《The Apple Grotto Nymph》Chapter 17
Advertisement
The three laws of enchanting are as follows:
One must destroy an already enchanted item to learn its enchantment.
One must use mana crystals made from his own mana. Learn how to make mana crystals in chapter 12: Mana crystallization.
One has to use a compatible metal or cloth. Wood can’t be used for an enchantment. You can find a table with the available metals per enchantment in chapter 2: Enchanting’s fundamentals.
Theanore set the book down. It was very thick and the little nymph was supposed to conquer it as one would a mountain peak. Marinus had taken one look at it and had made Theanore make him notes to follow in his own studies.
The little nymph was just beginning to read but she already had more questions than answers. Why didn’t the system ask her to make mana crystals if they were this useful? What was the penalty of putting the wrong enchantment for the wrong metal?
She went to chapter 2 and stared at the long table with metals and fabrics. She flipped the page and the table continued. She decided to write it simpler in her notes.
Opening a brand-new notebook, she took a quill and began to write.
Lithium- For weight reduction since it is the lightest metal. Use aluminum and magnesium as a mix.
Beryllium- A crystal as well as a metal. We can make many pretty pieces of jewelry with it. They come in different colors. Good for lightning and fire enchantments.
Sodium- It is a silverly very light metal. It is less dense than water and burns in it with a bright yellow flame! It can be used for underwater light enchantment.
Theanore kept writing the whole day. Her hand hurt a little but she found so many interesting things. Maybe the next book they buy would be on metals? She finally finished the metals and moved to the fabrics which were blessedly less in number.

Silk- A sturdy fabric. Good for fire resistance and hardiness enchantment. Even unenchanted silk can stop an arrow.
Catton- A soft fabric. It is used for fire enchantments as well as earth enchantments. Do not put lightning enchantment if you don’t want to cause a storm!
Wool- Like cotton.
Hemp- Use earth enchantments only.
Flax- Can be used with both an earth enchantment as well as a lightning enchantment.
Linen- Can have water enchantments on it.
Leather- A sturdy material that works good with all enchantments but above all with the lightning enchantment.
Finally finishing the table Theanore smiled at her work. It was ten pages long but she was proud of it. She picked up the notebook and presented it to Marinus.
“Good job, Thea. Can we get all of these things?” Asked Marinus looking at the watered-down description Theanore had made for him.
“We can trade for the fabrics. But we already have gold and copper. That is a good start. If we can get the ants to dig deeper into the mountain without the whole cave collapsing then we can get more of these things.”
Marinus leafed through the notebook to check the description of copper and gold. He found copper first.
Copper- A reddish metal that is good for both fire and lightning enchantments.
Next, he found the description for gold.
Gold- Gold can be made into wires and thin sheets. It is good for both fire and lightning enchantments. Can also have weak water enchantments on it. Only up until level 3 on the Wizard Odious’ scale.
Note: Wizard Odious’ scale is in chapter 17.
“It seems we will make the most money out of linen and gold enchanted items since they have the rare enchantment type of water.” Said Marinus and Theanore nodded.

“We can make capes and scarves out of linen and enchant them with a water enchantment and sell those. Otherwise, some seamstress will make a lot of money out of simple enchanted linen.” Said Theanore. Ever since her library idea was shot down, she realized that giving someone the raw product was just asking for them to steal your business.
“Precisely. The ants can easily cut the fabric but we will have to sew it. The next book we buy has to be on sewing. And we will need needles and thread. I hope uncle Crassus manages to sell the gold and pearls today.” Said Marinus as he leafed through the notebook. Beryllium could be used in its raw form, as far as he could see. He could already imagine pearl bracelets with a crystal in the middle.
“Maybe I can create something that can sew instead of us? I saw a book in father Crassus’s bookshelf and it had things like fairies in there. And about elves that made presents for something called Yule. If we can only get our hands on some of them, we will have our own workshop!” Exclaimed Theanore and Marinus grinned. This was a wonderful idea.
“Thea, show me that book.” He said and she went and got a multi-colored book from the bookshelf. She had to get on a chair to reach the old book. Giving it to Marinus she opened it to where she could show him an illustration of a fairy.
“See? Isn’t she pretty? She is so small she lives in a flower and she went on an adventure to save her grove from a beehive that went evil.”
Marinus began to read and then he looked disappointed.
“Thea, this is a fairytale.” He said and Theanore looked confused at him.
“Why, yes. It is a tale about a fairy.” She thought that Marinus was being silly right now. Instead of reading about Bellchime and her adventure he was pouting.
“No, Thea. This is a story for children. The things in it didn’t happen. Bellchime is not real. Fairies probably aren’t either.”
Theanore sniffled at that. The pretty fairy wasn’t real? The book was a lie? No! She couldn’t believe that. As soon as she was back in her grotto, she was going to ask the system if Bellchime could come live with them. And when she did come, she was going to show silly Marinus that this was a true story and not a lie.

