《Creator of Worlds》
And so, I Was Abducted and Given a World to Control
I am Julie Larkenbottom, I am just your average, black haired kid with grey eyes, skin that doesn''t stand out nor a body that would make any boy turn his headm but I was known.
The town of Aurora in Colorado was a small quiet place, nothing much happens here but my parents like it that way.
Growing up here my entire life made me yearn to see the outside world, so I drew and imagined what I would see beyond the rolling grasslands and desert around me.
Maybe a mountain so tall it pierced the skies. Or an ocean as deep as the core. A hidden world underneath my feet. A civilization above the clouds where no one can see them. Oh how I yearned to see them. If they exist of course.
So the story starts where I am walking home from school, when a truck comes barreling down the street right toward me.
I barely had time to look at it when it was already in front of me ready to flatten me into a meat patty when a tall slender man grabbed me and carried me away, avoiding the truck at the last second.
My mind was not processing what was happening when the man asked me something. I didn''t hear what he said but I nodded my head to signal I was okay.
The man smiled and a sudden flash appeared and everything went dark.
Sometime later I woke up to find myself in a room, it was very bright, simply decorated with minimum furniture and no doors.
"Where am I?" I thought and a voice replies to me.
"Welcome to my domain, I am the being you know as God" the voice replied.
"Is this real, is this a dream?" I asked, my head hurt trying to process all this information.
"It is very real, you almost died from a truck, the legendary, sending people to another world truck at that, I will make sure Truck-Sama try to do that again" God laughs and then said,
"If your wondering why you are here, it is because you agreed to be a world creator, nothing to it, just make a creature or plant, put them on the planet and watch it."
"Hold up-Hold up I am to make a planet?" I was awestruck at what he just said. "How can I do that?"
"Simple, you see that number on the wall, the one hanging over the sphere in the center?" God asked pointing toward a huge globe in the center of the room. Nodding my head he proceeded to explain to me, "Well that is all your points currently, 10 Million points is a good starting amount as life is very expensive to maintain"
If you come across this story on Amazon, it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it.
"Mind giving me a tour of what the other things do?" I asked.
"Of course, but your taking this surprisingly well, most people would have called me crazy and tried to do anything to escape, one even jumped into the globe, that idiot" God smiled at the thought and looked at each of the furniture and before he even let me speak he set off to the nearest one.
First was a shelf of books "This is where we keep all possible building blocks for any specie you might create. you can even mix and match what you find. Anything new will also pop up, it will give you a summary of what they are, attributes, weaknesses, skills, abilities, you name it." God explained
Next up was a table with many tools on it. "After you research what you want to look up, this is where you create the specimen in question, it should take a little getting used to, but you should have it down in no time flat" God gave me a thumbs up and proceeded to the third object.
"Here we have world builder, type of environment , weather patterns, even moons/planets will be here at your disposal." God points to the different screens that were part of the station. "These panels can show you specifics, If you want to follow a certain creature, have a quick status report of each being, you name it"
"We also have the huge globe in the center but that is just magnifying what the true planet is" God exclaimed and reached into the globe and plucked out a small sphere.
"This is your planet, right now it is bare but you can work on it" God said, gleaming with a bright aura that almost blinded me. "Alright, I will see you in an Aeon, Oh yea, the bed over there is for when you don''t want to do anything, just set up how long you want to be out for and it will be that long, The fridge will give any food or drink, and remains disappear after your finished, excrement will automatically disappear so no worries" and with that he disappeared.
Now That I Have Power, Where Do I Begin?
After God decided to leave I was left stranded in the room, while holding a tiny sphere.
"He said that this was a planet?, looks like a random stone to me"
With the exception of it being a perfect sphere, with no cracks, indents, juts or the sorts, it was just a rock.
Maybe If I added water, it would look more like a planet but first let me try something and I brazenly smashed the rock against the wall.
"Alright so It breaks with force" I muttered, considering the multiple shards that were in my hand.
I sat down at the table with the [World Builder] and placed each shard on a panel "Make them perfect spheres please" I asked the table and with a *Ding* out came a large sphere surrounded by 5 smaller spheres.
Ahh perfect, should I name them? Maybe I should, calling them moon 1-4 will be boring.
Okay your names will henceforth be:
Jugganautilus: A large moon, it is a perfect sphere
Nekindoar: A medium moon, it is a perfect sphere
Aeriola: A small moon, it is a perfect sphere
and Terra-Colant: a medium moon, it is a perfect sphere.
I laughed at their descriptions but it can''t be helped, I did make tell the [World Builder] to make them perfect spheres.
As for the large planet, I decided to call it Aethereon.
To make each and every one of them perfect spheres costed me a whooping 2 Million points. I was shocked by the amount used up for a simple task. I decided to design each planet based on their name.
Jugganautilus had an underground ocean, no life as of yet
Nekindoar had a magma core heating the surface. Given an atmosphere to contain the heat.
This narrative has been purloined without the author''s approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.
Aeriola had blasting winds blowing across the surface, I had to spend points on developing an atmosphere just to keep this feature active.
and Terra-Collant was perfect in the earth attribute but as Colant means clinging, I set up a heavy field of gravity
As for Aethereon, since the moons rotated around the planet, they influenced it since it got close for a certain period of time. I gave Aetheron an atmosphere, mass amount of air, carbon, sulfer, a bit of oxygen, and a particle of energy I decided to call it Aether.
I gave Aetheron some gravity, and a magma core, I also gave it a weather system where it alternated between, heat, cold and windy.
I lounged back from my work and observed the planets. Not much has changed but Aeriola had tiny particles that have lifted from the sphere of the planet and started to clump together.
Now I changed my thoughts to the thing that mattered the most, Life. I looked forward to add it but I understand that I can''t do it rashly.
I went over to the book shelf and looked at each of the plants I could make.
Ferns. Fungus. Trees. Mosses, Weeds, Flowers, Bushes, all the sorts.
I decided to make a simple tree species with durable bark and fanned out leaves. As well as a Moss that ate the nutrients in the soil. I made a variant of earth''s Seaweed that made it sticky, and planted these seeds in all of the spheres.
Satisfied with my work I went over to the bed and laid down on it. "Wake up in 1,000 years please" I commanded and closed my eyes.
Some Plant, Maybe Animals, Who Knows?
I woke up from my slumber quite tired, I yawned a bit and stretched looking around while scratching my.... I''d rather not say.
I got dressed and looked over at my world in progress.
Here is a status report:
Currently 3 plant species exist and they are:
Earth Eating Moss, Hardwood Tree, and Sticky Seaweed.
Planting the three type of seeds on the four moons and Aethereon and was met with quite a surprise.
Jugganautilus-
The water moon, Moss has eaten away the earth to the surface of the planet creating a crumbling hole revealing the underwater sea to the surface and to the vacuum of space.
Since the planet has no atmosphere, the water is drawn out and at the mercy of space, but since Terra-Collant was nearby at the time, a partial gravity is formed, making a ring of water that surrounds the planet.
The trees, which require water, but also needs air, was unable to survive in such a place and is such extinct. Sticky seaweed floats in the water ring and the bottom of the sea. Earth Eating Moss still eats away at the surface.
Nekindoar-
The fire moon, Earth Eating Moss eats at the surface, creating holes in the ground, which the magma core uses to vent to the surface.
Mountains, and volcanoes now sit in a sea/ocean of lava. Sticky Seaweed grows simply using ash as fertilizer to grow.
Lava is the main form of liquid to grow with. Hardwood trees are long, and white, and almost empty of leaves, the little remaining leaves that do still exist are thin and of vibrant bright colors to not attract to much heat.
All plants have grown a fire resistance to survive their surroundings, with the Earth Eating Moss the most resistant and the Hardwood Tree (Variant) the least.
Aeriola-
The wind moon, The wind of this planet has chipped away at the surface, making it all rugged. The wind compacts the bits and pieces of sand and dirt to create mounds and boulders that can block parts of the wind. Earth Eating Moss does not exist here simply because when they are on the surface, the wind speed simply tears them to shreds.
Sticky Seaweed catches such dirt and sand on its body, making it some sort of armored plant, to resist the high speed winds that threaten to rip it apart making the variant be called Armored Weed, while the Hardwood Tree is further toughened, while creating thin nimble leaves that sway with the wind. Variant will be called Ironwood Willow.
Terra-Collant-
The earth moon, the Earth Eating Moss cripples the planet surface, due to the high gravity pressure, the surface caves in on itself and creates a system of caverns, valleys and mountains. Sticky Seaweed is pressed flat, making them die out, since their residue remains the surface of the planet is quite sticky and swamp-like and is capable of making anyone who walks in stay stuck for years.

