《War of the gods [Forum game]》Chapter 5. Archenemy of humankind!
Advertisement
In the beginning each spirit whispered its own command simultaneously, but later majority of them banded together and their whisper became strong enough to be heard.
[Ask the old man to tell you more about the mutants and their deity Vahrun! I want to know who this archenemy is!]
Nameless realized that he needed to know more information about the mutants and especially about Vahrun, their deity. It could be useful in the future.
Now it was even more important than scheming against the voices.
“Old man, could you tell me more about Vahrun and the mutants?” Nameless interrupted the monk who was telling him a story about natus_vincat's greatness.
Who does care about that god and his puny deeds if you can get information about Vahrun?!
For the man a choice was obvious now.
“Vahrun and the mutants, you say?” the old man grumbled.
It seems he didn't like to be interrupted.
Currently both men walked along the road, coming closer to the temple. Nameless thanked and gave back a small water bag – which was made of the animal skin - to the monk. Finally, I've quenched my thirst!
“This sacred place isn't a right place to speak about that despicable deity and his followers... but okay. I see that you are not from our lands. Thus you need to know the truth about the archenemy of humankind.
Vahrun is the greatest blasphemer. His infamous speech in Tumeba had revealed his corrupted nature. Since that time Vahrun began to corrupt humankind. He has brought pain, suffer, and tears to our world. The mutants deny our Lord's greatness. They doubt our Lord's handsomeness! Those blasphemers even laugh at our Lord's smartness! You see, nothing can save them! Nothing, I say you! Only a complete extermination! Only a holy purification can bring justice and peace to the mutants' lands!”

The monk paused to calm down. “The mutants' souls can't be saved anymore. We had lost them centuries ago. Now they serve Vahrun happily. He even sends those abominations to raid our lands! The archenemy wants to corrupt more innocent souls and turn them into mutants! Stranger, have you ever seen a mutant?!”
Nameless shook his head.
“They are ugly monsters. Majority of them have animal heads. The lesser part have animal limbs and tails, as well as other minor mutant attributes. Now do you see why we need to exterminate those abominations?! They aren't humans anymore. Just a parody! But the worst part is that they state that Vahrun is more handsome than natus-vincat! Not only more handsome but also greater and smarter! This is a great blasphemy!”
The old man continued to tell about Vahrun's and the mutants' crimes eagerly while they walked. Soon both men had reached the temple's gate.
Suddenly Nameless thought. Why do I listen to this nonsense?!
But he knew why. Again those damn voices!
He looked up. Stop doing this! I'm not your plaything!
They passed through the gate and entered the temple. Immediately Nameless noticed that on the walls were written numerous words in golden paint. These words were large enough that a visitor could read them.
Quickly Nameless realized that on the walls were written only three words that repeated many times. “Great”, “Handsome”, and “Smart”.
The man looked up and saw a gigantic name on the ceiling: “natus_vincat”. A name of their god.
This name didn't have any copies. It was just a gigantic name on the ceiling.
“Isn't it beautiful..?” the old monk smiled, staring at the ceiling. “Do you know why the first letter of the name of our god isn't written in a capital letter?”

“I don't.”
“That's because our Lord is humble. He doesn't want to emphasize his greatness.”
Nameless was stunned. WTF?! He stared at the old monk. Do you call him humble?!
“Please, wait here, stranger. I will go to cut my beard off,” The old man left.
Nameless looked around. The temple wasn't empty. He could see several monks at least. Besides, the human noticed a small group of people who prayed in front of a stone pedestal on which a flask stood. They don't look like monks... Oh no! I hear those damn voices again!
[Stay still! I don't want you to get in trouble again!]
[Go and find that old man! What if he fooled you?! He can run away with your precious beard! You can't allow it to happen! Hurry up!]
[Speak with any monk. Ask about the words on the walls. Do they have any meaning?]
[What a beautiful temple! Thus prostrate! Show your utmost respect to natus_vincat! Show that you are a true believer! Perhaps, the monks will give you something useful!]
[Go to the flask! Observe it and ask any monk to tell you about this flask politely!]
[Go to the flask! It looks valuable! Let's make it yours! Your pocket is the most appropriate place for the flask! Don't worry! You always can run away!]
[Speak with those praying people. I'm curious why they're praying to that flask? Perhaps, it contains a super power? Maybe you need to hurry up and drink what's in the flask?]
[Find a person who's in charge here! He/she must know or has something interesting!]

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler. (And for the best reading experience I recomend altering your width setting to about 70 or 80 percent on desktop.) Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete. I'll update this figure over time and begin posting again after I finish it and go through several rounds of editing.
