《the eternal seeker》The creation (05)

Icaro , wearing a white coat, looks forward to the species growing in the tank, humanoid with about three meters with four arms with two legs with three claws on them, with a human-like head only with two mini antennae protruding from the forehead the skin with shades bluish, it was a masterpiece thinks Ícaro, remembering the place he found this species, it was the one with the greatest potential that I found in this primitive forest, Icaro found these guys hunting, they moved like a quadruped animal but with the two hands that were left they used them to hold wood or stones as tools, when I found them it was a pleasant surprise, because all the species I tested so far I couldn’t create an intelligent one just a few isolated individuals but never the entire species, but now after hundreds of years of research finally I managed to create a race for my purposes. Opening my eyes I come across a blue being in front of me, I I fall into nostalgia and remember it like it was yesterday, we lived in a isolated valley near a forest we were hunting a Solon, is a big animal easy to hunt without too much risk for the tribe, looking through the bushes I look back and I signal for them to surround the animal, the moment comes I get tense, even being the big animal, easier to hunt, there are always casualties, his weight It's is several times bigger and heavier than us, we only win by piercing his eyes, but when was about to jump, the sound of the forest the sun disappears, Solon as if he was feeling the danger starts to get restless and look to the sides, when he looks in our direction he is paralyzed we follow his vision and there was a being flying like birds standing there looking at me as if he could understand me " hello " dare a voice in my head and I panic the next thing I remember is already being in the tribe with the carcass of the solon, and the blue man surrounded by my relatives, I would never have imagined that this was going to be the moment that he would change the destiny of my life icaro looked at this breed that was coming together around him, sincewhen I arrived here with the others and carrying the dead animal, and I was surprised one and more times they are much more intelligent than I thought, they already use simple tools for their uses tand already know how to organize into tribes, together they even have a primitive language, but I think I left one very scared, who even passed out very quickly, hopefully he won't be traumatized, I decided to stay with them for a while to gain confidence, earn their respect, I already have a rough idea in the next few weeks whenever it was time for hunting I would come and help them get food, after a while they started to accept me and adore me and I even learned their language but there are very few words, and with that with the passing of time, one day after the hunt I called them all for a meeting, when they all got together after a meal, I appear in front of them Eating another piece of roasted meat, and looking at my relatives all full, I am happy after that time this blue being always helps us to hunt, we never died while hunting, those who became sick he saved, now we are no longer afraid of hunger and plague, I started to think more about life and I feel happy, while looking at the blue fire he brought us to prepare food I hear a mess, I look at the center of the valley and he was there "Listen soon I will go out" when I heard I panicked just thinking about the time he wasn’t here I’m sad, there was too much death, we never had enough food, Icaro feeling their mood can’t help shaking their, head they were very attached, continuing the speech "calm down I will not leave forever yet I will help you, but I want to choose 10 of you to take to a magical place I promise that since you come with me you will no longer have to worry about hunger, cold and plagues" finishing talking I wait for their answer, I see that everyone started looking at the elders and the hunter that I spoke to that day, it turns out that that little boy was the chief hunter and has great prestige in this tribe and as they have a human intelligence they know how to organize themselves and they leave it to the elders, living for a few weeks here I realized the dynamics of the group always two groups in charge the hunter and the elders, during this time I think it seems that they have already made the decision, they approach and the chief hunter moves forward bow and speak "We have decided oh this great being that my tribe will not starve I will go with you" some more males and females bow and promise looking at them like that Icarus says "of course I promise from now on your future will be completely different" I speak in everyone's mind from time to time they have become accustomed to this method'' and finally we arrived at what it is today, after hundreds of years improving their race little by little I arrived in perfect shape finishing things here I produce a force field and take them to my base, at the beginning I had an idea when I brought them with me I decided to grant them a long life so that I would not need to form the bond to each generation with their species, for centuries to come every improvement I brought them back to the tribe and modified the rest and passed some knowledge through genetics and teaching them, because of this are doing much better out there but one thing I didn't pay attention to is that out of the place they are hidden the world was filled with the speciesthat I had modified and those that had mutated, this brought a little difficulty in their expansion, but they are doing well, looking at the Clark in the tank transmitted to him '' so how did the antennas work? " to try to create a species without conflicts and dramas I imprinted on their genetic knowledge loyalty to race and without selfishness but I know that there will still be a day when a rotten apple will appear, with that in mind I tried for years to create a system that works like my force fields so they can communicate like that and feel each other's emotions, and in the meantime I gave a name to those who came with me starting with chief hunter Clark, Tom and Red and several others. while distracting myself in the memories I dare a voice trying to communicate mentally, giving permission to listen "It worked, sir, thanks to you. Now we can evolve into a society without intrigue. We will not fall into a civilization of corruption like you showed us, I appreciate everything you did for the Darkus'' Clark is excited that followed you a long time ago saw how his species evolved with each step now we can walk equal to lord. can i kill a solon with my own hands and fight equally with the terrible monsters who live outside, thanks to the knowledge you transmitted to us, we no longer live in ignorance, we have already started to fuse iron, and with the improved brain and senses we are advancing rapidly. and starting today will be a new milestone, thanks to the force field that sir implanted in us called internet we can communicate with anyone on the planet and feel each other's emotions, but it will take a few generations for each one to be born with this, because of the new bodies we are expanding the population a lot we already have more than 30 thousand Dakru still has improvements and past corrections that not everyone has yet, just like you said, we still have a lot of work ahead of us, but I don't have to worry about that. now each population can live 300 years, and thewho follow it have an even longer life so i am not worried while we live we will take the species to its peak.

My second life in a fantasy world
Important Announcement: English is not my first language, sorry for the mistakes After living a long life on earth, it was finally time to leave, bedridden in a hospital, surrounded by a large family, between sobs and sad goodbye glances, bearing many memories, some good, some bad, funny moments, sad moments, happy moments, tragic moments, I finally closed my eyes and plunged into the abyss of darkness and what awaited me on the other side was ... An old ex-mercenary hungry for adventure is reincarnated in a world of swords and magic, with no trap powers, just his own strength, wits, and outlandish friends. P.S. I am a totally amateur writer, I write just for fun, I am working on illustrations with another person, I plan to put one on the cover of each chapter reflecting its content. At the moment I already have partially assembled the story, I just need to polish a little, the rhythm in which the chapters appear may vary. The original version in Spanish can be found here for the curious https://www.wattpad.com/myworks/250682744-mi-segunda-vida-en-un-mundo-de-fantas%C3%ADa

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
