Ataegina Game Novels & Stories

"Anyways, I want you two to be ready. My roommate and I are going to get you guys around four. We are going to watch a game at campus. Tyler is playing." "Tyler? Your boyfriend?" “Yeah,” Maggie said. “My boyfriend.” I smiled. “Still weird hearing you say that.” She laughed. “Get used to it.” Before I could answer, I heard footsteps. I looked up and Zaire appeared in the kitchen doorway. He leaned against the frame with his hands in his pockets, pretending he was not listening. He was definitely listening. “So you and your roommate are coming at four?” “Yes.” "Alright." "Okay. I have to go, Seb. I'll see you guys later. And tell Zaire I said hi."

The moment the countdown hit nothing, the arena exploded into motion. The floor beneath the pods dissolved into a living battlefield—an adaptive virtual combat zone known as Aegis Run, it is a survival-based tactical game designed specifically for elite tournaments. The map materialized in layers: collapsing platforms, floating terrain shards, vertical combat lanes, and shifting energy barriers that punished hesitation. Above the arena, a massive digital clock ignited. 10:00. Ten minutes. That was all they had. This wasn’t about kills alone. This was about survival. When the clock hit zero, only those still active would qualify for the next round. No respawns, no mercy.

"ATG tells you it’s a resource. Why fear the dark when you can use it to heat your homes? Join the Aether-Grid. Take back your sovereignty." Evangeline stood in the command hub, her hand resting on the Acoustic Prism. The "Deep-Note" from the Mariana Trench chose that exact moment to hit a new, bone-shaking frequency. "They’re using the Abyssal Tide as a marketing tool," Evangeline whispered. "They’re telling people that if they buy ATG's 'Magic-Filters,' they’ll be safe from the Siren." Xander returned to her side, his tactical armor scorched from the siphon-drain. He looked at the Quads, who were already forming a perimeter around the Arch.

As breath-taking as the Zhangye Danxia mountains in Gansu, China. Faster than you can hit pause, the hills darken and become alive with the sound of… hoofbeats and wingbeats. I see an antlike swarm of all manners of medieval baddies: orcs, goblins, dwarves, ogres, dragons, black mages, rabid unicorns, dark elves etc. Every single one of them drawn to me through the game mechanic of agro. They basically want to erase me from the face of this virtual earth. They’re all that stand between me and Katey.

He held out a slick white business card. She glanced at the card. Aegis Group was printed on it in a neat type, no nonsense, no logo. Thick cardstock, with that fancy grain that spoke of understated money. These weren't bargain business cards some scam artists got off the Internet. It was the nice stuff only those who dealt with rich people used.

LYRA "I don't trust her Damien. I need to lure her down to get to Magnus, she's gullible enough to think I'm stupid enough to fall for her tricks" Sage says through his phone call My lips quivered as I peeped through his room standing like a statue as his words reached my hearing. Every piece of my heart-shattering. "She has to produce an heir for me before I reject her and I'm sure by that time we've gotten to achieve our main goal," He says yet again.

Inside the iron cage, a swarm of rats huddled in the darkness, their eyes glowing green as they squeaked and chattered. Terror consumed my entire body. I struggled with everything I had left to break free, but they locked the cage shut. The next second, the swarm of rats descended upon me, biting and tearing at my skin. The agonizing pain of my flesh being ripped apart made me howl in screams. Peering through the only narrow gap in the cage, I could see Tom pressing himself over Aria with heavy breathing. "Tom, come on..." "No, it'll hurt the baby." "Then let me help you..."

This could only mean one thing. "It's a Skill" Indeed, it was a skill that allowed Aegeus to so easily break the other weapons. But it wasn't his skill. It was Aegis's! That's right. Aegis already had a few skills, and this was one of them. This skill was called "Shatter" and just like its name, it was a skill that allowed Aegis to break any weapon that was below it in grade upon touching it. It didn't even need to apply any pressure. Just touching it was enough!

I am certain that all the color must have drained from my face as he just ended the video call. I pace frantically before beginning to hastily pack a bag. I would just leave surely I could figure this out. Suddenly I am running to the bathroom to be sick yet again. Laying on the cold tile floor with tears streaming down my blotchy cheeks reality crashes in on me as rational thought returns. There is no leaving a pack without permission and there is no way Drake will let me go. I have to come up with a plan and make sure I have the upper hand before I see Drake again. I am going to have to match power and wit with my alpha. If only I could talk to my old tormentor Drake and not my Alpha Drake

As Naraja finished his first introduction with an awkward knead, he brought attention to the back of his neck towards the person, Nai, whom he was starting to have this strong peculiar feeling of; love, surge up inside of him again. Nai: “Ummmm.. sure, s~uure, so yeah my name is Nai and don’t get too anxious about that moment,..earlier it was actually quite cute he~he, but anyway we are your comrades: Saint Teresa Of Avila, John Of The Cross, and Anima….sh~eee actually has an interesting particular ability that I like to call if I remember correctly, h~mm, Maladaptive Day-Dreaming and oh ye~aah she’s also deaf/mute or something like that, but anyway then there’s Eli, but you have to always
