"Nexiara..."
:
"What?.."
:
"Yuzu.. we are at Nexiara.."
:
"It.. it looks exactly like ours... but a bit different? Why is everything on the ground"
:
" Nexiara is the complete opposite of Azumore, however yours is mirrored.."
:
"I see.."
:
"So, why did my portal bring us back here?"
:
"We are not supposed to be here.. it's dangerous."
:
"We've been here before, Xal was able to come in this world whenever and wherever he wants it."
:
"Who is xal.."
:
"He sounds like a mean guy.."
:
"Xal.. is a demon who lives in Seulgi.. she is the person you sold us out to."
:
"Oh. I—"
:
"I know you didnt mean it.."
:
"T-thanks.." she smiled
You're being too close to her Yuzu.
I.. I am just trying to—
You know she can still kill you.. so keep distance.
I know..
Trust no one Yuzu..
She clenched her fist as she stares across the horizon. She turned to watch Sana and the other Elites and that they seemed worried yet surprised, having a quick conversation about Nexiara. She breathed deeply.
:
Sana..
***
The gang began walking towards the front of the woods towards the city as the night falls.
:
"Well?.. we really are in Nexiara right?"
:
"Yeah.. and if the girls are with the others.. one place they'll find us is at Arcane."
:
"So.. We are going to Arcane right now?"
:
"That's where my portal is.. the last time i remember. and if Taehyung is a portal.. To who do you belong?"
:
"I— dont know.."
:
"I see."
:
"How bout we find a place to stay.. it's already dark, and I am sure the city is a few more blocks away"
:
"I guess that's smart enough." she then casted a small hut for the gang to stay

:
"Why cant we just fly? geeze.. you humans sure are stupid" she began jumping without thinking and her flight just dropped her down back to the floor.
:
"Yeah. You— don't belong here, and neither does the girls, your magic wont work in this world"
:
"WAIT! you mean i am stuck.. like this?!"
:
"Until we get out of this."
:
"But why do you have magic?!"
:
"Rose is a Demon, they bend the rules."
:
"That's unfair!"
:
"Well, isn't the king a demon too?" and the girls began to turn towards Yuzu.
:
"Me?"
:
"you...you can try?"
:
"You're a king? Wha—"
:
"I dont think so"
:
"Try Yuzu"
:
"Tsk." Jungkook began to walk behind him softly
:
"Competition?"
:
"Whatever. This is my world."
:
"Yet Sana, is still not in your grasp"
:
"She opened my portal"
:
"Just cause she is the key"
:
"Ugh! Shut up!" Jungkook smirked as he taunted his friend
Yuzu then began to cast a small magic spell, a light had lit up, but suddenly faded in mid air
:
"Nope. Can't cast it" The gang felt disappointed
:
"Hmm, well i guess the king is not in you huh."
:
"Guess not. Im sorry"
:
"It's okay.—here, let's stay in here just a bit." She casted a small cottage with a fireplace for everyone to rest cozy by the forest hilltop— where the city is seen on full view under the moonlight
Sana is found to wake up in the middle of the night as she sees someone outside of the window panes, staring up at the moon and onto the city.
:
"Taehyung?"
:
"Ah.. Sana— Can't sleep?"
:
"No.. not really"
:
"I see." He sighed
:
"You?" She walked closer to him and sat by his side onto the edge of the hill

:
"I can't either"
;
"I see" she breathed the cool air and sighed
"well..."
:
"You got something in mind?"
"Hmm.. When you said you were a portal, did you know Nexiara?"
:
"Not at all, this is my first time here. Thanks to you"
:
"Ah! Right.. that.. that k-ki—"
:
"You were my key Sana.."
:
"Ah."
:
"I don't know why or how, but you were. You unlocked me in this beautiful world that is mine to own." He smiled
:
"I dont understand how i became a key, or the other Elites"
:
"It's the way how it is Sana. You are a part of something bigger, and the six of you combined, must be a bigger piece than Nexiara will ever be.— I.. am just a piece of the puzzle" he smiled
:
"I see.."
:
"All i know, i am not supposed to be here, i am not supposed to exist."
:
"Dont say that?"
:
"It's true.. hence why meeting you, is such a gift and a curse" Sana sighed
"I— really did like you Sana."
:
"Why do you?"
:
"Something in my heart tells me.. and that something just beats for you and you alone. It's weird.. but i already knew, i was destined to meet you"
:
"Oh Tae.." He sighed as he gently placed his hand over Sana's with a gentle smile placed onto his face.
:
"Will you still remember me when im gone?" He smiled
:
"I—"
:
"It's not possible."
:
"What?"
:
"Cause when I am gone, I dont even exist.. it's not possible you would remember me even when i— myself, Don't even exist..—"
:
"Dont think that way, of course i would remember you"
:
"I hope. A nobody like me, is not worth being remembered at all— I don't even remember who i was.. and you seemed to know who i was right?"
:
"Taehyung.. you—"
:
"So you do know me.." Sana nodded hesitantly
"I can't believe i met you twice.."
:
"Yeah.."
:
"So Yuzu... you knew her?"
Just in the midst of their conversation, Yuzu unknowingly got out of the cabin without being noticed as she hid by the bushes— Eavesdropping
:
"So Yuzu... You knew her?"
:
"Y-yeah.."
:
"So.. i guess you knew us all didnt you."
:
"Mostly, but all, yes." Taehyung sighed and smiled as he looked calmly onto the dark velvet sky
:
"Say Sana.." Sana replied with a hum in question
"What was I like?"
:
"Huh?"
:
"When you met me.. what was I like?"
:
"Well.."
:
"Was I a bad man?" He smiled and Sana hesitantly nodded
"I see.. that explains why you act the way you do around me"
Sana couldnt say anything but she kept a smile on her face.
:
"What about Yuzu?"
Yuzu who was hidden by the bushes immediately kept her head up the moment she heard her name was called
:
So she does know you
Shut up.
:
"Yuzu.. is different."
:
"What do you mean.."
:
"She was my.." she sighed
"She means a lot to me, and i just hoped i gave so much just for her."
:
"What do you mean?"
:
What do you mean?
:
"Yuzu... she.." she paused and tear dropped onto her eye
"She was my Tzuyu."
:
"Heh. I knew this much.."
:
What!
So it's true?
No, I am not, I am Yuzu
But
I am not Tzuyu, I'll never be

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

What Lies In Between
Earth is on the tail end of its recovery after suffering near-apocalyptic events. Catastrophic storms and sudden, dramatic shifts of the tectonic plates almost destroyed modern society. And to make matters worse, a mysterious disease that would later become known as the Deep Sleep Syndrome swept through the population. Penthus Argyris is one such person affected by this illness. Abandoned by his mother—his last living relative—he wastes away in a hospital ward. It was lonely, but Pent had grown used to it. He no longer dreamed of traveling across the earth to explore the ruins of the fallen nations; the world outside his sterile white cage was all but a distant fantasy. Pent had all but come to terms with his lot in life—that is until his adopted cousin showed up out of the blue with some surprising news… News that would shake the tentative foundation that Humanity had only just managed to piece together.
