《Decoder;Deconstructor》Chapter 9: How to Make something.
Advertisement
The night sky was dark, without the moon's light, I would have never seen the demons that had appeared before Laj.
Laj was prepared as he saw them coming, I could see that he held a sword in his right hand and a small dagger in his left. I had also seen the leather armour that he worn had small parts of metal that held the edges together.
With this look, I was sure he wasn't a farmer for his whole life.
As the demons from ahead were coming quite quickly, Laj held the dagger in his left hand behind his back, and his sword facing the front. On the opposing side of the field, demons were flooding the area, there were many different types of demons, even some that appeared almost human like.
Demons that were big and muscular were slow to approach, while others that were small or short were quick to move. These demons all had horns, there were some that had wings, and some that had either a gray skin colour or a red skin colour, exept for those that appeared human though.
The only thing that was common in all these demons, were their eyes. Their eyes in the night shined a deep orange like that of a firey red, some had darker colour, but thats just about it. Their eyes was probably what attracted most attention.
After noting the differences between the demons, they all stopped as soon as they had seen the prepared Laj. With both sides silent, the only sound one could hear was the wind.
Each and everyone of the demons had seemed to stop because of Laj, I was confused, wouldn't they have attacked already.
In the next few moments, Laj started to slowly walk towards them, and from behind the whole crowd of demons, a giant one had emerged from the demon-flooded area.
This giant demon had mucsles bulging from his whole body, and apart from the others that looked slightly similar, he had an axe, which gave me the thought of heirachy between the demons. They probably have it the same fucking was as we humans do.
Every other demon behind the giant one, stood and didn't move an inch, but as every other demon watched, The giant one had then stepped up until he and Laj were facing each other with at least 4 meters between eachother.
For a moment they stared at eachother.. and in the next a battle to the death had started.
Laj had swung his sword horizontally with a speed that I couldn't even see, He had closed the distance between the two in mere seconds, and the slash from the sword that he had swung him left a long line in the lower abdominal area, but the demon didn't fall down.
The giant demon turned quick to look at Laj again, but somehow Laj had dissapeared and reappeared near the right leg of the demon. With ease, he sliced through the bone and flesh of the giant demon's leg forcing it to fall forward.
The demon had swung the axe with one hand as he fell onto the other stopping himself from completely falling forward, Laj was cut on the top of his hand by the unexpected swing
Yet still focusing on the foe before him, Laj moved carefully as he swung his sword and dagger multiple times at the giant demon.
Soon after the many cuts, the demon fell forward shook the ground as he did. I was expecting Laj to die because I had thought that the durability of this demon was quite strong, or maybe he won because his sword and dagger had a sharper edge then the skin of the demon could handle?

But what happened after he killed the giant demon, the rest of the demons just started attacking him out of anger for killing their.. Leader? I think? Whatever.
As all the shrieking screams from the different demons went on, I could hear that they were definitely pissed off. Yet I could see Laj, even with his bleeding hand, he gripped the sword hard, and started off by running.
I wanted to stay and watched the battle, but as Laj instucted me that when he gave me that look, it was his signal to tell me to leave, I honestly was alright with it but I started to feel down about the fact that the first person I had met in this world was about to be killed. I sighed and started to get moving.
As I could hear the sounds of the sword being clanged with other swords, I also noticed that he stood before them before I left to attract their attention.
And now that I am on my way, I he was sure that I wouldn't attract any attention.
. . . .
I had left the farmhouse by the back, where the barn would be located. Behind the barn was a small path that would take me to another town that was a bit further away from Vasor, which is the one I was working at.
I moved quickly, because the town was far, and who knows if Laj would still be fighting.
I know that death is something that I should be afraid of, but having been to another world just puts me in a different feeling against it, like I don't know how I should feel, it kinda makes me feel indifferent.
As Laj had explained to me about there being a path here, I had found my way through it and stumbled on it, the path lead into the deeper ends of this thick tree-filled forest. Plants and nature everywhere.
In that aspect I was fine, but since I was jogging, and my physical capabilities are crap, I was getting tired quite quickly. I should really exercise more.
I had traversed through logs that had fallen over on the path, Bushes, and mud, yet I still kept going, my heart had started pulsing hard, and my limbs were beginning to feel really hot as the cool breeze flowed in the forest.
