《Sun Collector》Chapter #3 The Sun is Bright
Advertisement
I figured five is a good number to charge up to and see if I get any new skills. But when the number hit 5 nothing happened.
Apparently, my only ability was the power to get mana from the sun. But that wasn't entirely correct because it was lunchtime and I wasn't hungry.
I decided to test it by going to work without eating any food. Then I could see if I could really live off my own mana. Id never heard of anyone being able to consume mana before.
Anyways I went to work.
"Your late today," Said my boss.
"Sorry sir it won't happen again," I said.
Like I was retarded enough to say my family had been killed on a small island.
I walked to my normal station and started putting my fishing cages into the water. Everything passed surprisingly normally.
But the thing was even though the number on my arm ticked to zero, I never got hungry. Like I would kind of get hungry in the shade but as soon as the sunlight hit me I would be refreshed.
"Hey, boss can I have the day off I'm not feeling so well," I asked him as he came near my station.
"It's fine as long as your back tomorrow" he replied.
I nodded my head and walked back to the sandbar. Why would I work if alls I had to do to eat was sit in the sun? I thought to myself.
I headed to the library to record my newest findings into my journal. There was a stat appraisal thing at the library if I remember correctly.
It didn't take me long to get there.
After saying my greetings to the clerk and paying a small interest fee I walked immediately to the status apprisal stone.

It didn't shake or shine or do anything cool. It just revealed the user's status window too them. It was one of the island's greatest accomplishments.
Everything about my window looked normal the base stats were all the same. It was impossible to go over 10 without the use of ability so I had ten on everything.
The only interesting thing was a new mana stat at the bottom it read 0/infinity.
"Wow" I marveled to myself out loud. Id never heard of anyone having an infinity symbol in their status window before.
Below that read some abilities, three in total.
Sun Collector~Gather mana passively from the sun
Sun Sustence~Eat the mana that is gathered from the sun if not already full.
Sunspot~Release all stored up mana into the outside world
Normally people only got one ability with there to wish but I had gotten three. I couldn't tell if I was lucky or if this was just payment for a dumb set of abilities.
I knew the library had a balcony at the top of it. The best place to set off a sunspot I thought to myself with a snicker.
"The balcony is free to use to anyone right?" I asked the librarian while climbing up the stairs.
"Yes the balcony is open for public use,." he said
"cool"
I'm gonna go set off a sunspot with my mana. As soon as I got to the top I stared at my arm intently waiting for a one to appear. But a one never appeared I waited for at least an hour.
Until it dawned upon me my ability consumed more mana then was produced by sitting in the sun. The only way to cancel it is to eat food.
I went and bought a bagel and sat on the roof eating. After a short while, a one appeared on my arm.

With a thought, I activated sunspot. A loud bang went off in my hand and a flash of light blinded me. It was about as powerful as a firecracker that they would use at the parade.
The only thing was the light, for a brief second it felt like I was holding a mini sun in my hand and it looked like it too.
Luckily for me, I was the only one on the balcony. I had stared directly at the sun for a brief second. This is the dumbest ability set ever I thought to myself while crying my eyes out because of the searing pain.
At least I had grasped the full extent of my abilities I thought to myself. Or had I? Couldn't I infuse the mana I created into stuff after all mana was living.

Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times. If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently for free anyways.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.

Vanisher
Joshua Hall is an intelligent and promising college sophomore. But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything. This is a bit of an experimental project for me, as it isn't my norm in genre or topic. Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged. I am a civil and fair responder, don't be afraid to initiate a conversation. If you see this story posted anywhere outside of RoyalRoad or Inkitt, please let me know as those are the only sites I currently host on. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
