《Curses》12. The Thirteenth seat
Advertisement
Twelve beings sit around a table with thirteen seats. They shuffle somewhat nervously. “Why isn’t he here? He had his spells copied. He killed the demon lord by himself. So why isn’t he here?”
“Is there another requirement? Did he not hit level 500?”
The group pauses for a second before one of them says, “He didn’t… how did kill the demon lord.”
“It says here that he made a 4th tier spell that replicates our immortality.”
“What kinda downside did that have for it to be tier 4, not tier 6”
“Lots, just look at, the list it keeps going on and on. Over 100 downsides for it to work at tier 4.”
“We need him to be the one to fill the last seat then. All in favor of keeping the seat for him.”
Ten agreements could be heard around the table. All turn to the last one to speak, waiting for an answer.
“I can’t in good conscience let that monster ascend to our level. Did not read what he did, he wiped out over ten hub floors with one spell! Hundred of thousands of beings have died by his actions.”
“There was no way to know what would happen with a spreading curse. It was cast on a giant tribe, not a human settlement.”
“It’s not like most of us are better, especially you.”
“That was hundreds of years ago.”
“And his never happened now.”
“Fine, my vote is yes.”

I opened my eyes and looked around only to see a screen in my face.
[CHANGE COMPLEATE]
Then I feel it. The mana around me. It was similar to how it was when I make spells. I couldn’t be happier. If this was how it was before my bloodline awakened, what would it be when it was? With the ability to manipulate mana like this, making spells would be even easier. If I was a mage this would be the best as I could have manipulated my spells as they were cast. But I’m not so it’s just for making spells.

As I sit up, Tyler looks over with worry, “What happened? You just told me not to take you till the hospital then passed out for 10 minutes.”
“When I tried to tell you about {Pestilance} it triggered something. That something copied the spells I’ve made. Then I got some rewards for giving it the spells.”
“What kinda rewards did you get?” Tyler asks, now seeing I’m fine pulls back onto the road.
“It changed my bloodline?”
“Like your family or am I missing something.”
“Have they not hit floor 46 yet?”
“From what I’ve heard they just hit floor 43.”
“That makes sense, you can awaken a power the comes from your heritage or bloodline. You can also develop a new one, separate from your family instead. Oh ya, yours is a sixth sense that warns you of danger. It was pretty strong.”
“My old one boosted my mana, but my new one makes controlling mana way easier. How long till we are at the tower?”
“About 30 minutes, why?”
“I need to test some stuff.”

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K

Rooms of the Desolate
Rooms of the Desolate is a collection of short stories designed to guide the reader through the many rooms and mysteries of the bleak and greyscale labyrinth of the Desolate. The first entry, "The Forever Tower" follows an unnamed wanderer climbing an endless, colourless tower; the only world they have ever known. As they slowly ascend alongside the masses, they consider the nature of their world and look to the corridors as temptation beckons. The second entry, "Production Line", follows an engineer in a boundless factory, who encounters a product that does not wish to bow to the overseers and makes them question their belief in the truth and duties they were made to believe. Content guidelines: Current entries do not include explicit profanity, but future entries may do so, hence the presence of that tag. Some entries do include gore and violence, though not currently to particularly extreme degrees. The Desolate is exactly that: a desolate world; as such, it is bleak, downtrodden, and may deal with mental struggles. Cover art credit: Adam Borkowski on Pexels.
