《Gabriel "The Bastard Son"》Fairies Under The Bridge
Advertisement
Exactly the next morning that followed after Gabriel's day off,Kevin was alreadey standing outside of Gabriel's room and started yelling...
Kevin-Gabriel,Mak get up!
Gabriel-What?
Mak-Oh fuck what time is it?
Kevin-It's 6 a.m come on we have work to do.
Both Gabriel and Mak got out of bed,went to the bathroom and came downstairs to meet with Kevin but he wasn't in the kitchen.
Gabriel-Where is he?
Mak-How the fuck would i know?Say,did you fuck that chick last night?
Gabriel-No,i told you that i left her and came back.
Mak-You are so fucking stupid.
Gabriel-Do you ever get tired of saying fuck?
Mak-Nah,it comes naturally.
Kevin-I am in the lab come on quickly!
They went down to the lab and there they saw Kevin being way to energetic for this time of the day...
Gabriel-Why are you like that so early in the morning?
Kevin-I had too much coffee and stayed up all night.
Mak-Are you crazy doc?
Kevin-Maybe...but that's not the case,Gabe i need to do something.
Gabriel-What?
Kevin-I need you to absorb Mak's skin.
Gabriel-Maybe i'll get some coffee instead.
Kevin-I don't want you to eat it,just put your chest close to it and the Continuum Stabillizer will do it's thing.
Gabriel-Ok,but you said that i had to eat...
Kevin-I was joking,come on now.
Gabriel-Ok.
Gabriel put his chest close to Mak's skin sample and then fell unconcious for a couple of seconds,when he woke up he saw Mak and Kevin starring at him.
Kevin-So?
Gabriel-I had a very strange dream.
Kevin-A dream?
Mak-It must have been your inherited memories.
Kevin-Oh,what did you see in exactly?
Gabriel-I had wings...
Kevin-Wings?(Kevin took his notebook and started taking notes)
Gabriel-Yes,one made of fire and one golden,fighting each other.
Kevin-Intersting...
Gabriel-Then i saw faces...
Kevin-What kind of faces?
Gabriel-They were dark,i can't seem to recall the faces but they seemed familliar.
Mak-That must be clues to what your ancestors look like.
Kevin-I see...
Gabriel-Some strange light appeared and i was holding in one hand fire and the other light...
Kevin-And then?
Gabriel-And then nothing,i woke up.
Kevin-That's a start,we are closer to understanding what you are exactly Gabe.
Gabriel-And what am i?
Kevin-I don't know yet but we certaintly have some clues now.
Mak-Try to visualize fire or light in your arms...

Kevin-What?
Mak-If he really saw himself holding fire and light on his hands that might be a clue for unlocking some of his powers.
Gabriel-I'll try...
Gabriel close his eyes and focused on the image of himself holding light but nothing came out,he tried the same with fire,the results were the same...
Gabriel-Maybe that dream has nothing to do.
Mak-It must have to do something,i am sure.
Kevin-I will have to agree with Mak on this one.
Mak-Try visuallizing something you like.
Gabriel-Ok.(The first thing that came to Gabriel's mind was an image of Helen)
After a couple of seconds his hands started glowing with white light.
Kevin-That's it!Don't lose this now Gabe!
Mak-Mother of God.
Gabriel-Something is coming in my mind.
Kevin-What is it?
Gabriel-A woman,hurt and a man helping her...
Mak-I don't get what you mean.
Gabriel-I lost it.
His hands went back to normal.
Kevin-That's outstanding Gabe.
Mak-How come?He is no better than a flashlight.
Gabriel-Shut up.
Kevin-Don't mind him,i have some clues to begin with.
Gabriel-Begin with what?
Kevin-You will see when the time is right,for now get some coffee and rest,at night you will go to the bridge and meet with those fairies.
Gabriel went back to the kitchen and got himself some coffee,he spent the rest of the day watching TV and at some point dusk came by.He went to find Kevin and ask him some advice...
Gabriel-Ok doc i think it's time for me to go,any advice?
Kevin-Take Mak with you,he said he can help you.
Gabriel-How is that idiot gonna help me?
Mak-Do you speak latin moron?
Gabriel-No...
Mak-Fairies do...and guess what?I do too.
Gabriel-Hm...ok,you can come with me.
Gabriel and Mak left the house and they begun their way to the bridge,they were silent for some time untill Mak said:
Mak-Ok whatever you do,don't touch them untill they touch you.
Gabriel-Why is that?
Mak-Fairies are peacefull creatures but they are afraid of a lot of things,touching one without her permision is going to make them think you want to hurt them.
Gabriel-You say "her"all the time.
Mak-Fairies are all female.They spawn each with the last dying flower of the winter and wake up at spring.Also unless attacked they are immortal to a certain extend.
Gabriel-If they are immortal why are they afraid of someone hurting them.

