《Aries》vol.1 chapter 4. Animal protector

‘AHHRGGHH!!’
I finally woke up in the morning, but didn’t expect to wake up by the pain that will bring me some of my memories back.
‘AHRGHH!!AHHHH!!’
I was constantly trying to subside the pain by again, using both my hands and adding pressure to my head, I think this lasted in about eight minutes, after I didn’t felt the pain anymore I think I remember now some of my past life,
‘ugh still though why can’t I remember how I got killed, the only thing I remember is I have two older sisters and that we loved everything about roman mythology, a mom who is a widow, I can’t really remember my dad though, and that I was really, really anti social to people, even to my other relatives, probably because they blamed my mom for what happened to my dad, AHHRGHH!!’
Ugh the pain came back, I should not try to remember anymore then what’s given to me, anyways I woke up inside a hollow tree, looking at the ceiling of the tree because it finally got brighter, I can see markings on the ceilings, like some kind of scratches and also something that’s hanging down, like an upside down hollow stalagmites,
‘reminds me of a bee hive’
*splash* *zap* *swosh* *zap* *splash*
While looking at the weird beehive like stone. I heard something like movement, and a combination of water and lightning being used, knowing that it might be my pets I quickly looked at the entrance and saw that both of them were fighting, fighting some kind of creature and there was a lot of them flying above my two pets,
the creature was an eyeball of some sort that had a translucent layer to itself, about the size of a volleyball, and that the translucent layer was branching out to look like wings,
‘no wonder, so that’s how they fly’
I quickly looked at the name of the creature that was messing with my pets,
[lacrimalis lv.10] [lacrimalis lv.16] [lacrimalis lv.11]
‘What the heck, they are stronger then my pets, and it seems that the highest level is the lv.16 one, looks different to me, the cornea is more maroon-ish’
while taking my time I also notice that there were multiple small boxes and it was flashing, I looked at it and they maximized,
‘oh its notifications,.. huh?’ I was truly shocked to see that what leveled up was my pets but not only that I leveled up and also gained a skill!!,

AQUA leveled up to Lv.12
ARGUS leveled up to Lv.14
ARIES leveled up to Lv.6
For leveling up to five without doing anything you gained a title and skill
‘Huh.. I didn’t notice that I gained a title’ I quickly opened my stats to see what title and skill I got,
‘STATUS!’

SKILLS:
Blessing from [email protected]#$%^
INFO: info is a skill that helps the user with basic info to help them with their daily ugh lives also helps to see more accurate names and levels, sometimes if the one being identified has more stats then the user, then the user might have a 0.01% chance to gain that stat. depends on luck.
Blessing from %$#@!&
BEFRIEND Lv. 2: befriend is similar to summon and tamer skills but combined, the downside is that to tame the creature it takes time and patience because to tame it you have to befriend it so there’s no hostility, once successfully tamed, the creature can turn to an item that you desire to not take up much space, can only turn into small items, the creature will go into a space specifically made for them, because of the huge space the time difference is huge.
Tamed: [2/4]
TRUST: by trusting your pets that they will protect you, you have gained this skill to protect them, this skill allows you to use your pets power but only half of its power, the more you level up this skill the more you can unlock their power to use and make it become stronger,
Current skills you can use: Dash, Heal
‘wow this skill is amazing, basically I can use my pets skills for myself, but the downside is that I need to level up this skill so I can use all of my pets skill, and that its only half my pets power, meh.. At least I have something, hmm.. I wonder what this title means,
OPEN TITLE ANIMAL PROTECTOR!’
Animal protector: for trusting your pets and your pets trusting you, you have gained this title, +10 to all stats
‘cool I have a plus 10 to all stats, this will help me, hmm maybe I should get more titles, hehe’
*boom!*
I heard a huge explosion and I quickly looked at my pets, only to find them lying on the floor unconscious, and not moving, still alive but not moving,

