《The Egotistical Mana Spirit》City of Tash
Advertisement
Nobrow arrived at the capital city of the Qalampirian Kingdom, the city of Tash. He had entered during the deep night where few people roamed the dusty wide streets. He entered through the main front entrance, two extremely large doors were used as gates and it took at least a couple individuals to open them up.
The guards still operated during the semi quiet night along the large sandstone city walls. Normally people wouldn't be able to enter the city during the night, but because Nobrow was alone, carried little, and was a Mana man offered him easy access. Throughout Senaisa most urban settlements gladly accept the highly intelligent Mana race. Not to mention, it was the kingdom's policy to get every advantage in inviting high skill immigrants due to their tolerant stances on religion and backgrounds.
Yet outside the city it isn't likely that every person would appreciate a Mana person. In the Kingdom of Qalampir there are plantation estates that produce spices and other normal farm foods. These plantations are large manors that are common along the coastline, but independent farms and villages that aren't in the influence of the aristocrats are regular farmlands and can't afford to grow and sell spices because of laws that favor the wealthy. Yet these aristocrats regularly live in the capital of the kingdom and while they aren't the nicest bunch to the rest of the society, they end up proving their worth to the throne. In fact, Qalampir is renowned for being a merchant kingdom, so merit plays a large role in the society. Unlike almost every corner of Senaisa, Qalampir promotes and values individualism.
There were little people about the normally full streets of the night, but it was still impressive that the city was still somewhat active during the night. Half the people outside in the night were guards inspecting every corner in case of a thief was sneaking about or maybe a fight would break outside a restaurant. The other type of people who walked the streets could be called errand men. Those were people who had to deliver messages or goods to scheduled locations when there was space in the night to move around.

Nobrow felt safe enough to be worry free. In fact, he felt safe because he was too tired to worry about his safety. He had entered a fancy inn that was in a well to do part of town that is near the town center and the palace. An Amine receptionist came up to the Mana to ask what he wanted, after a short moment of discussion, she led him to his room at the end of the building. The inn was made of clean-cut stone bricks with a white marble looking floor, many pillows and tables were spread out on the bottom floor. The room Nobrow would be staying in had a window out into a tiny balcony, he was on the second floor alongside several other rooms.
"Civilization... finally" whispered Nobrow while simultaneously falling down to the thick carpet below him.

Wars were lost. Now the power risks falling into the hands of a single God. What would the people do if they knew? Knew that the gates to heaven had been slammed shut. They couldn’t even see the blood pooling beneath their feet. They had to do something, anything, to appease the gods. Rarfu was a city long known for being the center of the world. It was the city where the gods came together, and their Temple's stood amongst each other in the grand state. However, the many temples' priests had grown ignorant to their God's silence, unaware that one by one they were dying off in a war of the Heavens. Cors, the Grand God of the Sun, the father of life, had become corrupt and jealous, wanting to wrench power from all the other gods. Tillia, the Goddess of Magick and Shadow, the only God to be able to stand up against Cors, uses her dying breath to reach out to her temple for help. Knowing that Cors has made his final move to walk amongst the humans, she gives her Essence, the core of her power, to Nethira, young girl of her temple. With her remaining strength, Tillia gives Nethira a single command. To save the balance of power she must appease him. UPDATES TUES/THURS after chapter 5 Cover art by Tumblr User: @pigeon-princess This book features characters that are related to in many ways to my other novel "Grimoire". While both stories are their own stand alone series, Sun God's Corruption will add a good amount of depth to Grimoire, and Grimoire shows the unfoldings of the world that will eventually come from the events in Sun God's Corruption. I reccomend reading them both interchangably.

There Is No Mana In Space
The origin of mana has always been a mystery. It only deepened when magic and technology combined. When the first spaceship broke orbit, people were ecstatic only to fall silent when the spaceship simply stopped working and crashed back down.

All of the ship's systems had failed because it relied on ambient mana to work.

They live, they level, and they learn. But still, the origin of mana is unknown, and puzzles the scientists of the world even more. Some planets have it, like Dust, while some have none. Why this is, no one knows… — Chapter schedule is MON / WED / SAT Happy reading and enjoy!
