"Well then, now that I know what those flames really mean why not spice everything up a bit..."
Dr. Green as staring at his screen, a mischievous grin making him seem a bit crazed.
On the screen were three types of flames, a light blue flame that defied what was though to be impossible, a flame of burning da water. A green earthy flame that released dusts every now and then. and a clear flame that seemed to flow with the wind in unnatural ways.
Beside each flame was a pair of each new race, the mer, adept in the ways of water minipulation, the terra, born from the very earth they form around them, and lastly the koja, never really settling down but choosing to roam the worlds in freedom.

A group of mer formed on a small hill within the ash lands, they flames releasing a gentle blue glow. They resembled the ahi in many ways, the shape of their bodies, two feet and two arms, even facial features. But what they lacked in originality they more then made up for in looks.
With each step they took made it seem as if they where walking on air, with each breath the elements bowed down to them, admiring their beauty. Their eyes sparkled light a million stars and their ears slightly pointed. Their hair a gentle blue with bits of silver here and their, and their skin as pale as snow. Small horns emerged from their temples, curving slightly as they reached a slight point.
Looking around they saw the world of the ahi, a world of stuffy ash and an ugly gray covering all of the land. With just one look disgust filled their eyes, their gentle flames now burning with resentment for even having to stand in this place.

"Ughh, this place is atrocious, how could their be so much of one color!"
Their first born a naturally their strongest looked at the world with contempt. With a slight wave of her wrist and with the power of her flames she sought out a world of their own, one where they can truly build something beautiful.
A portal formed and on the other side a massive ocean of emptiness, a world untouched by all, perfect for their kind. Water brusted out from the portal with ferocity, turning the surrounding hill into a lake of murky water,
"No no no, this won't do, I won't be having our connection point be so...hideous!"
As one the mer used their flames to purge the waters of impurities. Now the lake water was crystal clear, sparkling within an unnatural light, instead of becoming murky again the surround land that thouched the lake flourished with green nature.
"Now we won't have to worry about such hideous scenery."
With looks of contempt they sauntered through the portal, enjoying the beautiful lake the gifted to the ugly land of gray.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

The Successor
The Immortal God Emperor is dead...yet his Successor will one day arise. The worlds had long moved on from the greatest Cultivator of all time. The things that had been achieved and the advances made in the Immortal God Emperor's absence were nothing to turn one's nose up at. And yet, something was always missing. Because Cultivators, no matter the goals they pursue, always bow to the greater power. They seek it, they covet it for themselves, and they serve it with reverence. Shan Kai Lan was born into such a world. Born to two herb farmers whose cultivation did not surpass the Foundation Realm, yet who loved their son more than anything. Kai Lan was a child blessed by the Spiritual Plain, far more gifted and more intelligent than others his age. Yet the more profound his achievements, the greater the likelihood that his happy, peaceful life would be trampled on by those who desired his potential for themselves. The question of Kai Lan's journey becomes not whether he will reach the highest peak of cultivation, but what he will be forced to do to keep his young Clan, and the happiness it provides, at peace. Note to Reader: I am not of an Asian background, but this work is heavily influenced by Eastern stories and concepts. In saying that, it is an INFLUENCE only. Keep in mind that this is a fantasy work, and any butchering of names, concepts or cultural objects/places/subjects are not meant in any way to offend. With that in mind, Happy Reading! - Jelim

Greene's Monthly Contest
most writers don't have enough recognition. most of them only win awards based on the general aspects of a story; genre or theme, judged by the same things, not appreciating the genius behind the chapters. same awards, same results.--and we disagree with that.