‘Shit!, I was so mesmerized by the notifications I didn’t even notice that, that Lv.16 eyeball is still stronger then Argus, I should quickly help them. ’
The only one left was the level sixteen eyeball,
‘seems like they killed the rest’
the eyeball was quickly moving towards my pet making sure to finally kill them,
‘Oh no you don’t!’ I quickly looked around the floor to see if there is something I can use to throw,
‘Aha... Yes!’ I quickly saw a stone and took it using my right arm,
‘I know I’m just a Lv.6 but I know the weakness of that eyeball and that is the iris which is a sensitive part of every humans eyes, more like the eye itself is a sensitive part, if I throw it right I might just have a critical hit’
doing a throwing stance I quickly threw the stone in to which my surprise went really fast and made a huge hole in the eyeball,
The eyeball quickly fell with a thud and evaporated in to dust,
‘I knew I got plus stats, but I know it can’t be that.. Huh? I can’t move my right arm.. Why?’
For using [Dash] your right arm has felt numbness, 2:30 more minutes before the numbness disappears
Aries leveled up to Lv.9
‘Holy crap I used the skill Argus have unconsciously, and WTF!! I gained three levels, awesome!!’
I quickly looked at my pets to see that they are still breathing, well aqua is okay because it’s just a slime, but Argus is in serious condition, he had cuts and the blood is still flowing,
‘I wonder if I can use heal, duh!. Of course I can, I have it has a usable skill, okay let’s do it’
I quickly hovered my hand on Argus and thought about what the freaking hell a healing spell look liked, usually healing spell used the affinity with light and are mostly seen has an either glowing green or white light, there are also other people who used healing spells using water, people who used water uses it has a catalyst so that they can speed up the regeneration on cuts and bruises but can’t fix broken bones,
My hand started glowing a faint black and white glow that was swirling on top of Argus,
‘what the heck why is it black, did I do something wrong in the process,’ slowly the cuts had vanished and Argus started breathing normally,
For using [Heal] you have used up all your mana and cant regenerate mana for five hours
‘What!!.. is there always a downside for using my pets abilities, ugh I have to get stronger, and when I mean stronger I mean gain skill only I can use and level up stat wise, okay before I train I should look at the help menu, I mean IT did say that there is a help menu…. Right?! ’
‘HELP!’ nothing came out, I felt like I said that desperately, ‘okay, then how about, HELP MENU!!’ ugh nothing appeared, what the heck!
“argh!! HELP!! Dammit!!.. WHOA!!”
I was shocked that a window appeared and it seems to look like one of those normal blue boxes, okay so I looked the list and saw that there was a lot of things listed on the box, ugh there’s to much info,
‘I’m only going to look for how to gain skills,’
With the thought only three was left out of all that,
[How to gain skills, how to train skills, how to steal skills]
‘Whoa that’s so cool I can steal skills, hehe.. I have to gain skills so I have to do anything it takes, before I read all of these I have to turn aqua and Argus back to keys so they can rest’
“Aqua, Argus keys!”
‘ I honestly don’t know what to say so ill just say that for now,’ they both turned to keys and went to my hand.
‘Okay, since its morning I highly doubt that any creatures will come in here’ I quietly sat down in the farthest back of the hollow tree,
“Show all, related to skills” I said has I started reading
[AN]
Seems like our MC can use his pets abilities, OP much,
haha I actually was thinking that he should have gotten that eyeball has a pet, but I was like meh.. To many keys, he might not be able to hold all of them,
oh by the way I’m not used to naming creatures so I just used the Latin name for eyeball which was lacrimalis, I guess im gonna do that for the rest of the chapters?? What do you guys think?
Anyways, rate, follow, favorite, etc. to show support. Thank you so much guys,

Tethered Souls
All humans are connected to the ether, the realm of magic, by invisible, intangible tethers. Tethers are a reflection of humanity, and etheral magic resists what it is to be human. The more 'human' you are and display, the more your tether constricts, restricting the flow of ether. Utilizing ether draws out the human psych, making it extremely difficult to use ether dynamically and for long periods of time. Burning ether allows a person strength unlike any other, sharpens the mind more than any enhancement drug, and allows the person to directly influence the physical world around them.Hugh Perigrine is unique. Orphaned at the age of 1, Hugh is a ward of the Imperial Empire and an acolyte to the Imperial Library. For reasons unbeknownst to him, he does not experience the world in the same way as his peers. He doesn't care for the war with the rebel armies. He doesn't feel the need to vocalize complaints. He doesn't hunt for gossip and there is no object that he cares enough about to desire. He does not fantasize. He is simply unlike everyone else. But Hugh can see things that others cannot, and he understands impossible forces at work around him. Hugh's entire being is latent with etheral power, and he is at the forefront of what is thought of to be possible and impossible.There is however, something that Hugh covets - the meaning behind who he is, why he exists, and where he comes from.

Conquest Of Mortem
*NOTE* This novel is a war of attrition. To say anything less is a disservice to its demand. While comparable to other such works as Ulysses or Moby Dick, each sentence in Conquest is an enemy to be tackled. Not in the ways of difficulty but in absurd density that wishes nothing more than to destroy what patience you may have. Do not tackle chapters as you would ordinary chapters in an ordinary book. Tackle each chapter as a book unto itself. A foe to be vanquished, a period of life to leave behind. Seek to be master of this work. Seek to overcome. For in its design is the willpower, and the perseverance, and the strength of someone who sought meaning in struggle. As I discovered these in times of ultimate desperation, so I hope for you to discover these things. This novel is a love letter to your trials. May you overcome them. May you master them. May you become conquerer.- SeedSagaA literary epic for logophiles, philosophers, and poets alike. A journey into zeitgeist, the impact of media on culture, and the endurance of morality against an onslaught of hatred. These vague descriptions do little to compact Conquest's density into a bite-size summary. They do however relate the basest themes found within. A plot, if such can be surmised, is strung thinly across multiple perspectives, weaving together these concepts into a seemingly distorted tapestry of indecipherable events. Inspired by early 20th century modernism, Conquest will challenge the reader, and provide critique on the medium upon which all great stories are derived. Further interpretation is up to you now; an explorer among a sea of words. Venture on and discover what lies ahead, in...CONQUEST OF MORTEM
