《Sirius: Evolution of A Star》Chapter 0005- Unification Arc#2: Skill Regression
Advertisement
His hands got destroyed numerous times. But he remade them and continued throwing the stones.
To enhance his control, he also tested other things like juggling with the rocks.
Gradually he improved.
[Power increased by 2]
[Dexterity increased by power 2]
[Grip increased by 2]
[Vessel Control Leveled Up]
Resting on the ground, spreading his arm wide, “All that grinding for just 2 points?” he added, “This doesn’t feel fair at all,”
[Status Will Naturally Increase on Leveling Up]
[You can also use your skill points]
“I guessed that much,” he pointed.
When Sirius first started grinding, it was during mid-afternoon. The planet’s day and nighttime were like Earth’s.
Seven hours passed. The Light was getting dim, and the sun was about to set.
“Now, I cannot even see the tree, and it’s getting hard collecting the stones,” Sirius himself was emitting little Light, but it was not enough.
His light coverage was around 2 meters, so he decided to instead begin cutting the plants. This time, with his increased Dexterity, he held the plants gently using his stone hands.
He assembled around 100 stems and began planting them on a plane field. But his hands were made up of smooth stones, which made digging difficult.
He recalled seeing big and solid rocks in the forest. After searching for a while, he found them and replaced the smooth stones with rough stones. He rubbed his fingers with hard stones for a while to give them a sharp edge.
Then after he started digging and planting the stems.
“Finally, all done!” he proclaimed in relief.
[Some flowers are rising]
“Eh! So soon”, he cried in surprise.
[The planet is enriched with vitality and magic]
[They serve as a natural fertilizer for the plants]
[But they will need sunlight to fully mature]
“Humm, sunlight, could my rays act as an alternative for sunlight?”
[Yes, they could, but for that, you would have to cover the entire planted area with Light]
“Previously, during the formation of the planet, I constantly absorbed heat, and I can feel much of that energy remaining within me,” He continued, “What if I release the stored energy in the form of light.”
[Your skill absorbs heat and stores it in the form of pure energy or magic]

[The law of thermodynamics deals with the conversion of one energy in the form of other]
[You still do not know how to convert heat energy into light energy]
[if you release the pure energy accumulated within you, it will get released in the form of heat, turning the planet into wasteland once again]
“So, I require first to master it. But how do I do that of there is always a risk of the planet getting wreaked,”, He asked.
[Your is a unique skill]
[You need to have the skill go through Skill Regression]
“Oh, I see dividing it into further small skills, and once I learn them, recombining them to gain the initial skill.”, he thought. He added, “Usually, in games, to combine two skills, you need points, but here I am separating the skill, so will some points be gifted to me?”
[No]
“What a disappointment!” he added, “Begin Skill Regression.”
[Starting Skill Regression]
New Skill: [Flash Level. 1] Obtained
New Skill: [Heat Drain Level. 1] Obtained
New Skill: [Heat Compression Level. 1] Obtained
“Humm, three skills, can you explain their function?”
[Flash: Converts Pure Energy into Light Energy and emits bright rays to blind an opponent. Also carries some radiation]
[Heat Drain: Absorbs the heat of the objects the user touch]
[Heat Compression: As its name suggests, it compresses heat]
[I granted the most suitable skills]
“Wow, you can really do anything, can’t you.” he praised
[Of course]
“I was always curious, but how much information about this world do you hold within you?”
[I know everything that is registered within the system from ordinary to the extinct beast, elves to humans, everything and everyone]
[But new species get born every day, and there are species with little know information about them]
[So, I am not all knowing]
“Can you identify the levels and race of monsters?”
[Yes]
[But the higher your level, the less the information I am allowed to give]
“I see, but I need not worry about such things since I am still level 1. Besides, I have lived for long my knowledge about the world might not be any less than yours,” he exclaimed.
After a while, he tried his new gained skill

Little rays came out of him that covered around an area of 15 meters. He kept trying. After a while, he shone brightly with whitish-blue rays that covered the entire planted land.
He was in the middle of the field, shining like a miniature sun.
The area of the framed land was around 5000 square meters.
Soon, the plants grew.
But maintaining the skill was difficult, like how tightening a fist is easy but holding it for hours is difficult. He was feeling the same regularly using
But he did not stop
[Flash Leveled Up]
Morning at arrived, the sun rose, the planet was bright again,
[Flash Leveled Up]
“Phew, finally, the skill also rose by two levels,” he cried, filled with joy.
“But don’t the flowers look different,”
The original flowers from which he had taken the stems were red blossoming flowers with thorny branches and green vines. The flowers were unlike the regular flowers on Earth. Here they grew as large as 1 meter.
But the flowers that grew under Sirius warmth and Light changed their form and shape. The petals were blue and scarlet. They blossomed like a lotus while holding their face high.
[The plants also seem to have mutated under your Light]
[They have also gained a skill]
“Skill?” Sirius looked at the flowers facing towards the sun; their petals shone brightly. Another inner set bloomed from the outset of petals and released a white orb towards the sky.
Over 100 flowers bloomed under the sunlight. The white orbs flew towards the sky; drifting within the atmosphere, guided by the wind, the spheres fell on a far land. The fallen orb acted as a seed for another plant to grow.
The energy plants absorbed from the sunlight formed the orbs and converted Light into magic.
“Whoaa!” he exclaimed in surprise.
[The plants will grow from their own now]
[Each day, your area will Expand by about 100 sq Meters]
[they have also granted you experience points]

[You have been Granted 2 EXP]
“Just 2, I see, guess my domain is still not fully made,” he thought further, “The Area will increase on their own, so, now better so focus on the number of Species.”
In front of him, a flutter of butterflies arrived and hovered over the flowers.
Grubs, Beetles, Bees, grasshoppers also arrived soon.
The butterflies flew with colorful, iridescent scales in overlapping rows.
Puzzled by the situation, he asked, “Wow! What attracted them here?”
[It was the scent of the flowers]
[You lack the sense of smell, so you did not realize, but the flowers emitted a seductive smell that attracts insects and living beings]
“Oh, yes, I did not consider that. If that’s the case, once the flower field grows large enough, it should also attract more living beings.”
[You have been Granted 1 EXP]
“Eh, one exp, does that mean those insects are considered under me?”
[The insects have found the environment suitable and migrated here for a while]
[They now depend on the resources you created]
[It’s like an indirect submission]
“I see so, even things like that count.”, he added, “You said there are subspecies present in this area; are they the friendly type, or do I need to tame them?”
[Some might need slight handling]
“I see.”
“Better be prepared,” he thought.
Thinking back, the insects had flashed in front of him. He had no sense of sound, so he could not detect them coming. If a monster attacked him from behind, he would be in trouble.
He wanted to avoid that, so he asked, “Is there a way for me to listen to the sound or at least detect vibrations?”
[Yes]
[You can get a hearing skill with skill points]
“Eh! But you said I could only buy the skills I already had when I was a star using skill points, and I remembered not being able to hear when I was a star.”
[Light does not need a medium to travel, but the sound does]
[You traveled in space where there was no medium for sound to travel through]
[Hence you could not listen]
“Oh, I see.”

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
