《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?",

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow. Thank you for your time and art skills.

Dungeon Island
Reincarnated into a dungeon core beneath an island after losing my memories. I don’t yet know what happened to me, why I am here and the likes. But one day I will find out and then I will settle on my next actions. For now, I just have to take care of my little crabs. Warning: the 'Grimdark', 'Gore' and 'Traumatising content' are not there for show. They may not be fully relevant in the first chapters, but they are definitely there for a reason. Schedule: when I feel like it (usually between Wednesday and Friday night). This story is not a really serious work, I will use it to train my writing skills before going back to my other stories (Jezoi, and Vlaryne) that are currently on hold.
