"Measurements shall come to you at a glance. The right material to create elegance is second nature. The balance between practicality and beauty is your art."
...
That's the short and sweet of how Lisa gained her system at such a young age. Since then Walker had been bombarded constantly with "what did you do today brother!" "Did you unlock it yet" "what will you try tomorrow?". Endless questions that continued even now at the dinner table.
"Walker, how long is left?" Inquired Hilda.
" I spent ten whole hours with Father today trying to find something that leaves me with three hours left. I even tried sneaking up behind him while he was distracted, trying for a rogue or hunter system." Replied walker
"I know it's tough honey, I've introduced you to everyone I know, the butcher, the carpenter, the toy maker, and even a cart driver. With your last few hours try whatever you can, don't worry about going to sleep on time" Hilda's voice reassured with a slight sense of worry. "But you Lisa I know you've been slacking on fixing that hole in your hooded robe and if it isn't fixed before you go to bed there will not be any breakfast for you!" The stern motherly gaze pierced Lisa who quickly cleaned her plate and rushed to the bedroom to grab her sewing needles.
"I'll help clean the table and dishes, maybe I'll unlock a master cleaning system." Joked Walker. With that Garet went to clean himself after work and Hilda returned to the kitchen to prepare for tomorrow's usual customers.
No one can say cleaning is the most fun thing ever but if that's how Walker unlocked his system maybe it's worth it. Walker constantly thought this way. Maybe I'll try this, could be this, how about just one shot at this. He had tried easily over a thousand different things in his fifteen years. With two hours left I'll try some attack actions. Maybe I can still be an adventurer and travel! Walker thought to himself. The comical scene of Walker jumping around the kitchen with a butter knife was not an uncommon one for children but still held a sense of stress now that less than two hours remained.

"Ahhhh!" A high pitched scream echoed from Lisa's bedroom followed by fast footsteps.
"Walker! Walker! Walker! I poked myself with my needle, fix it it's huurrttts." Begged Lisa with small tears in her eyes. Walker had become used to this the past two years as his sister always ran to him when she had slipped while sewing. He was always able to bandage her up and quell the small tears that burdened her.
"You know I saw a healer the other day use a spell called light heal, want me to give it a try?" Walker asked knowing the possibility of trying something new would distract Lisa from her pin prick pain.
Knowing he was still level zero and had no system he had no hope it would work. The stats of a level zero were sad to say the least and all that he could do was watch the timer countdown.

Knowing he would probably just have to go grab a bandage he still placed his hands above his sister's small hand and copied the healer he had seen earlier. "Light heal!"Walker said firmly. However no green healing light was produced instead a resounding ding and a new message appeared.
'You have met the requirements, The Jack of All Trades System has been activated. Congratulations!'

One Eyed Ghoul; a Tokyo Ghoul fanfic.
A for want of a nail fic I write in between moments when I'm working on my original story. Originally posted on FanFiction.net, but brought over here to allow people to compare it to my original work if they wish. The premise is as follows: Hide decides to pay Ken an early visit in the hospital. He cares too much to let his friend recover alone. A tiny change to the sequence of events, an entirely different story. Some bloody scenes, but no worse than the original story offered.
8 208A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
