《Night Ranger》Chapter 94. Fortune Fairy

"Don’t be nervous, this is the Night Monarch’s blessing!" Sean explained.
Kate felt relieved and curiously looked at that round green fire gradually merging with her body.
Marvin, who just finished his advancement, stood up and looked at Kate with curiosity.
He didn’t know what she would get.
Sean patted Marvin’s shoulder. "Kid, you are already a qualified Night Walker."
"Members of our organization don’t have any set duty. Your only mission right now is to kill the crimson patriarch of the twin snakes cult."
"But you are still weak. Wait until you have fully developed and then make some trouble for him. As for the others, unless there is an emergency, we won’t gather the members."
"Where you go next is up to you."
Marvin nodded.
He was extremely grateful to Sean. The old man gave him the opportunity to advance to Night Walker and gifted him a magic weapon!
And a full year of blacksmithing, giving Marvin a remarkable tempering.
He was about to express his thanks, but the old blacksmith suddenly said in a low voice, "This girl isn’t simple."
"Befriending her is good. It would be advantageous and a harmless matter. Her future has no limit. The Night Walker organization need allies like her."
Marvin instantly understood.
He also let Kate receive the Night Monarch’s blessing because of wanting to make friends with a future powerful Sorcerer.
The Night Walker organization wasn’t big but it had many allies. The Great Elven King of Thousand Leaves Forest, for example, was one of their most loyal allies.
These relationships needed to be protected. Old Sean as a former leader naturally dealt with these things easily.
Even though it might seem a bit calculated, if one wanted to survive in this world, having all kinds of friends and allies was indispensable.
Thus, Marvin nodded.
...
After a few minutes, the ghostly fire was completely absorbed by Kate. She opened her eyes with a bright expression on her face.
"Thank you," she said sincerely to Sean. "I seem to understand a little how to control my strength."

The old fox only chuckled. "This is your own power. The Night Monarch’s blessings only gave you a path to follow."
"Also, this is Marvin’s advancement ceremony. If you wish to express your gratitude, you should also thank him."
"He was the one attracting the will of the Night Monarch, giving you the blessings on the way."
Hearing the old man say this, Marvin couldn’t help being somewhat moved.
He was giving Marvin all the credit. And Kate seemed to have received a lot of benefits from the Night Monarch’s blessings.
As expected, Kate hesitated and then said, "It seems like I don’t need the amethyst rock."
"I’m about to go back, Big Sis needs my help. If you are interested, you can come take a look at Rocky Mountain."
"But before I leave, I’ll give you a gift to repay you."
She then softly chanted an incantation.
Old Sean slightly squinted.
This was a summoning spell!
Marvin heard a part of the spell. This was a common pet summoning incantation used by Sorcerers.
‘Is she summoning her pet?’
Marvin felt somewhat curious.
...
Soon, a simple magic circle appeared in front of the three. Something plump emerged from the magic circle!
Its skin was pink and it looked chubby. It was extremely adorable. There was a pair of very small wings on its back.
"Ding! Ding! Quickly wake up!"
Kate was holding this plump thing. The creature lazily kept her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep and not wanting to wake.
Marvin and Sean looked at each other in dismay.
The girl was somewhat embarrassed.
She explained, "Ding is still young, she needs long periods of sleep…"
She then blushed and pinched that small thing’s cheek and shouted in a low voice, "Ding, wake up quickly!"
"Otherwise, next time you wake up there won’t be any coconut jelly to eat!"
That last sentence seemed effective. The pitiful thing strenuously opened its eyes and tried hard to move its wings.
At that time, Marvin saw what it was!
‘Heavens!’
‘It’s actually an extremely rare Fortune Fairy?’

