The Black Bird Oracle A

THE LAST ORACLE

**In a world on the brink of ecological collapse, where ancient prophecies whisper of impending doom, Jake, a young man burdened with the weight of a forgotten lineage, must confront his destiny as the last Oracle.** Jake, a sarcastic, wisecracking herbalist with a penchant for witty insults, lives a relatively carefree life, his knowledge of the natural world a solace in a time of growing despair. But when a devastating drought grips the land, and whispers of an ancient prophecy – one that foretells the end of the world as they know it – begin to circulate, Jake's life is irrevocably altered. Haunted by visions of a dying Earth and guided by cryptic messages from the spirit world, Jake discovers he possesses a forgotten power: the ability to commune with the Earth itself. As the drought intensifies and societal order begins to crumble, Jake must embark on a perilous journey to find the source of the impending cataclysm. During his journey, he meets Razar, a brilliant but disillusioned scientist, and Axon, his loyal and resourceful best friend, the voice of reason amidst Jake's sarcastic quips. In an attempt to help Jake understand and control his burgeoning powers, Razar accidentally injects him with an experimental serum. This serum unexpectedly imbues Jake with a unique system, transforming his understanding of his abilities into a game-like interface. Jake now receives quests, gains experience points, and unlocks new abilities as he masters his powers. However, the system is a secret, a dangerous secret that must be kept hidden from the world, including his closest allies. As Jake grapples with his newfound power, the system, and his place in the world, he begins to question his own morality. The system, while granting him incredible abilities, also fuels his inner turmoil. He struggles to control its influence, battling internal demons as he navigates a world on the brink of collapse. Facing not only the impending ecological disaster and the machinations of Mordros, a powerful sorcerer who seeks to exploit the chaos, but also the potential dangers of the system itself, Jake must confront his own inner darkness. With the help of Razar and Axon, and guided by the cryptic messages of the Earth, Jake must decide whether to embrace his destiny as the last Oracle and save the world, all while keeping the existence of the system a secret, ensuring that its power does not corrupt him, and ultimately, finding redemption within himself. !

Carsa(The Black Stone)

The story revolves around "Carsa," a kingdom burdened by poverty and its worship of a sacred black stone called "Aspera." Believed to be a divine blessing, the stone has only brought suffering and sacrifice to the kingdom’s people, including Alfero, the protagonist. Alfero, raised in extreme poverty, loses his father, a guard protecting the stone, and his mother to starvation. His sister, Althea, also falls victim to the kingdom’s misplaced devotion to the stone. Alfero sees the stone not as a symbol of divinity but as a curse that has robbed him of everything. He plans to steal Aspera, enlisting the help of his sister Althea and his friend Ragna. They devise an intricate scheme to create an illusion of divine movement during a religious ceremony, leveraging the kingdom’s blind faith in the stone. The plan succeeds temporarily, but complications arise, leading to Althea’s capture and execution by a divine emissary, Rix. Her sacrifice enables Alfero and Ragna to escape with the stone. At the border, a conflict ensues between Alfero and Ragna over selling the stone. Alfero, consumed by grief and rage, kills Ragna, realizing the stone’s immense but meaningless weight as a symbol of sacrifice and suffering. Alone, he reflects on the devastating cost of his quest, ultimately confronting the futility of the stone’s so-called divine significance. The story ends with Alfero back in his home, holding the stone that has destroyed his life. In a symbolic act, he acknowledges its worthlessness, yet he remains shackled by the weight of its legacy. The stone, embodying a meaningless blessing, stands as a tragic reminder of a world that venerates emptiness at the cost of human life and dignity.

Black Magus

What kind of realm would you choose to live in after digitizing your mind? For Amun, that was a magical world where he could be free to learn until his end of days. What he got was to become the living god of a vast realm in an odd universe. A being who'd be born with the world. And later stripped of it all. A being of juxtaposition and contradictions. A sinner and a saint. A wise sage and a genius scientist. A loving creator and a baleful explorer. An elf and a devil, living in a world of might and magic. But all is not what it seems. Peace is fleeting. Figures loom in the light. Forms strafe through the trees. And one Amun is woefully ignorant to the ways of a realm so ripe for change. Yet he is one who cannot help but change it. So he devotes himself to forming the greatest guild the Mortal Plane has ever seen, intending to change his world and others for the better. And yet, somewhere along the line of his undying march, Amun evolved into the being all denizens of the Mortal Plane either revered; or feared.
