《Origin Of The Forsaken》Chapter 13
Advertisement
The group leads Darius into the church, walking along the spiral until they make it to a door towards the back of the main chapel. The leader of the group knocks on the door, and they wait as they hear a chair move. The door soon opens and a priest says “Yes? What is it?”
“Sir, we found an unknown in the Lunenset Forest, we brought it here right away.” The priest nods and opens the door “Well, bring it in and we’ll see what you’ve found.” The leader of the group grabs Darius’ arm, pulling him into the room with the priest before the priest closes the door.
Darius frowns as he is brought over to a chair in the room which he is forced to sit in. He looks around the room a little before he looks towards the priest. “So, what now?” Darius asks. The priest looks at him surprised “Well, that is interesting, an unknown that can actually speak. That is very rare indeed.”
“Well this ‘unknown’ has a name.” Darius says while shaking his head and frowning. “And what might that be?” The priest asks. “Darius, my name is Darius.” “Interesting, quite interesting, and what exactly are you?”
“What do you mean what am I? I’m a human.” The priest laughs at that. “If you were a human you’d have the same identifiers as the rest of us.” “What, so you think because my identifier is different I’m not human? Would me being a Chosen change anything about that?”
The priest looks surprised. “Well, that certainly could change things, but that doesn’t explain why your identifier is different.” “Well, what does change them exactly?” “If you manage to change your race somehow, blessings, curses, and even some diseases.”

“So, a blessing could change it? I do have a blessing. It’s called The Blessing of The Three.” “That would most likely explain it, though that is a blessing I’ve never heard of, how did you gain it?”
“I don’t actually know, I got it shortly after I woke up, which was out in the forest.” “Very strange, especially because Myrdou wouldn’t send a chosen out into the forest, but you are speaking the truth.” “Wait, you can tell I’m not lying?” “Yes, all priests of Myrdou are given a blessing that allows them to know if someone tells a lie in their presence.”
“So you know that I’m not lying when I say I’m not a threat and that I don’t want to hurt anyone?” “Yes, you are telling the truth, your blessing must be what has changed your identifier, so I think we can remove you as an unknown.” The priest grabs a piece of paper and writes something on it, before using magic Darius can’t identify on it. “This will is your identification, it’s to let people know you aren’t classified as an unknown.”
“Right, that’s certainly a good thing to have, but I do wonder what magic that was?” Darius says as he takes the paper from the priest. “Ah, yes you probably haven’t seen much if any divine magic, it’s magic given by Myrdou to his followers, there are five forms of divine magic, just as there are five types of elemental magic. It’s usually based on your class, Clerics, Paladins, and Priests each have different forms. The last two classes are Holy Summoners, as well as White Mages. Of course there is some small crossover between classes at lower levels, but each are separated as they are due to what they gain at higher classes.”

“Well, that is certainly great to know, but with there being divine magic, isn’t there also dark magic as well?” Darius asks, before he pauses as he looks at the priest. “No, there is no such thing, and it is foolish to ask such questions.” The priest says, looking angry as he looks at Darius. “Now, I think it is best if you leave” Darius nods slightly as he says “Right, uh, thank you for all of your help.” While he walks out the door, following the leader of the group that brought him here.
Darius looks at the leader as he says “Do you happen to know a way I could make some money fairly quickly? I’m kinda broke.” “Well, you could try the adventurers guild, they probably have something you could do.” “That sounds great, but where is it?” “Follow the street we brought you through until you find a large building that has a sword and shield sign on it” “Thanks.” Darius says with a nod before he leaves the church.
Darius walks back down the street, looking around as he does. He takes a while to finally find the building with the sword and shield sign on it, but he walks inside.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Hemophobia
Having a good life Chris never even thought about joining virtual reality. A lot of friends and even more girlfriends. Expensive clothes and cars. A handsome athletic look and highly intelligent mind. In addition a Family that can provide everything to him. Pretty much everything someone wants to have at the age of 20. However Chris starts to have second thoughts about his ''blessings'' and decides to join virtual reality with the purpose of having a very different life there.PS. There will be no violation (rape) scenes in my story. Rape, sadly, is part of our world with many culprits and victims and I don't accept to 'create' another victim OR culprit of such monstrosities, even if they are fictional. The story in general will remain on the bright side most of the time.
