When you mimic someone, you tend to focus very hard to make sure you match your target. Dancers do this almost all the time. They make dance sequences, and everyone interested will copy. Now take that and apply it to everyday life. You drink the same, talk the same, eat the same, and have sex the same. A carbon copy, a clone, you could say.
[Mirror Eyes] is very much like that. I could feel myself picking up every single movement that Matilda made. Every twitch to breath. Even the way she gripped her sword. My blade was now uncomfortable in my hand. I had thought before I acted. I didn't feel her emotions or thoughts per se, but I predicted what she would do by knowing how she moved.
Mattie gripped her sword and shifted her weight to her back leg, and step forward at a crouch. I did the same, mirroring her. It was different. I could fee
The mountain screamed in pain as rocks shattered into oblivion under the weight of Raiden's Finger. Blue light illuminated the sky, forever scarring the Mountain range. Water sprayed into the air from the attack that had uncovered a spring.Synchronization: 100%I picked up my sword, which was only a hilt now. It couldn't handle the power I poured into it. I tossed it to the side.I unclipped my mask."That's not fair. You can't just give up like that," I said, looking down at Mattie. Just inches from her were the scar of my attack."You look different now," she said. She was no longer afraid or shaking. She had reached a wave of inner peace.
The main road connects Chadel's cities. It wasn't paved like the streets in our world, but it was maintained by the cities that used them. This didn't stop bandit attacks, but it deterred them from using it as a source of their income.The Shi (knights) of the dynasty occupied the Capital and didn't bother to protect the main road. So it was left to one group aside of mercenaries. Adventures. That was our first step.Whitrock was the furthermost city on the main road if you don't include the border villages. It was bigger than a village and thanks to its importance being on the main road it was considered a city. The population was roughly ten thousand, with about seventy percent of it going to the adventurers.The difference between adventurers and mercenaries was that adventurers had
The Adventurers Guild categorized their members into four groups. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Obsidian. Bronze being the lowest and the most populated. Obsidian being national adventurers.To advance in ranks, one needed to gather enough credits. Bronze to Silver was two hundred and fifty credits. Silver to Gold is a thousand credits. Gold to Obsidian is ten thousand credits. To put everything into perspective, a single quest can give around 0.01 to three credits. The idea behind the rankings was to incentivize adventurers to gain experience than to rank up. So when an adventurer got ranked up from Bronze, it became a huge deal.There were only about thirty Gold adventurers in Chadel. With only one Obsidian ranked adventurers in the Capital. The fastest way to rank up is by doing impossible feats like slaying a dragon. This was also the f
Dragons. Where do I start? They weren't here first. The very first beings on Rolistra were Demons, actually. Dragons immigrated to the planet from another planet. Running away from some disaster. The Demons let the Dragons stay in the North, and everything was relatively peaceful.Centuries later, humans, dwarves, and elves showed up. The humans attacked the demons, stole the land, and put up fences driving them to the west. The Elves took the east, and the dwarves went to North.The Dragons didn't help the Demons because they were already a small amount and they didn't want to lose any more fledglings. They needed to stay hidden, and they did. In the North, there are rumors of a Dragon Utopia. A city in the clouds where Dragons live in peace. Not every Dragon lives there. Many didn't like the cold and moved to other regions. Such as th
Guvis's yellow wings sent large gusts of winds into Whitrock. Knocking the thatch off the roofs of the buildings. Blowing shut windows and knocking little boys who should be inside to the floor.The large yellow dragon hung in the air, circling Whitrock looking for his victim. He set a couple of barns on fire which kept most of the guards busy. He was looking for someone. He was looking for me.I strode out through the guild and out of the building. I made my way down the street to the front gates where I had been escorted before by those three adventurers. I was a man with a plan, and even though I didn't look like those fabulous heroes. I definitely strode in like one.I took a glance at Guvis's stats. He a nice one hundred and ten. According to Bieko and Kali. It was pretty low for
The crowd grew louder as they cheered and rallied to their new hero. "Dragon Slayer," they roared. Unlike typical parades, there were no horses or chariots.Kali and I marched down the main road with Royal Shi on each side of us. They wanted to see what kind of man I was. I waved at them, and they cheered. I drew my blade, and lighting shot up into the sky. The crowd's energy skyrocketed—the hype was real. I wondered if this is how those singers felt when they performed at concerts. Everyone dancing in the middle of your palm. They turn on you with one wrong move, but as long as you nudge gently, they will follow you.A boy was shoved out of the crowd and in our way. The royal Shi ready to march all over him. They escorted us from Whitrock to the Captial. Kaminarimon, the thunder gate.
The Royal Chamber was relatively small compared to the ballroom. Only the size of a small house. Callum the Seventh and his Empress sat in the back. A dais elevates their throne. Each prince sat on the left side of the throne while the princesses sat on the right. The room was decked out with royal silk and golden ornaments. The floor was the same as the ballroom, polished marble.Now let's get to the players.The First Prince is quite the handsome fellow. A balanced built man with his hair cut short. His most dominating feature would be the electric blue eyes of his. His clothes had more regalia than the other princes and princesses. Two swords hung from his belt and he was the only one in the whole room that wore gloves. Elijah Darcey.The First Princess matched the first prince, exc
The weather in Chadel is usually always nice. Bright blue skies with clouds and a warm breeze. Winter is usually short and summer is long. I love this country.My office is held in the highest tower of the Chadel Royal Academy. When I first came here seven years ago, I was young, only nineteen. Matilda and I were the oldest when it came to the students of the Academy. Being older, we had a better focus, and it didn't take long for us to get into the senior classes. I told Mattie that I would have an office in the tallest tower one day.It had been a long journey. Working as Adventurers and slaving away at monsters and quests. Mattie was not an easy person to work with, far too emotional and righteous. She wanted to help every single person that needed help. She has always wanted to be a hero. She was the only one that I knew I could tru
