《The day I became World Administrator》7. Exploration and theorization
Advertisement
On great plains overlooking the earth, perched above a huge rock formation in the middle of the starry night, a strange white light illuminated the silent night darkness that had become so everyday.
Alas, no one was there to admire this strange phenomenon. Apart from a few insects, the little conscious life could not really observe the magnificent reflections that the Vestments of Aura could create on the surface of the few ponds and streams dotting the ground.
It was here and in the night that Isaac walked quietly and slowly between the woods, branches and tree trunks fallen to the ground, a basket in his hands.
Observing the contents of the basket, he counted the number of mushrooms and apples he had been able to harvest. He then began to sigh with satisfaction and resumed his walk.
A week had passed since he had arrived in this new world, and what discoveries had he made during his escapades in the strange place where he had appeared.
From what he could understand, the place he was in was nothing other than a sort of "Garden of Eden". The first garden on which the Administrator had experimented with all kinds of plants to be able to populate his world.
From flowers producing Mana, fire or water to a tree whose sap when extracted could be used to heal any other plant being, another whose sap also had the same properties as that of a maple tree. . Which, after boiling it for a long enough time, will give a magnificent maple syrup with a particularly sweet taste.
During this week, Isaac explored a large part of the plain and could thus distinguish its borders. He found no path to descend or ascend between the High Plains and the Wild Plains.
Besides, it would also explain the fact that there are no animals here. Without a place to access, it would not be possible for them to enter the plains. But that did not explain the total absence of flying animals.

Certainly, birds could very well have flown here and made their nests safe from predators and other animals. Yet, for the whole week, Isaac did not see any. The plain was so lifeless and silent despite the bugs that he almost thought this planet was void of life.
"Maybe he only likes plants?" Isaac wondered, thinking of what the previous Admin might have done or thought. But he quickly shook the idea out of his mind.
"In his last post he said I was more powerful than the average in this world, so logically there should be other entities like me. At least animals, I hope." He said to himself.
During these few days of exploration, Isaac was also able to set up a small, very fast camp in the hollow of a large tree overlooking one of the forests. Its trunk, easily nearly 30 meters in diameter, had a small cavity in height in which the young man could abnormally easily climb.
After a little planning and adaptation, he also wove baskets with dried leaves and lianas that had fallen from the tree. To his surprise, the vast majority of these were extremely hard and smooth, making them very slippery.
To cut them, Isaac had to use his aura, focusing on the spot he wanted to cut and unleashing an intense burst of energy. After which, the vine would tear to pieces and be cut in half, although not very neatly.
However, Isaac was not returning to his camp. Over the past few days, he had noticed that he didn't need to sleep. Or rather, that he was never tired enough to want to sleep.
Also and by force, most of the time, he spent his nights walking around. Although he could eat, he was never really hungry which was extremely strange. However, eating gave him some form of satisfaction although it had little effect on his body really, and so he continued to taste the delicious fruits that this garden had to offer.

And how many fruits he had.
Isaac had formulated several theories. But one of them stood out called: "Theory of Spiritual Entropy". His theory was based on two fundamental principles of physics: Energy is not lost, it is transformed; Energy tends to diffuse and equalize the space around at the same energy level also called entropy.
These two theoretical principles have made it possible to explain many things in Physics. And here they could probably also give an idea of what was going on.
In theory, his present body was only a "Body Wrap" and that his "Spirit Field" or possibly his mind is a form of energy. By combining this information, it is possible to theorize that his spiritual field probably has a fairly large amount of energy.
This glut of energy compared to the low amount of energy in and around his body probably seems to be leaking through his body through his connection between his mind and body, creating the white aura that he wears. constantly around him.
Assuming this theory to be true, it is thus possible that the energy that overflows from his mind could "repair" his body, as a function of automatic regeneration. The overflowing energy probably converting into life energy, Mana or matter directly? All that remained was to prove the idea.
However, this assumption provides explanations for the extraordinary abilities he had gained, notably his ability to be able to easily climb trees and carry loads that he would never dare to carry before.
As a result, it is thus possible that states of hunger, thirst or fatigue are considered to be lack of energy. If the energy in his mind is constantly overflowing, it makes sense to consider that the energy required for his body to function, more commonly protein, water and other elements, is produced from energy conversion. fleeing from its Spiritual Field.
Of course, this theory is only a theory. But the idea seems plausible, only remains to prove it and learn more.
However, if this theory were to be true, then he would have a big problem. "If I were to stay in one place for very long, then the surroundings would be charged with energy. I can't imagine the side effects that can have."
Among these side effects, Isaac had thought about natural or magical disasters including mana storms or the creation of monsters. Although undesirable, this theory also had some form of logic.
In all RPGs and fantasy worlds, monsters appear all over the place on a regular basis. If the Spiritual Entropy theory is true, then if it is applied on a large scale, the larger a population, the more developed and successful a civilization should be and the greater the spiritual energy released. Which, in the long term, would therefore create the appearance of catastrophes and monsters, the difficulty of which would increase proportionally with the power of civilization.
"Ultimately, such a system would be quite logical to implement if one wishes to force its inhabitants to develop but not too easily to avoid making them complacent" thought Isaac.
He continued to walk, thinking of all sorts of things, and continued to explore this new forest that he had not yet explored.
Like all the other forests, this one was dark and dense. Probably cold and damp, but with his aura, Isaac had no way of knowing. He then continued his walk, going deeper and deeper, let's take a little time when he discovered a new plant and observed it.
So far, only two new plants in the plain appeared to have spoken descriptions. All the other plants that Isaac encountered so far had no accompanying description. He therefore had to try to guess their function instinctively and by observation.
With time and adaptation to observing different plants for clues, his vision of Mana had improved a lot, allowing him to now differentiate several subtleties.
Subtleties that gave rise to new theories and in particular the one he expected the most: "Magic"

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated.

Sustaining the King's Life
On a secluded mountain situated upon a kingdom known as Feuersturm, resides a seemingly trifling cabin with an unlikely duo as its inhabitant—a witch, and her apprentice who presumably comes from a clan sought after by slave traders. Faustina is a sixteen-year-old girl who fled the slave market with the help of a sickly witch named Eula, who later on trained her as an apprentice for the span of seven years. Plagued with a mysterious disease for several years, Eula died despite the efforts Faustina had exerted to cure her; in her last breath, she left an odd request behind. "Sustain the king's life. This is your duty. Do not adhere to the prophecy." To which the odd plea shadowed a bizarre series of events, a consequential sentence, similar to that of a premonition. The same night the phrase was muttered, the chain of events followed: A warlock's intrusion to their home, with a peculiar yearning to resurrect Eula from the dead... and the king himself, asking for Faustina’s aid. ** 1-2 chapters a day (GMT+8) ** (The artwork belongs to me.
