[Side Mission n°4 : Space Exploration : Leave the planet Quanoth and find out the cause of the impending apocalypse.]
Jake was taken aback when he received this sudden notification. At the beginning of the Ordeal, he had also attempted to fly out of Quanoth to get a broader view, but he hadn't received any assignments at the time. What had changed since the last time?
[Your strength and intent.] Xi answered matter-of-factly in his place.
Indeed, the main difference from before was that he was determined to reach the sun at any cost, whereas last time he had retreated at the first hurdle. Somehow, the Oracle System was able to sense his resolve.
Unless, this mission was too difficult for the old Jake and that showing it to him too soon would have caused him to devote his efforts to a nearly impossible mission, making him risk his life without reaping any benefit. Now that he had a reason to leave the planet, the Oracle had no reason to stop him.
Just a reminder that tomorrow the first chapter of my new novel Blood Legacy is coming out as part of the WSA contest. Those of you who have been paying attention may remember another title, but I changed it after some thought. It's a little late so I'm not aiming for the podium, but I'd appreciate your support.
For those of you wondering what it's all about, very briefly it's the story of a hyper-gifted boy who transmigrates into a fantasy world of knights, monsters and magic.
In this world, everyone has a Divine Spark that allows them to do magic with the only limit being their imagination. It grows when used, but unfortunately it also becomes more and more dangerous for the holder until it leads to his/her death. The ultimate ambition of every inhabitant of this world is to overcome this fundamental limit and over the years they have tried all sorts of things to achieve this in vain.
Obviously, for those who know my style, this world is not as rosy as one might think and is actually on the verge of extinction due to both internal and external threats.
As the word Blood in the title suggests, Vampires, Werewolves, Demons and other fantastic creatures are part of the game and the hero will find his place in the midst of them all.
Some may see some very slight parallels with The Oracle Paths, and it's normal I imagine them in the same universe, but in this story everything will happen in the same place. We' re more into Dark Heroic-Fantasy with some elements of LitRPG.
