《Magnum Opus》1.4

"I'm sure things seem confusing and hard to handle after all your life has been completely upended. But I'm sure everything will settle down, and it won't be so bad and if you need anything, pull one of the petals." Daphnia said as she swung her glowing hand. Towards the small desk in the corner, a little flower appeared.
I know she said I should become a Magus, and my past self stated I should go down that path too. But being a Witch sounded and looked like a good choice also. I mean being able to heal people is cool, and summoning plants is awesome. I wonder what other things witches can do.
Looking at Daphnia and Mancin getting a little emotional. I said, "I know we don't know each other very well, but I just wanted to say thank you. You guys took care of me while I was unconscious, and you've both made me feel welcome here."
Daphnia swooped down, giving me a motherly hug. She said, "Oh sweetling it's not a problem, your so young and to be going through all of this by yourself, it hurts my heart. I know I don't know the details of your life before you came here, or what accident you were in that caused your o.m.s. But what kind of guardian sends their wounded charge, through a teleportation array, alone to a foreign place."
"Daphnia, my dearest, you can't judge a person based on unfounded speculation, and you said you don't know what happened. I think it's wise not to make assumptions, don't you? That being said, Kyle, I've been Merchant even longer than I've been a Magus. I'm great at reading people, and I can tell, you lad have a good heart." Mancin said he gave me a warm smile as he gently placed his hand on Daphnia's shoulder.

Letting out a sigh Daphnia stood, fixing her ruffled robes. She said, "Your right, I don't know the details, but I still don't agree with it. But that's neither here nor there, Kyle I want you to know as long as you're here in Free city, you can count on us for aid.
Smiling at her. I said, "Thanks, Daphnia, I do have a question. I'm sure I haven't seen all the magical things you're capable of. But seeing as you can heal people and summon plants which I find amazing. I was wondering if I could become a Witch too?"
Seeing the expressions on their faces, I had a horrible feeling. That my dreams of being a walking forest, are about to be crushed. It's okay though, and it's not like I don't have other options.
Taking a quick look at Mancin, as a slight frown appeared on her face. Daphnia said, "I'm flattered that you were, inspired by me. but.. well... I'm just going to say it; I don't think you should go down the path of a Witch. First and foremost, Witches don't store mana internally; they use their familiars to hold it for them. So becoming a Witch wouldn't help with your, heightened mana sensitivity. Secondly, the path of the Witch is usually started at birth. You would be put at a great disadvantage."
Looking down, trying my best to smile. I said, "It's okay, I guess, it's just my luck. I wouldn't be able to become a Witch, but I still become a Magus."
Letting out a sigh, Mancin said, "With my beautiful and talented wife as a role model. I can understand why you would want to become a Witch and not an old boring Magus like me."
Shooting her husband a look Daphnia said, "Don't listen to that blockhead, he might not seem very interesting, but I promise you he is definitely a talented Magus. Honestly speaking going down the Magus path, is really your only option to lead a successful life with anything to do with mana. Not that success is what's important, but I figured you should know the truth now rather than get your hopes up later."

Lifting my head, I said, "Your right, Daphnia, I want to be able to do magic, and if I'm going to do anything. I mise well be good at it, if that means being a Magus it's not the end of the world.
Looking at me with smiles on their face almost in unison, they said, "That's the spirit."
I feel like my past self somehow planned this, I mean what are the chances that the only way I can overcome his level is by being a Magus. But I'm not going to mope around feeling sorry for myself, that's for sure.

Sylver Seeker
After fulfilling the duty all arch necromancers are tasked with, Sylver Sezari was not expecting to ever wake up again. But he did. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he’s alive once again. In a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content. -The story isn’t grimdark, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either. There will be lighthearted and positive moments, as well as some sad ones. That being said, it’s a whole lot more light than dark. -This is a LITRPG story. Chapters are published every 2 days at 21:00 GMT. Author’s note:-It can get very GORY. I’m somewhat desensitized to gore and violence. So while the story isn’t full of gore for the sake of gore, it can get a little too descriptive.-The MC is a necromancer, so corpses and decay, and all the things that come with it, will be mentioned from time to time.-I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Slavic, and Greek mythology, so expect quite a bit of that. That said, so much is altered, you’ll be hard-pressed to guess how exactly it is being used.-Despite being ‘immortal’ the MC can die. In the event he does, the story doesn’t end, simply time skips forward. Which in some cases is going to be worse than just dying.-I love plot twists, as much as I love red herrings and Chekhov guns. Deus Ex Machina’s not so much. Cover: https://angshumandhar.artstation.com/projects

A Wish Beyond Chaos
Knights cultivate Laws to transcend mortality. They live for centuries, leading all of humanity while ceaselessly searching for the ultimate path. Mages study Runes to control creation itself. Their lives are short, but burn with unmatched radiance, leaving marks that may never fade. Roland Crescent consumes food to continue existing. He has lived for almost fifteen years without accidentally choking to death, a feat not yet committed to chronicles and song. Five years ago, at the tender age of nine, Roland suddenly stopped dreaming and instead started seeing the imminent deaths of those around him in nightly visions. Believing himself destined for greatness, he set out to become a righteous hero of justice. But as the years passed this young wannabe savior found that his duties brought him almost no discernible benefits, whereas new burdens kept piling onto his small shoulders without end. When a longtime plan’s failure ends up opening the path to several twisted opportunities, Roland might have to finally admit to himself that nobody of importance, much less fate itself, had any regards for his heroic inclinations. Slow paced, character focused story. Gets very dark at times. Basically like Lord of the Mysteries with more comedic aspects at the start. Chapters are released Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. Average chapter length is about 4000 words, with only the first vision being noticeably shorter. Have fun reading.
