《The Titanic Fanatic》Chapter 5 - A New Obligation
Advertisement
John stayed silent. He wanted to ask so many questions about what he just witnessed, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak. Watching this friendly Titan fade away into Tartarus, John was shocked.
Throughout his visions, he had never seen, but only very slightly felt some of the unspeakable horrors placed in Tartarus. Some ancients beings were so powerful and so savage, that only the Primordial God Tartarus himself could suppress them in his domain.
One thing John did know, however, was that Coeus and most of the Titans did not at all belong there. In fact, John thought that Tartarus was actually the perfect place for a monster like Zeus. As John was thinking, he heard Coeus’ voice in his head, even though his body was almost completely gone.
I have shown you all that I was able. I trust that you can make the correct the decision for Mankind, and even the Universe, from here. Coeus said.
“I want to help. Truly, I do... but I can’t. I am just a mere mortal. I saw the power that the immortals wield. What am I supposed to do?” John implored.
You are no longer a mere mortal, my boy. You now have the Power of a Titan running in your veins. However, it will take time for you to learn how to use this power to its fullest, Coeus revealed in John’s mind.
John’s eyes widened in surprise and shock. “What? The power of a Titan? That’s impossible! I’ve seen what your kind could do! You could move mountains and destroy kingdoms!” John exclaimed. Quickly, John realized that his emotions were taking over and quickly regained his composure.
He focused and cleared his mind to the best of his ability. The last thing he should do at this point is doubt this Titan, who had shared his life’s most important experiences with him. He wanted to feel this power.

He tried to feel it, concentrated on the Titanic Power pulsing through his veins... but he felt no different.
Until the moment he did.
It was nothing much. Just a little flicker of sorts that he felt in his mind. If nothing else, this flicker gave him the indication that he contains extreme power, but he is unable to harness it at the moment. John didn’t quite understand how he came to this conclusion, but he trusted it. John guessed it was probably gut instinct.
Regardless, he turned his attention back to the fading Coeus. The Titan was almost gone, but John could still feel him in some way. As if... he was feeling the very essence of the being that is Coeus. But not just him. John felt another presence as well, and it seemed very familiar.
Realization dawned on him. Rax! He’s still looking for the exit! But then another realization dawned on him. I can feel other being’s presences now? John inferred, this Titanic Power is truly real!
If John didn’t fully believe any of this was happening or that he was gifted power, he sure did now.
But he still had one question. “Why me?” he asked to seemingly nobody, as at this point Coeus had all but disappeared. “Out of all the people in the world, why me?”
Surprisingly, the last vestiges of Coeus was still there to give him an answer, albeit a vague one. I was searching for a potential savior from the moment my essence escaped Tartarus temporarily. I then had help from a friend who gave me enough time to find one: you. You were the only human that I found in this world that was intelligent, driven, and reasonable enough to bear great power, while having a burning desire to be a great savior of humanity at the same time....

At this moment, John felt the last of Coeus return to Tartarus.
He sighed. I only wanted to save humanity from its own utter stupidity... Never in my wildest dreams did I expect that I would have to save humanity from the one that claims to protect it!
John looked up at the black ceiling, and slowly he started to see through it and saw the stars beyond, gazing into the night sky.
Now, he makes a decision that changes the course of his life forever.
"Zeus, I will destroy you! I will show the world the truth and set everyone against you! I will bring back the Titans to rule the Universe and bring about a new Golden Age! Zeus, Mark my Words!"

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

[Archive] Legend of the Nameless Hero
A WhiteSamurai original Web Novel There are always the mysterious tales of heroes, those who fight against the Demons, who fight for justice and those who head mighty quests against tyranny. Heroes that are born to destiny, Heroes that are forged through tragedy, and Heroes that are brought to the world in times of great peril and strife. Not all true Heroes are wanted or beloved, but all life understands, that throughout all time and space, for those who truly stand as Heroes, they never need to be called one. The sands of time are the only true judge for those who journey upon the true path, the only one they will ever need. This is the tale, no, the Legend, the Legend of the one who throughout all time, would forever be, the First Hero. This is Their story, a story of true hardship, of a sorrow greater than any other that would stand as a symbol of inspiration no matter the test of time. A tale of darkness, a true curse, an impending evil hidden beyond the horizons that threatened the very future of existence. This is the tale, of one of the few great figures, who, in the face of true evil, continued to stand. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Disclaimer: _______________________________________________________________ . . . All Chapters are subject to sudden revision, scrapping, or complete removal from the canonical storyline. The author of "Legend of the Nameless Hero" uses RoyalRoad as a method of experimentation with genre's and writing styles for Fantasy-style works for the sake of eventual publication. The end result isn't to release perfect chapters on RoyalRoadl, but eventually develop the story as intended using the best material to produce the highest quality work. The best mentality when reading works from WhiteSamurai is to see it as the ability to read and review pre-release transcripts or "Rough Copies" before publication. Viewer discretion and maturity are both requested and required. . . . _______________________________________________________________ :About: _______________________________________________________________ . . . This story follows direct character point of views along with an intentional third person narrative to explain to the readers what the characters won't. (I don't use my characters to go give extensive explanations for every last thing like EVERYTHING DOES) This tale shall encompass the life of the Hero from the moment she is summoned into the Kingdom of Kremor, to the Legendary Final Clash. This isn't your run of the mill hack and slash raise an army and conquer, I don't follow that bandwagon. Real life holds politics, intrigue, economics, structure, populations, civil opinions, history, psychology, heart, suffering, wonder, advancement, curiosity, ambition, and so many more things that would lead to me hitting some character limit. I refuse to take the same route that others use by simply ignoring these factors, my worlds, my stories, are as real as they get. There's no plot armor here, if someone screws up, they've screwed up and there's no magical sword in a well for them. I write in 'Seasons' not 'Books' as many often do, these are generally, not always, hundreds of chapters long, though as I have yet to finish a season, the average length is in the air. I go by an ideal of what I call 'Universal Lore' which includes the policy that things that exist within the story don't follow the rule where the Protagonist needs to be there so that it will happen. There will be some things that will happen, and the hero, and sometimes the reader, won't know happened until they enter a place, or news gets to them. A person needs to be in the right place at the right time, I hate plot holes and meta characters above all else... For my works, comments are practically demanded as reactions, thoughts, and various viewpoints are like sweet fuel to my writing spirit. Reviews are highly accepted and appreciated, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE EDUCATED AND THOROUGHLY EXPLAINED. Those that throw down a low rating ARE HIGHLY REQUESTED to extensively detail and explain their viewpoints on the work. They should also be willing to come back to the work at a later date if messaged by the Author, Me, due to issues they mentioned being taken care of. I'm never against scrapping a chapter or rewriting several paragraphs if there are character or story discrepancies. I want the highest quality work possible, and every comment, every review, are tools for me to use to further that goal. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Status: (Ongoing)