‘Even if it’s a child, isn’t Kate’s luck simply too frightening?’
Marvin was completely speechless.
He finally understood what being a [Child of the Plane] entitled. Born as a Fate Sorcerer under the care of Fate, her pet would obviously be a Fortune Fairy.
Old Sean’s expression also changed. He clearly had enough experience to recognize Ding’s identity!
Fortune Fairies were a very rare type of lifeforms. Forget the common wood fairy, even a greater fairy couldn’t compare with this mythic lifeform!
In all of Feinan’s history, not many fortune fairies appeared.
People didn’t know much about them, but Marvin knew. Fortune Fairies were in fact fragments of a Fate Tablet!
During the third era, many living creatures successfully became gods because they received a fragment of one of the three fate tablets. But some fragments went missing, or developed intelligence, drifting away amongst Feinan’s wildernesses.
Even gods couldn’t find these Fate tablet’s fragments. A small portion of those turned into creatures that went beyond an ordinary person’s imagination. Fortune Fairies were one of them.
Feinan had all kinds of aloof and remote gods, but they were unlucky all this time because the fate fragments took shape of creatures like fortune fairies.
They usually slept in the wilderness only waiting for a rare classes such as Fate Sorcerers to summon them as pets, probably because of their perception. And they thus became Fate Sorcerers' pets.
...
"Come, Ding, give a blessing to this Mister."
Kate pinched Ding’s chubby face as if she was coaxing a child.
The latter yawned, dispirited. It took a glance at Marvin and displayed disdain. "Why should I bless such a vile man?"
"I don’t like him."
Her voice was soft, but her tone was sassy.
Kate was embarrassed. Her face turned stiff and she said, "This is an order from your Master!"
"Ah? I dislike this kind of order without a reason the most!" Ding angrily flew up. She extended her short small finger at Marvin and yelled, "I’ll strike this man with thunder and lightning!"
"Aurora Lightning!"
Lightning suddenly flashed in the sky!
Marvin was startled!
3rd circle spell, Aurora Lightning?
And it was an insta cast? He would die if he delayed!
He hurriedly withdrew, frightened, and rolled away!
But his reaction speed was nowhere near the Aurora Lightning’s speed. The frightening electric current directly ran through Marvin’s body, frying his hair and turning his face pitch back!
But he didn’t have any negative reactions apart from those!
‘This is Aurora Lightning? I’ve already been electrocuted?’ Marvin looked at his log window with fright.
He hadn’t lost a single hair.
‘Hold on…’
A few log windows appeared:
[A Fortune Fairy used a 3rd circle spell on you, Aurora Lightning.]
[Dodge failed…]
[Fortune Fairy exclusive specialty – (Everything Will Be Fine) activated… Modification occurred in the Aurora Lightning…]
[You received Fortune Fairy’s blessing – Luck +1 – Duration: Unknown]
...
Marvin immediately checked his character window and sure enough, at the bottom was a new line, [Luck +1].
‘Luck +1? What’s the use?‘
Marvin didn’t have any similar experiences in the past. A stat like Luck was very vague and couldn’t really be checked.
Ding, still floating after casting the spell, suddenly became very dispirited. "Wuwuwu," she wept while falling.
"Why is it that every time I want to kill, it turns into a blessing?"
"I’m really too kind! I want coconut jelly, I want to sleep!"
Marvin was speechless.
Kate carried Ding in her arms, feeling somewhat sorry for her. Ding laid down in her embrace and immediately fell asleep.
"Ding’s blessing consumed a lot of strength," explained Kate.
"She is still young after all."
"I hope this blessing can help you when you are in danger."
"If you have time, come take a look at Rocky Mountain."
After saying this, Kate didn’t stay any longer and bid farewell to Marvin and Sean before leaving Thousand Leaves Forest alone.
...
And after advancing, Marvin also had to part with Sean.
The old man returned to Oak Town to continue his half-secluded life.
Marvin continued his journey north, going toward the northwest.
Not only was the eternal flower, the flower most loved by the wood elves, in that direction, but there was also a page of the Book of Nalu.
He had promised Hathaway to find this badly damaged artifact.

Tim the Engineer
Summoned against his will to a world of swords and magic, an engineering student struggles to find a way home under the shadow of a world devouring threat. ***************************** Updates: 5/13/19: Revisions to several chapters for clarity, grammar, and style. 4/29/19: A short side story and artwork has been added to the blog. 4/8/19: A Side Story has been updated on my new blog (every writer is required to have one). https://talesfromliahar.wordpress.com/ ***************************** “The summoning scenarios are broken down into groups of ten.” Emi Ito stated. “Don’t, don’t you dare say another word.” Muttered Genzo Uchida. His eyes had turned bloodshot and his hands shook with rage. “The first thirty…” “Shut up!” Genzo bellowed “How dare you help these disrespectful gaijin?” Flecks of spit and madness flew from his face, his fist raised ready to strike. But Emi did not flinch, instead she was about ready to continue when Yuma Takeuchi interrupted her. “Uchida, please,” her sweet sounding words could melt ice. “I think we will have a better chance of getting home if we all work together.” When she glanced up with her sleepy looking eyes at Genzo Uchida he deflated visibly. “Were not getting home.” Uchida said coolly. “Group summoning, large, that puts us in the 60 series. No one came to greet us after five minutes of arrival. That leaves scenarios 68 and 69. In scenario 68 there is something that binds the large group together; they are all classmates or a single family. But thanks to the gaijin” he spit out the word “I think we are scenario 69 with no way home.” Ikko Inoue’s eyes went wide, while Katsukno and Hayata started muttering to themselves. Tim took on a serious look and rubbed his scruffy chin. Emi maintained her stoic expression while trying to find something to refute. McKenzie glanced at Randall and giggled. Randall took the prompting of his teammate and followed up by approaching Genzo. “Uh, so we are in a sixty-nine?” “Yes.” Replied Genzo with the seriousness of someone who’s life was about to end. McKenzie covered her mouth and snickered. “You and me, were stuck in a sixty-nine situation?” Randall pushed with a grin. “Yes, we are all stuck in a sixty-nine scenario together!” Genzo retorted in anger. McKenzie fell on her butt laughing. “What the hell is so funny?” Demanded Genzo, whose face had turned red. “It’s a problem with the automatic translation.” Retorted Tim. Randall, who seemed unable to quit started in again “So, about this sixty-ni…” Genzo interrupted Randall with a swift punch to the face. But, because of their height difference it was a bit of an uppercut that left Randall rattled. Tim and Ikko moved to step in between the two, but Genzo showed no further hostility. Instead he just stared at his clenched fist with such intensity it grabbed the attention of the room. “I unlocked a skill.” He said bluntly. ***************************** This is not a light novel, but people who like light novels should enjoy the themes of this book. ***************************** A Map of the Region

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
