Chapter 9: Superior Magic Talent
1
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
“Tulip Academy of Magic.”
1
Joelson found the Capital Academy of Magic. The classical-style gate was open, but it was guarded by the imperial guards. No one was allowed to enter.
“Those who are taking the entrance test, turn right in front.”
2
Joelson spent a few copper coins to get the information he wanted from the imperial guards guarding the gate.
2
On the right side of the academy was a small square.
Joelson saw many young men and women around his age gathered in one place. All of them were here to participate in the entrance test of the Magic Academy.
The Best Magic Academy in the Alcott Empire.
1
It had a long history of more than 500 years.
There were many powerful mages who came out of the academy all over the continent.
The pillar of the Empire, the great saint-level.
1
The Tulip Academy of Magic was the holy and of magic that all the youths of the empire yearned for the most. There was no one like it.

“The entrance test requires a fee of ten gold coins. If one is admitted, the gold coins will be returned.”
Joelson thought that mages were indeed a noble occupation.
Just one entrance test required ten gold coins.
It would take a few years for a commoner to accumulate the gold coins. If they did not meet the entrance criteria, the gold coins would be wasted and they would not be able to get it back.
However, even with such harsh conditions, there were still many people who came to take the test.
Once they were admitted, their lives would be completely different. It could be said that the ten gold coins changed the fate of the family.
A mage had a status that was even nobler than a noble.

A few people in black robes sat in the middle of the square. Two transparent crystal balls the size of a human head floated in front of them.
The crystal balls were used for the entrance test.
This magical scene made the teenagers who were waiting for the test both amazed and shocked.
Was this the power of magic?
The person who supported the test was a man with a short golden beard. He looked a little thin and weak with a cold expression.
2
Joelson noticed that there were three golden stripes on the left chest of his black robe.
This was a tier 3 magician.
“Name?”
“Sherwood Phillip.”
The young man who was preparing for the test was wearing a washed white linen shirt. He was obviously a commoner.
He was very nervous in front of the man with the short golden beard.
“Put your hand on the first crystal ball.”
“Oh, okay.”
The young Sherwood hurriedly nodded and stretched out his hands towards the crystal ball, looking as if he was going to take it away.
The short-bearded man frowned slightly. “Just one hand will do.”
The crowd burst into laughter and Sherwood’s face instantly turned red.
Sherwood carefully put his right hand on the Crystal Ball, afraid that it would fall from the air.
Obviously, his worry was unnecessary. The crystal ball was lifted by an invisible force and was very stable in the air.
Under everyone’s eyes, the crystal ball lit up with white light, like a fifty-watt incandescent light bulb.
Sherwood was shocked and looked at the short-bearded man helplessly.
The short-bearded man’s eyes lit up and he became alert.
“Put your hand on the second crystal ball again.”
Sherwood did as the short-bearded man said.
The second crystal ball also lit up, but unlike the first one, it emitted an earthy yellow light.

The crystal ball under Sherwood’s hand was like a turbid yellow agate.
The short-bearded man nodded in satisfaction and seemed to be in a good mood.
“Spiritual power talent, medium.”
“Congratulations, you will become a member of the Tulip Academy of Magic.”.
1
The short-bearded man announced.
There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd.
“Oh my God, this commoner is actually admitted?!”
“Medium spiritual power talent and magic perception talent. He can at least become a level-two earth magician in the future!”
3
“What a lucky kid!”
Sherwood was stunned by this sudden huge surprise.
A couple rushed out from the crowd and hugged Sherwood. Tears of joy flowed out of their eyes. They were his parents.
“I’m going to become a magician! I’m going to become a magician!”
4
Sherwood came back to his senses and shouted excitedly. He looked a little comical.
But no one laughed at him. Instead, they looked at him with envy.
After Sherwood graduated from the academy, he would become a noble of noble status and an elite of the empire.
“Hello, I am the butler of Count Webster’s mansion.”
“I am from Marquis Reginald’s mansion.”
A few well-dressed men quickly walked towards Sherwood’s house and offered him olive branches to rope him in.
1
From the moment Sherwood was tested for his magical talent, the fate of his family had changed drastically.
Unfortunately, no one was accepted again for a long time.
Finally, it was Joelson’s turn.
Joelson’s face was calm.
He was different from the others. He knew how talented he was in magic.
They were both intermediate. Since Sherwood could be accepted, he definitely could.
“Put your hand on the crystal ball.”
Joelson already knew the steps of the test.
His fair and slender fingers gently covered the crystal ball.
The crystal ball slowly glowed.
The short-bearded man looked up in surprise.
It seemed that another qualified person had appeared.
The onlookers also stretched their necks and looked over.
The light of the crystal ball grew brighter and brighter, quickly surpassing the brightness that Sherwood had achieved previously.
The crowd had already begun to let out some scattered exclamations.
Joelson felt that the crystal ball in his hand was like an invisible vortex, sucking his spiritual energy.
He could only continue to pour his spiritual energy in.
He let all of the spiritual energy of the second-rank mage in.
The brightness of the crystal ball had reached a terrifying level, dazzling to the point of being blinding.
It was impossible to look straight at it. It was as if a small sun had risen in the square.
The short-bearded man stood up with a swoosh.
His expression was extremely excited, and his breathing became heavy.
When he was testing Sherwood, his expression had only softened a little, but now, his entire face was trembling with excitement.
“Let’s change to another one!”
The short-bearded man’s tone was extremely hurried as if he could not wait any longer. There was also a hint of expectation and respect in his tone.
Joelson changed his hand and covered the other crystal ball.
The transparent crystal ball was instantly dyed red and then quickly deepened.
It could not be compared with Sherwood’s slowly changing color.
The fiery red color became darker and darker. At its peak, it was like flowing magma, with traces of golden yellow.
The short-bearded man could no longer suppress his ecstatic mood. He suddenly walked out from behind the table.
He held onto Joelson’s hand tightly!
1
“Spiritual power talent, Super!”
“Magic Perception Talent, Super!”
5
“Fire element affinity!”
“Congratulations, Joelson Edward! I look forward to the day when you make the Tulip Academy feel honored!”
The square, which had been discussing non-stop just now, instantly fell silent.
The entire place was silent.

God Blade (Hiatus)
Theo, a prodigy of sword and an aspiring adventurer, lives in an RPG-like world where everyone has their own level and skill. However, his is a hardcore RPG world where more than half of its human never gets higher than level one. So who is Theo you ask? Was he a ninja trying to be a leader in his hidden village? Was he trying to be a pirate king? Maybe a teenager summoned from another world? A chosen one of the god? A man whose girlfriend is secretly the demon queen? A cook in a journey to make the greatest dish? Or maybe the reincarnation of an ancient Dark Lord? Well, No. Theo is a man born in that world. An NPC you might say. Not only that, he wasn't even the true hero or the main protagonist of his own world. But he does have to meet all those people during his journey to accomplish his dream. ----- 1 chapter every 2 or 3 days. I don't claim the MC of my story to be not cliched. With so many stories on the internet right now, It's almost impossible if not outright impossible to make an original MC. The best I can do is pick the kind of cliched MC I like the most and give it a twist of my own. English is not my first language, so there will be some mistakes in every chapter. Please notify me in the comment if you found one (Or some). I'm still an inexperienced writer, so feedbacks and reviews are very much appreciated.
8 327Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.

8 119The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body. This is supposed to allow him to live whatever kind of life he wants, whether it be a peaceful farmer, influential merchant, courtier or beggar, again and again. The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
