*10 minutes before the last chapter*
"So now that you now the ranking system and where your room is, do you have any other questions?" Tio says with her voice full of confidence that she explained everything thoroughly. Externia puts her finger on her chin and begins to think about the questions she can ask while she still has a chance.
"What rank is Frew?" Externia asks.
"He is a Rank A."
"*tsk* Why is he such a high rank compared to my D rank?" Externia asks with an annoyed voice.
"That's confidential." Tio says with a serious tone. Externia takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh. She knows that Ryan one of the most skilled Gods combat wise and can be the most charismatic one if he really wants too. Still, the fact Externia knows that Ryan is better than her annoys Externia to the core.
Externia hasn't decided when to address the elephant in the room as the elephant is in fact sitting right beside her. Black, smoky aura pours from the young girl Lilabelle as she sits there, staring off into space. Externia doesn't know if Tio has noticed it yet and has decided to not bring it up, til now.
Small Ice Crystals form at Externia's finger tips as she is wary of what will happen when she brings this up but there is no avoiding it.
"Let's not cut corners," Externia says in a cold voice. "What is Lilabelle exactly. You can't hide the fact from me that she isn't human."
Tio gives Lilabelle an angry stare and then looks back towards Externia, giving her an unconvincing smile.
"What do you mean Externia?" Tio says while laughing nervously. Externia looks back over at Lilabelle.
'The aura is completely gone, no hidden. If they think that they can trick me they are sorely mistaken!'

The room becomes 20 degrees cooler and Tio begins to have flashbacks of when she was frozen the first time. Knowing that Lilabelle had been caught and they can no longer keep this facade up, Tio begins to explain her and Lilabelle's back story but before she can Lilabelle gets up.
"You explain, I'm going to go find Frew so we can do something interesting together." Lilabelle says this with an innocent sounding voice but Tio knows the true reason why she wants to see Frew. Sad at what will most likely become of Ryan after Lilabelle is done sucking the power out of him, Tio starts her story from the first time she met Lilabelle with a depressed tone.
As Lilabelle leaves the room, she is startled to see a tall man leaning against the wall beside the door. This feeling of being startled is replaced with joy as Lilabelle recognizes it is Ryan. Black tentacles dlowly escape Lilabelle's body as she can feel herself being drawn to the enormous amount of power inside of Ryan, ripe for the taking.
As the tentacles find their way into Ryan's body, Lilabelle can feel his heavenly power seep into her small framed body. Lilabelle gets really close to Ryan and puts her body against his. She looks up into his face and looks longily at him while he sleeps.
'It's a shame that you are the Abyss Watcher's summon. You could made a good partner and husband for what is to come through the world. Too bad they took you before I could.' Lilabelle thinks to her self as she lets out a sad sigh. She had her chance to summon a godly power from another but missed it because she was taking a nap. Being one of the 20 candidates to be able to do this, Lilabelle should've looked more into when the summoning day was.

A tinge of pain goes through Lilabelle's hand as she goes to caress the face of the man in front of her, causing Lilabelle to take a step backwards. Ryan's eyes begin to flutter as he awakens from his sleep. Ryan takes a deep breath and is relieved to see a familiar face in front of him but Ryan's eyes twitch. The color of his brown irises change to a deep. shining gold and Lilabelle's true form is revealed to Ryan.
Ryan's expression goes from relieved to horrified quickly as he looks closer at Lilabelle. Lilabelle is confused by this and decides to confront him about it.
"What's wrong Ryan?"

Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.

The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
