WHAAT?!
WHHHHAAAAAAT?!!
what in the world is happening? What is this blue thingy?
" Host I am not a thing , I am a product of Madam M a guide that would help you survive". It said
"How can you help me survive when you didn't even help me". I said
" Host I'm leaving the technique that madam M made for you , good luck!". It said
" After finishing the task the host will be able to unlock functions of the guide". It said
After sending that message a portal appeared and a gift box was left behind.
I quickly went to the box and immediately opened it. What was inside was a jade slip and a note .
" This technique was passed down to us by our ancestors. We the legendary void spiders have reigned over this universe for more than 3 billion years. You as the next successor is required to master this technique. Good luck honey. - M "
What's a void spider? But first things first I must be able to survive and get this task over with.
I reached for the jade and a white line went straight to my forehead. After the light passed through I suddenly had many memories of things i don't even know so this technique is called Void Thread.
Void Thread is simply a thread made from your bloodline's power that would be able to pass through space and time when practiced to it's peak. Seems overpowered hmmm..
I should just think of that later I should first follow the procedures and give it a try.
Ting!
" Congratulations host you have learned Void thread" it said.
Woah! is this like a game? I shouldn't be distracted and just practice this.
1 hour later ~~~
I'm now able to summon a thread but only a thin line. Now time for practice!

I was walking around the desert when I suddenly encountered a small scorpion.
As I was going closer a sound rang in my head.
Ting!
"Host is adviced to purchase an animal , and spirit beast encyclopedia jade to be your guide to identify different creatures on this planet. If host wants to purchase for the whole universe the host is required to pay a lot more astral points". It said
" System how do I gain astral points? And what is an astral point?" I said.
" Host astral points are currencies used to use the functions provided by the system. While an astral point are energies you gain from killing creatures of this universe." It said
I used my void thread to sneak attack the scorpion without it noticing. As the void thread connected with it's body sparks suddenly flew out my attacks only cause a scratch on it's back. After the attack the scorpion suddenly noticed my presence and ran quickly to me. I ran back and i tried to summon my thread again.
While I was running an idea formed on my mind.
After running for a while the scorpion looked pissed and radiated so much killing intent and went back. As it was returning a thread suddenly pops out of nowhere and pierces it's eyes and went out of its body.
Ting!
" Congratulations host on your first kill! Since it was your first time killing a spirit beast a universal box was dropped." It said
100 exp was acquired
1st layer beast core acquired.
1 universal box acquired.
A small smile suddenly formed on my face.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
