You really are the finest little bug I’ve ever known
I dare say, you could take on a dragon on your own
Well, perhaps a wyvern or two, but in time you’ll grow
There sure are a lot of portals opening now though
Sting flew through the sky avoiding monsters left and right
Some of them were weak but there were none he’d like to fight
Most of them ignored him, but because he was so small
He knew he’d wind up someone’s snack if he slowed down at all
Achievement: New Skills
You should have no problem using skills now by the way
Just like any mortal, you can train them every day
Some titles and classes will make them more powerful
But whatever class you are, I think you’re wonderful
Sting had noticed something different about his new mind
Some unknown ability or power of some kind
And when he tried to use a ‘skill’ just to see what it means
He was suddenly aware of several status screens

A flying portal monster that can shock its chosen prey
Descending like a bolt of lightning any time of day
They are known to prey on creatures fifty times their size
You should find shelter if you notice you’ve caught its eyes
From beyond that blue screen came a sound that deafened Sting
A lightning bolt the shape of a bird was fast approaching

He didn’t have time to evade his Portal Monster friend
So his only option was to struggle and defend
He realized he didn’t have the time to spin around
Judging by the speed of the monster that made that sound
But now he somehow knew of an attack he’d never used
Even as he cast the spell himself, he was confused
In front of Sting appeared a shining ball of raw mana
Which morphed and transformed quickly into Sting’s first idea
A stinger just like he had took shape before his own eyes
Then it flew toward the hawk which recoiled in surprise
The projectile stinger he’d made with magic quickly flew
He hoped it would reach his foe and his aim was straight and true
The stinger pierced the Lightning Hawk while Sting flew to the side
His enemy let out a cry and very quickly died

I’d almost forgotten you can absorb mana too!
There’s a lot of Heroes who would be jealous of you
Even without my help, you could become much stronger
Though if not for my blessings, it would take much longer
Sting could feel his mana increase ever so slightly
As he’d experienced many times, but differently
Now he clearly felt the level added to his speed
And it was an exhilarating feeling indeed
He put his newly increased speed to work without delay
But before long another monster tried to block his way
He tried to go around but it hungrily chased Sting
This time it was easy to guess what it was thinking

This Wyvern was born somewhere affected by chaos
Such mana is not gained without suffering great loss
This one seems to have suffered in order to survive
Enduring a birth place where chaos and destruction thrive
The wyvern targeted Sting with its fiery attacks
The small bug didn’t have a single moment to relax
But Sting felt confident that there was something he could do
He searched himself for one more skill and right away he knew
He channelled mana to his little wings and flapped them quick
Creating a gale while the flames continued to lick
The wyvern’s fire no longer posed a threat to Sting at all
And as the wind reached the wyvern it soon began to fall
Unable to move through the air which flowed as Sting now willed
The wyvern roared at the bug which he should have quickly killed
But as it flailed and coughed up flames, Sting didn’t wait around
Sting attacked and it was dead before it hit the ground
Achievement: Natural Talent
Using only mana to pierce a strong wyvern’s hide
Your natural talent has left this old god mystified
I overheard some gods talking about the world ending
But I think that you’ll be fine, the way you’re ascending

Kingdom of Tyr (Original)
This fiction has been concluded as of the end of Book 1, the portion of the story posted here. There will be a complete rewrite as a separate fiction in the future to make the system more consistent and add more to the world while expanding on the events within this fiction. This rewrite will begin eventually, posted as a separate story. Colt, twelve, is walking home from school when he's approached by another boy dressed oddly, who asks him - theoretically - about living in another world. After asking some information about the theoretical other world, Colt says he'd probably prefer to live there, to get away from the problems he has on Earth. Once Colt confirms that, he finds himself in an abandoned city, the other boy revealing himself to be a god, who then offers to train Colt until he can stand on his own and live by himself. After a couple of months, the god sends Colt off for greater training, to learn to use both Aura and Mana, with his only instructions being to return every now and then to visit, and to make friends and have lots of fun. This story follows Colt, a boy named Tyler he meets in the new city, and their journey to growing stronger, having fun, and striving to beat each other. Note: this story is not intended to be professional-quality, and it does draw inspiration from many sources. That said, it is its own story, in its own world. It has never been and never will be edited. It will also have multiple PoV's, starting somewhere after Chapter 8.

The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past. Cover made by me, here's a link for the high-resolution picture, (Was a bit lazy to fully clean up the drawing lol) (And by the way, it might just spoil juuuuust a little lol)
