Chapter 10: Release, Lightning Element!
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
“Come on. Come, get in a line. Number off!”
Mo Fan calmed himself and put his full focus on once more attempting to control the seventh star.
The first star was the most obedient one. After all, it had been caressed everyday. As soon as Mo Fan issued a command, the star immediately stopped its lively movements, leaving it floating in the middle of the star dust.
The second star seemed somewhat stubborn. It showed an unwillingness to cooperate, as it quickly followed the first star.
Following behind them were the third, fourth, and fifth stars…
The sixth star was extremely obedient; it eagerly ran to the formation.
_Alright, there’s only the last star left!_
Mo Fan put all of his focus, all of his Spiritual powers, into the seventh star.
The seventh star orbited at a high speed within the star dust before it heard Mo Fan’s thoughts and gradually slowed down. It carried an impatience and unhappiness as it slowly took its place in the Star Path…
_GOOD BOY,_ _G_ _OOD BOY_ _!!_
_G_ _OOD BOY_ _,_ _GOOD BOY_ _!!_
As Mo Fan noticed the seventh star showing signs of submitting, he began to feel a slight excitement.
The first six stars are like dogs: if you shout, then they’ll obediently sit down, motionless. The seventh star was like a cat: freaking cold and impatient from head to toe.
_Since you want me to stay still, then I’ll do my best to make it difficult for you._
_Slowly…slowly…_
The seventh star finally stopped in its tracks as it followed along the path of the other six stars.
Star Path complete!
Magic, Appear!
Mo Fan, who wore a black t-shirt, was sitting in the back row of the bus; he suddenly had a curved track curling around his body. A purple star dust trajectory flashed past, giving Mo Fan’s body an indescribable force.
“Lightning Strike!!!”
“It’s Lightning Strike!!!”
Mo Fan’s heart gave rise to a wild excitement; he couldn’t help but want to laugh toward the sky.

“Bzzzt~~~~~~~~”
On his right fist an arc of lightning coiled around his arm like a python. The force of the purple Lightning Fist was stored within Mo Fan’s hand; if he were to brandish his hand, lightning would be sent toward the middle of the bus.
“Oh my god!!”
“Mage! It’s a Mage!!”
“It’s a Lightning Element Mage… Ah, why do I feel my entire body turning numb?!”
A surprised voice was heard from within the bus. The older auntie who finished her round of shopping, the old man who finished exercising, the young girl who was playing on her phone with her head lowered, as well as the pervert who was molesting the girl with the phone were all stunned as they saw at Mo Fan at the back of the bus.
“Great… great mage, I… I promise I won’t do this again… I beg of you, please spare me! I have eyes but couldn’t see Mt. Tai,” suddenly, the middle aged man who was molesting the young girl yelled out as he kneeled down, his face covered in tears as he begged for forgiveness from Mo Fan.
The middle aged pervert thought the young Mage had seen his own vulgar behavior, enraged him, and caused him to activate his Lightning abilities.
This Lightning force was extremely terrifying. All of the people on the bus were intimidated by the Lightning force, causing them to feel numb all over… especially the pervert who molested the young girl. His hands were numb to the point where he couldn’t feel anything.
“I’ll spare your dog life. If I catch you doing it again, I’ll immediately make you lose the use of your hands!” Mo Fan stood up after understanding the situation; his aura was cold as he looked down on the pervert.
“Yes! Yes, I won’t do it again, definitely.” After saying this, the pervert frantically escaped from the bus as the driver halted.
The surrounding aunties and uncles immediately reacted with praise. A few evident middle school girls looked at Mo Fan in admiration.
“Mom, that older brother is incredible. Am I able to become as unbelievable as him in the future?” an eight year old child dragged at his mother’s skirt and asked faintly.

“Becoming a Mage is not something anyone can do, especially a Lightning Element Mage.”
Mo Fan realized his magic had caused a huge uproar within the bus. In order to avoid the disturbance, Mo Fan quickly departed.
After exiting, Mo Fan’s heart was the same as before… unable to calm down.
_Shit, that is so freaking cool!!_
Recalling the Lightning Strike twirling around his arm and the dreadful feeling of being able to easily eliminate a person was unprecedented. It was like a dream!
_This is magic??_
_This is Magic!!_
Mo Fan’s heart throbbed incessantly. Even though he didn’t activate Lightning Fist, Mo Fan could still feel the might of the Lightning force. It came from within his body; he could control it, and it brought a strength he never considered before.
The reverence everyone on board of the bus directed at him… the pervert who was kneeling on the floor, begging for forgiveness, and the mysterious Lightning force that spiralled around his fist…
_This really is an inconceivable!_
“Hahahaha! I have learned the Lightning Strike, and I only needed a semester to do so. I want to see how you guys are going to stand in my way now? Mu Bai, Zhao Ting, all of them will have to kneel before me.”
Mo Fan was able to control Lightning Fist in just a semester. The fact is, the school gave the students one year to complete this ability.
From the beginning of the school year to the end of the semester, Mo Fan had only used five months worth of his available time. If this speed was known publicly, then his classmates and teacher, or even the students and teachers of the entire school, would be completely dumbstruck.
It seemed like the student who was favored by the Magical Beast teacher, Zhang Jianguo, had reached the control of four stars not too long ago… Mu Bai was at the same level as him.
_Hahaha! This Daddy has already activated Lightning Fist. How can you, Mu Bai, a green tea man, compete against me?_
_I can feel the power of the Lightning Force being released from it spiral around my arm. I wonder what it’d be like if I were to truly release it? Just thinking about it makes me want to yell out in excitement._
_Deep breath, deep breath. I’ll look like an idiot if I laugh in the middle of the road; I need to be calm. I am an incredible Mage!_
Mo Fan actually wanted to use Lightning Strike one more time, but after he had finished the Lightning Strike earlier, his body began to feel empty and dizzy.
“This is probably the spiritual exhaustion that the teacher mentioned, right?” Mo Fan asked himself.
Generally speaking, Mo Fan could maintain two hours of practicing ‘Control’. He would only feel Spiritual exhaustion after two hours.
He had only practiced ‘Control’ for twenty minutes when he was on the bus; however, in the moment he completed Lightning Strike, he felt his Spiritual Force being completely drained…
Mo Fan still understood this point. While he was practicing ‘Control’, he wouldn’t complete the Star Path. Normally speaking, that wouldn’t use too much Mana. However, if he completed the Star Path and channeled the Star Force into his body, thus achieving the true effect of Magic, then the majority of the Mana would be gone.
_I’ve never been a Mage before, but I’ve played all sorts of games like League of Legends, or The Legend of Mir; they all follow the same logic!_

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
