《Ancient Adventurer Return》God of Greed in Japan
Advertisement
« Never again.....I'm never travelling in this thing ! » Yelled Bora as Katarea sighed. Given that Bora wasn't really a patient man they had boarded the first fly to Kyoto. However it seemed that Bora wasn't really made for planes.
He had been sick during the whole trip and constantly telling Katarea that he hated it. Unfortunately, they were both supposed to be normal people, and normal people used normal means of travelling. If they had been magicians they could've used portals, but it wasn't an option for now.
Now that they were in Kyoto they had to get some money and then find a place to live.
´ Master, tell Katarea to go to a bank and exchange the Won you have into Yen. You should have enough to book a hotel room for atleast two weeks, if you book a cheap one that is.' Said Aria, seemingly amused with Bora's current condition though he held back his laugh.
« Katarea. Find a bank and exchange the Won you got for Yen. We won't be able to buy anything in Japan with Won. » Said Bora, sitting on a bench as Katarea nodded and walked away.
' Now that I am alone, there is one thing I want to ask you Aria. As the new God of Greed is there anything I can actually do ?´ Asked Bora.
' Well of course Master. By transferring the divine energy to you and then to something or someone, I can multiply, steal and copy a lot of things. If you were to find a rare weapon than I could multiply it so that you can keep one for yourself and sell the other...You could become rich by selling multiple rare equipments. Afterall if they are rare then it's most unlikely that there are other same equipments. Also I can copy or steal things. Per example I could copy a seal to reapply it on anything you want or steal a skill to give it to you. As the God of Greed you can appease your greed with the help of your powers, that's how it works. I could multiply the necklace you got from the Boss so you can sell the other versions. Or I could steal one of Katarea's skills or talents for you.'Explained Aria.

' Hoho~I feel like we're gonna become best friends Aria if you continue to tell me things like that. Anyway can you tell me more about those skills and talents ? I barely remember anything about it, except the fact that they are ranked with tiers too.' Thought Bora, unaware that his little conversation with his Aria didn't go unnoticed. While he was happily conversing with Aria in his head, someone was watching him.
A few meters away from him, leaning on a bus shelter while smoking a cigarette, was a woman in her twenties. She was the very definition of a cold beauty. A pretty face, soft white skin, pouty red lips and heterocromia eyes, one black and the other white. She was wearing a white smoking suit that fit insanely well. Though one thing about her made her stand out even more. It was a little emblem that was on the collar of her smoking, a black rose surrounded by thorn branches. Every person that looked at her would lower their heads as soon as they saw this emblem.
The woman finished her cigarette and threw it on the ground before walking away, a big smile on her face.
' Okay so Skills are the same as techniques or spells but they are uniques. A technique can be pretty much anything like a punch, while a spell would require mana and an incantation, a seal, a scroll or a mental command to your aria. Like you would do to use a spell, you need to say the name of your skill to use it, or you can use an incantation....Or if you are good enough, you can literally just tell your Aria to use the skill. The Aria would use the spell for you which would be like you used it yourself, but it will be faster. A skill, as I said is unique, but unique just means that you can't teach it to anyone, though many people can have the same skill. Like the Berserker skill per example, a very common skill that can boost the user's offensive power but leave them defenseless and pretty much mindless. Now for the Talents. They are like passive spells, techniques or skills. However like skills they are unique, they cannot be canceled and unlike spells, techniques and skills, they can grow. Just think of them as ultimate passive skills.´ Said Aria, who unlike Bora was aware of the woman's presence but didn't say anything.

' *Sigh* You know what ? I don't think I'll ever remember what you just said. I think I'm just gonna wait until I got one of them and see.' Thought Bora.
´ Well when you get a Divine Bracelet, you'll be able to see your stats. Which means you'll see if you have any skill or talents. Talents can unawakened, so don't be surprised if you see that you have talents even though they don't have any effect. Skills are a bit trickier. I personally can only use the God of Greed's skills because I have his energy. I'll only be able to help you use your skills after you try them yourself. I'm not even sure you have any. By the way don't forget that people who can completely communicate with their Aria are rare, like extremely rare. So you'll have to use your skills, spells and techniques on your own sometimes. Sorry, but you'll have to shout the name of your attacks like a dumbass.' Said Aria, clearly mocking Bora who just ignored him.
Bora sighed and got up. Stretching he looked around and saw a cigarette still burning on the ground.
« Huh ? Was there anyone standing there just now ? » Asked Bora.
´ Not that I'm aware of Master~'

The Draw Of The Unknown
Mia Campbell is your average introverted loner. Not exactly satisfied with her life doing pretty much nothing of import, she's also not that willing to break out and make a change. Until, without any preamble or warning, she is bestowed with a cryptic system that both grants her magical powers, and also operates on the logic of a card game. Things begin to escalate from there. **This project is a bit of an experiment! For any given chapter, Mia's 'decklist' will be built by the community, over on our Discord server. If you find this amusing, and want to participate in the discussion, as well as find the complete list of cards, you will be able to find the link to the Discord server at the end of each chapter. Discussion in the comments is also encouraged and included as well. Each chapter and/or scenario will be intentional, but the cards used will be chosen by you guys. And the draws made will be done via actual drawing of cards during the writing process, for bonus author street cred.**

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
