Magic Shop System Chapter 26
Advertisement
When four hours passed, Elora walked out of the meditation room. Kadyn looked at her expressionless face and felt a sting in his heart. She had eaten nothing since yesterday, but she never complained, not even once.
"Come, I have brought food." Kadyn said when he saw her absent minded gaze, looking unfocused at the distant, flat, orange horizon. Hearing Kadyn's call, she turned her beautiful blue eyes in his direction and asked. "What?"
"Food." he pulled the bag from under the counter and waved at her. Elora blinked and then bit her lips, but remained silent. Before she brought food for him. Now the situation has reversed. The surreal feeling she felt was unbelievable—felt like ages passed when they had eaten food.
Her throat had dried and her stomach sunken deeper, touching the ribs, but she didn't complain. However, at this moment her face showed pain she was hiding all this time—she controlled her tears, refusing to let them go and put a warm smile on her face.
Though before she could understand anything, Kadyn embraced her tightly. The strong front she was putting crumbled like cards. Tears rolled off her smooth face, wetting her brother's shoulder.
"Alright, alright." Kadyn patted her head gently, but had no idea how to comfort her. As he had no experience in this regard. So he waited until Elora calmed and stopped her bawling.
The brother-sister duo sat on the mattress as the dishes laid in front of them. The food was well packed that kept it warm. The mouth watering smell of biryani wafted through the room. The chicken was garnished with all types of spices and other stuff. Beef stew laid on the other side, waiting for someone to claim it. Two big bowls contained noodles, decorated with beef, an egg and green garlic leaves.

"What're you waiting for? Eat." Kadyn rolled his eyes when he saw her dazed face.
"Thank you."
"Oh, shut up!" Kadyn snorted and jumped on the food like a hungry wolf, and Elora giggled at him. Jubilantly. All the dishes were her favourites—seeing her best-liked food after a long hunger, she felt overwhelmed with warmth. It was her brother who brought these. For her.
——
After the supper, Kadyn resumed his work while Elora went to the Healing Hall. She wanted to rest. Kadyn said nothing and continued to eye the entrance in boredom. No one came.
"It's time for Hicka and others to come out." He murmured and gazed at the meditation room. Not long after the four kids walked out talking and laughing and punching among themselves, looking jubilant. Excited.
"Thank you, boss, for today." Hicka said, and the other three followed behind. The benefits they got from here were immense. Almost all of them had successfully awakened a star. This was a shocking thing in such a run-down place as Avibria city.
Kadyn nodded and then he glanced up at them, saying. "Why don't you try the practice room?"
All of them looked at each other and nodded. They wanted to see what this practice room could give them. After their first experience the expectation for this shop had climbed to the apex.
Only Hicka shook his head. "I don't have enough money. I won't join you guys."
"What are you talking about?" one kid said. "I have enough money. I will let you borrow. Return me when you have."
Hicka wanted to refuse his friend money but others dragged him by his arm. Of course, after paying the money for two battles.

After these customers, no one came. So Kadyn had food with Elora and went to the mediation room.

The same schedule continued and ten days passed in these ten days he had awakened nine fire stars—that was unbelievable—six summoning stars and three lightning stars. In this period, he earned a staggering amount of energy points due to the increasing number of customers.
[Energy Points: 500+12→512]
Kadyn also started teaching Elora potion making—he couldn't stop smiling when he remembered her face after learning that he could brew potions. She was shocked beyond belief. She had a healing element and her dream was to become a famous potioneer. That's why she knew how hard it was to become one—to know that her brother, who was less than nineteen, had become a potioneer, was something to be bragged about.
Moreover her brother's achievements didn't shock her the most. It was she—herself—who brewed Soothing Potion in just a practice of five days. After that event, her smile came back and her face shone with confidence that she lacked before.
However the only regrettable thing was that she had no healing spell. If she had one such spell, the shop would become even more popular. After all everyone needed to heal from big or small injuries. Although other magus looked down on them, their value couldn't be denied.
——
Kadyn stood in front of the Spinning Wheel and spoke. "Spin!"
So the wheel started rolling and 10 points vanished like smoke in the fog. His hands clasped in agitation, sweat trickling his forehead. "Come on!"
"Better luck next time!"
He had already expected it and once more rolled the spin.
"Better luck next time!"
Once more.
"Better luck next time!"
"..."
After the fourth try he stopped, peering at the wheel speechlessly. He had the urge to curse the system, but he remembered it would cost him ten energy points, so he swallowed his indignance.
"Last time." He exhaled deeply and once more the wheel rolled. Kadyn stood languidly. He had no hope to get any lottery—when he thought the same notification would appear again, the change occurred. "Congratulations on winning a lottery."
The elation at this moment he felt could not be described in words. Then, he remembered the last lottery and his smile froze. He rushed to check the thing that he won and saw a scroll in front of the wheel. He rushed to grasp it as it would run away and opened to check what was inside.
"Healing spell?"
"What would I do with a healing spell?" Kadyn frowned.
"Just give it to your sister." The system chimed in.
"I should give her? But didn't you say last time that I can't give a lottery to others?" he asked suspiciously.
"Uh, cough, you can give non-living things to others." System replied after a short, awkward silence.
"You're contradicting your own words." Kaden wanted to know the reason behind his contradicting words, but the system refused to answer.

Wretched Brood
I knew I was different from the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with those simpletons that valued only food, drink, and women. So I distanced myself from my brood, not considering myself a goblin. I even tried to become one of the humans, befriending some in the process. I thought that I’d live a relatively happy life as a “human” adventurer, albeit behind a wooden mask. At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”

Dispatches from the Inter-galactic
Dispatches From The Inter-Galactic is a series of loosely related satirical stories which take place in a galaxy full of various interstellar civilizations and numerous space faring species generally described as consentients. This series is set in a galaxy which take place in a similar but not entirely unlike the galaxy in which my series Up in Space takes place While there are numerous themes related to interstellar life, several of the stories directly relate to specific themes such as; The pan-galactic ramifications to the use of supersymetrical energy sources (often drained from intera-located alternate and pocket realities.) the use of which by most interstellar civilizations is steadily increasing the overall amount of Dark Matter. This is increasing the mass of the galaxy and results in the occasional rips in inter-dimensional space as well as an overall increase in supernova activity. It is also speeding up the approach of the galaxy in Andromeda, which is of concern to several long lived civilizations; The Morphoids, a race of shape-changing consentients who are capable of using the space lanes created by the use of supersymetrical sourced energy to spread throughout the galaxy. They are currently viewed as threat number one by many space-faring species; and Xeno and exo-sexuality, as many species try to figure out what sort of enjoyment they can have with many of the species they encounter in space (only some of which are carbon-based, or more rarely, humanoid in appearance). This also relates to the altering of species to make reproduction somewhat easier for those with rather complicated lifestyles. A major force in this area of pursuit is the galactic visiteering industry, which promotes the ‘uplifting’ of more primitive planet-bound near-consentients.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
