《Library Magic》Chapter six: Growing up - Part 3

Year 7
Today was the day I was taught how to wield weapons. It seems this world has another type of magic, well, it is questionable if it's actually [Magic], as it has the same mechanics as my [Powers]. It only absorbs mana inside the body. Let's get back on topic. Weapon magic, as the name implies; it is magic that imbues mana onto the weapon. It also imbues mana on what kind of attack you make; such an attack is called a [Technique], an example is my father's 【Black Lions Roar】. It is an original [Technique] that my father developed and is teaching to me currently. 【Black Lions Roar】 is a move that emits sound from whatever you are currently wielding, for my father's weapon, a long scythe, a visible vibration is emitted towards the direction you swing and whatever it hits will be liquefied in an instant.
Currently, I am deep underwater. It is a place that my father created his magic. The magic is called 【Dominion: Deep Abyss】. It is a high leveled dark magic, which only the best of the best in the dark element can use. 【Dominion】 is an illusion type of magic, it can send enemies into a virtual space created inside of the mind of the user and whatever type of place you thought of when you first used the magic will be created, a person can only have one domain their whole life. The weakness of this magic is, whatever happens to the body inside the domain will happen in the real world, and when you cast this spell, the user's real body will be in a passive state, vulnerable to outside influence.
I am now in this domain, training on how to use 【Black Lions Roar】. This is exactly how my father learned it. With the help of his dominion, he developed the technique. Training the 【Black Lions Roar】 consist of resisting the pressure, which is increasing the deeper I dive. I also need to clear my thoughts, which I find difficult, as I need to control my mana in my body to resist the pressure. I'm also wondering why I need to clear my thoughts to begin with, I don't even understand the correlation. Well, it's not the time to be complaining, because I just remembered that I need to clear my mind.

Year 10
I am now 10 years of age. I had already mastered and improved the 【Black Lions Roar】 to the highest degree in a short 1 year of time. My dad said that when he was training the 【Black Lions Roar】 it took him almost 2 years and another 5 years to master it. My father had a pitiful face when he said it that time. I also experimented on my Storage Ring. It can now store things that are doubled the size of a sword and can store about 300 swords. It's a pretty good improvement, especially in the quantities that I can store. I am now currently in the process of mastering 【Dominion】too. My domain is called 【Dominion: White City】. It is an abandoned city. When I said city, I don't mean city like in this world, it is a city like in my world, it has tall skyscrapers and highways but there are no cars or people in it. When I sent my father there, he was in awe at my creativeness as he said that, a domain is hard to create the first time the user use 【Dominion】. That was why his dominion consists only of water and darkness. It was good that he didn't ask on how I imagined such things but based on my father's character, which is an airhead, he most likely didn't find it weird.
I was in my own domain fighting 20 minotaurs. Minotaurs are big monsters with a head of a bull and are as big as a small bus. They are also carrying some huge mallets. It is probably too late to mention this, but my choice of weapon is a whip and some throwing daggers that I store in my Storage Ring. I know a whip is a strange choice for a weapon to my gender, but the only type of people that will mention it in my presence is my enemies. They won't even have time to mock me, as they will be either dead or too busy dodging my relentless whipping. While I was thinking of that stuff, the last of the minotaurs has already dropped dead on the ground. They didn't even leave a scratch on me, such pitiable monsters.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
