2 months have passed
From what I learned so far, the language is a bit difficult. It is similar to Latin in terms of pronunciation but need to use a character such as Chinese or Japanese in writing. When I asked him about the name of the world, Eliah said that the official name is in accordance of the kingdom’s choice it's Ljus but if I will ask people who live outside the border of the capital then I will hear different answers.
There are 3 great continents in this world, the continent of Refu, Eside and Hir. The continents are separated by ocean but some parts of the continents are still interconnected by land according to Eliah’s late master. Currently we are located in the continent of Refu, the capital of human, Kingdom of North of Refu is located several kilometers away from we are located right now.
Eliah said, it will take one month to reach the capital city. The current emperor’s name is Lajar Refu is a 58 year old guy. The emperor has 3 legal wives. According to him, an emperor or an aristocrat can have a maximum of 3 wives or husband as long as that aristocrat can provide the basic necessity.
In terms of sex equality and title, I woman can have a title given by him by the emperor but all her children can’t inherit it after she died. If you are a man, you can inherit it from your father or the title can be handed by the emperor. In terms of education, only the nobility can avail it, according to the emperor, serf or servant only live to serve their master and education is no use for the slaves.
In terms of slavery, it is really brutal. Some of them were forcibly remove from their homes. He said those aristocrats who have children with lower abilities; they will forcibly let their children mate with the selected slave or serf who has the highest abilities. The selection of mate is highly recommended method use by the church. Slavery is also highly approved by the church. Tons of slaves are sometimes heard maltreated inside the church premises.

By mating to a superior person with higher abilities with other people with higher abilities they will produce an excellent quality of children. It is more like selective breeding.
There are several races living in this world:
1. Human
2. Elven
3. Dwarves
4. Demon kin
5. Lupine
6. Humanoids
7. Felines
Different races have different beliefs and values and this is the reason of war. Races consist the highest percentage in their respective continents. The Ljus have several kingdoms ruled by the 7 major races.
1. Human – - Kingdom of the North of Refu, Kingdom of South Refu and Middle kingdom
2. Elven - kingdom of west of Eside
3. Dwarves- Kingdom of west of Eside
4. Demon kin – Kingdom of the east of Eside
5. Lupine – Kingdom of the east of Eside
6. Humanoids – Mountainous kingdom of Hir ( north)
7. Felines – Aquarian kingdom of Hir (south)
When I asked him where he learned to read and write, Eliah responded that he was taught by his master.
When it comes to class, almost all people are born with at least one nature affinity. There are three classes identified in accordance to the church: Dewin similar to mages, Igorha similar to warriors and Umtoli similar to range attacker or dual type.
There are several nature elemental affinities. Each affinity has a corresponding percentage based on their offensive magic and defensive magic. The nature elements are also ranked 1-10 based on their support abilities, 1 as lowest and 10 as the highest. They also rank by 1-5 in terms of average casting time, difficulty of the spell, 1 as very fast or easy and 5 as slow and very difficult. According to the old guy this information came from the church who meticulously researched this kind of stuff.
Offensive Defensive Support Cast time Difficulty
1. Fire(red) 90% 10% 1 5 4
2. Wind(green) 50% 50% 4 3 2

3. Water(blue) 30% 70% 6 2 2
4. Lightning(yellow) 80% 20% 3 4 4
5. Ground(brown) 20% 80% 4 3 3
6. Wood(dark green) 15% 85% 9 3 3
7. Metal(grey) 50% 50% 2 4 2
8. Dark(black) 65% 35% 3 5 3
9. Light(white) 40% 60% 8 3 5
10. Sound(orange) 15% 85% 10 1 4
I was in the middle of the tub naked. I dropped a single drop of my blood in the middle of the wooden circular tub with green like solution. The old man placed one clear crystal in the tub. The entire solution was absorbed by the crystal.
After a few minutes the crystal float in the mid air then it shatter, the particles swirl around me as if every particles is absorbing some kind of energy that is radiating within me. After another minutes the crystal shine again and they formed three lines with three different colors. Each particle connects one another. One particle is worth 10 percent.
Blue – 15 particles connected - 150% affinity
White – 10 particles connected – 100% affinity
Dark Green – 6 particles connected – 100% affinity
"I can’t believe it! You have three affinities!," The old man was ecstatic.
"It is...but all your affinities are defensive...,"Silva explained.
"Yeah....but still rare to have three affinities...,"Revon smiled.
"What do you mean by that result?." I asked the old guy.
"The higher the affinity you have the lesser your energy expenditures and better control. If you don’t have any affinity of that element then you can’t use any type of spell related to that elements. Some scholar suggests that you can use other elements that is not align to your affinity in exchange of your vitality, life force or your entire energy store inside your vessels.
"I rather stick to my affinity...," I calmly said it.
"Okay! Let see which class are you close with!," Eliah is grinning.
"What should I do?," I tilt my head.
"Just touch at least one particle then it will change its colour. It is also colour coding, and it will connect similar to the elemental affinity." the old man pour some liquid on the tub.
Dewin- blue
Igorha – red
Umtoli – green
I touched the particle in the mid air and the colour change. It forms two horizontal lines with several particles connected.
Dewin- blue 10 particles connected 100%
Igorha – red 10 particles connected 100%
"What is the meaning of this result," I ask calmly.
"These results suggest that you have 100 percent to be able to use its full potential and several skills that you will learned in the future in Igorha and 100 percent or times faster you will learned from Dewin class, " Eliah smile and continue to explained, " You need to understand that although you are unique because of the two class, your growth will hasten for the first rank but will slowly decline once you reach the third rank. Some people, like my son he is an Igorha but the percentage of his class affinity is 300 percent. Although when it comes to power you will be losing to just single class affinity but when it comes to versatility and survivality you are top. Even thought your growth will be slow after the third rank, I think you will find a way to hasten it during your travel in the future.
"Thank you!," I smiled.
"Since, you already know you affinity you need to nurture it. I can only give you the general idea of the process since I am not an expert on it. Let us take a break for now...," Eliah smiled.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here.

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.
