I was created to be a sacrifice to the world, and anytime I tried to take something for myself, the world punished me. My life started on a farm where I worked myself to the bone for my father and sister. All because I had a special talent. Anything I cultivated could miraculously make anyone str...

The team didn’t lead me to Tarrlok’s office; instead, they led me to a series of posts with people tied to them. Young men of all ages were tied to whipping posts while a team of men in unified forces armor pulled a whip out of a brine pool. I could smell the salt and knew the whip would stin...

Korra’s room had become our room, and Tenzin hadn’t said a word against us sleeping in the same room yet. So, while Korra continued her air bending training, I had my own work to do. I sat on her bed and formed every tier 1 spell I knew one after the other dissipating them each time. The book...

No sane person would practice magic. I glared at the tier 0 spell with cracks, rolls, and chips along its edges and a major fractures leading up its spine. A raw nerve connected me to the spell falling apart in my hand, and taizered my nerves with every crack. The second I tried to add the next s...

“Good evening, gentlemen; I hope the show those madmen put on hasn’t ruined your evening. Though I’m surprised, you didn’t kill them yourself after what you did to the werewolf.” The man said.

On my return, the first thing I did was check the calendar on my phone to see how long I had been gone in Earth time. 7 days had passed, and all the missed calls from work appeared on my phone. I was probably fired. Getting another job like I had probably wouldn’t be a good idea. I could be gon...

Walking into a boss battle unprepared wasn’t my cup of tea. Of the three challenges I’ve received so far, one had been conditioning, another had been a boss battle, and the latest one had been a duel. With that in mind, I knew my last fight in the prehistory world had to be an even greater ba...

Drums pounded and elves sang in the stands of a theatre lovingly named the dueling grounds. On a circular platform high in the massive tree that housed the forest elf village, preparations for the duel were underway. Elves of all ages waited in the stands while the most promising warriors beat up...

From my experience, the difference between learning breathing techniques and constant was analogous with cars. If pre-constant sea god breathing was like driving an old Ford pickup, then constant was a hypothetical self-driving nuclear car that could run for a thousand years. I needed a start-up ...

A splash of water woke me up from an exciting dream involving Elorael to an early morning in the forest. The sound of croaking frogs in the early morning echoed throughout the tribe like an alarm clock. Elves moved about their business; some young ones were escorted by older elves, while some lef...

After a long-drawn-out sip of an aging potion, I was ready. My body aged 8 years in a few minutes, stopping at 18. My hair lengthened down to my shoulders, and soon, I stood just over 6ft tall. The softness of youth vanished, giving way to lean muscle and a strong jaw. Even my eyes seemed to glow...

Wooden spears pressed against my back, archers waited mid-range, and the elf answer to wizards waited in the wings. High columns of thick tree limbs formed our path while wooden statues of elven lords and high council members lined my path. In front of me, beyond the seemingly endless mass of woo...

Elven women were slender, but they had curves where it counted. They came in blonde, brown, and black with eyes a bit larger than humans and slightly triangular skulls. Each had a beauty of their own in angular faces and aristocratic noses. Some had exotic irises of bright amethyst, almost glowin...

I tumbled out of my flesh and fell into disorientation as I struggled against the world’s attempt to force me to pass on. The ground and sky spun as I ricocheted without rhyme or reason. Nothing was keeping me in this world other than my own will, and I felt that was shaky enough. For a moment,...

It was a thing of hate and despair born of pain and an endless continuation. There were so many of them, billio...

I drifted in a black expanse filled with endless stars distant and forever out of reach. They were like dreams; by the time their light reached me, they had already burned out. More stars than I’ve seen on earth hovered in the sky like jewels and gold waiting to be plucked from the sky. But, un...

I slept against Iris’s smooth flat stomach. Last night all I could hear were the screams and pleas of dying elves as they slowly digested in Iris’s gut. Brunnera’s leg trapped my legs in place while the distant squeals of panicking pigs slowly woke me up. The last elf died of suffocation, i...

Over hills and through valleys, Brunnera moved at a relaxed jog, crossing paths only a giant child would dare. As we traveled, I felt my body grow lighter until the icy peak of her home came into view, and Brunnera transformed her jog into a ground-shaking sprint. As she moved, the bag containing...

Cinder flipped through the channels as I shortened my build time for my gauss rifle. Transfiguration worked well enough even with my oak and dragon heartstring wand.

It was two in the morning, and I took some time to have a cup of tea while two wizards struggled to hook up 7 magically constructed capacitors to the transfigured frame. Nordic runes covered the piece turned 180 degrees to insulate the weapon. Sweat beaded down the wizard's pale faces as they wor...

I turned a page in my potions text when a change in scenery distracted me. The 10th and final juvenile school appeared out the window as we turned down a bumpy, poorly kept road. Grey walls and barred windows framed the place as what it was, a placeholder for prison. Once the children here were o...

It happened all the time I learned new information, and plans changed.

Raw emotion poured off the man riding the waves of his power. There w...

All the rods were in place, and my test subject hadn’t bled out, yet which was a good sign. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that we are the most thankful for. For example, Jacob Nimrod, the necromancer who enjoyed sacrificing little boys to demons, lay exhausted on his own ritual tab...

When I lined the first rod up just behind his elbow, the necromancer shifted to get free of the point. I waited for him to stop, but he refused; every time I lined up the rod, he moved just enough to ruin my aim. As frustrating as that was, Cinder's trills of hypnosis were getting on my nerves. T...
