《This time its my Turn》Lazy Jhon
Advertisement
Its a hot summer and there are almost no clouds to be seen the the blue sky. Under that sky is a small village surrounded by mountains and sea. A large river flows from the mountain to the sea and the place where the river meets the sea is where this village is located.
This village has only more than fifty houses like the other villages around, all made of wood and dry coconut leaves. Inside one of this houses a one year old baby can be seen lying on the bed.
A year has already passed since his birth and he still remember clearly that day he breath the first time.
He was very excited but reality failed to meet his expectation. First of all his eyes are still weak, he can see colors but barely able see shapes of humans.
Then his hearing, every loud noise hurt ear and make him cry, even if he don't want to. Its babies instinct and Jhon can't control.
Lastly is the language, he can't understand what people are talking about.
After crying for a minute Jhon feel sleep on his mother's embrace, he only remember that there only two people in that room beside him and his mother. Probably the midwife and his father, well he don't care his too tired from all that crying.
Every sunny morning John's mother bring him out let the morning sun shine on him. He sees small houses and the old civilization which he now lives in.
His mother always talks to the neighbor but Jhon don't understand what they're talking about so he can only observe while tryin to learn this new language as fast as he can.
It took him half a year to understand the native language by of course he still pretends like a normal 6 months old baby.

One thing he notice is that all the people in the village has black hair, including Jhon an this parents.
One morning it happens, while his mother is talking to one of their neighbor, its a mother of two children, the elder is around 6 years old and another a few months old same with Jhon. While this two mothers carrying their few months old baby, a boy came running from inside the village with an excited face, its the older son of their neighbor.
Then the boy told something to the two mothers with a proud face. Jhon is just 3 months old and he only understand few words so he don't know what the boy is talking about but he clearly see the happy face of his mother and their neighbor.
Jhon look at the older boy pick a small stick from the ground then show it to his mother. Jhon don't understand what's to be happy about but can only observe.
The boy then focus on the stick he's holding and after a few seconds, the stick started burning. The boy let go of the stick as it burned to ash.
While both mothers are happy to see the performance of the kid, Jhon is burning of excitement. "A magic world! Hahaha its my turn! Study magic, use magic then reach the peak!" "I remember reading someone complaining he don't have a cheat.
Who needs systems, legendary weapons and OP skills when the greatest cheat one can have us his old memory. The knowledge and discipline of an adult is the best cheat of all."
Since that day Jhon prefers to stay on bed and try to feel any energy on the air. Its already 8 months since then but Jhon can't feel anything new. "Where's the chakra, the ki, the ren haki or whatever?

Do I need to wait until 4 years old so I can attend the basic magic class on the village hall."
Jhon heard about kids training by only those four year olds and above can go.
His fruitless endeavor started to make Jhon feel like he has no talent for magic but its too early to given up so days pass as Jhon try to feel any energy on the air with no success.
"Mama I'm home!" A loud voice of his father wake up Jhon from hi stupor. "Dad wait a little while, lunch is almost ready, how's the hunt?" Mother's voice answer from the kitchen.
"We caught a big game this time, here I got both legs enough for us for a few days. By the way, is lazy Jhon still on the bed?"
"Yes he is always a good baby, I have no problem with him unlike our neighbor's babies. If only you stop calling him lazy. Even our neighbor starts calling him lazy Jhon too."
"Hahaha let me hug my baby before I eat."
"Remember to clean yourself first, don't you dare touch my baby with your dirty hands."
Every time John's dad return from hunting he never forget to annoy baby Jhon. Stinky hug, stinky kisses and even throwing him into the air.
"Dad.... Magic..."
While using his super cute expression he finally says what he have been trying to say for months.

Glitched! Uplift Arc
[Winner of the April 22 Royal Road Writathon Challenge] In 2202 the System reached Earth. Thankfully it had learnt from previous uplifts and implemented an introductory arc to acclimatise the new participants rather than chucking them in the deep end. The previous practice of just dumping unsuspecting beings into a System designed for the growth of the multiverse had led to catastrophic and sub-optimal results. The return on investment was abysmal. That old trope was so over-cooked - after nearly extinguishing itself through negative returns new policy was required. That was 356 trillion local years back. Now over 5600 successful uplifts had joined the ranks of the multiverse. But the System was always learning, always growing. Still there were glitches. Mostly minor. Mere irritants really. Sometimes even they were catalysts, triggering a fresh expansion. Soon the System would understand why. Our Earth was 7912th. - Ascend - Battle - Challenge - Dominate - Expand - Gro... - Glor... - Where’s the eff word? - Glitch... File corrupted. ---END SYN---

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
