Every week, news from each continent circulates around the world. Much news was spreading across the world but only a number of five, news caught the attention of the people.
The first one is the battle between great gods that made the central city of the kingdom of Gravastoine almost perish. Hundred thousands of people have die. Many people began to avacuate and take shelter from different towns. The battle between great gods took 3 days. If not for the three ancient gods appearing more casualties will be recorded. The three ancient gods combined their power just to stop the clash between two greats.
The second news is about the young female dragonican that have reached a master level at the age of 8. She mastered her respective styles and she was now at immortal level and stage. News about her declaring that she was the youngest that could rival great gods in the world spread like a wild fire.
The third one is the news about the newest and highest technology and could bring chaos in the whole world. Any puppeteer will love to have. It is the news about a robot emerging. It is the latest nad maybe it would be the last and final epitome of technology. A robot that have mind and like a tamed monster will follow you but unlike monster it doesn’t need to eat and wear artifacts to get stronger because it is a living artifacts.
Then the news about a young human: that used ancient incantation. A large scale spells affecting a whole town. A mortal that is not even at King level using a powerful spell, not just powerful it was also a rare one. Even most of the powerful gods and popular ones that were making names for themselves didn’t know how to use. It is also one of the most powerful ancient incantations. Many people couldn’t believe it and started asking about whom was the one who use it.
And the last news is about the making of a new Kingdom. The kingdom of Woodillow is a kingdom full of willow race. Willow race almost become extinct because of the great gods war but a few days ago they declare war in any of the kingdom that will oppose and recognize them. Their kingdom lays between the boundary of Continent of Atria and continent of Ruthie.

Alcherial Mansion
A week and few days have passed. Hanshen was still lying on his bed unconscious. In the garden of Alcherial mansion you can see two old man and two beautiful ladies talking.
“Elder, what exactly happened here?” Lady Lyca asked an old man with mustache.
“They said that our little Hanshen did this.” Her twin sister Lysa Alcherial said following Lyca Alcherial.
“Ohh! So even you two couldn’t believe it huh?” The elder with eyeglass answered the twin sisters.
“It’s a shame that we didn’t able to record it. HAHA!” The old man with mustache said.
“Elder, what happened? We couldn’t ask our cousin because he was still sleeping but our aunt said that Hasnhen was okay.”

“Could you tell us elders? What about our bet?”
“So in our first bet we won, but how about the duel? Do we have to continue it?”
The twin sisters said to the elders in order.
“I’m afraid that we’re backing down. All of our young disciple would not stand a chance in your little monster.” The elder with mustache said in response to the twins.
“I would send your 25million gold later. Once I return in our kingdom.” The old man with eyeglasses said.
“I would give mine when my attendant arrives here since we would wait for Hasnhen to regain his consciousness.” The old man with mustached said following the first elder.
“Elders, it’s okay to not wait for our cousin to wake up. The doctor said that he was okay and my uncle and aunt say that you can all go home now and they were thankful that you participate in our family event. They are inside now discussing this matter to some of the elders that were still here.”
The twins said in unison.
“It’s okay young ladies. I decided to recruit him in our school or give him a position in our Kingdom.” The old man with mustache said answering the twins.
“Hoho! So you’re also eyeing for him huh?” The old man with eyeglasses said to the first elder.
“Why not? We all saw what he’s capable of.” He said.
“Excuse us elders. But can you tell us what happened? We are really curios. We can’t wait for our cousin to wake up.”
“Yes elders. Even some of the elders inside have interest in him and whenever we ask them they keep talking how great my cousin us forgetting that we ask them what happened. Instead of telling us what happened they tell us what their opinion is.” The twins said to the two elders.
“I understand them young ladies. Haha! Even now disbelief from what happened is inside my head. Haha!” The elder with mustache said to the twins.
“He’s unreal. This is what happened.” The elder began his story about the things that happened.
“He used an ancient incantation that even “the ruler” can’t overrule. All the people in the town heard it and wake up at the same time look at the sky. The whole sky in the town was covered with millions of swords. All of the people began to feel fear, mortals to gods. They watched as the swords continued to multiply and rain upon them.
The great titan of the kingdom of Adellaine used his gravity field to slow down the swords while the ruler used his ruler field affecting the whole town. Halewin Alcherial used dragon awakening that was said to be only dragoncian race can use.
On the otherhand we and the other elders combined our power to create a large barrier to cover the whole town.
If he was able to maintain his consciousness and control that incantation tills the end. Maybe hundreds of people would die.”
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
“The youngest tamer that was covered with dragon scales and has a wing of a dragon on his back appeared in the sky and used dragon roar to its fullest while shouting to warn all the people in the town.
Millions of swords were seen in the sky. Each sword was made from fire, wind, thunders and lightning. It was like a burning thunder that has wind attribute.
It emerged from the sky and bypasses our barriers. The gravity field magic of the great titan slowed down the swords from falling but its power is still there. It has destructive power that can turn all the land up-side down.

