Chapter 4
“No Dr Phil I don't think my llama addiction is ruining my family. I think they should just accept who I really am. In the first place, how is it my fault that they can't appreciate true beauty and chose to live in a world where llamas are not welcomed house pets? I think I had enough with this show, Oprah has already invited me for discussing llama based cleaning soluti...”
Huh… my energy is declining. It was 97/100 a minute ago and now it's down to 92/100. Am I dying again? Do I even care?
89/100
88/100
…
70/100
Fuck, I still care. What to do? What can I do? Kevin, any Suggestions?
Okay, okay calm yer tits. I think I got this. I can just craft more mitochondria. Wait no, that will spend what little energy I have left. How much will it offset the drain tho? Would crafting 2 more be enough? I don't have materials for more. Eh, as my neighbour used to say – “Fuck it, go big or go home.”
40/140
Come on little fellow, you can do it!
39/140
Whelp, I guess I'm dead.
38/140
It’s quite a bit slower tho. I think I can collect enough elements for another mitochondrion soon.
25/140
Bought another one
10/160
Yes?
9/160
No!
-A few hours and couple hundred thousand swear words later.-
It has stopped at 3/160 for some time now.

“Open crafting”
=======
-Currently available mods:
Mitochondrion Miniature movement spirals Basic mutation chamber
=======
As always, no description of what things do. At least I understand the movement spirals. Those sound like flagella’s. This is getting too complicated already, I should just stick with movement spirals, else I forget the names and need to consult my non-existent dictionary. Besides, Kevin is only pretending to be smart. He's actually “Flat Earther”. I can't trust a guy like that with my bio-term handling.
Still, quite a way to go until I can afford the mutation chamber.
“Why not craft movement spirals,” - you ask?
Da fuk does a blind, deaf, unfeeling cell need a movement spirals? How will I even know if I’m moving? Besides, I'm saving up for some cool mutation action. At this point, all mutations would be positive.
Okay, now I should patiently save up for muta… aaand I bought 6 movement spirals. I’m not spending another second waiting and not being able to do nothing else!
“Activate cosmic thrusters, we're going in deep!”
Is directionless charge bad idea? Yes!
Will I still do it? Also, Yes!
Did I just completely contradict my own decision? Mind your own business!
Alright, from what I can tell moving takes energy, so it should mean that there is finally somewhere I can drain my energy into (well except more mitochondria). It’s a really slow drain, but thankfully I now know I'm moving. As for the direction? Well, I tried imagining adding spirals around my cell - 1 top, 1 bottom and 1 for each side. Let's, just hope that adding mods work as I'm intending.
Huh… I wonder what's in the bottom of this pond.
Wait a minute, I just had an amazing idea. Okay, hear me out. Remember how there are mineral particles in the water supporting me? What if we reach the bottom and directly start absorbing some from there? We can increase this production by 9000% percent! Though, I'm sure Kevin pulled those numbers out of his ass.
Now the only thing left is to wait for results… wait… ugh… fuck...