The Hardwood tree is small yet durable, the leaves and truck are fanned out to spread the force of gravity. They are called Balance Bonsai.
Aethereon-
The homeworld, it is a place thriving with life, many varieties of Hardwood Trees, Earth Eating Moss, and Sticky Seaweed reside here, A selection of biomes are situated as well which currently consist of Desert, Volcanic Lands, Ocean, Forest, and Swamp, Aether is used as an energy of life by the local residents.
Current residents include: Sticky Weed Slug and Hardwood Treants. (These are the only two species alive)
"Wow such an extensive expansion. I went over to the Bookshelf of Species, or the nickname I gave to the bookshelf and looked up Hardwood treants and Sticky Weed Slugs.
Sticky Weed Slugs: They live on the planet Aethereon, they were just Sticky Weed but upon reaching 1,000 years of life they have absorbed enough Aether (Life Energy of Aethereon) to awaken into a living being. They move about by crawling. When crawling things stick to them and create a hard outer layer. They eat Earth Eating Moss and live in swamps and deserts.
Hardwood Treant: Sentient beings that live on the planet Aethereon. They started out as Hardwood Trees but upon reaching 1,000 years of life they came to life. They are guardians of the forest and speaker of trees. They dislike intruders (Other varients of Hardwood Treants) and mostly keep in councils of 10.
"Interesting" I said and went over to the giant globe in the center. "Show me the eldest Hardwood Treant and Sticky Weed Slug" I said to the globe.
The globe zoomed toward the oldest of the two and I looked at the many options on the panel till I found one that I wanted. [Send Godly Message] (Lol)
"Hello I am the creator of your world, I want you to gather a group of your species and maybe one or two plant species and get them to the highest mountain in your sight. I will be waiting"
Phew now its time to go to the neglected 5th moon.
I forgot to mention that I had a 5th moon that was just there, It was sitting, waiting as a back-up so I guess i may as well put it to use. I named it S.O.F. or Survival of the Fittest. and just developed an atmosphere and some water and went back to Aetheron. Both species seemed cooperative and I pressed another function [Transfer] and both groups were transfered to Sof.
I just left them a message saying that they have to survive.
I went back to the bed and was about to sleep some more when I thought of an idea.
If both the Sticky Weed Slug and the Hardwood Treant became alive because of Aether, what if I put a high concentration of it in an area. I decided to plop areas of high concentration Aether on each of the planets except Sof and Aetheron and went back to sleep. "1,000 years wake me up"
Side Story POVs: The Two Plant/Beasts
I felt like doing an extra chapter today, hope you enjoy it, It is a side story so its really not part of the main story, really I mean it
- Your Author Sederance
_______________________________________________________________________________
Eldest Sticky Weed Slug:
*Crawl crawl crawl crawl*
Ooh some moss, I opened my mouth to take a bite and as soon as it hits the stomach a voice speaks to me.
"Hello I am the creator of your world, I want you to gather a group of your species and maybe one or two plant species and get them to the highest mountain in your sight. I will be waiting"
Am I hearing things? Was it the moss that I ate, I threw my senses at the moss to see if something was wrong with it, but nothing came back.
Hmm, time to go back to my family, and the Sticky Weed Slug crawled to his home, which ironically was on the tallest mountain in sight.
Crawling to the summit, he noticed a purple moss that glimmered, "I will bring this home" The slug thought and used a part of his body to make it stick to him, upon reaching the summit, his wife and 10 kids were playing around and that was when he was teleported into a place unfamiliar to him.
Huh? What happened, where am I? and that was when the voice speaks again. "Welcome to Sof, or Survival of the Fittests. Simply just survive and you will do fine"
"Dad I''m hungry, do you have food" one of his kids asked. a chorus of voices spoke up and the Slug was now conflicted.
Seeing as there was no food in sight, He simply said like a wiseman which he was not" I do have food but we are going to have to eat it slowly, wait for more to grow, just don''t eat all of it, for who knows when it will appear again."
The chorus of voices just grew louder.
Hardwood Treant POV
Lumbering about my domain I spoke with one of the few trees that actually talked to me.
"Elish, you are to kind, I am just doing my job to protect you, nothing more" I said to the tree that gave me some water.
The tree seemed to have spoke to the young treant and he blushed (If trees can blush, maybe change of leaf color?)
"I know you are going to reach 1,000 years soon, I will wait patiently then for you to join me and we can welcome you to the council" the young treant grinned.
Some crashing through the jungle and another treant appeared. "Aishel come quick, the elder wishes to speak to us" the treant called and I sighed.
"I must go Elish, I will come back once the I have finished the Elder''s task." I cooed and he then shouted to the treant "Coming Neido, what does the Elder want now?"
Walking side by side through the forest Neido speaks first. "The old man must be off his rockers, he claims a heavenly being speaks to him, bah he must be crazy"
I sighs at what Neido said and after a bit of think replies "Even if he is off his rockers, it is by the laws of the council to obey the eldest as he is the most knowledgeable"
"But as they say, as time goes on, so does your mind, eventually he will be some blubbering idiot" Neido laughs.
"How is your domain Neido, any new sprouts that catch your eye" I asked
"Sprouts don''t catch my eye kiddo, they have to bloom into a tree to catch my eye, weaklings that can''t become trees are not worthy of animation" Neido cackles which makes me feels deeply unsettled.
"I see you caught the eyes of a tree yourself though, tell me about her" Neido said.
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
"She is called Elish, she is kind and caring, offering me some of her Aether which she painstakingly gathered all this time despite needing it to animate. When that was rejected she gives water." I said simply.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA, your to soft kid, we are called HARDwood Treants for a reason" Neido shrieks with laughter.
Wiping away tears Neido calms down and said "If Treants could live and give birth to saplings then that would be ideal, maybe ole Undith and I could have gotten one by now. Sadly we trees need Aether to grow and animate.
I was going to retort to that saying but we had already arrived at the council.
"Neido, Aishel come to the circle, I have an announcement to make." the eldest tree spoke.
"Yes Elder" we both bowed our canopies and sat in our respected seats.
"Role Call, Iloma" the Elder an olden oak speaks
"Here" a 20 meter tall tree sequoia-like speaks, with rainbow leaves
"Hajen"
"Here" A tree with golden apples speak.
"Undith"
"Here" a tall and slender tree with sparkling bark speaks
"Neido"
"Here" Neido speaks
"Jasha"
"Here" A small but wide willow tree speaks.
"finally our newest member, Aishel"
"Here" I speak.
"Good, recently I have heard from a divine being telling us to go to the tallest mountain in sight. We are moving, gather your most beloved tree, and we shall move to the holy lands" Elder Oak explains.
Some believed him like Iloma and gave him praise on being able to hear such a divine being. Others like Neido just air gagged and secretly called him crazy.
As I went back to get Elish, telling it was okay, we are just moving to a better place, maybe she can animate faster, and my talking calms her down as I pull her roots out.
We traveled day and night, Elish was getting weaker as time went on due to her being seperated from the Aether that supplied her.
Neido was the first to bail, alongside Undith, Soon after Hajen left too.
When we finally got to the top all we had was Elder Oak, Iloma, Jasha and I along with our trees.
We waited for some time before we were suddenly teleported to an unknown lifeless planet.
"THE AETHER, WHERE IS THE AETHER" Jasha suddenly cried out, her willow branches drooped even more,
"Elder Oak, the connection to the Aether is gone, this place is lifeless," Iloma speaks calmy.
I despaired, "Elish, I am sorry, I am sorry" I fell to the ground and cried.
Elish just waved her branches and rooted herself.
"Great Being, I don''t understand, what is the meaning of this?"
""Survive?, SURVIVE.. we cannot live without the Aether that nourishes our bodies, Great Being send us back I beg of you" Elder Oak was becoming more senile by the minute.
Time went on, Jasha bailed first, crushing her core, her Aether dispersed and that was when we got hope. We (Iloma and I) lapped up the Aether quickly, by that time Elder Oak succumbed to insanity and also crushed his core.
"Maybe we are the reason why Aether exist in the first place, to populate planets and give them life" a soft voice spoke.
I turned around to find the tree that I brought starting to move, the branches formed arms, the canopy swaying as the tree takes it''s first steps
"Elish, you animated?, please tell me this isn''t a dream" I was exasperated
"It isn''t my dear Aishel" Elish smiled and hugged me.
Aether, The Birth of New Life. Lets End It.
Explanation for the Treants:
They are regular trees yes, but to animate or become treants they must cultivate Aether. Once animated they are not regular trees and requires Aether to continue to live/grow otherwise they slowly die.
Like a fish in a slowly dissolving pond, it requires fresh water to continue living, but once the source is gone, they can only survive for a short amount of time before they die.
Wiseman that he was not* reference:
A village is starving, and the only one with food is the Wiseman, so people go and begs him for food, yet since he doesn''t have enough, he says he doesn''t have food and sends them away, Even though he does this he goes to a hidden location and grows food, enough to feed everyone for several years, thus the wiseman harests the food and shares it with everyone,
Lesson is, Never reveal that you have something unless you can deal with the consequences.
Also, school is starting very soon, so I might not be able to update as much, so expect some delays
Sleeping for a thousand years really does wonders, I wonder how everyone back on Earth is doing, my ole Ma and Pa, my friends who I used to hang out with, even that cranky old man who ignores stop lights that almost ran me over. (Truck-Sama?)
Then again, two thousand years have past by from then, they might as well be dead.
Sighing with sorrow, I walked over to the huge globe.
Status Report:
Jugganautilus- The Water Moon, Has a ring of water around the planet, barely any land on the surface, and an extensive deep undewater cavern. Life can be seen on the planet.
Aether chambers spawned Water-based creatures, an array of Water Nymphs, and Slimes.
Sticky Weed that passes through the area turned into snake and eel type creatures.
Earth Eating Moss oeats away at most of the surface, leaving almost no land remaining above water. Slimes takes a liking to the moss and eats it up, vastly reducing the speed at which land is gobbled up.
Creatures of Jugganautilus: Water Nymphs, Water Slimes, Algae Slimes, Weed Snake, Sticky Eel,
Plants of Jugganautilus: Earth Eating Moss, Sticky Weed, Algae Bits
Nekindoar: The Fire moon, A range of mountains and volcanoes among a sea of lava. Charcoal Treants wander the terrain. Fire Spirits and Lava Slimes roam the area. Fire Spirits and Lava Treants cames together to make a Lava Construct. Slimes come gather together to make Lava Golems,
Lava Golems and Lava Constructs fight for territory. Fire Nymphs and Charcoal Treants stay clear of such territories.
The planet has come in contact with Aeriola, the winds send funnels of winds creating a gastly weather system, of scorching heat winds and tornadoes across the planet. The formation of Obsidian Pillars (Dried Lava Tornadoes) makes it the home of Lava Slimes and Fire Nymphs
Creatures of Nekindoar: Fire Nymphs, Lava Constructs, Lava Golems, Lava Slimes, Charcoal Treant,
Plants of Nekindoar: Ash Weed, Luminous Tree, Earth Eating Moss
Aeriola- The Wind Moon, Home to a howling ecosystem. Groves of Ironwood Willows withstand the harsh winds, Armored Weed animated and grew limbs to accommodate to the harsh weather. They are now referred to as Armored Ants.
Groves of wind free territories are the homes to Armored Ant Queens, who eat Ironwood trees, Wind Nymphs love to lounge in the clouds above, Some of the clouds are animated by the Aether and are basically shape-shifters. They only take the forms of known beings to them.
Aether wished to protect itself from the chaotic wind and created a huge wind wall that counters the winds and creates a safe zone that allows nothing in nor anything out. (Only way is through the ground)
A variant of wind nymphs live here, some of them live directly in the wind wall (Area of high pressure wind that tears anything to shreds in seconds) and have shaped their body through trial and error into the my aerodynamic, the final form being a bird demi-human.
Creatures of Aeriola: Wind Nymphs, Aerolite Garudas, Armored Ant, Armored Ant Queen, Cloud Shifter.
Plants of Aeriola: Ironwood Willow, Armored Weed, Iron Root Mangrove
Terra-Collant- The Earth Moon, The surface is sticky and swamp-like, and the many caverns are dark and mysterious.
Sticky Slimes roam the surface, Earth Eating Moss is their coat. Darkness attribute creatures live in the ground, and a variant type of moss appears, Gauze Mushrooms grow in the dark, Aether has animated them into Mushroom Men and they roam hunting the slimes, who fight back. Gelatin Blobs are evolved versions of Sticky Slimes who protect the still growing slimes.
Balance Bonsais give birth to Sprites, Wood Nymphs and Dryads who protect the trees from destructive Gauze Mushroom Men. Golems rise from the ground, and lumber around, they seem to cultivate Aether and gain random powers, mostly of the earth attribute, though there are variants.
Terra-Collant was influenced by Nekindoar, the heat setting the place on fire, most of the swamps dried up, and countless creatures perished while others mutated to survive the burning hell.
Creatures of Terra-Collant: Ash Dryad, Mushroom Man, Sticky Slime, Ember Sprite, Sprite, Various Element Golems, Wood Nymphs, Gelatin Blobs, Torchlight Blob, Withered Mushroom Men, Mindless Shadow, Poltergeist, Nightmare Shadow
Plants of Terra-Collant: Balance Bonsai, Corrupted Strangler Bonsai, Venomous Mushrooms, Gauze Mushrooms,
Aetheron- The Main planet of the system,
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
Treant''s councils have grown into communities of 100 trees, with the 10 eldest as the members of the council. More varieties of trees.
Sticky Weed Slug has evolved into three separate species.
- Moss Covered Herbivores, short stubby legs with gaping vacuum mouths. Stones have attached themselves here and there, crawling around has made them smooth (Telrio)(Basically a hairy armored bull)
- Skin has hardened into a carapace, the low amount of moss has turned them into cannibals and they now crave for meat, They have a small slit of a mouth but small sharp fangs and teeth, developed many eyes to see in almost all directions, They developed quick multi-segment legs to run fast to capture their prey. (Basically a mixture of a mantis and a spider) (Mantachnid)
- Developed a rough belly which it slides on to climb vertically, eats anything in it''s path, from plants to dead animals, mostly camouflaged so that they are not attacked, because of underdeveloped legs that are somewhat useless. (Imagine a tadpole when it has legs, except it crawls on land) (Veromites)
Water from Jugganautilus has fallen onto the planet multiple times, flooding areas completely, an ocean is born and Water spirits and Slimes as well as some Weed Snakes and Sticky Eels arrive onto the planet.
Times when Nekindoar come close to the planet, Weed Snakes love the heat that radiates from the planet and fan out their bodies, making them wider and their skin grows darker, they grow legs to swim through water faster and a crocodile species is born. [Wide-back Crocodile]
The Wide-back Crocodiles fight often with the Mantachnids as they usually hunt the Telrio. Due to wide-spread hunting the Telrio has evolved into two sub-species:
1. The armor grew bigger, encasing most of the body, when attacked the Telrio goes into its shell. (Armored Telrio)
2. Losing the armor, this sub-species became faster, growing long legs and a smaller body frame, they are constantly alert. (Telrio Sentry)
Winds of Aeriola have pushed some spirits onto the planet Aethereon and they have influenced the planet, Hives of Armored Ants fight constantly with the Hardwood Treants, Ants looking for food, while Treants defend their territory. Wind Spirits and Cloud-Shifters form an alliance with the Water Spirits. They create a small underwater and sky village.
Terra-Collant has not influenced the planet much for the last thousand years, but the surface nearest to Terra-Collant seemes to be influenced by a suction from the moon, Aether is leaking through the suction and many living plant species in the area has died out.
Creatures of Aethereon: Hardwood Treants, Veromites, Telrios (Armored, Sentry) Armored Ant, Armored Ant Queen, Nymphs (Wind, Water), Sticky Eels, Weed Snakes, Wide-Back Crocdiles, Mantachnids, Water Slimes,
Plants of Aethereon: Sticky Weed, Earth Eating Moss, Carnivorous Acid Weed, Hardwood Tree, Softwood Tree, Iron Bramble Bush, Sky Grass, Grass Flower.
I whistled at the flavor text. So many species and what not.
Hmm, let me send some of them to Sof, I looked over each species at the [Book Shelf of Species] and finally decided on 5 individuals, I selected a few Mantachnids, Golems, Dryads, Armored Ant Queens, and Mindless Shadows to watch the Survival of the fittest.
Actually checking on Sof, the Sticky Weed Slugs I have set there before seemed to have grown in numbers, and purple moss dotted most of the planet, as for the Hardwood Treants, they were barely managing their population with 3 animated treants and the rest trees. the ecosystem was sort of balanced as a forest and moss covered the planet-side. Though spots of it remain desolate and empty.
The five species I have selected were randomly placed, and without checking on them I left them to their own devices.
I decided I will present a threat to my planet, since they were just existing without to much danger in their lives.
I cycled through the multiple disasters that can and will take place. Meteor Storm, Flooding, Core Explosion, Eruption, Plague, and much much more.
I decided to create a race of platinum hunters that the species will despise. I decked out the beings to be human-like with the ability to create weapons from their own body. They had heightened senses despite having no face. I chose to spawn them on All of the planets and moons. I really wanted to spawn them but a message appeared in my face.
You have ran out of Divine Points, you can gain points by:
1. Worshipers, people who praise you will give you 1 Divine Points, Likewise, People who curse your name will make you lose 1 Divine Points.
2. Completing an achievement set by God himself. IF, and only if you somehow disappoint God, then he will take away a huge amount of points, if you go to far into the negatives he will revoke your rights to being a [World Creator]
3. Selling a species, This is not recommended as it could create havoc, but you will get more points the more complex a creature is or if there is a huge number of the creature.
|
Damn it, not enough points, I guess I have to get these creatures to "like" me, I looked at the globe to see how many points I do have.
Current amount of Divine Points: 2.
Wow, such points. I looked up again to see it drop down to 1.
"Oh great, someone is cursing my name, how did they even find out my name anyway?"
Rising Popularity, I Hope
If you haven''t figured it out yet, you can say that Aether is the lifeblood of any animate living being, without it they can''t move around or become alive"
- From the Author, Sederance
I wiped my head as I looked at Aethereon and the Moons,
How to get these creatures to like me?
Sure I could bless them, give them a better life, but I''ve read books where it backfires on them when everything goes wrong and I couldn''t afford that.
Now that I think about it, many of the complains come from Sof, which was the only moon to lack Aether.
I scratched my chin as I looked at each of the comments.
"Curse you Divine being"
"You left us to starve"
"My children are dying"
"My keeper is dead"
"No food to eat"
and much much more, it actually drained 3,000 of my points.
"God, can I go into the negatives as long as it''s not to far into the negatives?" I asked.
A voice speaks to me, resonating from the surrounding area. "Of course Julie, but don''t piss me off, I want divine points, not lose it" God laughs and his voices shrinks in the distance.
Alright I decided to nuke Sof, and maybe transfer all the species of plants and animals to the planet, I recently read what a Kodoku was (Thanks to Harlequin who brought it to my attention) and I was enthralled by the idea. Sadly no poisonous creatures have been born yet so I will have to work with what I have.
I went over to the globe and issued the commands to teleport a few of each species to Sof. Most were confused on the sudden change of surroundings, while others welcomed it gladly.
For transporting all species to the moon Sof, you have used up 7000 points, For nuking the moon in Aether, you have used up 5000 points, you are now [-1207] Divine Points, when this number reaches 1 Million you will be evicted from this realm. |
I gulped when I read the message. Please oh please praise me now, I need the points
Well since nothing has changed much on any of the planet except Sof, I asked for a brief status report on what has happened.
Sof: The moon of survival, with the introduction of a surplus of Aether and multiple new species suddenly appearing, a warring state as species try to claim territory for themselves.
Due to there being a surplus amount of Aether, if concentrated in an area long enough without a creature absorbing it, a random creature will spawn. They will take the form that best suites their needs. Amount of creatures spawned this way: 5 (Thundering Flame Wolf, Imperial Herb Drake, Void Stone Manta, Arg*, Wrecktile Guards.
Arg- an egg with four spider legs, the egg is a high density rock that is tough like diamond, opening it''s shell, Args cut rock with the shell and dissolve it with acids within, further strengthening the shell. They like to reside in boiling waters, and can shoot acid at any dangers to them.
Slimes have met with each other and a few hybrid slimes are born, an Elemental Blob is formed.
A council of nature is created by the Imperial Herb Drake, council members include representatives from the Hardwood Treants, Dryads, Nymphs (Multi-element) Nature Attribute Golems, Sprites.
Fire attribute creatures create a volcano, which occasionally erupts, Fighting between Fire Golems, Lava Constructs, and Lava Golems take place in the center of the volcano, It becomes a gladiator arena for fire attribute creatures.
Oceans are formed so that the water attribute creatures can live. Water Slimes have preyed on Weed Snakes and gain scales, they soon form into a fish type creature.
I was sort of disappointed that they weren''t actually fighting for survival, so I decided to interfere for a bit.
Long life water creature that emits poison into the surrounding waters, Attacks anything on sight. Named Emperor Deskin the Poison Leviathan.
Colossal giant that eats any creatures that it sees, endless hunger, yet never dies from hunger. Named King Glutton.
Smog-type creature that poisons the skies, Takes the form of a Valkyrie and drains the vitality of air-attribute creatures. Named Kylia the Plague Valkyrie
Dragon based fire creature that incinerates the surrounding area, when encountering a fire attribute creature, it will do anything to gobble it up. Dracio the Fire Tyrant.
Making these 4 god tier creatures costed me 10,000 points each, I suffer greatly. I send a message to each and every creature further reducing my points "Survive, four great disasters will befall you, if you offer your prayers to me, I will make you a safe haven, and only if you give me prayers, but only if I get enough prayers"
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
That should get me some points, smiling at the thought, I watched my Divine Points meter rise and fall, until it is slowly rising,
Going to the world builder, I looked at the many panels, "Spectate the 4 godly beings, and the rest random creatures"
And as the screens light up, I summoned some popcorn and sat down to watch the show.
POV of a Golem.
The message that was just heard alerted everyone in the community. Getting up from my meditating position and looked toward the distance where a pillar of fire suddenly rose to the sky.
we didn''t talk but telepathically many were panicked, some warriors sharpened their swords to meet this incoming danger. I did none of that.
Looking at my arms, that took the shape of a sword, with the runes engraved on it. I had just awakened my powers and I wanted to put it to good use.
I walked around, gathering clay, earth, mud, the resources that made us. I walked up to my friends, urging them to come with me.
I wanted to gather more necessities but a long stream of fire incinerated a group of warriors in front of me. A huge dragon rearing it''s head letting out torrents of flames and smashing us golems to pieces
And thus I opened a portal, into a floating void, but at least we were safe.
Or so I thought.
Creatures of darkness attacked us. Dragging away my friends one by one, till I was the only one left. Am I the only golem left?
I sat down to cultivate, the only thing that could keep my mind off of my missing friends
Drawing in the mysteries of the void that surrounds me. I noticed how more and more Stone creatures were appearing in this place, "the shadows must have been using the remains of my friends" the golem thought sadly. Many of the void stone creatures opened portals to escape the void, some even dragged in more creatures.
I just sat down to cultivate, trying not to think. as I drifted through this desolate and empty void.
POV of a Wind Nymph:
Another Aerolite Garuda has fallen, the clouds of death rolled on, engulfing any and all sky creatures. A cloud shifter foolishly tried to hide itself, but the clouds of death laughed and engulfed it, sucking all the Aether dry. "I pray to you Great Being, Please protect us from this cloud of death. I will do anything, just save us" I begged
Behind me the cloud turned into a valkyrie and shot an arrow, piercing another Garuda, the cloud nymphs on it cried and made a dash only to be preyed upon.
"Please, anything, even If it just delays the fog" I cried I felt a prescence down below and a giant hand came and grabbed the Garuda I was on. "If you are saving me thank you" I smiled,
What I met was a huge gaping mouth.
POV of a Mindless Shadow:
Running, I do not know why but I feel danger, it is all around. I can feel the wailing of death, It is in the sky, underground, it is all around me.
I just kept on running, until I felt flames scorching my body.
I list of species that went extinct immediately popped up:
Golems:
Armored Ant
Armored Ant Queens
Charcoal Treants
Withered Mushroom Men

Veromites
Gauze Mushrooms,
Earth Eating Moss
Softwood Tree,

Cloud Shifters
Lava Constructs

Weed Snakes
Wide-Back Crocodile
That was very short, so many species gone.
Since I was finally in the positives I spawned a sanctuary, also siginalling all species that it was a sanctuary, it covered both land and water to protect what little species remained.
After I had placed this down, a huge increase to my Divine Points from the many praises and thanks to my name.
But then I gave them some bad news "Prepare yourself to fight the creatures, as this Sanctuary will teleport every 100 years, it will always be near water"
With that, my points took a dive. I sighed
I decided my work was done and then thought of an interesting idea. I made an intelligent four-armed monkey, and then intelligent humans, and placed them all on the five moons and Aethereon.
I plopped myself back in bed and decided to rest only for 500 years.
"Night" I called to no one in particular and fell asleep
Granting Divinty, Problem?
Waking up from my 500 year nap, I decided to observe the planet and the moons.
Status reports:
Jugganautilus- The Water Moon, with next to no land above the water, it is a perfect sphere with the exception of the tidbits of land that juts out from the water surface, the core is cradled with ravines and abysses,

They armor themselves with tools from slain Armored Ants and Ironwood Willows and Armored Weeds. They live in traveling caravans to find food.
Nekindoar was nearby and turned part of the sand into glass, Unarmored creatures have a chance of being cut by flying glass. Death is quite common this way.
Armored ants evolved into a more sophisticated insect, branching into three species.
Armored Spiders, Armored Scorpions and Armored Mantis. They three create Major hives where the queen lives, and minor hives/outposts where minor queens and their subjects live. There is a constant war for territory, and humans are normally caught in the middle of it.

