"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
"Dammit!"
"Hehe, you're so bad at this Soro"
Both Akame and Soro clenched their hands once again. Akame looked at Soro with a smirk on her face.
"Heh, give up already, you've already lost eighteen times in a row"
"Like hell I will, I'm not giving up until I beat you Akame"
"Hmm...ok then have it your way"
Soro opened his eyes widely and looked down at Akame's left hand which was currently clenched, he was observing it's movements very sharply.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Yugo placed his book down and leaned over to see the results.
"A draw !?! that's the first one yet, you must be cheating Soro!"
Soro raised one of his eyebrows and looked at Yugo with a forced smile on his face, although you could tell he was annoyed.
"Dude...shut up"
Akame chuckled, she then looked at Soro with a smug look on her face.
"I'm so glad you finally learned how to play rock play scissors"
Soro's forced smile broke as he gritted his teeth towards Akame.
"SHUT UP! JEEZ..."
"PFF...HAHAHAHAHA"
Akame bursted out in laughter as she lowered her left hand.
"Ahhh...you're so funny Soro"
Soro crossed his arms and looked down with an annoyed expression like a child who was told he couldn't have what he wanted. Akame wiped the tears from her eyes from all the laughter.
"Alright, how about one more round and then we can play something else ?"
"Fine..."
"Rock, Paper, Scissors!"
Both Akame and Yugo's eyes widened and Soro's right after. They all had a surprised look on their face. Soro was the most surprised among the three off them, he could not believe what had happened.
"I WON!!! HECK YEAH!!!"
Akame didn't say anything, she simply grinned. Soro stood up from his seat and raised both his arms in the air.

"WOOOOOOOOOOO!"
All the other students in the bus immediately turned their gazes towards him. Soro lowered his hands shortly after and noticed all the faces staring at him, he was so embarrassed he didn't know how to react, he scratched the back of his head as he smiled at them.
"Haha....so what's up guys ?"
None of them responded, they just simply looked away as if nothing had happened and continued with what they were doing before. Akame bursted into laughter once again.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA, YOUR TOO GREAT SORO!!"
She kicked her legs around like a child as she continued to laugh, Soro simply sat back down with a gloom look on his face and stared out the window trying to erase his memory of what just happened. He noticed the sky was clear, all the clouds that he had seen 40 minutes ago before the journey had completely vanished.
[Hmm...that's strange, there all gone, has anyone else noticed it besides me ? should I ask Akame ?]
"Hey, Akame..."
"Hmm ? looking for another rematch ?"
"No not that. Have you noticed anything strange happen to the sky lately ?"
"Well now that you mention it, my dad told me he saw something fall out from the sky last night when we were having dinner"
"That's weird, did he tell you what it looked like ?"
"He said it was blue and glowing like some sort of star, something along those lines I think, Why do you ask ?"
"Just curious is all"
"Really ? It's not like you to care about this sort of thing, are you alright ?"
"Yeah i'm fine don't worry, anyways, what are we playing next ?"
The bus suddenly came to a stop. The blonde teacher got off her seat and walked over to the bus coach.

"Why did we stop ?"
The coach turned off the engine of the bus and then looked at her
"I can't drive any further ahead"
"What do you mean ?"
The coach pointed forwards. The road ahead had a large hole on it, almost as if a giant meteor had crashed down on it not too long ago. The teacher squinted her eyes at it.
"What on earth is that ?"
The students started mumbling among each other concerned as to why the bus stopped. The teacher turned around to face them and then cleared her throat.
"Ehem..."
They all looked up at her and became silent.
"It looks like we ran into a problem getting to the Kyanpu forest, but no worries, there's a place not too far back called the Henka forest where we can camp instead."
The students started mumbling again with confused looks on their faces. Akame stood up and spoke to the teacher directly.
"But Miss, why can't we go to the Kyanpu forest ?"
"Well you see....the roads blocked ?"
"Huh ?"
Akame slightly twisted her head in confusion. The teacher had no idea what else to say to her, she cleared her throat once again.
"Alright class, start leaving the bus and form a line on the pavement, do not attempt to walk further down the road"
The students obediently followed her command, however the mumbling started again once they left the bus and saw the hole on the road in front of the bus. Soro, Yugo and Akame stood together in the line. Yugo sighed as he gently pushed his glasses closer to his eyes.
"I don't understand why we are going to Henka forest, if the roadway to Kyanpu forest is blocked then we may is well return back to school and come back once the it's back to normal.
Soro had been staring at the hole on the roadway for a while, he was curious as to why there were no signs put up around it, could it have been that the road was only recently damaged and they were the first to notice it. Akame crossed her arms with a weary look on her face.
"Jeez this whole trip is ruined"
The teacher finally came out of the bus after discussing a phew things with the coach. She stood in front of all the students who where in line.
"Alright, everyone follow me I know a shortcut to the Henka forest"
The teacher got off the pavement and went onto a rocky pathway surrounded by trees. The students followed along, apart from Soro who was still looking at the hole.
["What could have possibly fallen from the sky to make such a big hole ?"]
Soro spotted a small blue flash coming from the hole, he started to walk closer towards it in curiosity, however he stopped when he heard Akame call for him soon after.
"Hey Soro! hurry up or your gonna get lost"
"Coming"
Soro turned away from the hole and ran onto the rocky pathway to catch up to the rest of his class

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you. Working forces is difficult in the Age of Man, and gods are limited in the ways they interact with the world. The great monsters of old have mostly been slain, or sealed away. But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
