《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Roan might not care about his Elemental Color, but Alanda definitely did. Not only him, but everyone in this field did as well. Their Tribe had made the Elemental Affinity test thousands of times, but they had never seen a Dark Elemental Color.
However, Alanda had an idea bout it. Juri had commented with him in the past about it. It seems that there are some extremely rare element users in the world. Obviously, the region around the Astreg City didn't have anyone like that. At least, not until now.
Alanda noticed everyone looking at him, waiting for the result of the test. In the end, he could only say what he thought that it was.
"Cough, Cough. Level 7 Darkness Affinity."
Alanda didn't even need to tell Roan to go to the side since he was already there. Not only that, but he could see an awful expression on his face.
"Next, Rean Larks."
Rean smiled brightly at Roan on the other side and ascended to the stage. At the same time, he thought.
'Hehe! You definitely will try the same thing as me. Too bad, though. It doesn't matter how crazy or loud the sound is, you won't be able to stop me. Those desserts are mine!'
Unfortunately for Rean, Roan had long since thought about this possibility. As soon as Rean started his test, the one to show an evil smile on his face this time was Roan.
The Spiritual Energy gathered around Rean's hands as fast as it was with Roan. Almost instantly, the Main Affinity Orb shined brightly with a White Light! If Alanda says that he wasn't expecting it, he would be lying. Still, to see two rare elements at the same time was really shocking!
'Just what did Turen and Hamarlia do to conceive such a pair?'
Rean was also focused on his Orb. At the same time, he was waiting for Roan to use the same trick. But suddenly, he heard a soft laugh.

"I have no doubt that you are ready for any sounds, but I wonder if you are prepared for this."
Rean and Roan can stop their own thoughts from being heard. However, if one of them wants his thoughts to be heard, the other side can't block it. So Roan didn't use any loud sound, but a 'movie' instead.
As for which movie? Which one was better than their parents during their intimate moments? During the time they were babies, their parents did bother hiding anything since they were just 'newborns.' Rean and Roan shouldn't be able to remember anything in the future. Too bad, though. Roan still remembers everything clearly. 'Especially' the fact that Rean couldn't deal with such scenes.
Immediately, the scenes of Rean and Roan's parents enjoying their night played inside Rean's mind. Roan also made sure to play it in High Quality, especially giving a big ZOOM at those two places where the most 'action' was happening.
Rean almost vomited blood!
"Yo-You! Don't you have any respect for our parents?!"
Roan just snorted, though.
"All Is Fair in Love, War, and Desserts betting!"
Rean felt like crying but had no tears. Between the zoomed scenes, moans, and quick pat pat pat sounds, he ended not being able to concentrate at all! He had to do his best just to finish lighting up the Seventh Affinity Orb. In the end, Rean and Roan's bet was a draw.
Of course, as soon as Rean got down from the stage, the two boys started another fight... which also ended in a draw.
Alanda didn't know what to do with those two. Still, he had to give Rean's test results.
"Sigh... Rean Larks, Level 7 Light Affinity."
Seeing the twins who seemed to not give a damn to their test results, Alanda pondered whether all his shook earlier had any meaning.
The tests continued until all 61 kids were tested.

But now, Alanda felt another headache coming his way.
'Our Tribe does have cultivation techniques for all five elements, even Lightning, which is a lot rare, we have a two. However, where the hell will I find a Light and Darkness Element Cultivation Technique?'
Alanda pondered a bit and then shook his head.
'Forget it, I will ask Juri about it later. He spends more time in the city than me, so he might have an idea. Besides, before Rean and Roan enter the Energy Gathering Realm, a cultivation technique will be useless for them. If worse comes to worst, we can give them another elemental cultivation technique. Although it won't be optimal, it is still better than nothing.'
It was then that Alanda remembered one thing. Rean and Roan are already in the Spiritual Vision Stage of the Body Transformation Realm.
'How many meridians did they open already?'
Alanda decided to ask them after he dismisses all the kids.
"Everyone, come with me. We are going to the cultivation techniques repository. Our Tribe is only considered a small one, so we don't have that many. Still, the ones present were gathered with the sweat and blood of the Tribe during its several years of existence. So make sure to take care of them well in the future."
All the kids followed Alanda to a big building in the center of the Tribe. Outside, one could see two warriors guarding the entrance. Once Alanda got close, they bowed and opened the way. The kids all followed, soon passing through the gate.
Inside, several shelves with scrolls and books could be seen. Alanda then looked at the kids and said.
"Those are the techniques of our Tribe. Once you learn how to write and read, you will be allowed to look into them. I will also personally help you select the most suitable technique for each of you."
After that, three other Tribe members came from behind Alanda.
"Those three are the ones who are going to teach you how to Write and Read. Every warrior of the Varen Tribe must know how to do that. After all, our Tribe makes a lot of trades with outsiders. If you don't know how to read, you will most likely be tricked into bad deals."
The 61 kids were then separated into three different classes, with Rean and Roan being put in different ones.
Seeing that the division was completed, Alanda smiled and said.
"Warriors need cultivation resources to cultivate. However, our Tribe is not a rich one, so funds are limited. Only those who put the best efforts will receive the best support. The warrior apprentices that learn how to write and read well enough for my liking will be rewarded with 10 Spirit Stones. But it is only valid for the first 10 who come to me. The others will only receive 5 Spirit Stones, and that is after they finish learning as well. If you want to become strong warriors, you better not lose this opportunity."
All the kids' eyes lit up. They all heard from their parents that warriors need spirit stone to cultivate faster. So they were all full gung-ho at the moment.
But there were two exceptions. Not too surprisingly, they were Rean and Roan.
"This is gonna be quite an easy reward."
Roan agreed with Rean.
"It's to the point where I even feel bad about participating. They are all just kids, after all."
Suddenly, Rean looked at Roan.
"Are you still up for a bet?"
Roan immediately nodded.
"Brint it on! One week of desserts for the one who gets recognized by Alanda first."
With a handshake, the idiots' bet was on... once more.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.

GOJO : A SORCERER IN THE SOUL SOCIETY
Short version: Gojo dies and gets bleached. Serious version: After an epic fight against Sukuna at full power. Gojo sacrifices himself to protect his students, Yuji and Megumi. What he didn't expect was that he would wake up in the afterlife. NB: This is set 55 years before the start of canon. For the fan of Bleach, 110 BC, 55 BC, and 20 BC are very important milestones. I choose 55 because it would help me make an interesting story. Disclaimer: Neither the cover nor bleach and Jujutsu belong to me.
