《I'm a brick! But why am I a Humanoid? [A Non-Level LitRPG with a Humanoid MC full of Magic, Drama and Comedic Undertone]》Chapter 8- Where a Meemauy does Meemauy things

I woke up once again to the flying windows accosting me. I must find a way to rid myself of their influence.
Your titled land has been changed to the offplanet colony of Launeior
You have given entity ‘Ariana Arlford’ permission to alter your holdings. As a designated guardian she does not require additional permissions despite you being a minor.
Entity Ariana Arlford has added a Titled Mana Stone to your territory. Launeior is now an independent territory. As a minor you have no right of governance. All rights are transferred to Entity Ariana Arlford.
Entity Ariana Arlford has shifted tectonic plates...Error! Tectonic shifting spells were banned by the system in year 135 of the Algrean Calendar. Error resolved, Entity Ariana Arlford used force magic. Entity is now responsible for exploiting 970 system loopholes. Launeior is now a bountiful land. It receives +10 to all agricultural efforts

As a minor you gain no bonuses.
The King of Mistrane has refused to acknowledge the independence of Launeior.
You receive -300 reputation in Mistrane. Launeior is now hostile with Mistrane.
The Arlford family is now mistrusted by the Kingdom of Mistrane. All bonuses are voided by the King...Error! The King, under the constitution of Mistrane has no right to void any bonuses. Bonuses restored.
I have graduated. I just let the flying sheets pass by. Wait...I should have read them too right?Oops. Good thing I can bring them back. I learnt how to yesterday.
Go to Notifications. Then go to Log. Click on specific Notifications. Hmm lets see...wait what? When did I give some Entity my land? No no no that is exactly how three successive dynasties fell. Stupid people hiring administrators. Wait, no right of governance? Doesn’t that mean I would have had to hire one anyway? Hmm...this Entity has made some good decisions. According to Schalinger’s System for Dummies, more points are always good. But aren’t I a Noble of Mistrane? No, wait I'm a Noble of the Kingdom of Mistrane. What does that mean? I need someone to tell me! Should I ask Father? Where is he anyway? He disappeared after dropping me in the Library. Apparently I went mad? Why doesn’t the system show that? So many questions. I must have answers to them all!

Huh there’s someone before me. Who? Wait I have a mouth now...I can just ask.
“Who are you?” I ask
“Me? Oh you dear boy I am your Meemauy!” the figure said
“What’s a Meemauy?” I asked, puzzled
“A Meemauy is family! Your closest family!” The figure...apparently a Meemauy answered.
“So...can you tell me where I can find Entity Adriana Arlford?” I asked, “ Apparently she’s administrating my territory.”
“Well that would be me!” Meemauy said “ Like my changes?”
“ Yes...but is making an enemy of the Kingdom we are nobles of a good idea?” I asked...a bit too hesitantly.
“Well aren’t we a smart baby! Those intelligence points are clearly not wasted.” Meemauy answered '' But you see, there’s a little problem in your assumption. Mistrane is but a minor power you Great-Great-Grandad joined on a whim. They can’t do anything other than whine a bit.”
Huh that’s a unique administrative nightmare right there. Given the woman’s 900+ system loopholes, I expect she’s been a nuisance for the King for a long time. Imagine you add a new law after much effort and suddenly an old bat says, “Nah, too much effort.” and your law is useless.
Time for more questions!
“So, where exactly is my Father.” as soon as I asked the question, Meemauy’s face scrunched up in irritation.Oops, Father was in trouble...
“Your Father is a well meaning man...that is sadly too influenced by that wife of his.Politics,Politics, I swear that is all this family thinks about. There are about three hundred children of various ages that have been deposited in this Library just so their parents can go play politics! Let's see them politic now, Life is not measured by the amount of success you know! You kid better not follow your dad into politics! Become an author or something...Oh wait, I made you a Head of State didn’t I? Don’t worry, I’ll administer your county for the rest of your life for you. Isn’t much work anyway with that administrative system in place.” Meemauy...ranted? Was that a rant? It didn’t seem long enough to be a rant...Should I ask...No No No, definitely not asking the super irritated Meemauy here if she’s ranting.But what should I ask? Let’s see...Magic! Should stop her from ranting, and getting me into even more trouble.

“So...I got a lot of numbers...what’s an affinity exactly?” I asked
“They didn’t tell you that either huh. Created this entire mess, but bloody irresponsible fools couldn’t tell you what magic was.” Meemauy said “Magic young one is one of the driving forces of Algrean civilization. Without it we would be completely powerless against the forces of nature. Every person, of whatever birth is born with a specialty. They can be good at magic, or have a high intelligence,Or even have a very attractive body. The trick to life on Algrea is finding that specialty. For me the specialty is care. I care about people, especially my family, that’s why I get so angry when they do something so foolish.”
“Magic, especially its affinities, are one of the great sources of specialties. You little one have a high Fire and Earth affinity and a frankly absurd Space affinity. It’s why Laureia is such a good fit for you, it is after all the greatest repository of space-centric sites ever found.I wonder why you have that affinity, but affinities are something we have never been able to explain.” Meemauy continued
“Now if you want some information on affinities, the system has a page for you, you can open it in by clicking on any affinity.” Meemauy finished for the moment
I then opened my status

Deeper Darker
Set in the far future when humanity has reached the stars and finds it is not the first to do so. Alien technology has been left behind by a long dead race. Ancient cities, abandoned starships, temples and fortified bunkers all contain artefacts and devices far in advance of what humans have been able to produce. Technology that feels more akin to magic, so powerful it can allow a single person to dominate a star system. But these relics of another time have been left well-defended and behind bewildering and impenetrable security measures.There are those who are compatible with the alien technology, who can augment themselves to face the evermore extreme protocols in the depths of the alien ruins, and by doing so attain greater power. And there are those who just want to sell what they find to the highest bidder.The rewards are high, but you have to be prepared to go further and risk more to discover the greatest secrets of a civilisation that vanished long before the first human walked upright. Secrets that could irrevocably change humanity’s future, or end it.
8 456Drunk Dungeon
This is a story about a man who not only enters the dungeon drunk, but the dungeon indirectly supports this habit. The only question now was what would kill him first, the dungeon or his liver? Author: This is a story based on a daydream I had after reading some dungeon stories. It's also in first person past tense. Cover art by Julian the Apostate#7406 on Discord.

8 75War Slaves - [Writathon Participant]
Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge When humanity was summoned to another world and forced to fight a war they never asked for due to a slave spell; Aron, a man with a dark past, will do everything to ensure the safety of his pregnant wife, even if it costs him what is left from his humanity.
8 108Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.
