《Sirius: Evolution of A Star》Chapter 0005- Unification Arc#2: Skill Regression
Advertisement
His hands got destroyed numerous times. But he remade them and continued throwing the stones.
To enhance his control, he also tested other things like juggling with the rocks.
Gradually he improved.
[Power increased by 2]
[Dexterity increased by power 2]
[Grip increased by 2]
[Vessel Control Leveled Up]
Resting on the ground, spreading his arm wide, “All that grinding for just 2 points?” he added, “This doesn’t feel fair at all,”
[Status Will Naturally Increase on Leveling Up]
[You can also use your skill points]
“I guessed that much,” he pointed.
When Sirius first started grinding, it was during mid-afternoon. The planet’s day and nighttime were like Earth’s.
Seven hours passed. The Light was getting dim, and the sun was about to set.
“Now, I cannot even see the tree, and it’s getting hard collecting the stones,” Sirius himself was emitting little Light, but it was not enough.
His light coverage was around 2 meters, so he decided to instead begin cutting the plants. This time, with his increased Dexterity, he held the plants gently using his stone hands.
He assembled around 100 stems and began planting them on a plane field. But his hands were made up of smooth stones, which made digging difficult.
He recalled seeing big and solid rocks in the forest. After searching for a while, he found them and replaced the smooth stones with rough stones. He rubbed his fingers with hard stones for a while to give them a sharp edge.
Then after he started digging and planting the stems.
“Finally, all done!” he proclaimed in relief.
[Some flowers are rising]
“Eh! So soon”, he cried in surprise.
[The planet is enriched with vitality and magic]
[They serve as a natural fertilizer for the plants]
[But they will need sunlight to fully mature]
“Humm, sunlight, could my rays act as an alternative for sunlight?”
[Yes, they could, but for that, you would have to cover the entire planted area with Light]
“Previously, during the formation of the planet, I constantly absorbed heat, and I can feel much of that energy remaining within me,” He continued, “What if I release the stored energy in the form of light.”
[Your skill absorbs heat and stores it in the form of pure energy or magic]
Advertisement
[The law of thermodynamics deals with the conversion of one energy in the form of other]
[You still do not know how to convert heat energy into light energy]
[if you release the pure energy accumulated within you, it will get released in the form of heat, turning the planet into wasteland once again]
“So, I require first to master it. But how do I do that of there is always a risk of the planet getting wreaked,”, He asked.
[Your is a unique skill]
[You need to have the skill go through Skill Regression]
“Oh, I see dividing it into further small skills, and once I learn them, recombining them to gain the initial skill.”, he thought. He added, “Usually, in games, to combine two skills, you need points, but here I am separating the skill, so will some points be gifted to me?”
[No]
“What a disappointment!” he added, “Begin Skill Regression.”
[Starting Skill Regression]
New Skill: [Flash Level. 1] Obtained
New Skill: [Heat Drain Level. 1] Obtained
New Skill: [Heat Compression Level. 1] Obtained
“Humm, three skills, can you explain their function?”
[Flash: Converts Pure Energy into Light Energy and emits bright rays to blind an opponent. Also carries some radiation]
[Heat Drain: Absorbs the heat of the objects the user touch]
[Heat Compression: As its name suggests, it compresses heat]
[I granted the most suitable skills]
“Wow, you can really do anything, can’t you.” he praised
[Of course]
“I was always curious, but how much information about this world do you hold within you?”
[I know everything that is registered within the system from ordinary to the extinct beast, elves to humans, everything and everyone]
[But new species get born every day, and there are species with little know information about them]
[So, I am not all knowing]
“Can you identify the levels and race of monsters?”
[Yes]
[But the higher your level, the less the information I am allowed to give]
“I see, but I need not worry about such things since I am still level 1. Besides, I have lived for long my knowledge about the world might not be any less than yours,” he exclaimed.
After a while, he tried his new gained skill

Little rays came out of him that covered around an area of 15 meters. He kept trying. After a while, he shone brightly with whitish-blue rays that covered the entire planted land.
He was in the middle of the field, shining like a miniature sun.
The area of the framed land was around 5000 square meters.
Soon, the plants grew.
But maintaining the skill was difficult, like how tightening a fist is easy but holding it for hours is difficult. He was feeling the same regularly using
But he did not stop
[Flash Leveled Up]
Morning at arrived, the sun rose, the planet was bright again,
[Flash Leveled Up]
“Phew, finally, the skill also rose by two levels,” he cried, filled with joy.
“But don’t the flowers look different,”
The original flowers from which he had taken the stems were red blossoming flowers with thorny branches and green vines. The flowers were unlike the regular flowers on Earth. Here they grew as large as 1 meter.
But the flowers that grew under Sirius warmth and Light changed their form and shape. The petals were blue and scarlet. They blossomed like a lotus while holding their face high.
[The plants also seem to have mutated under your Light]
[They have also gained a skill]
“Skill?” Sirius looked at the flowers facing towards the sun; their petals shone brightly. Another inner set bloomed from the outset of petals and released a white orb towards the sky.
Over 100 flowers bloomed under the sunlight. The white orbs flew towards the sky; drifting within the atmosphere, guided by the wind, the spheres fell on a far land. The fallen orb acted as a seed for another plant to grow.
The energy plants absorbed from the sunlight formed the orbs and converted Light into magic.
“Whoaa!” he exclaimed in surprise.
[The plants will grow from their own now]
[Each day, your area will Expand by about 100 sq Meters]
[they have also granted you experience points]

