《Sandbox of Interest》Chapter 1
Advertisement
"Astoria, Mother believes that it is time for Her to come." A woman in a blue snazzy outfit says.
"Don't you mean "her", mother?" A girl in a purple-blue gradient dress replies.
"Ah yes, my mistake, those complications do make me mess up in terms of people sometimes." She acknowledges as she subtly gestures the girl to go.
"I'll be back then, mother."
"Mother will be waiting here."
On that day, there was a decent shipment of alcohol smuggled into the mansion under the nose of the family. The alcohol was from a source that had left it highly concentrated in alcohol. It was left in the small basement of the mansion where one of the servants during the late night then came in with a pack of matches.
That servant then opened some of the bottles of alcohol and splashed it around the basement, to the entrance of the basement. He continue leading the trail of alcohol to an extremely small room with a metal canister.
He splashed the canister with the alcohol. Finally he leads the trail to the outside of the mansion, where a few other servants in cahoots with him were gathered.
He took out the pack of matches, took one match from the pack, and struck the match against the sandpaper that is attached to the pack. Sparks fly out and the tip of the match emits a small light, but then dims completely.
He struck the match against the sandpaper once again, sparks fly out once more, and the tip of the matchstick is caught on fire. He proceeds to throw the matchstick onto the trail of alcohol that he just poured, and the trail goes ablaze.
He then walks away with the group of cohorts. With malicious smiles on their faces.
The trail of fire however quickly goes out as it is lit, travelling throughout the mansion. It finally reaches the basement to where it begins to burn longer.
The other split end of the trail also has lit up to the metal cannister. Both places burn for a while, catching other things on fire such as wood, and the metal cannister explodes.

The explosive bang has alerted everyone at this point that something is happening, but too much damage has been done already.
The fire has been spreading at two different points, the basement, and the kitchen which are at two different points of the mansion.
The kitchen is much closer to Aliyah's bedroom than the basement. Infact, the kitchen is only two rooms away from her bedroom.
The servants that were loyal to the family were panicking as they called the fire department and tried to put out the fire themselves. They also rushed to evacuate their miss, Aliyah.
Due to her condition however, they couldn't be rough in moving her otherwise they would harm her. A team of 3 servants helped moved her out of the mansion as they removed some useless things from her.
With only one thing left attached to her along with her clothing, they began moving her. They moved her body, and as they did that, Aliyah herself began to gain consciousness.
An ember of flame landed on her nose and shocked her awake, she cried out in pain, alerting the servants and making them panic again for a bit. The path they were going in, just right before them, collapsed.
The servants, seeing this, were extremely thankful to their miss for basically stopping them from being smashed by a heavy wooden support that was on fire, yet at the same time, hopeless as their route to the exit was cut off. The only other way out of the mansion was going through a path that was already engulfed in flames.
The servants were extremely troubled as their miss was still with them, although they valued their lives, they also highly valued the life of their miss who still has a chance at life. They have been told that she is close to complete recovery from her disease, and with her gentle and pure nature, she would become someone they would respect wholly.
The servants decided to stay at the place the furthest away from the flames, buying themselves enough time for the fire department to arrive. Meanwhile, outside, two well-off looking men arrive at the scene to see more than half of the entire mansion on flames.

Yet they both had pallor looks on their faces as if their world was about to end. They have received the news that their only sister is still in the mansion along with three other servants.
One of the servants leading the escape reported that he had to get out as the fire caused collapsing of parts of the mansion, including one that completely blocked off the escape route for their sister. He ended his report with an apology and moved away, giving space to the two brothers.
The two brothers however, not giving up, tried to concoct a plan to save their sister, until the fire department finally showed up. A team of firefighters rushed into the mansion upon hearing from the two brothers and their plea.
The firefighters knew where they were going since one of the two brothers happened to hold a blueprint of the mansion on them and the servant who knew the escape route was with them. They were going down the path through the smoke that engulfed the high places of the mansion.
They have arrived at a fallen support beam that was still burning and the firefighters rushed through it. They spot four people, three people who look like servants, and one person who is in a sleepwear and also has one thing attached to her. They bring the four people with them past the fallen support beam, and through the flames.
However, it wasn't long before another support beam collapses from fire damage, falling onto the firefighter that was carrying the girl. The beam landed on the firefighter's back and nearly staggered. Another beam on the other side fell off, catching the firefighters off guard and the falling beam crushes the girl, who screams in pain as the fire reaches her, threatening to devour her.
The group of remaining free firefighters rushed to free the girl from the support beam that is pinning her down. And with a large amount of effort, they free the pinned firefighter and the girl.
They continue through, weary of about the mansion collapsing around them. They finally exit, and rush the girl to the ambulance waiting for them outside.
The firefighter that was collapsed with the girl was fine as he only suffered minor burns since he wore fire resistant gear and the gear was thick enough to absorb most of the shock from the collapsing support beam. The girl on the other hand, all of the clothing on her was completely burned off and she suffered 3rd degree burns that deeply burned the skin.
She also received damage to her back from the fallen support beam as trauma. And the IV drip that was forcefully detached from her also caused damage to her veins.
She was immediately rushed to the emergency room from the ambulance that carried her there that was equipped with a full-dive biocube. Her consciousness was forcefully transferred to the full-dive where the girl stopped feeling pain and weakness. Loud noises were heard outside the emergency room.
An erratic beeping sound was heard in the room, while the medical staff in the room rush to stabilize the condition of the girl. The heartbeat sensor sended lengthy pulses, signaling the extreme weakness of the heart.
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX;[email protected]> Received aliyah.soul
--Disconnected--
At that instant, the lengthy beep changed to a constant beep. The medical staff were shocked.
The girl; Aliyah... Has died.

Created file aliyah.entity under aliyah.chr

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
