《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

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

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

8 137So What If I'm The Villainess?
A 27-year-old, stubborn and arrogant cop dies after fighting off a criminal in the city port. She gets reincarnated into a web comic story as a villainess named Roanne Imrora. In the original story, Lady Roanne was labelled a traitor for scheming with an enemy kingdom and trying to kill the heroine who caused her broken engagement with the first prince of Valbara.

8 198Blood Drinker
What happens when someone dies? Obviously, they stay dead just kidding they reincarnate, sometimes they get to revisit worlds they have lived before sometimes new, so do good or bad deeds matter? No, it definitely does, chances of being reborn into what your desire increase, or if your bad into what you hate. Each life is supposed to be a learning process for your soul to make amends to fight for what you believe in. Some souls are tainted and they continue to taint themselves and the others around, so too does the opposite happen. Kindred souls are drawn together and they can bring calamity or salvation to their respective worlds. But what does this have to do with the story well, our friend Alexander is reborn into a world of magic but of course that’s not enough to mention him, no the true reason we will follow his story is because much like there are those who claim to remember their past life, he truly does have a head start in his case. Author's Note: Thanks for taking your time to read my first try at writing. English is my first language, so please correct me on anything that sounds wrong. I'll try to write it once a week, sometimes more if I feel like I’m on a roll but please I hope this stays a pleasant experience for us both.
8 189Just Luck
In books of legends, there exists a tale of a person with the ability to change the world to hand down justice on those who inflict pain and suffering. In return, the person who wielded this power would live a life filled with misfortune. Parents would read this story to their children as a deterrent to bad behaviour but little did they know that this story was true. Genre: Action, Drama, Fantasy, Tragedy, Romance