Mak-They don't age but are very fragile when it comes to fighting.
Gabriel-Ok,anything else?
Mak-They can also use Mark magic.
Gabriel-What?
Mak-If you piss them off they might try to kill you.
Gabriel-Why didn't we bring any weapons then?
Mak-So we won't provoke them idiot.
Gabriel-And what are we gonna do when we get there?
Mak-Ask them for information,one of them has intel for the vampire that killed Kevin's wife.
Gabriel-Why don't i know anything about that?
Mak-Kevin thought you might do something stupid and interogate them,so i came along in order to calm things down and ask them the proper way,polite.
Gabriel-What about the "latin"thing?
Mak-They learned to speak like you ages ago,we lied to you so i could come along and ensure that everything goes smoothly.
Gabriel-Whatever.
Mak lead the way to the bridge,Gabriel was a bit anxious,he never came face to face with a fairy and even though he had already fought strange creatures before he couldn't help it,he was scared
what he might come across when they enter the area that was under the effect of the Glamour spell,Mak was very calm,he had never faced fairies either but the memories he had inherited by the
dragon gave him enough knowledge as to how he can handle the situation.After half an hour they finally came across the edge of the Glamour spell near the bridge.
Mak-Remember what i told you?
Gabriel-Sure.
Mak-I'm not joking moron,don't talk unless i tell you to,we don't want to anger them,we just need information.
Gabriel-Don't talk to me like a kid,i'll kill you.
Mak-Ok calm down,i just want to make sure everything works out.(Crap,his eyes are not joking,better not pick on him anymore)
Gabriel and Mak entered,went across the bridge and suddently they came in area that the fairies occupied.A strange smell was in the air,like when rain falls to the ground,the rest of the place was
magical,big colourfull trees with lamps hanging from the branches,mossy roads made of cobblestone,the place was too big to fit in the area of the bridge and pecked Gabriel's curiosity.
Gabriel-What the hell?How does all of this fit in a bridge?
Mak-Maybe the spell also includes distortion of space.
Gabriel-You lost me.
Mak-It's too hard for me to explain to fairy magic right now,but there is something else you might want to pay attention.
Gabriel-There is no one here.
Mak-Bingo!This place should be full of happy go lucky half naked fairies right now,where could they be?
Gabriel-You never told how they look like.Did you say "half naked"?
Mak-They look like humans most part,except they are pretty and where leaf clothes or something.
Gabriel-You haven't met one have you?
Mak-Not in person but i can recall an image of a fairy,anyway we have to search for them.
Gabriel-How the hell does a fairy know about Kevin's wife?
Mak-Fairies and vampires are in some kind of "cold war"so they spy on each other every now and then.
Gabriel-Cold war?
Mak-Some fighting about who is the best suited to be immortal....something,i don't know anything more.
Gabriel-We should split up and find what's going on.
Mak-Yeah.
Gabriel and Mak split up and started to look around,Gabriel was luckier than Mak and found a something that resembled a house,he looked through the window and saw a beautifull creature,it
was a woman just like Mak described but she was hurt and probably unconcious.
Gabriel-Hey short-ass come over here!
Mak-What!?I can't hear you!
Gabriel-I SAID COME OVER HERE DUMBASS!!!
Mak run towards Gabriel as fast as he could.
Mak-Why are you yelling?
Gabriel-Look in there.
Mak-Oh....!Let's go in quietly,don't startle her.
Gabriel and Mak went inside and they took a closer look at the creature on the ground.She was still alive but very hurt,barely breathing.
Gabriel-What do we do now?
Mak-We have to take her back to Kevin,he has to fix her up,then we can talk to her.
Gabriel-How are we gonna do that?
Mak-You will have to carry her mate.
Gabriel blushed,he felt embarassed to grab a pretty girl,especially one with so little clothing but he set aside his embarassment and took her in his arms.
Gabriel-Ok let's go quickly.
Mak-Yeah we don't know how she will react if she wakes up while you carry her.
Gabriel and Mak finished their mission as quickly as they started it,what could happen in order for the fairies to leave in such a hurry and not take care of an injured member of their familly.What
will this strange fairy have to say when she wakes up?If she wakes up....

Shadow Overseer
He never had a name. People had names, not lab rats. The reason for his existence was to further science and die somewhere along the way. "Subject Five" was what they called him. Under the name of science, they tormented him and derived a sick pleasure from his pain. His dark life had a single solace in the form of his brothers and sisters sharing the same fate. Helping them escape cost Five his life, but he was happy knowing he did something for himself. After waking up, he finds himself as the son of a noble in a marvelous world filled with magic. In his second chance at life, he vows to protect himself and his family from anything that threatens to destroy his peaceful life. Follow Five on his path to supremacy. ********** This is a LITRPG novel, with the system playing a crucial, but supporting role. It isn't omnipotent and has definite origins which I'll explain later in the story. Another important aspect is world-building and crafting. I'll go into quite a lot of detail on both of them.

Gamer
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.
