《Camiare: An Isekai》Chapter 2: Finally Some Progress
Advertisement
Four weeks have passed since I came into this world, and during this time I discovered something during my BTC (Baby Training Cycle). During my "meditation", which is my trying to cultivate my core if there is one, I discovered what I am pretty sure are chakra points, meridian points, etc. I hadn't memorized them when I was on Earth, but I had seen enough of the Hyuga Clan beat up people to know where the main ones were. During this four week period, I also began to get a good sense of where my internal mana was. To my chagrin, it was a lot worse than I thought it would be. I had expected it to be spread out over my body. Rather, it was in clumps, more like puddles really, randomly placed in my body. By concentrating hard, I could slowly stretch the "puddles" of mana out. And I mean it when I say slowly. My parents gave a somewhat nonchalant reaction to my surprise when seeing their baby laying there quiet. I think they were too relieved and tired to really think about it.
While I am on that topic, I would like to point out that unlike in isekai stories, I cannot not cry. In most isekai, the baby protagonist will be silent and train, though that part I am trying to do. I physically cannot not stop crying when a normal baby would unless I am meditating or releasing mana. I wonder why that is.
I was unsure how I should deal with this whole isekai thing. In some series the main character doesn't tell his family/loved ones, and this leads to internal struggles for some. In others, the main character does tell them and for the next couple of chapters the family learns to accept the truth, which leads to external struggles. Honestly, I think it will be easier if I don't tell anyone. But that's a problem I will have to deal with another time.

Two Years Later
I can now walk. I have never felt more accomplished in my life. It started at crawling, which I want to say I was good at automatically, but then I would be lying. I still haven't got access to any books as the study/library has a closed door, which is never left opened. I should mention that I myself have no idea how technologically advanced this world is except there is no electricity.
Now that I can walk I should have a better chance at getting into the study. In the meantime, I might as while recount what I learned about my family.
My Father, Arthur Armis, is a retired mage, or its equivalent. I heard him brag to my mom that he was a Tier 8 Xetralite, whatever that is. It seems that he is respected in the country/kingdom I am living in, as people I don't get to see are always visiting him time to time. My Mother, Beldria Armis, was a school nurse for the Camiare Gamic School in the capital. I have no idea what school that is. I also learned that I live in the village of Cree.
It was during one of these visits that my chance came. When my mom suddenly left the study/library(she was cleaning) to greet and chat with the guest in the kitchen, I waddled my way out of bed towards the door. I was greeted by 4 bookshelfs full of books as I fell on my face walking into the room. Reaching for the bottom shelf, I did one of the hardest things I have ever done before: I grabbed a book with my baby hands. Staring at the cover, I could make out the title: XETRAL THEORY AND FOUNDATION: BEGINNING OF A XETRALITE. I could read it! Opening the book I struggled to turn to the first page. On it read:

CHAPTER 1- XETRAL SUMMARY
By utilizing Xetral, one can infuse with rateh and produce gamic. Gamic comes in several forms, or menteles. There are six basic menteles of gamic which will be explained later on in Chapter 2. Xetral can be used for other things beside creating gamic. At around the age of 10, most children will unlock their first tier. By amassing Xetral around the midriff, one can unlock more tiers. The amount, quality, and level of gamic produced changes as one ascends to the next tier. There are ten tiers, the lowest being tier one all the way to tier ten, though it is only in legends that this tier is reached. This is because it gets harder exponentially to reach the next tier. At tier two, a young Xetralite will obtain a special deviant. This deviant power can be ranked in three categories: Strengthening, Mental, or Unique. A strengthening deviant will provide some sort of physical boost. This is the most common kind of deviant. Mental deviants have a wider range of possibilities, from mind strengthening to some sorts of divination. This type of deviant is rare. What is even rarer among Xetralites are Unique deviants. There are allegedly 1 of these in every ten thousand people. A current example when this book was released would be the Principle of Camiare Gamic School in the capital. He has the Unique deviant ability to control the gravity in a 5 feet radius around him.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.

The Rowan Fox, Tail 1: The Missing Children
Deep in the Maple Woods sits a mountain of old. Humans have claimed it and today a city called Redlog covers it from peak to foot. Meet Josei, one of many medicine makers living in the city of red roofs. Hers is the start of many tales, home to a very special fox. Like foxes often do, this one finds himself plenty of trouble. (Thought I would be gone forever did you? I'm back again! This time with a book that actually has an ending. I know because I've written it. I will be editing each chapter then releasing it here as they're done, probably once or twice a week. It's a shorter tale than what I've written before but that was the goal from the start. I really need to learn how to finish a story so this was a big accomplishment for me. I'll be writing The Rowan Fox in several parts instead, short but hopefully sweet.) (This story is a combination of some of my favorite things: folktales, foxes, ancient forests, and feel good slice of life. I hope you like it!)
