《Earth to Rae》Chapter 3 - Sixth Sense
Advertisement
“Is the slave collar going to work on him, Doctor? I mean, he is a mutated goblin.” Asked Tim worriedly.
Tim’s question was valid, as they had never used a slave collar on a goblin that was mutated, so it was new territory.
The Doctor chuckled and made a disdainful smile as if he had heard the greatest joke in the world. “Tim, my dear apprentice, although it is mutated, a mutated goblin is still a lowly goblin in the end. This one is white on the outside, but it is still green on the inside.”
Rae had grown furious hearing the Doctor mock him like that. It was as If the Doctor thought he was trash, albeit a rare piece of trash.
And something inside him couldn’t stand the humiliation like it was roaring to get out. Which was strange because after he had stayed with Mary and Helen for a while, he never really cared about what other people thought about him before, and he was never prideful either, but it had been a very long time since he was treated like this. Although he knew it was because he was a goblin, it still made him angry.
‘Breathe in… breathe out…’ Rae did a breathing exercise he practiced when he had anxiety before, as it worked just as well for anger.
The Doctor and Tim thought he was wheezing and ignored him, as baby goblins were quite resilient physically.
“Yes, Doctor." Tim put Rae into the basket with the other baby goblins and Rae had a chance to look around.
There were dirt and mud covering the entire floor, and the building looked to be a barn house. The wood was dilapidated and some spots cracked so badly, cold air could get inside. And lined up against the walls were what resembled pig pens. In each of them was a female goblin. Now that he had a clear look at them, they resembled the vicious creatures had seen from back on Earth. All they were wearing were just rags tied around their breasts and women’s area. Most of them were pregnant and the ones who weren’t, but all of them had blank looks in their eyes as if were empty vessels.
Rae realized what was going on.
It was actually quite smart, really. With the goblins fertility and growth rate, they would make an extremely replenish able workforce either through labor, or war. The collars also seemed to be imbued with magic that helped keep them in check. Enslavement, essentially.

And this place he was born in, was just part of an auction house to both birth and rear them for them to sell to the highest bidder.
Rae honestly did not know what to feel. If he had been human, he probably would have agreed and applauded the idea, but he was born among them and also currently being treated like them.
He wondered how the goblins even ended up in such a situation in the first place.
'What are you thinking about, Rae? You still have to get back to Mary and Helen,' he thought and refocused his attention.
Rae had almost laughed at himself for worrying about goblins - the fantasy creatures notorious for being cruel and vicious.
After Tim left the barn house, they went into another barn house that resembled the first one and had more 'goblin' pens, but this time they have just boxed off fences with a trough in the middle. There were pens lined up in three columns with enough space in between them to walk through.
Tim then went to an empty pen and had practically dumped me and the other baby goblins in there. Then he called someone over and that person dumped a bunch of pellets into the trough and left, leaving just him and the babies.
Rae was glad to finally be alone. He could finally test some ideas he had.
He used the breathing technique he was familiar with to help him focus.
After a few moments of repetition, he activated both 「Magic Perception」and 「Perceptive Eyes」,
And what Rae experienced was incredible. He could feel and see the Mana in the atmosphere all around him. The beautiful blue particles emitting power and just waiting for beings to consume them. It was a euphoric feeling being able to utilize the nature of the world to perform abnormal feats of power no normal human could ever possibly achieve.
『Akashic System』「Enhanced Six Senses LV1」 Leveled up!
『Akashic System』「Magic Perception LV5」 Leveled up!
『Akashic System』「Perceptive Eyes LV5」 Leveled up!
Then everything turned for the worse. 'AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Turn it off!' Rae screamed inside.
『Akashic System』Endurance +1!
『Akashic System』Gained 「Pain Resistance LV1」
Rae had felt the worse pain he had ever felt. Even worse than when he was abused. It felt as if needles were stabbing at every skin cell he had in his body and then they would go deeper over time.