A species of octopus has evolved to withstand the poison of the Poison Leviathon, and currently lives on the beast, draining its vitality.
King Glutton fights Dracio for territory, while Kylia sits on her sky throne, awaiting any mortals to smite.
the introduction of Humans and Four-armed Monkeys brings all the species together to fight these beasts.
Councils with a representative for each species are born, Search parties for potential locations of the next Sanctuary is progressing with minimal casualties.
The ruins of cities built within the last 500 years are shown, to be scattered in old Sanctuary locations. Deadly plague and poison has reanimated some creatures and corrupting others to work as minions for the Beasts of Calamity.
Some species change due to the hardships:
Dryad has a variant called Thorny Vine Queen.
Water Nymphs have become corrupted, becoming one of two variants (Sirens, and Acid Nymph)
Nightmare Shadows have joined the Beasts of Calamity, they become an advanced version of a demon, a few become stronger than the average demon becoming Demon Generals.
Charcoal Treants catch fire, becoming Blazing Constructs.
more varieties.
I looked over each of the information and then decided.
Time to grant some divinity. I smiled at the thought, but who should I give the honor.
I drew up all the species on the World Builder and had it choose 4 randomly.
Fire nymph, Aerolite Garuda, 2 head hydra, Human.
I looked at my points (3,732,401 Divine Points)
I decided to give each of them 10,000 Divine points.
The following people have been given divinity and became a god:
Renny Emburn: Fire Nymph, has become the godess of Fire, Parties, and Fertility
Akshakan: Aerolite Garuda, has become the god of the Void, Wind, and Freedom.
Baba- 2-Headed Hydra, has become the god of Earth/Water, Death/Life, and Servitude.
Hannah Cortesa, Human, has become the goddess of the Hunt, Harvest, and Mines.
These 4 gods are allowed worshipers, but 3/4th of any divine points they receive will go to their creator.
The 4 gods are allowed to meet their creator at any time, as long as they take a suitable form.
Immediately celebration and panic spread throughout the cities of Sof. many beings started to worship the four gods hoping they are the salvation that they were hoping for. While some said it was a hoax and became anti-believers.
Immediately I got four notifications
The God/Goddess: Renny, Akshakan, Baba, and Cortesa would like to meet you, what is the suitible form for them to take?
I pondered for a bit before smiling,
Sitting in front of the four gods, I smiled at them,
They were complaining about their forms, because I have decided to turn them into.........
.
.
.
.
.
.
Goldfishes.
"What is this form, why am I compressed in such a small body?" Baba complained.
"This isn''t exactly freedom is it" Akshakan said.
"A new form, Why is it water based, I HATE IT" Renny shreiked.
"Something new huh" Cortesa replied bored.
"Hello I am your great creator, you will be watching over the planets for me while I sleep, make sure no one causes any, BIG trouble now, bye" I said and flung myself to the bed, despite everyone shouting their questions.
"500 years from now" I said and closed my eyes.
I want to thank you all for giving praise for my story, I also like the criticism and suggestions.
For a few chapters now, I felt like this story was getting worse and worse, and I was slapping the few readers I have in the face with how bad it was.
But you all tell me its good, and thank me for the chapter and It makes me so happy, that I''m crying as I type this message (Not really, its just tears in my eyes)
Despite Julie being a douche she managed to think up some good things, like the interacting moons and some interesting species (Ow Julie, I thought you were sleeping)
Anyway, I want to thank you all for following this story. If you have a suggestion or a nasty comment, then leave it below, I will gladly take it.
From the author- Sederance
Council of Gods
Waking up from my nap I stretched, yawned, did all the other embarrasing stuff that people do when they wake up and my sleepy eyes drifted over and see four goldfishes starting at me
"......" I stared
"......." the four goldfishes stare back.
"What are you guys still doing here?, Didn''t I give you a task to complete?" I asked them
"Good morning sunshine, so bright and chirpy you are, HOW WAS THE 500 YEAR NAP YOU TOOK" Renny exploaded.
"This is not freedom, let me out of here" Akashakan wailed.
"I sort of like this new body, I get to do nothing" Baba said.
"Watching you sleep was interesting.... you spent so many years with your butt in the air" Cortesa smiled.
"I ask again, what are you guys still doing here" I asked.
The only god to speak up was Cortesa " You sealed our divine powers when we got here, right now we are just goldfish, we don''t even have permission to leave" Cortesa explained with a bored tone.
"Whoops, Tehee" I just giggled at the thought,and with a wave of my hand they were sent back to their domains.
for a change, nothing much has happened on any of the planets.
Because of this I decided to hire some new gods.
"World Builder, find some suitable people who can be gods" I asked and the computer zoomed across all the planets.
Multiple people flashed onto the screen one, by one the screens freezes on selected individuals.
List of them:
1. Shadow Whisperer: Nightmare Shadow: Capabilites, God of the Shadows/Abductions
2. Whispers: Fallen Angel: Capabilties: God of Insanity,
3. Lily: Dryad: Goddess of the Plants,
4. Nasderia: Poison Octopus: Goddess of Poisons and Storms.
5-30. And more''
I reviewed the list and selected three per element.
Renny the Fire Nymph is the goddess of Fire (Liveliness), Parties, and Fertility.
She domineers over a council of three fire gods/goddesses.
1. Vulca, Human, Goddess of Fire (Creativity), and Blacksmithing,
2. Kindeo: the Drakon (Advance version of Drakemen), God of Fire (Destruction), and War.
3. Ixp, the Fire Slime, God of Fire (Inspiration) .
This council resides in the planet Nekindoar, deep inside a volcano where mortals can''t reach them.
They set it up so that they must have 3 votes to pass a decision.
Enjoying the story? Show your support by reading it on the official site.
Akshakan the Aerolite Garuda is the God of the Void, Wind(Clarity), Freedom
He domineers over a council of three as well.
1. Jia Dashon the Cloud Shifter, God of Wind (Change), Growth and Achievement.
2. Arielle Hawkins: Wind Disciple: Goddess of the Winds (Knowledge and Intellect), and Magic
3. Ariola Lemur. Goddess of the Wind (Frenzy), and Rage.
A unanimous vote must be accomplished for a decision to go through.
Baba the 2-headed Hydra is the God of (Earth and Water), (Death/Life) and servitude
He is a council of one, but his many heads are considered a seat, 3/5ths of the heads must agree or else the decision is null.
He gains heads by spending divine points. With each head comes a new title/responsibility.
Though he has a few minor gods/goddesses that can make suggestions as well.
Hannah Cortesa: Goddess of the Hunt, Harvest and Mines.
She rules a council of many.
a few of them are:
Angel species, God of Light, and Purity.
Candle Wisps species: Gods/Goddesses of Fate and Destiny.
Nightmare Shadows species: God of the Shadows and Abduction.
Guardian Obelisk species (God of Protection and Safety)
Poison Octopus Species: Goddess of Poisons and Water (Storms)
and many many more.
.
"Alright, summon the council"
In a room where I sat on a throne, and everyone around me were goldfishes.
Many voices of complaint but I started to get things in motion.
"Alright, the time is now, to start the evolution of yoru species to defeat the Four Beasts of Calamity, by the way nice job Poison Octopus Species for slowly taking down the Leviathon" I announced.
The goldfish that represented the octopus species just let out a bubble or two. I take it as a thanks and move on.
"Alright, four lucky species today will be getting an evolution that will give them a better chance of destroying, or at the very least sealing these four beasts. , Councils decide now." I shouted and a huge mob of voices broke out.
Many fights even broke out, if you call goldfishes headbutting each other fighting.
I just popped out some popcorn and watched the mayhem.
Battle for a Better Future (Part 1)
If i''m in the mood, this might be a four part release today - Author Sederance.
After much fighting in the council I clapped my hands together, creating a sound wave that effectively shut everyone up.
Your fights are so entertaining but I have decided on the four species to gain an evolution. Step.... or in your case, swim forward if I call your name. " I announced.
Poison Octopus.
Wind Disciples
Guardian Obelisks
Aerolite Garudas
The four goldfishes that swim forward, with a wave of my hand they transformed into their original versions.
"Poison Octopuses, from before and to now, you are slowly weakening the Poison Leviathan, protecting the future oceans from any harm. I award you an Evolution. You are poison-resistant, now you absorb those poisons to create batrotoxin, . You are now Kraken, giant creatures of the sea. Luckily you can only poison on touch and not through area like the accursed Leviathan that swims in your seas" I announced.
"Wind Disciples, you work hard to defy Kylia the Plague Valkyrie by purifying the winds with fresh breezes. You have trained to become one with the wind, You can now live for a long time, You become Wind Elves if you so choose to be. You can understand the wind and use it as you like" I said.
"Guardian Obelisks, you work to create smaller non-moving sanctuaries. You endure the pain of being raided and constantly attacked. I give you the power to control gravity. You can use it to make yourself lighter to move, or harden yourself to withstand blows.. You can even sacrifice a few of you to seal something into deep slumber.
And finally the Aerolite Garudas.
"You have made sure the wind people are safe in Sof, you act as transports and guardians. You sacrifice yourself and send yourselves to the void of death to save others. You now gain control of such void, and can open portals to other dimensions. You have grown more wings and understand the voices of the void. Void Messiahs" I explained and sent everyone back to where they were last.
I witnessed the evolution of the Poison Octopuses into Batrachotoxin Krakens and this made the leviathan take notice of them. A huge battle raged on, the Krakens were snapped up and ripped to pieces but the numbers overwhelmed the Leviathan. With a whip of it''s tail the Leviathan rushed toward the depths. with the krakens behind it. They managed to rip chunks of meat off the Leviathan but clouds of poison were still poison, making many of the krakens and their allies fall into despair and death.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
I retreated to it''s home in the darkness of the abyss where It first spawned. Using the darkness as a cover with it''s night vision eyes. A few of each species charged in to fight regardless, even if they friendly fire.
I couldn''t see as well in the darkness of the abyss. Poison Leviathan seemed to be gobbling up a few corpses, and smacking and chomping out of a few lives ones. The numbers were to great for the godly being and he slowly succumbed and fell deeper in, with a few Batrachotoxin Krakens going after it. Out came fewer Batrachotoxin Krakens than before they went in but the Leviathan did not swim out as far as I can tell..
King Glutton was busy fighting multiple creatures, he smashed some, stomped on many, even threw and ate a few. The slow as ever Guardian Obelisks crawled forward, trying to get into a formation, but King Glutton bounded away. The Obelisks floated and zoomed after him.
Tyrant Dracio were fighting the wind elves, and a few other species. His fire aura torched many, but the refreshing breezes of the wind elves kept the heat at bay.
A few unlucky souls were scorched into nothing, and Dracio even commanded some of his minions to deal with the invaders.
Kylia was busy sniping and consuming many air based creatures. Her fogs grew darker, she laughed madly. In the distance a Void Messiah was chanting something, Queen Kylia was oblivious.

Battle for a Better Future (Part 2)
Part 2 of 4, I might manage a third part today, if not then expect two tomorow- The Author Sederance
___________________________________________________________________________
A universal message (or universe in my world) The Water Beast of Calamity [Poison Leviathan] has been defeated, the waters will slowly purify unless you help purify it |
A general cheer raged throughout the planet and the others started to fight with much vigor.
POV: Wind Disciple Judy Coraige.
Queen Kylia twirls as she drains and kills Garudas, Nymphs, and other creatures. laughing in mad laughter and dancing to a mad tune of slaughter.
I looked over at the Void Messiah as he startd chanting the 40th line for his spell, to think that the spell that will take out the Wind Beast of Calamity took a total of 142 lines.
"Adepts, Novices, Masters, Grandmasters, and everyone. We fight today to reclaim the skies from the beast who plagues it. Queen Kylia will fall today, CHARGE" the master who taught us this powers with the wind bellowed and I mounted a contraption of my own build.
It was a pole, but with a push of a button wings popped up and it helped me glide. I can even wind-surf on it.
"Luke, Carla, Desmos" I said and they turn to look at me.
"Ready to give that queen a slaughter?" I asked cautiously.
"Anything for our children''s futures" Desmos snickers.
I knew he was joking, we were only 15, but if we make it out of this, maybe just maybe.
"I know we can do this, lets go" I exclaimed, which surprised the three of my friends and I jumped over the edge of the cliff we were situated and opened my sail.
my friends followed behind as they opened their sails.
POV: Bunuman Mariellea
I jumped onto the back of King Glutton and slashed the back of his neck. I jumped back as he moved his hands to slap me.
I just barely landed when I had to move to avoid an attack again.
"Damn Cineloi, despite being a huge fatty, his moves are to agile" I complained.
"I know what you mean" another bunuman said and jumped back to avoid a fist.
"The Guardian Obelisks, seem to be taking their time" I muttered.
"Thats because they''re not used to their newfound speed, so their taking it slow" Cineloi laughed
I jumped into the sky and did a twirl, my daggers ready to pierce his neck, but a well-timed fist grabbed me out of the sky and King Glutton drew me close to his overly large and smelly mouth.
"Mariellea" Cineloi screamed and she jumped and slashed King Glutton across the eye.
King Glutton roars and he drops me, tumbling to the ground, I looked up in time to see Cineloi smile at me for a final time before the foot came and crushed her into the ground.
"CINELOI" I went berserk and rushed at King Glutton.
POV: Human: Jiaken Lazlo.
I rushed to the nearby ridge, I slide underneath it as a Hardwood Treant was sent flying, his charcoaled body crumbling into ash.
"Party leader, are you sure we should just charge in there" I asked wildly.
"AHHA HA. there is no better feeling than staring death right in the face, it will make that wimp of you man up" the party leader Nordo chortled and he looked at the 20 volunteers that signed up for this death mission.
"Alright, Info says Dracio the Fire Tyrant is a hard, cold, killer. Proof has it he exterminated the golems that used to exist. Watch out for his fire breath, and AOE Fire Field spell. His claws are as hard as diamond, which can cut through those lousy shields and armors of yours. I want a nice clean fight, with a hint, nevermind the hint, make it a whole lot of backstabbing." Nordo smirked.
The rest of us grimaced on hearing this tidbit of information but we straightened our gear regardless.
"Alright, teams of 2, 11 pairs. Watch your backs, some Ash Dryads decided to serve this bastard, their thorns are rather lethal, lost a friend to one of them, he was laughing at how weak they were as well, the irony right?" Nordo laughs again and he gave the signal to charge.
The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
I looked at my partner and we charged. The Wind Elves were fluttering around it, launching arrows, casting magic, even a few brave souls went in to stab it''s eyes.
A coalition of creatures were at the feet of Dracio trying to stumble it or make it trip. An Armored Mantis got squashed underfoot of the creature and a whole nest was set ablazed by Dracio.
"The hour cooldown of his Fire Field is almost up, everyone retreat" someone exclaimed and creatures started to fall back. This only brought more casualties as Dracio now had free range to swipe at the Wind elves.
"This is bad, this isn''t even a battle, it''s a slaughter" I wailed.
"Stop bein so pessimistic you little twat" my partner grimaced and he took one of the many axes on his back and lobbed it at Dracio. the force of the blow made it implant itself in the chest but Dracio didn''t even flinch, firing a torrent of flames toward us.
"Tell my wife Nora that I died protecting someone" my partner said and he pulled up a shield to block the flames for a few people who tripped.
I watched him go, before snapping into action and jumping right behind him, pulling out my own shield.
"we''re pa...partners this ti..time..me around, Ca...can''t..n''t let you do anything by you.....yourself" I stuttered the feeling of imminent death quickly approaching as we both hunkered down by our shields, the pair behind us scrambling up to run further.
"Nice knowing ya kid" The guy said and he pushed himself to be in front of my shield, burning into charcoal on the way. I barely managed to get out of the breath attack when it ended. My shield was now smithereens.
"I will tell your wife, and If I won''t make it, I will have someone else tell them" I exclaimed, making my resolve clear and charging forward with everyone else.
I observed each of the battles, Many more people dying to the hands of the beasts, when finally some interesting development happened.
King Glutton cornered himself on the edge of a peninsula He roared as the many creatures that went to oppose him held him there as the Guardian Obelisks came to seal him.
King Glutton looked behind him to see vast ocean, but in the waters, Krakens, Octopus, Crocmen, and other water based creatures surrounded the water.
The Guardian Obelisks finally arrived on scene, that was when King Glutton went berserk. He roared a mighty roar and his chest expanded, a cyclone was forcing everything around him to be sucked into his mouth. Many creatures tried to flee but they were swept off their feet and sent flying into his void-like stomach.
The Guardian Obelisks finally arrived and suddenly fell to the ground, weighting many thousand tons. A they created a circle and anything outside of the circle was no longer being affected by King Glutton. . A sudden flash and King Glutton turned into a mountain. At the base of it, many obelisks stood, glowing and with warnings not to break them.
Earth Beast of Calamity [King Glutton] has been defeated |
A cheer went up from the whole world and fighting intensified, both the residents who were trying to get rid of the Beasts of Calamity, and the Beasts of Calamity who were trying not to be defeated.
Drats, my popcorn bowl is getting empty, "Baba, make me another set, this is to suspenseful to leave" I ordered the goldfish.
"But I want to see the movie too" Baba whined, but his other head just smacked him with his head "We are on it" It bowed and the Baba dragged himself toward the popcorn booth.
"Ah, Species Builder, Bring up the blueprints of [King Glutton] and [Poison Leviathan]" I said and once the two blueprints popped up, "Time to modify them to be a bigger calamity" I laughed
King Glutton, a berserk giant who eats all in his path, his stomach is like a void, capable of holding many things without end
Defeated: Guardian Obelisk race extinction to seal this Calamity
Battle for a Better Future (Part 3)
Looking over the blueprints of [Poison Leviathan] I made her slimmer, faster. She grew harder skin that would make it difficult to grasp and penetrate. The poison lays dormant inside her, anything that touches this poison corrodes instantly. (Breath Attack). She grew wings which enables her to leave the waters.
[King Glutton] on the other hand grew more bulky, encasing himself in rock as he is trapped inside a mountain. he now can dig through the earth, he can wander the earth and attack from any place except for the sky. His rock armor makes it harder for people to do deal damage to him. He grew horns on his head as sensory beacons to detect life
Putting aside the new creations, I executed them, , I just delayed them for millions of years, which they will change when they gather the Aether to do so.
I observed two screens one showed Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie and the other Dracio the Fire Tyrant.
Just in time Baba came with the popcorn, as thanks I rewarded him with some divine points and he grew another head. "Bababa?" The third head said.
"We are BaBa, not BaBaBa, though" the first head exclaimed.
"We add a Ba to each head, since we had two heads it was Baba, now we have three so Bababa!" the second head announced.
Bababa gave a cheer and they settled down to watch a Hydra go forth to attack Dracio.
Judy Coraige POV:
Surfing on my Wind Sailor, I fired an air arrow toward the valkyrie. As a being made of air we had to seal her or else she could spread.
Tornadoes were sent to scatter her, Arrows piercing individual particles. Kylia laughed at how ineffective it was. A rain of plague arrows fell from the skies. I swerved to dodge the arrows when I hear a cry. "I''m hit" my friend Carla shrieks and the arrow had lodged itself in her shoulder.
I watched in horror as she decayed before my eyes. Her complexion became pale, next the skin drooped, before melting off her skin. the muscles underneath writhed in agony before becoming dust. Carla looked at us for a final time as she crumbled into dust and blown away by the wind.
"Carla NOOO" I bellowed, and then in rage, I fired arrow after arrow trying to damage her but to no avail did she register any of it as pain.
Kylia laughed at our futile efforts and sent a whip of death toward all those around her. I managed to narrowly avoid it, as do my friends, but I see a Wind Nymph and a Solar Sailor crumbling to dust in the distance.
The last attack made it noticed the Void Messiah in particular and a look of terror came across her face, Kylia immediately shot arrow after arrow at the Void Messiah to stop it from chanting.
"Nice knowing you guys" Luke smirked at us and he charged and intercepted one of the arrows with his Wind Sailor. It crumbling to dust and fell with a salute to the ground tens of thousands of meters below.
I watched in despair as he disappeared underneath the clouds.
Desmos and I flew toward the onslaught of arrows, throwing wind objects to deter or disable the plague arrows.
"Hes on Line 141, just a few more seconds" the stand-in commander exclaimed, the original commander had died apparently.
As the Void Messiah was about to finish his incantation, one arrow managed to slip past everyone and was about to hit the Void Messiah.
Everyones'' hope plummet.
"Not on my watch" Desmos said "Wish we could have had a child though" Desmos whispered to me, shocking me greatly and he threw himself in front of the arrow, taking the brunt of the attack and dissolving into dust.
"DESMOS NOOO" I tried to scream but no words came from my throat.
The Void Messiah finished his stanza and a huge portal opened behind him.
Queen Kylia panicked and tried to escape, but the great profounds of the void enveloped her and started to pull her in.
"MY DOMAIN, LEAVE ME TO MY DOMAIN, ALL OF YOU MUST PERISH WITH ME" Queen Kylia wailed. tendrils of fog tried to grasp us but we all eluded her.
"Nice job Void Messiah" people gave him their compliments and he stood there waving and enjoying his newly found celebrityhood. Until a tendril wrapped itself around his foot.
"YOUR COMING WITH ME TO THIS GREAT EMPTINESS HAHAHAHAHAH" Queen Kylia gave a hysterical laughter and they both were dragged into the void, with a pop the portal closed.
The Wind Beast of Calamity [Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie] has been defeated, the air will naturally grow cleaner, accelerated if you help purify it |

