《Diary of Erica Kron》Day 21
Advertisement
I contacted the dungeon that said 'everything I know about the soul is yours, assuming you are able to learn it.' this morning. Apparently he had hoped that I would die as he wanted to test the range that his contracts had, now he has no idea what he wants me to do for the favor I owe him, but he will 'think on it'.
I hope he will have me make something for him, I'm really good at that.
I spent most of the morning answering his questions, most of which were about the soul, but some were seemingly inane. After that he said that he would contact me in a couple days after he finished crafting a lesson plan for me.
He was rather shocked about my knowledge of the soul, and seemed a bit grumpy when he found out how exactly I learned all that I currently know. He was considerably less grumpy when I explained to him the cost of it. Impending inevitable death is never fun, even for a master soul mage who supposedly has a really good shot at keeping their mind intact when they reincarnate.
I don't really have a good context for what I really know about the soul, but based on what I do know it has a lot to do with connections. To people especially. I am probably completely wrong, I see no visual evidence for that when looking at peoples' souls, and it makes sense that Fate focused on giving my information most relevant to my own survival.
So I spent the rest of my day working on my body. I mostly focused on things like hand eye coordination, physical strength, flexibility, and other similar things. I didn't do a lot with my flexibility as I worked on that quite a bit when refining my appearance.

Improving my physical strength was rather tough. I can't give myself big hulking muscles as that would ruin my carefully cultivated image, so I can only really refine the mechanism behind the muscles. Ultimately I decided on the same general structure as the Endiaum, a type of rather powerful angel that almost always has slender bodies despite their prodigious strength. My guess is that they were made by an Origin who wanted to see how far he can push physical strength, as that same structure appears in several other creatures in most of the trees of life all with telltale signs that tells me they were made by the same person.
I could definitely improve on the muscles as this design was created to work without nearly as much mana as I currently have. And I can always use Solar Energy to improve everything as well, which I am doing constantly anyway, albeit relatively slowly.
Hand eye coordination was really just a bunch of small things, most of which was just copied from the best thing I know of. Having an encyclopedic memory of the anatomy of the vast majority of creatures Origin ever created is something I probably should have thought of taking advantage of a couple days ago honestly. It would have made refining my appearance a lot easier.
I'm still freaking out over what happened yesterday, but not as much. There is nothing I can really do to stop my death at this point, and I'm already doing what I can to let myself survive it so I shouldn't worry so much. Just that thought alone is enough to help me calm down if I'm ever feeling paranoid.
Besides, it's not like I can really do anything with the soul beyond the basic exercises I am already doing. Well I could, but if I mess up then something horrible could very easily happen. If a spell I try to cast backfires and I get unlucky then I might end up with a disease in my soul, I do not want to find out what that is like. And even if I don't have a spell backfire, even if everything goes exactly how I wanted it to go I could still horribly maim someone's soul. Which I can't fix yet.

So yeah, I'll wait till the older dungeon can show me how to not mess up before I mess around with the stuff.
Other than that I spent my downtime with Azrezel. He cooked me dinner and baked me a small cake, it was a good cake. Dinner turned into cuddling, cuddling turned into something more intimate, which made me thankful that neither of us need to breathe, or sleep.
Anyway, Good Night Diary

Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe. Their task? Spread the System to the myriad races. This is his story, his Epic Tales. Volume 2 Syn Aegis and his cousin Amaya find themselves sent to the world of Prima on one mission and one mission alone. Conquer the world and add it the dukedom and Empires ever-growing resources. However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.

Thorns of Jade [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG Adventure]
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Solo Leveling meets Chainsaw Man in this fun new LitRPG Series To become the king of Kissen, Noah Hearts trains to become the strongest swordsman in the world. The only problem — he can’t use Aura at all! Everything changes when he’s left for dead in a forest on the Kissen Fields… In a world where horrific creatures known as “demons” terrorize mankind, those who wield the mysterious force known as “aura” are the only ones who can fight them. These fighters call themselves the “Wolves of Haven”, and strive to create a world where demons no longer roam their lands! Though Noah Hearts is an exceptional swordfighter for a young man, his total inability to use aura means he could never hope to defeat the demons! Despite this major setback, he still hopes to become the king of Kissen and create a better world for those in his country! As he walks home from his daily training, his world is shifted upside down when he sees a few familiar faces in his home… This is the first draft of what I want to be a 9 volume series. I'll be editing, rewriting, and releasing the volumes on Amazon once they're finished. I'll admit, I'm finishing chapters in sprints because I want to participate in the writathon (Apr. 2022) so I apologize if there are some issues with the prose. Point them out to me and I'll fix them! Anyway, I have no backlog, but I plan on uploading chapters as I finish them. I don't want to spend weeks re-editing and never publishing like I used to, so I'm just gonna post when it's done. Like I said, this story is my take on a mix between solo leveling and chainsaw man. Specifically, the MC is the only one that can consciously level up (sort of), and the plot is fast paced and emotional just like chainsaw man. There are plenty of other inspirations, like HxH, Jojo, JJK, Cradle, and even FF6, but the first two are the biggest. Basically, if you don't like Shounen stuff, this probably isn't the story for you. Regardless, I hope you all like the story!
