《Harmony: An Assassins Tale》Chapter 25: Endless Power
Advertisement
"It is hard" I thought, as I tried to use my Mind Emifer (Magic/ME) to recreate the floor as a ceiling. Whenever I tried to force my ME, I couldn't help myself but activate Yagrik, and then once I activated it, I was able to create it. She then looked at me, destroyed it, and then said, "Try again." and it continued like this for a few months. "By the way, I didn't catch your name, can you tell me what it is?" and she laughed. "No, not now, atleast, I'll tell you later though, so don't worry, Johnny, just focus on recreating it. Let me give you a hint. You have a deep storage of ME inside you, yet you haven't been able to tap into it. So far, you have only been able to use the same ME as you do when you use Yagrik. As a result, alone, it is weak as hell. So, try to tap into that power, alone, else there would be no purpose. Once you manage to tap into that power, you will become much, much stronger, and you will be able to do........... that." as she created the entire floor, with a snap, and destroyed it with another snap, just like Hazen, LesLout, Trinity, and Diablo. I still need to learn alot, as I'm still very naive.
It took alot of time, but I was able to manage to start tapping into the power, as if the outlet is at the very top of the tank, yet I need mine at the bottom. I was able to create the floor, but nothing else. "You see, ME isn't anything special at all, it is simply the deconstruction and reconstruction of materials in an atomic level, much more advanced than Alchemy. With it, you can change 5 mol of Air into anything else, granted it's value is the same. ME kind of works like a value system. Suppose diamonds, which are a rare mineral, has a value of 1000, and suppose a gram of C6H12O6 (Glucose) has a value of 1, so, with enough stored power, you can change a gram of diamond into a kilogram of glucose, now this isn't exact values, but to find its value is simple. We use a mineral that has an exact value of 1, like H2O , and with that, we try and change it into anything else. So, lets say we use a chunk of Yagrik (lets say 1g) and try to manipulate it into water, and it comes out to be 2kg of water, than the value of Yagrik with be 2000, but, this is when we use ME, because SE is a totally different ranking system. With this, I hope it would be much easier for you to understand how ME works, because, your 'outlet' is what supplies the energy. Essentially the amount of energy you have tapped into is a GJ, in ME terms, else in real life, it is not that much."

With this knowledge, I understood how it works even better. I now understood that it worked kind of with the principle of alchemy, but without circles and stuff. She also told me that for beginners, a ring made of the work of a warlocks ME and SE, that helps channel the energy system in your body, also known as Mei (Pronunced May). All people have a system of Mei , interlinked with the other systems, but it is much more complex, and there is also a seperate system for SE, but it is mainly located around the Heart, and Mei , Brain. Understanding these systems can allow you to manipulate where you want to use said thing and how, and also in a way, stop others from using it. Suppose I understood every part (which I do not) than I can call out a portion of Yagrik, at a certain place, kind of like its protective quality, which works unconsciously/instinct, but this time, I would be able to control it at will, meaning I can stop it from protecting me, if I wish to do so.
I then continued training, trying to create the next floor, and after a year of trying, I was able to manage to make a perfect replica. "Nope, it's not perfect, the crops on this floor is 5 minutes younger than the one below, yet grows faster, AGAIN! " and she destroyed it. My god, this was hard, because I had to first take into account the current state of the plants. It took me some time , but now I was able to create a perfect replica, and this time, an actual perfect replica. "Ahh, well done, I really supposed it would take minimum 3 years, at this current rate, we would have 5 more years to spare, but, if you continue to grow at this speed. Now, on to phase two. I want you to destroy it completely, ie leave no trace, and than with the energy that has been just dispersed, create a battery, or directly put it into your Mei channels, to fill it back from the amount you exhausted from creating it, however, let me tell you, creating and destroying kind of works like the buy-sell system in games. Buy something for 4 yen, sell it for 3. Similarly, it tooks more Mei to create something, than the amount recieved after destroying it, because, you have to change the things into what you want, with the help of Mei, whereas in destroying, you simply destroy it, and absorb its Mei."
This was getting very complicated, and she seemed to laugh whenever I made a mistake. Nonetheless, she was a great teacher, and helped me with the problems I faced, but still, I was worried about why she was helping me, or who she exactly was. Anyhows, I was able to destroy portions of it, not the whole. Destroying it seemed much more simpler, but it wasn't like that at all. I was confused at first, that what do I convert it into. A liquid? A gas? What, what,what? I decided to change it into air, so when I did , it got destroyed, yet I wasn't able to take in any Mei, heck, there was none to begin with. She started laughing like a maniac. "My god, you are really dumb, use your head, would you? I thought you were a genius." and then I understood.