I cried with relief, but tears also flowed at the thought of my friends.
POV: Dracio the Fire Tyrant
I was mad, I am mad, The link between the four of us existed to keep us in check, but [Poison Leviathan] suddenly grew silent, it made us worry. Did something happen to her? That was when the onslaught of weaklings came to fight us. I slaughtered them easily but they threw themselves at me.
What is wrong?, what is this feeling of impending doom? I grew frantic, trying to ward them off as I lumbered to find a safe place.
Next thing I know, [King Glutton] went silent. My old rival, I should be glad that he was gone which would mean more land for me, but it only made me more unsettled. I grew frantic, I tried to contact Queen Kylia to tell her to run and hide, but the sound of her laughter drowned out my warnings.
I stomped on a puny human, I charred some Sprites and Dryads to ashes. I bit a pretty lady in half and savored her soft meat. but I was trying to run.
Puny mortals trying to trip me, trying to get me to stop moving. I was getting more berserk, yet I still have a friend to keep me calm, had a friend.
I felt her link disappear like [Poison Leviathan]''s and [King Glutton]''s did. I was truly alone now, no one to comfort me, no friend to talk to, NONE.
I let out a mighty roar, and my Field of Fire skill upgraded into Scorched Arena of Flames.
The surprised mortals hastily tried to shield themselves but to no avail did I let them off. Pillars of fire now roam around me, burning the pesky Wind Elves to no more than dust.
My friends, GIVE ME BACK MY FRIENDS.
I slowly drifted off into darkness, only hearing the sound of flesh tearing, people screaming as they burn.
in my mind I begged: Please, just give me back my friends
POV: Jaiken Lazlo
The improved Field of fire charred most of us into ash statues. I was lucky that I was recuperating near a river when it happened.
My head broke the water as I looked around, Charred statues of humans, plant people, and other species were scattered around, a few bodies floated on the water''s surface and the roaring of the Fire Tyrant rampaging around town like a big playground was heard.
Damn it, damn it, damn it. I looked around to see only a few survivors left. I opened an Aether Scroll, and activated it. "Dracio the Fire Tyrant has suddenly went berserk, his skills have also increased by leaps and bounds, requesting reinforcements" I hastily said into the scroll and with a snap, the scroll shut and teleported to a location back in Central (current Sanctuary)
I peered at the Fire Tyrant as he went rampage and prepared my charred gear. "IF there is anyone around, gather at the river to discuss plans" I called, soon enough a few people came, some species not human, and a couple of plant people showed up.
"We need a plan, and fast, " I exclaimed and a few people muttered, discussing amongst themselves.
"I got a plan, it''s reckless but it might work" someone piped up.
"Alright lets hear it" I said, and the person began to explain.
I observed the damage that Dracio was doing, "Its the final trial of your time, will you all surpass it and evolve into a more proficient being, or will you fall like all the other failures" I muttered,
Damn it, my popcorns out again, "Bababa, fetch me some more"
The 4 Beasts of Calamity are connected to each other to keep their sanity and to prevent them from going berserk from loneliness. When Berserk they do things to destroy the world as in their nature. The links existed to keep them from going too far.
(If last) Poison Leviathan would have flooded the world and kill all life with her poison.
(If last) King Glutton would have tried to eat the whole world via (Eating Cyclone- what he tried to do before the Guardian Obelisks sealed him)
(If last) Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie would have enshrouded the world in a venomous fog that would have decayed everything on it (Possibly the origins of Gas planets)
(If last) Dracio the Fire Tyrant would have scorched the whole earth in fire, making it a blazing hell with fire that could consume all in it''s path, even fire attribute creatures.
Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie
Died: Through the 142 Stanzas of the Void Messiah, which trapped both of them in the Void.
Battle for a Better Future (Finale)
Putting the finishing touches to a changed Queen Kylia, which included a an evolved strain of the plague she released, and an affinity to the void from where she is trapped in.
I looked over at the rampaging tyrant. who was currently burning the ruins of a city.
I wonder how they will take out the fire tyrant, The Guardian Obelisks went extinct and the Void Messiah is now trapped in the void, the Batrachotoxin Krakens are nowhere near Dracio and the Wind Elves were pretty much decimated.
Let the show continue" I smirked eating more popcorn.
POV: Jainken Lazlo.
I watched as another comrade of mine got reduced to ashes. Pulling back from the flames, I see Nordo and made my way over to him amiss dodging fire breaths, pillars of fire and tornadoes of flames.
I finally made it to him and called out his name "Nordo, this plan is falling to pieces" I exclaimed and Nordo turned to me and opened his mouth when a pillar of flames incinerated him, leaving behind his charred corpse.
I cursed myself. This was a battlefield, a moment is enough to get you killed.
I scavenged to find others, this plan was falling apart, sure it was reckless to begin with, but there goes our little hope we had left. I could imagine the horrors of what Dracio the Fire Tyrant would do in the future and thought of a last resort
I just sighed and pulled out a relic my grandparents found when they were young, a unique fire sword.
"BlazBurner" I sighed. Dwarves managed to smelt it with a fire spirit stone and is actually harmful against fire-attribute creatures.
They also told me a function for it, but no one dared to use it.
"ha ha, I guess Today is the day for that function to come to use" I smiled, tears in my eyes.
"I''m sorry guy, I won''t be able to finish your promise" I whispered, looking to the sky.
I ran to find someone, anyone still alive. I found a few people in a ditch, treating their wounds.
"Anyone who is willing to find someone after this battle?" I asked the lot of them and a young girl pipes up.
"I have the memory, I promised a few people already, might as well add another" the person spoke up.
"Find a person named Nora, probably a married woman, I don''t know the details but tell her that her husband died saving someone" I explained.
"To vague, I can''t find someone like that, why don''t you do it?" the girl asked.
"I would but I''m going to do something reckless, may cost my life as it is" I sighed.
"Okay then, I don''t know if I can find this Nora girl in a lifetime but I know a few people willing, I''ll pass it on to them, meanwhile we got volunteers for that suicide mission of yours, can''t be worse than this failed plan" the girl spoke
"I just need the Fire Tyrant distracted, Don''t die on me though, I would love for you guys to make it out alive, now come on" I spoke gesturing for the people to move.
Out of the 7 people in the ditch, about 3 of them decided to follow me.
Running toward where Dracio was, I spoke " Last time I may talk to someone after this mission, might as well introduce ourselves, I''m Jaiken Lazlo, Interested in smithing" I laughed.
"Cordelia Mince, Apricot (No last name), and Kyte Wagner" the three of them introduced themselves
"Nice meeting you all, now lets go defeat this tyrant" I bellowed and we charged.
First off, Cordelia and Apricot charged in, drawing their bows and pestered the Tyrant with arrows. Kyte flew toward the Tyrant with some god-like speed and started to punch the dragon hard.
Dracio roared sending out a fire breath, just like his name suggested, Kyte kited the breath attack, while Cordelia and Apricot retreated as to not be hit.
I slowly made way around the head to climb the tail and onto the back.
The first casualty was Apricot, she tripped on the charred remains of someone and was consumed by a fire breath. at this point I was on his lower back. The next casualty was Kyte who was unable to dodge another attack and was gobbled up.
By the time I reached his neck Cordelia tripped and Dracio was ready to unleash another attack.
"BlazBurner, Fire Enhancement: Consume" I spoke and the sword that I pulled out erupted in my hands becoming a huge monstrosity.
The flames descended and started to wrap around Dracio.
I tried to run but the flames behind me were trying to gobble me up as well.
Dracio roared, bucking and rolling to extinguish the flames, I with the fleeting moments of my life, I was crushed by Dracio and consumed by fire.
"Who knew they had that potential" I laughed, at the sword that was busy eating Dracio alive. Dracio was obviously uncomfortable, he was being eaten by fire, the very element he claimed king to.
"Poor poor Dracio, with this, Sof seems to be a safer place now, I don''t like it at all"
"Sadly they didn''t pick them up, I made it such a challenge and suitable rewards were with the package. auhh, tsk tsk, Maybe someone will pick up the reward from Dracio" I muttered.
I watched as Dracio gave a huge cry before falling onto his side. the fire managed to strip Dracio of everything, even his bones were consumed.
"Species Library, identify that fire" I asked and the results came up.
"Fire Enhancement: The Fire''s Hunger: A special fire that consumes everything in it''s path, though it has a short duration, it will absolutely decimate all that stand in it''s way, to use this though, the caster almost always is consumed by these very flames"
I whisled. "Renny, do you think you want to add this to any of your fire worshipers" I asked.
"No way, sure it is a sure-kill fire magic, but it is to sure-kill, it consumes everything, even the caster, I love my worshipers, why sacrifice them" Renny bursted with anger.
"so you do indeed love them" I relaxed.
I looked onto the scene to find one of the humans walking up to the place where Dracio died. I was relieved to find a shining object was still there.
"I did put unbreakable" I smiled and the human girl picked it up.
Congradulations on defeating Dracio, you are rewarded the Fire Sword: [Purgatory]. Flames are known to destroy, decimate and eat all in their path, but Purgatory is a place where one is cleansed of their sins.
Special Effect: Purgatory does fire damage that heals allies, but damages enemies.
Special Effect: Those who have committed grave sins will take extra damage, while those who are not tainted will recieve extra healing (Will not harm anyone is pure)
Since the [Humans] are the ones who retrieved [Purgatory] first, they are granted a race bonus of +20% fire resistant and natural affinity to flames (Lesser)(this goes for all humans and human subspecies) |
I was sadden that the Batrachotoxin Krakens weren''t able to retrieve the Water Sword: [Abyss] then again, it was pitch black and they had to dig the sword out of Poison Leviathan, with the pressure of how deep the abyss they fought in was, they wouldn''t have had time.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Earth Sword: [Atlas] and Wind Sword [Katrina] were both sealed as both Calamity Beasts of their element were sealed instead of killed.
"Oh well, they have another chance to grab them" I said and looked as around the world the message appeared in front of every living being.
The Fire Beast of Calamity: Dracio the Fire Tyrant, has been defeated.
Due to both King Glutton and Dracio the Fire Tyrant being defeated, the earth will be more prosperous.
The soil more fertile,while the land underneath will host more precious metals |
A time of prosperity has arrived, build the foundation for who knows when the next calamities will strike |
POV: Judy Coriage
We all celebrated, the skies were getting clearer, and cleaner with each passing day. I had found Luke, injured but alive, and we had a silent vigil together to mourn our friends Carla and Desmos who gave their lives to defeat Queen Kylia.
Maybe I should ask him now, I thought, then an image of Desmos flashed in my mind.
No not him, he''s dead, but..... he liked me. Tears formed in my eyes. Why.... why did you have to suddenly confess to me like that and then go die.
I wanted to confess, but with these thoughts it was making it hard for me to act.
"Whats wrong Judy" Luke asked when he saw my crying face.
"I....I want to confess..... but my thoughts are fighting me" I cried.
"Confess what?... A crime?....Love?" Luke asked, his smiling face forming the frown of concern.
"I want to confess to you....I like you" I whispered. There I said it, please accept... if not then maybe we can still be friends... right?"
"Oh"
Luke was taken back by my sudden confession.
"Well... I don''t know how to respond to that" he laughed nervously, a complete difference to his laid-back and cheerful self.
"If you want to, yes or no works for me either way" I sniffed.
"Well. to say the least....I already have a girlfriend" he said blushing.
My mouth dropped. "Bu...But you never hanged out with anyone but Carla, Desmos and I" I was shocked at his sudden confession.
"You see, they''re not Wind Disciples like us" Luke explained.
"They?" I asked.
"Whoops, I shouldn''t have said that" Luke took a step back and prepared to run
"I take back my confession, you better come back here and explain everything to me you jerk" I screamed chasing him around.
POV: Mariellea
It was custom to bury the remains of Bunumans. I watched as they put my friend Cineloi into the ground and began to list all as they gave a speech about her.
"Cineloi Artruio, a fine Bunuman and great warrior. looking out for her comrades she protected them as if her life depended on it. Loved by all, she was known to help those in need, from elderly to children. A list of her achievements that she has earned consists of:
Rank: 1st Lieutenant of Spec Ops.
5 Years of Service Medal
Medal of Honor for Destruction of a Hostile Force.
Special Recognition for 2nd most defeated without injuries.
Award for community friendly x10 in a row.
For any friends that want to talk about Cineloi please step up now, for we honor the passing of a great member of this community." The Grave Digger announced.
I wiped the tears from my eyes and started to walk up, I felt the eyes on me as I looked around to see her relatives, her sisters crying, our friends in tears.
"Cineloi was a great member of this community as well as a great friend to us all. I remember the time I was feeling down and she knew exactly how to cheer me up. She almost always knew how to deal with any situation that may occur and I was grateful for it. These past few years that I have known her, she was the light of my day, always there for me when I needed her, always knowing what I needed even if I forgot it myself. The light that shined in my life, bringing happiness and fun. I will surely miss her for she was like a true sister to me." I spoke.
As I walked away from the podium I felt the tears coming to my eyes. "Don''t cry, not now, wait, just wait, till I can find somewhere to cry" I quickened my pace to my seat, to hide my tears.
Cordelia Mince: POV.
I looked at the graves of Apricot, Kyte and finally that guy who sacrificed himself to kill Dracio.
"Jaiken, you admit it was a suicide plan but why." I asked the silent grave.
I could understand the reason for killing Dracio, but that wouldn''t explain why he let others die when he could have pulled the sword out from the very beginning. He could have saved thousands of lives.
"I am sure you have your circumstances but still..." Tears blinded my vision ".. Apricot and Kyte might have lived, even that person who wanted to tell Nora something could have seen her once more" I broke down there and then, my wails filled the graveyard, adding to its dreadful mood.
I felt a hand on my back and looked up to see someone a few years younger than me, maybe even a teenager at most.
"Don''t cry, there there, everything is going to be alright sweetie" the girled cooed, trying to soothe me. I, a grown woman, being soothed by a mere child I laughed at how pitiful I was.
"Your feeling better now, so what brings you here" the girl asked.
"Some friends died in the battle" I replied.
"Ah my husband died too, I just received the notice a few days ago" the girl spoke "I left my daughters to the grave when I heard you"
This teenager was a mother? The thought confused me greatly.
"How did you get children at your age?" I asked
"I had them at 12, I''m 17 now, their daddy is so proud of them, he promised them treasures after the battle, but he never did show up" the girl explained.
"What is your name, I might want to meet them, give them treasures in their father''s steed" I replied.
"I am called Nora, if you want to give them presents then come, I''m sure it would take their mind off their late father"
"I might have something to tell you to actually" I said
We both walked away, talking. meanwhile the sword on my hip glowed without me knowing.
Fire Sword: [Purgatory] has been cursed |
A glint of evil flashes in the gem embedded in the hilt
Gods Trial: Grand Fire Curse
I was swearing, cursing the higher ups and scrolling through the Fire Enhancement Information.
I was happy that these people finally defeated the Calamity beasts, and I wanted to sincerely reward them too.
I actually was going to kick back and watch them grow. Then the message pops up
The Fire Sword: Purgatory has been cursed.
Type of Curse: Sentient.
Identity: Fire Enhancement Consume, Fire Beast Eremus, Fire Sword Purgatory, Grand Fire Curse.
Fire Enhancement Consume: A last resort attack that consumes all in its path, despite a low duration, it is known to leave nothing behind.
Fire Beast Eremus: A great beast of fire that takes the form of a bat, He is a being of pure 10,000 degree flames, and anything it eats or touches is burned into nothing.
Fire Sword Purgatory: A sword of fire made by the goddess who created the world, the Grand Fire curse changes this holy sword into a cursed sword.
Grand Fire Curse: A grand curse that was in the fire enhancement used to defeat Dracio the Fire Tyrant. After it lost its sword form it looked for the nearest vessel to house it, which was the Fire Sword: Purgatory.
|
The time I finally give these people a break god sends me a disaster to deal with.
¡°GOD¡± I bellowed.
¡°You called?¡± he smirked.
¡°What is this Grand Fire Curse you put on my sword?¡± I interrogated him.
¡°Oh what could you possibly mean?¡± he started to slowly back away from me.
I opened the message and showed him.
¡°Oh that one, well you see¡± he started to explain on how he has these trials and this is the first trial.
¡°Great I just finished getting them through a trial myself, can you postpone this¡±
¡°Ah to late, once I¡¯ve set it I can¡¯t reverse it, so show me what you will do with this.¡± God says to me and he dissipates into nothing.
God damn it God. I cursed.
I put my hands together and started to think on a solution.
For a Fire curse I could break it with some water curse. I thought about the Water Sword: Abyss ,
That is too far out of their reach, the location is truly in an Abyss, and who knows how deep it goes. Even the octopuses
couldn¡¯t handle the pressure.
What to do, what to do. I walked back and forth.
I could create a seal to hold the curse. But that would only delay the inevitable. God had said that I need to defeat the curse.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
I can¡¯t think of anything for now, Might as well create a vessel to hold this curse and seal it.
Since it was a fire curse, I wanted to get a fire creature to hold the curse but then I thought of something.
What if God decided to make a Water Curse, Wind Curse and Earth Curse. So I chose a the most attribute neutral creature a human.
I extended her lifespan to nearly infinity, and sent her the message to retrieve the sword.
Now that I had a solution for the curse I just had to watch it be executed. I wanted to make sure the curse is gone.
At first the girl wandered aimlessly trying to find the sword. She was capable of taking care of herself, when she met with wild monsters. She could also resist most mind-type traps.
After traveling for many years she finally chanced a meeting with the wielder of Purgatory.
The Grand Fire Curse was continuously eating away at the body of the wielder and by the time the vessel had met with the the owner of Purgatory, the owner''s body was withered, she had already lost the ability to move, and her conscience had already settled into a coma-like state.
"Purgatory is a holy sword that was cursed, Yinna shall remove the curse from you, at the point of taking the curse for Yinna. May you get better soon" the vessel speaks and with a bow takes the sword and walks away with it.
Send Divine message: 10 DP, "Alright Yinna, to seal the curse within you, you must stab yourself with it, then chant these words. (I offer this body to the curse, as a token of acceptance. Use my body according to your will, for I am your vessel, the carrier of this curse.)
Yinna says it in the exact same way, expect she replaced I with Yinna. and slight grammar corrections and stabs herself with the sword,
Purgatory was set ablaze, the fire slowly crawling over to Yinna''s body. Amazingly enough it didn''t burn Yinna into a crisp and settled itself deep within her soul. Yinna sets Purgatory aside and starts to walk away. muttering under her breath.
A giant seal appeared on Yinna''s body and she hid it with a cloak.
"Good job vessel, until we find a way to destroy it I task you on sealing and keeping the curse, to make sure it doesn''t go rampant" I salute Yinna.
"Yinna understands, Yinna will keep the curse safe till then" Yinna replies and she goes to wander.
Now it is time to research on what to do about this curse and how to get rid of it
Era of Peace? and a New World.
Finally everything settled down. I looked at the screens. the Grand Fire Curse seemed like a dangerous curse yet nothing bad happened. Strange..... truly strange.
I pushed the thought out of my mind and looked at everyone spreading out to claim territory, establish towns and cities, governments, even trade routes and alliances between the kingdoms that started to pop up.
I decided it was time to check the rest of the moons and the planet Aethereon.
Status Report:
Jugganautilus: the Water Moon. A thriving community of fishes, water mammals, Aeriola has blown countless sand onto the planet. The obsidian part on the ring of water has crumbled. pieces of it fall to the water planet below.

Humans have harvested Aquatic trees, using their wood as boats, and tools. The humans have managed to tame Hydras as livestock, using them for meat, leather, tools and weapons. Some are outfitted to be mounts and pets.
Water nymphs are considered gods amongst the humans but humans have started to disregard them as they create or live on their own islands or floating homes, making the Water Nymphs to become sulky, evolving into Sirens, and a hybrid between fish and Nymph is a mermaid/merman.
Four Armed Sahuagin dug into the core of the planet, creating an extensive cavern system. They have tamed (lesser Octopuses) and train them up to be Abyssal Krakens. These krakens assault Human ships and drag them for the Sahuagin to eat.
A war between the Humans and the Sahuagin are in the middle stages, where no side is winning or losing the war.
Bacteria in the water ring has evolved into fishes, dolphins and whales, some of them fall to the planet below, few survive and create a starting population.