Summoned
“Per aspera ad astra." Death. Mercilessly, it comes for all. But when a young man is given a second chance – a second life – to experience what he never has, what will he do? Leave the burdens of his past behind, improving upon his faults? Or will he collapse back into old sins, wasting the opportunity given to him? Perhaps even he himself does not know. * Join Andre on his journey as he explores a new world – one ripped straight from the pages of a D&D campaign he's never played. He will face monsters. He will face men. And above all, he will face himself. The story’s genre is your standard progression fantasy, isekai: magic, a system, and a level of technology suspiciously underdeveloped. I’ve borrowed tropes from various books I’ve read like “The Second Coming of Gluttony”. The similarities are there (particularly in the beginning), but I assure you the story is my own. It’s in the first-person perspective and has its own quirks, characters, and world for you to become immersed in. The upload schedule for this will be different from the usual fictions on this site: I’ll release chapters in batches rather than so many a week. I’m a college student, so I don’t want another deadline to worry about. Depending on the popularity/demand of the series, I might increase or decrease the rate of releases. Other than that, I hope you enjoy the story! P.S. This is my first fiction so make sure to point out mistakes wherever you see them. I’m doing this, partly, to increase my skill as a writer. However, be kind! I’m fragile, you know? Warning: ***This is far from your happy-go-lucky, feel-good adventure story. There will be content that some of you might not be comfortable with. And if you're already feeling skeptical reading this, click away and don't come back. If you're still here, what are you waiting for?***

The Spark
Michael Locke was a normal student, who went through his normal day in a normal fashion, until the day became... unnatural. Shot into the country of Aldemar and thrust into a new world alongside his many classmates, he agrees to work for the king in exchange for shelter and to learn magic. Fate however, is indifferent to his wishes, as he quickly realizes that he may be a hero, but his purpose in this world is quite opposite. Suddenly surrounded on every side, Michael must work to survive, and if anyone finds his secret... He's as good as dead. The Spark is meant to be a murder mystery style isekai, focused on the existence of basically an anti-hero, with every one of the large amount of heroes attempting to discover who the traitor is. This isn't made to be a lovey dovey easy going isekai with an OP mc, it's made to stir around an emotional story, with many dark tones. Still, the goal is to stay fairly light hearted as well, and the perspective will pass around to several characters throughout the story.

The Saga of Armageddon: The Call of Crows
Bjorn Stormtamer's world has been turned upside down in more ways than one. His shipmates have left him for dead on an island for quarantining victims of a disease that he now has. His partner in battle despises him, his family thinks he's dead and everyone else thinks it was good riddance. Moreover, the world is under attack by a virulent plague that kills with light and an empire from the east whose intentions are unknown but whose methods are merciless and bloodthirsty. Little does he know that the world itself is nearly on the brink of cosmic collapse.But when a bold, charismatic woman from another nation seeks him out, Bjorn discovers that the plague he has was not a plague at all, but a trial. A trial to determine who is worthy to wield the power of gods in order to give humanity a fighting chance against the winds of fate. This novel was written 2 years ago and isn't exactly my best work. I'm still improving my skills, but I encourage you to enjoy it for what it's worth. ALSO, the whole plague thing was written about before the COVID pandemic. The plague is fake and actually magic in the story, but that has NOTHING to do with real world events. I am under NO CIRCUMSTANCE trying to make ANY kind of statement with it. Please just enjoy the story and stay safe.
