《The Empath [hidden]》Chapter 1
Advertisement
I lay relaxingly on the capsule and switch it on, the familiar darkness greets me for a moment before I am led to character creation place, the npc that guides me through the process is nothing like the a.i. Inn the game it's voice is mechanical and has no personality a bit boring but nothing I can do about it and not like I am going to be here again.
"Account user D-5391 detected, no character on your account, do you wish to create one"
"Yes please"
"Please choose your name and change your apperance" two screens appear before me showing my avatar in 3d and options for changing it.
After a few minutes of changing it, I give it an average look with black hair and eyes, nothing special, as for name I choose Jack and nickname Jester.
Starting location is completely random though, anyway the process is complete and I am telephoned to the starter village.
I appear in the village center, which is fairly empty except for few npc, well even those who restarted have done it years before so it could be hard to find low leveled players or new ones I guess, a npc is approaching me.
"Young adventure, it's been months since I saw your kind, now tell me do you need any help?"
"Nah, thanks for the offer though"
"Ah, well that's to be expected I guess"
Accessing the 3x5 inventory I take out the 5 storage rings which has a space of 10x10 meter, this thing though not rare among high leveled players is pretty uncommon for low leveled one or Pennyless ones, I take out several skill tomes for production skills.
The skill tomes areas follows, Magical alchemy, in which you use mana instead of flame to process the ingredients, it gives high level purity products but as a downside takes time and for mass production takes astronomical amounts of mana.

The next is Magical Repair, which similarly uses mana and a little bit stamina to repair equipments and such, it too has the downside of taking time which can be reduced if you pore in excess mana but that's not possible till you reach higher level.
Anyway mastering this skill unlocks elemental blacksmithing but you need to choose it as the main profession or you won't reach above intermediate level in it.
The last skill is Divine scriptures, remember how I said I pissed of people, well this is the cause, when divine scripture is mastered you get the Scroll maker skill.
This thing is kept as a major secret by the church and fully monopolized by them, due to certain lucky quest I learned about it and after lots of sneaking around and bribing some concerned figures who were loose with their lips got me the location of the skill tome.
Though I did get noticed by some during the process of obtaining it and was marked later to be hunted down, so I decided on the aforementioned restart.
Anyway just for your info normal skill scripture when mastered unlocks the scribe profession, which is a trash profession with no benefit whatsoever, well you could be a able to work for royalty or nobles if you had that though.
These are three production skills I am going to work with, but sadly I can only master one of them since only one profession is allowed and hence I won't be using two of them to full potential but still I will be saving up money and time on the long run.
Argh it is hurtful though when I think about how I won't be able to make legendary potions or items since I can't master alchemy or blacksmithing but I can get my hands on the ever so illusive scroll making profession that's been searched around for a lot of time.

Though a few others may have learned about it already I higly doubt many has it, the quest for finding about it is rare, troublesome and easily ignorable kind, hence only few players mqay have completed it and it's unwritten rule to keep such things secret, though even if you know it getting the quest itself is very hard, so it's gonna be highly profitable and gives unbelivable amount of advantage in battle.
I also found a class that's matching for the profession, but it's a tricky one not in the sense of getting it but it's usage itself but that for later, so in order to get it you need to first choose mind mage which is a weak buffer class and once you reach level hundred and perform a secret quest to get the class, the class is a secret for now teehee.
Anyway I need to reach level 10 before I can get the class so of to hunting now, equipping the slightly over powered mana gun I head to soon to be massacre site.
As much as I could like to hunt those white fluffy rabbits, they are a bit fast and small for me to aim and shoot, yep people you have to learn to shoot properly before you can hit anything and let me tell you it took me six months to get used to that.
So with my previous experience it's easy now but still small targets are no go, so my attention is shifted to the soon to be swiss cheesed wolf pack in the forest, bam....bam...bam....goes the gun for a little over 2 hours during which I get 57 head shots and whole lot of meat and hide as loot and yeah let me tell you in this game there is no equipment drop by monsters.
Anyway if you are wondering about how I am able to head shot wolves so why not the rabbits which are bigger than a wolves head....................>.>..........I will leave it for you to guess my reasons for not doing so (definitely not because I cannot come up with something good), getting back to topic I make my way back to village and approach the village center were the old newbie guiding npc is.
"Hey old man, is there anybody poor in the village"
"Humm. ?....why could you ask that, bah whatever the answer is no boy, pretty much everyone is doing good thanks to your kind and recent improvement in countries prosperity"
"I see then hmm. ?......what are needed to hold a party for the whole village then?"
"Ho, party you say, you mean festival right, well it requires 2000 meat, drinks minimum but you can add other things too I guess"
Voila your screwed up author here...............well I got nothing cool to say godammit

Leaves of Terranthir
DISCONTINUED - I won't be writing more of this fiction. Check out the latest post for a worlbuilding summary / final thoughts. Leaves of Terranthir is a gamelit blend of ARPG, action, fantasy, and slice of life. It's inspired in part by some of my favourite games, borrowing in themes, sense of exploration, and aesthetics from the Soulsborne and soulslike genre, mixed heavily with arpg itemization from Diablo/PoE style games. While many may remember their Soulslike experiences as nothing more than suffering, I personally loved the sense of progression, to prevail over challenges and monsters that seemed impossible to defeat at first. If any of that seems interesting to you, do check out the first chapter and let me know what you think. Cheers, and thanks for reading. Cover by Baconstrap.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?

Days have turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into long years without a single sign from the Heavens above.The mythical immortals that once protected the world of Oseo have seemingly vanished in the wake of a mysterious phenomenon that occurred only recently — the startling disappearance of a large portion of the night sky and, with it, the gradual decline of Spiritual Qi.In a steadily decaying era where cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult to practice, vast empires, ancient Societies, and powerful organizations have all begun to fight to secure the last remaining Spirit Stone mines and Spiritual Qi leylines across the world.There is little hope for peace now that the final century of cultivation has dawned on Oseo, but to Laude Tellstar, a simple mortal farmer, none of that mattered.As an ordinary mortal who had no interest in the world of cultivation, Laude had considered him exempt from the fearsome conflict raging across Oseo until he was forcibly drawn into the fray one fateful day… by a single, stray bolt of lightning.After that, his life was never the same again. Dragged into a dying world of cultivation, Laude’s journey to expunge his cultivation base and return to mortalhood will take him across Oseo and into the shadow of a heavenly conspiracy so monumental that it could endanger all of Oseo and beyond…
