“This limit is called God’s limiter. It is a limitation in the human body itself, and nothing we could do could actually breach it.”
Liu Feng sat down in the lotus position and started calmly breathing. Then, within his mind, he called upon the four spirits to allow him to absorb mana. Then, all four of his tattoos started glowing, and it appeared as if the mana entered his body through those tattoos, as if they were the interface between the human body and magic. Liu Feng could now see red, green, blue and brown specks of light in the air. He tried to take them all in. The red and blue specks entered him through the back, the green through his right hand, and brown specks through his right foot. It seemed that he grew a bit powerful with every increase in mana. The body seemed to absorb some of the mana and grew stronger with it.
Lucas looked at Liu Feng and could feel that he was absorbing an inordinate amount of mana. When he tried to probe Liu Feng’s body however, there seemed to be an invisible stopping him. He stopped. He looked at his own tattoo on his forearm. It was that of a qilin, and it was red in color. Lucas was also a fire mage. That was why he could see fire mana entering Liu Feng’s body, but his intuition told him that there was more that he couldn’t see.
“I am getting old. My senses seem to be failing me.”, Lucas told himself. He kept waiting for Liu Feng to wake up when he heard sounds outside the door. He shouted to Liu Feng, “Wake up boy. That's enough for now. People are coming, you don’t want to look like this.”

Liu Feng woke up, and then stretched. He yawned and then lay on the bed. He looked at Lucas and nodded. Lucas disappeared back into the book. Then, Liu Feng’s father, Liu Man, his mother, Mo Daiyu, and his teachers. Liu Man then sat next to Liu Feng, and said,
“I know that you have gone through a hard time, and you must be tired, but you must understand that you are a prince. You have shown a maturity since young that was unexpected in young’uns and I hope that you continue like that. You will start your classes tomorrow. Your teachers will check your condition, and if you are healthy, you will start immediately. As royalty, you must learn at a young age the will power and determination required to be a good king. You must also be able to protect yourself.”
Then, Samiel stepped forward and smiled at Liu Feng. Liu Feng nodded at him, and Samiel took Liu Feng’s hand. He coursed some mana into Liu Feng’s arm, but Liu Feng felt it was a bit dirtier than what he had absorbed. The mana left his body back to Samiel, and Samiel confirmed with Liu Man that Liu Feng was alright.
“Great then. It is settled. Liu Feng will start tomorrow. As for today, so that you won’t feel bored, all your teachers have prepared a little work for you to do.”
Liu Man and his troupe left, leaving Liu Feng enraged.
“A little work!? This is homework that was supposed to be done over a week? How does he expect me to do it in one day? I am a recovering child. How can a father be so ruthless?”
But out of helplessness, Liu Feng took out the books, and started studying, when he remembered something.

“Lucas, what were the trials that you faced? Mine seemed a bit different than most.”
“Ohh, everyone thinks that, but it’s the same for everyone. The first trial is a trial about knowledge. Everyone gets a book regarding alchemy, and has to learn all the recipes in them. Then you have the trial of courage. You have to willingly die five times. After that, you have the trial of worthiness. Here you will have to fight a golem. You did all this right?

Virtuous Sons
The saying goes that when a man is born the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. Then one day the man dies, and the swaddle becomes a shroud. Heaven moves on. It is audacity to question the Fates. Olympus is Olympus. The land of men is the land of men. To transgress that, to cross the line of divinity and scale Olympus Mons? To defy the Fates and cast off their threads? That is hubris. It’s a mark that every philosopher bears plainly on their soul. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

What happens when one creates a story then leaves everything to chance? Thousands of paths stretch out endlessly that separate into even more, countless paths. And then, all but one is destroyed with a single roll of a twenty-sided die. The die becomes the true author while the writer just provides possibilities then takes a backseat and narrates. This story will be random. To save time, the characters and some of the events will be somewhat generic, but past that all bets are off. It will create tropes and then shatter them. Characters can and will die. Even the writer doesn’t know how this story will play out. The die is the god of this world that rolls and everything it says goes. The writer is the god of this world whose whims become reality after the die rolls. Cover art was done by PrimalAvatar from INKed.
