Strength. It decides your fate as well as your life and death. The weak getting trampled, and the strong looks down on the world. The rule of jungles applies in this continent, and no one dares to change it since it was always like this since the beginning.
Arte. The source of a person's power in this world. The innate abilities of the people in the continent are linked to their Arte. There are numerous types of Arte, such as light, darkness, fire, wind, earth, water, etc. Arte can also manifest as many kinds of things. It can be said that the achievement of a warrior closely related to their Arte.

The city of Zenith, second prince mansion.
Night illuminated the sky. Sound of water flowed from the top of the waterfall. Insects were emitting sounds while chirping melody fills the air. One could stay and relax with this serene like atmosphere.
Inside a small hut near the waterfall, there was a young man who was sleeping peacefully in his bed.
"What a relaxing sound. I feel like I could stay and enjoy this forever." Hayden slowly opened his eyes as he was trying to get up. He took his time and stared at the small yet clean room.
"Strange. Where am I? Am I dreaming?" Hayden was a bit confused as he stared at the interior of the room. The furniture looked ancient and one can tell that all these kinds of items were quite rare on earth.

Hayden started pinching his cheeks, hoping that this was a dream. "Ouch, damn this is not a dream. What happened to me? Why am I here?" He started thinking, one can see that a hint of frustration appeared on his face.
"I remembered that I got in an accident before and I nearly died. I was supposed to be inside of a hospital if I survived. However, what is this place?" Hayden stared dumbfoundedly.
Silence enveloped the room. After some time, Hayden thought that something was quite strange. He felt like he was inside of many typical fantasy games that he had usually played before. Well, thinking was useless so he decided to wake up and search the surroundings items, hoping that he could find some clues.
Hayden went to the table where many kinds of books and documents were being kept. He opened the books one after another, trying to read over them in hopes of getting more information. "These writings..." Hayden was startled, he thought he never saw this kind of writings even on earth before, but something strange happened afterward.
"This writing is abnormally complicated, but I wonder why I feel like I can understand it." Hayden was lost in thought. Many strange things had happened, yet somehow he couldn't decipher and comprehend the meaning or the cause behind all of this. Well he thought that it was a pity, but since nothing bad happened to him, he started to forget it and think that maybe sooner or later he will know the truth. But of course, not anytime sooner.
"The only thing written in this book is only a piece of information about one kingdom, the kingdom of Zenith, and it says here that the owner of this book is the second prince of Zenith. Interesting, maybe I will meet him soon." Hayden smiled thinly.

As Hayden was starting to get interested in some books, he noticed that there was a big square, yet old looking mirror in front of his face. At first, he didn't pay attention nor care about it. However, after some time, Hayden realized that there was something odd. He closed the book and began to inspect the mirror.
"What the hell!!!" Shouted Hayden astonishedly.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
