《My Magical System 》Chapter 61: Magician's Seed
Advertisement
What he saw inside were old clothes that hung neatly. Underneath it, he noticed something that was being covered by a cloth.
Yeman picked on it and uncover. He was greeted by an old looking notebook. No, only the color of the book and pages that looked old. But he assumed it was not old. Even the pages were no visible folded mark.
The cover was vaguely designed. A faded green colored with lines erected, and something like an animal with big eyes sticking on it. He thought it was a painting of bamboo tubes and a koala. But the color was faded.
Though there was something different by this koala and the koala on earth. But Yeman pushed this thought at the back of his head.
He was wondering and curious about what this book was.
Later, he figured out that it was a diary. Eman's diary.
He sat down on the bed while drowning himself into reading it. While he was reading farther, his brows knitted and his eyes glinted. Even his face showed dark shades on it.
Like he was possessed by something evil. The words and letters inside the diary were written in a foreign type of language for him, yet, the irises of his eyes were like a typewriter as it follows every sentence of this diary.
He was reading it fast, faster than the normal person could do. In his vision, the translated versions of the writing were unceasingly popping out.
Thump! Not even 20 minutes that had passed when the diary he was holding made a slight thumping sound after he folded it again.
Yeman was unaware of what kind of face he was wearing at the moment. He was surfacing a face with vague emotion.
Deep inside he was sighing in regret. Regret for that person. He decided to restore the diary inside his system storage.
He wanted to reread it later. And the truth was, he was halfway only before he finished reading it all. He folded it and restored it because he noticed someone standing behind the close door of his room.
|Looks like, they had finished cooking.| He thought.

A moment later, Yeman heard knocking sounds which he already expected. He even knew who was behind that door. Her loving sister, Eina.
As he opened the door. Eina excitedly announces that the foods had been cooked and they were going to eat.
She was dragging her brother's hand towards the dining table.
He saw Uncle Ronny already sitting cross-legged on the matted floor. Aunt Claire, on the other hand, was preparing foods. Yeman and Eina went and sat also.
They were having a joyful dinner. Yeman couldn't help praising of how delicious it was. Finally, he was able to taste a good dinner. After coming into this world. He only tasted bland foods from the ration they got. He even secretly bought foods from his market. But now, he finally tasted decent food from another world!
This was one of the things made him excited after coming into this another world, to taste the foods in here.
But it was a let down that he only tasted those same rations every morning for more than a month.
Now finally, he tasted it. Aunt Claire and Eina were happily staring at him.
"Brother, how is it?!" Eina asked him.
"Mhm, xo—-gawd!" He was about to say 'so good', but his mouth was full that the words came out wrongly.
Eina giggled at her brother's reply.
The three then were laughing at Yeman.
...
A big burping sound escaped as he rested himself on the house balcony. Yeman was sitting while staring at the moon that was raising unnoticeable by the eyes.
They just finished the happy dinner. His sister Eina was napping while making him a lap pillow. He could even hear her slow breathing.
In Yeman's eyes, the bright moon was reflected on it.
He was thinking how such a girl had suffered after her Magic Seed was forcibly taken out from her by those people.
While reading the word Magic Seed, he thought that maybe it was like a magic source of the magicians. Or maybe it was.
It was stated in Eman's diary, that the 7 years old Eina was kidnapped by an unknown group of people. Eman that time was about to lose his mind for thinking where his sister was.

Uncle Ronny and Aunt Claire were sent to the border at that time. Only the two kids were left in this house.
Eman that time was 12 years old only.
He went to the mountain with a large basket hanging on his back to gather some herbs, for him to sell at the city. Many magicians who were making medicines and drugs would buy it at an unfair price.
But Eman sold it to them anyway. He needed money after all. And he was just a kid at that time.
Later, after coming down the mountain with a basket that was full of herbs, he went directly to this house to take a quick glance on his sister. Just like he always did before going to the city.
That time of the day, he couldn't see her. His heart started racing. He rounded the entire house hoping that she was playing around. But he could not find her no matter what he did.
He decided to search around the place. But still no shadow of his sister. He went into the neighboring house to asked for his sister's whereabouts. But no one noticed her.
Until one friend of him reported that he saw some guy wearing that kind of clothing. And with them was his unconscious little sister.
Eman was shocked. And his body unconsciously ran towards the place stated by his friend. But it was too late for him. The people who took his sister were already left with her.
He doesn't know where they took her. And he doesn't know who took her. Since the people who took his sister were wearing clothes all over their body. Only the burn mark that was formed like a skull on one of the man's left forearm was the only clue he got from his friend.
Ronny and Claire at that time were tasked to defend one of the borders of the empire. And the mission lasted for 5 months. They succeeded in defending it with the expenses of many lives.
Four and a half months had passed after Eina was kidnapped by unknown people. Eina was found in front of this house. Blankly staring at the house. She looks thin and ill.
When Eman saw her, he could not tell how he felt that time. He had felt mixtures of emotions; sad, regret, joy and etc....
He also found out a sad truth. That his sister had lost her memory and she could not use any magic after that time.
Uncle Ronny and Aunt Claire were shocked when they know it.
After that, Aunt Claire had decided to retire. So, the thing won't happen again. But Eman knows that it was too late. His sister already suffered. But he felt glad for Aunt Claire anyway.
...
Yeman was sadly staring at her sleeping face while brushing her brown silky hair with his hand.
But his eyes were gleaming with hatred.
Minutes later, Aunt Claire went to the balcony and Yeman asked to send Eina into the bed.
Now he was staring at the moon alone. He decided to get up after an hour. He noticed that the others were already asleep.
In front of this house was a field of grains. They were growing tall. Looks like the area had fertile land.
He was walking steadily towards it. Like he was just going for a walk.
But his eyes were gleaming. That even the death himself would have a second thought to approach him.
Now he was in front of the large grain field. He stopped his step and stood in front of it.
He already knew that these guys would come tonight. Good thing that he happened to read that diary.
In his perception, he perceives about 30 silhouettes.
But Yeman was standing alone without a tinge of fear that he felt.
He even felt joy at the moment. He doesn't need to seek for them, because they instead seeking for their deaths.
One after another head peeking out of the grain field.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.
