"Here kid," one of the Frontier Guild supervising attendants handed Miles a white crystal card. "See if you have any luck with—" the man's words promptly stopped as Miles touched the crystal card and instantly lit the construct alight.

Grade: Epic
Rate Law: 25x
Description: Welp, it's honestly not that unexpected to see you possess a talent of this degree when every other talent you've discovered about yourself (thus far) is so atrocious. Yeah, it works on some sort of balancing system or whatever but that's irrelevant to this Talent's Description. The point is, you have a lot of potential for casting Healing Magic. Like, enough to instantly learn all Common Healing Skills and easily reach Level 200 even if you trained at a leisurely pace in this lifetime.

"Uh… Sorry about the crystal card," Miles bashfully said, cutting the tension that had filled the now-silent room with his inability to read the social environment.
"Forget the card," the supervisor who had handed him the card grabbed Miles on both his shoulders. "What about the Spell? Did you seriously just instantly learn that Healing Spell?"
"I guess I did," Miles tilted his head and mildly thought, 'I mean, I know all the steps to cast Restore. But, I haven't really gone through the motions yet to see if it'll work out for me.'
"Kid, do you know what this means?!" The supervisor shook Miles until he suddenly stopped. "This… This would be unprecedented. A Healing Talent comparable to the Setting Stars' Founders..."
The man suddenly produced a knife from… somewhere. He slammed his left hand onto the table to his right and then used his right hand to drive the knife through the middle of the back of his left hand!
"Sir..." Miles didn't know how to react, and yet…
"Holy shit!"
"That guy's fucking insane."
"Yo, he really just stabbed himself..."
Mile's reaction was among the most tame and respectful.
Pulling the knife out of his hand with a face that didn't show even a hint of pain, the supervisor addressed Miles, "Come on kid, if you really learned that Spell at the touch of a crystal, use it on me."

[New Quest Alert]
[Side Quest 3: Standard Issue Healing Tutorial… Start!
Description: Ignore the insane circumstances revolving around this event. Frontier Guild members ought to be a little crazy with all the shit they see outside the safety of the empire's walls. Instead, take this opportunity to test your Healing Skills in a controlled environment! With a willing recipient, no less.
Rewards: 5 System Points per successful cast of a Healing Spell.]
"Thanks for the opportunity… I guess," Miles bowed.
He raised his right hand and extended his index finger, taking aim at the supervisor's wound. At the tip of his extended finger, a white crest formed of magic lines instantly manifested and glowed as Miles narrowed his eyes.
[Skill "Healing Spell: Lesser Restore" activated]
No less than a second later, his target — the supervisor's wounded, bleeding hand — glowed with the same light and literally restored itself to its former, healthy state. There was no left over blood, nor a scar to suggest the man had stabbed his hand in the first place.
As Miles took a deep breath and subconsciously called for his Status to estimate how many more times he'd need to cast the spell for it to Level Up, the supervisor and most everyone else present were having internal meltdowns about what they had just witnessed.
Miles was supposed to be a Primary Cultivator; a talentless wreck with a worthless Class to match. He should not have been capable of instantly learning a Healing Spell, nevermind successfully cast the Spell he had just learned moments prior. Even specialized, unique Healing Classes found only in the descendants of a Clan's main branch wouldn't be able to pull that off.
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my— Wait!" Miles' supervisor struck mental eureka as he realized his thoughts about Miles' talents were shaping up to meet his expectations.
Faster than most present could react, the man flickered out and back into the room with more white crystal cards. Practically forcing them onto Miles, he said, "Here, these are all the other Common Healing Spell cards we currently have. Let's see if your talent holds up for the rest—"
Just then, one of the cards made contact with Miles' bare skin and exploded into a shower of light. The supervisor in all his enthusiasm decided then and there to just put the rest of the cards in Miles' hands and thus, the room momentarily reached blinding levels of brightness.

8 177GIG: God In Gold
So let's cut the pretense: this is some garbage-tier weaboo fiction. I have no idea what I'm doing, but I feel it's important to say that this is some nonsense I write for fun. I don't think it's very good. I'd even go as far as to say that I'm not a good writer at all. I picked up a ball that started rolling when I was a kid and have been intermittently punting it towards the next chapter whenever I feel like it. And you can come on this garbage ride too if you really feel like it. Who knows, maybe there's some gold to be salvaged from this dumpster fire? Synposis: Satou Shibuya is a first year student at Niflheim's Kawagusa General Academy. He's also the self-proclaimed strongest power user, sporting a big enough number on his birth certificate to make a nuclear bomb glow green with envy. There's something to be said about a person whose head is so far up their own ass that you find yourself watching their every move with bated breath, ever curious to see which hole they'll dig themselves into next. This is not that kind of story. This is a story about pride, coming of age, but actually, this is a story about big, stupid superpowered fights. Update Schedule: Whenever.
8 183Chronicle of Lost Reminiscence
The world of Retintia is a vast and beautiful world, filled to the brim with all sorts of creatures, magic and mystery. One day, a boy wakes up at the edge of the kingdom, his memories gone. There was no one around him, and he had no idea about where he was. The only thing he knew about himself was his name - Nashiro. As he stumbles around in confusion, he finds a village. He felt a brief moment of joy before he realized the dark truth, the people of the village had been slaughtered. Was he a part of the assault? Perhaps he was a villager? Or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Determined to know more about himself and recover his memories, follow the story of a boy on a quest to reclaim his lost identity in a vast and dangerous world of grand opportunities, malicious individuals and magical intrigue. ---------------------------------- Hello there, this is a story I came up on my own. As an author, I'd like to interact with my community and get ideas and what I can improve on. I'm not perfect and don't expect a masterpiece. I may have a bit of experience writing as a hobby, I make mistakes and my style is a bit rough around the edges. I hope you stick around and watch me build this story up. I don't have a predetermined schedule and the releases will be slow. Since I got college, my schedule is most likely 1-2 chapters a month but that shouldn't be that bad since I get some time to think about what I can write in the story. Again, my apologies for that. I hope I have your support moving forward and that you enjoy the characters and their journies.
