Chapter 139: The Fourth Element!
Translator: GravityTales Editor: GravityTales
It seemed like there was no color to it!
After Mo Fan carefully examined it, he realized that this Element actually had no color whatsoever!
It was transparent!
The reason why he could see it was because he was able to sense the outline of its Stardust within the chaotic area. However, it was very close to being invisible. If it was to be described with a color, then it would be the radiance that it emitted occasionally was the color of the moon!
What Element was this?
Mo Fan was momentarily unable to make a determination.
—
“Are you done?” The apprentice, Xiao Mian, opened the door without permission. She saw that Mo Fan had finished Awakening a long time ago, thus she began to pout.
“If you’re done, come out. There’s gonna be a Magician coming here to Awaken at the recommendation of the Magic Court, please don’t… Eh? How come the Element you Awakened is colorless?” The young apprentice Xiao Mian was surprised as she looked at the Awakening stone.
On the other side of the room, Guo Liyu immediately stood up as he heard his apprentice’s astonishment. He ran over to the Awakening Room and peeked inside.
When he discovered the Awakening Stone didn’t have any color, yet there’d be an occasional flicker of moonlight, his face was filled with shock.
_This… what kind of luck does this second generation have!? He actually awakened the Summoning Element!_
The vast majority of the people would only Awaken a Classical Element as their first Element. Those who Awakened White Magic, Black Magic ,or Dimensional Magic could be considered as being favored by the heavens. After all, the first Awakening’s Element were the Major Cultivations. Elements of Major Cultivations provided Magicians an increased amount of time to cultivate and practice. It made them far more proficient compared to those with a Secondary or Minor Cultivation Element.

Guo Liyun originally thought that if this person Awakened a Lightning Element, he would go back home with honor in his hands. Who would’ve thought that he would’ve changed to Dark Element at the last second, and while that did fail, he got a Summoning Element out of it!
According to the rules, the first Awakening being a Classical Element was the most common one. The following one would be either Black Magic or White Magic, and the one with the least probability would be Dimensional Magic.
Magicians with a Summoning ability for their first Element would enjoy an unlimited benefit from those major powers as long as they were willing to. Their rarity and price were far too high.
“This is the Summoning Element… Hmph, kid, the 100,000 RMB your family spent on you sure was worth it!” The corner of Guo Liyu’s mouth twitched as he spoke to the dumbstruck Mo Fan.
Mo Fan gasped as he looked at Guo Liyun with an unconvinced face.
Summoning Element, it was actually the Summoning Element!
Even today, Mo Fan has been unable to forget about the amazing scene of Chief Zhankong’s subordinate calling the Skyhawks flying through the sky of Bo City. That seemed to be the Summoning Element!
He always imagined himself one day being able to mount an awesome beast as he landed on the street. Who would’ve thought that he unexpectedly be closer to that now!?
This happiness came far too suddenly. If Ms. Tangyue was here, Mo Fan would endure the danger and hug her before giving her a couple of kisses.
_Speaking of which, If I was to tell the matter of Awakening the Shadow and Summoning Elements to that old scoundrel Mu Zhuoyun, would he package his beautiful Mu Ningxue and present her to me?_

That seemed to be equally possible!
Where else would you be able to find a son-in-law with four Elements?
“Alright, alright. Since you’re done Awakening, leave! I am busy.” At the end of the day, Guo Liyu was a busy person, he began to wave Mo Fan away.
“Oh, oh, thank you!” Currently, Mo Fan only wanted to find a place to calm his state of mind.
“Even if you Awakened a special Element, if you don’t put effort into your training, it’ll still be useless. Furthermore, you’re already relatively old. You’re much slower than other people, there is nothing to be excited about,” Guo Liyu said.
As Mo Fan heard this, he felt cold water being poured over him. He didn’t understand why Guo Liyu would say he was old…
According to Tangyue, being able to tread into the Intermediate level at this age would still be considered as being incredibly impressive even in Shanghai. Could it be that Guo Liyu’s scope of people was even higher?
Alright, the City of Demons was the City of Demons, after all. There were many strong people here, even Intermediate Magicians couldn’t be considered anything special here…
Mo Fan didn’t say anything else, and immediately left.
As he walked out, the receptionist girl in her white qipao guided another fat youth who looked relatively old into the room.
Mo Fan didn’t care as he left excitedly
As Guo Liyu saw this fatty, his face immediately broke into smiles. He greeted him as he ordered Xiao Miao next to him to make tea. “Oh, you must be the Intermediate Magician that Tangyue recommended… your name was Mo Fan, right?”
The fatty’s face was blank. He pointed at his wrinkled nose as he said, “My name is Yang Dahai.”
“The youth who just left was Mo Fan,” the receptionist quickly explained.
The jaws of both Master Guo Liyu and apprentice Xiao Miao both dropped as they glanced at each other. The expressions on their faces couldn’t be described with just a couple of words.
After a moment had passed, the apprentice finally regained her senses as she weakly said, “Master… Did we make a mistake?”
Guo Liyu’s face was stiff as he nodded, “It seems like it!”
“Then…then he was actually Awakening his second Element…” Xiao Miao said.
“As expected of the ancient Magic Court, producing such a monster! An Intermediate Mage that young… Awakening the Summoning Element on his second Awakening! I, Guo Liyu, am thoroughly defeated!” Guo Liyun let out a long sigh.
The receptionist didn’t know what was going on between the master and the apprentice, she just directly went back to the hall.
The fatty called Yang Dahai was also sitting there, completely confused about the situation.
“Are you the kid from the Yang Family that wants to Awaken the Lightning Element?” Guo Liyu asked as he glanced at the fatty.
“That would be me!” Yang Dahai replied, as he shook the fat around his body.
“Xiao Miao, bring him to the Awakening Room.”
“Master, didn’t you tell me to go make tea?”
“Make what, don’t waste my good tea,” Guo Liyu replied as he left to do his own work.
That fatty Yang Dahai was completely dumbstruck.
_How come the happy and sincere Awakening Master suddenly looks as though I owe him five hundred thousand RMB? Did Daddy give him too little money?_

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
