《My Hermit Life》Chapter 13 ( Re-edit )

" What is this I hear about you wanting to spend one million years in a different dimension? Do you know how dangerous that is? And even poor Loretta is being forced to go inside with you. "
" I know mom, but to be fair to me it wasnt my idea for Loretta to join me. "
" Its fine Shie Master Aopara has already said that he is giving both of them plenty of warning papers so that any instace of even the slightest mental or physical instability and he will save them. "
" But I am still worried Han what if the papers dont work? "
" We both know they will work fine, how about this I can set up a two way projector formation so that we can watch them even at home. "
" What do you two think after all your daughter will be taking part in this training to? "
Shie then tured to Lorettas parents, Ali and Sham. Ali seemed like she had a slightly worried on her face while Shams skeleton face had no expression.
" We are fine with it. We both trust Elder Aopara and Han said he can set up the projector formation. "
" Fine since its all of you against me I will relent just this once, but I want a hug from you Solo so come here. "
Like that Shie cave her son a big ol' bear hug using her black scaled dragon arms.
' Man I love my mom in this world so much, its wierd though hmm I wonder if Angra Spentas messed with my emotions some how to make me not miss my past mom. Maybe its where I am a beast now and no longer human. Anyway may as well enjoy this hug cause I am sure going to miss it when I am in the other dimension. Mom has such soft scales its kind of odd how a near godly dragon has scales that are softer than clouds and more comfortable than a comforter in the dead of winter. '
" Thank you mom I love you and sorry for worrying you so much. "
' Sigh ' " Its fine son which mother doesnt worry about there child? Its 100x worse for Legendary Beasts, after all it is criminally difficult for us to have children. "
" Alright son you get back to training we want you as ready as possible before going into the other dimension. "
" Yes father, alright bye mom love you bye mother-in-law see ya father-in-law. "
" Bye son. "
" Bye Solo take care of Loretta. "
" Hmph bye. "
' Man I cant believe father in law still dislikes me so much, well whatever I just need to clear my head and make it easier to practice magic.'

