《My Magical System 》Chapter 42: Under the moon
Advertisement
When night came, they lighted a giant bonfire while surrounded by all recruited soldiers that managed to survive. They were participating in a vigil to pray for the departed soul of their fallen comrades.
Yeman, on the other hand, was strolling around, he was walking towards that place. The place where he regained his consciousness in this world.
He already did a promise that if ever he survived, he would light up a candle for that guy.
Ahead of him, he saw it, about 50 steps from his current location. The place was plain grounds. No trees or plants, just scarce grass and even ground. It's already night time and the surrounding was dark but his perception was too high, it could reach to 100 meters radius. So darkness is nothing for him.
He ambled towards the area until he arrived. Here in this place, he substituted that person. The first owner of his body. The person they called Eman.
After arriving at the exact location. He opened his Window Interface. Then he tapped on the Market section. He proceeded to the Otherworld products. Good thing that there was a market selection from otherworld items.
There were even modern weapons, but they cost a lot of soul points.
A list of items from earth suddenly appeared in the column.
Yeman scrolled down and up to find the item he was looking for. After several seconds later, he finally saw it. Then he tapped the <Buy> choices.
A second later, a candle and lighter appeared on his hand.
He sat on the ground in a cross-legged, then he lightened the candle and uprooted.
A moment of silence before he opened his mouth.
"Even though... we don't know each other, we shared the same body. So for me, you're like a brother of mine. The truth is, it might be not a good idea to thank you for presenting this life, but... thank you anyway.
Although I couldn't promise you that I guarantee a better life to your sister, I will try to give her a peaceful life that out of danger as long as I am here.
I don't know what kind of life you had when your alive, I don't know what's your worries, I don't know what's your ambition, but... I don't want to know either.
The truth is, No one besides me has known that you had passed by in this world. And no one knows how you heroically did it in order to save more lives in exchange for yours. Since the people here only assumed the surface and didn't dwell into the deep of it. So they failed to notice why you did that. I couldn't even tell them the truth. Sorry about that.

I know It is sad to die without your loves one or family knowing about it. But I won't promise to tell them the truth either. Since if I did that, my existence would be unnecessary to them. And in this world.
In exchange for that, I will become a good brother to your sister. And a good nephew to your uncle either.
My only request for you is to leave all your worries to me and continued in your journey."
He said in a not too loud or low voice.
"What are you doing here? And what are you talking about?" Sudden throws of questions from behind him.
Based on the voice, he could figure out that this voice was from that girl again. He already knows that someone was around. But he didn't care anyway.
Hah~ He sighed. The truth was, he really doesn't want to talk with this girl. She was hard to deal with.
"Did you follow me here?" He asked another question as a reply to her, without even glancing at his back. He was wondering if what's the deal with this girl. The mission had already finished, so no need for her to look for him.
"Don't get the wrong idea! Who knows what you're planning," she said in a slightly loud voice.
"Hey, girl, don't just assume. You sounded like I have an evil plan. Don't you see how ordinary of a person I am?" he said while glancing at here.
"Oh really? Why do I feel that you tricked us?" She said while gazing at his sitting back with doubt.
"....."
Yeman was speechless for a second. Now he really doesn't understand this kind of girl. He wondered if this girl figured out his secret.
"Uhm, if you came here following me just to throw tantrum again, then I left you now," he said casually without minding her anger.
He already finished his business in this place anyway so he decided to stand and going back to the camp. He just hopes that this girl didn't know his secret yet.
"Wait!" She shouted. But she noticed that the guy had ignored her.
Yeman didn't glance at her and continued walking towards the direction of the camp. Suddenly, wooshing sounds reached his ears.
He slightly twists his head to the left. A sharp sound of piercing an air reached his ears. Followed by a slender white arm that passed through at 1-centimeter distance from his face.

His expression was somewhat tranquil. He really doesn't want to hurt a girl. But Yeman thought that this girl needs a little punishment.
He caught her forearm using his left hand. Then he stepped back a little his right foot and catch her underarm using his right hand.
He applied a little force to his arms and push her body upward then smack it on the ground in front of him.
With a thud sound. She was smashed on the ground with back first. Everything happened so quickly. Mina was dumbfounded. She wasn't even able to give a slight resistance when her body was lifted up then smashed to the ground
Though he didn't apply much force on it, she still able to feel the pain as she twisted her body while massaging her back. Even though she was a magician and had a strong body, but being smashed onto the ground still made anyone felt the pain.
"Ugh." She groaned.
"Hey, hey, silly girl," he said as he sat in a knee. While staring down at her in an inverted way.
"Y-Y-You." She stammered her words while trying to look straight at him in a close eye.
Yeman looking at her straight in the eyes.
"If you keep doing like that, I wouldn't be gentle at you the next time..." he said with a mocking smile on his face and darted his eyes to the two mountains on her chest.
She was staring at his eyes as he mumbled those words. Mina didn't know why, but this guy's eyes were somewhat different from his usual eyes. She was sure that he had brown eyes before. But right now, they became-- beautiful red agate.
Even the bright moon behind his head was unnoticeable because of his red eyes that gleaming in this dark.
She was in a trance while staring at those two. But for some reason, those two eyes wandered around at her chest area with a gulping sound.
She quickly used her hands to cover it while staring daggers at him.
"P-Perv..." she mumbled with furrowed brows.
Yeman let out a sigh. It looks like she didn't hear what he was talking about. He wanted to scare her but it backfired at him.
He decided to stand up but before he could walk... "hey," she called him.
Yeman glanced at her, "why?"
"I couldn't walk, " she said flatly. He glanced at her feet.
He saw blood gushing on it. It looks like he accidentally smashed her foot in an edge-stone. Now her right foot was bleeding.
Hah~ he let a sigh again.
With a flung of his hand, an old man about 50-60 years old appeared before him. He was wearing a hooded robe. Which covered all over his body.
Mina was surprised. She couldn't understand what was happening. Someone just appeared from thin airs. Not just that, it kneeled before that guy while saying "My lord, it's good to see you again."
Then she saw the guy nodded at the old man while tapping his shoulder. It looks like he whispered something on the old man.
After that, the old man chanted a spell. Then Mina's right foot was enveloped by green lights. And her wounds slowly healed.
After a few seconds, the wounds healed without leaving a tiny scar.
When the old man saw her wound healed, he bowed slightly to the guy, after he nodded, the old man figure slowly fade until he has gone without a trace.
"If you want to stay here then I leave you, " said the guy to her.
She stood up quickly and tried to get rid of the dirt on her body. But before she followed his back, she took a glance at the candle standing alone on the ground.
She was puzzled why? She's wondering what happened to this person became that strong. She bit her lip.
She was supposed to be stronger now since she ranked up. But why she was easily defeated by that guy? After a second, she absent-mindedly followed his back.
She couldn't think clearly.
The two of them walked towards the camp under the moon.
Sometimes she took glances at him. Wondering why this guy suddenly change. He somewhat more matured than before.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
