《Into Nothing》60 // Nothing Else For You To Do
Advertisement
"This is Lady Kyoko," Aleister said to introduce her.
"Thank you for coming to heal, my son," she said as she slightly hunched forward.
No need to thank me, madam. I'm just performing my duty as a priestess of Lillith."
With a smile she nodded, and lead them to Elemmir's bedroom.
Kyoko took one look at the boy and nodded her head.
"Do you need me to leave?" Phisvaelte asked.
"No, this will just take no longer than a few moments." She took a deep breath and pressed her hands together, keeping them a distance away from just above her chest and in front of her neck. The six-petaled lily pendant emanated a holy yellow light. Its presence dominated the surrounding space.
Kyoko chanted some words under her breath as she controlled the manifestation of light with her hands. As the light swirled around, she pointed and pressed the tip of her finger into his chest. The radiance churned Elemmir's stomach, causing him to throw up a black sludge.
She took a step back to avoid it. "Gross."
"Is that it?" Elemmir groaned. "I don't feel any better. If anything, I feel a bit worse than before."
"Of course you will, I just injected and purged your body with divine light," Kyoko said like it was common knowledge. "The gods did not create the average body to hold any amount of outside divine power at all. This means your entire being will be sore for a couple of days, but you will no longer die of sewer plague. Your bruised areas will still need the proper medicine and time to heal, as I only cast a simple first level spell for a common disease."
"Thank you," he said after understanding what happened.

"Don't mention it. This is just a part of my duty," Kyoko said. "And, I won't question it for now, but, you should stay out of the sewers because you obviously aren't equipped with the proper gear, definitely not a kobold, nor are you part of the plumber's guild."
"It won't happen again."
"Then, my work here is done," she said, dusting her hands off.
Aleister nodded and turned to Phisvaelte. "I'll see you in two weeks, then. That should be enough time for him to rest up and for you to sell a few of the potions."
They left her complex after she spent a lot of time thanking them.
"Are you sure you have nothing else for me to do?" Kyoko asked. "I don't want to go back to the temple just yet."
"Unfortunately, I don't know hundreds of people that have the sewer plague," Aleister said. "If you want some work, why don't you just go to the slums and cure people there."
"Osetia does not have any slums in the first place, thank you very much," she said haughtily. "Even if it did, I'm not made up of divine energy, you know. I only have so much I can use every day."
"Fine, just follow me then." Aleister thought about the words she said as he walked and actually just now realized that she was right. Osetia indeed didn't have any slums, which he wanted to know how was possible in the first place when so many people occupied the city. Of course, he still saw beggars wander the streets, but they were in the minority. The second point also made sense. The gods granted their worshippers divine energy, which cleansed and activated their souls through an alternative means.

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!

The word count ranges from ca. 1800 to 2800 words. The story collection is completed with a total of fifteen short stories and two extras.

I am using this short story collection as a way to test the waters before I seriously consider publishing a novel. As English isn't my mother tongue, I would appreciate it if native speakers, anglicists or any other proficient users of the English language could kindly inform me about any mistakes in grammar or word choice so that I may correct it. The same applies to any sentence or paragraph that may sound unnatural in English.