After a few minutes of non-stop jogging I was breathing heavily and decided to walk instead. Walking helped me keep my body warm while I naturally gained back the energy to jog again.
While walking though I was slowly able to see lights in the distance between the trees, this was probably the place I would get to.
I took a few seconds to breath in air and started to jog heading to the light.
. . . . . . . .
As soon as I got close enough, I was able to clearly see guards that were looking around, and each had a post.
I was able to move forward enough with the little energy I had as I was again exhausted by jogging through all the bushes and mud in the forest.
"Hey you!" I didn't notice that I came into a guards view, I stopped and took a bit of a break falling on the grass.
I couldn't respond because of how exhausted I felt, my heavy breathing would get in the way of talking.
The guard approached me as he kept his solid composure.
"Hello, you seem to have run, then I guess you could have seen demons?" His voice was rough, and he looked experience from what I can tell, I ain't that good at observing but it looked very fucking obvious.

I nodded simultaneously.
"I see, have you lost them or are they coming here"
I had regained a bit of my energy to speak.
"No, I was able to run far off from them, their attention seemed to be somewhere else"
I got up from the ground, my limbs felt like jelly, but I was able to ignore the pain for a bit.
"Good, my name is Corvan Fargis by the way, I am in charge of the commissioned guards stationed here, may I ask of your name young man?"
"I am Arvis, Arvis Yorvell"
"Very well Arvis, are you a fighter or a farmer?"
"I am a farmer, but my dad used to be an adventurer, so I used one of his well kept swords, and he told me to run, so here I am..." I didn't talk so much as not give many details about my situation, if they find out that I am lying then I won't leave a good impression on them.
I gave him a solemn expression just to give an effect to what I said.
"I see, I'm sorry.."
The guard gave a small moment of silence with his head down, and lifted it after.
"Anyways, so my father had told me that the safest place would be in faustor, would there be anyway that I can reach it?"
"Ah, yes, there is only the last one heading there since all the other ones left a while ago.
We have guards that will be escorting the carriage to the city, along with some others just like you, though your a strong kid being able to run through this whole forest without batting an eye"He smiled, I guess this forest would happen to have some sort of story or something?
"well, I just don't think much about it is all.." I gave him a slight smile.
As I followed him, he explained a bit of what happened to me although I already knew most of it, yet as he explained it, I could see guards running and moving towards a specific part of the town, as he saw me noticing it, Corvan explained that they were currently holding the line since Vasor has already been inveded inspite that they have evacuated the town just moments before they would finally get there.
Soon enough though I had seen not just a carriage but a convoy, and there were many of the last people that were in this town. I guessed that this would put a lot of people in the city homeless.
Corvan was a nice kind of guy, he lended me some gold to look for an inn and gave me some advice since he said that the same thing had happened to himself when he was just a kid.
I never really expected that from a guard, maybe its just him sympathising with me.
Anyways, I got on the wooden cart in the middle, in that cart there were a few other people with long torn capes to keep them warm from the wind, I noticed that I was starting to get cold too, but I didn't mind it.
We stood waiting for the carts to start leaving for a few minutes until the guards had checked something in the first, and after that we had started to move on.
I wasn't as much of a deal as I expected, if it were another person that had seen me, I wonder what would've happened, but why would the one in charge meet me close to the forest? did he expect me, or did he know I was going?
'Ding'
Since you have ran over passing your limit, your stamina bar has increased! +15 Stamina
Stamina? I did jog a lot trying to get here, and now that I've gained back my strength I recieved extra stats? What a suprise.
I wondered how much stamina I have wasted trying to get here, and It made me wonder how far I have gone past my limit, I guess I have to study that part of me since I feel it would be crutial to understand how much I expend in accordance to how much I take up.
I decided to look at my status since I didn't have much to do on this carriage.
