Previously on Douxie x OC
Then Gunmar's army attacks.
------------------------------------------------
Mailins PoV:
A few Gunmar's trolls form into balls and while going through the sun, harden to stone, which makes them shoot at us like cannon balls.
They hit a few knights.
"We must hold Killahead Bridge, no matter what nightmares Gunmar throws at us." Merlin says.
The sun sets and Gunmar's army moves closer and closer.
"Knights of the Round Table our battle cry will shake the heavens and awake the old gods to witness. Today, we say no more to fear and darkness! For Camelot and Glory!" Father shouts and we cheer.
"I know the Trollhunter isn't here, but we are! Champions!" Douxie says to Jim, Claire and me. "And when I get us all home, brunch on me!"
"For Camelot!" We all cheer.
"Let's show these blokes the power of wizards!" Douxie gets into a fight stance and the sun fully sets.
We all charge forward with a yell and start battling the gumm-gumms.
I fire spells but my magic alone isn't strong enough. A gumm-gumm charges at me from behind but I don't notice it.
"Mailin, look out!" I turn as Douxie shouts, and he fires a spell at the troll, turning it to stone.
"Thank you Douxie!" I smirk at him and watch as he and Arch take down Trolls together.
I gasp as portal opens and Aunt Morgana flies out.
She fires a spell that knocks us back.
"Morganas returned! She's enemy number one!" Douxie shouts at us.
"Go! We'll hold the bridge." Jim reassures us.
"Hisirdoux, Mailin, with me!" Merlin shouts and we follow him.
We stop in the forest, between ruins overgrown with moss and take fighting stances.
"I feel dark magic." Douxie says while looking around.

"It means she's close." Merlin says and just after that aunt Morgana's voice rings out.
"An old man and a foolish boy lost as always. And look! My dear little niece! Do you dare run? Or face my vengeance?" Morgana teleports in front of us.
Suddenly thick roots wrap around us like hands, holding us down. One impales Merlin.
"Hisirdoux, Mailin, run!" Merlin shouts at us.
We struggle, trying to get rid of the roots. With a spell we succeed, and the roots fall limply to the ground.
Douxie runs in front of Merlin, firing spells at Morgana but she just laughs and teleports away.
I help Merlin pull himself up on his staff while he holds his wound.
"Merlin!" Douxie says worriedly and holds him up "You're injured! Badly."
"Hisirdoux, if I should fall this day..." Merlin says and gives him a scroll.
"Heart of Avalon?" I ask as I look at it over Douxies shoulder.
"Building a tomb? Why are you giving me this?" Douxie asks Merlin confused.
"Foreseeing the future means preparing for the worst of it, including your wounded friend." Merlin answers.
"Jim? What about him?" Douxie asks worriedly.
"The corruption in his heart has no cure. When he returns to the future, it will overtake him." Merlin explains.
"No! No, there must be some other way." Douxie says angrily "I made a promise to them, to Claire, to get them home alive, all of them!"
"Yet, to save time itself, you all must return home, even if it means James Lake will be no more." Merlin says and Douxie sighs sadly.
Merlin continues to speak while we walk again.
"Such is the burden of a wizard to make the hard choices mortals cannot." Merlin grunts in pain and I hold him steady "Now it is yours to bear." We look up at the skull, that is the arcane orders castle, stuck in a cliff.

We walk towards the edge of the abyss and Merlin jumps onto a cage, hanging from the ceiling.
"Morgana, reveal thyself!"
A portal opens and Morgana is standing in front of the skull.
"Look what has wandered into my web."
"These are dark powers you meddle with, Morgana. Who granted them? Who resurrected you from death?" Merlin asks angrily.
"Wizards beyond your ken. You four aren't going anywhere. I have a king to slay." Morgana says as a shadow clone splits from her body. Morgana leaves and the clone attacks us.
We start fighting it. I'm standing next to Merlin, who's weakening more and more, while firing at the clone from time to time. Douxie rapidity fires spells at the clone.
The clone jumps towards us and kicks Merlin and I inside the skull through one of its eyes.
Merlin crashes against a stone and falls to the ground grunting. He pants while trying to get up. Douxie walks over to us, and we help Merlin stand.
The shadow clone forms blades and walks towards us. Suddenly it vanishes in the shadows and the real Morgana is kneeling on the ground.
"Morgana." Douxie says surprised and raised his staff while standing protectively in front of me and Merlin.
My eyes widen in surprise as I hear my aunt sobbing.
She glares at us, tears streaming down her face "It's your fault! You're the reason Arthur is gone!" She shouts angrily.
"What?" Douxie gasps as his eyes widen.
"Gone?" Merlin asks confused.
"What?... no father..." I gasp as tears roll down my cheeks and my lips start to quiver.
Morgana floats up into the air and raises her staff as it glows brightly.
She fires spells at it, but Douxie blocks them with a shield he forms with his staff.
Merlin walks up next to him and forms a shield with his magic as well. I stand behind them, watching worriedly.
"She's too powerful! We have no choice but to seal her away!" Merlin shouts over the booming of the spells hitting the shields.
"I know I'll try to buy some ti-" Douxie says but gets cut off by Merlin pushing him out of the way. A big explosion throws Merlin back.
Merlin and I are now tied up with Morgana's magic.
"Oh, shame! Little Douxie finally gets his staff, just in time to die with it!" Morgana says tauntingly and attacks him, but Douxie blocks her.
They fight and Morgana keeps insulting my husband.
"You can't even wield it! You should stick to your usual tricks."
"Use the power of your staff! Make it your own!" Merlin yells it Douxie.
Douxie blocks Morgana and takes a hold of her staff with one hand and holds his own out behind him with the other.
My eyes widen and I grin as it turns into a red E-guitar that plays a riff.
Douxie jolts it forward and slaps Morgana in the face with it while grinning smugly.
"WOOHOO! YOU ROCK DOUXIE!!!!!"

