《Im Just a Normal Character》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Before Alvis was kidnapped, both him and Charlotte were hit with the sleep powder. Alvis had a thought.
(Since my ability says “The ability to create an object of what the user has seen”)
(Would the powder I saw before I fell asleep count as one?)
These thoughts flash through Alvis' head because he believes that the sleep powder is possibly made from plants. And would that count as an object or living being?
(Screw it, like I know what that sleep powder is made from.)
Alvis first created a cup that he had seen during the dinner table in the Isbert house. He wanted to test how much amount of sleep powder is needed to make one fall asleep. So he started with a cup.
After that Alvis started creating the sleep powder hoping that it would work.
Alvis started manifesting his ability, as he was creating.
One by one small powder began to fall from his hand. His hand is very close to the cup because of that the sleep powder won’t fly away.
While Alvis is creating the powder one by one
Charlotte and the guard were staring at him.
Yes, he is being very obvious.
***
Alvis continued creating the sleep powder for the next 2 hours. Alvis was able to fill out half of the cup with sleep powder. And also counting the fact that the sleep powder is much more complex than a simple sword making the process longer.
And now it is currently 7:00 PM.
The cracks from the wall are beginning to shine in orange light. Showing that the sun has begun to set.
The guards and Charlotte who were staring at Alvis, already lost interest. Now minding their own business.
***
In the Isbert House.
Isaac picked up the stone tablet, “Chief Commander Austin, status report.”

What came out of the stone tablet was the same middle aged man who spoke to Alvis.
“Nothing major my lord, except butler Alvis is displaying odd action.”
Austin Constant a Chief Commander, the second highest rank given in the military of Magenology.
At the very bottom there is a soldier, and as it rises in ranks the soldier becomes Captain. After Captain is General, after General is Commander. The Commander then becomes Chief Commander. And at the highest is the Head of Military.
Those who became Head of Military are usually one rank below the First Class and higher than the Second Class.
While Mason who was standing behind Isaac showed no trace of any emotion. It was as if he knew everything.
Isaac looked at him and turned back to the stone tablet, “Good, continue what you were doing.”
“Yes, my lord.”
After that the communication was shut off.
After a good few minutes, Isaac looked at Mason and smiled, “Is everything going according to your plan?”
“Yes.” Mason looked back and with a slight pause, “thanks to you.”
“Ho ho ho, whatever do you mean.” Isaac lightly laughed
***
The time is 9:00 PM and the sky is now dark. And the room Alvis and Charlotte stayed in is becoming dark.
Alvis finished filling the cup with sleep powder.
(Finally!)
Alvis was tired from the constant mana consumption. There was a slight increase in his mana storage. But the status didn’t show any rank up in mana.
To be absolutely honest Alvis wasn’t really sure if this cup of sleep powder would work on the guard. Because when they were attacked the opponent had a basket to disguise those of the people living there.
So Alvis wasn’t sure of the amount to work. And also the fact that his ability model is the weaker version, which made him less confident in getting the right amount.

Alvis suddenly had a thought, and looked at Charlotte who was just staring at empty space.
(I'm sorry Charlotte, but this is the benefit of both of us.)
Alvis quickly splash the sleep powder in the air toward Charlotte
After a few seconds Charlotte fell asleep.
(Oh boy, just hope lord Isaac doesn’t know about this…)
On the outside the guard was silently looking, and started to sweat a tiny bit from his forehead.
***
Isaac who was informed about this were speechless.
“....”
Mason who also knew were also speechless.
“....”
***
While on the other side Alvis was happy that it worked.
(Tomorrow is the beginning of the plan, now I know that it worked but would one cup be enough)
The body of a child and adult is very different which made Alvis worry that he might need more.
(Maybe I should create another two to three cups just in case one cup doesn’t work.)
Alvis agreed with himself.
And just like that Alvis decided to stay up before going to sleep to finish creating it.
After another six to seven hours, finish creating it. Because Alvis gained experience more creating and his mana capacity increased the process became faster.
Now it 3:45 AM
Alvis decided to go to sleep and began the operation tomorrow at 7:00 AM. He lay around in the corner to do the minimum hiding so the guard won’t be able to find out about it.
And tomorrow morning he wishes to talk to Charlotte and have her cooperate, because he fears that if the situation comes to sudden she becomes stunned and becomes someone that can bring ruin to his plan.
Morning came 6:00 AM Alvis woke up earlier than planned and Charlotte woke up at the same time as him.
(Perfect timing!)
Alvis whispered, “Hey, Charlotte can we walk for a second?”
Alvis decided to drop some of the formal language because it is not the right situation for it.
“Y-yes!” Charlotte was surprised by the sudden conversation because Alvis hadn't talked to her since yesterday and the way Alvis talked to her is different than usual.
Alvis began to explain his plan to Charlotte
Each minute passes by and just like that the clock hit 7:00 AM
Alvis became more nervous as this was his first time doing this sort of stuff. But he had solid will in continuing it.
“Alright let's do this!” in a whisper voice.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
