《Try Me!》Chapter 5: The Interface 2

Pure energy
Energy in the atmosphere without form. Creature’s body absorbs the energy and their Soul Root converts the energy into mana to use as a fuel for Spell Matrices to cast a spell. Or creature’s body itself converts the energy into Qi to nurture and temper the cells in the body to strengthen and improve the body.
Soul Root
Essence of the being’s soul. Soul Root converts the pure energy into mana to be used by spell matrices to cast a spell. Soul Root’s rank determines the speed of conversion and purity of the converted mana. And that determines whether the creature can become a Wizard or not. Only creature with C+ or higher Soul Root Rank can become a Wizard because lower ranked Soul Root can’t convert the pure energy into a mana pure enough to nurture the brain cells durability to endure storing a mana.
Soul Root’s rank highest rank is S and lowest is H.
Mana
Force that is converted from the pure energy by being’s Soul Root. Mana is stored in the brain cells. And creature uses the mana to nurture and expand the brain cells capacity to store more mana. Purity of the mana can determine the speed of nurturing and ease of use by Spell Matrices. If you try to absorb and convert more mana than your brain cells can handle your head will simply explode. So, in order to store more mana in your brain cells you need to increase the durability of the cells by nurturing them with mana over time. Mana exists in a form similar to steam and more you store in your brain cells more compact it becomes. Thus, the reason for need to increase the cells durability. So that it can endure the pressure from more mana in it. At some point mana will start taking form of liquid after your cells can endure enough pressure to compress the mana to the point of becoming liquid.

Spell Matrix
Matrix that is used by creatures to use convert mana into specialized form of mana and cast relevant spells. You first draw the Matrix in your head and visualize the effect then infuse the matrix with your mana from your brain cells then the matrix converts the mana into specialized form, directs the mana and unleash the spell. Every spell has a necessary specialized form of mana. For example, if you want to cast a fireball you need to convert your mana into an elemental mana.
Spell Matrix is determined by the rank from H to S and that determines the Wizard’s rank. Higher the rank, stronger the spell casted will be.
Spell Matrices are categorized natural and custom ones. Natural Matrices are ones that creatures are born with something like racial matrix, like dragon’s breath or vampire’s vampirism that converts life force in others’ bodies to mana or qi. Custom Matrices are ones that are created by intelligent beings to suit their needs. Those ones anyone can use as long as they have the Matrix and sufficient mana.
But as long as you know the Matrix for natural ones and high enough Soul Root rank you can actually use it but problem with that is difficulty to use that. Lowest required rank is at least B+ because to use natural Matrix of another race requires high mana purity and quantity.
So those are what is most needed by the those who are determined to become a Wizard. But it says here that highest Soul Root rank is S but Interface says mine is SSS. That’s kind of weird.
Now for the body tempering.
Body Potential
Indicates being’s body’s potential to be nurtured and tempered by qi converted from pure energy by being’s body itself. Creatures that uses Qi to nurture and temper their bodies are usually called warriors for they use their tempered bodies to fight. And Body Potential rank determines speed that the body can convert the pure energy into Qi, purity of the Qi, body’s speed to be nurtured and capacity to endure tempering. Higher purity means higher efficiency and quality of nurturing and tempering.

For being to become a warrior lowest their body potential rank can be is C. Because Qi is a very aggressive life force different from vitality so body must be strong enough to endure the initial tempering, if not every cell in being’s body will simply burst into flames.
Qi
Life force that is different from vitality that is more aggressive that is converted from pure energy. Creatures use Qi converted from pure energy to nurture every cell in their body except brain cells to increase the cells capacity to be tempered. Then they use the same Qi to temper their cells to increase their body’s strength, flexibility, speed, reaction speed, durability and endurance.
Martial Arts
Martial Arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices. Beings who use Martial Arts are called warriors. After training the combat practices warriors can use Qi to perform techniques relate to practices to fight. And techniques like spells ranked H to S and that determines the Warrior’s rank.
So according to this my body is what is called simply trash, lowest of the low huh. So, I guess there isn’t much hope in physical department huh. Well consolation is I got a brighter future in the spiritual department so that’s a plus. But problem is I don’t really know any kind of useful Spell Matrix. I seems I only know matrix for fireball.
And it seems humans really doesn’t possess any kind of natural Matrix.
But traits seem interesting.
Traits are your natural abilities. They are a part of who you are, what you do and why you do it. It is possible to attain new traits as you nurture and temper your body and brain cells. High enough tempering can give you unique abilities depending on your personality, quirks and knowledge. Well pretty much anything unique about you can give you new special abilities if you temper your body to high enough rank.
Hmm those are really interesting. According to this I can gain new abilities just depending on tempering without Spell Matrix. That will be helpful. Specially, considering my body’s atrocious state.

Beyond Floating
Muse thought her life had ended twenty years ago because, well, it had. Existing aimlessly for two decades as a ghost, she finds herself yanked along in a rip-tide of strange events. Thrust unwittingly into the midst of a group of paranormal hitmen-for-hire led by a man named Isaac. Michael, a normally rational and righteous holy soldier of God, succumbs to revenge and hatred, sacrificing everything in the fight to destroy Isaac and everyone who associates with him. Muse, by virtue of her inadvertent association with Isaac, is on that list. This is actually my first 'finished' fiction that I've ever written, which I completed about 8 years ago. I dug it up recently and I'm posting it as I thought people here might get a kick out of it. So, take that for what you will. Chapters will be released daily at 6:00pm EST.

Daily life of a cultivation judge
Tired of those cultivators who think it is righteous to eliminate a sect or clan root and stem all in the name of revenge and avoiding future troubles, fights over treasures that end up destroying cities with no consequence whatsoever to the culprit, these psychos whose aim for the peak always involves a trail of carnage and bloodshed in its wake for some reason. Then look no further than the daily life of a cultivation judge. Yang Qing, is a young genius cultivator from a low-tier family whose only safe choice to get resources and hopefully lead an easy life led him to the courts of the Cultivation Order Society. Author’s disclaimer: Hey there this is my first novel so any criticism will be well taken though beware I’m a million-year-old monster who has cultivated the way of the sword to the peak. The daily life of a cultivation judge will be true to its name so it will be heavily on the slice of life lane with a bit of action here and there.Meaning we will see the life of Yang Qing when he clocks in and out. Hopefully, it will be one of those novels you read if you need to relax or are in a slacker mood like one of those otakus who listen to the noises of cicadas in the summer famously used in most animes. And it is in the slacker spirit that chapter release will be on Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Sank yuuu Cover art by Conny Schneider on Unsplash
