Snake Report: Day Twelve
I bought all of them.
Maybe that was foolish.
Still, I'm trying not to have too many regrets in the choices I make, so I'm doing my best to avoid serious worry over the decision.
Even if I mess up, I'm sure the god of Tiny-snakes will forgive me.
Purchases came out to be a bit more interesting than I expected.
[Water element] Unlocked [Water manipulation I] [Knowledge element] Unlocked [Voice of Gaia] [Divine element] Unlocked... Nothing. Maybe I should have figured as much. It was free, after all.
[Water Manipulation I] was just about what it sounded like. A spell to move water around, and make it do things. In the Tiny-snake-temporary-lair this isn't a particularly useful magic. There's no water here, so it'll have to wait.
[Voice of Gaia I] is a completely different story.
I take everything back about the 100 points being a trap.
It's not a trap. It's wonderful. It's the long awaited Question and Answer session of my dreams.
Hissss...
Sort of.
It's close though.
Close enough.
"[Voice of Gaia]: Show me my abilities."
[TITLE: DIVINE BEAST, LEVIATHAN]
[BRANCH: Magic essence]
[UNIQUE TRAITS:]
[Toxic] [Omnivore] [Affinity of Flame] [Legendary]
[RESISTANCES]
[Poison resistance: Rank IX] [Fire resistance: Rank II] - Affinity*
[Skills]
[Healing:] [Passive Healing II] [Basic Heal II] [Flame element] - Affinity* [Leviathan breath I] [Fireball II] [Earth element] [Earth Manipulation II] [Water element] [Water Manipulation I] [Knowledge element] [Voice of Gaia I] [Divine element] [None]
Hissssss...
Now how about that?
I feel a bit of a drain, but it all shows up, I can look at it. I can see these things without leveling up. One better, I can ask questions.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Unique Trait: Toxic]?"
"Toxic: Toxic flesh. Deadly to consume."

Hisssss. Finally, answers.
Short answers.
Brief and not very detailed, but answers.
The sensation of draining happened again; substantial this time.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Title: Leviathan]?"
"Leviathan: A beast of power. Known to lurk in the deepest depths of Monster Dungeons."
Oh. Monster Dungeon. The RPG vibe wasn't far off the mark after all. I'm starting to make sense of this, at least a bit.
"[Voice of Gaia] what is [Title: Divine Beast]?"
"Divine Beast: A ____ ____ ____ __"
Oh.
I'm out of magic.
I can't move.
Shit.

In this world, humans practice cultivation in order to gain power and survive against the beasts and demons that plague the lands. Now in the body of a youngster, Matthew uses his inquisitive mind to reconcile with this new reality soon discovering the potential his scientific knowledge holds. Follow him on his journey to power and immortality, answering old and new questions about the nature of the universe while he strives for unrestrained freedom. Notes 1: It is my first attempt at writing anything so any constructive advice is more than welcome. if your comment will be just to insult, don't do it, you will waste time typing and I will waste time reading it and not giving a damn about it. 2: To make it worse English is not my mother language. I'm still learning and through reading and talking is not a problem for me, writing is my weak spot. Though not the only one and not the most important, this is one of the reasons I decided to start writing this novel. 3: I do not own the artwork used as a cover, I found it on google, I liked it A LOT and decided to use it. At the time I tried to contact the creator but received no answer and if he wants me to remove it I will. With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy it and sorry if you don't :P.

Free Your Mind
A journey through the mind can be a mixture of the good, the bad, the pure, and the evil. Free Your Mind is a collection of poems and short stories that I've written over the years. As of now, this book is still in progress, but I've planned to release at least 25 to 30 chapters minimum for Free Your Mind. Hopefully you enjoy reading through the works already published for this book, and I hope you'll stick around for what's to come in the future. If you have any comments, ideas, critiques, etc. please let me know! I'm always open to what people have to say about my work. Free Your Mind is a way for me to dabble into releasing my writings for the public to read. And hopefully, if all goes decent with this book, I'll continue to upload different works alongside this. Note: Currently the cover work for Free Your Mind isn't mine. I plan to upload an original design once I've completed the chapters for this book.
