Chapter 19
I put some coal inside the smelter, load up all my iron bits on my shovel, and light the coal with a torch. Once that's done, I dump the iron ore inside and get to work on the air-infusing mechanism. It takes a lot of work to put air inside the smelter, but I've got to get the temperature up really high. After a dozen or so minutes of pushing air inside, I pull the iron out with some prongs and place the lump on the anvil. With one hand holding the prongs and one hand holding the hammer, I smash the shit out of that lump. After a while, I've got some spongy mass, which is what I was aiming for, and I put the wrought iron to the side and work on the remaining iron inside the smelter.
Early morning on the 23rd day, I have about a pound of iron. I can't really do anything with it, and I wonder if I should just forget all about this mining thing. Instead of letting that get to me, I decide to spend all day mining. I try to use earth magic to keep the roof smooth, and I can feel my mana running out. As I mine for the whole day, I also feel me stamina running out. When it happens I take a break for a few minutes and then I'm all good. I can alternate between mining and using magic, but I have to take a break after using magic because it is not enough time for the mana to regenerate all the way. I would think of a way to increase the mana and stamina I have left, but that is probably the Vitality and Wisdom stats. I would rather use my stat points on increasing intelligence to make my magic more powerful.

I leave the mine and feel really sapped. Something about doing hard labor all day makes me want to hire people to do the work for me. I could get some miners to help, but then I would also need a place for them to stay, and need to make the mine bigger. With a bigger mine comes the need for more safety precautions, and I don't think I'm ready to do that quite yet. For now, I'll mine during the day and smelt at night, as long as I don't run out of coal.
Although, if I can get more powerful magic, I can forgo the use of coal all together and just use fire magic. That would probably take a while to get, and that still wouldn't solve my problem of having to push air into the smelter. Well, the air is only used to allow the fire to get hotter, so I won't need the air in that case. Even with that, I might not even need the smelter. If my fire magic gets hot enough, it might be able to straight up melt the iron by itself.
In the meantime, I use the night to smelt the iron ore I took up from the mine. Iron is supposed to stick together inside the smelter when it gets really hot and falls to the bottom, so I can take out all the left over gross stuff and throw that to the side. I plan on making a wall eventually, but not quite yet. In the night, I use a lot of coal and get through a LOT of iron ore. When I'm all done with everything and decide to use water magic to help wash myself off, I've got six pounds.
Morning of the 24th day, and it is as good of a time as any to check my inventory and stats. I'll also check all the skills I have while I'm at it.

Looking at everything I've got, I realize that I won't have any money in a few days when the shop opens again. I've got some iron, but I don't know much that will be worth. I should also be working on leveling up so I can increase the power of my magic.

Chronicles of Xod (returning from hiatus)
After a long recovery over a chronic motion sickness issue, I feel I'm ready to return to writing this book. It might be slow at first, but I'm hoping to pick up where I left off. I apologize again for the long hiatus. The pages following are a true account. An account of how I, Josh--a teenage nerd from modern suburbia--ended up in a strange world filled with fantastic magic, bizarre creatures, and terrifying dungeons. Despite the troped-up fantasy feel of the world, this is hardly an ordinary tale. For one, don’t expect a happy ending. With the trials I’ve been through, the horrors I’ve seen and the atrocities I’ve committed, believe me when I tell you, this is not a happy tale filled with friendly rainbow bears or teenage flying unicorns. It’s more likely you’ll finish this book mentally scarred as I will not spare the details of my unfortunate adventures. With the help of my trusted companion Gui, I gain an insight that no one else in the world has. This knowledge allows me to exploit and, for lack of a better term, metagame the system which gave me a clear advantage over its residents. “With great power...,” someone might begin to quote to me. In my defense, I think maybe even you, reader, might have acted similarly with how this reality changed my view of good and evil. This story will be updated regularly on Wednesdays around 6 PM. There will only be about 1000 words per update. The focus is to finish the story before doing any major changes or editing. Please read as if this is a work in progress, not a finished product. Feel free to let me know if you see any error, whether glaring or minor. If you help me out, I'll be sure to add you to a thank you list at the front of the book when it is published. Chronicles of Xod is a first-person fantasy novel that follows the adventures of a young man from Earth. Through unknown circumstances, he finds himself in a fantasy world where life is not all wonders and happy endings. The story takes common fantasy concepts from my favorite video games, books and movies and gives them an adult edge. It also introduces some taboo concepts often glossed over by stories written for broad audiences. The style is meant to be immersive and heavily detailed. The short novel will be written in a way that attempts to bring a sense of realism to an unrealistic genre. Where there are realistic consequences and dangers in a world populated with violent monsters, cruel demons, bloodthirsty undead, and immoral bandits. In this fantasy world, the inhabitants are essentially gender blind as far as sexuality is concerned. There is also more variation amongst male and female physiology. This isn't meant to be any kind of promotion or demotion of social behavior in reality. Just a concept I thought would be an interesting idea to have in a fantasy setting. I highly discourage anyone from reading this material if you are personally concerned with being offended or traumatized. Both violent and sexual content will be graphically detailed. All characters involved in sexual scenes are mature and of the age of consent(18+).

Children of The Sky: Heartcore
In the realm of Yggdrasil, there exist nine worlds. Each and every world has unique stories to tell, but there was one that stood out--The Floating World of Speir. In the land of Speir, the impossible does not exist; this world has given birth to thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of tales, fables, and legends. The fight for the fate of the world is a common occurrence and the neverending stories of the people which reside in it were all, by itself, always unique and interesting. Now, after many aeons have passed, the world has changed. Not only the power of magic could shape reality, technology also has the ability to change the world with just a thought. And from the world where futuristic technology meets magic, I have chosen to tell you a story, a story picked from countless others. This is the story of a boy who recently entered the prestigious, and the most powerful academy in all of the nine worlds--Yggdrasil Academy, to fufill his dream. What is his dream, you might ask. Well, allow me to show you the life of Reynard Foxtale, one of The Children of The Sky. *Warning. For those who don't like lengthy explanations or long talks, this might not suit your taste. However, the setting of my story does not adhere to most of the main stream fantasy/sci-fi settings. So, you might find my ideas unique or a little too weird and complicated or both. Whatever opinions you might have, I truly thank all of you who are willing to spend your time to read my story. *The cover (which is a picture I do not own) is not in any way an accurate depiction of the world in the story. P/S I will post this story on FictionPress as well. P/P/S I'm relatively new to this website, so if I made any obvious (to regulars) mistakes, please tell me. P/P/P/S Will update every two weeks. *Important: In Hiatus for now. **13/7/2017 Update. Check chapter nine (and maybe ten) post-chapter note.
