《La Puerta de Maltras eng.》Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Developed Body.
A silence that reassures me, only the occasional sound of drops of water falling can be heard. A presence in the pond in front of me ... A presence, becoming bigger ... Many small presences...
Too many!
I leave my concentration state in which I was, my breathing became agitated and my head starts to hurt again.
"Kuuuuhhh" (Aruh)
I must concentrate again.
...
I'm in the middle of a special training, Naku watches me from a distance in the middle of the darkness.
After I reached puberty at the 10 years of age, and when my body began to grow, so did my abilities. My height reached 1.89 meters and my muscles increased, as well as my physical strength, if before I had enough strength to lift large stones from the ground, now I could do it even if they were buried. Also, as far as my physical appearance is concerned, 'Not bad!’ 'is the only expression I can think without sounding conceited. I inherit my father's slightly curly hair and my face looks like one of a supermodel… Again, I’m not being conceited. However, not everything was good, the reason for this training is to correct one of the problems that arose after my puberty.
"Take a deep breath and start again, Aruh." (Naku)
"Yes." (Aruh)
Following Naku's orders, I took a deep breath and concentrated on the silence and darkness that surrounds me. Again, I feel tranquility.
Shortly after my body developed, my 'Extra-Perception' (as I named my ability to feel presences) became uncontrolled and I began to perceive even the presences of insects and other small animals around me.
Naku came to my aid and brought me to this cave to learn to keep my skill under control again.
It's been a week now, and I've made good progress, but I have yet to keep it under total control.

"..." (Naku)
Naku keeps absolute silence while taking care of me. Since the training began, I have not been able to continue my blacksmith study with Mr. Fas Nesel, I hope he is not angry at my absence. Fortuna must have reached the village again and she must be worried, so are my parents and friends.
But according to Naku, I can not accelerate this process. Apparently, this is the first time that it happens even with other Naga that have awakened extra-perception before me. That is why Naku guides me with this training since she has a connection with Nagur. The good thing about this ability of mine, is that being something unique and unprecedented like Naku is, I feel more connected to her.
...
"A swimming presence, will turn to my right in 2 seconds ... Three small presences ... Zero presences again..." (Aruh)
It's been a month since I've been doing Naku's special training; Finally, I regained control.
"The headaches are gone ... And I can control my ability again as before. The result was a success, Naku!" (Aruh)
"Congratulations, Aruh! It's a good thing the training worked, as it was unprecedented, I was so worried about you. Ah! Fortuna and the rest of the village, too." (Naku)
"I imagine it, I'll have to apologize for worrying them as well. Thank you, Naku." (Aruh)
"You do not have to thank me, that you're fine is enough for me ... But if you insist, I'd like a kiss." (Naku)
Naku closed her eyes and put her lips in a lovably and a little funny way. Seriously, lately I feel that her libido is waking up little by little.
My lips meet Naku's in a kiss, and she put her hands behind me and began to caress me. After a minute or two, our lips parted but I put them together again for a second kiss.

"Why was that one?" (Naku)
"To apologize for worrying you." (Aruh)
"So, are you also going to kiss Fortuna to apologize?" (Naku)
"Maybe." (Aruh)
"Ku, ku, ku ... As gallant as usual, Aruh!" (Naku)
For a moment imagine me kissing Fortune with my current appearance... Well, at Earth that would bring problems, serious problems. But even though I look as an adult, Fortuna is older than me... Which means I'm not doing something wrong ... Right?
"Aruh!" (Fortuna)
As soon as I came out of the cave, Fortuna was waiting for me and threw herself into my arms. It was not even one month since the last time she came... Her concern must have been rather big.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Fortuna." (Aruh)
"Yes, I was worried. Everyone told me that something had happened to you and that you would have to stay inside this cave... I even fought with Naku because she would not let me in!" (Fortuna)
"I see, I did something terrible..." (Aruh)
I got on my knees to look at Fortuna at the height of her eyes, which were full of tears, so I wiped them with my fingers.
"Forgive me, Fortuna. I'm already fine, but it must have been hard for you all this time... Thank you for being patient, and thank you for loving me so much." (Aruh)
More tears streamed down her flushed cheeks and this time she lunged at my chest.
"Okay, I forgive you... Naku and I reconciled immediately to tell you the truth." (Fortuna)
I hugged Fortuna and began to delicately caress her hair. When I saw Naku, she was looking at us with a little of envy.
"I also want to... Embrace Aruh and Fortuna." (Naku)
She must be really want to as she emitted a very strong aura of desire... But someone did not resist and hugged us.
"Guriiii!" (Arachne)
Ok, Arachne! How can I resist caressing the head of such a cute entity as you are?
"I am very happy for you, Miss Fortuna" (Blair)
I feel the presence of Blair, who was hidden behind some trees. She did not even bother to speak in a low voice, I could hear perfectly what she said. Besides Blair I can also feel the presence of my parents.
I know where you are, you know?

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