They are required to be knowledgeable about survival and as a coming of age test for boys of 15, are normally throw out into the wilderness for a year.
When the boy comes back at 16 years of age, they are allowed back into the society if he shows proof of survival. (Normally the land he cultivated and built himself) He is then allowed to choose a marriage partner and have a trial period before marriage.
Rexria is more military. The People are ruled by an iron fist dictator who allows the people to do what they want, but carefully monitors them in the event of disrupting the public order. It is required to get self defense training and a few years service in the army.

I laughed to myself. Everywhere there was a war going on but Sof is the only one peaceful?
I looked at Terra-Collant, Demon Lord wants to summon from the void...... Can I even look into the void?.
As god of your world, you can look into the void of your solar system*
Solar System- You can add planets to your solar system, you can either spend a 10 Million Divine Points to create a new starting planet (Bare rock) 30 Million to copy an existing planet/moon. or 60 Million Divine Points to randomly summon a planet from another solar system.
Planets/Moons in your solar system as of now (1/5) Maximum as of now is (3)
The void is an existence that traverses through many planes of reality.
The void can be considered a place you can get status reports from.
Status Report: The Void- the existence that can link all your planets and moons into one location, This place is full of Aether and Nether, as it is the birthplace of this life energy.
The void is an empty nothingness, but the remains of golems, and all the objects sucked into the void has turned it into a floating asteroid field where Shadow Creatures roam the land.
Creatures of the Void: Various Voidstone creatures, Golems, Kylia the Plague Valkyrie, Void Messiah,
Plants of the Void: Void Vine, Skeleton Trees, Void Ore,
|
I was honestly surprised from this new information. I grinned. "Kylia, you''re alive"
I started thinking. I came up with a great idea.
What if I could put a creature into the void?
I looked at the extensive list of creatures and plants I have on my planet and found some suitable targets for testing.
"World Builder send two Dune Rhinos, Thorny Vine Queens, Demented Void Frogadiers, Aerolite Garudas, Humans, Slime Dopplegangers, and Moss Bunumans.
I Got Tired of Being a God, So I Began a Journey in the Mortal Realm
A portal to the void has opened and has sent the creatures you have requested has been sent to the void. The following changes have occurred between the species.
Dune Rhinos ¨C The rhinos are infused with the energies of the void, making them close relatives to Void Golems. Their skin cracks, and the energies of the void is visible. (Void-stone Rhino)
Thorny Vine Queens- The energies of the void are infused into their chlorophyll, making their skin and veins glow ominously purple. They feed off of void energies and require souls from time to time, they are a species of soul stealers. (Soul Trap Vine Queen)
Demented Void Frogadiers ¨C Before, they had a slight affinity to the void, now that they have entered the void plane, they are enlightened, they are now capable of using their powers of the void to full extent (Frogadier Void Disciples)
Aerolite Garudas ¨C Their evolution path of Void Messiah required them to understand the deeper meanings of the void, now that they are in the void itself, they began to understand it beyond prior knowledge. They have evolved into Void Messiahs.
Humans ¨C The void is not a place for humans, constant dangers and with no light to produce food, the humans have turned into carnivores, feasting on any meat they can find, and in desperate situations, it includes themselves. , in the absence of water, humans have substituted it with blood.( Sunken Vampires.)
Slime Dopplegangers- the slimes are taken over by various shadow creatures, they are now part slime part shadow, some remain slime while others become Shadow Doppelgangers. The diversity of what they can change into has greatly changed due to the many forms the slime doppleganger can take into. This improves the creativity of Voidstone Creatures.,
Moss Bunumans.- like the Thorny Vine Queens the void has infused with their chlorophylls and it naturally feed off void energies, in places of no void it will feed of soul energy, which is mainly supplied by the bunuman. The bunuman likes to go soul hunting to have the void moss to feed off of, they use glyphs, seals, and trinkets to take a soul from their victim and infuse it into the moss.
|
I was elated by the news of a rapid change to the void already. With the introduction of void moss (the pelt that falls off the bunumans when they shed). The void stone creatures were relentless though they assaulted everything that moved, even their own kind. I saw a Sunken Vampire get chopped to pieces by a Void Stone Mantis before the mantis was crushed into the ground and split apart by a Void Stone Hawk
Truly a world of survival. I look at Sof in disappointment, I mean that what it¡¯s original purpose was, If I wanted a hustling society I would have placed them on Aethereon.
Oh well, whats done is done, I looked at the pantheon of gods, all issuing orders to demi-gods and followers, blessing and cursing all who were beneath them.
The four elemental moons and Aethereon each had animals I would have found in my original world, though slightly altered in some way or another, I am sure Deers don¡¯t have plated armor. Neither do Chickens breathe fire, or cows with capable jumping abilities. Heck fishes can crawl on land, if you call flopping short distances crawling. Beastmen, Elves, Dwarves, Fairies, Orcs, and other common fantasy races have appeared.
Nether was also a growing thing, mainly found in places with an insane death amount, like the ruins of the old cities when the Calamities rampaged. Great liches began to rule the undead of multiple races.
There is a thing among my subordinates about blessed Heroes, to them it was a game where they would randomly bless a child that was about to be born, and then see what great deeds the Hero would do in their life time, Some went around accomplishing great deeds, going down in history as heroes, others die painfully in a quest to hard for them and their current powers, and yet more live their lives as peasants, unaware of the powers they hold, and yet even more are persecuted because their power is mistaken for dark magic. It was a funny thing truly, watching the hero you choose live their life.
Oh a great idea, I went through my powers available to me searching haphazardly for the one i wanted to find.
[Alien Invasion] not what I am looking for.
[Gene Overload] Interesting but not what I was looking for.
[Core Explosion] VERY INTERESTING, yet I will save that for a later date, so no.
For the next three days and night I looked through the many commands and controls I, the god of this solar system was capable of yet it could not be found, but finally found the choice.
[Born in World] You may temporarily spend your time as one of the mortals of your planet, This is merely for passing the time in which nothing has happened.
In the duration of your stay on you planet, you may choose to temporarily forget about your godly existence in hopes of more immersion, you will return back to your role when you have died.
You have the option for choosing a preset life for yourself, or you can include a custom life for yourself, or better yet leave it to Random Chance and Lady Luck (Consult your local luck god/goddess before you choose this option) |

I was excited on the possibilities of what might happen, BaBaBa x 21, came romping up to me. ¡°Bababa x21 I assign you and the other four main gods to look over things in my steed, I will be gone for a bit of time, in the same amount of time as a human lifespan, about 40-50 years I would say.¡± I told BaBaBa x21 and he nods his multiple heads in understanding.
I gave him the reward of some more divine points and a few more heads appeared before I created myself an avatar.

I was excited I decided to look over the multiple creatures that reside on my planet and moons, there were so many possibility for me to take, but for my first time I wanted to get used to it so I chose the only familiar race that I know and trust completely.
I want to be the race Humans.

This was probably due to the fact that humans in my moons have sub-races, like the dune nomads and wind disciples on Aeriola, or the Dwarves on Terra-Collant.
I decided to allow Lady Luck to guide me (Currently eyeing Kashima the Luck Goddess and her lucky coin) and chose random. I then completed the rest of the form till it looked like this.

I rubbed my hands greedily and with a final salute to all the goldfishes.... I mean, gods, that were floating around me I pressed the button and with a flashing light I was teleported into a dark yet warm room.
I tried moving around yet I felt my muscles unable to move. I wondered how the situation was like so I used Status to identify myself.
Name: ??????
Race: Human (Lesser)
Age: -1 week (As you are not born yet, you do not have a proper age, the timer will count down to the moment your born then go up. Time remaining: 1 week)
Blessings: [Grand Water Curse]: As your destined to retrieve the Water Sword Abyss, you will hold the Grand Water Curse, as a trial from God. (He says you can still communicate him, give it a try)
[Master''s Leadership]: as the creator of all life on this solar system, they will have natural instincts to follow you, since you are in a lowly form, they will take your commands as suggestions which they may/may not want to follow.
[Bloodline of a peasant]: as a person of no importance in your last life, you will remain the same and be born in a lowly village, on the plus side, you will find great companions to accompany you through thick and thin.

I cursed to God for he decided to put another tribulation on me. I just wanted to enjoy my life, now I have to go find Yinna again and have her transfer the curse. Since my god powers are sealed I have to wander for her. God dammit it god, why can''t you make my life easy.
As I am struggling in my predicament, in a lowly corner in the far side of the world on the planet Terra-Collant, a small rift opens and the first void-stone creature to leave the void tilt it''s head and look at it''s new master. The Demon King laughs with glee at his first successful opening of the void. "I Melamotius Vernamiel Cocytus the First shall plague these lands in darkness Ha ha ha ha.
Deep within the void someone stirred after quite a long time, "Fresh Air..... I must exterminate it" a hoarse voice exhales. Queen Kylia stirs, as she slowly awakens.
A New Life Shattered, the Wind Calamity Descends
Everything was dark around me, I could only feel warmth and felt as if I was locked in a coffin, a skin-tight coffin with no room for moving.
After some time the world suddenly opened up and brightened, I let loose a cry of joy as I escaped from that dark yet warm prison. I was shocked to see an ordinary man holding me in his arms and in alarm I let loose another cry.
¡°Alia look, it is a girl, just like you wanted¡± The man smiled, handing me over to the girl that conceived me.
The woman in front of me was no more than a teenage girl of 16 years, everything about her screamed plain, the blond hair over her left shoulder, the dress she was wearing, her skin that didn¡¯t sparkle nor pale. Her eyes filled with happiness didn¡¯t even make her any prettier.
¡°Dilan my dear, we shall call her after her grandmother Julie.¡±
¡°As she shall be called, Welcome Julie, welcome to the Larkenbottom family.¡± My new father said. ¡°Julie Larkenbottom, that name seems familiar, hey wait a minute¡¡ that was my name from my old world.¡± I thought about this and when the realization hit me I cried and cried.
My father grew frantic and tried to calm me down but no matter what he did it didn¡¯t work. My new mother reacted just as frantic but she hugged me to her chest and started to nestle me, the flimsy sweet milk intruded my mouth and she soothed me.
I calmed down after that, taking in what is happening around me.
I feel like I forgot a few important things but other than that I could vaguely understand what was happening.
What was I doing again? I felt like something important slipped out of my mind. But what is this delicious liquid, I was starving for so long I just want to eat till I am full.
I mumbled and said Goo Goo and Ga Ga. like any baby would..... What did that mean?
I felt myself go drowsy and went to sleep.
Parents POV:
"Darling she is such a cutie" Aila said softly trying not to wake the new child.
"I have good feelings about her future, we must go thank the Rose family for sending their maid to help us" Dilan said, "More importantly are you okay dear, you seem quite pale."
"I will be fine, the labor of birthing new life is always a struggle, but for any mother, it is one they want to experience" Aila said and she cuddled the tiny baby in her arms.
"If you need anything just call for me, I will be here with haste" Dilan spoke and he turned to leave.
"Please goddess of growth, grant my child success in the future" the father spoke in prayer and he starts to prepare food.
(Several years later)
I wiped the sweat from her head, the training sword I held in my hands tipped toward the ground and my friends Chance and Yoshiro resting nearby.
"Finally done training Jules?" Yoshiro asked.
"Not yet, a few more and I feel like I can link my moves together" I replied
"Man you train to hard, why not take a break" Yoshiro said lounging on the grass.
"And you don''t train enough, I mean I know your a prodigy but training is still training, if you don''t work then you won''t earn" I countered.
"Ya ya, I get it just lay off me" Yoshiro sighed.
I scoffed at Yoshiro and examined his status, true he had the stats of a hero class person out of the 4 elemental type humans, he was a Dune Nomad which had high resilience and vitality, combined with the traits of a fire-attribute human his offensive power was nothing to laugh at.
I was perplexed the first time a window popped up, showing me the details of what certain objects are, what stats they have, special moves, practically everything about them.
Over time I grew accustomed to it but still, it pops up without thinking from time to time.
"Can you guys quiet down I am trying to meditate over here" Chance exclaimed, the girl sat in her meditative position
"Whats so important about your meditation anyway, are you sure it isn''t a past time" Yoshiro laughs.
"Meditating is very important to a Wind Disciple, it allows them to control their emotions and emotions, I told you many times before, are very important to Wind Disciples. " Chance retorted.
"I thought Wind Disciples required the movement of their body to activate the wind powers" I asked and Chance sighed and opened her eyes, positioning herself to lay in the grass.
"What you say is half right, in actuality there are two ways that a Wind Disciple can train, one is through toning of the body and allowing the body to become one with the wind. Those are the people you see gracefully dancing through the battlefield attacking enemies and supporting and defending their allies. Their flaw is when their movement is interrupted." Chance explained.
"Then there is my way, which requires our minds to become one with the wind, this way we control the winds with our emotions, the more calmer the mind the more control you exert over the winds become. This method is more powerful as the mind is much deeper and harder to understand than the body, the only downside is that if you lose control of your emotions or you are distracted then you lose control of the winds and they become..... destructive."
"Alright alright, but why meditation, how is this linked to your training" Yoshiro asked.
"Meditation is the teaching of how to control the mind, it allows you to seek deeper insights of otherwise incomprehensible subjects. The Aerolite Garudas require an understanding of the void to evolve, likewise Wind Disciples need deep understanding of the winds, how they flow, why they flow, their very nature and being in this limitless world. Meditation allows me to train my mind, to be able to control my emotions, to think deeply about the mysteries of the wind."
"The path of the Wind Disciples sounds very deep, but your almost at a breakthrough... I can feel it" I replied
"Your intuition is always correct, I wonder how soon is soon" Chance laughs.
I looked away from Chance, I had used the windows again, it practically told me how close she was to advancing to the next step.
"Anyway its getting dark, we should make our way home soon, we ought to thank the guild master for letting us train once more" Yoshiro exclaimed
"Says the guy who rarely trains himself" I retorted and we all laugh.
"Just you wait, I''ll be training myself..... eventually" Yoshiro grins and Chance and I replied "Oh sure" with heavy sarcasm.
Gathering our items and entering the Adventurer''s guild we say lines and lines of high class adventurers preparing their equipment with haste.
"Old Man whats happening in here" Yoshiro called out to the guild master and he abruptly turns toward us.
"This is a disaster, a grand disaster I tell you, you kids best hide now, its not something that you can handle" the guild master says and he ushers us out of the door, Yoshiro puts up resistance and escapes his arms and firmly plants his feet inside of the guild. "I''m not leaving till you tell me whats happening. " Yoshiro exclaims stubbornly.
"Will you promise that you will leave once I explain" the guild master asked frantically and we all nodded our heads.
"Your parents might have told you but there is a tale about how back in the old days, before this tranquility on this planet there used to be four god-like beings whose aim was to destroy the world."
"We''ve heard bits and pieces of it, but isn''t that a legend" Chance asked.
The guild master give a sigh and he motioned for us to gather round. "This story is indeed true, but if you only heard bits and pieces might as well tell you the full story."
"Everyone listen up, many of you might have heard this before but I will say this once. This story is not a legend, but an actual event in history, the terror and destruction that happened was so horrific they told it as a legend. And so it begins, Once a time when the first ancestors of our species walked this planet, we were diverse, we lived separately living our own lives with no contact with each other other than for war or trade. but one event brought us together, this event was known as the birth of the Beasts of Calamities." pausing to take a breath the guild master continued.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
"Water Beast of Calamity: Poison Leviathan, a large leviathan that secreted poisons that destroyed water supplies and ecosystems, Earth Beast of Calamity: King Glutton, a giant creature that had a void-like stomach, always hungry always eating. Wind Beast of Calamity: Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie, a huntress of the sky made of poisonous gases aiming to wipe the skies clean of usable air, and finally Fire Beast of Calamity Dracio the Fire Tyrant, a dictator who burned anyone who fought against him, scorching the area around him into smithereens"
"Of these four tyrants they ruled the land for hundreds of years before the people blessed by evolution given by god, they made a plan to fight back. After many years of fighting, the first to fall was the Poison Leviathan, not long after King Glutton was sealed, it took many years after for Kylia to be banished to the void, and finally the last of them Dracio went on a rampage. years passed, the number of fighters no matter the numbers burned, stomped on, sliced to pieces, bitten in two, and many other gruesome deaths, the path of Dracio was death until a sword was broken a grand curse consumed the tyrant. " The guild master paused and looked at everyone in the eyes, including us youngsters.
"After that, the fate of the beasts was thought that they have perished, sadly that is not the case, right now we are in a crisis, and this crisis is because one of these beasts have awakened."
Once this news was heard an uproar of shouts filled the hall. "CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN, We have to stay calm in this situation, " The guild master bellows and the shouts failed to die down. Suddenly the guild master''s voice resonated from all over the guild, "Quiet down, since we have to send people to fight this beast to ensure our peace might as well tell you who you are fighting, that would be Queen Kylia the Plague Valkyrie, this mission will favor Wind Nomads, and air attribute adventurers, as well as long range combat units. Prepare yourself, everyone on this planet is gearing up for this fight"
After he said this the guild master glared at Chance, Yoshiro and I and the three of us bolted from the guild.
"This is news to us isn''t it" Yoshiro said gloomily,
I was about to say something when a spire of gas struck a place in the distance and the wails of death was heard from the initial place of the impact. "Isn''t that the location of our village" Chance asked distraught.
"Please don''t let it be, please no, FATHER, MOTHER" I screamed and ran toward the village with my friends closely after me.
it took an hour but when we arrived at the scene, all that was left was dried corpses, many were smoldering and the area was degrading as if poison coated everything.
Chance lost it, she screamed and rolled herself into a ball, her whimpers affecting the mood for the rest of us. Yoshiro looked around uneasily, his guard seemed to be put up but he was trembling, I myself was in a daze, I could only see the smoldering rubble that used to be my house. the wood eaten away till it was as brittle as decayed wood. the roof collapsed into the house and half of the walls remained standing. from the doorway a shriveled hand was seen. a familiar ring glinted on the hand but it was corroded and partially melted.
I wanted to walk forward but Yoshiro held me back, I advanced forward again but this time he slammed me against the floor, my vision blacks out for a few seconds before I regain my sight, feeling my legs and arms tied up.
"Don''t go in there, that is a field of death, ready to claim it''s victims just from breathing in, let Chance clear the way first" Yoshrio said and he gave a pitiful look at Chance, who seemed broken, she curled herself into a fetus position, tears in her empty eyes, and short gasps of incomprehensible words muttered from her mouth.
"Despite that plan it might take a while" Yoshiro sighed.
In the distance another spire of gas descended onto the earth and a mushroom cloud of death appeared.
"The power of Kylia, how terrifying" I muttered in my daze, a sudden flashback happened in my mind, I could see Kylia in the skies and she was fighting a swarm of fighters, many people fell from her Plague Soldiers and her decay arrows. In the distance a group of people were protecting a very strange Aerolite Garuda, it had many more wings than a regular garuda, but it was darker in color, this strange creature appeared to be chanting something.
At the last few syllables, don''t ask me how I know, Kylia noticed the garuda and shot an arrow at it, at the split second before the arrow hit a fellow took the arrow and fell to his death as a portal opened and Kylia along with the strange garuda both were sucked in it.
A title flashed after the memory ended and it said "The Sealing of the Wind Beast of Calamity by Mesphisto the Void Messiah.
I came back from the memory fully alert and I noticed movement. "Who goes there" I called and a few adventurers from the guild appeared.
"Your some of the lucky ones I take it" an adventurer asked as he observed the scene. "Can you tell us what happened."
Yoshiro shook his head "We arrived here after the spire of gas struck, we found it like this but my instincts told me that this place is poisoned, one step into it and we decay instantly. "
"I see, Arielle come clear the way, the kid claims poison gas, Inda come heal this girl" the guy asked and two people stepped up, one of them was a wind disciple like Chance and the other had a shifting outline, a water spirit.
The girl named Arielle sat in a meditative position and the winds swirled around her, before it advanced into the village.
"The boy is right, this air is very poisonous, its so heavy with poison my winds can barely move it, this is a good thing since it means the winds of the world won''t shift the poison" Arielle said softly, meanwhile the water spirit named Inda put her hand on Chance''s head and recited some words, a pulsing blue light wrapping around Chance''s forehead.
After many hours the area of the town was finally safe enough to explore and what met our sight was gruesome, the decaying and decomposed bodies of many, nothing escaped decay, metal, wood, humans, practically everything died and rotted away.
I crouched next to the hand with the ring on it. "Mother......" I whispered, tears pooling in my eyes. I sat down and took the ring from her hand, and then took dirt and attempted to bury her.
Someone from the adventurer''s party came to help by moving the earth through his magic, we did this for the other villagers including Chance''s siblings and Yoshiro''s grandfather. As we all were finishing up a shadow started to descend and we all looked up to see a valkyrie made of gas.
"Puny mortals, answer me this" Kylia asked, her speech and body movements seemed crazed.
"My comrades..... why can''t I hear them, ......where have they gone, .....why do they not answer my calls" her voice breaks many times as she repeats this sentence over and over again.
"RUN" Arielle exclaims and with a push the winds send us all flying, and the area that we once were standing in got converged by gases, the screams of Arielle who remained behind spread terror into everyone present, her body decaying rapidly stumbled from the gas before she fell to the ground as a shriveled corpse.
"You know something?, tell me, TELL ME...." Kylia cried out in mad grief and a dozen Plague Soldiers materialized around her.
Sorry for the hiatus, I was very busy with school and work, hopefully I can get another chapter out to you guys soon.
Remember to give me any feedback you want to give me, whether it is good or bad on my part, like hate for how this story is going, or what elements you like about this. Fire your insults and compliments away. I will gladly accept them.

