Life Drain System Chapter 24
Advertisement
'Truly a great reward, and I even got a mine available to me now. Now I do not have to worry about finding certain ores and what not. However if I can get access to other planets mines, then I should really start looking for more on quests. I wonder about my loot.... Well I can check it later. Sadly I did not get as much cultivation in as I hoped so I should focus on that for now, so another quest it is.' Yueliang thought excitedly about doing the next quest.
"Status" Yue said as he was getting ready to take a shower and get cleaned up.

'Well that takes care of some of those stat points.' Yueliang thought to himself, while washing himself clean continuing to think. 'However I wonder why I cannot surpass 99? Is it that I am not worthy of it yet, and need more practice. Or is it part of the system suppression? Or could it be it requires something special?'
"Correct, on a few parts. One it does require something that you owe the system. Next, you also are not worthy, and are in need of more practice. However I, the system, am not suppressing you. Although, I will give you a hint. For strength, agility, and endurance you need to acquire aura which also partially affects chi rising as well. Also, before then, your mission is in your quest list for what you owe the system. As for soul, intelligence, mana, luck, and charm, I already gave a hint so figure these out on your own unless you want to buy the information. It is not that I do not want to help, however if you only rely on me instead of yourself, you will digress rather than improve." Yang replied very dead seriously.
'I see, well I have a general idea of what to do now. Thank you again Yang.' Yue said pleased.
After getting out of the shower, and getting dressed Yue sat on his bed to absorb mana using the array formation. While absorbing mana, he started thinking. 'I understand the basics of how to get aura according to what was engraved in my mind and what I have read. All that needs to be done is to surpass ones limits at the brink of death. Thus the phrase high risk, high reward comes into play. However one must put everything at risk to do this.

Do I really want.... NO! There is no room for doubt. I have nothing holding me back yet. It is a good thing I have not learned about becoming a lich yet. If one is able to surpass death before getting aura no trial will be enough to obtain it as far as I know. Thus I must obtain aura first!' Yue exclaimed in his mind then said. "Quests"
After going through them for a while, he found a quest that was clearly just enough to kill himself, and one that he could not beat. Because if aura was the goal, then one must certainly nearly die but come back stronger. One must feel but not be overcome by the fear but instead fight it off and win the battle. This beast that he was to fight, was immune to his level of magic thus being the perfect opponent.
[Kill the Low Born Young Weak Rakshasa 0/1]
{Must use physical attacks or 6th level magic or higher. This is the weakest Rakshasa in existence as it is a less than half breed.}
{Rewards:
+ all loot found
+ 50,000 shop coin
+ 100,000 experience}
"I accept this quest" Yueliang said aloud, then was teleported to a dense jungle. Upon Yue's arrival, he saw the young Rakshasa with its bengal tiger like body in a humonoid form. He jumped up into a tree as quietly as he could to avoid being seen or detected. Then slowly jumped from branch to branch. The close he got the more worried he felt. This would certainly kill him if things did not turn out just right.
'Add 24 points to luck' Yueliang thought to himself. Then continued moving forward and drew his sword. In the next moment he jumped down pushing off the tree trunk directly towards the rakshasa. Just as the Rakshasa notice Yue and turned around the blade grazed its extravagant clothes. Just like any other rakshasa, it had its overinflated ego, and was ticked seeing this. Thus went to attack with its claws first.
Being faster than Yue, it quickly dug its claws into Yue's arm and pulled down tearing his flesh open. "Aargh.." Yueliang quickly tried to silence himself while trying to use the Divine Sword Refinement technique to fight off his opponent. Although it kept the Rakshasa from killing him, he was already cursed due to its claws. However, Yueliang managed to keep it from casting any spells which was a major difficulty as Rakshasa's were natural born sorcerers.

As the two fought, Yueliang's health dropped with each passing moment from both blood loss and more attacks. Yue only managed to get a few strikes in however none well placed and only superficial. The Rakshasa finally got him down on the floor so low on health he would die at any moment. He placed his foot on him as though the king of the jungle. The Rakshasa was very pleased with itself and was just deciding whether to use a spell to make him its slave or to just kill him.
In this moment of decision, Yue lifted his hand, the Rakshasa thinking he was begging for his life chuckled and just watched his last movements. Then felt it could not breath and felt cold. Looking down once more saw a big whitish blue conjured sword sticking out of its body right through its heart and lung. Instead of killing Yue in that moment like it normally would, it felt that it needed to grab the potion it had near by to live.
However before it could, Yueliang canceled the spell and the helping hand spell he used to make the sword by changing its shape, disappeared and the Rakshasa bleed out back and front all over the place until it fell dead into a puddle of its own blood. Just as Yueliang felt he was about to pass out, he tried getting up, trying to force himself to become stronger by enduring this pain and everything.
In that moment of standing he felt an energy surge through him. He had unlocked aura. Extremely pleased at this rather than risk using the aura that was currently keeping him alive to heal himself, Yue said. "Yang, I need healing please."
"Alright master, I guess considering you beat all odds and killed that young one I can give you curse removal for a extremely discounted price, 2 Years of your expected life. Do not worry you can get more life expectancy later."
"Alright, I understand. Just please do it." Yueliang said as he was teleported back and healed at the same time. 'Status' He thought as he arrived.

'Well my stats are looking fairly decent for now, however the next two things I need to do are build what is required by the system, and ask the orcs to train me so that I can take full advantage of my stats. I am sure since they trained to such a point they must be able to help me reach it as well.' Yue thought as he reviewed his stats and added some into aura.
Shortly after thinking about such matters, he summoned Rei then said. "I know you must be busy, thus I shall be brief. Would you or some of the others train me. I have higher stats however without training I do not think I can utilize it properly."
"Hahah, Sorry I am not laughing at you, it is just I knew one day you would ask, so I prepared something for you. An item that we use when we need to train others quickly. It is a full immersion game like device, but utilizes and stimulates your body. Thus you can only use what you have in the real world, and it stimulates your body so that you memorize the movements and everything else, also allowing one to grow. Anyways, if you do not want to use that I could assign someone to train you." Rei said.
"No no, that is perfect, thank you so much. Sorry again for bothering you while you are so busy." Yueliang replied.
"Great, I will have it brought to your room then." Rei said, then left quickly to get back to work.

Tom Is Chill
An eye for an eye may make the whole world go blind but at least that f***er can't see either. The early bird gets the worm but I go to the grocery store so screw you. Technically humans don't need to breathe. If no one had any more children everyone would be dead in the next one hundred fifty years probably. Does this count as a synopsis? No? Okay. Tom murders a bunch of dudes. *Tom Dies*. Tom is reborn. Tom doesn't want to be reborn but no one really cares. Tom is born in a new world. He didn't really have to be though. Cause his old world had magic and all. I don't want to give anything away. I swear this fiction is more serious than I am I just find it hard to write a synopsis. Maybe I should write something like this. "Follow Earnheart Super Maximus on his gender-bender super adventures that are exciting and often humorous as he gathers a bunch of chicks for literally no reason." I mean that's what everyone else does and it seems to work.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
