《Akatsuki (Magi Ja'far X Fem Reader)》Chapter 38

Sinbad
Well, this should've been enough time.
I know that my generals are running out of magoi, so I tell them to take out as many puppets in the hallway as possible in one attack.
Spartos' lance and Sharrkan's sword carve a clean path through the puppets, while Hinahoho and Masrur blast them away.
"Spirit of Rule and Submission, dwell in my body. Come forth, Focalor!" With a wave of my arm, I blast a hole in the wall beside us and whisk the four of them out of the tower. Pale limbs are already rising from the pools of blood behind us. "So you're running away, aren't you? Sindria is surrounded by magicians. You won't get away," says a distorted, guttural voice from among the puppets.
"No. You won't get away," I smirk.
For standing on the edge of a garden wall are two silhouettes. One of them aims a flaming arrow at the hole in the wall behind us. The light from the flames flickers and catches the red crescent around her unreadable (e/c) eyes for a brief second before the arrow leaves its bow.
(Y/n)
I concentrate as much magoi as I can into the arrow before I let it fly. The second it settles itself near one of the packets attached to the wall, the building explodes into angry orange flames and (f/c) light. Trees, grass, soil, and debris are blown away. Just as the garden wall begins to crumble under me, an arm wraps around my torso.
Together, Ja'far and I leap off the wall as it falls away. A sudden force knocks the breath out of us in midair. The explosion, I realise just before we tumble onto the roof of a nearby building.
Yamuraiha
My room shakes. Bottles of spells knock together on my shelves. What was that? An earthquake? No. The shaking stops after a few seconds, but I can't afford to find out what caused it.

"Master, the puppets...they're gone!" one of the magicians says. "Wha-" But his master doesn't get to finish his sentence as I send spears of ice shooting through his chest. "Master!" the two remaining magicians cry out. Screaming in fury, they send fireballs flying towards the shield...or at least try to. They dwindle into ash before they even reach my shield.
"Out of magoi, huh?" I mutter in between ragged breaths. I pull out my last magoi-storing device from my hair and shatter it against the floor. With my last burst of magoi, I make the shield release hot steam, burning any enemies still trying to enter the kingdom.

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.

Legacy of the Sea
Follow five mercenaries on their dangerous journey in a Fantasy Bronze Age surrounding as they answer the urgent call for aid from an old friend. Dive into the realm of Aermorik, meet heroes and traitors, join great battles and deeds of a valour and accompany our mercenaries on their mission. Will they manage to deliberate the city of Alessina and its inhabitants from the terror of a foreign invader? But where do the invaders come from and do they act on their own? What other adventures and personal stories will our ancient mercenaries have to deal with? This story -despite taking place in a pseudo historic fantasy world- is based and inspired by the real world event which is called "the bronze age collapse" where most likely a combination of famine, economical problems and invading tribes which are commonly known as the "sea-people" led to the collapse of most bronze age empires.
