《Circle of Shards》Q&A 1
Advertisement
Author's note:
Well, the story is reaching whole new arc. The promised Questions and Answers are here. Not that many, but I got some interesting PMs. As I got questions only through RRL, this Q&A will be also exclusively posted here.
What Word is MC then?
There are some hints, but revealing it will come later. Every person, unless special case like almost uniformly water-souled Taistealaithe, has to realize his Word himself, as there may be special nuances associated with the deep meaning of specific words (like “hundred words for snow” situation)
Who made the Frankensteins?
One of the mages’ fraction that participated in the all-out war between city states. Basically, the mages-ruled world was composed of many city-states similar to medieval Italy. And each area had their own specialties and know-how. Some were necromancers, some technomages, animal-breeders, body enhancers, controllers, druids, some built magic-powered golems, while others built TES-style Dwemer-like soul-powered tech and so on. And if we add all sort of mixed skills, there were all sort of combinations. And of course, some city got mages that focused on controlling corpse dolls, which needed quite a lot of processing so that these could do more than just wander around and get stuck in narrow places. All the above led to continuous technological race, where cities constantly competed with each other openly and undercover (competitions, espionage, intrigues etc). An artifact like Beating Iceheart was of strategic importance, so when the global war finally broke out, quite a few forces went for that.
Who threw the spear?
Unknown, yet ^^
So, what was the world with pyramids? Xibalba?
Nah, Mayan Xibalba would be much more crowded, bloody and stuff, as it would be quite actively revitalized by constant studies of Mayan folklore and surviving religious groups that claim to be "traditional Mayan believers". It was an early “dreamland” created from the dream of an unknown powerful priest from early Mesoamerican culture.

Who were the mages?
Refugees of another magic civilization that left their old world. Went the way of developing magic instead of technology.
What is Beating Iceheart?
An artifact of unknown origin (OOPArt), which ended up in the magic civilization where mages first came from. And was taken with them when they changed worlds. Such things drift around countless worlds among endless piles of junk. Because different worlds may have differences in natural laws, replicating an item that by some chance keeps working according to completely different principles is usually impossible.
Why didn’t MC do , he got supermemory and insane processing speed?
Well, yes, most of his mental powers go towards that rather cool-headed patient attitude he got (or rather, I tried to convey it like that). He may remember thousands of book/movie/etc scenarios, but he still needs to adapt those to current situation = so sometimes “obvious” solutions may be difficult to see even for a “superhuman”.
Our Earth is the “First World” and central world and whatever? Why?
Insane creativity of humans is to blame. ALmost no fantasy describe elves/other races as very imaginative, so I designed a vast majority of worlds to be created by humans (yes, there are Middle-Earth, Westeros, Coruscant, a dozen versions of Hells etc somewhere around), with some of them having a time paradox of having history longer than the Earth itself (lets say hello to xianxia with worlds hundreds of billions years old).
You don’t reveal what Word is MC, but at least, what stage is his Word? According to chapter 28, stages are Word I never said that that grading of stages is correct. ^.^ It was just a conjecture by Victor and Eala.

But wait, no matter how I look at it, isn't this too much like an RPG?! *Am influenced by many light novels, and some stuff I read on this site... I especially stole a bit of stuff from "So What if it's an RPG?!" since I read that the most recently. Translations can be found on scrya's site. Akatsuki no Yona also big influence =w= *Cover art is not mine, credit goes to... idk where credit goes to cuz I found it off google after searching Ashe from LoL fanart :P

Kidnapped by the Alpha
This is back up! I never got around to editing it because I didn't have the time like I thought I would. Enjoy this and the sequel.Isabelle was jolted awake out of her nightmare quite suddenly. Dazed, she tried to look around but found that her head was held firmly to the pillow under her. Cloth covered her mouth and nose, a sickly sweet smell enveloping her senses. Her mind began getting hazy. Chloroform, her mind whispered almost silently. Her vision began tunneling, and she weakly looked up into a pair of icy blue eyes. She stared into those eyes as she was pulled deeply and forcefully into oblivion. Isabelle is a smart girl and not really the girly type unless going out. You would usually see her wearing sweats around the house or outside in her backyard on the beach since she lives on the ocean. So when she suddenly gets kidnapped one day, she wonders what she had ever done to deserve this. She hadn't done anything wrong, at least she didn't think she did. But she learns that there is something about her that is special and that she is not only human. Meet Jared Gray, the person that kidnapped Isabelle because of her being his mate. He's been waiting since he was 16 to find his mate and now he's 22, about to give up on ever finding his mate. But when he smells her in a mall one day, he follows her home and decides to take what's his. Isabelle's life will never be the same again. Will she be able to escape or will she fall in love with her hot and charming kidnapper that she wants nothing to do with? Or will she stay with him and eventually fall in love? --- THIS IS A DRAFT. And I was 15 when I first started writing it so there are many mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF SEXUAL AND MATURE CONTENTALSO, MANY MISTAKES! SOME THINGS I'VE WRITTEN I FORGOT TO PUT BACK IN THE STORY SO THIS NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY EDITED. Sequel is called Unwinding Fate
