The Ranger Plane p1
“Three…”
With Ambro shadowing him closely Cassidy charged towards the lapshi.
The splotchy earthen colored aura beast locked its eyes on them and roared. As they charged forwards the floor started to shake violently.
“Careful”
Ambro could feel that some of the lapshi’s life force had been embedded into the large hexagon patterned stones in the floor. Cassidy already in berserk mode had yet to take real notice of the lapshi’s opening move. The floor was shaking, so what? Just like before he had no thoughts of retreat.
Right before Cassidy could step on the trap Ambro stabbed back and down with Soul Branch. He accelerated for a moment when the staff hit the ground behind him. Pushing Cassidy forward before his foot could fall on the hexagon shaped stone probably saved his life.
The Hexagon jumped up behind them with force. At the apex of its jump it began to spin rapidly and then six even sized triangle shards broke loose from the hexagon shooting in all directions. In mid stumble Ambro found his center of gravity and rose Soul Branch up to block.
“Cling~”
“Keep going Cassidy that lapshi can putt its life force in the hexagon stones. We have to stop it before it gets too many going.”
“That would be annoying….really….really annoying… kill…it!”
Stumbling forward before gaining his balance Cassidy once more charged forward. 2 more hexagons shot up and off the floor. The flying shards did not just fly in a straight line. They were controlled by the lapshi’s life force skill on the ranger plane. Seeming to home in on the two invaders these enhanced shards curved and swooped until they ran into something solid.

The further one went along the mysterious way the more control over universal forces one would have. This Lapshi had gained the second plane on the mysterious way.. To compare a lapshi on the first plane could only spread its life force to one other rock form animating one layer of defense and attack. Now as a ranger this lapshi could animate 5 layers.
Raising his hands Cassidy released his first attack and immediately started his second fire orb. The first orb flew fast and skimmed the side of the lapshi exploding from behind it. Pushed forward and badly burnt the Lapshim wa sstill mostly unharmed by the explosion.
Batting away to more triangle shards Ambro urged Cassid forward.
“ Come on we’ll have to get closer to it and fast! “
Looking to the sides two more hexagons were beginning to rise. Cassidy roared with fury but to Ambro he wasn’t moving fast enough. With an additional two hexagons about to split and the threat of more flying around, Ambro made a frantic decision. He would have to kick this beserker.
“Sorry about this Cassidy, if you’re mad take it out on the Lapshi”
Ambro drew back from shadowing Cassidy. Just hopping up a few inches off the stone floor he twisted swinging his center gravity forward. Using the momentum he held on tight to Soul Branch and rammed it into the ground while swing both feet forward.
Cassidy felt himself pushed suddenly between steps. When his foot landed he found himself eye to eye with the Lapshi. Screaming in its face he drew a fire orb into his right hand and thrust it forward into the Lapshi.
The red hot hand struck the Lapshi between the eyes and melted its way to the Lapshi’s core. When Cassidy brought his fingers together grasping the core the Lapshi screamed and fell to the floor. The Lapshi like the stone it putt its life force in floated to move around. Now that core was taken and burned it could no longer live.

All the Hexagons and shards flying around also fell to the floor.
>The Zong Ley Guardian Lapshi has been defeated
> Access to Zong Ley Point: Stone Forest has been granted
Gaining acces to a zong ley point was the equivilant of handing in quests for experience in other games. Only in egress this wasnt so simple.
If this was a typical vr game you woulf start out in a town pick up some easy quests turning them in for a little experience. Those starting out on the mystical way in eGress would have to search for these zong ley points which were all guarded jealously by diffrent types of beasts. In the begining there would bw no other way to advance to the next plane.
Ambro and Cassidy were very lucky to find a zong ley point they could use. For one thing they are rare so to find one immediatley is lucky in itself. Then there is the fact that they found one suitable for becoming a ranger and also guarded by a ranger.
Zong ley points are guarded by and correspond to various levels on the myserious way. So even if you find a zong ley point you may not be able to defeat whatever guards it. Even you manage to defeat the guardians you may find that your training on your path is not enough or that the zong ley point is to weak.
That bieng the case Ambro and Cassidy are the first two to clear a zong ley point. They are also one of the few duos droped from the star gazer ship to actually stick togethere. Beta testers tended to be loners. Even if one or two others were as lucky they were alone and could not overcome the ranger plane guardians.
“Ambro this… this zong ley point is perfect for us.” Ambro had just sat down in attempt to meditate on the zong ley point when Palma appeared.
“Hmm?”
“We of the green aura have a natural affinty for the life and force universal paths. This zong ley point is in sync with those paths and that is why the Lapshi chose to stay and defend this place. Earth elementals use exactly those two paths.”
” So what happens now?”
” You must train here. Use this zong ley point to better absorb life and force energy from the universe.”
“……Ok, why not.”
Ambro closed his eyes and easily entered the state of meditation. He stopped short of astral projection because he wasnt sure how that would work while playing this game.
Once he was completly calm he felt something near his stomach clench and opened his eyes. Ambro found himself inside a large green orb again.
Words appeared in front of him.

The Stolen Shield
Raine just wanted some money. All he needed was enough to get his business rolling. But when he agreed to take a much-needed job from his college friend Levin, he hadn’t expected to get stabbed, shot, and chased at midnight in L.A. with a drunk girl in the back seat of his car. And he hadn’t planned on joining a strange organization based in another world, thanks to which he flies off to a private island to suffer weeks of grueling training and endure intensive foreign language study the likes of which he hasn’t experienced since high school. His friends sold the other world to him as a land of hope and second chances, a simple but beautiful place where he could put his many failings behind him and get a new start. Ignorant, trusting, and naive, he believed them. But they lied. Please note that the story has a slow start (practically all of my readers say this).

Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.

Souls Reforged
The multiverse is slowly being corrupted. Many universes have already fallen into decay. As their worlds crumble the World Lords, ancient beings of immense power, call out to their long-forgotten creator, asking for aid. Their requests are answered, however the form that aid takes is rather, unexpected. They are not given more power or direct intervention. Instead, they get a few handfuls of weak unsuspecting souls in need of endless training, as soldiers. If that wasn’t bad enough. An entity that was ancient before their universe was born, is assigned to keep an eye on the help. The entity in question isn’t exactly happy about it either. None of the parties involved are happy with the situation, but they will have to learn to work together if they want to survive what is coming.
