Huh so brain cells that are nurture are called Mana Vessel huh. Well I guess it makes sense. Explains everything about need to nurture and expand its capacity. Without big enough vessel you can’t store anything right.
Now that I managed to get myself a mana lets cast a spell. Since only Matrix I got is fireball, fireball it is.
So how do I connect to my second door to use the Spell Matrix that is in there. Oh, just willing it makes it appear in my head automatically. That’s convenient. Okay next is visualizing the fireball. Then infusing the Spell Matrix with mana. Ooh I can feel it mana goes into the Spell Matrix and gets converted to elemental mana first then Matrix directs the mana to heat itself to change its base form and manifest itself in the outside world.
Et viola. There it is my first fireball. Fist sized small orange colored ball made out of fire. Feels easy to sustain it since I don’t need to concentrate hard to keep the Matrix drawn in my head. But my brain feels empty now that I used every bit of mana in it to cast the spell. But I can feel it being filled back already. This cooling and refreshing feeling of my mana vessel getting full is something that I can get used to. I guess this is the perk of having high ranked Soul Root I suppose.
Since I got more mana before the first spell ran out of mana let’s try injecting more mana into the Spell Matrix. Injecting more mana makes almost no difference. Expect tiny bit of increase in temperature of the fireball. So that means if get more mana reservoir and inject enough mana into the Spell Matrix I can make this simple fireball spell into something devastatingly powerful right.

So, this is the advantage that my second door gives me. Since I don’t need to concentrate on both the visualization of the effect and Spell Matrix in my head that gives me more room to maneuver with my spells.
I so want to throw the fireball somewhere to see it explode. But that would be pretty stupid considering I’m in a forest.
So, all I can do is cast the spell to squeeze my mana vessel empty the convert more mana to nurture it again. Let’s hope nurturing my brain cells will give me useful trait sooner.
Still feels awesome to cast my first spell. It may be a simple and insignificant spell but this marks my start on the path to strength. Can’t figure out why but I have been having this feeling that if I want to survive in this forest I need power. Not just power to protect myself but power to stand on the very top.
The power to be the predator not the prey.
No matter what, power is all that matters. Doesn’t matter if you’re rich or poor, loved or hated, sick or healthy, evil or good everything eventually comes down to who is the strongest. Strongest gets to do whatever he wants.
So, no matter what, power to be the strongest not just ordinary person but someone who can do whatever he wants. Not to be preached by good and do something they want me to do for good of the world or bullshit like that or to be threatened by the evil to do things against my own will. I want to be the third party, neutral party that will do whatever the hell I want to do.
So, in order to do that I need to be stronger than both the evil and the good combined. Overwhelming power, that is the only way to be the neutral party. So, no matter the means I will achieve that power.

And this first fireball I casted is the beginning of my path to achieve that power.
And I can’t do that by being cooped down here doing nothing but cast fireball and hoping to gain useful trait that might not even show up. I need to go out see what this forest is made out of and then the world.

Axed. Moratulis: a vrmmo game that promised a life just like modern times but with the promise of fantasy adventures and magic. Except after getting into the game they found out what it actually is: a simulator of the future. The objective is simple: take out the demon king, logout, and do it again. Problem is that the game feels like it's on hardcore mode. But here's the thing: if you survive to the end, you can take to the real world all of your in-game possessions. This means your looks, money, power, and items. Keyword there: survive. And so the MC is a guy that made it to the final battle. He has seen so much shit and does not have the best view of humanity at this point. And then his teammates betray him. Cliche, right? At least he messed them up real good. But he came back a month before the game began. This is his tale. Sooo what is the point of this story? Well I kinda just wanted to write a story about scumbags and them dying in horrible ways because yes I have a twisted sense of humor like that.
8 133Virtual reality: Sorp
Sorp is something bordering on what it is to be human. Perhaps he is more human. He has lived in squalor, his only family are the friends he grew up with.

To be more than the bottom of the barrel. They do this in their own way. Unhindered by usual moral discrepancies. Ready to fight, kill and maim on a whim. Warning: This story does contain graphic descriptions of a sexual nature, violent fights, blood shed, gore and at times, crude language. There are also acts that are considered immoral or evil committed by main characters, so this story may not be for the faint of heart.

8 79The Awakened
Mark was a data analyst that had recently landed a job in a company and his life was pretty normal if not a bit boring through upon meeting a mugger in an alley his life had a drastic change not neccesarily for the better. He stopped being a sleeper and saw a glimpse of the true form of the world which opened his eyes to a new life altogether. ============================================================================================== This is my first fiction and i am loosely basing this on Mage:The Awakening rulebook. Naturally i am going to change things a bit but i don't intend to make this a novel where the main character goes around changing the whole world. It will be based on a normal guy discovering a new world while trying to find his place in it. Also please write comments warning me about things such as development speed or unrealistic relations.
