《Shadow- the solo sword master》book 1 chapter 8 Desire part 2 completed
Advertisement
In response towards shadows demand of explaining himself Desire simply opened a screen in front of shadow.
"CALM YOURSELF SHADOW, I mean master, all your questions would be answered in due time but currently this is of far more importance".
Although Shadow was obviously disgruntled about the situation, he could do nothing but comply if he wanted answers so he replied with "Please continue on then Desire". Desire just opened a screen in front of Shadow as his reply.
"I will ignore the obvious sarcasm in your tone, but enough of that it is time for the real explanation to begin." To start off i will tell you about myself, however i would not reveal any information that is too dangerous for you too know at your current state.
Shadow I can only tell you the basics of my life, so dont ask for more information about it until you manage to reach a higher rank of power.
Now to begin, i am the sword DESIRE like my name suggests my power lies with darkness and desire.
I belong to the special series of swords called eternal, each eternal is named after their raw power or special ability such as death, hope, despair, etc.
My special ability is sword resonance it allows me to track a sword of the eternal series if they are within my field of detection.
Every sword has a different trial to find their master and the weaker the sword the easier the trial, Before i met you i was one of the few swords remaining without a master. We swords cannot utilize our full potential without a master, and so when a sword with a master fights with a sword without a master unless they are different ranks the sword with the master will win.
We swords can grow stronger depending on our elements and powers, for example the death sword gets stronger the more she kills with her masters as long as she bathes in their blood and takes away their life essences she would grow stronger.

I get stronger by desiring more powers more and more, so i devour other swords and gain their powers especially if they are from the same species as me.
We swords have a ranking system different to the systems version ours is simply rank 1 , 2 and so on until the number 100 where swords below that are just trash in our eyes.
I wont tell you my real ranking as you are too weak and im currently sealed so i would tell you currently the power you can release is not even a rank.
There is no known sword ranked 1, it is said in a legend that all the rank 1 swords tried to devour each other to reach rank 0 but failed and split into many pieces and those pieces are us swords.
Thats all i can tell your currently about the basics of the swords.
Shadow just stood there letting the information sink in before reading the next screen about DESIRE.
This is a limited story of my life. There once was a long sword, wrapped with a dark power surrounded by nothingness, a sword locked away, unused slowly piling dust on itself in the middle of an enclosed dark room.
In the past the sword was actually kept with other swords that were far inferior to it (they didnt know), as lifeforms went in to pick a weapon, many saw the sword to be powerful as an aura of darkness was leaking out so many has tried to become the master of such a sword, thinking if they get the sword they will become the strongest.
However all that has tried had died by just touching the sword, unable to withstand the swords power and trial. Soon the lifeforms started to spread the word about it being cursed and deadly unable to be wielded. Because of the rumors all the potential candidates no longer tried to touch the sword as they feared for their life.

Until one day a powerful lifeform had appeared, renowned across the world as the number one sword master disciple
, having talent far superior to his master his master has sent him here to find a suitable sword for himself. As the deposit is where the most powerful swords was kept, in the royal treasury of the sword kingdom.
The disciple however was warned to never touch the long sword leaking the aura of darkness as it was believed to be cursed, the disciple however in his arrogance disregarded his master advice and believed that only he could wield the so called cursed sword. However like all before him he also failed and died, when the news was spread across the world kingdoms united together and sealed the sword within an enclosed room where none can enter.
As the sword lay there piling dust, all it could do was watch the other inferior swords being chosen and having a master, allowing it to achieve its life purposes. As the years go past and the sword being forgotten, the sword started to become envious and jealous of the other inferior swords wandering why is it only him that wasnt chosen, and that other weaker swords was chosen.. Soon the sword started to DESIRE things and broke free of his imprisonment sick of the emptiness he set out without a master to achieve his original mission to become the strongest.
On his journeys not a single life form passed his trial and all died, still wandering without a master his powers was limited. Desire was wandering randomly until one day he picked up on another sword from the same series, desiring its powers he planned an ambush towards the sword. And on that day Desire had devoured Death and taken her powers for his own becoming stronger.
However as Desire was feasting on Death she had sent a message for help towards RESTRAINT another sword whose power was to seal. When Restraint came near the scene it was too late Death had been completely devoured by desire and in his rage Restraint had called his master over to use his strongest ability chains of judgement.
Desire however was aware when he was feasting as picked up on Restraint, so the moment chains of judgement activated Desire had launched his own attack. An attack combined with the power of Death and Desire however without a master its power was halved. As the chains sealed Desire the attack had hit Restraint and his master causing massive damage towards them, which led to the weakening of the seal allowing Desire to escape.
As Desire was escaping he noticed that he could only muster a very tiny portion of his power and was enraged, until he noticed that the seal was actually weakened and that Desire could actually devour it with time slowly but surely. However he picked up on many weaker swords nearing his position, and all of them had chains on them marking them as a servant of Restraint just when Desire was cursing himself for not having a master a screen appeared in front of him. then he disappeared along with the chains on him.
That is the bare minimum of my life i can tell you Master or Shadow what do you prefer me to call you anyway.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Harry Potter and the Seer's Ambition
After Voldemort came back at the end of the triwizard tournament, Harry tried his best to inform the wizarding world that he was back but faced with denial and ridicule, Harry could only fume in anger. Little did he know that Voldemort wasn’t the biggest threat he would have to face. Receiving power from unexpected sources and armed with Information he didn’t expect to have, Harry sets out on a mission to bring the dark lord and his followers down and uncover one of the world’s least known secrets. ============ This novel has been posted on Webnovel, Scribblehub, Fanfiction & RoyalRoad. This story was supposed to be a rewrite of my earlier book, Harry Potter and the Dark Phoenix but the plot ended up so different that I figured I’d just make a new book out of it. I might, at some point in the future, rewrite the earlier book with the earlier plot but that will have to wait for this one to finish. This is an AU so please keep that in mind. Constructive criticism is welcome, needless bashing is not.

The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes.

It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
