《The Inventor of Magic》16: Getting a Lift
Advertisement
When I said two SHORT chapters I meant it. Here we are number 1 of two. Enjoy! ^O^ (another chapter at 9:00)
>>>Zach POV
Okay... What is she doing? For the past few minutes all Lucy has been doing is talk to someone on her holo-phone.
"Ummm, Lucy.",
She looked at me and put a finger in front of her lips as if saying, "BE QUIET!!", or something like that. I got the message anyway and promptly shut up.
[Sound]
...
...
I'm not eavesdropping okay?! I'm just testing out the array alright. Testing...
"Yeah, so can you come in the car instead?",
"If I must. But why are you getting someone else a lift when you met them only two days ago?",
"We're co-workers so we have to help each other out, OKAY?",
"Y-yeah, I'm on my way. See you in a few minutes.",
*beep*
Lucy slowly lowered her hand and placed the holo-phone back into her hand bag before turning back to me just as I finished eves- Er, testing my array.
"So, it's settled.",
"What's settled?",
"My Dad is going to give us a lift home in his car.",
"Why?",
"Because I can't have an employee of mine walking home. It would be a disgrace to the company!", Lucy said proudly as she puffed her chest out.
Wait did she just call me an employee, am I demoted? Is she promoted? Ugh, I don't know. The thing isn't even worked out yet and it's already this complex! I'd hate to see it in a week...
"But first you'll eat dinner at my house.",
"What!?", I didn't hear this part of the conversation.
"It's fine. We can discuss our lesson idea over dinner, that is if you'll excuse my parents, and afterwards I'll get my Dad to drive you home.",

"Can't we discuss it tomorrow?",
"No. You're coming in the car with us. As I said, I won't have an employee of mine walking home.",
"*sigh* fine.",
"Yay!",
---
10 minutes later
---
Lucy was showing me this game she has on her holo-phone. It's called Whack-A-Mole XTREME!!! I won't explain the game but if those moles were real I'd have multiple court cases on my hands.
*Honk* *Honk*
"Oi, Lucy! Over here!", Oh no, I recognize that slightly annoying middle-aged voice...
"Dad!",
A car pulled up next to the pavement where we were standing and sure enough in the drivers seat was the man himself, Richard.
This car was actually my birthday present to him last year, unfortunately my birthday was after his so I bought him this car before he bought people to beat me up in my own home as a joke.
It's quite a nice car if I were to say so myself. It was an older model green jaguar with white accents on the wheels and white leather seats. I picked it because I liked it and I knew that I could easily get it back off of Richard whenever I wanted.
"Come on get in you two.", Richard said plainly whilst he looked at me with amusement. I glared back at him as I seated myself next to Lucy in the back seats of the car.
After we had put our seatbelts on Richard suddenly revved the engine and the car shot off towards their house.
---
An awkward car ride later.
---
Finally we arrived at the Improm's house. In actuality it wasn't a 'house' at all but more like a mansion! Why an accommodation need this many rooms I'll never know. They even have butlers and maids and all that stuff! Oh well, I suppose giving people jobs isn't a bad thing.

I've visited here a few times before when I needed to secretly give him a new array or he called me over, things like that.
I also came one time on Halloween and painted a freaky blood handspring on his studies glass window with some red machine paint I had lying around. That was quite the enjoyable experience.
His face when I told him it was a prank! Ha ha, just thinking about it now makes me laugh.
Anyhow, I've never been here public all you and I've never been here and seen Lucy or Richards wife before but now one of those is checked off of the list.
The car drove up to the big metal gates of the driveway and after tirelessly sending the password to the receiver via his holo-phone, Richard drove through the gates and parked off to one side.
"Lucy, you go take your friend to the dining hall with you so you can talk about whatever it was you wanted to talk about while I go ask the chefs to prepare dinner early.",
"Yes Dad, come on Zach. I'll give you a tour.", suddenly Lucy grabbed my wrist and started dragging me to the front door and inside the house.

The Oscillation (No Swearing)
It was an average day in Miami—then fractures in the sky appeared. A pulse from those cracks altered the population; some people's biology changed while others received magical and supernatural powers. After the chaos, the political drama ensued, followed by the discovery of portals that brought deadly creatures. They called this event "The Oscillation" and it changed Rachel's life forever. Note: I've received some feedback that people don't like the foul language. This also included my mother, she wanted me to make a cleaner version for her. So, I thought I might as well release it alongside the more explicit version. I went back and rewrote the parts that have profanity in them. ^_^7 Cover Commissioned From Likesac ^_^7

Sun God's Corruption
This is the world the gods have turned their backs on. Even these creatures, these holy divine beings, can be overwrought with greed. Amongst themselves, amongst their factions, wars were fought. 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.

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