When it hits the barrier it creates sparks and formed thunders and lightning from the sword. The movement of the air became unstable. A compressed air that is capable of lifting a building and any infrastructure occurred.
When the swords pass the barrier that we created some explode and creates a powerful blast affecting the town.
Creating whirlwinds and tornado and even storms of thunders and lightning in the town. Some hit the ground and creates a shock on the land. Earthquakes were made and shake the whole town. Because of the ruler field casualties were minimized and luckily no one died.
We thought it was over but when we looked at the sky a million of swords were seen forming and now with a dangerous aura, a dark aura that can even engulf the legendary fire of the phoenix. Unlike the first wave that was like a burning thunder, the second wave was like swords of darkness.
The great titan deactivates his gravity field and now levitates at the ground in a battle mode. He began to chant amplification spell on his body.
While all Alcherial family that were present immediately took car the young Alcherial that have passed out.
In a minute millions of swords of darkness rule the sky and was about to fall in the ground.
We can see the ruler was doing something in the ground while his partner the great titan from Adellaine kingdom was flying together with their disciple, Halewin Alcherial. They were ready to defend from the second wave.
As we saw it forming, I cast a powerful incantation, an incantation that created a field of barrier. Some gods cast enchantment on it to strengthen its defensive strength.
When millions of swords of darkness hit the barrier that we created in a split second it was destroyed completely. But the swords now were weakened. Halewin Alcherial used dragon’s breath to fend off the swords.
Once it touches the swords, the swords explode. Darkness covered the whole sky engulfing any attacks that made contact with it. The titan slashes each dark sword with light attribute thus making the weakened swords nullify the effects.
Some of it passes through us and when it is about to hit the ground an earth skill cover it making it unable to explode. It was like a binding spell but was more like a sealing technique it was earth rule.
Many of the people in the town helped by using their power they attack the dark swords falling from the sky minimizing the damage.
The second wave has ended. We looked at the sky and see many swords were forming again. That time, we feel an overwhelming fear that it was our end. The swords were now bigger and more powerful, millions of swords consisted of dark and burning thunders with unimaginable power.
Then we heard the ruler..
“Incantation Overrule!”
“FUCK! It’s not working just like what I expect from an ancient incantation.”
The overrule skill of the ruler didn’t work then he mumbled few words and began his incantations that can be heard in the whole town. It creates earthquake.
“RULER OF THE LAND GIVE ME THE POWER TO RULE THE HEAVENS. LORD OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD GIVE ME THE POWER TO SHAKE EVEN THE HIGHEST SKY.”
“EARTH GRANT ME THY POWER TO RULE THE WORLD!”
“HEAVEN SHAKER RELEASE!”
Earth from the ground from different part of the town started ascending and began to form a thin surface that covered the whole sky.
The great titan and the young dragon tamer descend from the sky to take cover.
When millions of swords started falling down and hitting the thin surface of the earth but it didn’t explode. A minute have passed we all think that the incantations were nullified and it ended. But then we heard the youngest dragon tamer roaring to take cover. An explosion happened, an explosion that covered the whole sky it creates shock waves and hit the town. Many of the people got injured but luckily no one died.”
The elder with eyeglasses told the twin sisters that were shocked.

Hanshen’s POV
As my consciousness fades away I thought that I died. I began to see pitch black. As I stand in this darkness I can’t feel anything and all I can see is darkness. I began to walk but there’s no changed.
As the time passes by I don’t know how many hours and days I am walking. Maybe Months have passed or even years. I can’t feel anything while walking it’s like my stamina is unlimited.
I walk and walk then walk. I felt that I’m going nowhere. It feels like eternity.
As I was walking I saw a yellow glowing light that motivates me. I run fast to get there, I saw a different world. It was an endless dessert. I walk and walk again. In my way I saw many bones and skeletons of dead men and monsters. Then I saw a village, a village that was full of dead people with burned and decomposing body. I saw kids that looked pale. They were hungry.
I watched, as the time goes by, I noticed that all of them despite of their worst situation didn’t cry. They were dying of starvation, I felt pity and sadness but I know that I can’t do anything.
Then endless darkness engulfs me again. I walk and walk then walk.
I saw a red glowing light, I walked towards the light and I saw a different place, it was sunset in a town, a town that was destroyed by indescribable thing. Dead bodies were on the floor some were alive screaming in agony with missing parts of their body, crying and begging.
Some were creeping on the ground fighting their faithful end and some stay stilled on their last breath. The town is like a sea of the dead swimming in their own blood. As my eyes turn towards the direction of the dead bodies I saw a mountain, a mountain of corpse composed bodies from monsters and people then I saw a single man standing at the top of the dead bodies.
His face are covered with blood and mud. Dirt covered him and made him unrecognizable. His armors are dyed with blood.
He was fearsome. The more you look at him the more you feel fear.
He emits bloodlust that no one can imagine it’s suffocating that even the greatest among the greats would have hard time breathing in front of him.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
As I began to walk towards him the darkness engulfed me again. Then I saw a light, a white light glowing and I raised my hand to reach it, a light that was blinding.
I open my eyes I see a beautiful young lady covered with white glowing light. No words can describe how beautiful she was.
“Are you the almighty goddess of heaven?”
I asked her but she didn’t respond. Then I asked her again..
“Am I in heaven?”
She didn’t reply. As the light glowing in her was fading away I try to reach her and slowly raise my hand. She caught my hand and holds it tight near her chest.
She holds my hand with both hands and I feel softness of her arm and her chest that holds softness and warmness that every man dreams.
This warmness overwhelmed me. Then as I was about to ask something again she pull my body close to her and kiss me gently with her lustful eyes slowly closing. She inserts her tongue and play with mine.
A warm feeling inside me burns a feeling of wanting more.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
