《My Fantasy World》Chapter 5 The seed of civilization
Advertisement
"Tools are items made with your hands, and flames can be used to cook meat and help you to scare away beasts that lurked the night."
Damon continued to explain to Auther. He had high hopes for this youth, hoping that this child could end the flow of hatred and war in the Eden Plain and create a new order for humanity.
Therefore, Damon explained very carefully and imbued him with a lot of essential knowledge about the dark ages.
Then, Damon brought him out of the Eden Plain and went to the broader world outside. Damon took him through endless forests, barren and hot deserts, high and low hills, and mysterious and terrifying swamps.
Damon took Auther through every corner of the eastern world of the Gaia Continent while telling him in detail the knowledge he can understand and must comprehend.
Damon took Auther to the seas. And then they returned to the Eden Plain. The place where civilization started.
This time is of magnitude to Auther, broadening his horizons, enriching his knowledge, and most importantly, letting him understand civilization.
When Damon brought Auther to the Eden Plain, it happened to be dawn, the moon was about to set, the sun had not yet risen, the sky and the earth were peaceful, and everything was still asleep.
Damon took Auther to the side of a river. He understood that his time with his creator was almost over. They'll be parting. His tone was one of reluctance.
"Auther, do you remember that I told you at the beginning that if humans want to enter the civilized age, harnessing fire is the core?" Damon asked, his voice more dignified than ever before.
"Remember." Auther nodded, while he gulps down a mouthful of saliva.
"Very good," Damon nodded, "Now, I will show you the might of flames."

As soon as Damon's words fell, a flash of lightning appeared out of thin air. Lightning struck the earth, striking the trees, turning them into coal. Then set off a flood of flame burning at high temperatures.
The flame that was just born from sparks. With lightning speed, it has devoured the surrounding forest. And the fire soared.
The sleeping forest urged to wake. The many beasts left their homeland in misery, and a tide of beasts soon formed, desperately leaving this burning land.
Auther opened his mouth wide when he saw this scene. It was the first time he has ever witness flame.
"This is the future for humans, flames that even powerful beasts can only avoid'' Auther eyes bright as the mid-noon sun as he spoke.
"Yes, this flame is the key to human beings path to civilization. Only by mastering flame can humanity drive away beasts and make peace with hunger." Damon's calm voice pierces through Auther heart.
Damon mumble and hovered his right hand. The ghastly night sky was suddenly coated with dark clouds. Puring down dense raindrops. The forest fire caused by Damon. Quickly extinguished even the once destroyed forest was reinforming. As if the rain contained the source of life.
Auther looked at all this enviously and praised such power. During this period, he stayed with Damon every day and felt the Power that Damon wield, the power of God. Compared to knowledge, he wanted Damon's Power. For him to make the world bend to his will. Just like Gaia.
"I will teach humanity to control the flame and start a new order of things." Auther nodded.
"Very well. I choose you, the new king of humanity. I hope you will not let me down and lead humanity out of the age of ignorance. Instead of the path of carnage." Damon smiled.

"I shall work hard to live up to your expectations, Father." Auther knelt on the dirt respectfully.
"Before we part. I want to give you something." Damon waved his hand gently and took out a long sword and a ball of blue flame, which was on top of a torch-like object.
The long sword was something he had bought online and customized by him. It is a high-strength alloy long sword strengthened with Origin.
Origin is a kind of magical energy. During the past weeks. Damon was not only paying attention to the development of humans. But also exploring the role of Origin. In addition to creating any form of matter. Origin can strengthen existing items and give them magical attributes such as an increase in density and other weird magical abilities.
Even on living beings Origin can be used on them to strengthen the human body.
All in all, this is Powerful energy with awesome magical effects that cannot be easily imagined. What Damon can do now is simply the tip of the iceberg, to use it in simple and superficial ways.
The long sword strengthened by the source of energy is exceptionally sharp. Especially in this primitive age, it can cut everything built by man. And will be called indestructible by many.
As for the fire, Damon used the source of energy to create it. It has the characteristic of never extinguishing. When the fire was shaping, he got some inspiration from Prometheus in Western mythology.
Although he has taught Auther how to make fire. With this kind of fire, it is simple to show others its strength.
"Artefact, the weapons of God. I'm not worthy?" Auther was nervous but full of anticipations.
"Not only this, boy." Damon smiled lightly, and then he untangled the Origin that had been around him into a ball and incorporated it into Auther's body.
The human of Eden Plain obeys one rule. The strongest take the cherry on the cake. Which means the strongest do as he pleased.
Therefore, Auther's knowledge alone cannot change the destiny of civilization. He also needs a dominant source of power. This is why Damon had to merge Origin into Auther.
The Origin can strengthen Auther's body, giving him a physique beyond ordinary people. And with the sword reinforced by the Origin. He would skillfully win against tens of men.
After the Origin entered Auther's body, it brought about very drastic changes. His body became robust his aura became more resilient and confident. He grew to 210 cm tall, with completely developed muscle.
After establishing his tribe. Auther can conquer all the other tribes on the Eden Plain and incorporate them. Finally, they would rush out of the Eden Plain to enter the broader world. Using the knowledge that Damon taught him during their time will lead him to create his Empire.

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

Knowing how childish it was, he made a wish. A wish for a freer life with his family. One in which dreaming was more than just dreaming. One where every day felt like an adventure of it's own. Be it because of a cosmic accident, a random God's will or simple coincidence, his dream was heard. How will Kyoku react when he suddenly wakes up to a world hidden in plain sight?--------------------------------------------- This is a spin-off of the Korean Manhwa series called "The Gamer".

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
