《Shadow’s World》waiting
Advertisement
The surrounding fire died down, and I left the room. The cold hitting my back. It left me with a terrible feeling as I walked away. I went to my room and changed into a navy blue ninja outfit. I didn’t want the elders to know who stole their information until it was too late. I open the window and jump outside. I couldn’t have people seeing me left the school. I fly on the roof where Erica was waiting. She smiles and says, “That was shorter than expected. I see you didn’t waste that much time handling those guys. How about we go back inside and watch a few movies? It is early in the morning and it will not take us long to get to the archives. Also, I like the cold. It is hot outside.” I look at my sister, once again she looks like the grim reaper. She was swinging around her ice scythe. I jump into the air and start flying toward the archives. We had so much time to kill. It would take us only an hour. We would arrive at high noon if I move at Erica’s cruising speed. I took a massive detour. I headed straight for the fire boundary that separated us from the fairy users. I only been here a few times and each time, I am surprised at the fire. I was asleep when the boundary first came up and the fire reached all the way into space. There were satellites in space that the fires burn. Now, the fires are only a few inches tall. But if a person tries to cross over the fires would roar and push back the person who was trying to break the boundary. I land next to the boundary and look over to the other side. There was no one on the other side. I wish there was, I just want to talk to one of them. Just to see how they are like. Does my hatred for them is actual meaningful? Or I am just a heartless man trying to take my anger out on someone that doesn’t deserve it. I punch the boundary, a huge wall of fire spirals up. My hand bounced off the fire, forcing me to step back. The spider on top of my head says, "You, know I have connections and you can meet a fairy user right now today while you wait for nightfall.” I roll my eyes knowing this spider he will find someone like my parents. A person too good for this world. I don’t want to meet a perfect person. I want to meet a person who was a slave and hate us. I want to know if we can become friends even though my people put them into slavery. No, I don’t want the spider to find anyone. Erica lands behind me. She plays with her scythe. She walks up to a tree and cuts one of it branches off. She takes the branch and throws it in the air. As it falls to the ground, she slices it up 100 times. The branch lands on the good without falling apart. I sigh not knowing what to do. Erica does it to another branch. As she throws it into the sky she asks, “Little brother why don’t we go home for a while. It is boring out here.” I watch her cut the sticks again and again and reply, “Nah, not today, I rather just sit out here and think.” Erica stumbles for a moment and the branch this time fell apart once it hit the ground, causing the pieces to fly and hit the other branches. Causing the rest to fall apart. She glares at me and asks, “Was it Elder Jessie that told you?” She turns around and cuts the tree in half. She kicks the tree into the sky. She then jumps up and cuts the tree 5000 times. She waves her hand, causing the pieces to fly apart and settle down on the ground. She made 100 perfect logs from the tree. She falls back to the ground. She looks at the logs and says, “Dude, since we already have the wood lets start a fire at Elder Jessie house. It will make us both feel better and we can burn time while watching his house burn.” I laugh. “No, need. I will talk to our parents in due time. Man, I forgot how talkative you are without a book. I should have brought one.” She throws her scythe into a nearby tree, freezing it rock solid. She walks over and sits right next to me and says, “Oh, little brother, it is now siblings time. We are going on a mission to steal crap from the elders. Doing bad things is fun. Did you freeze everyone in the room or did you leave a random girl unfrozen?” I sigh and reply, “I froze them all. They are a team so I needed to treat them.” She laughs and hit me in the shoulder. “Little brother, you are the captain. Give the ones you like special treatment. I bet when you unfreeze Wendy, she will cry.” I lay down. “Sister, I won’t take the bait. Let’s both listen to the world while we wait for the time to strike. We are away from everyone and there is no reason to antagonize me today.” Erica shrugs her shoulders. She leaps up to her feet and walks to her scythe and flies off into the distance. A random spider is poking me in the head. Saying hi repeatedly. I yell, “Let me take a nap. I will fight a bunch of people in a few hours. I want to be at 100 percent when we go to the archives.” The spider ignore my words and keeps poking me in the face saying Hi. I ignore it. I listen to the wind while ignoring the spider. At the stroke of midnight, Erica came back. Without saying a word, we both took off into the sky flying toward the archives. The spider crawls on my face and says, “Wow, you have the patient of a god. For 15 hours, I have been poking you in the face and you had no reaction from it. I should just quit this game and make you the leader. But I look into your heart and it is still to conflict and with too much anger. You just might destroy yourself from the inside out. I think the upcoming battle would be good for you. Mister Alexander work hard.” The spider crawls back on my head.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

Will he get over his past and really turn a new leaf??? Will a place where law of jungle has long seeped into the society allow him lead a pleasant life without any carnage or bloodshed?????? ------------- Warning: About Story The Inheritor will be your standard reincarnation fantasy in a futuristic setup with cultivation being a mainstream occupation. Though it's a standard novel with Reincarnation and Cultivation 'The Inheritor' is not a HAREM and it'll have Romance. The action might take the back seat in the first part of the book. About the Author This is my first novel or any attempt to write something so I'm pretty much a newbie trying to pen down the fantasies rolling in my mind. English isn't my First language so brace yourself for some grammatic potholes. But I'm genuinely working on improving my English but it won't be happening overnight as it's a process, I guess. (for the time being, I'm trying to make it readable with some Grammar checking software) Moreover, I wish to improve my writing skills as the story grows and readers help in spotting mistakes or critics might turn it into a reality.

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
