《Bloom》Seedling 3

I really haven’t thrown enough credit to the massive cheat that Inherent Mana Manipulation is.
To describe it, well, imagine if you could literally control the energy in the air all around.
No, no, that’s a horrible way to describe it.
How about this?
Imagine if you could control fire like that famous superhero. Now imagine further that the fire is everywhere around. The very fabric of reality bends to manipulation at a quantum level.
Yes, that’s kinda what this talent does.
Unfortunately, there seem to be a few minor side effects now that I’m ‘Fire Affinity’…
Specifically…
Everything other than Fire is like herding cats.
Large cats that hate you with utter loathing, and desire nothing except a painful death for thee.
So, when Tree, yes dammit that’s my alter ego’s name, and no, I better not hear any wood jokes!
Rustlllllleeeee.
No. Wood. Jokes. Capish?!
…Rustle.
Well now that that’s sorted out.
-4,995 Mana. Portal to the Elemental Plane of Lightning opened!
Oh wow.
Glowing portal is preeeeeeeeeeeety.
Rustle!
Yes, yes, I’m hurrying.
See?
Exactly, I’m creating what’s known as a negative charge using mana.
And then…
BOOM.
That happens!
Eh…that’s a rather large humanoid sized being of pure lightning energy.
Russstle.
What do you mean size doesn’t matter? Who the hell really believes that!
Rustleeee.
The giant lizard is waking up? Well of course he is! I mean, lightning isn’t exactly quiet.
Rustle…?
Don’t worry, I have a plan for this.
Rustle.
Hey! My last plan was perfectly logical, if you don’t remember we were FROZEN IN ICE and DYING.
Put those roots right back in the ground, mister.
Don’t even try to escape.
It’s too late anyways.
Rustle.
When was the last time I steered you wrong?
Rustle! Rustle. Rustleeeeeee!
That last one didn’t even count, two times tops.

Oh, wow they are really going at each other now.
Sparkly Crackly is kinda holding his own against Giant Dragon with Sharp Teeth.
Rustle.
Well, I mean he’s pretty much cheating since he can move at the speed of lightning and all. Otherwise the big lizard would have sealed the deal by now.
Ho…
Dragon magic is some flashy shizzle.
Lucky for us…
It’s based on Fire!
Hah!
Rustle??!
Yes, that was indeed my entire plan.
…Rustle.
No we are NOT doomed to failure, see how the dragon breath is just curving around us while striking the poor lightning elemental?
Just like I planned.
All.
Along.
Eh…
Why is the lizard glaring at us?
Rustle.
What do you mean he can sense the connection between our Tree and the portal?
Do you think this might be important information to impart BEFORE the start of this?
Russsstle.
It’s fine, see we got the Sparkly Crackly guy once he was weakened. Just don’t let him escape the fire orb sealing it into the upper branches.
Tsk…
Giant lizard, dragon, whatever.

Yours faithfully, Jessaire Sev-ConteneSenior ClerkNorth Hill Waypost Sebastian Lewis has been offered an administrative position at a minor outpost in a relatively obscure frontier territory.

Glass Cannon
Mortal Coil is the best VRMMO in the market with millions of people playing it! In this game, two best friends made a bet with each other. Whoever becomes the #1 ranked would win. Such a simple bet, but to them, it was like a declaration of war. Being two of the most stubborn individuals on the planet that saw loss as a personal offense, they made this last bet before cutting off their friendship due to some... complicated matters(Don't worry It'll get explained in the book). The problem was, that one was super talented at the game, and the other was super shit. This story revolves around that player. No, not the talented one, the shit one. Hated by many for his rather "uncouth" strategies (one of which included hitting a guy in the back of the head with a wooden board, stealing all his stuff and leaving him stark naked in the middle of the woods), his name is Jack. Oh, and did I mention he's a min-Maxed for health which drives people insane? Unfortunately, as luck would have it, he stumbles upon the worst possible hidden class for him. Warrior of Glass. A class with insanely high attack power... and insanely low HP. He's also given a quest to retrieve a sword in the middle of the Ashen Forest (lovingly nicknamed "Suicide Woods" by the players) and another quest to kill 7 insanely powerful demon lords that roam the lands so he can fulfill his predecessor's legacy. Now, armed only with a veeery high damage output, an unbendable will of steel and his almost nonexistent sense of guilt (emphasis on almost), he still aims to become the #1 player. This time, with some serious handicaps.

Greys II - Ghosts
There he stood, dark eyes, dark hair, beautiful in the most devastating of ways. It scared me how little he had changed, his hair was longer and black, his frame thinner, like he hadn't eaten since I last saw him. His eyes were different, lacking something they had always held before, lacking anything really, and yet he was the same. He looked weak, but I knew he wasn't. "Hi, angel."His voice was just as dead as his eyes. It sent a shiver up my spine. That was the reason I felt sick, that was the reason he seemed different. He was dead, and as much as I wanted to hate him, I was sad he was empty, sad he wasn't the same man anymore."Hello, Gabriel."My voice came out softer than I would have liked, the words burning my tongue. But it didn't matter, I got the desired effect even if the volume wasn't there. He flinched, his eyes widening, his eyebrows twitching up and together, his jaw setting for just a moment. But then it was gone and he looked away, death settling back in his eyes, in the lines of his face.» ✦ «#2 in Angel Romance#3 in Demonology#11 in Thriller#Mature, 18+ for all the reasons. Not a YA novel (again).**Due to disturbing themes, violence, depression, language and literally everything else, this is not for the kids. Ghosts is darker than Intentions. But you need to live in the dark to appreciate the light...or at least, the lighter grays 🖤🖤