Escape and Quest for a Certain Sword.
The twelve Plague soldiers were a hassle to deal with, anything that touched them decayed at a slow rate but they decayed nonetheless. One of the adventurers screamed out when the plague soldier cut their body . When this happened the plague soldier became a cloud of smoke and entered the body, The unlucky person screamed out as their skin shriveled up and decayed.
I felt helpless when the adventurers fought so I donned my sword and ran forward, impaling one of the Plague Soldiers
undefined
The Plague soldiers growled and the part that I stabbed turned to smoke and reformed itself. It quickly parried a blow with the person it was fighting before turning around to face me.
I trembled at the sight of the faceless helmet, suddenly the face part of the helmet lit up like there was a spark and a blast of fiery smog billowed forward and tried to consume me. Chance shouted out and a wind blew the smog back at the soldier which consumed it.
"They are not resistant to their own smog" I announced this observation and charged toward another Plague soldiers.
The plague soldiers , out of the 12 about 7 were left, threw their swords to the side and out came spears and shields. Two of the seven stepped forward while the other Plague Solders gathered in a pentagon, thrusting their spears toward the center of them, one of the soldier''s faces lit up ad a fiery gas piled into the center of the pentagon. Shortly after a second one started to secrete a smoke from it''s body, the smoke swirling toward the center where the fiery gas was.
"I got a bad feeling about this" Yoshiro muttered and he dashed forward, hoping to stop the formation. The two Plague Soldiers not part of the formation dashed forward to meet Yoshiro head on,
A few of us also went into assist him, due to our numbers we easily suppressed and defeated the two guards.
We all turned to face the formation when the last soldier of the pentagon pulsed lightning and threw it into the center. The fiery gas, smoke, icy winds, acid rain, and finally lightning merged together, the recoil of merging flew back and subtly destroyed the Plague Soldiers, their smoking husks falling over and a smoking pillar in the center of the pentagon.
Everyone kept their guard up, "Kazar, Neeko, check out the pillar" the leader said and two people nodded their heads and advanced forward.
"The feeling of unease is still here... GET AWAY" Yoshiro exclaimed and he threw his weapon toward the pillar.
The weapon was deflected and a creature dragged itself out of the pillar of smoke. With a mighty roar it revealed itself
undefined
The creature''s chest burst open and tendrils of gas forced themselves into Neeko and Kazar, the plague destroying their insides, and their body decaying into yellow husks.
" Plague Stalker" Someone cried out and the cleric sent a purification spell on the beast which made it yell out in pain.
The Plague Stalker ran rampant and went for the nearest person which turned out to be Yoshiro.
Having thrown his weapon, Yoshiro was now defenseless and he didn''t run because he had no time to run.
Upon seconds the Plague Stalker reached Yoshiro and swiped it''s claws at him, Yoshiro jumped up, kicking himself off the hand of the beast and lunged forward.
The Plague Stalker accepted Yoshiro''s attack head on and then embraced him in it''s sickly arms. the head of the beast looms closer, it''s mouth extending, rows of sharp teeth ready to bite.
I immediately ran forward to help Yoshiro out, I felt a wind pushing my forward and I knew that Chance was helping me out as well.
With a yell I took my sword and impaled it in the side of the stalker, effectively making it let go of Yoshiro.. Wailing in pain, the Stalker slumped forward and billowing from it''s back, a cloud of decaying smog blew forward. I dodged back, running for my life, dragging Yoshiro, Chance and the other wind disciple attempting to repel the smog.
As I was running for my life I realized that it has been to quiet, where did the crazy Wind Beast of Calamity go? Why isn''t she asking us questions like she wanted to hear from us?
I suddenly felt myself sent flying, Yoshiro escaping my arms and we both landed and rolled, stpping at someone''s feet.
Looking up I see that the area around us was covered by a yellowish smog, the only thing keeping them at bay was a wind forcefield that prevented them from converging on us.
" Quick to act my dearies, now that your trapped in that bubble shield, act fast and tell me what you know about the other calamities" Kylia cackled.
"Anyone want to tell me, or should I start taking people, you tell me" Kylia smiled, At this comment a tendril of smoke extended into the air forcefield and grabbed a person, dragging them into the smog, Their screams echoed and shattered our courage.
Many of us started to tremble, certain death has bared it''s fangs at us and we the hunted had no more energy to run away, cornered and trapped. We could only wait for death to claim us.
"What do you want to know ole great one" one of the adventurers cried out, He had his hands together in prayer, tears streaming from his eyes and snot dribbled down his face.
"One who wants to cooperate finally, tell me TELL ME, where..... where have my friends gone, they do not answer my calls, they do not calm my presence like they should."
"They have been slaughtered, Dracio the Fire Tyrant has fallen, consumed by his own flames, Poison Leviathan has fallen, dead in the depths of the sea. King Glutton is sealed, forever trapped under his mountain. I have told you what you need to know, spare me please, I beg of you, I got family" the guy quickly spit out. begging for mercy as he explained.
Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
With a cry filled with grief and anger tendrils of smoke came and dragged the guy into the smog, "WHYYYY" the guy cried out and his scream filled the air before being snuffed out in a matter of seconds.
With him gone, the group has been reduced to Chance, Yoshiro, Party Leader, Indra and two others and I.
"I should smite you all for you have angered me.... but I am merciful, I shall spare you for now, try to get out, I am sure you can''t handle the strain of keeping the shield up for long, not after I had broken it a few times." Kylia cackled and with a whoosh, she disappeared into the horizon, in the distance another pillar of smog billowed up, eradicating yet another village.
"What are we going to do, how thick do you think this fog is" one of the two other people
"Calm down Roeic we can get out of here" the leader exclaimed but this message wasn''t received so the leader kicked Roeic to the ground.
"I said calm down man, we got this, we can get out of here"
"It''s hopeless we can''t get out of here, one step outside and we die"
"And we can get out, don''t give up hope yet, Chance, Airis how are you doing with the air" the leader shouted.
"The gas is heavy, it will take a while, maybe 10 days to clear everything, but if we make a passage then we can shorten that time to maybe 2 or 3 days" Airis replied.
"Good, make it happen" the leader ordered.
"On it boss" Airis said
We all just sat around,
"What''s your group called" I asked the leader and he smiles.
"We call ourselves Winds of Petal Tea, or Wopt for short. sadly our squad was decimated from about 13 to 5, What about you youngsters, any plans now that this place is in ruins?"
"With these circumstances, I should say that finding a way to end the Wind Calamity before anything else, maybe find a nice meadow somewhere and live there, I can tell this battle will be enough for a life time" I replied.
"Hmm, that is a good retirement plan, mind if I joined you" the leader joked on the last part.
"It''s my dream, I''m not willing to share" I replied and the leader laughs.
With nothing better to do the group of us talked as a path was cleared for us.
I learned many things about the group and some information that could be useful.
The leader was called George but he prefers to be called leader, boss, or captain.
I learned various grips for the sword, as well as methods to train with each of the grip.
Inda wanted to be a chef, but food preparations are spoiled when she gets her hands on them since she is a water spirit.
Roeic dreams of being a war hero, a chance that can now be granted but his cowardly nature is his greatest obstacle.
Airis is interested in astronomy, hints of other beings in space has sparked her interest greatly.
I learned many more about their group and with a great cry of joy both Chance and Airis hugged each other.
"We did it" Chance exclaimed, and then she passed out from exhaustion.
Everyone smiled and everyone was weary, the stress of being stuck in an enclosed death trap was slowly dissipating.
"Before I pass out......" Airis said groggily, "The size of the tunnel is small, crawling only....... head down, don...... don''t" Airis was swaying and then she finally said "Don''t move if you hear noise, the plague stalker is still out there" and then Airis fell to the ground snoring.
"Take a good rest the two of you, you did good" George said and then he motioned for people to go through the tunnel.
"Tell them send more wind disciples over, I''m staying here to care for them, anyone who wants to go can go, I expect you all to be out there fighting Kylia. George said to everyone and then points to Yoshiro and I. "The two of you youngers, not much to say since you helped out in fighting, but yer methods are reckless, wait a bit before you start to help, its for yer own good."
We both nodded and started to move through the wind tunnel, Yoshiro went first, next went a sleeping Chance, who was dragged by Yoshiro, and then there was me, who pushed Chance.
We made our way through the tunnel, about 100 meters long, following the advice of Airis as we went. Occasionally we would hear the noise of a beast moving about, sometimes the sound of chewing. but everytime we heard something we paused and waited for it to go away.
Finally we breached the smog cloud and stretched our bodies.
"Ahhhh, freedom finally" Yoshiro exhaled and I patted him on the back, "We got this, we may not be able to contribute now, but let us get stronger." I smiled and he returned a grin.
Warning! Warning! a God-Class Quest has been activated:
Quest: Fate is kind to those who fight to live, the gods have created four legendary swords that are known to be able to purge the world, One was found but is currently missing, the other three are of unknown origins.

Reward: Water Sword: Abyss, Power of the Gods,
[Hidden reward/ if Humans (Lesser) finds it] (only viewable by you) Species: Humans (lesser) will evolve into Deep Trench Humans.
|
I gasped as the quest popped up in front of me
"Did you get the quest too?" Yoshiro asked me and I nod my head.
"Then I guess we know our course of action" he grins and I nod my head.
"As soon as Chance wakes up we are leaving for the coast immediately" I said.
"Why wait, lets drag her" Yoshiro replied and then he picked her up in a piggy back and started to run.
"Hey wait for me" I exclaimed and ran after them,
Into the Depths
Julie sliced the plague soldier in half, she then kicked it away before it imploded on her.
"Pesky Implosion types, Why can''t I get an electric spitter" She pouted and turned to face the next opponent
The Plague is underlings of Kylia, and despite their naming of Soldiers, Beasts, Juggernauts, and more, they also have their own types.
There was pyro, electric, smog, blizzard, acidic liquids, implosions, explosions, and more. Each of them were destructive in nature, to people, to everything in general.
The Plague soldier thrusted his spear forward, and Julie ran her blade along the edge, blocking it, and then forcing a parry, The gem on my sword lit up and the Plague soldier screamed as the sword penetrated the head.
Throwing the husk aside Julie looked to see Yoshiro finishing off his batch of opponents. Chance had a field of tornadoes, preventing the husks from forming, before subjugating the Plague through poisonous smog.
In addition to her two friends, she turn to see the newcomers to the group.
Roa- A blazing construct who was skilled in tanking damage, his fiery body also damaged his opponents when they try to attack. As a puppet-type being, he could easily replace any damaged body parts with crafted materials.
Isla- A sprite who knew a wide range of healing and defensive spells. She can quickly fly around to heal those in need due to her small size, she is also capable to dodging many obstacles. Again, despite her small size, she is a huge glutton, and the food expenses are mostly from her.
Tis''CKet''Taru- A trio of insects that consists of Adamantium Fortress Spider, Berserk Mantis and Arclight Wasp, They are mainly used for transportation and cargo hauling, but they in themselves are capable fighters.
Julie smiled as she saw all her friends together, the quest they all started to defeat Kylia has brought them to meet each other. Roa wanted to find out the origins of the planet they were on. Isla wanted to help out, to do whatever she could to help defeat Kylia. The insects just wanted to travel during dangerous times, mostly because their hives were destroyed by the Extinction Pillars that Kylia summons.
Following the hints of the gods, Julie and her friends were able to travel around, getting the necessary equipment for their dive, and the locations of the Sword.
The morning they set sail in the Nova-Gradro Sea, towards the approximate location of Poison Trench, the original home of the Poison Leviathan. Roa looked over the ship''s edge, looking at the water below. "Are we sure the Drya-Moss will keep me safe kuhu"
"You worry on liquid to great, already tested it, is it not?" CKet hissed, she pulled herself to the edge alongside Roa and peered over the edge with him.
Julie sat at the bow of the ship, peering at the horizon, her sword on her back. Nearby Chance was meditating, the gentle sea breeze swirled around her. Yoshiro on the other hand was busy sparing with Tis, the person with the strongest attack, vs the insect with the strongest defense. Yoshiro rushed forward spear in hand, looking for a weak point her Tis''s defense and Tis fired a web to restrict his movements.
Next to Chance the Arclight Wasp was napping, after a night of patrol, Taru was sleeping soundly and sun-basking at the same time. The sight of the two brought a sense of tranquility to Julie. "When this is over, I believe we should get together and live the rest of our lives in peace" Julie said to herself. Smiling she turned and looked toward the horizon once more.
Time passed, in the distance an Extinction pillar rose around a mountain, but our little boat chugged along the waters, the water itself started to turn an acidic green color and the sound of sizzling was heard.
The guard at the time was CKet and she screeched out a warning "Grah the Aslima Grass, we entered toxic territory" she chitters and Chance and Tis rush to grab the grass from the storage.
Suddenly a horrid screech coarse through the night and Julie looked toward the skies. A smoky being was currently grappling with Tura, Tura screeched out again, as the smoky being tore off another one of her wings before stabbing it''s hands inside of her thorax, slowing pulling it apart, attempting to tear her in half.
Yoshiro grabs his spear and lobs it toward the intruder but it nimbly dodges it, Tura starts to drop and CKet jumps up to catch her. The smoky being suddenly appears and attempts to cut Cket in half but she moves her body so that it grazes her.
Landing with Tura in hand, CKet landed, her prothorax bleeding haemolyph. CKet roared and her green body started to turn red and her movements and power doubled. Charging forward toward the smoky being, unknowing to her, that she had already lost her left arm during the charge.
Around the ship, fish started to swarm, one fish jumped into the air and landed on the ship, A decayed Sahuagin tilted it''s head, a yellowish bone spear in hand. Julie grinned at the thought of a challenge and charged forward. The sahuagin coughed and spat a glob of acidic goo and she dodged to the side, the deck started to melt where the goo landed.
Julie grimaced at the sight and decided to end it quickly instead of drawing the fight out. With one thrust of her spear, the Sahuagin was impaled and throw overboard. Chance and Tis returned with the grass and quickly applied it to the boat so it wouldn''t decay. Meanwhile more and more sahuagin attempted to jump on the boat.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
The battle raged on, Julie, Tis and Chance were fighting to keep the sahuagin off the boat, Tura was recovering, Roa was piloting the ship Isla was flying around healing people in need. while CKet and Yoshiro was busy fighting the smoky being. Cket lost one of her legs and part of her tegmina, making her original fast flying attacks choppy and uneven, but that was due to her fighting harder than everyone else.
Suddenly a spire of water erupted from the Toxic Territory and a huge kraken emerged, grabbing the sahuagin and pulling them under. The smoky being saw the sahuagin being pulled away and jumped up and started to fled for it''s life.
Shadows in the water followed after it.
Julie fell to the ground dead tired, breathing heavily she looked to observe her companions. Roa was scratched, parts of his limbs missing or decaying from the poisonous goo. Isla had minor injuries and was not flying as fast due to fatigue. Tis had his shell broken, corroded by acid and bashed by bone weapons though her overall body wasn''t to damaged. Chance had minor burns and clothes ripped but still okay. Yoshiro seemed fine, just a few scratches but nothing missing.
The two who needed the most attention was Tura, who had two of her wings torn off, a gaping hole in her thorax revealing the insides of her body her stinger missing and a few of her legs gone. CKet on the other hand, was missing three of her legs, an entire arm, multiple cuts on her prothorax, mesothorax and abdomen, one of her eyes were crushed and her tegima and her remaining tibia was partially destroyed. Haemolymph was oozing from their missing limbs. Isla came close but CKet sent her away. "I an near the shedding time, I an fine till then." she chittered and she dragged herself to her quarters,
Julie turns toward Tis, the only insect well enough to answer any questions that she wanted to answer.
Tis''s fangs rub together and then he speaks. "Us insects as you call then, have tines of shedding skin, this enahles us to get larger. It also regenerates lost anatomies. insects like CKet and I have this special features, it happens in times of 10 rotations of earth to 10 rotations around sun."
"What about Taru" Chance asked concern. Tis just shakes his cephalothorax, "Taru is one of the unlucky ones, her hive is one that does not shed, they have one hody for life, Taru is now danaged goods."
Upon this reply Chance cried out in shock and crumpled to the floor sobbing tears, crawling toward Taru who was resting. Tis''s body seemed to relax, and it slumped down, his will to fight seemed to have diminished.
Yoshiro looked as if he was uneasy with the situation at hand and he decided to go pilot the ship. Julie didn''t know how to react to this news but luckily she didn''t have to because a few of the krakens pulled itself onto the ship.
"Greetings fellow land-walkers, Are you hear in search of the sword as bestowed upon us by the gods" one of the krakens asked .
Yoshiro decided to take the lead and answered "Yes, we are here to search for the Holy Sword of Water: Abyss."
"Then you must have gotten the necessary ingredients to go into the depths, Gourd Shire, Aslima Grass, Gravity Shells. Roan Charcoal. Drya-Moss" the kraken asks and Yoshiro nods his head.
"Good, how many are going this time, we must leave before Kylia''s servant comes back" the kraken says
Julie walks forward, so does Roa and Yoshiro. Chance was still crying on Tura as Isla is healing her. Cket was still in her cabin.
"Guess its the three of us kuhu" Roa says and he consumes the materials, Gourd Shire to be able to breath underwater, Aslima grass for the poison, Gravity Shells to deal with pressure, Roan Charcoal for temperature control, and Dyra-Moss to stay dry. Each of them had various time-limits so different amount of materials were required for each of them. Roa, after consuming the materials, smiled at the duo that was going with him and he jumps into the water.
Yoshiro and Julie looked at each other and after consuming the materials, followed Roa and jumped into the water. shortly afterward the kraken also follows.
"Quick, into the abyss, after a period of time I will not be able to follow so good luck" the kraken speaks and after an hour of swimming, he veers away toward the surface, where a plague soldier started to form.
Ahead of the trio, a wide chasm where darkness obscured the bottom from sight, caverns were located here and there, and a couple of poisonous residue floated toward the surface.
"Alright guys, lets start the search kuhu" Roa announced and he swam toward one of the caves. Yoshiro flashed Julie another smile and swam down into the abyss. Julie just floated there, looking for signs and then swimming further down.
"Let''s find this sword" Julie exclaimed with determination and she swam into the abyss.
Here it is again, To explain a few things,
The insects Tis, CKet (See-Ket), and Tura are beings without lips, in the English pronunciation, there are things you can''t say with lips, and that includes the letters B, P, M and W, so mind their weird way of explaining things.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter and remember- Praise or Criticize me to your hearts content

