《Prince Of the Abyss》Rails of Memories.
Advertisement
In the pit of the abyss and total darkness, a light shot itself towards Jackel. Slowly a screen came in to view as if it was projected through a film. Standing at the front was a majestically beautiful man with pure white hair and golden eyes. His back arched out two pairs of giant wings.
behind him stood six other winged humanoids, each of them brimming with grandeur and beauty. The seven of them were all decorated with deadly looking weapons. The one with the Golden eyes shouted something inaudible and behind the group, an army of three hundred thousand winged creatures raised with the golden dawn.
The movie played out without censorship, a chaotic battle of winged humanoids killing one another. The one with the golden eyes threw powerful lightings with rapid precision at the oncoming angels. when they got close to him, he freely manipulated gravity and pulled the flying soldiers towards the ground, pulverizing their bodies.
The bloody battle started at daybreak and continued to midday. the entire battlefield was littered with bodies and torn wings. From high above the sun materialized into a glowing body and became an aged man. Every soldier stopped in their tracks, some kneeled in worship while others readied their shields.
The Seven leaders flew towards the Father sun, throwing every magic they knew at the iridescent being. yet they were all brushed away with a flick of his finger. The golden eyed raised his mighty sword and slashed at father sun, but the sun grabbed his swords and shattered it. With absolute power, Father sun sent down his gravity and the seven leaders were shot down to a kneel. But the golden eyed resisted and stood against the absolute gravity with his own.
"This revolt saddens me." The Father sun said with sincerity

"You call yourself our Father, yet we are more like pawns to your game. Your rule is tyranny!" the golden eyed spoke.
"No my morning star, It's what you carry in your soul that is a tyrant." "For your sin, you will rise and fall in countless cycles, slowly losing your grace."
The memory faded out and began to play many little scenes simultaneously. At the center was always a figure made of shadow. One scene showed the figure being worshipped by primitive man as he was handing them a torch. Another showed him sitting on a royal throne as a great tower was being erected in front of him. yet each scene shows the figure losing power, he eventually began to turn ordinary and slowly deteriorate. The figure eventually fell to a beggar, dying in the snow at a more modern age. In the final scene, the figure played out the life of Jackel, a mentally ill teenager struggling with psychosis.
Suddenly, all the scenes being played got sucked into the shadow figure and it turned to face Jackel.
"These are my memories to which is the Pandora of your heart" The figure spoke.
"who are you?" Jackel asked the shadow.
"I am known as many, you can call me Lux. I am in essence, you."
"are you saying I was all those memories?" Jackel asked
"In a way, they were you, but somewhere along the line, your separated from the memories and created me. However, It's now time to own up to your history, we are close to our finale. " Lux replied
"I don't understand!" Jackel protested.
"The point of it this time is to be blindfolded as you face your redemption. As you have seen, you have failed too many times"
" You are being cryptic" Jackel complained
Lux began to fade out
"wait!" Jackel cried
However, Lux became a brilliant white light and completely left Jackel in the dark.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
