《Re:Direction The Peak (Cultivation Tale)》CH. 29

Once he woke up and realized the situation, it didn't take him long to understand what hapenned. He wasn't a smartass nor a doctor but he didn't need to in order to understand what was going on. He made two spears and strangely bled out twice. Both things being related seemed to be quite probable...
Scratch that, it was obvious.
As such, he sent the rest of the month studying what he could do inside his soul sea. Of course, instead of going to the library, he tried it by himself. Which meant that he ended up spending a lot of time unconscious and even more time bleeding.
At the end of the month, he got out of his house. He had learnt a lot. Turned out that it wasn't solely because he made one spear. It was because he shaped a certain quantity of will. He had tried to shape smaller spears and it worked. Better yet, he only lost consciousness after reaching a certain number of those. Little by little, he understood the limit and experienced its growth through training.
Now, he basically had thousands of minuscule spears inside the darkness of his soul sea. And while he wasn't sure what to do with them, he knew he would find something.
Still, at the moment, there was something else he had to do. Throughout the month, he became closer with his two neighbours and spent most afternoon having tea with them. When they weren't doing things outside and such, of course. Today was one such day where they stayed at home. And since he spent the morning sleeping, because he had played in his soul sea, it was now afternoon. Which was the time to drink some tea with his new friends.
They chatted of random things and joked around. Then, Han-Bi ended up asking him: "You've been looking very sickly these last few weeks, is something wrong, little brother Jin?" He certainly couldn't hide it. The blood loss did take a toll on him and the mental fatigue was real. Even if he took rests and replenished what he was losing, he had the body of a child. This whole thing had been rather taxing on him and it showed.

As such, he didn't lie. After a sigh, he said he had a problem. The other two became serious and he decided to ask them what troubled him these past few days: " Let's say you have a sphere that you want to mold into a strand. But you can only make spears. How do you do that? "
The both of them looked at each other. Considering Jin had yet to forge his core, it was obvious that it referred to that. However they couldn't quite pinpoint where the spear-thing came from. Regardless, they decided to try to think of a solution to what he asked. He was being very open about his problem already so they should at least give some pointers...
Sang-Min asked him: "How many spears you got? How big are they compared to the sphere?" and Jin answered: "Unlimited numbers, all sizes." to which Han-Bi added: "Then you have a lot of leeway, don't you?" But Jin shook his head as she said that and he told her: " A spear can only do so much... Slashing, Piercing, Hitting... Not molding "
Sang-Min nodded and said wisely: " It is best to use your hands to mold clay, shouldn't it be the same here? Just stop using spears and use your hands instead " It was a sound advice. After all, if you couldn't do it with something, you could try something else. The problem was that Jin couldn't. He had tried many times to shape other things, anything, but failed every single damn time. Only spears could be shaped. He couldn't understand why but that was the hard cold truth.
Jin sighed as he shook his head sideways and explained: "If I could have done so, I wouldn't be having a problem. I only got spears " and Sang-Min told him with a grin: " Then why don't you use the spears to make hands? The hands of spears~ Or something like that? "

As he heard it, his eyes nearly poppet out. Right. It was more than doable. He couldn't believe he hadn't thought of that. Sometimes there are dumb solutions and sometuimes those work. He couldn't make hands and only spears. But he could move and resize the spears however he wished. So, couldn't he use the spears to make hands? He could!
In his elation, he got up and screamed at Sang-Min: "You're a genius! Thank you!" then rushed away back to his house and his bedroom. Leaving behind himself two young adult quite bewildered by his act. They looked at each other and Sang-Min said with a grin: " Heard that? I'm a genius. Still not falling for me? " Han-Bi snorted as she decided not to retort and instead opted to sip some tea. It was, as usual, delicious tea...
Meanwhile, in his bedroom, Jin sat down and entered his soul sea. It was still dark but filled with thousands of very small spears. He began to will them to move and little by little 'fused' them into the shape of a hand. Unfortunately, they weren't really fused as they remained many entities but he forced them to remain close enough together that it would work. He made two very small hands of spears and was ready.
As he exited his soul sea, he noticed a very small drop of blood dripping from his nose. It seemed like moving so many at once in a complex pattern was taking a toll on his endurance. But it wasn't that dangerous. And it seemed like he would be able to use it for some time before he bled to unconsciouness again. His limit and control had gone up throughout the month too so he was quite confident in himself.
He took out a candle and lit it. As the dots appeared, he jumped and swallowed three. He felt more and more like pac-man as he cultivated... Was pac-man actually a cultivator?
Anyways, he had absorbed the three dots required to form a triangle. Time to work on it.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
8 124Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?
