In a world, similar to earth, with a lush planet and advanced technologies,near cyberpunk mixed with old technologies and ideologies, a millennia ago, a very power god, worked hand in hand with an extremely advanced race, to combine technology and magic, making this world known as Lua, undergo changes, with 10 continents, each with its own nations, to change, people gained a system, the systems helped grant a class, some were combat, others engineer, and some everyday professions, like blacksmiths, armorers, even actors had classes be born into existence, well on year 2153, a particular short statured girl------ named Silver Hailstorm, whom just turned sixteen, the age of the system awakening and also the day she has to register her class with the kingdoms hunters association, something some dread for their weak or common class, others look forward to, but on this day, silver is treating it like any other. Working in the family owned mechanic and armor fitting shop, where most of the clientele is military vehicles, the money is decent,but not enough to help us climb the social pedigree and gain a spot in a tier 2 city. Silver is a cat girl standing at only four feet tall, making her no bigger than the dwarves, and no less aggressive as them, usually wearing her mechanic coveralls, and a black tank top, the upper part of the coveralls tied around her waist, and her over sized weilding gloves, and weilding goggles adorning the top of her hair, grease stains can be seen all over her, but uncaring to all this as she works on taking the damaged armor panels off the hover troop transport. A vehicle that has a very similar appearance to a humvee or Bear, on earth. Her Dad, Also a Cat person, here they are just known as nekos from here on thats how they will be addressed, burst through the office door into the bay while trying his best to yell over the drown of loud rock music, and the industrial grinder. "Sil!...Sil! you have to go awaken and register your system!". Barely hearing him over the noise, silver cuts the grinder off before walking over to her dad, giving a quick hug before dashing out while tossing over her reply. "thanks dad for the reminder im leaving now!" And like the neko she has always been, fast and too agile for her own good she sprints down to the office, her small size allowing her to zigzag and at times perform acrobatics to not bump into people, a feat larger people would struggle to repeat as she does, rushing to the office about half an hour away from the shop on foot. She laughs and cackles on glee and the sheer freedom and speed she is going through so mych foot traffic, being a tier one city with more than twenty million people in it, theres always a lot of foot traffic.Some people who have seen her in traffic before are used to her antics while others are awestruck and surprised as she flashes by, her red pixie cute hair fluttering around her and her red and white stripped hears easily seen as she does flipps and dives over people into the tiny spots in the crowd. After a near flat out run, for 15 solid minutes, making it outside the huge hunters building, where hundreds of thousands of new hunters and old are streaming in for various reasons, some are just like her here to activate the system and see what they awakened as and to register.Walking in and looking around having to hop several feet in the air a few times to survey over the crowd, in doing so drawing some attention from several group all around wondering if she is part rabbit or something, some of the people in line in front and behind her giggle and laugh and a couple dwarves smirk as they realize what she is trying to do before she finally sees that she actually randomly selected the correct line on the first try. "phew, made it, and im not dead last, hopefully i awakened something with machine..." she says,a bit of forshadowing.

"We got you now!" "You'll pay us back for our guild members you PK'ed!" Are you joking me? They wanted to kill me first! I looked back, seeing a group of 9 people, all with high level looking armor. "I might be fucked," Looking at the possible skills I could be under some serious trouble. [Plot Twist] wouldn't work, there is no conditional. [Red Herring] isn't even off it's cooldown yet, so I can't really teleport until then. [Plot Armor] Takes too much from me, and it really isn't even the scenario for this... [[Deus Ex Machina] is off of Cooldown.] Fuck Yeah. --+-- A/N: Original Novel Cover is AI but if I get some money might commission cover.

Covering such issues as self-esteem, identity, rumors, romance, sexual abuse, teen drinking, and depression, Hannah’s experiences and those of her peers will resonate with many young readers. Students will not only be caught up in the riveting read, but may also find the novel a thought-provoking reflection on aspects of their own lives. Jay Asher’s novel provides parents and educators with a helpful starting point for many difficult topics that too often go unaddressed.Thirteen Reasons Why addresses many controversial topics that students may initially be uncomfortable discussing. Teachers, too, may find the subject matter difficult to approach. Before beginning the novel, teachers should take care to prepare with relevant background reading on subjects such as bullying, suicide, and sexual abuse. Make sure to also research appropriate authorities and helplines for providing official student support in these areas. The organizations below may be helpful resources for both teachers and students.National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) Rape, Abuse, Incest, National Network (RAINN), 1-800-656-HOPE In addition to its powerful thematic content, Thirteen Reasons Why can be a wonderful tool for teaching literary concepts. Asher uses a creative story structure and alternating point of view to tell his story and maintain suspense. The novel contains parallel stories, which alternate every few lines from Clay’s narration in the present to Hannah’s narration in the past. Clay’s part of the story is told through stream of consciousness, a method of narration in which the speaker expresses thoughts and feelings in a continuous flow of words. Asher also employs unique formatting techniques, including italics to indicate Hannah’s recorded voice and symbols representing the “stop”, “pause”, and “play” functions of the cassette player. These symbols also indicate a switch in narrative point of view. Other literary devices to teach along with this novel include foil, tragic flaw, foreshadowing, irony, figurative language, and deus ex machina.

Con un pasado oscuro y doloroso detrás de él, y un futuro incierto y sangriento por delante, Clément tendrá que tomar una decisión: ceder al destino y prolongar el ciclo sangriento, o arriesgarse y labrarse un nuevo camino a partir de lo desconocido.

Clément Ernest Durand Corbin is a kind-hearted and pious friar whose only wish is to witness and participate in the cohabitation and shared prosperity of the four factions; such a shame it is, then, that fate has chosen him to be its undoing. In the kingdom of Lérèves, humanity has found itself under the boot of Angel, Devil, and Mystic alike for no less than three straight decades, and tensions are only growing higher. In these desperate times, they look to the selections, ceremonies in which the great souls of the ancients cast their blessings upon mankind and offer them a fighting chance in the presence of their seemingly insurmountable foes. What’s a friar to do when that blessing falls upon him? When his rosaries and hymns are replaced with a sword and a shield? When the quiet pews and humble prayers are replaced with roaring crowds and bloodthirsty chanting? Worse yet, what to do when he finds love in the arms of one who should be considered his enemy? A dark and painful past behind him, and an uncertain and bloody future in front of him, Clément will have to make a choice: yield to destiny and prolong the bloodied cycle, or take a chance and carve a new path out from the unknown.