Like that Solomon entered into the meditative state that helps to cast magic. If a God were to abserve Solomon they would feel the Mana flowing around in his body. Solomon did all the necessary steps to cast magic. Mana flowed through his Mana Veins, built up under his skin, and then he released.
" Haha nice I made a box on my first try. "
' Alright great start lets kick it up a notch and make an open lid box. '
Solomon once again entered a meditative state, this time slightly faster than the last. After that he started controlling his Mana to flow through his Mana Veins. Then he once again built it up under his skin and then he released.
' Boom ' ( Sfx )
' What the hell happened? I thought for sure I could do it. Well lets try again. '
Once again meditative state, flow, build up, release.
' Boom ' ( Sfx )
This time around Solomon didnt freak out in surprise and instead studied what happened, and why it happened. What happened is some residual Mana flows out from his veins right as he releases this Mana is slightly wild since it skipped the build up phase resulting in an explosion. Since he knew the problem Solomon knew how to fix it and thats exactly what he did. Solomon changed up his flow and control to make sure all Mana gets through the veins in time to be released.
' Alright state, flow, build up, release! '
" Yes! It worked. "
Pumped up by his success Solomon happily continued practice. He ended up spending fourteen hours in his room practicing Barrier Magic.
The end result of his practice amazed Solomon. He could make anything from a tiny music box to a two story high spiral stair case using Barrier Magic. He even perfected the flow part, so now Solomon only needed to get his control and release up to par. In order to increase his control Solomon decided to start trying inlaying on his Barriers. For releasing he was going to try replicating fire works with Barrier Magic.
With his new goal Solomon spent 7 hours doing more practice. Though he could do much better he still didnt reach the goal he set for himself. So Solomon could go to sleep happy, which he did.
The next morning
" Hey Solo how are you this morning? "
" Pretty good Loretta how about your self, did you sleep alright? "
" Yeah I slept pretty good although it would have been better if some body wasnt yelling a bunch at 1 in the morning. "
" Hehe sorry about that I was trying to add designs to my boxes that I made with Barrier Magic. "
" Oh thats a pretty complicated technique, have you already gotten the flow down well enough? "
Advertisement
" Yep I can make fake fruit, chairs, or even a house, although the last one for only a minute until my Mana runs out. "
" Damn youre pretty quick practicing Barrier Magic, adding a design shouldnt be to hard for you then. "
" The design isnt the hard part, the hard part is making the inlays a different element of Mana from the box itself. "
" ....... "
" What? "
" Search your DNA Memories for that technique I am going to go practice. "
" HEY what about my food ?! "
" Cook it your self. "
" But I dont know how to cook ........ ' Sigh ' whatever. "
According to his dna memories the reason Solomon couldnt reach his goal of multi-element inlaying is simply a matter of control. It is possible to do multi-elemental inlaying its just the amount of control truly is rediculous such that most LVL 50's couldnt do it. Solomon seeing how much of a challenge it is and that Loretta was feeling threatened decided to skip food a get right back to practice.
After deciding to skip breakfest Solomon went into hardcore training mode. He put himself into a constant meditative state for maximum focus. What Solomon didnt know is that such a state is called enlightenment and that many beings inlcuding Gods would be jealous that he could so easily self induce it.
With his state of enlightenment Solomon still spent 17 hours before he could perform multi-element inlaying. But Solomon didnt care he was just purely ecstatic.
" HAHAHA I did it hells yes. "
' I have to show off to Loretta and Master and the parents if they are still here. '
With that declaration Solomon sped out of his room in search of future victims.
After walking around for awhile Solomon finally found the adults in the smoking lounge area. Although none of them were smoking so he didnt get the point.
" Oh hey Solo what are you doing here shouldnt you be practicing? "
" I was, but I just achieved a new technique that I wanted to show mom and dad since they are here. "
" Oh alright son go ahead. "
P.O.V Change to Aopara
' I wonder what he did to be this excited, hmm, he probably achieved inlaying or something. Although that would be pretty good it is to be expected of him consiedring his talents and linege. Well either way I will make sure to congratualte him and give him a few tips. '
P.O.V Change to Solomon
' Hehe I cant wait to see there faces they wont know what hit them. '
" Go! "
Everybody was surprised and impressed by the beauty of the box. The boxes main body was like polished glass, but with a faint hint of rainbow as if light was always bouncing off of it from every angle. The inlay was a bloody red that has the effect of it constantly flowing like a never ending river of bloody tears. It would truly be hard to describe the beauty of the box in words, for even the most studied of scholars.
" Uummm is that dual element Barrier Magic? "
" Why yes it is mother-in-law. "
""""" How! """""
" It was fairly easy once I got the hang of releasing my Mana. It just took some practice is all. "
" Well damn son I was not expecting this you must have not only great affinity, but you have great imagination and comprehinsional abilities. Are you sure you didnt use Mana in your past life? "
" Not that I know of but I was a competent wood worker so that probably helped alot with the image. "
" Well Solomon I am genuinely impressed I was not expecting you to be able to do inlaying let alone this. "
" I dont know if I should be happy about the rare compliment form you father-in-law, or sad at your low expectations of me. "
" I would be happy son he rarely gives out compliments to Loretta, at least he doesnt to her face. Yall should see him in private always talking about her, if she wasnt his daughter I woul almost think that she was his first love or something. "
" Thank you mother-in-law I will remeber to cherish father-in-laws compliments then. Umm Master do you have any tips to perhaps help me. "
" Yep, you should continue to practice just inlaying for now, only once you can pull up inlaid stairs in a second or less should you continue practicing the double elemental barrier. Do you know why I am giving you this suggestion? "
" Umm, no Master I do not. "
" The reason is for your foundation, few beings progress as quickly as you which makes it to where you arent reaching your full potentialon of speed or fluidity. "
" Oh, thank you Master I will get back to practice right away. Bye mom bye dad love you both. Bye mother in law Bye father in law. "
"""" Bye Solo/ Bye Solomon good luck. """"
" Thanks guys. "
' Phew Master is right I should slow down and ground myself a little. I cant believe I didnt think of that considering how often it is mentioned in novels in my previous life. '
' Sigh ' " Time to get back to practice. "

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
