Reborn: Evolving From Nothing
(DROPPED - unlikely to continue writing this series) Dorian was out celebrating his college graduation when a car slammed into him, and darkness took hold. He awoke to find himself in a strange new body, in a strange new world. One world among 30,000 fantastical worlds, where the mighty rule, where mystic beasts walk the earth, and magic spells warp reality. For Dorian to survive in these worlds, unfettered and free, living by his strong moral code, he will need great strength. He must make use of his strange new body and Evolve. But there's one catch... Dorian wasn't the only one sent into the 30,000 Worlds with the power to Evolve. He is the only one from Earth. He is the only one that managed to keep his memories. He is the Firstborn. But he is only one among many. Come read as the realm descends into chaos at the arrival of the 88 Anomalies. ---------------- Author's Patreon - lmkerr.com Discord: https://discord.gg/CEhpTMD
The Second Stage
(Long chapter, basically 2-in-1 compared to normal works. Reminder that SS cost is automatic, not picked by me, and based on 200 word count intervals)
"Groan…"
As the cool, peaceful Aura that Dorian spread swept over the downed Shade Martial Artist, the Shade shifted, moaning. The Aura seemed to focus on this Shade, infusing within his body.
Normally, an Aura like this could be seen as an attack if it tried to manipulate anything other than Dorian's appearance. The attack would be subtle enough that most wouldn't notice it and would only passively resist it. If their soul was weaker than Dorian's, they would fall victim to the effects of the Ability.
However, sufficiently strong souls could still resist parts of the effects, weakening it greatly. All of the Lord Class Mystic Martial Artists here had powerful wills and strong souls. Dorian's Calm Aura would normally have only a slight effect on them.
