《Triple Orb Academy》An Introduction to the World of Zeffernon
Advertisement
Magic, it is a very familiar word, familiar, but also extremely vague.
So far, the only clear definition of magic we have, is that magic is some kind of power that influenced courses of events through the usage of mysterious and supernatural forces. It is a curious thing how we give such a definition to something that is often accepted to be unreal.
For all we know, magic is mostly noted to be unrealistic. It is mostly accepted to be a fabric of our imagination in this world, where the logic of math, science and Truth dominates over everything else. In our heads, we all believe in the findings of science and mathematical proving since science and math has brought humanity closer to certain truths about this world. In some ways, it has brought us closer towards the absolute 'Truth'.
However, there are also other supernatural subjects that we humans often believe in. Strangely enough, these supernatural subjects are things that we cannot explain. Yet, we believe them and even accepted them to be facts or truths, the most common examples of these subjects are religions, luck and even fate.
Even though these are things that lacked logical explanations, we trust them enough in such a way that they are eventually accepted as liabilities, to the point where we occasionally held them responsible for events that happened in our everyday lives. But even as we humans accept all of this, we only accept magic as what it is, a mere subject only to be explored by our own sense of imagination and well prepared tricks.
Yet surprisingly, magic has grown to be a rather popular topic among the masses, both with positive and negative feedbacks. If you look back, Magic has appeared frequently in human history often with dubious reputations.
Magic is initially associated with many folkloric stories and theatrical works, where magic is often seem to be utilized by villainous witches and wizards. In fact, magic is so dubious and untrustworthy that we cannot deny the fact that religious organizations had condemn magic as the devil's instruments, whereby countless witches and wizards have been burned to the stake as heretics during the medieval ages.

As the times passed, there even exist such things called magic cults, questionable organizations where unwelcomed people believed in the absolute existence of magic. But despite all the negative thoughts about magic, the perception of magic changed slightly, as the world progressed and advanced.
Now in it's present times, magic has become something worth as an entertainment value, where it has been used in works of friction and fantasies, as strongly seen in general novels, light novels, comics, manga, anime and games. But despite the change in perception, magic is still something improbable, as no one is able to prove the existence of magic.
But amidst of all the entertainment works of friction, some people feel that it would be nice if the world revolve around magic. If magic does exist and if a world revolving around magic exists, it might prove to be very interesting. If a world of magic exists, we can cast spells, or do things that are way beyond our imaginations, or we might perhaps alter reality to our own image. Some may also find such a world to be adventurous, as it is a world full of unspoken or unimaginative opportunities.
But if you ask me, a world revolving around such an ambiguous subject can be very chaotic. Since magic is something that has no definite bounds, certain things about magic can get pretty dangerous.
Because like all things, magic has its own benefits and consequences. So if you imagine yourself to be in a world revolving around magic, please don't think of it like those manga, comics and games.
Because, unlike what most people speculate about a world of magic, Zeffernon is never so kind.

Loremaster: A Progression Dark Fantasy
Serena had died a Celestial. One of the few who were meant to rule over the vast multiverse. Yet she was inexplicably reborn. Carrying the knowledge of her past life, she seeks to do what her kind does best... rule. Yet, the multiverse isn't what it once was. Mortals aspire to become what the celestials once were, through levels or classes or cultivation. New things that didn't and shouldn't exist. And these mortals are only the beginning of what stands in her way. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Warning: There will be times that morally suspect themes happen. While I have little to no intention of showing them (especially during a Writathon) things like abuse of all kinds (neglect, emotional, mental, spiritual, physical and sexual) can or be implied to have happened. These are played to the horrors such things are, and are treated with the seriousness and aftereffects it would cause. Progression + Cultivation + GameLit + Multiverse + Slow Build + Slow Burn + Worldbuilding + Grimbright + Multiple POVs = Insanity for all. This the first time I am seriously writing an original story. I will be Writing each book in Parts/Arcs (3-6) with mini arcs (3-6 in each arc). Each Mini-arc is 5-14 or so chapters. I like progression stories and I've always wanted to try and write one like a few of the web novels that inspired me. The Game Lit aspects will be more in the background, with focus on other details like dungeons, monsters, loot, morality, and so on. There will be focus on various kinds of progression. Updates 3-5 days a week (Usually weekdays). Chapters will be roughly 1000-2500 words and alternate wildly.

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes
