Life Drain System Chapter 17

"Hmmm, well let us talk more soon. Although for now, I must start crafting those bracelets for you you all, as I am a man of my word." Yueliang stated.
"Okay" She said, kind of sad and feeling insecure about what will happen. 'Will we stay together or break up' she worried as he left to a side room.
Once inside the blacksmithing room, he checked to see that everything was in place. Upon seeing that is was, he quickly went over to the casting sand and started placing the 100 small steel rods he bought earlier. He brought down the top half and used a mallet to hammer it and make a mold. Once this process was done, he turned it on its side. Then decided, instead of using the automatic pouring system he designed the better choice seemed to be to use his second design.
His second design had a track that held a crucible, that would be used to move it along the designated space. So Yueliang used the crank on the side to bring it out of the furnace. Then activated the level 3 fire crystal to heat up the forge, which only took an instant with the heat the crystal produced. In the mean time, he placed 5 steel ingots into the crucible, along with some pure white wood ash to strengthen the arm cuffs. However he did not use to much for worry of making them brittle instead.
Yueliang decided simple arm cuffs would be better, because he needed to finish them quickly. Once this was done, he cranked it into the forge then shut the doors so it would keep the heat inside. While the metal was melting, he decided to open the lid over the trough filled with oil. Now I just have to wait for the metal to harden a little after pouring it, then drop them in here.
After a few seconds, Yue felt it was ready, so he cranked it out. Then began to carefully pour it into mold. He waited about 40 seconds, then popped open the mold, grabbed his tongs and began quickly moving each over to something he designed to round the metal. He then bent each into its shape quickly then placed it into the oil.
While doing this, he thought. 'If I want to fit all the enchantments I want on there, I will need to use runes rather spells. Using soul gems does not seem like an option either as there are to many things to worry about. However I may need the orcs to help if I want these done quickly. There are too many runes to inscribe.'

Once finished dropping the first batch in, he prepared for the second one. While it was melting he drew the runes that needed to be carved into each, and at the same time showed where on it. Then thought. 'If only I ended up getting some dwarves as well or master craftsmen. Oh well, I am still extremely pleased to have gotten this group.'
Thus upon finishing this he summoned 20 of the orcs that he met in the hall earlier, and said. "I apologize if I have woken you, or am bothering you. However if you would, please assist me with inscribing these runes onto these arm cuffs and polishing them. I have all the tools you need placed out for you on the workbench. The workbench is there and tongs by the trough to take out the arm bands."
He quickly got back to what he was doing and after 58 more batches, he joined them in inscribing and polishing each of the arm cuffs. Upon finishing all the inscriptions, he gathered the mana he had inside himself and filled each with mana to make sure each was ready, rather than having the others have to figure this out. However there was a downside in this. The first mana runes touch once inscribed is the one they are formatted for, so will be less efficient with others varying on the skill of the forger.
"Thank you again everyone, I hope that I can repay you later. Please get some rest, you have worked hard." Yueliang praised them and thanked them.
They replied simply saying. "You need not repay us, it is only right for us to help when you have already done so much for us. Also, it is already past sunrise, just so that you know." Then they smiled, bowed and left back to their rooms.
"So much time has already passed?" Yue said to himself surprised that time passed so quickly. Then continued speaking to himself. "Well I guess I had better start handing these out to everyone but first 'inspect'."
{Simple Illusion Armband}
[Effect 1: Makes wearer look human.
Effect 2: Allows wearer to see beyond disguises.
Effect 3: Anti- fouling and anti- rusting.
Made by: Yueliang Haizi]
'I am sure they will all love this, although sadly I did not have enough time to make a design for it' He thought to himself as he walked towards the meeting hall, summoned Rei and asked him to bring everyone to the meeting hall, as he had something to say.
---- About 20 minutes later ----

Everyone had just finished filing into the hall, and Yueliang began by saying. "Hello, and good morning everyone. I hope you rested well, and as I am a man of my word, the Illusion armbands are ready. However, I must say, this would have been a lot more difficult without the help of 20 of you. Thus once again, I must say, thank you very much."
After a short pause Yue continued. "Please come forward to receive your Illusion armbands. I hope you all like them. Also, sorry for not making them look more intricate as I tried to be quick."
They came up one by one, each receiving one. Until one of the Sky Orcs voiced out upon inspecting his. "What is this?"
That same orc then said. "Although the design is simple and plain, the runes are precise and pure. This is beyond just simple enchanting, and the band itself... Its durability is beyond regular steel made products. Not brittle yet hard, and just flexible enough that it will not harm its wearer." Everyone watched with interest and amazement, as they did not think much of it before he said something.
This orc then ran back over to Yueliang and said while kneeling with his fist over his chest. "My king, please, teach me these techniques. I will gladly tell you whatever you want to know or give you what you want."
Yueliang then replied to this man. "I just know the basics, however if it is of use to you, I will gladly help you out. You do not have to pay me anything, however if we could learn from each other I would be very grateful."
"Of course, and my name is Lancelot. I love crafting, and inventing things. Either way, I look forward to working with you in the future." Lancelot replied quite happily whist also respectful.
"As do I" Yueliang said to Lancelot then continued giving out the arm bands.
*So as to explain why the orcs do not know some of the things Yueliang knows or even get surprised by him, that is because although they do have his memories and knowledge, they do not have what is engraved in his mind and soul by the system. Of course Yue figured this out based on deduction. Also, they will not receive any of his memories from after the contract was made, just before and during.*
"Well, thank you everyone for coming, and you may get back to your research or whatever it is you want to do. I will let you know about the jobs and you may pick what suits you later. I must head to school and do my finals quickly so I can graduate. So I will see you all later my friends." Yueliang said as he left the hall and building to head back to Tsinghua University.
---- About 6 hours later ----
"My tests are finally over. Phew." Yue sighed happily yet tired. 'I guess I should head back home and await the results. Hopefully I have gotten a high score, I do not want my results to drop because of impatience.' He thought to himself as he yawned while walking back to his place.
"Hand over all of your credits." A hooded man said from behind Yueliang.
"What credits? I am but a student?" Yueliang replied slowly raising his hands upon feeling the gun on his back.
"Try that garbage again and I will shoot you. I know you are of the noble lineage of Haizi." The man said.
"If you know that much you should be of noble lineage yourself, thus you also know that I do not receive my inheritance until after my service." Yueliang said, then slowly started turning around.
"Tch, do not turn around. What a waste of time, keep walking." The man said.
"Well, if you want some money why not work for me?" Although I do not have my inheritance, I have started a business that I am working on.
"Nice offer, however no. Just sign it over to me and you will be just fine." The man said.
"Huh" Yueliang sighed then said. "It is sad that some people cannot accept a blessing but insist on a curse." He then activated sprint and dash, leaned forward quickly and lifted is left leg kicking the gun into the air. Then turned around all in one fluid motion, caught the gun by the barrel, and as the man turned around to run, Yueliang tossed the gun at the back of his head trying not to kill him but just knock him out.
Yueliang walked over, examined the man and saw no form of identification. Then picked him up and started carried him back to his building. Fortunately the street he was attacked on was not very popular or it would have been more complicated. Then thought 'I guess it is time for some questioning. This man is really odd, I wonder where he is from.'

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