Side Story 2: The adventures of Julie and Co.
Julie flew back and hit a tree, slumping toward the ground she looked up to see Yoshiro smile calmly. "Come on Jules, if you want to get stronger you have to do better than that." He taunted and Julie smirked and launched herself forward. Yoshiro extended his spear forward and waited for my charge.
As we were about to meet, he thrust his spear forward and Julie narrowly dodged to the side. Suddenly with a press of a button, two parts of the shaft on his spear extended out, creating a pick-like weapon, catching Julie off guard, she was hit in the stomach, losing her breath as the sides opened up and Yoshiro charged, pinning her against the tree.
(Something like this)
"Jules Jules Jules, how did you like my surprise? Custom built of course" Yoshiro smiled, Julie noticed the string running along the edge of the metal, and Yoshiro noticed.
"This string is here for a reason you see" He chuckles to himself and he draws the string back and inserts a dart. "You can use anything, from arrows, needles, darts, rocks, you name it" After that, he took out the dart and pressed the button again, the sides of the pick retracted into the spear.
Yoshiro walks away saying "Lucky I didn''t sharpen the pick or else it could have been an axe"
Julie simmers in anger and she punches the tree that she was recently pinned against.
"Ugh, why can''t I be stronger, true Yoshi''s a genius but I should be able to win at least one match right" Julie mutters to herself and in the distance a voice calls to her "Dream on."
Julie screams out in rage and after a few hours of chasing Yoshiro around, she calmed down. "Where... *huff* ... *huff* is that *huff* *huff.... bastard" Julie panted, she looked around to see herself in a grotto of tree though the remnants of houses could be seen. The smell of something burning was smelt and Julie got her sword out.
"Nice, nice kuhu, an elemental golem village in such great conditions kuhu" a blazing person was elated, seriously the person was on fire and he didn''t mind.
"What are you doing here kuhu" the person asked and he turns around to face Julie.
The being that turned around had the body of a wood, two eyes of burning coal, no visible mouth his body showed no clothing but any important parts were covered in flames.
"Let me ask the questions, what are you doing here?" Julie retorted and the person shakes his head. "Me kuhu?, I am Roa and I search for the origins of this world, you know of the gods and how they bless us" Roa declared.
"I do know of them, my....... family used to pray for Cortesa the Goddess of Harvests to bless the crops for a good harvest." Julie paused before replying.
"Then you must wonder, who created the gods kuhu, We know that there are minor and major gods and goddesses but ask us this kuhu, who created them kuhu , why were they created kuhu. Ancient records of times past old has told us that a one true god existed, it is a being that controlled the planets, the moons of the universe kuhu." Roa spoke
"But why are you trying to find out about their existence? What good will it serve you" Julie argued. Roa held up his hand and looked at Julie, "Because they are the ones who gave life to us kuhu, we exist today because they are the ones who allow us to live, surely you must have heard about the four Beasts of Calamities the beasts who try to purge the world of all life kuhu. They simply exist because one the species screwed up an the gods want them dead kuhu."
"If you believe that the Calamity Beasts are here to punish us, why is only one rampant now, why has the general populace never even heard of them till now"
"You humans are ignorant kuhu, You only pass down the tales of your good deeds, in the face of the calamities you trembled in your own shoes and hid in your homes kuhu. Those brave enough to fight died in the war or were permanently scarred, wishing not to tell the horrors of them. Your kind knows no leniency for the truth, but rather warps it with lies."
"Where were you when facing King Glutton, Kylia and Poison Leviathan. As they wiped out many species from this face of a moon. The Golems are gone, their clay bonding with the earth, so are the Mindless Shadows whose being of self has turned into nothing, Ember Sprites and Dryads have long since decayed from the onslaught. The slimes and the dwarves are near extinct and yet you humans are the majority, where where you when all of our species were needed to fight" Roa roared his weird accent gone with the anger.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"I...I wa.... " Julie stuttered and a shattering headache pierced her head, in her mind she saw the fields of battle, Kylia laugh gleefully as she sniped Wind Nymphs and Aerolite Garudas as they tried to run. King Glutton grabbing bunumen and eating them whole. King Dracio scorching the land into cinders amidst the dying screams of Golems and Dryads and countless other scenes flashed through her mind until she blacked out.
She woke up with a cloth on her head and a blanket covering her. Julie looked over to see Roa tending to a fire, Chance and Yoshiro were nearby, talking intensely. Julie just smiled and went back to bed.
The next morning Roa had an announcement, "I will be joining you, you are searching for a sword to defeat Kylia, Kylia is a being that was created by the gods, If we do defeat her, I will want to ask questions now can I kuhu?"
Julie was flabbergasted at this sudden announcement and she turned to look at her two friends, Chance just shrugged and Yoshiro smiled before saying "One more person will make surviving the encounters much more bearable".
Julie turned toward Roa and thought intently for a bit before tell him "Sure, lets go, I want to ask a few questions myself"
The ground was smoking, the husks of insects lied everywhere you looked. Yoshiro wrinkled his nose. "The smell is getting me, are you sure we should be looking for survivors, the last time we did this we spent days without results" he said and Chance scolded him, blasting him in the face with a torrent of wind.
The wind blew some of the corpses away and revealed a tiny larva. The larva was munching on the flesh of her brethren but she didn''t appear to have a care in the world. Chance walked up to the larva and started to pet it. The larva was startled that something touched her but other than that she continued to eat.
"What type of insect could she be?" Chance asked as she cuddled the little critter.
Julie looked around to see the wasps, mantis, spider, beetles, ants, caterpillars, moths, and more variety of insect corpses that were strewn about. "She could be anything" Julie said to Chance and Yoshiro shouted out a warning.
Julie quickly pulled out her sword and ran toward Yoshiro and she found a mantis, half decayed and body parts missing.
The body was still twitching yet cracks were appearing. Everyone watched as the mantis''s body cracked and a new body emerged from the mess.
Yoshiro had his spear-bow out and aimed at the mantis and after gasping loudly, the mantis turned to look.
"You hunans are here to slay ne?" the mantis asked.
"We just want answers, what happened here?" Yoshiro asked with caution
"Let ne talk arout huat hakkened here" the mantis spoke.
"I an CKet and the Ruage Huarriors attacked this village. I narroly survived nyself. dut tell ne, are there any survivors?" CKet spoke.
"We found a young one, unknown variety" Chance spoke up, holding the little guy in her hands.
"Hzzz, an Arclight Huasp you have there, They''re not a race to live long for various reasons, but this one is a girl, so if a boy cones round, another hive can be founded, any others?"
"Nothing, so far it was just the two of you" Julie replied, and CKet tisked.
"There are Rillions of corpses here, if you just started looking then you could find thousands" Cket struggled to get up but her injuries prevented her.
Chance saw this and put the larva down, getting into a meditative position, after a few minutes a gentle breeze flew through the area, "It will take a while but I can sense life"
CKet started to cocoon herself "Thankfully I was nearing the shedding, see you huen I get I noo body" CKet chittereed and cocooned herself.
Hours later, Chance fell exhausted, "Millions of bodies and no survivors, though I haven''t checked the outskirts" Chance muttered and fell asleep on the spot.
Julie got her weapon ready and Yoshiro prepped his spear. Roa started to make a campfire.
Julie fell asleep.
In the morning the cocoon was hatching and Chance was shouting about life.
"Two signatures, one very faint"
CKet who just hatched from the cocoon sprung forward with her new body and rushed to the area that Chance said the signitures were. "Follow her" Yoshiro cried out and everyone sprinted to follow
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Sorry for the long wait, here are some short stories/side chapters for you all
Abyss. Goodbye my friends
The water pressure was getting to Julie. She shook her head to clear her mind but the subtle pain the deeper she got into the abyss was starting to become a pest.
Occasionally she would swim out of the abyss to get comfortable again and rest up. Alongside the small periods of resting time, she would retake the many ingredients that allowed her to stay in the water.
Every time she dove down into the water though the pressure would lessen, even if it was a bit compared to the last time.
From time to time the water rippled around her because of the explosions that were happening on the surface.
"Chance, I hope your safe" Julie prayed and scourge the wall for tell-tale signs of a corpse.
The water grew darker and murkier as she advanced deeper into abyss.
No signs of life was detected no matter how hard she looked. it was just stone walls corroded by erosion and poison. Poison? Does that mean she was getting close.
Julie went up to the surface to get a breath of fresh air and to comfort her body, which was going through a series of spasms from the pressure.
Julie looked toward the boat to see a horrid sight.
The wood seemed decayed, the sound of fighting could be heard among the raging storm that was blowing. Krakens were jumping from the ocean to combat the creatures spawned by Kylia that fell from the sky.
Julie became unsettled when she saw a kraken being carried off the ship and torn to pieces in the sky. Not far from the boat the clouds gathered together and a pillar of death narrowly missed the ship.
Julie made up her mind to go into the sea to find the sword to end this madness.
Diving deep into the abyss, farther than she had ever gone before she followed the sighs of the poison.
at first it was small grooves, then came long lashes and scars. About 100 kilometers further the lashes became holes, and then caves.
She swam deeper and deeper, not caring how the medicine was about to run out, nor the pressure building up. She just wanted it to end, all the fighting, the death. "A quiet life with my friends" Julie muttered to herself, reminiscing in the moments and time she spent with everyone.
Chance happily laughing at Tura as a larva when she ate from her hand.
Yoshiro failing miserably trying to get girls to like him.
CKet and Tis messing with Roa as they randomly threw objects into the fire part of him.
Isla just playfully manipulating water and splashing everyone and overall the fun moments of her life.
Looking at reality, CKet mortally wounded. Tura impaired for life, Chance descending into madness, and more.
Julie pushed forward, her body growing rigid from the extreme pressure and cold. Her lungs screaming for air as the ingredients slowly decayed.
Finally she found a large body the size of the blimp H.M.A. R101c, the body was mostly torn apart but once could tell it used to be a monstrosity. plumes of poisonous liquids ascended from the body, plaguing the area around it.
Julie felt relieved and swam toward it, but once she started, her vision blurred.
"What is happening?" Julie asked and then she realized that she couldn''t breathe.
"Air'' I need air, the ingredients" Julie realized and she searched for the bag to find it missing.
"I was to hasty" She thought and pushed herself to get the sword. If she was going to die might as well get the sword and pass it on.
Her body started to crumple in on itself but she pushed forward with strong determination.
The pain increased her skin grew blue due to the cold, her bones becoming powder as the pressure crushed them.
Julie felt herself losing form and thinking "Is this the end?"
She just drifted toward the sword, the one protruding from the skull of the beast and she felt herself undergo a radical change upon contact.

|
Julie was dying, when the message popped up to ask if she wanted to evolve to Naga she quickly accepted.
and she fell into a deep slumber.
When Julie woke up she looked around to see that she was still in the abyss, but the pressure wasn''t as intense and she could breathe again.
She gave a sigh of relief and swam toward the surface with the sword in hand.
"Yoshiro, Roa I got the sword, lets head back" I sent through a transmission stone and they appeared as she journeyed back to the boat.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" Yoshiro asked and Julie was confused.
She then looked at herself and gasped in surprise. Her once pale skin became a light blue, her brownish hair was now sea-green, like seaweed. her legs were those of a fish, like a mermaid.
"I found the sword and underwent a change I guess" Julie shrugged and she lept back onto the ship alongside Yoshiro and Roa.
"Whoa" Julie gasped when she landed. Aside from her legs going back into a two regular legs the scene that met her on the ship wasn''t pretty.
The ship was decaying, the new wood had become brittle tinder, the steel was rusted beyond recognition, the sail had become fluff, and the bodies oh the bodies were mostly decayed, dried withered corpses.
The corpses of kraken strewn about, some complete, others not quite. Some intact and others decayed. the amount of corpses were unnatural, they all seemed to be scattered, but there were piles of bodies in a few locations.
Wandering through the mess they came across the mutilated body of CKet, her whole body seemed to be sliced in two, arms missing, a number of legs bent and cut off. Her Abdomen and Thorax smashed beyond recognition and half of her head existed.
"Rest in peace our friend" Roa prayed and they continued to move on. Compared to before the ship was eerie and quiet. They had met no survivors which plunged Julie''s heart in despair.
Another hour of searching and someone groaned.
Julie jumped from the sudden noise, She hadn''t expected there to be a survivor but when she looked in one of the mounds of corpses she saw Tis.
Tis raised her head slowly and looked at Julie.
"ah.... you all cane hack, good hye the friends, It was fun to work with you all" Tis said and he moved slightly before curling up.
the spot he moved from had two people laying there, they looked peaceful as if sleeping but from how the rest of the ship is it was more than that.
Chance and Tura hugging each other. both peaceful in death despite how horrid everything around them were. At this sight Julie knelt to the ground and wept, Yoshiro placing a hand on Julie''s shoulders to comfort her while Roa went off to find a secluded place.
"Good bye....." Julie cried, and she drowned herself in memories of Chance.
Sacrifice
Julie sat down in the encampment sliding her fingers along the sword, trying to understand the deeper mysteries of it.
Chance and the Insects were gone from the world, and Isla was MIA.
Roa and Yoshiro were both hardened and stern these days and Julie sighed.
Months of fighting after their party died.
A total of 17 races were confirmed to be extinct and many more under investigation including the Insect''s species of Berserk Mantis, Adamantium Fortress Spiders, and Arclight Wasps.
Much of the continent was in ruins, and the last remains of civilization was hiding.
A Moss Bunuman next to me was tuning her bow, the soft melody of sound every time she pulled it back and released it.
Julie was tired of all the fighting, her body and mind felt exhausted beyond comprehension and she would give anything for a nice bed, hot food that actually tasted like food.
It can''t be helped though, the extinction of food animals like the cows, pigs and telrioses took its toll on the meat market.
1 pound of meat goes for 30 coins when it should only be two.
Julie sighed again and got up.
Her party noticed her and looked toward her at the time and she just waves for them to ignore her.
Julie headed toward the bathing area, but the sound of alarms rang in the encampment.
A pillar of death descended and swallowed a part of the camp, the screams of those caught were silenced almost instantly.
Out from the pillar came the Plague Soldiers and Plague Beasts.
The Moss Bunuman raises her bow and fires, taking one out effectively before jumping back to get some distance.
Julie raised her sword and dashed forward, Yoshiro with his spear also charged in.
Roa empowered his fists with fire and went in punching.
The encampment was now a battleground, dead bodies both Plague Soldiers and resistance members falling like leaves in an Autumn morning.
Julie slashed through a Plague Soldier and blocked a charged breath attack, from another and she backed up to form a circle with Roa and Yoshiro alongsie a few others. The circle weaved, breaking and rejoining, collapsing and growing.
We lost some we gained some, through the chaos of the battle one shouldn''t be able to keep count of who fell to the ground, The people who screamed out for help, those who were dying with no one at their side to send them on their way to the underworld. Only the heat of battle could push you forward, for it was common fact that if you stopped fighting, then you have a high chance of dying.
The battlefield isn''t merciful to those who find themselves on it and anything can happen.
Julie pushed her opponent away and tripped another when Julie found herself being shielded by Roa, it turned out that a rain of arrows descended onto the encampment and started to rain down, wrecking havoc among both enemies and allies alike.
Roa shriveled up and exploded in a mass of fire and energy, and Julie at the heart of the explosion was thrown into the air, before colliding with a tree having the wind knocked out of her.
Julie gasped for air and struggled to get to her feet, her arms were sluggish, it was getting harder and harder to breathe.
The amount of corpses that littered the ground was astronomical. Piled up or scattered. Torn or in one piece.
Julie was saddened by the loss of life. "Everyone had a future, but all of it was cut short" she muttered and coughed up blood, her lungs were screaming in agony, she could feel the her body getting irritated, inflammations were appearing on her body and she was getting light headed.
rough, raspy breathing escaped her lips and she now used her sword to prop herself up.

