The Legend of Black Eyes

Planet Hera, shunned by the gods, suffers from constant wars. Bloodshed and conflict rule the four continents. Bandits lurk in the shadows, ready to ambush the weak and defenceless. Sinister beasts roam the desolate lands and forgotten forests. Zedd Darkstar has lost everything, his family, his beloved, and even his own identity. He cheated death only to have legendary mages and powerful deities chase after him. They threw him in Nowhere, a place neither here nor there. Nothing existed in the abyss. Even time had no effect in Nowhere. Just as Zedd thought he’d spend an eternity surrounded by the everlasting darkness, a magnificent creature appeared before him. “What are you?” he had asked. “I am you divine blessing, and your worst nightmare.” “What do you want from me?” “Would you like to cheat death one more time?” ------ Chapter Length: 1.2k - 1.5k ------ This is a work in progress. I am currently in the process of editing my first chapters to make them more immersive, thus more fun and enjoyable. ----- There is magic in the world, but it's dictated by rules that you get to explore during the story. There are no levels or infinite grinding. The story focuses more on the MC using his head, and the powers available to him, to get out of tough situations. ------ This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

Rimbaldi's Automata

Sylens was wailing and thrashing his legs on the dirt. He clutched his hand, and whimpered. By the looks of it, he'd broken it by punching the giant. I saw the thing's eyes flash as its head slowly turned toward Sylens. Then it raised one foot. I blinked, then saw the same metallic foot above Sylens's head. 

I saw Friede rush toward Sylens and drag him from his legs. If she hadn't reacted that fast, Sylens would have transformed into mush and sinew. 

I rushed toward Heda, who was watching from a fair distance.

"This must be the guardian," Heda said as soon as I reached her. She turned to me, a grim look on her face. "I can't detect any weaknesses. What are we to do?" 

I spread my senses toward the giant, looking for the crystal that powered it. I couldn't find any trace of the sphere, however. It felt as though neutral energy spread through the giant's body, powering it but without a visible source.
