《ADEPTAVERSE》17 - Empire of Darkness Arc: The Land of The Marked People
Advertisement
Three hours later and the group arrived on the coast of Wrathak. Kry had left his yacht in a sea cave nearby and they used a dinghy which was on the side of the yacht to get to a beach near the sea cave.
Cough Cough! Hugo briefly coughed as the group walked up the beach.
"Why is the sand gray? Ain't it meant to be like, yellow?" Altara asked as the group walked up the beach. Konstantine looked ahead from behind the group at a large cliff that was towering over the beach. "No idea, we just need to figure out how to get over that cliff."
Kry crouched down on one knee and took a sample of the gray sand in a small plastic tube and pocketed it before clearing his throat, standing up straight. "Don't worry about that. Just keep your eyes open."
Hugo meanwhile was not looking at the cliff ahead but glancing over his shoulder at the sea they came from. Kry looked back at Hugo. "What is wrong Hugo?"
"Nothing. I just hope we weren't followed here." Hugo looked down in front of him as he started to walk again alongside Kry. Kry chuckled, "Don't worry about it. We would have heard the boat." Hugo looked at Kry as they walked. "But what if they weren't following by boat?"
Kry shook his head and patted Hugo's back. "Don't worry my friend! You are simply overthinking."
The group soon made it to the cliff, it stood at around forty meters high, being made out of pure rock. Kry looked at everyone.
"Everyone, please stay close." Kry simply ordered. Hugo casually walked up to Kry, placing his hands in his pockets. Konstantine and Altara slowly did the same. "Uhm, why?" Altara asked as he stood next to Kry, but before his question could be answered Kry extended both arms outwards.

"CEASE GRAVITUS!"
Kry exclaimed as the sand on the ground around the group started to levitate upwards, Altara and Konstantine saw the sand move upwards and their faces became one of pure surprise. Soon enough their bodies started to float upwards whilst still standing upright. Altara watched the ground below them move away and gulped. "U-Uhm?!"
"Alt, don't worry. Kry is using a technique of magik to lift us upwards. Just stay silent." Hugo said calmly, his hands in his pockets. Altara noticed Hugo's calm attitude and slowly started to calm down. "G-Got it, my bad."
They soon landed on top of the cliff, now standing on some dark green grass. Kry put his hands back to his side as the gray sand that was lifted landed around them, Konstantine looked down the cliff briefly before looking at Kry. "Quite impressive." She mumbled.
Altara looked at Kry. "Did you just...switch gravity?"
Kry looked over at Altara, brushing some sand off his shoulder. "Yes, Gravity Manipulation. Although I rarely ever use it because I never really need too." He gave Altara a thumbs up.
Hugo looked ahead of the group at a moody grass plain, only some crows were seen flying around here and there with a few dead trees. Gray skies loomed over the land. Kry walked next to Hugo and looked at the dead land in front of them.
"Eastern Wrathak...
...It's horrible."
Kry said as a crow landed on one of the dead trees in the near distance. Hugo nodded. "Yeah..I'm getting cold even with my coat on. Are you cold? You don't even have a jumper on or anything, just a shirt."
"A little, yes." He looked over at Altara and Konstantine who were looking out into the distance as well, adjusting his glasses. "Okay guys we'll walk for a bit and make camp someplace secluded." He started to walk. "Making camp here will only cause us to freeze to death." He exhaled. Hugo followed and so did the other two.

...Meanwhile
Step..Step...Step....
"Hmm..."
A dark tall figure was watching the group walk across the black plain from atop a dead tree with a pair of binoculars.
"Hm."
They lowered the binoculars slightly.
"I will claim this prize. And be at peace once and for all." They said calmly with their muffled voice.
They pocketed the binoculars and dropped from the tree.

Basic Skills

Follow along as Dix falls back on his tried and true method of making it through life, letting his subconscious do all the work while he looks for girls.

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

The Order
The Order takes place within the Human-led Empire, within Glory City. In this Empire in which Magic is policed and its use is regulated, Mages are required to have a licence in order to practice Magic. The Magically inclined, Non-Human Races that have lived under Human rule lived a markedly different life to Humans, which had led to a somewhat contentious relationship. A law enforcement agency known as The Order is responsible for maintaining Magical order, and is also responsible for doling out justice to those who break the law. Consisting of the Magic using Mages, and the more technologically inclined Knights, these Agents are regarded as protectors by some, but as oppressors by many. The tale follows the exploits of Izano Zuko, a mysterious man, covered from head to toe in burn scars and wrapped in bandages. He arrives in Glory City with the backing of the City Lord, unknown abilities and secret intentions. Trouble starts up almost as soon as he arrives, and Zuko is thrown into a conflict between the Order and an unknown enemy. This is a complete book, and I plan to upload a chapter every week or so. No cover as yet.
