《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret
Advertisement
Merlin had also just understood the rules in the Dark Magic Region from the words of the gray-robed Wizard. Spell Casters who had entered the Dark Magic Region would have their Dark Magic rings confiscated and sent out the Dark Magic Region if they did not become a First-level spell Caster within three years.
The sensuous and beautiful Laurinka before him had yet to become a First-level spell Caster although it seemed that three years were almost up. She would soon face the risk of being sent out the Dark Magic Region.
"Your Mind Power should have reached a high enough level to construct a First-level spell, right? How can it be that you've not yet become a First-level spell Caster?"
Merlin was somewhat curious. Laurinka, who was in front of him, might have a worse quality of Mind Power than Merlin, but in three years, her Mind Power had already grown to a level comparable to that of a First-level spell Caster. The only thing left was to construct a First-level spell.
There was a strange expression on Laurinka's face. She turned her head to look at Merlin weirdly before saying in a low voice, "My Mind Power is enough of course, but could it be that you don't know the most difficult part of being a Spell Caster is the construction of Spell Models?"
"Construction of Spell Models? How difficult is it? There are many Spell Models in the Dark Magic Region, and most of them have been created by powerful Spell Casters so their stability must be pretty good. So it should be rather easy to construct a Spell Model."
Merlin was in deep thought for a moment before speaking in a cold tone of voice.
"It's rather easy to construct a Spell Model?"
Laurinka glanced at Merlin with a deep look. Then, as though she had understood something, she shook her head helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "Turns out you don't know, but yes, of course, you're a roaming Wizard, so naturally, you don't know the difficulties here. In fact, spell building is the most difficult because the Mind Power of every Spell Caster is different so the type of spell created is also different. Therefore, the Spell Model to be constructed has to be the one most suitable for oneself."

"Even the Spell Models created by the powerful Spell Casters aren't necessarily the most suitable. After obtaining the Spell Model, one would still need to take practical action and construct it in reality once more, according to one's own situation. Otherwise, at best, the construction fails. At worst, the Spell Model collapses and completely destroys the foundation."
Pausing, Laurinka gave Merlin a weird look before speaking in a low voice, "Don't tell me that you've never reconstructed the three Spell Models you've created, and have immediately simulated them in your Awareness?"
Merlin felt slightly startled. This was simply some general knowledge for many of the Spell Casters in the Spell Casters organization, but before Merlin had entered the Dark Magic Region, neither old man Etha's Spell Manual and the black-robed old man had mentioned this. They had thought that a Spell Model could be directly simulated in the Awareness as long as it was stable.
It was not surprising, then, that the Spell Models in the black-robed old man were unstable. Meanwhile, nothing had happened to some of the other Spell Casters who were using the same Spell Models.
It turned out that Spell Models could not be directly used. One still had to reconstruct them so that they would be suitable for the Spell Caster's actual condition.
Merlin thought about the Spell Models in his own Awareness. They had been constructed completely by the Matrix, so he did not know whether there were any hidden risks. Merlin immediately spoke to the Matrix in his heart, "Matrix, check the situation of how the Spell Models in my body are operating now."
"Beep, test begins... Test completed. The current Spell Models in your body are in stable operation."
"Check the data from the Spell Models constructed in the past."
"Beep, displaying data..."
Right away, large amounts of data appeared in Merlin's mind. There were the various kinds of data gathered from the construction of Fireball, Frost, and Earth Guard.
Merlin quickly searched and checked. Very soon, amongst the data, he discovered a segment of various data based on the "Master" that had been used to construct the Spell Models.

"Phew..."
Merlin gave a long sigh of relief. It turned out that, unbeknownst to him, his actual condition had already been inserted into the data of the Spell Models analyzed by the Matrix. This was also one of the advantages of having an "intelligent" quantum calculator.
Therefore, Merlin did not need to worry about whether there was anything wrong with the three Spell Models created by the Matrix.
Laurinka, who was standing on the side, saw Merlin's expression shifted and changed. She thought that Merlin was vexed about the three Spell Models he had constructed. Therefore, shaking her head slightly, she said, "Actually, you don't have to be so worried. You've already created three Spell Models, and although it's very likely that there are hidden risks, you can still slowly rectify them with great amounts of potions."
"Potion?"
Merlin gave a start in his heart, remembering the black-robed old man's exhortation. He was suffering from the torture of having unstable Spell Models and desired the Spell Model-stabilizing Potion greatly.
However, Laurinka did not explain more about the potion. She merely answered in general terms, "All of these are general knowledge. You'll slowly know more in the Dark Magic Region in the future. Let's go, I'm bringing you to see Wizard Leo."
Merlin nodded. He was still going to stay in the Dark Magic Region for at least three years, and there was no need for him to hurry. He could slowly understand more in the later days. Thus, following Laurinka from behind, he continued to walk forward.
On the way, all that Merlin could see were some towers. These towers were emanating strange fluctuations. In addition, some of the towers were very tall, so much so that the top of the towers could not be seen. Some of the towers were evidently very short, and he could see their pointy turret tops.
"Do all these towers have Runic Magic Circles arranged on them?"
With a sudden realization, Merlin noticed that the strange fluctuations from the towers were rather similar to those from the mysterious runes on the Dark Magic ring.
A strange look flashed across Laurinka's eyes. After that, she nodded and said, "It looks like you have quite keen senses to be able to notice the Runic Magic Circles on the towers. Back then, when I first came here, I hadn't discovered this. You're right, there are Runic Magic Circles arranged on these towers, indeed. Otherwise, how can ordinary buildings be constructed to be so high?"
"Only by arranging the mystical Runic Magic Circles, the towers can be kept from collapsing, and they can be built to be higher and higher. In relation to the towers in the Dark Magic Region, only intermediate Spell Casters, Fourth-level and above, are allowed to construct their own tower. The stronger the Spell Caster, the higher the tower he constructs."
Merlin looked around briefly. There were approximately fifty over towers that were standing tall and aloft in the entire Dark Magic Region. This meant that there were at least fifty over powerful Spell Casters who were Fourth-level and above.
Fifty-over Spell Casters, Fourth-level and above. This was a great power that Merlin was unable to imagine. The capabilities of the Spell Caster organization was, as he had expected, the greatest. Amongst some of the roaming Wizards outside, even a First-level spell Caster was extremely rare, let alone a Spell Caster who was Fourth-level or above.
Suddenly, Laurinka stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and gave Merlin a smile and said, "We've arrived. This is Wizard Leo's tower, and also where you shall be staying for the next three years."
Merlin lifted his head to see a grayish white tower before him.

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]

Zombies

I spent some time trying to make a story that explores all the gritty situations a resident of the apocalypse would encounter. Unfortunately, I do struggle with pace. I get just as impatient as you when I can't get to the next bloody encounter. But I despise OP characters, and I really wanna stop and explore the fascinating death of civilization. I write this in hopes of making a main character who get's to be the bad-ass I can't be, without, you know, skipping the good stuff.