When she continued to create or destroy it, I felt being sucked when it was created, yet, I felt nothing when it was destroyed, however when I destroyed it, I was repulsed, ie more air pressure. So, she converted the matter directly into Mei, which seemed totally impossible to me. First off, how would that make sense? Mei isn't a physical matter, it is simpl...y......some....thing..........things......are.....made......from. I really felt like an idiot after that. Mei is an energy that is inside of every living thing, and is used mainly for the purpose of ME, and since ME is something that everything has, animate or inanimate(they can't use it) , then that means it would have Mei in it, no matter how small. So, I deduced she simply destroyed the rest of the matter by letting the Mei absorb it, and then, she would absorb the rest.
"Finally, you get it, my god." She then watched eagerly, hoping I would actually do something, like, actually destroy it. I then thought about converting it into ME, and with the help of my thoughts, I was able to do so, without accidently calling out Yagrik, or making it into a different matter. Then, the tricky part, was absorbing it. I didn't know exactly how to absorb Mei, but I thought about it for a while. How would you absorb energy? Obviously, by conducting it, but how would you conduct Mei? The answer was obvious, Animate objects are the conductor. Since we allow Mei to flow within us, we can also let it flow onto us, into us, out of us, and all the other things. As so, I was able to find out how to absorb Mei, by using thought, and by letting it come in, kind of like guard cells. She then clapped. "Wow, well done. Quicker then I expected. Thought this was going to take about a year, but you took only half a year. Now, your next thing to do is to sharpen your mind. I'm going to give you puzzles, and ask you questions about ME and SE, and I want you to answer them, without using ME or your SE, ie no practically, you have to learn how to deduce and use your knowledge to understand. If you are to fail a single question, I would throw a needle at your points where your Mei flows the most, which is dangerous to health, and, to make it worse, I would sharpen your pain receptors by 10 times, so a pinch, would feel like someone cut all your limbs, now, are you ready?" she said, going back into yandere mode, as if she wanted to inflict pain on me.
It didn't seem that difficult , so I decided to finish it pretty quickly. "Alright, there are 25 questions, answer each question correctly, and you can go to phase 4. You can do this every month. So, in short, if you were to make a mistake, you would have to wait another month before taking it again. I will supply you with books, of the things you have gotten wrong, so that you would have a detailed explanation." and I waited for the questions.
"Question 1: What are the 6 types of races found so far, how many universes were discovered, and name a basic trait about each race (there abilities)." This was to easy. "the 6 types of races are Humans,Reapers,Demons,Dragons,Angels, and... ehm... Flugel? 5 universes have been discovered so far. Humans are known as the only ones to posses the ability to use SE, Reapers are known for there immortality, Dragons are known for there brute strength, Demons for there bloodthirsty-ness, Angels for there intellect, and Flugel for there. ehmm, ummmmmmm, bonds with nature?" and she showed a 'Ima execute you with ma hand' sign and threw a needle at my arm. The pain was intense, I couldn't feel anything. "Wrong,wrong,and wrong. First off, its pronunced Flug ree, not Flug el. Then , there have been 5 FULLY discovered, the others are still partially discovered, and for traits you only said right for Humans and Reapers, rest all wrong. Now, go back to your home and study, I'll be a free woman because you failed the first question. Hahahahaha!" and she vanished. Now, I suppose I have a month to wait, to find the answers again, but now, I knew the traits and all." Before leaving she told me one thing.
"Listen to me Johnny. If you mastered all 3 of these phases, you will have unlimited power. You will be able to create anything at will, destroy anything at will, convert it into anything at will, and will have knowledge over everything known to us , as of the moment. With these three things mastered, completely, 100%, your power would exceed the Lord's themselves, but thats only if it's fully mastered, which so far, has only been done by God, who is, for the past trilliions of years, have remained dormant, but is said to wake up, once His fated enemy has came to him, ready to fight."
With this all in my head, I started to prepare myself for what is to come, and I knew I had to use my big brain to become stronger than ever.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

A mean Demon Queen Kidnapped me!

The price tag wasn't that high, this was definitively a good buy! I mean... What could go wrong... Even if the game turns out to be bad, it's not like a monster will come out of the screen and kidnap him, right?

Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
