《Knight X Magic》Chapter 2-Welcome Home
Advertisement
"Mum, I thought you said dad was dead. So why am I looking at the exact copy of him?" Yuu says.
"That's what I thought when he didn't return for 2 months. Now if you don't mind, mummy is going to take some time dealing with this" - Yuu's mum responded.
As soon as Yuu's mum went downstairs, Yuu snuck into the room and started to tap his dad on the cheek to check if he was real.
While time went passed, Yuu stared at his dad like a dead Crow. Trying not to blink for even a minute, Yuu was about to go to sleep. As both of Yuu's black beautiful eyes reach close to their final destination, a sudden jump from his dad like a lion that was about to approach his prey, Yuu's dad finally woke up.
With only five words, he was able to turn that final destination to a final boss battle. Those five words were "I am finally home, son."
As Yuu jumped with a smile, he shaped his hand into a fist and punch his dad in the face and said "What took you so long?"
Too bad for the father that the boss battle didn't go the way he wanted it.
"Is this how you treat your father!" Shouted Yuu's dad.
*Yuu's mum enters the room*
"What is with the loud voice?" Shouted Yuu's mum.
Yuu's dad turned around and saw his wife. It felt like centuries for Yuu's dad and mum since they saw each other. Yuu's dad stared at his wife as if he saw angel falling from the sky. And with that said, Yuu's dad said to the angel "Miss me, beautiful?."
As the husband thought his wife would come in with a kissed with his arms wide opened, she had a special medicine she wanted him to taste. It was a dose of a rock-solid fist.

Time went passed later on that day and it became time for the father to have his long-lasting meal.
"So dad, what was it like going on your tenth mission?" Says Yuu with an excited expression.
"Where should I begin? Should I tell you about the lake monster or the night eaters?" The dad exaggerated
"Tell me all of it." The son said looking at his father with an excited expression on his face, wishing to become like his dad.
"Honey, could you please tell our son about why he shouldn't become a black magic, Knight." Says, mum.
"But I can't see why not. Everything about it is amazing, you get free food, respect, honour, power and more." The dad said with excitement.
"When I become a Knight, I'm gonna surpass you, dad. "- Says Yuu with a proud face.
"Ha, then I guess you will have to train a lot." Yuu's dad said with confidence.
*Mum smashed the table*
"Please, honey tell him the truth! Stop hiding the secrets that the Magic Knights hide from us. I know I told you not to tell him the truth, but he actually wants to become one!" - Mum says that with tears going down her face.
"So it's finally time to tell him. I thought we would tell him when he was older." The dad said with a depression voice.
"What do you mean, tell me the truth?" - Yuu said with curiosity
"Son, I've been lying to you about how easy it is being a Knight. You have to go through basically non-stop training, lots of work, risking your life every day on the battlefield and losing those you care deeply about." Says Yuu's dad with a dark tone of voice.

" I know"- Yuu's responded, but got cut off by his dad.
"You know? You know how hard it is to look at all the innocent people that you killed?! YOU KNOW HOW HARD LISTENING TO YOUR ENEMY BEG FOR MERCY?!" Shouted Yuu's dad.
"Let me show you what power and fear look like with your own eyes and maybe then you will understand a quarter of what I go through every day. If you're able to look at me directly at my eyes and say that, then I will let you go to Knight Academy once you're 15. If not, then you have to say your goodbyes to your dream." - Says Dad with a deadly stare of a beast that hasn't eaten for days.
As Yuu faced the quarter of the pain his dad went through, will he back down or will he raise?

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?

Awakening
This story was previously known as "The Awakening".~*~"One... two... three... one... two... three... a million... is that number right?" A figure less voice echoed."Hello? Who's there?" Caliope asked, focusing on that voice."One... two... who? A million... a billion... no, it's more... a legion..."Silence. She had seen too many horror movies and heard too many stories about that single word to overpass its meaning. The voice went quiet, yet she was still unable to see where it came from. She rubbed her eyes and all she could see around her was a thick path in a jungle-like scene. She didn't remember how she got there, but she knew it was for something important. Her eyes focused on the far end of the path and all she could see were more trees. She turned to the opposite side and found just the same."One... two... billions... but always back at one..." the voice resumed it's counting."Where are you? Who are you?"~*~-Her name is Caliope, and when she was a young girl, she never believed in happy endings. For her, there was nothing more than what you see in front of you.
