《Lord of the Supernatural》Chapter 2: His Abilities and World
Advertisement
Cheng Hao was really intrigue by the information and went over it again to see if he could get more information, but to no avail.
He looked around the surroundings and confirmed that he was inside of the temple, even though he had never been in it before.
The inside of the temple was not small, being 5-meter-high, 20 meters long and with a width 10 meter. The wall of the entire temple was made of rock that where uneven, making the place look chaotic and undignified.
Inside of the temple, there was only one window and that window was behind a statue that was sitting upon a throne made of rooks. Calling it a statue may not even be appropriate as the statue was not completed, it was more like a natural rock that just happened to be in the shape of a person.
The front of the temple was a wide opened area that should have been the door but was left unfinished or purposely left that way. It seems to be that way as to allow lots of worshiper to come inside at once.
After looking at the surrounding and getting a feel for it, he immediately put his attention to something else, his abilities. As soon as he got the information from the temple, he also receives five abilities.
These abilities are powers the temple received after Origin Temple spilt into seven parts, that’s to say that the other six temples also had abilities as well, before they got destroyed that is.
The first ability he has, he thinks it’s the best, even though all the temple has this one. The ability is Telepathy. He would be able to read minds and send his thoughts to anyone if they are in an area of 1 mile from him (temple).
The reason he thinks this ability is the best is because he would be able to pass of as a god if someone come to pray here, if they know that a god reside here, they would not dare to destroy the temple, if they found it. Of course, if said god doesn’t benefit but hinder them, they are bound to be destroyed.

As for why he thinks the temple might be destroyed? That’s because it would be weird if it wasn’t, considering who owns the world now. Humans could be considered a god from a point of view, a destruction god that is.
The second ability is the main reason for the temple’s survival, Camouflage. The temple was able to use this ability to hide itself by blending in with its surrounding environment that no one could find it. If one doesn’t come within 20 meters of the temple, its impossible to find it, but it’s a pity that this ability was finally seen through as he was here in the end.
The third ability is kind of useless to him as it has no allure to him at all, the ability is Ability Steal. With this ability he would be able to steal the powers of other people if they have weaker mentally/soul than him or if he defeats the individual.
Since he’s bound to the temple, he can’t leave 1 mile from the temple or he would be deflected by an invisible barrier. Even if he could, where would he get these abilities from? The gods and dinosaurs have long died out, so it’s impossible to steal from them. Esper’s? Those are only fantasy of people who have too much free time on hand.
As for the fourth ability, Reincarnation? Its also useless as he is immortal if the temple lives. That’s to say, even if he dies, he would reborn immediately. Although it doesn’t have much use to him, if he uses it on someone, he could reincarnate them into anything, if they are in a mile radius of the temple.
The last ability is the second best on his list of abilities, Lend. With this ability he would be able to give people abilities as well as taken them back as he’s only lending it. When he saw this ability, he wonders if the gods in myth also use this ability, as its mention lots of times that gods have their own companions.

After looking at the abilities, Hao was disappointed as he only got these few abilities as he knows that the other temples had at least eight to ten of them. He soon shook his head as he knows that the abilities he has are few because they are too powerful, and they could develop to become more powerful in the future.
For example, the reincarnation ability that he has should be the blend of life and death coming together to create reincarnation, that’s to say he could develop a new ability from the reincarnation ability if he explored it.
“Now what to do?” there is not much to do as he’s dead and is only a spirt that floats around the temple. He can’t go home (nor does he plan to) as he doesn’t really have one. He had also scanned the area around the temple but found no one around, well there were some tigers and lions.
The ability to scan the area around him is an ability that only available to him, it can’t be lend to anyone else either, so it can’t really be call ability. He calls it God Vision, as nothing can hide from him in a radius of a mile of the temple.
“Maybe I should look at the world inside of the temple?” Well he knows that there was a world inside of the Origin Temple that was easily thousands of times bigger than earth, but what about his temple? Does he also have a world?
Brimming in anticipation, he flew towards the statue and disappeared inside of it.
He soon appeared in an unfamiliar place that took his nonexistent breath away. Not far away from him, he saw a towering black globe that he assumed to be his world. The world was completely different from the world that he was used to by being desolate black.
Curiosity got the better of him as he flew into the globe and shocked at how big it was. Before, even though it was big, he had assumed that it was because he was to far away from it but seeing it from the inside he could tell that the world was at least twice the size of earth.
As he looked at the planet, he notices that although its bigger than earth, its lacking life as there is only lifelessness visible. There is only towering mountains, barren plains, rumbling rivers and oceans but still no life.
He knew the reason for this was because the temple didn’t have any owner before him and couldn’t actively develop the world by itself, even the Origin Temple couldn’t do it. In the end, the temples are only tools to use.
Although he could develop the world, he can’t do it currently as he can’t affect the material world as he is a spirt. If he could, he would be able to take plant and animals from earth to this world to let it develop and became more inhabited.
As he looks at the world, he made a silent promise in his heart to make this world a world that he had always dreamt of. As he looked at his world he became bored as he had nothing to do.
“Maybe I should try may abilities as I don’t have anything to do.” He can’t use Telepathy as he needs a target. He can’t use Camouflage either as no one could see him anyway. He can’t use Ability Steal as he has no ability to steal. That leaves Reincarnation and Lend.
“Reincarnation it is.” As soon as he made his choice, he shouted reincarnation in his head, a black vortex soon appeared in front of him, it sucked him in and he disappeared.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
