《The Inventor of Magic》19: Chameleon
Advertisement
So here we are a better written chapter but still short. Definitely going to a chapter every two days. For now, enjoy! ^O^
>>>Zach POV
"Ma~n that lesson was boring. It's a good thing I wasn't there... He he he.",
You'll find that a simple hologram array mixed with a teleport is quite good to escape from the never ending haunting drone of an English teacher.
"*sigh* What should I do now?", I said to myself as I walked away from main school building.
...
Ah, what a great idea! Richard did say to enjoy myself afterall. Since I have nothing else to do, why not?
[Teleport]
As soon as I thought of it my thought was intercepted and the [Teleport] rune was activated. Suddenly I appeared in my workshop.
"Right then!", I said mischievously as I smiled to myself. "I have a little under one hour!",

45 minutes later

*grin* "Ha ha ha ha ha! This will keep me entertained for ages!",
Behold! My masterpiece, the wonderful, the amazing. Chameleon Array!
Okay, okay. So the name is not exactly matching the function of the array itself. But! It doesn't matter anyway. It's only something I quickly put together in an hour, I'm sure that if I finish it properly I will give it a better name.
So what is it? Well, simply put, in under one hour I Zach Morton have created an array that can change what you look like!
It isn't solid but for all intense and purposes it works. I got the idea for the hologram stunt I made in the English classroom. By using a hologram that is slightly bigger than the body overplayed on top of the real body I can make a hologram that moves along with the body. All I needed to do was get the hologram array and attach it to a basic physical enhancement in order to make the hologram move with the body.

It's quite hard to maintain the array but it's not too bad.
So what am I going to do with this array? Well simple, I'm going to go have a chat with David.

>>>David POV
Ugh. This is why I like holidays! It's only a few days into the new term and already I have two stacks of papers to look through. TWO STACKS!
*sigh*, seriously.
*Knock* *Knock*
"What now?!",
"Sorry for interrupting Sir, there is a man here that said he came to see you.",
"I thought I said I didn't want any interruptions!",
"Yes well he said he was an old friend of yours. Does a mister Richard sound familiar to you at all sir?",
"Richard!? What's he doing here? Isn't he meant to be running the company. Hmm, send him in.",
"Yes sir.",
My secretary nodded and quickly left. Let's see what that old dog wants then shall we?
*Knock* *Knock*
"Come in",
The door opened and in walked the familiar face of Richard.
"Hello David, how are you?",
"Me? Oh I'm fine, do take a seat.",
Richard walked over and sat opposite me.
"So what did you disturb me for you old dog.",
"First of all I must apologize for tricking you David.",
"Tricking me? How?",
"Because I'm not Richard.",
Suddenly, Richard flickered and seemed to distort before finally ending up as a dark haired man of around 30 with a dashingly handsome face, a close trimmed beard and deep brown eyes. If anything he could easily compete with Richard in the looks department
"Who are you?!",
"Ah, sorry about the whole 'Richard' thing. Nice to meet you, I'm Arek Morton. Zach Morton's father. I heard he had entered this school.",
"He did but, why did you look like that?",

"Oh like this?", he said as he turned back into Richard. "Well, I finished making an array which let me do this, this morning. As for Richard well, him and I are old friends and colleagues. I'm sure he wouldn't mind me borrowing his appearance for a while. Ha ha ha!", with that he turned back into himself before turning directly to me.
"Now listen up David. I'd very much like to spar with you if you don't mind?",
"Actually, I have too much paper work left to do anything like that. I don't even know if you're identity is real yet. Let me phone Richard and if everything checks out and you help me finish this damned work, I wouldn't mind giving you a beating.",
"It's all I could have ever hoped for.", Arek said and smiled.
*Beep* *Boop* *Boop* *Beep* *Boop* *Boop*
"Hello, Richard? Yeah, it's me David. Say, do you know anyone by the name of Arek?",

Turn-Based Engineer
When James woke up five years before, he did not expect to end up in this weird, new world. Here, he found a reality filled with queer rules and magic beyond his imagination. Despite all this, he clung to his peaceful roots that he had been brought up with. With his knowledge, he could have changed the world. However, he did not wish to become some reckless adventurer or fearsome ruler; instead, he only sought to protect his loved ones and live a happy life. Sometimes though, the call of adventure forces itself upon even those who desperately wish to refuse. Warning: This story has multiple POVs. (But by chapter 15, it kind of narrows down onto James) This work is (as of now) being co-written by Zalex and Entelechy where Zalex has previously written the story, and Entelechy edits/adds pieces.

So What If I'm Trash? Who Needs Cultivation?!
Qing Shan Long. They say he isn't human. An escaped experiment from some government facility, a reincarnation of a saint, a freakish superhuman. Whatever he was one thing was clear. Be it Music, Martial Arts, Science, whatever he does he excels. He was a whimsical man. A great man. A man who craving for knowledge and excitement knows no bounds, whose collection of books and personal library would even make Alexander the Great green with envy. He donated to all manners of charities and funded many projects for helping the poor and disabled. A self made man who single handedly founded one of the largest corporations in the world, Wen Qu Technologies, whose influences reach from vast fields of expertise. From objects of war such as the newest aircrafts, droids, and body armor; to life saving medicine and vaccines; to even the mundane such as video games and the fast food industry. A legendary example of determination and hard work. He was in his car being driven to a business meeting to disclose a deal that would help ensure the country could have access to clean energy and help reduce the pollution that has been plaguing his homeland for the past millenia when he was assassinated and woke up in a strange new world. How will Qing Shan deal with his new environment where the strong suppresses the weak? From the top of the world he suddenly finds himself free falling to rock bottom. Unable to cultivate, a weak body, and all but disowned by his family. (For those who read comics and watch cartoons, imagine him as being Tony Stark, Richard Reeds, Jimmy Neutron, etc level of 'Genius'. ) My own spin on some familar tropes. Another reincarnation into another world story. The MC will take over the body of someone with a trash body that can't cultivate and will be hated and neglected by his family. Pretty typical so far right? Except there won't be some amazing miracle to heal our MC, there isn't some magical grandpa to teach him some OP thing which only his trash body can use, there isn't a hidden op bloodline, and he is not from a super amazing assassin clan or genius doctor. He isn't the chosen one, he's just a guy trying his best to make something with a crap situation. First attempt at a wuxia type story! I like playing with common tropes, maybe adding a twist, to playing it straight as a classic. I have absolutely no idea where this is going to take me but please do give your input and I'll do my best so that everyone has a say in where our journey will go. I'll admit the only knowledge I have of chinese history and ancient society is from reading light novels translated to english and some old dramas, so if I make some social passe just take it as because this is another world, not exactly an AU where magic and stuff actually exist. I'm also not actually Chinese and will basically using google to help me with names and other such, if I make a mistake please let me know! (Even if you don't like the story or couldn't bare to get past chapter 1 please leave a comment so I can find out where to improve, thank you!)