[You have been Granted 2 EXP]
“Just 2, I see, guess my domain is still not fully made,” he thought further, “The Area will increase on their own, so, now better so focus on the number of Species.”
In front of him, a flutter of butterflies arrived and hovered over the flowers.
Grubs, Beetles, Bees, grasshoppers also arrived soon.
The butterflies flew with colorful, iridescent scales in overlapping rows.
Puzzled by the situation, he asked, “Wow! What attracted them here?”
[It was the scent of the flowers]
[You lack the sense of smell, so you did not realize, but the flowers emitted a seductive smell that attracts insects and living beings]
“Oh, yes, I did not consider that. If that’s the case, once the flower field grows large enough, it should also attract more living beings.”
[You have been Granted 1 EXP]
“Eh, one exp, does that mean those insects are considered under me?”
[The insects have found the environment suitable and migrated here for a while]
[They now depend on the resources you created]
[It’s like an indirect submission]
“I see so, even things like that count.”, he added, “You said there are subspecies present in this area; are they the friendly type, or do I need to tame them?”
[Some might need slight handling]
“I see.”
“Better be prepared,” he thought.
Thinking back, the insects had flashed in front of him. He had no sense of sound, so he could not detect them coming. If a monster attacked him from behind, he would be in trouble.
He wanted to avoid that, so he asked, “Is there a way for me to listen to the sound or at least detect vibrations?”
[Yes]
[You can get a hearing skill with skill points]
“Eh! But you said I could only buy the skills I already had when I was a star using skill points, and I remembered not being able to hear when I was a star.”
[Light does not need a medium to travel, but the sound does]
[You traveled in space where there was no medium for sound to travel through]
[Hence you could not listen]
“Oh, I see.”

Ph. D. In Sorcery
Follow Anastasia, the unlucky physicist turned wizard, as her reality gets turned upside down and she is plunged into a world of gods, magic, swords, and adventure. Short and sweet description, anything more would be a spoiler and I detest those. Now, what you can expect from reading: This is my first time writing, or better said allowing someone else to read that mess so don’t raise your expectations too much. Still, I will try to keep the story flowing, while also devoting as much time as I can to editing. In my opinion, the story is written at a faster pace than normal with time skips here and there. I will do my best to not allow the faster pace to ruin the story by using those time skips to raise the skill of the main character. I am mainly looking for feedback while I test myself in new and unexplored waters. I did put a lot of thought into worldbuilding and the magic system, it is something that has been mulling inside my head for years before I sat down to write anything down. First and foremost I am an engineer and not a writer. I will try to do my utmost to make the world logical and consistent, but sometimes I might not express that in a way that’s clearly understood. I have a rough outline with several possible endings, but the story will change and evolve as I do. But in case I have to stop for whatever reason, the story will get an ending. It will be done even if I have to send coded messages from a bunker. I am a big fan of the Dresden Files so you can be certain that everything mentioned will in most cases be used, with a few red herrings sprinkled in the mix. But that also means I will enjoy putting the main character through the meat grinder while I eat popcorn and laugh from my evil lair. Physics, and to be more precise electromagnetism, quantum field theory, general and special relativity are very interesting topics for me that I research in my spare time. That means that the premise of the story will be using that research to bring logic to magic. Stupid I know, magic is magic, but to me, there is no reason why there shouldn’t be a concrete set of rules there. But it is still magic and that allows me to play with some things that shouldn’t normally be possible. I will focus on evolving the main character and having her react as anyone normal would, from my perspective. There will be scenes of battle, gore, and sexy times, but I will not go into too many details, counting on your imagination to fill the gaps. There will be plenty of combat, even battles ranging from a few dozen, a hundred, and thousands of participants. I could go on but there isn’t much to say that would convince anyone to read, either you thought the title was cool or you liked the poster. Or not, but after several days in photoshop, that’s the best I could do. And the title was originally Sorceress with a Ph.D. The new one makes a little less sense but I like the ring of it more for some reason. I just hope someone enjoys what I write as much as I do. In the end that is the reason, I am doing this, because I enjoy putting my thoughts on paper and seeing the outcome. Credit for the art: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/e0o8nw

Fade
The story follows the life of John Grimshaw. From tragic beginnings to hopeful ends, John embarks on a quest for meaning. When visiting the cemetery he meets a girl named Jennifer Stone, a youthful teenager who quickly becomes a safety raft for John in turbulent times. But nothing could have prepared John for when he met the man in the pinstripe suit. The man with bright eyes, dark skin, and gleaming white teeth. The man claiming to the impossible and break the thin ice below John's feet entirely. (ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER) This story starts off relatively dark. Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.
