《I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??》Chapter Eight: Lost in the Woods

…
I don’t know where I am…
Hell, I can’t even remember which way I came from!
Allan…
You poor, poor child.
I gently picked him up in my non-material arms, and chose a direction at random.
North(?) it is.
…
…..
………
“Guu?...”
Shhh, don’t worry Allan, we’ve only been wandering around the impenetrable darkness for an hour or so, I’m sure we can get back home soon.
“Gu.”
His little blue eyes moved left and right, peering into the black night.
“Gu?!”
Ssshshshhshhhhh…!!
I know it’s super spooky and dark and cold but don’t worry I’ll keep you warm and cozy for as long as I can Ally!
“Gu…”
D-, don’t look at me like that!
I didn’t do this!
A-, anyhow! We must almost be the-,
*Shuffle*
Hii!!
I clutched onto Allan, who didn’t make a sound in response to the rustling of the bushes.
“Chihiihihi…”
Wh-, what was that?...
Are-, are those eyes…?
From within the bushes, a thousand little red eyes peeked out.
At me.
And Allan.
Oh fuck.
“CHIHIHEIEHEIHEIEHIEHEIHEIEHI”
“CHIHEIEHIEHEIEHIEHIEHEIHEIHEIHEHEIHEIEH”
“CHIHEIHIEHIEH”
“CHIHIEHIEHEIHEIEHIHEIEHE”
Oh god oh fuck that’s a lot.
You remember that rat-thing I killed earlier?
There’s a bunch of them.
Like, fifty.
At least.
Can they turn off their glow or something?...
I have no idea, but…
I need to protect Allan.
This is going to be-,
“Chie!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Ouch fuck!
One of the rats fucking bit me!
I’m… not going to die here, right?
This kids life hangs on me!
We’re not going down like this!!
But, then, ho-,
“Chieheie!!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Argh!
Alright, fuck, uh, this is going to hurt even more, but…
Arg-,
- Due to transmutation into plasma, you will now lose 1 mana per second. You have a total of 21/40 mana. -
Come here you piece of fucking shit I’ll burn you alive
“Chie…”
Ah! Don’t retreat on me! Come on man!

It’s just fire!
Lunging at the little hairball, I pressed my one burning finger into its fluffy little belly, which immediately caught on fire.
Ooo, nice and hot.
“CHIEEEEEEEEEEEE-”
The little piece of furry shit ran in circles for a second before runnings away into the darkness, most likely never to be seen again.
The rest of the rats stared at me blankly.
Come on, I got plenty of mana to burn…!!
“.......”
- You have gained 6 mana and 4 exp for defeating a Will ‘o Wisp. -
Niceeeee, now fucking get over here
“Ch-, CHIEEEEEE!!”
A rat lunged at me, shrieking like hell all the while.
Yeah, just come and get i-,
“Guu?...”
OH FUCK ALLAN
Using my burning left hand, which wasn’t clutching Allan, I attempted to grab the rat from the air.
It must have been an acrobat of sort, since it twisted in the air, clutching onto my arm instead of being caught in my burning hand.
“Chiehiehie!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Fuck!
This is gonna hurt, but fuck it, I gotta set fire to my arm!
I could probably get entirely intangible so they would go through me, but then they would probably attack Allen, which is just wo-,
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Ow fuck okay!
My entire arm burst into flames, causing the little shit to screetch loudly before falling to the ground in agony.
- You are now losing 5 mana per second due to the size. -
Fuck shit put it out!
- You are now losing 1 mana per second. You have 12/40 mana left. -
FuuuuUUUUCk
“CHIIEeeeeee-...”
- You have gained 6 mana from defeating a Will ‘o wisp. -
Alright! Fuck! Get over here!!
Can I?...
If they won’t come to me, can’t I just…
Extend my burning finger to them??
Hehe.
Hehehehehe.
HEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEH
FUCKING DIIIEEEEEEEEE
“Ch-, CHIEEEEEEE-,”
“Chi-chi-CHIEEEE”
“CHIIIEEEE OWWW FUCKKK CHIEEEEEEEEEE”

Where did they go?
Look to the left, nothing.
Look to the right, nothing.
Eh?...
GAH-,
- You have received magical damage from the Light Strike(lv.2) spell. You have lost 6 mana. -
Whaaaaatttt???
I spin around to where the blast came from.
Is-, is that?...
A tiny pyramid of rats.
Ten rats stood on eachother, their individual manas forming into one.
The one at the very top was standing on its hind legs, arms in the air, tail and glowing ball high above its head.
M-, mage?!
“Chiechierrma chierraroro chieie chiorma…”
The mage mumbled some spell(maye??), making the eyes of the other rats light up, and say:
“”“Chieronomo!!”””
All in unison, as light started gathering in the glowing ball.
Th-, this is?!?
The light shot out in a beam, and if I hadn’t already been shielding me and Allan, it would definitely have hit me.
- You have received magical damage from the Light Strike(lv.2) spell. You have lost 4 mana. -
Ow fuck!!
Shit!
Take my flaming vengeance, heRATic!!
“Chie!?”
Flame spilled out of my hand, knocking the tower of Ratylon right on over, and as the flaming construction crumbled in flames, the mage looked up at me, stating:
“Chie, chiehie, chiehie chi. Chie!”
Ch-, chie.
I see.
- You have gained 32 mana and 12 exp from defeating 9 Will ‘o whispers. -
- You have gained 17 mana and 6 exp from defeating Willy. You now have 40/40 mana and 39/40 exp. -
...Willy…
You were a great foe.
“Chie…”
Chiehie…”
I could hear squeaks all around me.
From every bush and every tree and every little corner between the roots of trees, a squeak could he heard and a pair of read eyes gleamed.
“Chiechiechiechiechiehciechiehciechiechiechiechiehciechiechiehciehicceichiehchichichcehecicehcheichiccihceichichichichcihichcihcihcihcichecihceichechicehehciehcihehhceechcihi….”
…
That is… extremely worrying.
“CHIEEEEEEEE”
One rat squealed loudly, lunging at me from the top of a tree.
Aha! Time to bu-,
Oh
Fuck
All the rats just lounged.
At least twenty or thirty of them.
I didn’t even had time to thing before I cradled Allan in my arms, and set my whole body ablaze in a glorious, single blast of magical fire and fury. I couldn’t even hear the dying shrieks of the endless charred rats before I had used up all my mana and the world went dark.
As I hoped to god Allan survived, I heard messages popping up in the back of my head.

