《Grand Magus》Chapter 31 Experimenting with dark rope
Advertisement
Black dots formed in front of Fraser's palm as the runic spell model ball dark rope absorbed spirit in order to form something along the lines of a magnetic attraction.
Quickly a black wooden log formed in front of Fraser's palm and it was about 6 meters long or about twenty feet.
‘Does controlling the dark rope cause my spirit to vanish? Maybe I don’t even need to focus the dark rope on my hand palms. Maybe I can even create a dark rope simply by forming it near my body. Maybe there is some kind of practice that needs to be done in order to control the spirit from the whole body.’
Moving the black wooden log which followed his palms, Fraser would always glance towards his body stats in order to calculate whether controlling the dark rope would need spirit.
Without any surprise moving the dark rope with his hands didn’t need any additional spirit.
Instead, Fraser felt like he controlled a weightless staff which he didn’t need to grasp and would always follow his hands.
Focusing back to his spirit room Fraser could see a weird thing happening. The spell model of dark rope would stick towards the jelly wall of the spirit room.
Fraser could see how the runic ball shape opened in two directions. The first direction on which the spell model opened was towards the spirit room, probably absorbing spirit.
The second opening was towards the jelly wall of the spirit room.
‘Does the spell model act like a converter of spirit power? Maybe it can be compared to something like electricity and machines, the spirit is electricity and the spell model are machines, so each spell model is a machine, designed to do something with the electricity and the machine can always be re-designed in order to increase its functions. Something similar to the modified spell models.’

Fraser pondered about it while looking at the runic spell model ball which now looked like a runic tunnel.
‘If I shift the position, does that mean….?’
The black wooden log wandered from his palms towards his arm, only to end up on his belly.
Now it looked like a black wooden log floated above Fraser's belly.
Glancing at the spirit gauge Fraser could see that the spirit increased faster than usual.
‘So moving the spell model around the spirit room also means moving the spell model around my body. Does that mean that the spirit room is an abstraction to my body? Maybe it is a symbol of my soul. I need to gather more knowledge about the spirit room. There is a high chance it is the key to being a Magus. Also what would happen when I squeeze the runic tunnel?’
With a quick thought, Fraser squeezed the runic tunnel into something smaller: a runic staff, though only the staff surface was covered with runes, the inside was hollow.
Looking back into his private Chambers Fraser could see that the black wooden log turned into a pitch black rope.
Though it didn’t look like a rope, instead it looked like a staff in the color of pitch black.
‘As I am able to change the shape of the dark rope by squeezing the spell mode, then…’
The dark rope projected out of Fraser's belly started to shake like a real rope. To be honest, Fraser thought the spell looked like a pitch black whip rather than a dark rope.
‘So influencing the spell model in the spirit room will also influence the spell in the reality.’
Fraser continued to make the dark rope wiggle while also testing whether the dark rope would be able to grab things.
In order to test that Fraser used empty glass flasks and slowly wrapped the dark rope around it in order to lift it.

It failed.
Miserably.
As soon as Fraser tried to lift the glass flask it got crushed under the force of the spell model.
The glass flask splintered into countless fragments.
Without any delay Fraser continued to test his spell model dark rope, however this time he used more objects, an empty wooden crate which once stored the bloodstones for the basic wound mending potion, an old wooden table which he found in one of the rooms, a stool which looked like a bigger stone and a few old craps left behind by the former inhabitants of the chamber.
The result surprised Fraser, the wooden crate got crushed without any real resistance, the wooden table wasn’t even able to take one slap of the dark rope before splitting into two pieces and the stone which probably got used as a stool got crushed into stone fragments and chippings as Fraser tried to lift it.
‘So the dark rope isn’t used as a second arm, instead, it is used as a whip in order to slap things away. I can’t even lift things as most would get crushed under the force caused by the dark rope.’
This caused Fraser to frown. His plan was something along the lines of using the dark rope as a slingshot in order to throw his basic explosion potions or normal stones in order to have a ranged attack. Also, Fraser imagined the dark rope as a controlling skill which would allow him to bind his enemies.
The rather huge might of the dark rope wasn’t something that Fraser deemed as bad, instead, it was the fact that Fraser couldn’t even control how much force the rope used.
‘I don’t know how I should control the power of the rope. I tried to feed the spell model less spirit yet the only thing that happened was that the dark rope vanished.’
Fraser pondered for a while before trying to split the runic staff into two halves.
‘As the dark rope, in reality, would follow the changes of the spell model in the spirit room, it is worth a try.’
Concentrating, Fraser used his spirit in order to slowly separate the runic staff in his spirit room into two halves.
Looking back into reality Fraser could see that the pitch black rope also split into two.
Just as Fraser wanted to experiment with the result a severed pain shot through his head.
The dark rope in front of his which split into two halves vanished within the blink of an eye, the spell model also turned back into a runic ball floating in his spirit room.
Sweat poured out of Fraser's body as he immediately asked:
‘AI, scan the state of my body. Search for the cause of the headache and immediately report the cause.’
[Spirit reached a critically low of 0.01]
‘Urgh, AI safe the data in the specific folder of dark rope.’
With that last command, Fraser wobbled through his chamber, ignoring the chaos he caused.
Splinters and fragments of wood and stone were scattered around in the test room.
Passing through a few rooms Fraser reached his bed and fell on top of it.
Closing his eyes Fraser embraced the sweet allure of sleep and thus allowing his spirit to recover.
Fraser's last thoughts before sleeping were: ‘Probably the splitting of the spell model caused my spirit consumption to spike.’

Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]

Twoen
The struggle for an interesting game has been the story of my life for quite some time. Every game I find is either too easy, not interesting or too short. Luckily, my two brothers who match my level of skill, albeit in different areas, tend to spice things up. When I look at my older brother I have no idea how he gets anything done when he's such an idiot. Still it doesn't detract from my respect for him as a gamer, though maybe a little. When I look at my younger brother I marvel at the monster that my older brother and I created. Deadliness, craftiness and quiet, both in what he does and how he is. When it's just us three we tend to destory everything in our path. So normally we tend to compete rather than team. Although that isn't to say we're just good as individuals. When we work together our effectiveness multiplies rather than lowering. Well enough about us dorks. Anyway a new VR game came out, apparently in development for quite some time. Of course my older brother decided to drive out and buy three copies. What would this one be missing? Difficulty? Depth? Length? In any case I plan to reach the top before my brothers do. It was a competition after all. Twoen had all three things I normally yearn for in spades. Something I did not foresee. A keeper
