《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 11 (Part 3)

“Oh, you mean Nicky?” Isabelle questioned. “He will monitor you from a distance using a new unique program he made. I helped him too.”
“So, are you saying that was your idea?”
“Uh-huh, I figured he might be useful. Outside of battles, he’ll be in look-out mode for me.”
“Where is he, and when will he show up?” Chi-Chi asked.
Before Isabelle could answer, a loud tapping sound came from the windows. Turning their heads, a robotic fly buzzed and tapped the glass.
“What is that and what’s up with those eyes?” Benjamin asked, utterly disgusted by the appearance.
“That must be him, right there,” Isabelle replied. “What’s going on Nicky?”
“I seem to have a bit of trouble controlling the new prototype.” Nicholas’ voice replied; his that came out of the robot. “I’m sure once I get the hang of it, it’ll all go smoothly.”
“Hang on; let me open the window for you.”
“Uh, how about we leave the window closed for the sake of our sanity?” Harry suggested.
“Don’t be ridiculous; how will Nicholas do his part otherwise?” Isabelle walked over to open the windows and let the robot enter.
However, immediately after the fly entered the room, bolts of magic shot straight at it. The robot dodged most of it, but one of its wings got hit and as it fell, and landed on the dresser.
Isabelle turned to Benjamin, who shrugged. The two then looked over to Harry, who took the wand from him and used it on his own.
“Harry, what did you do that for?” Chi-Chi asked.
“K-keep that thing away from me, please!” Harry shouted in panic.
“Hey, never mess with my wand without my permission!” Benjamin exclaimed as he snatched the wand away from the hamster.

“Sorry, Master.”
“Is he at least ok?” Chi-Chi asked.
“Yeah... I’m ok...” Nicholas replied.
Isabelle sighed in relief and looked over at the wreckage. “You know, it’s sad.”
“What is?” Benjamin asked.
“Your powerful device can’t even destroy something like a robot fly. Pathetic, if you ask me.”
“Well, sorry for having a lame excuse of a ‘device’ then! If only, if only, I could go back to my world, get a new sphere, and power up my wand!”
In frustration, Benjamin threw the wand across the room. It hit the wall and shot out a bolt of magic, which bounced all around the room. The magic headed towards Benjamin, and Isabelle ran over to push him out of the way. The beam ricocheted off the window and hit the TV.
The screen now showed a magenta and aqua-green colored swirling image. As everyone got up from the incident, they dusted themselves off, before hearing a strange beeping sound.
“What’s that?” Harry asked.
“Uh, I think it’s coming from that pink thing,” Chi-Chi said, pointing to the computer.
“Oh, that’s my laptop, and it’s magenta.” Isabelle corrected her.
“But why is it acting up?”
“Beats me.” After looking over the laptop, Isabelle gasped. “Guys, check this out. According to this, I think that’s a magical portal you just created inside the TV.”
“Wait, so...” Benjamin started.
“Your wish came true!” Isabelle exclaimed happily, bouncing up and down. “Now you can get your stuff back!”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you glad I came here to help?”
“But I could have figured that out myself—”
“I can’t wait to check out this new world, too.” Isabelle rushed over and placed her hand on the TV; it went through the screen.
Soon, she had worked her whole body inside the television. Benjamin watched as she disappeared from sight. Looking down at his hands and clenching them, he rushed over and went inside the TV after her. Harry and Chi-Chi looked at each other with worried expressions before they hopped in to follow the two.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

The Girl from the Mountain
Alexandra Bedford is a weapon, a young woman with telekinetic powers capable of leveling entire cities, born to fight in the desolate remains of post-apocalyptic North America. There is only one problem: she may be losing control of her abilities. Sixteen years after a global pandemic devastated the earth’s population, the lines in the old United States have been drawn between the Cheyenne Directorate in Colorado and the New England Alliance on the East Coast. The Directorate, of which Alexandra is a part, is a small but powerful organization dedicated to returning the country to its former glory. However, when a diplomatic mission to the New England Alliance goes wrong, Alexandra finds herself at the center of a bloody civil war. Battles are fought on the old highways and in dilapidated towns and once-great cities. And as the conflict escalates, all of North America faces the threat of being burnt away by nuclear fire. Against this backdrop of war, Alexandra tries to uncover the long-hidden secrets behind the plague, her abilities, and the two men fighting to decide the fate of the United States - Henry Bedford, Alexandra's father and leader of the Directorate, and John Martin, the mysterious figure at the heart of the New England Alliance who may hold the key to everything she seeks. None of this will matter, however, unless Alexandra can prevent the power growing inside her from taking over and consuming the very world she is fighting to save. Author's Notes: I appreciate you taking a look at my novel, The Girl from the Mountain. If you're a fan of post-apocalyptic fiction, military thrillers, and/or cosmic horror, I think you'll enjoy this story. I completed the novel's first draft back in 2011 and made significant changes in 2016. Since then, I've more-or-less sat on the manuscript while working on other projects. Thanks to a bit of prodding, I've decided to send this story out into the wild with some touch-ups and additional revisions. I welcome any comments or criticisms, and I hope you enjoy The Girl from the Mountain!
