Arc 6 - Magick - Part 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(From ‘Noah’ point of view)
I sent out an ‘invitation’ to Nazar. I used magick to send a mental message to him. It was not because I could not contact him in any other way, I used this method to show him that magick is very real as he did not fully believe me when I talked to him last time. I also used magick to place a spell on him so ‘William’ and his people won’t track him. I need to keep our location safe and secret.
We gathered in a building that looks so old you would think it will fall over with the slightest wind. It can change shape and size or it would seem. We use illusions to change the way people see the building. Not many people have seen its original form. This building appears in many different locations but no one can see it as it is cloaked. But there are sometimes where people can feel that there is something. For example, this one time the building accidentally appeared in a middle of the road and there was a car that clashed with it. The driver was dead but the passengers were alive. Just barely. No one knew what happened. We have had our fair share of mistakes when it came to this ‘magical house’ of ours.
We gathered all together in a circle. We placed magical barriers around us, so not even Nazar can see where it is, but he will be able to see it now. I don’t know how he did it but it is possible that he followed the energy trail or maybe he could actually see it. I gave him the coordinates of our meeting place, so I hope he can find it.

As we finished placing extra barriers around the place, we heard a sonic boom in a distance. If it was not for the barriers we placed, ordinary people could hear it for miles.
“He is here,” I told my friends. “Someone go and greet him.”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I left my home on the moon a minute ago and now I am on Earth. The coordinates he gave me, led me to an abandoned building. This building looks different than last time. I can feel different energies but I do not see them and certainly cannot manipulate it. Am I turning into another Superman? I don’t want magick as my weakness.
As soon as I got close to the building, I saw someone standing in front of it. They had a hood on and I could not see their face. So, I decided that I should just follow them. So, as we entered the building, the building started to look different from the inside, much like my own house.
As I entered the building, it looked like the original shape of the building was a circle. I looked around and saw many people, more than last time. There were also many artefacts around the room for some reason. I walked slowly towards the circle and as I got close, they looked at me and smiled. Not sure to be scared or to be happy.
“Ah, welcome.” The old man said. His real name is not Noah so I am not calling him that.
“So, what did you want to talk about?” I asked without hesitation.
“I wanted to show you the proof about magick and how it works.”
“And why would I need to know that?”
“Because you still do not believe that magic exists.”
“You are right, I want to believe it but I cannot.” I do believe that there is an energy surrounding us that I cannot see or use but these people can. Maybe it's magic, maybe it's not.

“Then why don’t I show you some of the things we can do with magick,” he said that while pointing towards his friends.
“Okay, so are you going to pull out a rabbit out of a hat?” I said this in a sarcastic tone.
With a smile on his face, he said, “There is a difference between magic and magick.”
“So, what's the difference?”
“Magic refers to small feats done by performers around the world. They use illusions and different techniques to pull rabbits out of their hat. We, on the other hand, use magick. Magick allows us to manipulate interdimensional energies around us, using spells. People who use magic are often referred to as magician and people like us are usually referred to, as sorcerers.” He explained this in a rather calm tone like a teacher would to their students. By the way, I am not his student and never will be.
“So, where does magick come from?”
“It comes from different sources. Some of these energies come from different dimensions while other forms of energies are formed on Earth itself.” He explained.
“Dimensions? As in alternative universes?”
“No,” he replied. “Dimensions as in the space between 2 or more different universe or places that exist outside of our very own universe.”
“I consider myself to be the smartest guy around and I still have no clue what you are saying,” I said this while scratching my head.
“Look, I will explain it to you using something that you are familiar with, like comics.”
“Why comics?”
“Because you are always reading them.”
“How did you know that?”
“I have been keeping on eye on you too,” he said this while smiling.
“What? Why?”
“Because you if you joined in with William and his kind then we would have looked for a way to neutralise you.”
“NEUTRALISE? ME?” I shouted. “I would like you to try.” As soon as I said that, I was ready to fly out of here and I did just that. But as soon as I left the building, a few seconds later I was back inside the building and I found myself in chains?

No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Monstrous Path
This story is both dark and lighthearted, it will have a lot of deaths and gore scenes but not just for the sake of being edgy or something like that. Every being comes from someone’s life — a womb, an egg, the world, a God, and from itself. Then what about me? I came from a container, so what does that make me? Am I still a being? “I do not know — I want to understand — why?” This was my driving force to live when I opened my eyes, I had no need for food, I only needed to satiate my curiosity. But as I learned early on, life was not as simple as it seemed. Note: The Characters in this world would always have a reason for living, and the world moves not just because of the MC. This would also have a lot of tearjerking scenes (or so I would hope) Culture, Race, Government, and Language can and will be different and though some Races like Elves and Dwarves are present, please do not think that they are the same as every other.
