《Nirvana》Increasing Proficiency
Advertisement
Emile took a few more hits from the alligator to make him aware of how the alligator formed the sphere. It made little sense. The water was dirty. It shouldn't be able to make such pure water from the dirty water.
It had to have a method of filtration to filtrate the earth. Since it created the sphere on the outside, it had to have a way to remove the dirt and grime.
Emile squinted his eyes to see the creation process of the water ball better.
Emile couldn't see anything. He needed to slow down the alligator's casting speed. He didn't have a clue as to how to slow down the alligator.
Emile recalled videos. He wanted to learn about creating videos in Nirvana. He didn't know if it was possible to record things in Nirvana.
Emile asked Lily about ways to record things in Nirvana.
"Is there a way to record things and slow them down," Emile asked.
"Record? Yeah, there is. Go to your settings, there should be a camera option. Click on it to take pictures or videos." Lily replied.
"I see it, thanks," Emile said.
"Sigh... do you think of me as a walking encyclopedia," Lily said.
"If I don't go to you, then who would I go to. So you're my walking encyclopedia." Emile said with a proud tone.
"Uh... yeah," Lily didn't know what to say. She didn't deny being his walking encyclopedia.
They stopped exchanging conversation and Emile turned back to being serious. He continued to learn about the water balls.
Emile waited for the alligator to summon some water balls. He recorded the process of the water balls forming.
The alligator cast water balls once again and aimed it at Emile. Emile continued to wait for the water balls to come towards him. He let the water balls hit him.

He stopped recording when all the water balls hit him or missed him.
Emile moved to a different angle before gauging the alligator once again. He waited until the water balls hit him. He did these set of steps a few times.
Whenever he was low on health, he would retreat and use a few bandages. He took 30 minutes to heal up to full.
Emile needed potions which restored health without waiting for health regeneration to kick in. The market didn't sell health potions or mana potions. He didn't have to worry about mana too much since he was more of a physical attacker.
After getting a few recordings Emile left the area with the alligators.
Emile climbed a tree. He sat on one branch of the three before checking out the recordings.
Emile slowed down the process of the alligator summoning the water ball. He watched the video multiples times.
Since the game was so advanced all the videos were of high quality.
When the alligator picks up the water for the first time it's full of dirt and grime. In a few moments, all the dirt and grime fall down leaving only the pure water.
Emile rewound his video. He studied the water ball, without blinking, to see how the dirt and grime fell. He noticed that the water ball was always rotating.
The rotation would push away all the non-pure water to the outside of the sphere causing it to fall down. Emile viewed the videos a few more times.
He discerned that the alligator would rotate the water ball as soon as he cast the spell. As the ball rose from the swamp grounds, the dirt and grime would fall down. When the ball reached a satisfactory height, the alligator would launch it.
Even when there was no ball of water, the water that rose from the swamp was rotating as they came together to form a complete cycle.

Emile understood that he couldn't do that yet. He wasn't capable enough to do that.
Emile watched multiple times to make sure if it was the correct way. He wanted to test it out.
He tried to rotate the water sphere. It was much harder than it looked.
When he tried to rotate the sphere, the ball broke apart. He wanted to rotate the sphere without it breaking apart. When the ball broke, it made his clothes wet which displeased Emile.
He created another water ball and rotated at the speed of a turtle's crawl. He rotated the sphere clockwise.
Even though the casting speed was horrendous, he had created a pure water ball.
When he finished rotating the sphere he looked at the system; the system rated the sphere as a 92%.
He received 30 water skills points from his demonstration.
Emile tried to create the water sphere at the same speed. He wanted to familiar with rotating the sphere. He didn't want to rush his learning.
He completed the spell a few more times before speeding up the process.
Instead of it taking one minute for the spell to be complete it only took 30 seconds. HE cut the time by half.
It was a big success for Emile. He continued to slow down the speed of the water sphere. His proficiency rating of the water sphere became 94%.
After around 2 hours of creating the spell multiple times, he created the spell in less than 3 seconds.
If he wanted to get faster, he would have to rotate the spell as the ball was forming. Right now he would wait for the sphere to finish forming which took 0.7 seconds.
He would use 2 seconds to clean out the water sphere.
Emile knew that he would only improve if he fought while using his spells. Fighting was the fastest way to grow stronger without using drugs.
Emile lowered his pain setting to 75%.
Emile noticed that he received more information from the pain they dealt him. He didn't want to leave the pain setting on 100% since the pain setting also was detrimental to him. It would cause him to blank out for a small moment.
In a battle against an expert, even the smallest mistake could cost a life.
Fighting against the alligator wasn't too challenging.
He shot out a few Yin-Yang Blasts which dealt lots of damage to the alligator. Emile hadn't checked out what the stats of the Yin-Yang Blast was.
Yin-Yang Blast
Usage:
The user shoots out both a fireball and water sphere in the shape of a double helix. The user deals 150% of the combined version of fireball and water sphere.
Cooldown: 1 minute
Active Skill
Original Skill
The skill did loads of damage. He could do over 300 damage with a Yin-Yang Blast.
He shot out a few fireballs.
The alligator died after a long time.
Emile went to check the loot it dropped. He frowned after looking through the loot.
The alligator dropped 0 scales. The alligator dropped its skin and tooth. Nothing else dropped.
"Thank you for your help," Emile said to the corpse of the alligator. If the alligator hadn't used so many water balls then he wouldn't have been able to improve his water sphere.
Yin-Yang Blast did more damage the stronger his fireball or water sphere became.
Emile killed about 10 more alligators and none of them dropped a single alligator scale.
Either the drops were abysmally low or he would have to kill a different alligator.
Emile felt tired. He gave a farewell to his friends before logging out of Nirvana.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Nowhere to Run
Nina is a young priestess that just started her journeys in the Highlands, in a faraway land. But everything falls apart when greater forces are scheming and unknown men are suddenly after her. She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.
