《(OLD) Progenitor of Mana (OLD)》Chapter 4 - Status Screen
Advertisement
After Leo said his farewells to Kylyhagaard he found himself falling through darkness and before he knew it he was standing in a field of what appeared to be crops. Each sapling placed neatly in evenly spaced rows.
This puzzled him as he was told that he should be arriving in a newly created world where the rest of the humans and other races should have gone after the Tutorial. Before he could stress himself anymore he heard the voice, ‘Just get situated and prepared before panicking. Wait until you know what your situation is, then you can panic.’
“You know what voice in my head, you’re right. There’s no reason to panic, especially when I’m standing in this beautiful field of alien crops.”
As he was admiring the beauty of nature the motion sickness finally caught up with him and he found himself bent over releasing what little food he had left all over the nearest plant.
“At least it has food now.” he joked to himself, feeling a bit better now that the sickness had faded.
He checked his weapons but froze when he found nothing but the scraps of his clothes. Not even his backpack was with him. Panic began to settle in until he remembered that maybe there was an inventory system.
“Inventory” he spoke aloud and a grid-like screen appeared in his vision, but to his dismay it was empty.
“I guess I lost my gear. Do I still have my magic?” he thought out loud. When he searched for his mana it was there in his body, but now it was so much more. He summoned a blue fireball and shot it into the air to confirm it still felt the same. ‘It is a bit easier than I remember.’
Looking up at the sky he saw that it was mid day before he noticed a blue box in the corner of his vision blinking. Commanding it to open he found numerous blue screens waiting for him.

“I finally get to see my status screen huh. It actually looks quite pathetic compared to what I went through.” he finished with a sigh. “Now let’s see what everything does.” as he read through the help screens for each stat.

‘Only my mana changed visibly. Since the cost of stats grows quite rapidly I want to get as many free stat points as possible. I also want to decide what path I will be taking for my main fighting style.’
To confirm that the two Traits he picked up in the System Shop transferred properly he opened up their screens.
Soul Split:
Grants the ability to sacrifice (500 * number of extra souls) base mana and 50% of your current stats to split your soul in two. All experience, skills, titles, Lines, and quests gained will be shared equally across all souls. Health and Mana will be separate to each soul. When one soul dies stats across all souls will be reduced by 20% and a 1 year cooldown will be placed on Soul Split.

Current souls active: 1
Grants 5 + (.5 * skill level) maximum mana multiplier applied after all other mana buffs.
Since all his weapons were gone his only option was magic. Leo started to think about what he would need and how he should go about fighting if he was to only use his current magical loadout.
He came to the conclusion that he should go mostly magical stats along with some Agility and Endurance because he was going to be running a lot to keep his distance from his enemies as he did not have a spell for it yet.
As he was looking over his Status Screen again he noticed that the Lines category now contained items. He selected the Starter option but nothing happened. Puzzled he called out “Lines help” and a help screen appeared.
Lines are special branches of power that offer potentially greater rewards than stats and classes or they could be less. Lines are offered based on someone’s actions and achievements and usually the greater the achievement the greater the power boost. Line points can be acquired through System Quests, and achievements towards the end of a specific Line. Experience points can be used at a 10:1 ratio to complete a Line. Typical Line rewards are stats and skills.
Wanting to test the rewards from completing a Line Leo placed 1000 experience points into Starter and he was greeted with surprising returns.
Starter Line completed.
As you start your path through the System a small boon is given to help you through your struggles.
Plus 3 free stat points.
The reward brought a smile to Leo’s face and a fist pump to the air.
He wanted to immediately finish the other Lines, but paused because he didn’t want to gain automatically assigned stat points for free at such low levels.
First he spent 100xp to level up and he gained 2 stat points.
This confirmed that it didn’t matter when you leveled up as long as you didn’t spend the stats meaninglessly. He finished leveling himself to 9 before stopping.
‘I need to gather more information about classes before I level to 10 to make sure I do the most to ensure I have the best chances of getting a good class.’
Next on Leo’s list was getting his stats to the point where he could cast Soul Split once and if everything checked out, twice.
It cost him 5431 xp to get his Soul to 25 and base mana to 510. After a few breaths he activated Soul Split and waited. He was half expecting his vision to be split between two sets of eyes, but when he opened them he just saw a naked reflection of himself staring back at him.
1.”Hello me?”
2.”Hello, other me.”
Both of them jumped before the first Leo continued his inspection into his other soul.
1.“So can you hear what I’m thinking?”
2.”Nope. Can you feel this?” the second one said before punching himself.
Soon after first Leo saw a blinking red outline of a body. When he clicked on it he got a notification.
Warning: Soul #2 has taken -1 damage.
1.”I just got a notification saying you took one damage.”
2.”That’s helpful. What should we be calling each other and our future selves?”
1.”I was thinking Leo then just which number soul you are. So I’d be Leo-1 and you’d be Leo-2.”
2.”That makes sense. What do you say we level those stats so we aren’t sitting at 70 hp.” he said grinning at himself.
1.”Should we just get the minimum required and then split again?”
2.”I don’t see why not although let’s try and get to 4 souls and see how many points we have left. We don’t know where we are and the extra manpower may be needed.”

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
