《Nirvana》A System inside a System
Advertisement
"How do people train in Nirvana?" Emile asked Lucifer about this.
"There is a system inside of the actual Nirvana gaming system, you have to activate it to start training," he said.
"So you're saying that there is a system inside of another system," Emile asked questioningly.
"How do you activate it," Emile said.
"Just yell out Nirvanic System activate," He continued.
"Nirvanic System Activate!" He quickly yelled out.
"In the game not in real-life," Lucifer said as he face-palmed himself.
"Oh, I got excited about it, sorry," Emile felt slightly embarrassed that he tried it out in real-life.
Emile never questioned why Lucifer knew this information. Emile was too busy thinking about gaining the ability that he forgot about asking.
Lucifer never explained why he knew this. Emile would ask about this later after he calmed down his emotions.
"Now shoo and leave my dojo, You already made me ruin my floor," Lucifer felt annoyed that Emile didn't trust his demonstration before testing out the effects of his flame.
Emile got kicked out. Emile scratched his head wondering why Lucifer was so annoyed.
"It was just some floor," He thought.
Lucifer would probably spurt out some blood if could read Emile's thoughts. (1)
Emile went back home to try this out. It was 3:00 PM. He logged back into the game.
[Welcome back Mystical Flame]
He was greeted by the system. He realized he was still in front of the Boar's cave since he logged out there. He glanced around making sure no one was near his location.
His senses were very useful in detecting people. He didn't sense anyone nearby.
"Nirvanic System Activate!" he yelled out.
Nothing happened. Emile thought he got pranked by his dad.
After waiting some time a system notification appeared.

[Would you like to activate the Nirvanic Training System]
Emiel felt excited since the training system existed.
"Yes," He said in a swiftly.
[Creating skill proficiencies for the user]
[Creating User data]
[Creating...]
Many system notifications popped out. Emile felt dizzy by the number of system notifications that appeared.
[The user has unique bloodline properties, would you like to activate the skill system]
Emile knew that he had a bloodline from his father so he chose to activate the skill system for it.
[You have activated the Skill System of Fire]
[You have activated the Skill System of Water]
Emile felt confused about these system notifications. He knew he had the power of fire in his body because of his dad.
He didn't know why he had bloodline qualities of water. He would have to ask his dad the next time they meet.
He opened the skill system of fire and noticed a giant skill tree. There were dozens of branches of ways he could go.
They all required fire skill points which he didn't have yet. He didn't know how to earn fire skill points.
The water system was the exact same thing except that it required water skill points instead.
Emile started to look through the system notification he received. He saw that there was a tutorial which the system gave out.
The tutorial was a manual on the basics of Nirvanic training. The skills in the skill tree could be utilized in real-life.
To gain skill points he needed to come in contact with objects that relate to his skill tree.
He needed to come in contact with fire, lava or water to gain skill points.
He hadn't seen anything fire-related yet. He had a book of fire which was the only thing he had come in contact with.
[Would you like to integrate the Book Of Fire Volume IV into the Skill System]

Emile didn't know if this was a good idea. But he wouldn't be able to use the book until he became level 50 which seemed miles away from him.
Emile chose to integrate the book into the system.
The book started to disappear from his hands. The residue of the book floated towards his body. His body absorbed the residue and he received a few system notifications.
[You have gained 100 fire skill points]
[Fire Storm cost decreased to 500 skill points]
He received skill points extremely quickly. Much faster than any average Nirvanic person after awakening the system.
With 100 skills points, he could upgrade his flame resistance to 20%. Or he could learn the fireball skill. He chose to learn the fireball skill with 100 skill points. He now had 0 skills points.
Information on how to cast it started to flow out. Emile quickly realized that he couldn't just yell out the name of the skill to activate it.
He needs to understand how the fireball is formed and how to control its path.
The information that he received was about how he should cast, environments that would boost the effect of the skill.
Emile went back into the Boar's cave to learn in secret. He started to follow the instructions on how to learn the skill.
Sometimes he would waste all his mana before he managed to finish the spell. Every time this occurred he had to wait for his mana to regen. He had to cast the spell faster.
But if he went faster he would lose control of the spell which did damage to his health. He needed to find a balance.
-15
He didn't lose a lot of health because his intelligence stat was low. Intelligence represented the amount of magic damage he could do.
As he was training his friends started to contact him. He told them he was busy doing something so he couldn't go cave diving.
Emile practiced for multiple hours. He gets very close to launching his spell but something kept blocking him.
Emile's bandage supply was running low since he had to keep using them. At around 8:10 PM he managed to launch his first fireball.
[Fireball proficiency rating 40%]
[You have used your first fire spell]
[You have gained 10 fire skill points]
[Your Spirit has increased by 3]
[Your Intelligence has increased by 5]
Any proficiency rating below 40% wouldn't create a spell. Emile barely succeeded in creating the spell. Creating the spell for the first time was the hardest part of learning the spell.
He managed to create another fireball after 3 more attempts.
[Fireball proficiency rating 48%]
He didn't gain any fire skill points this time. His proficiency increased from his first time.
He continues to launch fireballs at the walls. He improved his proficiency all the way to 59% by doing this.
The walls start to slowly crumble and being hit so many times by Emile. Emile felt the cave start to shake. He could feel that the cave was about to collapse.
He quickly ran and also used Void-Steps to increase his agility. The stalagmites started to fall down and the walls started to cave in. Emile barely escaped the cave and saw that the entrance got sealed off by the rocks.
A system notification occurred.
[You have destroyed the Boar's Cave]
[You gained the title Novice Destroyer]
Emile didn't want to destroy the cave.
"I didn't do it intentionally, I swear," he thought in his mind.
Emile examined the title to see what it did.

The Divine Gemstones
Vol.1It's currently the year 3318 in Greenterra. After the great mystical war, humans had an agreement to stop making harmful chemicals for the environment. Kings and queens limited the outcome of Chlorofluorocarbons. Winters were back at their best, and summers weren’t as burning-hot anymore. Plants and trees were growing once again all over the world; the making of downtown urban cities and cars was banned; therefore, all the human-made chemical ozone depletion stopped. Consequently, allowing the planet to produce more magic; giving people and animals more magic-flow that they could use and inherit. Unfortunately, this massive increase of magic produced by the planet also awakened a slumbered entity that was sealed off millions and millions of years ago by archangels. It made a group named, 'Black Tombstone' whose objective is to kidnap people and drain them of their magic to recover the entity's power back to its prime. Many humans and other mystical creatures have been suffering by the uprising of this terrorist group. A smart guy named, 'Rukito' is caught up in all of this; he gets targeted by one of the members to die, since his parents are one of the wealthiest people in Greenterra, and one of the few that know how to work and develop magic. While this is all happening, a new member is adopted into his family, a mysterious girl named 'Kasai' that is distant and reserved is now living with him in this colossal mansion, making matters even worse. Vol.2He starts uniting a group of people to start the search for the divine gemstones, each one of them having a tragic but hopeful past. Cover made by me, here's a link for the high-resolution picture, (Was a bit lazy to fully clean up the drawing lol) (And by the way, it might just spoil juuuuust a little lol)

Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