Another rain of arrows, another row of people mowed down. In the distance a bright laughter was heard, and in the middle of a throne of gas was Kylia herself.
Julie growled and she struggled forward, whenever an enemy was coming toward her she dropped to the floor and played dead, it was easy because she felt like she was dying as well.
She kept on going, the soulless Plague Soldiers ignored her because they were ordered to attack those that were standing, not those on the ground.
Kylia on the other hand, noticed Julie''s progression and prepared her bow to fire.
Julie was unaware of the fact because her mind was increasingly become muddled .
The arrow was released and as it traveled a heavy wind came and interrupted the arrow, blowing into the advancing Plague Forces.
"Good job Arielle, Airis send a barrage back" a voice ordered and the two ladies nodded their head.
Arielle was in a meditative state while Airis moved her body, the winds swirling around both of them. Building up to become a wave of air capable of splitting trees.
Despite their seemingly long display, it actually happened in seconds.
Kylia laughed dryly and flung a few arrows at them, the arrows flew with momentum and pierced the wave, wind against wind and the arrows won though heavily weakened.
This onslaught happened between the two for a while before Airis screamed, the wave of Plague Soldiers had arrived at their position and one of them managed to get behind the defenses and pierce through her.
Mysterious Leader slay the Plague Soldier but this was already enough for Kylia to laugh and overpower Arielle who fell backwards weakened.
Kylia strode forward laughing and prepared her arrow to fire at the Winds of Petal Tea''s Leader when her laughing face froze.
Time past and with disbelief Kylia cranked her head down toward her heart where a sword was pierced through her.
Julies coughed up more blood and smiled "We all have suffered enough, begone"
Kylia was in disbelief but she smiled, "I may be gone but let me give you a gift"
She started to glow a dark and dreary and exploded, burning everything into a dark and poisonous miasma.
Naturally, Julie didn''t stand a chance and melted into bones.
The field cleared after a time, nothing remains except bones and equipment except for one person walking through the wasteland, next to her was a giant bat of fire.
"Eremus, we are near the curses, It should be around here somewhere" a girl says and the bat screeches and swoops down and grabs the two swords in the ground.
Congratulations, you obtained the Wind Sword: [Katrina]
The winds are a powerful force, they make it possible for life to exist, for the seasons to change, for the lands to be sculpted.
They can give life or take it away. As a freshener or a poison.
Special Effect: The sword Katrina can release gases as sources of breathing air, a fan, or as a poisonous gas attack,
Special Effect: You can manipulate the forces of the winds.

|
The Girl takes the two swords and in her hands they break, the Grand Water and Wind Curses absorbed into her body.
"Time to hunt down the last one, let us go Eremus"
She turned around and disappeared into a fog of dust
Back in Business
Julie felt queasy, She had just opened her eyes when the information of her life, the modern world of Earth, the time she spent as a god, and her life on Sof.
Julie noticed that four figures were standing nearby, as if they knew that she was waking up.
"Welcome back Goddess" Akashakan bowed
"Wished you slept longer" Renny murmured
Waves of joyous head bobbing from Bababa x 42
"How was your time in the mortal world" Cortesa asked kindly.
Julie yawned and spoke, "It was...".. a memory of Chance flashed into her head and she became silent.
"Is something wrong?" Cortesa asked and Julie shook her head. "It''s nothing."
Julie got up from her bed and went over to the World Viewer and checked on Sof.

The landscape is now in ruins, much of the land is uninhabitable due to poisonous residues and contamination to both water and air supplies.
Some individuals have taken advantage of the aftermath of the battle and formed religious cults and sacrificing souls to create miasma.
The Undead now roam parts of the world, ranging from Zombies, Skeletons, Ghouls, Specters, and Dullahans.
The multiple kingdoms that used to exist are now in ruins, a few new kingdoms were born from the chaos and they are

Because to many of the species move underground, territory is cramped and sectors battles take place on a daily basis , usually resulting in high casualties for either or both sides.

Julie looked at each of her worlds, all of them were warring with themselves. But what would happen if they found a way to travel to other planets, how would they cope with others from a different planet?
Destruction on all Fronts
A tiny pebble fell and bounced among the pillars inside of an immense cavern, ancient rocks caked with dust shook slightly.
The pebble may be insignificant but the pillars were now visibly shaking.
The molten ball of magma was situated in the center and the pebble fell, disintegrating before it could actually touch it. However there was the boulders and columns of rocks which were way to big fro the heat to dissolve alone, the magma core was shattered apart as it was disrupted,
An endless amount of rocks kept on falling and falling.
[Surface of the plane]:
"Chief, the Rhinos are getting restless, something is happening nearby, we best move now" one of the men on watch duty called to the chief and the chief got up. "Get ready to move men, these beasts have saved our skins many times over with their behavior so if something dangerous is coming, then it is better not to question"
No sooner had he said this fact when the Dune Rhinos immediately went on a rampage, as if they were fleeing for their lives.
"Not good" the chief exclaimed, the blood draining from his face. "Leave everything run, the rhinos have never acted like this before"
It was true, on the Wind Moon of Aeriola, there was no natural predators for the Dune Rhino, as such the rhinos rarely bred and rarely produced a child, they would only die of natural causes. So for the Dune Rhinos to run as if their life depended on it then something apocalyptic must be happening.
The men tried to get the rhinos to calm down but to no avail did they stop, at best the men could throw their families onto the backs and hope for the best.
The ground began to shake, before shattering into many pieces, the earth was falling, the sand making an eternal slide down into a pool of blazing fire. The glass in the sand cut the skin of many even blinding others. The first scream sounded far away yet it was possibly the man next to you.
The chief ran for his life, no worldly possessions could make up for his life even if he was paid all the water satchels, jewels, ancient teachings, women, or grand cuisine in the entire moon.
A rhino had collapsed and was desperately trying to get up, its cries wailed through the night as it fell into the magma below.
Tents went flying, people scrambled, fell, attempted to correct their center of gravity, Others manage to flee in time, but the hole in the ground kept on expanding. The chief helped up one of his tribe mates but because of this action he lost his footing and he desperately grabbed at what he could to save himself but nonetheless fate was unkind and he plummet to his death.
All around Aeriola the world was collapsing, the only safe place was the skies, All the tunnels that were dug into the body of the planet was collapsing on itself, crushing those underground. The underground territories, all the insect hives wailed as their colonies collapsed, refugees from all over the world flooded toward the floating cities and monisteries of the Wind Nymphs, Wind Elves, and Wind Disciples
Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
As the land collapses the Wind Disciples were trying to create sky islands to contain all the species that still remain.
Aside from their 3 Monasteries 4 Cities and 9 outposts, they had raised about 22 miscellaneous islands filled with refugees. Though there were some islands that were just wild terrain, may it be just desert to an oasis filled with water and plants.
Julie watched all this happen and more, On Aeriola is was the collapse of the ground. Jugganautilus, the Earth Eating Moss managed to make it to the core, heating the water immensely and making the deeper underworld unlivable. The warm water rose, and the cool water from the water ring collapses, The heated water is conflicting with the ice-attribute aquatic species.
Nekindoar had no notable changes except for the fact the amount of dead now greatly exceeds the amount of people living.
Sof was still recovering from the war with Kylia but the threats of the undead were starting to grow, A small and punitive force has gathered to act as a bodyguard for all the species of Sof though their efforts are unsuccessful as they do not know the nature of their opponents.
Terra-Collant: The war between the natural inhabitants of the moon and the creatures of the void is getting more and more intense as slowly, more and more openings to the void are opened.
The void is a endless region and the residents of the void are taking the planet in a wave of extinction,
The only thing that seems to be able to ward off the void-creatures are the Guardian Obelisks but even they are slowly being hunted to extinction
The species that have fallen to the void creatures include:
Mushroom Men,Ember Sprites, Withered Mushroom Men, Mindless Shadows, Ground Sloths, Wax-O-Lantern, and more species are on the brink of extinction.
The Earth Moon is slowly being converted into the Void Moon, unless the inhabitants can return the other realm invaders to the void their moon will be no more.
Aetherion is advancing smoothly, the current tech level is medieval times with widespread iron armor and knew machinery though a current breakthrough will soon lead into the industrial era.
Julie sighed at all the destruction that was happening before her eyes. Her divine points were rapidly shrinking and beginning to cease existing entirely.
Already some of the lesser gods have disappeared for the lack of divine points going around. The divine points were already in the lower Millions and were going to reach the negatives soon.
Re-Emergence.
Status Report:
Jugganautilus: the Water Moon. The heating of the water due to the core has heated the planet in an unimaginable rate.
The Sahuagins despair as the heating of the water has decimated their forces of secretly trained monsters. They are now stuck between two forces, the heating of the water which threatened their very being and the technologically advanced humans and their allies of the newly evolved Naga race.
The Naga has enslaved multiple species and they are in the process of creating domes that are capable of withstanding space. They plan to colonize the other moons. Species currently enslaved are Mantas, Sirens, Mermen, Mermaids, Sahuagins.
Performance tests on these species are also being conducted secretly in hopes of finding a weakness to ensure complete obedience. There is also hopes of gene modding the current humans to get the best parts of each species.
The heating of the water has dramatically endangered the water ring that surrounds the planet. The solid ice that keeps the ring from floating into space has started to degrade due to the intense heat generated from the waters below. Parts of the ring has fluctuated and bits and pieces of water float off into space. Many ice species fall extinct as the ice biome that they live in changes. Some do adapt however.
The Hedge maze continues expanding due to the sheer surplus of heat. it now encases the entire bottom sector of the planet and continues to grow, creating multiple layers.

Nekindoar: The Fire Moon, The moon has ended their war and now a holy conflagration is going around purging those who have committed sins.
The Grand Republic of Humans and the Alliance has united banners to become the Holy Church of the Flame Messiah. They consist of the surviving species that are: Humans, Fire Slimes, Slime Dopplegangers, Solar Sailors, Lava Constructs, Lava Crocmen, Construct Minion, Fire Nymphs,
There is large reforms where the wasted ruins of old become grand and spectacular cities of new. The world how has 24 major cities and various villages. A council member comes from each citiy and represents a single species.
The recent downpour of water from Jugganautilus has plagued the world creating voracious spats of mineral geysers. Of all the species that fell from Jugganautilus to Nekindoar only the Obsidian Whale survived and they became a variant called Monolith Burgeons due to their huge size and their tendency to drive away invaders. They also have a smaller version of them called Statuite Purgers.
The boiling geysers and waters became a new biome called the Broiling Pits. A crossbreed of the Firestorm Crane and the Flare Override Piranhas have created a new species which is bizzare. It has four bird legs bent awkwardly with a hard shell protecting main body. It splits open to consume objects with their razor sharp teeth and they love to live in the Broiling pits and heavily contest space with the Statuite Purgers. This species is called Erei Kogani.
The water also brought a new plant to the planet called the Acid pod which is heavily crystalized due to pressure and heat. The crystals produce an acid so potent it burns lava when it splits open. Humans have started to experiment with this product. These crystal pods are called Acidian Carburns.

Aeriola- The Wind Moon, The planet surface is completely dominated by those who can control the winds, Wind Elves now have sky cities alongside Wind Nymphs, Aerolite Garudas, and Cloud Shifters and they control the territories of the floating islands.
With the collapse of the planet surface there are only sky islands. There is a council of elders from each of the species with the sky species as a high council and the displaced species as a lower council.
The sky islands float around but the main base for the Wind Elves is still in their wind funnel. Due to the intense heat of the core the winds are now scorching. It is now common for there to be heat strokes when walking outside.
Due to there being no ground the wind funnel starts to take in the magma of the core. occasionally the magma will surge into the funnel and create a tornado of heat. Aerolite Garudas situated in the wind funnel has been driven out or adapted into a new species of Cinder Garudians.
The intense heat kills many of the insect species with the most damage in the Armored Ants and Armored Scorpions. On the contrary the Mantsoid and the spideroids suffered the most damage in the collapse of the world.
Many plant species have caught on fire and are rapidly burning. However water from Jugganautilus has fallen and cooled down some of the islands, some of the water has gotten into the core and lowered the temperature by a degree or two. Though one island crumbled into dust due to the impact of the water. The water revitilized some of the island and now sprawling forests are present on some of them. Water spirits and Snowcloud Mantas was also introduced to the system. The Snowcloud mantas bring breaths of cold air into islands they travel to. Due to this phenomenon they are hunted by many and kept as pets.
The Mantas also derived into a separate species called the Devil Glutton Manta which ride the winds and engulfs anything that gets in their way. They actively hunt the Sky members.
There is now unity in the land as the species work together to make do with what they have. Dune Rhinos and Dune Hippos eventually learned to get onto two feet and use tools though some are still primitive. They are called Rhinerians and Hippodromes.
The councils of the Sky species are accepted and the armored animals gained better armor to reduce the effects of the heat waves.
They lead a tribal lifestyle with chiefs and warriors. They contest with each other to see which portions of the island become theirs for a year.

Terra-Collant: The Earth Moon. Ankleadoro is oneof several haven for the species of Terra-Collant, Yet one by one these havens fall. The Void Stone creatures invade through the use of the void to teleport into these havens.
Ash Dryads, Sunken Vampires, Soul Bunuman Hunters and Void Stone Creatures reign over wasted land and the Demons and Fallen Angels have banded together to form a sky castle to protect themselves from the void creatures. The Sky Castle is named Castle Von Fraunt.
The Guardian Obelisks of Terra-Collant gave their lives to create a barrier sanctuary sealed away from the rest of the world. This place is called Haven and it houses the Humans, Moss Bunumans, Waxmen, Candle Wisps, and the reminants of the Guardian Obelisks.
Sand Mantas, Hydras and Elephants were left to fend for themselves. In the barren wasteland where to survive you must kill these species evolved to meet their ways of survival.
Sand Mantas became masters of disguises and ambush their prey and swallow them whole. They also use their tail to whip their prey and tear chunks off of them to weaken them or slow them down.
Hydras rely on their many heads to hunt for prey. They are not afraid of losing their heads due to their natural regeneration but to protect themselves from losing to many heads they grew plated armor around their heads and neck while their body became slimmer and more muscled.
The Elephants grew out their tusks and developed spines to protect their broad back and sides. Since the land is barren they rely on eating bones from dead carcasses. They also eat venemous mushrooms and acid sacs. Due to this diet they developed toxic venom in their spines and became a species called Spiked Warphant.
The connection to the void eventually ceased to exist and the land plagued by the void eventually remained as part of the ecosystem. The planet eventually cleansed itself of the void through multiple battles with the Hydras, Spiked Warphants and the Sand Mantas. Eventually the Void Stone is the new currency of the world thus the craze for them had people hunt the creatures to near extinction.

Aethereon: The Main Planet which is surrounded by 5 moons. It hosts a variety of ecosystems and is made up of 3 continents 1 subcontinent and 4 Oceans.
The Monks of the Ancient Tree of Knowledge aid the humans in overthrowing the four-armed Monkeys. They are now forced to work for both sides. Water from the planet Jugganautilus has poured itself on portions of the world. Introduction of the Psi-ce Dolphins have made many species intelligent enough to use psychic abilities. Some of these species are the Bats, some fishes, the Mantachnids, and the Hive Queens.
A new kingdom founded by the Hardwood Treants soughts to protect the Ancient Tree of Knowledge and sets it as their king. To any species that are not plant the tree seems insignificant but the plant species follow the tree zealously and war against those who wish to harm it.
The Flames of Nekindoar burn brightly and a vessal seems to have landed on the planet. A flaming tree with many Slime Doppelgangers and Salamandra isolate themselves in the deep mountains on the subcontinent. They start to spread a new religion about the Flaming Messiah Tree.
Due to this new religion the main religion of the Ancient Tree of Life felt threatened and sent out species to exterminate them.
A holy war between the two started up and scorched the land. It eventually got to the point that 2 continents and the sub continent were at war.
The main forces of the Ancient Tree of Life were the plant species such as the intelligent plants. Hardwood Treants, Thorny Strangler Fig, Carnivorous Acid Weed, Softwood Treant, and Intelligent Plant species.
The main forces of the Flaming Messiah Tree are the Slime Doppelgangers, Salamandras, Berserk Mantis, Adamantium Fortress Spiders, Devilish Void Frog, Vesperate Vipers, and 0Demented Void Frogadiers.
Eventually the war destroyed both trees and peace descended onto the land. The war had torn one continent into several island nations that had drifted across the world. Another continent became a barren wasteland in which the remains of both trees were buried in hopes of either of them regrowing in the future.
There is tension between the remaining continent and sub-continent but no war has broken out as of yet.

Sof: The Trial Planet-
Sof has came across peaceful times. The three big kingdoms of before have settled and expanded and have came to a treaty to stimulate warriors and watch for the next and final Beast of Calamity.
Quaramos Kingdom: Mountainous kingdom with a harsh, colder windy climate. Rock slides are common and it is dangerous to travel. Wax-o-Lanterns are the main lighting of the area and one of the most highly sought after species to have accompany you on a journey. Cave exploration is very popular in the kingdom and there are many homes which are converted into caves. The Undead also find this kingdom pleasant due to the many darkness areas it provides with the caverns they showcase. Some Undead have sanity remaining and try to appeal to save their species. It houses Sand Nomads, Wind Disciples, Solar Sailors, Armored Scorpions, Armored Mantis, Armored Spider, Elephants, Polar Wind Eel, Wind Nymphs, Wind Elves, Snowcloud Mantas, Nightmare Shadows, Sand Mantas, Waxmen, Wax-o-Lanterns, Sprites, and Various undead.
Senchiaguiz Kingdom: a kingdom situated in a plain, for miles you can see in all directions with semi-fertile land. Despite this, resources are brought in entirely through trade. The bread-basket of Sof. Many plant species love to settle here as they can raise their kids and raise plants to grow and sell. Many sects and monasteries love to make encampment here as field trips to learn the ways of nature through the plant species. It is actively dangerous at night due to the wide area for undead hoards to run about so many warriors are brought here to train and protect the kingdom. It houses Horses, Wolves, Rats, Humans, Beastmen, Humanoid Slimes, Toxic Mantachnid, Snakes, Moss Bunumans, Mushroom Men, Dune Rhinoes.
Iechene Kingdom: a kingdom along the coast, nearby there is an active volcano making the area very stormy. it houses. The storm and volcano pleases many Wind, Water and Fire attribute creatures and they hold annual games in each of three categories. The most popular of the three categories is the Wind Attirubte: Gravity Null Collesium where the wind allows for anyone to move about freely and fight others.

Julie woke up after a very long nap. Julie''s head was exploding from the pounding headache that she was witnessing. "What happened?" Julie asked herself and a man in a bright robe appeared. "Hello, its me. God." the man said and Julie punched him.
"Ow what was that for?" God complained and Julie just glared at him.
"Seriously what is it?" God asked.
"Why''d you plague my world with these curses" Julie exclaimed pointing a finger at the remnants of Aeriola and Jugganautilus.
God shrugs and then spoke. "Its not my fault that you screwed yourself over. Also don''t feel bad bout the lost gods their just in our primordial chaos of wandering minds. It''s where everyone whose god-like disappears to if no one remembers them"
"Then why am I here? No one should know my name" Julie cried out.
"Oh creators are different, they just enter a coma till the world fixes itself" God explained and he got hit again.
"Again, stop" God cried out and then brushed his robes as if to remove dirt off of him.
"Are you saying that massive information dump into my head was the world finally fixing itself." Julie asked and God winked. "Bingo and righto, you''re not as dumb as you turn out to be"
Julie gave him another death glare and God walked over to the globe.
"You got about 100,000 points to spend make sure you don''t make a mistake like last time and screw over your worlds over like last time. I can only be merciful a few times before I''d have to purge you"
Julie gulped and looked over at the worlds below.
There Julie saw a huge planet and five moons each swirling in peace. The lives of countless mortals unaware of any future disasters that may fall upon them.
Julie looked over at God who winked at her once more before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Julie turned back to the planets and accessed command after command before finally stopping.
Before her was parts of each of the worlds.
The Void Swamps, the ashen wastelands of Terra-Collant. The Floating Islands of Aeriola. The Obsidian Spires, the Mineral waters of Nekindoar. The Water Ring, the Hedge Maze of Jugganautilus. Each was copied terrain-wise exactly as they would appear on their respective moons and Julie merged them all on another planet which she set further away.
"Eventually you shall play a part in this all, but for now just fade away" Julie whispered to herself and then dove into her bed to sleep another few hundred years.

Sorry for the long long long LONG, hiatus. Of course you see me updating other stories except this one but I can say that those gave me a breather, a very very very very VERY long breather to be exact. But now I am here with some more Creator of Worlds. Time to see what crazy antics Julie will create this time around.