'Status'
Status Name: Arvis Yorvell Level: 1 Title None - Health: 100 / 100 Health Regen 0.005/sec Magic: 100 / 100 Magic Regen: 0.05/sec Stamina: 115 /115 Stamina Regen: 0.5/sec Strength: 15 Agility 7 Vitality: 11 Intelligence: 16 Wisdom 6 Leadership: 0 Luck 0 - Attack: 8(+13) Defense: 5(+15) Skills: Code Control: Program(Active) Class:
Code Implementer (Unique Class)
I looked at my status without others noticing, or rather I don't think they can see what I can see, hell I'm not even sure if anyone else has something like this. After looking at it for a few seconds, I noticed the skill I had, was activated this whole time.
This might be a blessing if I am right about this shit.
I thought that I would have to activate the skill every single time that I used it once, but since it is a skill having to do with my talent of programming, it would obviously take time, so then all I need to know is the limit of how long the skill can be active for, other then that why would I ever disactivate it?
I thought of looking into the skill in further detail, I wanted to know all about this skill, since it is my only capability, and it being the only one, what could I do with this?
I opened the skill, and just like before a bunch of boxes came up, all of them are different in terms of the common coding. That would mean I would have to use a compliler, but where would I find a compiler in this world? The answer to that question is simple, I will make it, but the problem, how do I type?
With all these boxes on me, they all had differences-
Personal system Program Executor Status File ??? ?? ??? ??? ??? ???¨ Code Creator Program Manager Un-named Un-named Un-named Un-named Un-named Un-named Un-named Un-named System Layout *A system needs to be made and controlled by the user. Currently. there are (0) systems*
If I was sure about what this meant, it would mean lots and lots of compiled pieces of information to create an organized schematic of the programmed system that I should make, but since there isn't and I only have a personal system, that doesn't seem to count.
I guess this means that I can't use the personal system to look into the databases of the different parts of "Personal system", and that would also mean that the program executor is there for me to start building something.
I looked and shifted my eyes through many blue boxes trying to figure out how this all functions. Yet it seems that I need to create somthing in order to see it work, but what do I do?
I started to think...
I honestly had nothing in mind, for quite a while. It was starting to get annoying since I didn't know what I should do.
After a short while, I had thought of giving up, but then a rock hit the carriage, and then it sparked to me.
We people see, but not only do we see, we scan the area as well.
'How about I try making a scanner? Or somthing similar?' I thought about it for a few seconds, and just stared into the blue 'Code Creator' box. Thats probably what I thought.
Experimentation.
. . . . . . . . (
I had already started on doing the code from a while ago, it took me a few minutes to figure out how to make codes, but I recalled that the skill I had, said that I was able to "manipulate code", so with a bit of time, I eventually found out that I can do it just by thinking.
Although it was tough, and it still is, mainly because I have to be carefull when manipulating code. Between my head and this unknown ability, the only thing that separates the ability to manipulate code and think aside by it, is the power of the Code Control.
With the function of being able to manipulate code, I can grab any source of information stored in my head, and since I used to be a programmer, it just sums it up, but what sickens me is how terrible I am at trying to think straight and creating values within the Code creator box.
Still, I know that eventually I will be able to control it soon... Hopefully.
It took me about 2 hours or so to finish it, and about now it should be around 2am in the morning I think jugding by how close the moon is to the horizon.
Durring the while I was making it, I had come across errors I have not ever seen with coding, I guess it was different in this world, but as I soon came to discover that my whole area was my source of values, I had come to understand that this whole fucking world was able to be modified by my coding! The only thing in my way was how this system implemented the code.
I could barely understand it, yet I was able to create what I wanted, and after I finished it off, I recieved a warm greeting from another box.
Creation Successful! Due to your hard work, you have created a new subskill!
*Eye Scanner*
As you have encountered many errors and tried with what you had, your Wisdom rose!
+4 Wisdom
I was happy to see that it paid off, but now I had to check the subskill that I had made, I guess I am not to bad, but its not good either since it turned out to be a subskill, and not a skill.
Eye Scanner A subskill that was created poorly by the user: Arvis Yorvell
- - -
Anything within 10 meters by the execution of this Programmed Subskill will be analyzed.
*Skill ability can be further improved with Coding of said Subskill*
*Further improving Skill/Subskill will may or may not result in definite change of ability and/or effects*
Effects:
- Ability to identify items within range
This was poorly made... I have no fucking thing to say about that, at least I can be happy that I learned something incredible within my own capabilities.
I need to improve.

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.
