《How I got Possessed By A Barrel Of Porn (Paused)》Chapter 15 : Smoke And Mirrors
Advertisement
Gyll fell backwards onto his bed. Kaber decided to have an early break today since they finished the platform bridges,
The demon appeared at his side, swinging her feet back and forward, sitting on the barrel.
"So, how'd it go?" Asked Mi,
"Well, aside from the fact I'm exhausted, it was actually a pretty good idea," said Gyll matter of factly.
"So, as for our agreement?" Mi inquired.
"Well, it's not like I have much of a choice, so I guess we have a deal." the man said with a sigh.
"Good," Mi jumped off the barrel and opened it, "Here, take this one," Mi said handing Gyll a book, as he looked at it, the previously obscene cover turned to a thick, leather-bound book cover with the title engraved in gold.
"What is this?" Asked Gyll flipping through the book's pages.
"It's a book of magic," Mi replied.
"Magic, so I'll be able to fly, or something?" asked Gyll intrigued but confused.
"Not exactly..." said Mi.
"Magic is a simple part of every-day life, any living object has at least one magic node, inanimate objects can develop nodes, or can have nodes created in them, a Human has on average twenty-six magic nodes, the number of nodes can change slightly, depending on the person." Gyll read out loud.
"Magic is usually defined as one of eight types.
> Elemental, this includes fire and air, as well as mixed elements such as steam and ice.
> Spiritual, this is a type of magic which lets one communicate, interact and potentially command spirits, demons and ghosts.
> Demonic, this is a type of magic which lets you command hellish demons, this type of magic often relies on life sacrifices and can easily backfire.

> Arcane, this type of magic can create, duplicate and erase manufactured items, such as food, weapons and even gold.
> Divine, this type of magic is the most common, and potentially the strongest, it relies on the belief of the user rather than mana to alter reality.
> Fleashweaving, this refers to using magic to heal, shape or even in some cases damage flesh directly.
> Cognimancy, this refers to the use of magic to alter one's perception of reality, for example, blindness, feeling imaginary pain, illusions.
> Nanomancy, this lets one use magic to change the characteristics of the physical world around us, usually in a small zone.
It is commonplace that humans have between one and three magic nodes capable of storing mana and therefore be capable of casting magic.
In order to find out what type of magic affinity you have, simply channel your magic energy into a crystal ball, and observer its colour."
Gyll read this, slowly getting more excited as he read on. He turned to Mi who was already holding a small crystal ball, "Alright! here I go!" Gyll yells as he points his hand at the crystal ball.
The room was filled with silence.
"What the hell are you doing?" Mi asked staring at Gyll.
"Well...isn't this how it works, I direct my m-" Gyll explained
Mi interrupted his explanation "No, get ready for hours of meditation." Mi said as he patted the floor with her hand showing Gyll where to sit.

Metagame
Some people get a second chance, late in life, and jump on it. Other people are on their third before they turn twenty. One was given everything they wanted, and threw it away on principle. One earned their place, but could never afford to pay the price. One never failed, right up until it mattered. One encountered nothing but failure, instead helping others achieve success. One never believed themselves worthy. One is crushed by the past, afraid of what might repeat itself. And the last never had a goal to begin with. But while nobody cared and no one was watching, they each decided to carry on in their own ways, even when that made things worse- and they did, usually, get worse.

Anathema
The Prince used to dance — until he discovered the strings moving his legs. The Rebel used to hope — until reality slammed a door in her face. The Spy used to live for nothing but money — until he found himself a family. And the Slave craved freedom more than air — until a small hand reached to her for help. Eskela has known conflict for centuries. War had been engrained into the very soil of every one of the eight kingdoms, and blood has been smeared over history to paint a lie. When young prince Aldric, heir to the Aguki throne, learns his position is nothing but a farce, his world crumbles down around him. As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means. Conflict does not reside in Cinthra alone, though. Erden, newly hired spymaster for the crown prince of Promnir, is tasked with keeping an eye on the kingdom’s council. The job that was supposed to just be about money quickly spirals into a fierce loyalty, one that leads him to the front lines in order to desperately prevent another war from beginning. Azala, a slave bought by the royal family of Azmosir, finds her loyalty is not nearly as solidified as that of Erden’s. But while the prince she serves plots to steal that which does not belong to him and the queen she respects holds on to a lingering desire for revenge, Azala realizes that she must choose whom to save: herself or Azmosir's defenseless and young princess.