Blightbane
Miscellaneous Notes: - I want to see about making a crude map of Shroud to help readers. - I also want to get back to writing Coalescence updates. Schedule Notes: - None for now, updates when I can. [ Thank you for your patience and support as I improve my writing and storytelling abilities. I'm also using this story to better develop lore that extends far beyond it. ] Thanks to another exceptionally talented artist, Hiroeth, Blightbane now has an official cover! Vera was alone again. “You’re completely unprepared. Never before has sending one of you off made me feel quite so guilty.” Whenever she found herself in doubt, she would weigh her actions against the guiding principles of the one whom she revered. “When you don’t know the rules of the game, start making them up. When you are constrained by unfavorable conditions, inject a little chaos.” It was the supplementary message that concerned Vera the most. It was difficult to follow because it was intentionally vague and mired in subjectivity. “How can I enjoy myself when you look so tormented? Are we in danger?” Vera fell silent. An experiment is taking place on a planetary scale. Across the surface of the planet, a phenomenon referred to as "Blight" is spreading. Festering regions defended by fierce creatures called “blightbeasts” taint the surface, warping the land and proliferating unceasingly. Among the sentient creatures of the planet, it is the Blightbane Guild’s responsibility to stem the tide. They endeavor to cleanse the land in a struggle of attrition, but they are losing ground. A young man named Caim has been uprooted from his former life and transported to The Shrouded Theocracy, an isolationist nation with fanatical policies. He must struggle to survive with only an unfamiliar strain of magic to aid him. There is a secret to this magic. One he knows very little about. He intends to explore just what makes this magic special. On the far border of the theocracy, a mage scientist named Inis discovers a revolutionary new way to infuse strength from defeated blightbeasts. Using herself as a test subject, this process allows her to grasp magical concepts previously thought beyond her reach. Though she tries to document any side effects that arise, something escapes her awareness. She is playing with a dangerous force that will claim her most treasured asset if she isn't careful. Everyone and everything on the planet is a part of the experiment. The experiment is a lie.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.

Rest in a Demon's Embrace

The Undying Magician
How would a true immortal with average talent in magic fare within a world where magic is everything? In the world of Aria, only a small fraction of the population are classified as magicians.These magicians are able to use magic through the manipulation of the mana they are born with and are the core of the military strength within every nation.However, one nation in particular uses magicians to an even higher extreme than the others.This nation is known as The Republic of Arcania.The largest power in Aria. Our story follows Nathan Fox as he graduates from high school and is sent to the Arcane Academy for his required military training as a magician before he eventually serves his ten year term in the military.Nathan has been a true immortal ever since he got a semi-magical disease that makes any damage done to his body instantly reverse itself, bringing him back to his top form on the day that he became an immortal. Ever since then, it has been impossible for Nathan to die.But there are worse things in the world than death.And if the power-hungry magicians of the world were to learn of Nathan's true immortality?Then he might just experience those things himself. What will happen to Nathan as he traverses life in the academy?Will his secret be found out?Or will he be able to safely make it through the four years of academy life with his secret intact? That has yet to be foretold. The beginning of the story starts out slow for what many Royal Road readers are used to and then speeds up after around chapter 20 or so. It is a school arc, so it is supposed to be slow. Most of the combat and action isn't seen until after these chapters, which you can view as an introduction to the world, the characters, and magic itself. Many of the reviews are outdated due to edits I've been making along the way through the story. Specifically some of the edits going over the world itself, including pointing out in the story some of the things a few of the reviewers missed when they wrote their reviews, along with fixing other things that were pointed out in the story from the reviews and comments. This book is also being edited as it's being written, so some small parts might change as I get suggestions from readers. I do not write harem or sexual content in my stories. Ever.
