Master Of None Chapter 122
Advertisement
" the Demi humans as you Know are a race that has an extreme variation in ability. Unlike humans they are similar in respect to monsters when it comes to systems. For example you as a human can have a system that gives you magic skills. A monster would have a system that is related to what species it is. A Demi human would have a system that builds from their beast traits. A reptilian Demi human that has the blood of snakes may have a system that grants them abilities a snake species of monster would have. Poison, scales, heightened smell, cold blood, and many more. These effect them physically, but where things become interesting is that their system will zero in on the species of snake. Say it's a flame serpent then maybe the Demi human would have skills related to fire such as fire immunity, fire ball, and maybe even flame healing. This makes the Demi humans thought to be halfway between monsters and humans. The similarities are why humans can get along with them to a degree, specifically tamers. However the opposite is true of elves and Demi humans. Elves detest monsters due to their chaotic actions therefore they often do not get along with Demi humans. The dwarves often get along with Demi humans because they appreciate physical strength which most Demi humans have in abundance. Other races like the demons are not so kind to any race, they often like to aggravate the Demi humans tempers since they are like monsters." This speech was one most of the staff learned for when parties would travel toward the Demi human lands for the first time.
"Wait so does that mean there are some that have monster traits?" Remey had taken an interest, her thoughts coming to midnight. We're there Demi humans who were part dragon?

"Yes as I said they have traits of monsters and animals. I know you may be thinking of midnight your little dragon. However it is normal for those that have such traits to live with intelligent monsters to rule them. In the case of a dragon like Demi human they may become servants to the ancient dragons who have villages in the mountains. That's a whole other lesson on the dragon kin, if I talk on that topic we could be here for many hours. The reason I mentioned a Demi human with monster abilities may rule over intelligent monsters of the same trait is simple, power. Due to their traits they could have the strengths and skills of said monsters but the higher intelligence of a human. End of the day by manipulating the monsters they often become somewhat of their own breed of villain. The Demi human kingdom constantly tries to put an end to these individuals. Don't go thinking they are all bad however, some Demi humans use their monster traits to create peaceful solutions. I believe I recently heard a story of a Demi human with wasp like traits that was able to communicate with a queen wasp to stop killing farmers in an apple orchard. Now instead the giant wasps act as guards for the farmers greatly increasing their harvest. This was because of the Demi humans traits and skills which brought about advantage to both. Increased harvest and safety for farmers along with the freedom to grow and consume the invaders of the fields for the giant wasps. A win win." Clara like to remember such stories. Hearing of those who used their unique situations to benefit a large amount of people was inspiring.
Remey was trying to process all this information. Knowing that some monsters reported to a Demi human it could be challenging to fight in the Demi human lands. Gil had though the exact same thing, "so how do we know if a monster is doing something like guarding an orchard? Is there any way to tell the difference between them and a wild monster that could attack at any moment? Why if we defeat a monster that we aren't supposed to?" All valid questions.

"That's exactly the reason you should listen to the tamers guild, they can point out special markings often given to such monsters. It's a skill that Demi humans often have to identify those under their leadership. Even more so if you see the citizens in the Demi human cities or towns they will often have tattoos showing which noble they serve under. Now it's not expected that a person memorize every possible identification of every noble or leader but the tamers should teach you the most important three or five." This has been a long standing tradition since before the Demi humans had formed a nation. They started many many years ago as tribes fighting amongst themselves for territory. They would tattoo their tribe members to show they belonged and represent them in battle. The tradition lasted through the ages and became their own form of social ranking.
"Finally!" Laurence had filled out the last form and dramatically dropped the stack on the counter. "Miss Clara I would like to hand in these forms to creat a request!"
"Of course, I will file this for you and send the necessary quest to the specified party. Pleas look for a notification from your system in the coming days for acceptance or denial." Clara switched modes and was giving Laurence the speech she was taught when she started working at the guild.
The look on Laurence's face was one of pleading. He didn't know if he could fill it all out again without breaking. Monsters attacking by surprise? He could handle it. Elise driving him crazy with questions? He could handle it. Paperwork? Well he might just fail to survive. This was the bane of his very existence.
Glancing at walker "so if I remember right you wanted to go get some training done right? I know we took up too much time here. I do apologize for rushing out so suddenly but I did promise my friends here I would train with them. Until next time miss Clara." Laurence grabbed Riley and Elise by the arm practically dragging them out. This took all of Clara's strength not to loose her poker face and laugh out loud.

Mana World - Convergence
The story is complete it was a prototype and it is BAD.I do not recommend reading it, I will not edit it in any form, it is still here as a personal remained of how bad I was at the start. Mages are soo cool but without mana you can't become a mage. Well let's see how we can get mana to this world. I'm sure it would be a perfectly safe and excellent idea. First try at writing something like this. Dunno if I will update constantly or not, dunno what will happen with the story and the characters. Recipe: 3 cubic meters of science, 5 shit tons of pseudo science, 2 dantians of mistycism,1/2 cup of stupid references, 1 package of sarcasm, 1/400 tolkien epicness, 1 tea spoon of stupid commentaries, a pinch of craziness and dressed with randomness, uppps, too much randomness. Accepting all kinds of constructive criticism. Well prologue is finished.
