《Shadow’s World》26. Training
Advertisement
Night came quickly and I saw Erica walking towards me with a sinister smile on her face. “Little brother, it is time for dinner do you feel better now?” “ Yes, Erica I do feel better let's go and get something to wat. I have started to feel hungry and tomorrow is going to be a busy day.” We walk into the cafeteria and both of us got our meals and sat down. “Erica, I know what we are going to do tomorrow. We are going to be training in the elements. Tomorrow is elemental training for me and I want to see the deal with their elements. I do hope that none of them have bad habits or think they know how elements work. It is going to be hard to rewire the way people think.” “little brother I know this better than anyone, so what time do you want to wake them up for practice?” I see our group walking into the cafeteria smiles and joking around with each other. “6 am, we have a full day tomorrow and I cannot wait to see them sleepy and exhausted. We are going to have fun tomorrow. I know you love seeing people being tortured and I am going to break that group tomorrow.” I finish my plate and told Erica goodbye and wave goodbye to my training. Time for me to go to sleep I, I need my beauty rest. I walk back to my room and look around in it to be sure nothing was out of lace and climb into my bed and fell asleep.
I woke up 1 hour before the meeting time. I went and took a shower put on my clothes and went to the training area. It seems there was still 45 mins left to go, so while I was waiting I went and start doing light excises. Rand around the stadium a few times and lift some weights. Erica and the rest of them came dragging their feet. Erica once again went to a spot and got her book out to read. The area always has lights on so there was no trouble with her reading abilities. “HGello grunts how do you guys feel this fine morning? Today is our first real day of training yesterday was a hello to my new team. “ they all groan and they look like they could fall over at any moment. “today we are going to do some element training, I want you all one at a time to fire all of your elements at one of the training dummies in the middle of the field. So let me decide the first one up. Umm Sasuke you go first. “ Sasuke goes in front of the dummy and shoots out a fire and wind attack followed by him lunching one water ball. He goes back to the rest of the group. “Um, Sasuke there is 3 more elements I need you to do them all.” He looks at me with a surprised look on his face and says, “ I do not know all of the elementals bosses. “ I nodded my head and yell, “what do you mean you do not know all of the elements everyone here is 14 you all should know them all. Let me show you how many here knows all of their elements raise your hands.” Only two people in the group rose their hand everyone else looks around. “

“Alex, he is the normal one. Most of the Jeonglyeong aren’t able to use all 6 of their abilities until after their 16 birthday. 3 to 4 abilities right now is the avg of abilities that people are at this age. You cannot compare them to us. We are the exception. “ does the world hate me? This is dumb looks like I have to not only teach them how to use their elementals but also I have to teach them how to gain it as well. It looks like I can give Erica something to do now. “Erica I need to figure out the best way to unlock all of their elements. Do you need something from them?” “Unlike you, I am already prepared there is a way to unlock the elementals.” She throws me a book and I catches it and look inside. Haha, it seems it wouldn’t take long to do this and it hurts them to unlock it.
I get the rest of them to shoot the test dummy. Wow, these guys are weak none of them could burn the dummy with fire. They only got small burns using lightning attacks also the lightning did piece the dummy at all. When they attack with the wind it only causes a light breeze and didn’t cut it. They couldn’t make a water ball big enough to fit cover the dummy the same with ice and earth. Wow, these guys are weak time to show them true strength. “Erica, I need you to show them how it is done. This is awful and they need to see where I want them.” Erica sighs and closes her book. I set up 6 different dummies.
Standing in front of the dummies she fires 6 shot one to each dummy. This is the results one started to burn, the next the lightning went straight through, the third one was cut in half, the fourth one was shallow by water and was crush under its weight, the fifth was frozen, and the last one was put into a cage. It was nicely done. “team sees this is how it is supposed to be done. It might take us a while but everyone should be able to do the same thing. I hope you guys are ready for the hardest training of your lives.” Michael looks at Erica display and said, “I bet Alex cannot do that. Erica might be the best one of our generation and people are overhyping Alex because he talks well.” Erica looks at me and shrinks her shoulders and go back to reading her book.

“Michael, you are half right I cannot do what she did because I have turned all my elements into attacking elements. It was a very hard endeavor and it took years off my lifespan. Erica might be the strongest in our generation if it wasn’t for me. Did you not listen to my story yesterday, or do you need proof of this in actual combat?” “ha, you think of yourself as a fairy or something they are the only ones that can use the non-offense elements as attacking elements. Bring it on and I will show everyone here you are lying. Heck, maybe we should let Erica in charge since all you are good at is exercising.” I smiled and move the dummies out of the way for our fight. “ok the rules are I cannot use any attacking elements to beat you but also none of the defensive can be used in a defensive way. Erica once again is going to be the judge. You, on the other hand, can use all of your elements in any way you want. The condition of winning is either one of us gives up or the other gets knocked unconscious. Erica can you please gives us a countdown.” “3, 2, 1 fight.”
I summon an earth ball and hit Michael over the head with it. He fell like a pound of bricks. I rolled my eyes and look at the rest of the team. “anyone else?” They all shook their heads if the shook any harder their head would fly off their bodies. I went over to Michael and kick him a few times. Well, he is out cold. “You guys pick up his body and put him on the table. Once he wakes up he can join in. Now, looking at this book we have a training manual. It is time to put you guys to work.”

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

Heather the Necromancer
Heather was a normal girl living in an abnormal world. When the visitors came, they struggled to understand humans and their ways. It was through video games they began to learn, and then they came up with a plan. They created a virtual world of magic and dragons where people could translate and become parts of the game. Through this world, they watched and learned, growing in their understanding of us. She knew little about it, only what came across the occasional tweet or blog post. She knew that people went into the world known as New Eden because they volunteered. She also knew that rarely other people were forcefully drawn in; these were referred to as the chosen. Heather didn’t pay much attention to it all. For most of the world, things went on like they always had. She had classes to attend and boys to tease, and her cell phone was her world. That was until she woke in a forest clearing and realized she had been chosen. Discord Server

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
