexually assaulted her. That's right she was blind! Then the man walked free after the cops detained him because she couldn't bring herself to file charges after the cops slut-shamed her. I once heard a political activist say that sexism isn't real anymore, but they're wrong! It may no longer exist in a legal sense, but it does in a social. A woman who isn't what everyone else wants them to be is considered by society as either a bitch or a slut. I looked into the eyes of that monster and saw only darkness devoid of any remorse. He smiled at me as he left and I knew it wasn't the first time he'd raped someone helpless. I tried everything to get him to put away for his crimes, but nothing stuck, even my money made no difference. I couldn't believe anymore that it was a part of some greater design after what happened. I had finally run into a horrible problem in my life that I truly couldn't fix. My secretary ended up taking her own life and do you know who I blamed? Yes, some blame I gave to the bastard who defiled her but most I put on myself.

All my other morals remained the same, but after that, I felt "rotten apples have to be removed, or else it spoils all the others." It was after I saved Trevor that I realized that I could save the innocent and make sure that their lives become better. Those that don't want to be saved or are too far gone aren't worth the effort! It's like they say "God helps those who help themselves." Meaning if you don't want to be a part of a better world then I don't have the time to waste on you. I held Trevor in my arm, and I saw myself in him. Growing up I had my father, and I had money, but this child had nothing. I wouldn't let his life be ruined by statistics! That's when I decided to devote some of my life to raise him and what a life it had been.
***
I suddenly sprung up awake and covered in a cold sweat! Why had I seen everything I didn't want to remember? Didn't I normally have control of my dreams? Emma was still asleep but was thrashing herself obviously experiencing the same thing. Wondering what the cause was, I checked my status. I was greeted with several prompts that drew my interest.
All requirements met for secret class "True Elemental".
As user already has all related abilities, True Elemental class has been obtained automatically.
Level 100 exceeded and 100 selection points available!
You can now choose a class from the following!
Soul mage
Mage
Sorcerer
Wizard
Duelist
Barbarian Axeman
Blacksmith
Augmenter
Magus of Calamity
As I read the prompts before me, I realized that the dreams had something to do with Class generation. A test perhaps? Regardless it didn't matter in the end because I came out on top. A free class because I already had all its related abilities. The good news was that "True Elemental Class" boosted efficiency and power of all natural elements by 20%. That would come in handy and cost me nothing, but now I had to pick another class!

Mage, Soul Mage, and Wizard only increased the power of spells. Meaning for me they would be useless right now even though soul magic sounded pretty cool to me, but I didn't even know what that entailed much less where to get such rare spells. Duelist would help with wielding my ax's, but I'm more looking forward to enhancing my ax wielding by using my magic instead. Sorcerer allowed one to channel elements through their bodies similar to my magic but was way weaker and way less efficient. To create stronger magic casting for the sorcerer class it requires creating mana channels in one's body that match spell patterns for higher level spells. This limits the overall number of elements a person can cast and is very dangerous as any touching patterns would detonate! Barbarian Axeman was just different power strikes, and I have Grillo for blacksmithing. Heck, someone doesn't even need the blacksmithing class to Smith anyway. The last two However was something else entirely!
Augmenter was a class that improved working with all kinds of crafting and enchanting. It improved everything from blacksmithing to rune engraving. It gave a huge bonus of 50% to material enhancements and enchanting of all kinds. It also seemed to infer that once learned it would help mana saturate other materials. I wanted it soo bad! I impatiently began reading Magus of Calamity, and once again I was shaken to the core! Magus of Calamity gave an automatic bonus to all destructive magic of any kind. It increased destructive power by 50% and gave a natural spell penetration to resistant enemies. This included my true elemental magic, spells, or even runes in rare cases. I was greatly torn between the two choices. In the ended, however, I ended up choosing Magus of Calamity. I needed the spell power boost, and I could pick Augmenter when I get another class slot at level 300. Class slots are always earned after adding double the level number of the first class. So level 100 plus 200 levels to get my next class. Then at level 700, I could get my fourth. It shouldn't be too long before I reach level 300 anyway.
I saw Emma waking up and being certain she obtained a secret class as well I couldn't wait to ask what her class would be!

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