When Rae was birthed into the world, he had noticed all his senses get better, especially his eyes, so he wanted to see the effect it would have if he activated both 「Magic Perception」and 「Perceptive Eyes」and it would seem like the sensory overload was too much for him.
'Maybe I can only activate one at a time.’ Rae thought.
Moments later, there was a loud cry that rose over all the other babies in the barn house.
'Okay, I cannot activate either of them, but why does it hurt when I activate 「Magic Perception 」? It makes sense for 「Perceptive Eyes」 as I've noticed that my eyesight has become crystal clear and I'm able to see farther and pay attention to little details thanks to「Enhanced Six Senses」already, but why「Mana Perception」?' Rae contemplated.
'「Enhanced Six Senses」「Enhanced Six Senses」「Enhanced Six Senses」「Enhanced Six Senses」,' Rae kept muttering to himself in question.
Then he figured it out, 'Of course! It's called 「Enhanced Six Senses」so the sixth sense must be being able to sense Mana!'
『Akashic System』Wisdom +1!
Rae was happy he could identify the problem, though he didn’t know what he could do to solve the issue of sensory overload. Maybe increase his intelligence? He decided to appraise Intelligence.
『Akashic System』Intelligence - Affects the rate and ease one grasps knowledge, memory capacity, and Mana capacity.
It didn't exactly answer his question, but he had nothing else to go on.
'Since I can't utilize 「Mana Perception 」 right now, I'll use my Sixth Sense on its own for the time being,' Rae decided.
He then tried to recapture that beautiful moment, and after a few moments, he was able to feel the Mana around him, but not see it.
'It's a bit disappointing the feeling isn't as powerful as well as before, and I can't see those beautiful blue particles, but that's only for the moment. Now, on to the next step, 「Appraise」「Darkness Magic」and「Blood Manipulation」!'
『Akashic System』「Darkness Magic」- Utilize darkness.
『Akashic System』「Blood Manipulation」- Manipulate blood.
Rae was slightly disappointed by the fact he could not use 「Blood Manipulation」as there was no blood around to manipulate but immediately perked up when he remembered he could use 「Darkness Magic」.
Rae closed his eyes and imagined the Mana converging into a small point the size of a bullet and firing into the ground in front of him.
Immediately after he heard a *Dush*.
『Akashic System』Gained 「Mana Control LV1」
'YEEEESSS! HAHAHAHAHAHA, I CAN USE MAGIC NOW! I BET ALL THOSE OTAKU LORDS ON EARTH WOULD KILL THEMSELVES JUST FOR A CHANCE AT BEING REINCARNATED ON ALTERA!' Rae was giddy at the thought that he could create magic. What person wouldn't be happy about being able to control and utilize nature itself? Anyone! And Rae, despite his current circumstances, was no different!
'One step closer to returning to Earth! I also gained a lot of skills and attributes. Status!'

'I should hide 「Pain Resistance」「Mana Control 」 before I forget. Also, the way I obtained「Pain Resistance」was terrible. The pain was so excruciating that I got a skill from it. I hope I don't have to raise it in the future,' he thought pitifully.
After checking his Status, Rae decided that his immediate goal was to increase his levels to raise Intelligence to use 「Mana Perception」and 「Perceptive Eyes」, as he had some direction to rectify it, although a bit vague. Then he decided on a much-needed rest.
It had been a long time since he had one. From fighting against Mary's stalker and dying, to meeting Kahlos and reincarnating here. There were no gaps for rests and he was exhausted physically from the sensory overload and mentally as well.

VOID EMPIRE: IMPERIAL MAGE
Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. The exalted mage lords of the Empire have ruled for over two thousand years. Keeping the Empire safe from the tribes of beast kin and the void monsters that break into reality. A world on the edge of the great universal tree, a bastion against the ever-encroaching void. The realm of the dead and souls is far. The touch of the Gods and Goddesses is faint and growing weaker. This is a Litrpg / Gamelit where I am seeking to explore the idea where an Empire like Rome made it to the Edwardian/Victorian period. With all the decadence and kinky/bdsm stuff, Rome was known for, intact and evolved. Think pride and prejudice but the complete opposite of prudish. This story contains explicit scenes. This is not a collect slave women to bang story. This is not an endless struggle grind. The character is OP. The character is figuring out how to adapt his power to the world. Last, I will point out, glass is five hundred time sharper than steel and can be sharpened down to just a single atom in thickness. Please leave a review and rating as it helps me improve my writing. Feedback is always appreciated; I hope you enjoy. I am working on my grammar as well and hopefully it will improve, through editing. As It has never been a strong suit of mine. chapters Sat 7 pm... until the series is complete.

{COMPLETED} Alaina wishes to be more than a mere icon for her kingdom, believing a princess should be much more than a fragile lady in a dress.

But when one of the neighbouring kingdoms demands that it's time for a change in the land of Asteria, her entire kingdom is shaken. To worsen the situation, the king is somehow caving in to the demands irrationally.
