《Priestess Of The Land》Disturbance
Advertisement
Tria's curiosity towards the priestesses' book have been spiking up, and so after she took a bath and got ready for bed. Settled, she did not delay entering her consciousness.
Submerged into her consciousness, Tria was standing in front of the altar, scanning the book cover. Plastered all over it, was an image of a rune portraying a line of women with their hands raised towards the sky. Their hands were projecting lights that converged into one big light radiating over what seems to be many people. That light even reflected over the cover of the book, although though dim, it was rather majestic.
Keeping in mind the warning from the previous letter, she decided to go through the book, page per page; and the first few pages detailed the basics of cultivation. Before she could start cultivating, she had to first understand what spiritual energy was.
Spiritual Energy was simply energy particles that can be absorbed and stored into your spirit. You can make breakthroughs and advance to greater heights by storing a lot of energy into your spirit, until you undergo a spiritual change and upgrade your spirit capacity. The greater the capacity of your spirit, the greater the power contained in your body.
Power Levels were categorized in this order Master, Grandmaster, Saint, Sovereign, and the legendary Celestial. These were each sub-level into lower, middle, and upper class. At a Master level, one's spirit size is about the size of an apple and improving into greater sub-levels do not make it grow bigger. Instead it refines and strengthens itself, and the color changes from clear to muddy, and lastly to a solid hue.
Tria was nicely surprised to know she had already leveled up to a Grandmaster level comparing the capacity of her spirit to an apple, hers was at least the size of a cantaloupe. The quality and strength she felt, also had placed her in the middle class.

Absorbing energy requires the person to meditate and sense the energy particles given off by their lands' attribute, as the land Tria was currently on, it would be the Sun's energy. The Land's people could only cultivate their own land's attribute. Upon birth, the local energy gets accepted into their spirit and imprinted onto their souls; limiting them from absorbing foreign energies.
Tria's case was special, from the knowledge that was passed down to her, she learned that all the previous priestesses were able to absorb energy from the different lands. That is why it was possible for them to connect with all kinds of people, even they contained different energies within their spirits. Therefore, she also had that ability, but then it required her to travel there to get her spirit acquainted with the different energies.
Next, Tria learned how use her powers as a Priestess. She was looking forward to this part, because one her goals of learning how to use her powers is so she could repay Crei's kindness by healing him. She thought it would have been extremely hard. Yet, the most holy act that priestesses do is purifying souls, and that only required her connecting her spirit onto theirs, and basically cleanse them. Other acts were a bit more complicated, however they were rarely done, since the most common illness was inability to cultivate.
Now that she had learn these points, she was ready to call it a night and get some rest. Crei would come in tomorrow expecting her decision.
'I wonder how he will react when I tell him I'll stay,' is what she last thought about before falling into a deep sleep.
Not far from her room, down the hall was another large and well decorated room. Inside is a certain someone who was unable to sleep due to anxiousness. Since talking to her that morning, he has not been able to get her off his mind. She did not have any ties to him, so he was certain that she would decide to leave his side. Crei thought of getting one his subordinate to think of a way to make her stay, but he knows how it went last time, even though it did work; that was not how he wanted her to portray him.

Though the world viewed him as weak, his character was not. The commoners were not privy to such information and so they did not know, but the people in the palace, how else would they stop bullying and talk bad about him, to even be mindful of him. The servants knew him as a ruthless master who had no hesitation in killing and getting rid of those who disrespected him. His closest subordinates knew him as their Lord, while his royal siblings feared him. They feared him for reasons that was not known to the public but shocked them to illness when they learned of his background.
While Tria was in deep slumber and Crei was diving into insomnia, the world outside was currently going through changes that will greatly disturb the lands.

Dear Spellbook (Link to rewrite in blurb)
A rewrite of this story has been posted here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/49881/dear-spellbook-a-fantasy-time-loop-rewrite Live. Study. Repeat. Tal is a sorcerer in a world where they are killed on sight, traveling with a man charged with carrying out the task. Every night Tal must pretend to study his spellbook to maintain his disguise as a Wizard’s Apprentice. If his disguise slips and his charade is uncovered, it will be his death. Seeking answers to mysteries that arose after his parent’s murder, Tal must accept any allies, no matter the risks, to uncover his family’s secret. But when he wakes up one morning to find himself trapped repeating the same day, he has to overcome his challenges all on his own. This story is an adaptation of a D&D campaign I ran but never was able to complete. I tried to capture the feel of a table-top RPG session —tropes and humor— without relying on the mechanics. This is not a litRPG or gamelit story and no D&D mechanics or system appear in the game. It follows one member of an adventuring party as he deals with the problems with that arise from being an adventurer. Namely, getting roped into adventures. The story has a time loop element, but will eventually move past that. This story explores the magic systems, the history, and the lore of the world through the lens of Tal's entries in his Spellbook and interludes from other written works in the world. New entries on Mondays Credit to JackOfHearts for the cover.

A lonely fortress, a (slightly) deranged assassin, secrets, intrigue, magic and war. What could possible go wrong? If you've ever wondered what would happen if somebody attempted to blend a realistic medieval world with fantasy, then this is for you. If you've ever wondered what happens when you stick some (extremely) flawed humans into positions of power and try making them save the world, then this story is for you. Or if you're simply bored and can't seem to decide on a new story to read, then this story is for you!This is my first ever attempt at writing a story after years and years of reading, so any and all constrictive criticism is appreciated!

After dying on his hospital bed, Jack is surprised to once again regain consciousness. Turns out he’s in purgatory where he learns that God has been pretty into gaming lately… you already know where this is going, don’t you? Yeah, yeah, I know, another LitRPG story like many others. SO original… But why then do we keep reading them and looking for more? The answer, for me at least, is because they’re usually just plain fun. That’s all I hope my story can be: fun. No fixed releases for now, nor any future plans. I’m just trying to enjoy my time writing it. Btw, the cover is something random I did and has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Don’t ask me why.
8 118Core Microsystem
Amara has spent most of her life with her parents, either switching the time they spent with her or leaving her alone most of the time. On her sixteenth birthday, her parents were a no-show. But to make up for their no-show, they did give her a gift. A gift that was going to be coveted by a lot of people who played virtual reality games. This gift would allow her to become something, to be someone in the world. To not be the kid whose parents have left her to fend for herself since she was ten. When the new game, Core Microsystem, came out, there was a twist. A twist that changed a lot of people’s lives. When a player went to create their character sheet, a random generator would offer them the chance to become a dungeon core in this new world. Watch as Amara creates her dungeon and how that affects her life in the real world.
8 172Life is Feudal
No OP stuff, status bars, levels or skills. This story is in favour of more realistic setting in a world of humans and various monsters. "Behind the mask of the assertive, resolute facade that employs ruthless routes at any given moment, lies the frail, anxious heart that were once but a puny human. Reviled and revered by many, none would ever know my true allegiance lies within myself, merely trying to survive this mess." Just the life of a grumpy man child living in a terrible piece of shit or a desolate state in which I call an alternate historical take on medieval Europe. Living as a peasant who is forced to take up arms to defend his own kin. This story grants an insightful take on the life of people living under constant danger, from vying nobles who commit atrocities in the name of justice, eager nations and barbarians aiming to take a piece of the bountiful land and mythical divine monsters who resembles a walking catastrophe in any possible way. [If you're easily offended by alternate-history religion and cultural practices, then you shouldn't read this.]
