Metal Puppets

The global war ended two hundred years ago, not with a bang, but with a whimper. Nations fought until resources were almost completely exhausted. By the time a cease-fire was called, the ability to return to the pre-war industrial era was nearly impossible. With the lack of resources, humanity declined to a quasi-medieval society of city states. Now 200 years later "Metalmancers" or those with the ability to control and shape metal have started to appear. With these Metalmancers and their abilities to salvage and possibly operate pre-war technology, forces have started to come into play to vie for control, once again sending this scarred planet into war. Mand and Val are two such Metalmancers who have been living on their own for the past several years. With new forces in play and old enemies on their trail, will they be able to lean on each other to survive this new emerging world? ** It's really hard to fly a dragon made of metal. They could of made a bull, a horse, or really any simple device that could haul a wedge-shaped plow, but someone insisted that they try and build a bloody dragon. That someone now had her hands wrapped around Mand's waist and was having the time of her life. "See, I told you this was a great idea," Val exclaimed. "We'll have that field done in no time!" "You're not the one trying to steer this thing," Mand returned. "Now be a good sister and lower the tail so we can get to work." Mand felt Val shift her weight and suddenly become very still as she began to concentrate. Inside the shell of the dragon, a complex system of gears began to whirr and rotate. The dragon's tail began to curve beneath the belly of the construct, until the wedge-shaped tip curved towards the ground. Mand had her work cut out for her as well. She focused her mind on pumping the dragon's wings to keep aloft. The descended tail made the whole operation twice as taxing as it was before. The tail clicked in place and Mand began their pass towards the field below. "Are you sure this will work?" she questioned her sister. "It's my butt too," Val pouted. "You should have more faith in my plan!" Mand brought the dragon closer and closer to the earth. She began to sweat as the ground inched closer. Finally, at the edge of the field, the tip of the tail sunk into the soft earth, plowing a furrow as the dragon swooped along. When the dragon reached the far end of the field, Mand pumped the wings to get them back in the air. It was only when she brought the dragon around for another pass that she realized how hard she was breathing. "See, I told you this would work!" Val shouted happily, kicking her legs out as they approached the field once again. Mand felt darkness overtake her.

Frost : Algid Rex

Frost : Algid Rex

"I always feel cold." No matter how good life may seem, some people still feel cold even when surrounded by those who love them. They feel an emptiness in their heart and soul that doesn’t go away, no matter what they do. A voice in their head keeps telling them, "You don't deserve anything in your life. You didn't do anything to earn such beautiful gifts." "You are nothing more than an empty husk, lucky enough just to be alive." "You don't even deserve to be born, let alone live in this world." At this point, you just want to disappear from the earth. But what if your wish came true... --- Claude Vedh, a 15-year-old boy, is transmigrated to another world called Snodedliv. This beautiful and peaceful-looking planet experiences constant snowfall. Watching the snow can calm your heart. This world has magic too. Isn’t that what everyone on Earth dreams of—feeling it, breathing it, and living in a world full of magic? That’s what people from Earth would think, but for the races that live on this planet, it’s a frozen hell. They have never seen or known spring, summer, or autumn; only an everlasting winter remains. This world is full of myths, mysteries, and unknown threats, always hidden in darkness, ready to devour you and everything close to you. Magic and Sword Curses and Blessings Talent and Hard Work Dreams and Hope Past and Future The Strong and the Weak Whether you are human or demon, Nothing really matters in the face of absolute power. Your past, present, and future can all disappear with a single breath of an absolute being. Claude, a young boy who never saw the cruel nature of humans on Earth, is now about to experience pain, suffering, and tragedy. He is about to witness the true evil nature of human beings and beings far worse than humans. Will he become "THE ALGID REX" or just another weed that crumbles away? --- **Author’s Note:** I am going to do my best while writing this novel. I am participating in this year's WSA and hope to be within the top 50 finalists. I aim to write a novel with at least 500+ chapters. With good support from readers, I will try my best to push beyond my limits and write a novel with 1000+ chapters. If there are any mistakes in the novel, please let me know. I will do my best to improve it. I hope you enjoy reading my work.
