--The First Strip--
FuturisticCyborg had just reached 30 million combined stats. He knew he had a long way to go, especially with the new lands. They events helped him to grow, as long as he stayed relatively active. Cyborg had never hit BL, never been in a war, and was constantly in b2b HtE clans. He had saved up a good amount of allies, having max plunder. Every once in a while an ally would be hired, so e would hire back or he would search for a new ally. But one day, all 14 of his allies were hired by different people, and none of them were in the same clan, or even same family clan. When he went to hire them back, he received a notification that he did not have the necessary funds. So he went to the ally market to buy some new allies that were slightly cheaper, but before e could click buy, he was spammed with notifications. Too many to count. All of them steals, and he had no money left. And his spy bar, nor had his troop bar had decreased, but all of his gold was gone. Then his clan kicked him, even though he still had 3 days left on his pass. He was so confused, but then another thing worried him. He had 78 crystals earlier that day, but now he only had 6. 72 crystals gone. His account went inactive after that, with the police finding his body weeks later, with a blue horn sticking out of his body, and 5 letters cut into his head. RoTWB. Rumors say that he had never used a horn, and constantly made fun of the fact that it was an EB item.

 

  It was a dark stormy night up in the clouds of Osmon Rai. The thunder was loud enough you could probably hear it from the depths of the Abyss. We were still preparing the buildings for our troops when it happened...  A monstrous beast arose out of the clouds, if I hadn't known that Lignabelua had been slayed then I would think it to be her. The beast growled and crashed right through one of the Prizmai Ashtaraks taking my spies with it, it was one of the biggest beasts I had seen.

     It seemed to be hungry, "Maybe if we feed it then it shall leave." I thought... But lord was I wrong... We prepared a feast for the beast, we had no idea what it liked, you couldn't imagine all the food, yes it took a lot out of our gold fund, but we needed to get rid of this thing.

     But it seemed to think the food was bait for a trap, it got angry and demolished what was left of our kingdom in Osmon Rai. I started to fall and fall and fall, until I hit the ground and that's when it happened....

I woke up.

 

The Penelope

The Penelope's deck was covered in fresh spray as the bow broke through another large wave. "T'is a rough day at sea today" exclaimed the Captain. "T'is true that the waves be larger than normal today" replied his first mate. Then suddenly Z'uthmerak came up out of nowhere with the RKO tearing everyone apart.























The Penelope was never seen again

 

I hate this place. This zoo. This prison. This reality, whatever you want to call it, I can't stand it any longer.

It's the smell, if there is such a thing. I feel saturated by it. I can taste your stink and every time I do, I fear that I've somehow been infected by it.



The horror.... The horror..

 

The constraints of war has worn on his nerves. To the point of badmouthing his enemies.
When the war ended and the victors were proclaimed. His ire got the better of him. The spew from his mouth couldn't be rectified by the clan leader. So he was kicked out, and banished from the clan.
In rage he went on the attack, going after the smaller players of his former clan.
From here on he is the practice dummy for said clan.
Now he is a ghost of his former self.

 

This is not in my skillset lol. Best of luck to the competitors! Look foward to reading the stories.

 

Same here, could try something, but I would end up depressing myself lol. Good luck to all the competitors and whoever wins that SoD

 

A pitch black new moon. A flash of lightning. A lone, dire scream piercing the cold night's silence. This monthly cycle had been continuing for the past 6 years, almost as long as the entire kingdom's lifespan. Every time there was a new moon, a new victim would be claimed. The pattern to these deaths were random, and the whole kingdom knew that it was only a matter of time before someone of utmost importance would be annihilated. The leader of the kingdom decided that in order to quell the danger of this unknown threat, three warriors of rivaling clans would form a tentative alliance to stop the killer once and for all.

The three warriors chosen were known for their valor and their might, as well as their ability to utterly destroy any kingdom they came across. So began the uneasy alliance of the three warriors known solely as X, Y, and Z.

These chosen heroes traversed the treacherous landscape in order to track and locate the unknown assailant. Finally, after months of fruitless effort, the warriors stumbled upon a lead hidden in the dirt. After careful excavation of the clue, the warriors unearthed an array of symbols. At first, the symbols resembled meaningless gibberish, but over time, the three warriors were able to deduce that the symbols coded for the awe-inspiring Mount Spragga. This mountain was regarded as the most dangerous landmark all throughout the world, but it was here that the mysterious beast would be found.

So, the warriors ventured onward and reached the mountain. They began to climb it's perilous slopes, which were riddled with crevasses leading straight to the underworld. However, the unknown threat had caught wind of its assassins, and decided to take action against this new danger. With an insidious gust of dark energy, the ground beneath the three warriors suddenly cracked wide open. X and Z leaped clear of the gaping pit, but Y's reflexes were a millisecond too slow, and he fell into the hole with a lone scream, never to be seen or heard from again. And so there were two.

A week after the loss of Y, the other two warriors were still dumbfounded by the raw display of power shown by this seemingly ubiquitous enemy. They could barely comprehend the raw strength of this being. However, the king of the land had ordered them to destroy this threat, so the duo pressed onward over the slopes of Mount Spragga. The unknown being was surprised over the perseverance of these two warriors, so it decided to act out against them another time, in an effort to scare the twosome away. The next night, the two warriors heard a low, whistling noise echo on the mountain. Over their dim fire, the two warriors looked at each other, terrified of what was about to happen. Just then, a massive ray of pure darkness rose from the ground, enveloping Z in a crushing embrace. Just as quickly as the darkness came, it disappeared, taking Z with it. A lone scream. One more warrior left.