Greg Veder vs The World
The average person can easily understand that when it comes to living in a villain-infested, crime-filled city like Brockton Bay, treating life like a game can get you killed. It's kind of ironic, then, that Greg Veder has always been far more serious about games than he ever has about life. (Worm/The Gamer AU)

The Core: The First Guest (Book 1 of 3)
Book two starts here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/46417/the-core-the-hive-daughter-book-2-of-3 --- Kevin was just a normal 10 year old kid until he saw a woman vanish right before his eyes. This made Kevin just a little bit different. He paid more attention to people now. Little did he know that this little difference would kill him the next time he encountered another alien about to return home. It would tear him apart, cell by cell, until he was unmade. His mind being transported away. So distantly far away there is a race that advanced to the point where they built dyson spheres to house their civilizations. In their continual expansion, they seeded galaxies with pods and connection satellites. Over time they upgraded their dyson spheres into matryoshka brain Cores. Imagine a computer powered by a star. Citizens of Cores no longer age once they upload their minds into the virtual living system of the Core. While they didn’t age, most still choose to cycle through life and death though at a different scale of time compared to our lives. Citizens can visit other planets and live there as if they were on a "vacation". Mercury is Earth’s hub connected to the closest Core and Earth is a remote vacation spot for wealthy citizens. When the main character was 10 he witnessed a citizen returning to the Core. The story continues 10 odd years later when he again witnesses a similar situation unfolding and manages to touch the person returning to the Core. This causes him to be swept up in the transfer as well and for his mind to join as a "Guest" user of the Core. As a Guest he has limited powers, a starting balance of zero cr or Citizen credits, and no idea how he can get home. He is the first human to ever become a Guest of a Core. Where money itself is the highest form of their science. --- Progress update: Progress update: COMPLETE Stories:✦The Core: The First Guest (The Core: Book 1 of 3) ✦The Core: The Hive Daughter (The Core: Book 2 of 3) The Core: The Hive Daughter (Book 2 of 3) | Royal Road Stories in PROGRESS:✦The Core: The Dark Enemy (The Core: Book 3 of 3)PROJECTED Stories and Series: ★The Radiative Zone Series: The Girl with Powers (3 book series) ✶The Convective Zone Series: Into the Game (3 book series) This series is a work in progress.

Saga of the Great Wolf
In the Dragon Seal Universe, humans worship the Celestial Court of the Dragon Gods. As per the edicts of the Celestial Court, humans Cultivate the Dao to seek strength and rise above their common roots. If they rise to one day serve the Dragon Gods directly, they have the chance to be initiated into the Greater Secrets of the Daos, which can allow them to live for millions of years. Coalescence, the Path to Transcendence, is considered a Heretical Art of the Demonic War Masters, whose evil empire was said to have been overthrown hundreds of millennia in the past by the Celestial Court. Wolves, a species that are said to have once served the War Masters, are listed by the Temple of the Celestial Court as one of the most corrupt of Demonic Beasts. They are killed on sight. Surrounded by the Demonic Wildlands and protected by the ancient Watch Towers, a number of human nations and empires thrive atop the Great Plateau. Cultivators rule over the general populace and the Temple of the Celestial Court rules over the Cultivators. Anyone caught practicing Coalescence is sentenced to death by torture. I am half human and half Wolf. Since I am already under a death sentence for my Bloodline, there is nothing to stop me from setting out on the Path of Coalescence. As I promised my mother, I will grow strong. When I am strong enough, I will destroy the Dragons and Dragon Gods. I will set this world, once known as Sirius, free from their chains. Releases will be on Tuesdays & Fridays.

Re:Mento Mori
When Ryuji, a disgruntled salaryman, is supposed to reach an unfortunate end, he is instead thrust into a new world, inhabiting a body that isn't his own. Forced into a world filled with strife and death, can he claim freedom and happiness? Or will his turbulent new life only lead to suffering and pain? As with every time-loop story written by an amateur author, this is heavily inspired by Re:Zero. If I had to explain my book, I would say imagine Re:Zero, but the main character can actually fight people instead of just getting merked every time he meets someone with a weapon. The themes of this story are dark, so be forewarned. This is my first story so keep that in mind while reading it.
