《Sinister》CH1: Basic History and Knowledge
Advertisement
So it has been two weeks since being reborn. My father’s name is Arrancar Del Relampago. He is in his early 30s with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has a scar on his face, right above his left eye. My father’s body is well built and toned, he was an adventurer until he met my mother and fell in love with her.
I don’t know who my mother is or how she looks like, the reason being that she died giving birth to me. That is one of the reasons my father is sad at the time. The other reason was me. It seems that after I was born, I didn’t cry or make any noise. I also didn’t even open my eyes. If it weren’t for my beating heart, everyone would have thought that I was born dead. I was in that state for a week. All the other villager and doctors and healers had given up on me, but not my father.
After a week I finally opened my eyes. My father was happy and relieved but still sad. The reason I was unconscious was because all the knowledge of this world was being transferred to my brain because of my third wish. When I woke up, I knew everything about this world, how to use magic, how to control mana and the ranking system of this world.
This world is known as Narth (lol). Narth has 5 continents. There is the ‘Dom’ continent where the demons live. ‘Evea’ the home of the elves. ‘Patook’ where dwarves reside. ‘Oceania’ is where beast-kin live and ‘Touro’ where I am right now, the human continent.
Long ago, all the lands were connected together and all the races lived together. But pace didn’t last. The humans wanted to rule supreme and they started a war. The Great War lasted for 2000 years. Having grown tired of all the fighting. The demon lord of the time gathered 1 person form each race and suggested to separate the land in five continents. Agreeing with the demon lord, the five great mages than separated the lands to what it is now. For stopping the Great War, those 5 mages became heroes of the world and pace has lasted between the races.
Evea, Patook, Oceania and Touro all have different kingdoms on their own continents and each kingdom has its own King/Queen. Expect Dom, where there is only 1 being that rules over the entire continent, The Demon lord.
Narth has 10 months a year and 31 days a month. There is no concept of weeks. The money system is: copper, silver and gold. 100 copper is equal to 1 silver, 100 silver is equal to 1 gold.
Each person on Narth can use magic. It is extremely rare for someone to be born without magic. In order to use magic everyone does an attribute test at the age of five. The test is done by placing your hand on a crystal ball. The ball had many layers. Each layer has a different colour and each colour represents a different attribute. When a person focuses their mana into the crystal ball their attribute colour lights up.
The colours are Red for Fire, Blue for water, Brown for earth, Sliver for wind, Black for darkness, White for light and Yellow for lightening. Most people have 2 or 3 attributes, 5 and 6 attributes is extremely rare and those with only one attribute are considered unless. Only the Great 5 heroes had all 7 attributes. That’s why they were able to separate the land into 5.

A beings attribute is determined my fated. It’s more or less just luck. If you’re lucky enough then you’ll have more than 1 attribute.
The reason 1 attribute is considered unless is because they cannot do spell fusion. Spell fusion is when a mage combines their attributes together and create a more destructive spell. The down side is that it takes years of focus and almost perfect mana control in order to do spell fusion. The highest number of attributes fused into one spell is four. But I don’t need spell fusion, lucky me.
Ranking determines how strong a person truly is. The ranks goes form the lowest rank to the highest rank. Omega, Delta, Gamma, Beta and Alpha. Each rank has sub-ranks, omega sub-ranks are: low-omega, omega and high-omega. The same rule applies for the other ranks. No one has ever reached the rank of high-alpha, not even the 5 Great heroes, they were only Alpha’s.
After I recalled the history and knowledge of Narth, I start looking around. I am currently alone in a small room lying on a baby bed. It’s hard to look around or move because of my weak body. With nothing better to do I once again started to access my new found knowledge, but not about this world, about the gods and the being who granted my wishes.
It is best to explain all of this form the very beginning. What came first the chicken or the egg? But in this context we should replace the chicken with the creator of all ‘GOD’ and the egg with the universe. No one knows the answer but it doesn’t matter because without either of them there would be no us.
The very first thing god created were the galaxies that filled up this universe. Within those galaxies he created stars and planets. In some planets he created mortals and while others were left empty. With so much lives in the universe he then created the greater gods, to look after the worlds he had created. But it was too much for the greater gods to handle. So they begged the creator of all ‘GOD’ for his help. So god then went on to create lesser gods.
Then the creator of all ‘GOD’ made a being as strong as him. This being cannot be killed as he was death himself. Fear took a hold of the greater and lesser gods because a being who could wipe them all out had appeared. The fear drove the gods to attack death, but death didn’t do anything. He just stood there, taking all of the god’s attacks. This continued for centuries without and results, as it is impossible to kill death itself. Having grown tired of the god’s attacks, death decided to fight back. But the creator of all ‘GOD’ had forbidden him for killing gods.
So death decided to create his own army to fight the gods in his place. Death created demons of hell but they were no match for the greater gods. Pissed, death then made his ultimate creations. The seven being who represent the seven flames of hell ‘The Severn Deadly Sins’.
The seven sins were as strong as if not stronger then the greater gods. The fight between the sins and greater gods ended up destroying many worlds. Than at last the creator of all ‘GOD’ intervened and stopped the war. And he made a rule that the greater gods and the seven deadly sins cannot ever again go to the mortal worlds with their full power and put an unbreakable seal on them.

