《The Unforgiving World》Chapter 4
Advertisement
It feels like there is more to be said, next chapter I will have a lot of fighting scenes and the couple next chapters I will give the Characters back stories.
Chapter 4: The status window
Yui lead us back to the summoning chambers and there they were 5 big crystals hovering over the ground, red, blue, yellow, white, and black from left to right. She told us to go walk towards them and we would walk end up in front of our corresponding crystal.
As we walked towards them I felt no pull from the crystals but Paul had walked directly towards the red one, Anastasia towards the yellow one, Brooke walked towards the blue one, and Shiro walked towards the white one, and so I walked straight towards the black one and as soon as we all stood in front of the crystals we all raised our hands and as soon as we touched the crystals the lights in them ignited... well all but mine right away, mine just flickered off and on, 4 times before it stayed on...
"They have never flickered before, that is quite strange, well looks like Paul is leadership material... creepy, Brooke is dedicated, Anastasia is courageous, Shiro is pure, and Gabriel is strong." Yui said as if it were a matter of fact
"Weird I thought I would be with the black crystal... you know cause the universe isn't racist at all. I also thought so because Gabriel seems better fit to lead than myself." Paul said as he pulled his arm back from the red crystal
"Okay now come over here and I will show you how to activate your status windows" Yui said as she walked over to the walls next to the crystals.
"So I take it we just think about something like 'command status window open' or 'open status window' and it will just pop up?" I asked Yui in a curious tone

"Umm no that would be ridiculous you can't just make things poof into thin air, well I mean you can if you are a conjurer class however in order to bring up your status window you need to touch
something solid and flat and pour mana into the object or surface and it should just be imprinted on the surface or object." Yui explains in a very descriptive manner
"So just pour our mana into an object or surface and it will appear, wont it vandalize property or something? What if we don't want to show anyone else our status window?" I say as if it's a bother and smile at her.
"It will not vandalize any object or surface as the status window will only stay on that object or surface as long as you continue to channel your mana into it, also your mana and health will not appear on the Status window, you will know if you are close to running out of mana if you suddenly start feeling nauseas." Yui says while smiling happily as she probably feels she's being useful.
"I don't mean to pry and I don't necessarily want to see your stats but can you show us how to open it? also explain to us what you feel when using your mana to open it, so we have a better understanding of what to do." I asked as I feel I learn more effectively if I am shown rather than told and I kind of wanted to see her stats.
"So Yui showed us her Status window as she opened it on the wall just next to us, and says 'in order to feel the presence of mana you don't need to look very far there is mana in all living things as well as the air that we breathe,' mana is something hard to feel for the people of this world however many who understand it, have the ability to pass it on to others so for example our Court Wizard can teach others how to better control it. so you can understand how he is a very useful commodity for our kingdom

"It is possible to hide your Stats, Level, and Class and even have them display whatever you want them to, however it takes a lot of training." Yui explained
"I noticed you're a priestess of Voore? who is he or she?" I asked in a curious tone, I was also taken aback a little as I assumed she would be stronger.
"Voore is a holy relic of the old Gods before they were addicted to power and deemed themselves the only existence that deserves to live on this planet."
"Yeah... what the hell is with these skills..." I comment again without thinking
She scowls at me and says in an angry tone
"There is nothing wrong with my skills! THEY ARE ALL NORMAL!" She yells at me and then walks faster to distance herself from me.
"Oh no wait I meant it as if your skills seem really amazing, I didn't mean it as an insult." I quickly try and convince her
"Really?!?! you mean it you weren't making fun of me? I am always bullied because The relic or Voore is seen as the weakest among all of the old Gods relics." She says cheerfully while blushing a little bit
"I think they make fun of you because you are way too beautiful compared to them and they are just jealous." Paul says and winks at her
"hehe Thank you oh great hero Paul but please don't joke around" she says trying to deflect any sexual sense directed towards her.
"Hahaha I mean it, you are so beautiful that has to be the reason they bully you." He says trying to reassure her
"You can't possibly know that as you have never seen these women, I am positive a horn dog like you would give up on me the second you saw one of them." She shouts and delivers a glare that could drop a black bear.
"OH I JUST UNLOCKED VOORE'S BLOODY CHILLING GLARE!!! YAY THANK YOU SO MUCH PAUL." She shouts excited happy she just unlocked a skill, as she probably just forgot how she unlocked it.
"Anyways I have to go fulfill my duties as a priestess as I have already given you all the necessary items required for training, I will give you some advice if you go out to fight make sure you know the risks of using your mana as if you use too much you will faint and the monsters will kill you undoubtedly, if the enemy is a Goblin, Troll, or Orc they may have their way with you..."
"So be careful!" She warns us of the dangers of overusing our mana and also the dangers of the beast like monsters with no moral compass
Tomorrow I will go and fight the goblins of Goburi Forest just north of here.

Evo-Gaming
Evolution based StarCraft story with game-like elements. Everyone gets a good cheat-like system with well design UI and player-friendly system. I get this broken piece of shit Alpha version. Not to mention, that starting at the very bottom is not that fun. Oh well, let's hope things get better later. Warning - If you read this now, you will be essentially beta tester. The story will include biology, chemistry, but will not focus on it too hard. I aim to please both groups but inevitably will probably alienate both the people who dislike the subject and the ones who like it.

Reverie
Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them. And there’s more at play in their ‘peaceful’ world than they’d thought. Cover art by Rin! Check out her work!

The Gambit
The kingdoms have rarely experienced peace, with kings and rulers warring against each other on any percieved slight. With explorers riding the waves to find new lands and merchants eager to set up trade routes while profiting as much as possible. Would the status quo still hold up? The veil is already weakining as more magic and horrors seep through the gap. How would the world deal with the sudden increase in the limited resource of magic? With the times changing, barren lands become trade hubs and the power shifts. The system holding it all together, is in a fragile balance, would a single death break the balance and cause the most devastating war the people have experienced. The direction of the story : The story will not contain any main protagonist, rather multiple protagonists and antagonists with the protagonists having bad some character traits and the antagonists some good ones. I plan to make a story of flawed humans, so if you are looking for OP MCs you would not enjoy it. But I still hope you give it a try. This is my first time writing and I am doing it to get better, so any suggestion or criticism is welcome. I am a university student, so do not expect a robust upload schedule, I'll try to put out 2 chapters a week, but there might be some delays. I apologize for it in advance. P.s. English is not my native language, so there might be some errors, though I tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
