《ADEPTAVERSE》11 - First Fury Arc: Sanctuary Once More
Advertisement
It was the morning after Hugo and Altara raided the cave base belonging to Eternal Chrome. Altara had dropped off Hugo at the medical bay inside of the tower and lead Konstantine there as well just in case she needed any medication because of her time at Eternal Chrome.
Altara sighed, sitting on his bed inside his dorm. His oversized machete which he took from Kript leaning against the end of the bed. He soon looked at a small room in the dorm with a glass door, he stood up and walked into the room, it was a bathroom. He got unchanged and stood into the shower, which was inside its own glass cubicle in the room. He looked at his shoulder as he was washing, seeing the wound he gained from the fight with Kript. It had a scab over it now. He decided to ignore it and soon finished washing.
When Altara stood out the shower he wrapped a towel around his waist, walking to the mirror and looking at himself. Brief flashes of Kript's mutilated body appeared before him, he grunted at this and took a few heavy breaths, leaning on the sink just below of the mirror. He gulped and stood out of the bathroom, moving to his clothing drawers. He put on a simple pair of blue jeans and a red shirt, looking at his biker jacket which was on the end of his bed but decided to not put it on. He went to a desk which was next to the entrance of the bathroom. The rolled-up map he found in the cave base was there, he decided to open it up and looked at it.

"Oh, a map of the Mainland." He looked over it briefly, before taking out a pen that was on the desk. He drew an X where the Tower of Magik was.

"Heh." He put the pen back and looked over the map again.

"Never been to Wrathak and Diratopia." He mumbled to himself, leaning back in his chair. "Even forgot what races live in those lands..wasn't it the Wolven and Dire-Beings?"
His thoughts were interrupted as a knock came from his door, he cleared his throat and stood up, walking to the door and opening it. Jolene stood there, the healer giving Altara a slight nod.
"Hey kiddo, Hugo is all patched up and the girl you brought to us...it was pretty hard to get anything out of her. So we decided to let her go. She's still in the medical bay though with Hugo. That bandage you made was pretty well done too, so grats." She grinned.
"O-Oh, hey Jolene. Sure, I'll go down there now and see them."
He walked out, before stopping, slowly looking at Jolene. "Uh, I kinda forgot the way to the medbay."
Jolene chuckled and rolled her eyes with a grin, walking past Altara. "Follow me, kiddo." She walked past Altara, the two going into the elevator at the end of the corridor.
They soon made it to the medbay, Altara quickly walked in seeing Hugo sitting on a bed inside, Konstantine leaning on a wall on the other side of the medbay, looking at the floor.
Altara swiftly walked up to Hugo and grinned slightly. "So you're okay?" Hugo looked up at Altara, staring for a second before pulling him in for a hug.
"Alt, I'm fine. Thanks for patching me up in there." He said, smiling as he hugged Altara. Altara froze for a second before slowly hugging back. "It's...It's no problem." Hugo and Altara stopped hugging, Hugo looking over at Konstantine, then back at Altara. "So you found her deeper within the base?"

"Yeah, I did. She was locked up in a cage and I felt like if I didn't let her free the guilt will hang on my heart forever." Altara folded his arms, looking at Konstantine who was still looking at the floor.
"I see. Must have been a slave of some sort, poor girl." Hugo cleared his throat. "Konstantine was it?" He asked her.
Konstantine looked up. "Yes, that's my name." She kept against the wall, her crimson eyes locked onto Hugo.
"Hm, glad to see you safe. Altara here deserves all the credit concerning your current safety." Hugo grinned at her.
Konstantine looked at Altara. "I know."
She then looked back down at the floor.
Hugo looked at Altara, leaning in and whispering. "I think she likes youuuuu~" Altara looked at Hugo and frowned slightly, stepping away. "H-Hey!"
Hugo simply laughed out loud.

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