So that is why they will only be able to use half their power. Well it’s fair enough. Now I try to access the knowledge of how to use magic and how to control mana.
In order to use a fire ball spell, I would need to take pure mana from my mana pool and then convert that pure mana into fire mana and then cast the fire ball spell. It is the same for all other attributes and there spells. It is extremely difficult to convert pure mana into an attribute mana. It takes years of practices and an excellent understanding of pure mana and attribute mana. The youngest person that successfully converted pure mana into attribute mana was 10 years old. In order to do spell fusions one must convert pure mana into different attribute mana at the same time.
I close my eyes and focus. After 10 minutes I can feel it, my mana pool. It’s big. I start to move the mana inside my body. Trying to control it. I don’t want to convert my mana into fire attribute mana because it can be dangerous to do so at a very young age. I will wait until I’m at least able to walk.
Just than the door opens and my father enters the room with a young woman. She looks to be in her early 20. With red hair that go all the way to her shoulders. Bright red eyes and big smile on her face. She looks beautiful, just amazing.
They both come close to my baby bed and father starts to talk
Father: “Lanza this is your mothers little sister. Your aunty Liza”
Liza: “his eyes are the same as sisters and don’t call me aunty. Makes me feel old. Oh my god he is so cute.”
Father: “Liza can you feed him now”
Liza: “Sure. Come on time for food”
I drunk her milk and then went to sleep. My daily routine is eating, sleeping and learning to control my mana. And just like that 3 months passed and I started to walk. My father and aunt were amazed.
I started to walk around the house and I looked outside the windows to see where I am. The house I live in is average size. With 3 bedrooms and a kitchen and a lounge. Looking outside all the houses look the same. My family wasn’t that rich, my father worked as adventurer. He had 3 attributes, water, earth and lightening and he was a low-gamma. So he usually left me and Aunt Liza for days to complete quests and bring the money. Aunt Liza had water and wind attributes and was low-gamma. She specialised in healing magic and used to work for the local adventurer’s guild as a healer. That was until I was born, so now she is at home looking after me and the house.
At 4 months old I started to convert my mana into attribute mana. And I must say that it is almost impossible. With all the knowledge that I have it should be easy but no. it takes me 30 minutes to only convert 10% of my mana into attribute mana and that is if I’m sitting completely still.
My new routine became eat, control my mana, convert my mana and then sleep at night.
Liza POV
I was at the adventures guild when I heard the news. My older sister had died giving birth to her child. I rushed out of the guild and to my sister’s house. I opened the front door and went to her bedroom. There she was, laying on the bed, with eyes wide open, they were lifeless and her body was not moving. I could not stop myself from crying, the tears wouldn’t stop coming out.
I get closer to her, she had beautiful red hair just like mine and bright red eyes. She had a forever gentle expression on her face.
Liza: “*hic* sis *hic* why say something please *hic*”
She was gone. After I calmed down a bit I exited the room and went into the room where the baby was. He was there. Like a little angle, his hair was the same colour as his father and a body so small.
But Arrancar and the healers had a worried expression on their faces. The child didn’t move nor did he cry, in fact he didn’t even make a single sound. I thought he was dead. But his heart was beating.
3 days had passed and still he didn’t cry or even moved. The village doctor tells Arrancar that his child might never wake up. But Arrancar doesn’t listen. He has lost too much already and he was not about to lose his son as well.
Liza: “don’t worry, he will wake up soon”
Arrancar: “yes he will. He is strong just like his old man”
Liza: “yea. Now go and get some rest. I will look after him”
After 4 more days had passed, even I had almost given up hope. But then suddenly he starts to move. I run out of the run and into Arrancar’s room.
Liza: “he is waking up, come quick”
We both run to his room to see that he is moving around his little arms and legs. Then he opens his eyes for a little moment. At that point Arrancar says
Arrancar: “Lanza Del Relampago, that shall be your name.”
Then Lanza falls asleep again.
After Lenza was born I started feeding him my milk and I now live in Arrancar’s house looking after Lenza. After 3 months he started to walk. Both Arrancar and I were surprised. To start walking at such a young age is unheard of. Just amazing. He will do great things in the future, I just know it.

Maker of Fire

The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age.

Blood & Honey #1
~A Wattys and Fiction Award winner*A lion does not need an invitation from a lamb. That is not the way of the predator. Predators take what they want, when they want it, however they please. And this belief that I am, that evil is, enslaved by the dark night is humorous to say the least. Why would any creator make their pupil inept of withstanding the lighted world when this planet is covered in daylight for half of its life span? No, our Maker did not instill such restrictions for, up here on these earthly lands, we are the gods of prey. ~ Tristan There is only one rule vampires must follow--Bite Hard. It is forbidden for humans to know vampires exist so you can imagine Tristan Darkos's surprise when he finds one that knows what he is. He can tell by the tremble of her body, the thump-thump of her pulse, and her dilated pupils. He's going to have to finish what some other vampire started. The problem is when Tristan gets close to this human his blood turns to fire and the thirst that burns in his throat that should spell her doom twists until he's consumed by another need--one that is evocative, primitive, and...wrong.If Tristan doesn't figure out the mystery that is Kinley Shea Rylan, it is certain whatever dark force her honey blood is summoning forth will be the end of him and, possibly, the end of the world as we know it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Author note: - This is an original work with my take on Vampires.
