《I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??》Chapter Sixteen: Compressing
Advertisement
In the very back of the cavity, behind a rather large rock, I could definitely see the deep darkness of a tunnel going, well, somewhere.
...It would be a waste not to explore it, right?...
-But I’d better bring Allan inside first, it would be a real shame if he caught a cold.
With a simple flick of the wrist, a tug of the mind, I sling right on back through the cave(hitting myself on a couple of rocks and walls in the meantime) and back to the entrance.
...Allan, you look rattled.
“Th-, there you are!”
Here I am! Glad you missed me, not that I missed you or anything, b-, baka…
“Were those red wolololves running by your making?!”
My making? Wolololves? Oh, right, they are, in fact, named Wolololves. Weird name.
Yup, that was me.
Nodd nodd.
“You-, and-, what’s this mana floating around me?!”
Well, I was afraid something might attack you, so I covered you in mana so if anything got close I could come right on back and defend you.
“...I see you’re making a lot of explanatory gestures, but I can’t hear you at all. I have no idea what you mean by that.”
Well, anyhow!
It was really just for proofing, and it seems to have worked, so…
With a wave of my hand, the mana previously floating around Allan quickly snaps, becoming a thick layer of mana directly around him instead.
Hm-hm-hm.
That’s a lotta mana.
Now that I think about it…
Don’t I have like 140 mana or something?
Wait.
Did all the mana I gained just flow right on back to Allan!?
Well, no time like the now!
“I-, I really don’t like the way you’re looking at me…”
Huehuehueheuheuehuheue…
Mana!
cOMe!!
Almost all the mana enshrouding Allan suddenly flowed through the tail-thing that connects the two of us, and right on into me.

POWER!! UNLIMITED POWER!!!!
Allan looks very concerned.
My body, however, is too pumped for plebs like him.
I start to swell in size, eventually becoming at least twice my original size.
T-, this…
Is very useless, I don’t like being this big.
Maybe letting Allan have some mana around him would be good protection?
Then again, that might make him rely too much on me…
Considering my wierd fight with the large red wolf just now, I could disappear at any time, along with my mana…
But, then again, being this big is sort of inconvenient.
I can barely get back in the cave…
Can I maybe…
Compress myself?...
Yeah, no, that sounds weird.
So, what do I do…
Hmm…
Ah! I know! I can ask Allan!
Allan!!
“Ah! Don’t turn to me like that!”
Like what?
“Like someone just remembering that last piggy he didn’t lead to the slaughter!”
I’d never turn to you like that!
“But you did.”
Wait.
Hold up.
Can you hear me.
“No, you’re just very expressive.”
Like what?
“Well, you held up both hands and waved a bit, like “stop” or “be quiet”, and then you pointed to yourself and then to me. I’d be pretty stupid not to catch that one-”
Ah! I see!
“In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone who moves as much as you do…”
Well, I only have my body, so…
Ah! Well then! Perhaps you can help me?
“I do what to you?”
Help me. You. Help. Me.
“...I get that I’m supposed to do something to or for you, but… I really, really can’t understand that sign in between. What does rubbing your hands together even mean?”
Help!
Help me!!
Well, you already seem quite confused enough, so…
Alright.

Me. Shrink. How?
“You wanna get smaller?”
Yes! Exactly!!
“I thought you were a Magnus, aren’t you supposed to be a master of mana?”
Not quite. Nonono. Not.
Come on!
Help! Me!
“You want me to shrink you?”
Just tell me how. Please. I want to explore the tunnel before this chapter ends.
“Well, there goes my expectations… I don’t quite remember what grandma told me, but I think she told me that once you reached Lv.10, all the mana you had would become compressed to double density, making it easier to control and more powerful. Maybe you could try that?”
Aha! So that was the answer!!
Well well well, nothing can stop me now!
Hnnnngggg!!
Hooouuuuu…
This is going to be hard.
I’m going to have to control my very mana-atoms, aren’t I?...
Last time I did, it hurt and I got burned, literally…
Anyhow.
Compress compress compress compress…
Instead of each and every molecule coming closer, maybe I should just exert great pressure into the center of me?
Hm.
Forgive me, Allan…
“Wh-, what are you-,”
All my mana rushed back around Allan, creating a one or two meters thick shell.
Now to just…
Pressurize…
“What-,”
Huuuu… Thuum!!
I could feel my orb shaking in response to the constant pressure I was putting on myself(and Allan(RIP)).
And with a loud boom, I was suddenly half my size.
- You have compressed to double density. All mana gained will be automatically compressed. -
My body, or, atleast, what I could see from Allans perspective-ish, was far more blue than before, and it even shimmered a little.
I quickly detached from Allan and reformed my body.
Nice.
Alright Allan, let’s head inside!~

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).

Winter Sovereign
Serra Recquir, a boy born in the world of Sierra, was born with weak and with mediocre talent. Despite the odds, he pursued the path of cultivation. He faced numerous trials, deadly foes and great friends. Eventually, he stepped into the world of the Divine Realm. Breaking past the limits of the world and traveling to higher planes. After millions of years, he finally reached the summit. Becoming a Sovereign Paragon. Longing for the world he left countless years ago, he finally returns to his own world. Author's Note: This story is different from other wuxia novels. If those novels focus on characters that struggle from the bottom and reach the top, this story is one where someone already reached the top. I figured it would be interesting to start a novel from this concept so I started it. Well, however this plays through, just like how I finished my previous novel, Doll's Smile, I'll finish this novel too. Of course, I'm writing this novel just for fun. I like to write lighthearted novels like this. Novels that I would read while listening to music and eating snacks on a pleasant and relaxing afternoon. Do forgive me if I'm slow in writing.
