《Life of the dark god》Chapter 4 Magic studies (2)
Advertisement
Before mother gave me the book she told me that she couldn’t write everything in one book and will give me other bands of magic later.
I opened the book and started reading its content. I really love mother for writing more complicated things in an easy-to-understand way. When I finished skimming through it, I knew what she wanted to tell me.
To sum everything up.
“The human race was physically the weakest and the least intelligent race out of all 5. But humans had a hidden card. They adapted the fastest to their surroundings. So eventually some of them invented magic. It can be used for daily necessaries, experimenting or for fighting against stronger races.”
Till there I understood everything. It was simple history and described how magic got created. Now came the tricky part and how to use it.
“In order to use basic magic you have to feel mana. Feeling mana is like feeling Energy in your surroundings and controlling it is something like telling it to do what you want. For starters try to feel mana in your surroundings and try to gather it in one point.”
That was actually easy, at least for me. I could feel this so called mana since birth. I quickly got the hang out of it how to focus mana in one point so I started experimenting with it. I created a line of mana, a ball of mana. After some time I started forming the silhouettes of a demon but I was sad when I noticed that it dispersed after I stopped filling it with mana.
What wondered me was that mother also wrote something about so called elements.
“Magic can be categorized in basic, advanced and unique magic. Basic magic can be activated, if you try to fuse your mana with one of the elements. There are 6 basic Elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light and Darkness.”

That was all this book for beginner was about but it was quite helpful to understand the basic principle of magic. I didn’t know what advanced or unique magic was but I would come to know it if my mother writes the rest or I will come across it through experimenting. I was eager to try to use those 6 elements and to see how far I could come when trying to control them. Would I be able to form a ball with fire magic for example?
As I hoped that my mother will finish the rest of the books for magic I succeeded with fusing mana, like mentioned in the book, with the basic element, which sounded to me like the most interesting one, Darkness.
I was quite happy to succeed after only 3 tries and experimented with the rest of the elements through the whole night. I failed a lot of times with the other elements but in the end I was able to at least form a ball of magic of every element. I was bad when it came to light magic but I even succeeded with that. I finished my magic experiments with every element and as I did I ended it when I formed a figure with the element of Darkness. I was able to control that element like I could control normal mana.
I exhausted myself too much and fell asleep on the spot after dispersing the Darkness Magic. I fell asleep and nothing could wake me up for quite some time.

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

Leave Bad Enough Alone
Something has been amiss in the city’s theaters as of late. The local bards have long done a respectable job of keeping the audiences entertained, weaving high concepts with skillful performances. But lately, a new set of bards, and their illusionist cohorts, have captured the crowd’s attention. Compared to the theater’s usual fare, their work is hackneyed and poorly plotted, with unskilled acting, bad special effects, and unsatisfying resolutions. Worst of all, the audiences like their work more, and these upstarts are far more profitable than the city’s decent bards! Clearly, there must be some dark secret behind the success of these newcomers, and it’s up to the city’s true artists to find out what it is and expose the conspiracy! Or maybe the city’s bards have just become too hopelessly pretentious and derivative. It’s hard to tell. But investigate it they must! Failure is not an option! Victory, or...well, they’ll have to get day jobs or something. Original cover image generated by NightCafé.Master story list here.

An Average American in A High-school Academy Anime
An American versed in narrative tropes and more than mildly acquainted with anime wakes up in a completely different bed than the one he went to bed in. Now he has to scramble to understand where he is, what's going on, and hope to God he isn't in a relationship drama. I don't expect this to be good or well-received, but I have plenty of time this quarantine, so I'll try to get a chapter of 4000-10000 words out every one or two weeks. (haha) Please let me know how it can be improved. I'm an avid reader of fiction, but I've never really fallen down a rabbit hole so hard that I can name all tropes and settings and such by heart. I'm not sure if this will be effective satire, so I preemptively apologize. Inspired by: "My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe..." by EO Tenkey and "The Simulacrum" by Eganthale. Check them out if you want probably better stories than this one.