X was horribly frightened by this point. Both of his comrades had perished to this unknown threat, and X knew that he would be next. To his surprise, as he continued the long trek up the mountain, he encountered no hardships along the way. Food was plentiful, and the terrain was relatively easy to traverse. Before X knew it, he had reached the summit of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, in a dimly lit section, he glimpsed a small dark cave. "This is where the monster must be" said X to himself. Summoning all the courage he possessed, X ventured into the gloomy cave.

X lit a torch he had brought with him from the beginning of his journey. Sword drawn, he stealthily crept down the cave, listening for the sound of this unnatural beast. Suddenly, he heard a snapping noise behind him, and X whirled around, ready to strike at this unknown threat. To his complete surprise, Y was standing right behind him. "What! This can't be real!" X exclaimed in shock. Y didn't answer him, but instead motioned for X to follow him deeper into the cave. Stunned by this new development, X followed Y farther into the darkness. The cave was much larger on the inside than it seemed, and after a mile or so of walking, Y turned a corner and exited X's line of vision. X quickly rounded the corner, and nearly collided into Z, who was standing right where Y should have been. "How is this happening..." X muttered in disbelief. Similar to Y's behavior, Z simply turned around, walked deeper into the cave, and motioned for X to follow him. Shaking his head in a stupor, X walked after Z, wondering what was going to happen.

A short while later, X came to a large room inside of the cave, which looked to have an altar right in the middle of it. Y and Z were standing on either side of the altar, murmuring in a strange language. "Why am I here? What is this place? What is wrong with you all?" X blurted out. Instead of answering the question, Y turned to the altar, saying: "we have brought the third to you, my lord. Shall we proceed?".

A booming voice resonated through the cave: "PROCEED". Y and Z started to approach X in a calm, yet oddly threatening manner. "Join us, X." Murmured Z. "Join us in the raising of our Lord". At first, Y and Z were over 30 feet from X, but, in the blink of an eye, they were right on top of him. "Let me go!" Shouted X. His pleas fell on deaf ears, as Y and Z brought X to the altar table. The same sinister dark energy that took over Y and Z now started to seep into X. Suddenly, X understood everything. This creature was not a bad thing. It was the kingdoms liberation from the vices that had gripped it. X smiled as the dark matter slowly consumed him. All was right in the world, now that he understood...

With the final assimilation of X, the unknown creature was able to achieve full power, something that it had not seen since before the time of Majesty, the original warrior that had imprisoned the creature in the altar. Now, the creatures power was near limitless, and with the help of its new henchmen, X, Y, and Z, the creature was free to do whatever it wished. Instead of the attacks only coming every new moon, a new victim was claimed every single day. The kingdom is now in serious danger of losing everything to this unknown assailant, now called Stelios the undertaker. Armies now must come together and face a new threat, one unlike any threat ever seen. An "epic" threat, if I do say so myself. Can you and your clan defeat Stelios and his three minions X, Y, and Z? A lone scream echoes through the night...

I love reading these threads. Keep posting!

 

The emperor sat alone in his empty throne room, his large 6 and half foot frame dwarfed by the massive throne he set upon, the back of it stretching a good 4 feet above the crown on his head, casting a long shadow across the large empty room.

His head rested heavily in both hands as he thought about what he had done, the deal hed struck. Apheriun had held his end of the deal. The undead lord had made him emperor of all the land. All the lords and kings from the southern sea to the frozen wastes in the north had bent knee to him after Apheriun gave him the power to defeat the mighty troll king, Usaris, and drive his hordes deep into the north. The mighty knights of the fire emblem from the south, the Zodiac alliance of freedom from the west, even the shadowy and much feared assassins guild the black hand, along with many other noble familes, all had sworn fealty to him. At the young age of 28, he now had the loyalty of over 20 different kings, lords, and alliances across the realm, making him the most powerful man in the known civilized world.


But at the moment he did not feel powerful, he felt afraid, and alone. It had been the young emperors turn to pay his end of the dark bargain. His first born son, his heir, would be given to Apheriun, he said something about there being great power in the blood of an emperor. The emperor hadnt payed much attention to it at the time, children seemed so far off, and he was an ambitious warlord at the time.
But one look at his son, born a year ago today, and he knew hed not be keeping his end of the bargain.

He had thought his empire strong enough to resist Apheriun......With his military at half its former strength, his elite Red Paladins obliterated to the last man, two brothers lost in the fighting, and several of his subject kingdoms declaring separation from his empire, he was starting to realize he may have underestimated the ancient beings power.
The undead lord was drawing the foulest beasts from the depths of the kingdom to ravage his lands. A mighty boar like war beast known as Claydor, as big as a house, had ravaged the South, destroying all in his path.
No sooner had his elite guard, the Red Paladins, taken
the beast down than a huge monster from the depths of the ocean, larger than any sea vessel, had started attacking any ship that strayed from port. With sailing no longer safe the kingdom couldn't get the important grain shipments in it relied upon and the kingdom was starving and near revolt.
A large stone golem, said to be 80 feet tall and indestructible, had ravaged the western territories to the point that what was left of the Zodiac Alliance was now residing in the capitol, the seat of his empire.
And the latest reports, the fabled ice giant, Jorathe the silver, was advancing out of the frozen North, making its way inland, killing everything in its path. The armies hed sent to meet these horrors had came back in shambles, or not at all.

His kingdom was on the break of ruin, but the emperor was steadfast in his resolve, his son would not be offered up to Apheriun, the secret of his dark deal with the undead lord would die with him, and the entire kingdom if thats what it took. He knew this was a selfish act, but his greed and selfishness had won him the throne, may as well be the undoing of it. All he knew was that child was the only great and pure thing hed ever done in this life, and he would find a way to beat Aphiriun and his abominations, or die trying.