Summary Alexander Weiss, an intelligent and slightly unusual man, always dreamt of becoming a mage. Sadly, reality is harsh and even his best efforts never allowed him to achieve his goal during his lifetime... or did they? One has to be careful what they wish for, lest they might live to see it fulfilled. Description Follow Alex, a man whose pursuit of magic could not even be stopped by his non-magical reality, going as far as to create it himself, only to encounter an unsurmountable obstacle shortly before achieving his lifes goal, denying him all access to these powers. His journey will take him through a miraculous world, full of wonders, magic and manic beasts trying to devour him! He will learn much about this world during his adventures, exploring individual aspects of the System and the various monsters that came from it... or did they? Strong points What you'll get from this novel is the following (read with overly enthusiastic salesman-voice) : • An ending! I'll complete it, no matter what. Well, not "no matter what", but as long as I don't unexpectedly end, this novel won't either! • Good grammar! Might not be perfect, but it's definitely good enough to not detract from the story in the slightest. I'll also fix any reported mistakes as soon as possible, be they grammatical, syntactical or just inconsistencies. • No plot-armor! Or plot-weapons! Or plot-... potions? And no plot-holes! If you see some, it's most likely information that is being witheld for future revelations! But in the (hopefully) very unlikely case of such a vile beast being encountered, please inform me immediately and I'll see to slaying it without grace! (Translation: If you see plot-holes, tell me and I'll fix them) • Logic! [Hidden : Spoilers][Hidden : More Spoilers] [Moved to Chapter [Hidden Spoiler]'s Author's Note] Marvelous, I know! • Blue Boxes! And maybe something more! • Sensible retroactive edits! Not to be confused with radioactive edits! You'll not have to re-read previous chapters, even if they get some major edits. If they were to receive new information, I'll add that very information to the newly released chapters too, in a reasonable way. • Realism! Shocking, I know! Especially considering the tag related to that and the point about "Logic!". This also means that the story will be... well, realistically depicting a pretty messed up world. Don't expect bunnies... at least not cute ones. • Relatively faster paced! No long and boring descriptions of irrelevant stuff. There will be some longer descriptions about important things, but that's gonna be necessary world- and/or character-building! • Short action! Might not be a plus for some, but you won't have to look at a whole (or, god forbit, multiple) chapter describing a fight against the same enemy... • Strategy and hard progression! It's a dog-eat-dog world! No grinding/power-creep! If you're up against three enemies of your level at once, you've already lost! • Understanding! It will be mostly about discovering the wonders of this new world and how it became like that, all while trying to survive. So there will be enough action nonetheless! • Humor! Sometimes dark, sometimes light, always at the worst moment! • Constructive critics, welcome! Destructive critics, nope... I can handle criticism though, so don't go easy on me! Just make sure it's really a mistake when complaining about something. • Will add more in the future! If I can think of more stuff...
8 169Hiraeth: Awakening
Lir was human, until he drowned. Destined to take back the freedom of a merfolk clan called the Halloran, reborn in the depths of the ocean as a half-man, half-Halloran entity, Lir is meant to be a savior. Yet, Lir only wants to be human again, because his people are at war with what he has become. When the Halloran Queen learns of Lir’s existence, she tracks him down and a race against time begins. If she catches Lir, he will become a slave used against his own kind. As Lir sets out to find a remedy for his newfound powers, Lir’s mentor, Tobias—the man Lir secretly loves—is determined to aid Lir despite the risks. He could get arrested. They could both die. Lir is thankful for Tobias’s presence, but as the days go on, magic whispers to him that there is no cure. He will never be human again. And to stay alive, Lir must devour what is the most precious to him—Tobias's heart.
8 223A God's Champion
James was an Operator who had the misfortune to die in battle. Instead of his soul moving on to his just reward, it is intercepted, and James finds himself on a new mission. Asked to be the Champion for Ignatius, God of Embers, he finds himself in a different world, fighting impossible creatures and trying to survive. Their lives now depend on his completing the Challenge and ranking in the top 500. But the odds are stacked against him, and he was a better operator than a swordsman. Chapters released Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:30 Warning: After Chapter 11, the MC undergoes a significant change of class and race. This is due to a couple of factors. The first is that when the MC was created, James didn't know what he was doing, so he picked what he thought would work. The second reason is that he had access to more information to game the system a little. The premise is like when you buy a new video game and decide to play it without RTFM. After creating a great character and making it to the end of the first act, you realize that, although your character may be kewl, it is gimped and will not survive until the end of the game. Going back to the start, you create a new character with the knowledge you gained from playing the game and perhaps, peeking at the manual.

Sometimes I wonder why the world isn't decorated with something as cool as magic... Why can't we manipulate the laws of the world? Why does the story about God sound too fake to be believed? Why the hope for this world to be saved from the bottom of everyone's heart can never be fulfilled... Then I landed on each conclusion from each of those questions... That humans are the most cunning, meanest and stupidest creatures who are most desperately expected to not have any power including magic itself. That it is not God that we should believe in, because they themselves do not believe in how disgusting human nature really is. That everyone's hope is not for the world to be saved, but for the world to be destroyed in order to save their own selves. That the world from the beginning, was not meant to be saved... (I frequently revise and update the use of sentences in the previous chapters without disturbing the original storyline. so sometimes it takes me a little longer to publish a new chapter.) I have the same novel posted on another website (Webnovel.com , creativenovels.com) with the same name (RELINQUISH)
