《Lord of the Supernatural》Chapter 2: His Abilities and World
Advertisement
Cheng Hao was really intrigue by the information and went over it again to see if he could get more information, but to no avail.
He looked around the surroundings and confirmed that he was inside of the temple, even though he had never been in it before.
The inside of the temple was not small, being 5-meter-high, 20 meters long and with a width 10 meter. The wall of the entire temple was made of rock that where uneven, making the place look chaotic and undignified.
Inside of the temple, there was only one window and that window was behind a statue that was sitting upon a throne made of rooks. Calling it a statue may not even be appropriate as the statue was not completed, it was more like a natural rock that just happened to be in the shape of a person.
The front of the temple was a wide opened area that should have been the door but was left unfinished or purposely left that way. It seems to be that way as to allow lots of worshiper to come inside at once.
After looking at the surrounding and getting a feel for it, he immediately put his attention to something else, his abilities. As soon as he got the information from the temple, he also receives five abilities.
These abilities are powers the temple received after Origin Temple spilt into seven parts, that’s to say that the other six temples also had abilities as well, before they got destroyed that is.
The first ability he has, he thinks it’s the best, even though all the temple has this one. The ability is Telepathy. He would be able to read minds and send his thoughts to anyone if they are in an area of 1 mile from him (temple).
The reason he thinks this ability is the best is because he would be able to pass of as a god if someone come to pray here, if they know that a god reside here, they would not dare to destroy the temple, if they found it. Of course, if said god doesn’t benefit but hinder them, they are bound to be destroyed.

As for why he thinks the temple might be destroyed? That’s because it would be weird if it wasn’t, considering who owns the world now. Humans could be considered a god from a point of view, a destruction god that is.
The second ability is the main reason for the temple’s survival, Camouflage. The temple was able to use this ability to hide itself by blending in with its surrounding environment that no one could find it. If one doesn’t come within 20 meters of the temple, its impossible to find it, but it’s a pity that this ability was finally seen through as he was here in the end.
The third ability is kind of useless to him as it has no allure to him at all, the ability is Ability Steal. With this ability he would be able to steal the powers of other people if they have weaker mentally/soul than him or if he defeats the individual.
Since he’s bound to the temple, he can’t leave 1 mile from the temple or he would be deflected by an invisible barrier. Even if he could, where would he get these abilities from? The gods and dinosaurs have long died out, so it’s impossible to steal from them. Esper’s? Those are only fantasy of people who have too much free time on hand.
As for the fourth ability, Reincarnation? Its also useless as he is immortal if the temple lives. That’s to say, even if he dies, he would reborn immediately. Although it doesn’t have much use to him, if he uses it on someone, he could reincarnate them into anything, if they are in a mile radius of the temple.
The last ability is the second best on his list of abilities, Lend. With this ability he would be able to give people abilities as well as taken them back as he’s only lending it. When he saw this ability, he wonders if the gods in myth also use this ability, as its mention lots of times that gods have their own companions.

After looking at the abilities, Hao was disappointed as he only got these few abilities as he knows that the other temples had at least eight to ten of them. He soon shook his head as he knows that the abilities he has are few because they are too powerful, and they could develop to become more powerful in the future.
For example, the reincarnation ability that he has should be the blend of life and death coming together to create reincarnation, that’s to say he could develop a new ability from the reincarnation ability if he explored it.
“Now what to do?” there is not much to do as he’s dead and is only a spirt that floats around the temple. He can’t go home (nor does he plan to) as he doesn’t really have one. He had also scanned the area around the temple but found no one around, well there were some tigers and lions.
The ability to scan the area around him is an ability that only available to him, it can’t be lend to anyone else either, so it can’t really be call ability. He calls it God Vision, as nothing can hide from him in a radius of a mile of the temple.
“Maybe I should look at the world inside of the temple?” Well he knows that there was a world inside of the Origin Temple that was easily thousands of times bigger than earth, but what about his temple? Does he also have a world?
Brimming in anticipation, he flew towards the statue and disappeared inside of it.
He soon appeared in an unfamiliar place that took his nonexistent breath away. Not far away from him, he saw a towering black globe that he assumed to be his world. The world was completely different from the world that he was used to by being desolate black.
Curiosity got the better of him as he flew into the globe and shocked at how big it was. Before, even though it was big, he had assumed that it was because he was to far away from it but seeing it from the inside he could tell that the world was at least twice the size of earth.
As he looked at the planet, he notices that although its bigger than earth, its lacking life as there is only lifelessness visible. There is only towering mountains, barren plains, rumbling rivers and oceans but still no life.
He knew the reason for this was because the temple didn’t have any owner before him and couldn’t actively develop the world by itself, even the Origin Temple couldn’t do it. In the end, the temples are only tools to use.
Although he could develop the world, he can’t do it currently as he can’t affect the material world as he is a spirt. If he could, he would be able to take plant and animals from earth to this world to let it develop and became more inhabited.
As he looks at the world, he made a silent promise in his heart to make this world a world that he had always dreamt of. As he looked at his world he became bored as he had nothing to do.
“Maybe I should try may abilities as I don’t have anything to do.” He can’t use Telepathy as he needs a target. He can’t use Camouflage either as no one could see him anyway. He can’t use Ability Steal as he has no ability to steal. That leaves Reincarnation and Lend.
“Reincarnation it is.” As soon as he made his choice, he shouted reincarnation in his head, a black vortex soon appeared in front of him, it sucked him in and he disappeared.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

The Man Who Walked in the Dark
Just because it can be found, doesn't mean it should. All things found, all things fixed. Jude Demarco was the best private detective Nicodemia Station had ever ignored. Detective, handyman, medic. He was a bulldog who tracked down every lead and wouldn't let go until the bloody truth died dripping in his jaws. Even if someone got hurt. Even if someone got killed. You lost it? He can find it. When a collector arrives in a private cruiser from Earth looking for a stolen painting, Demarco has to decide if a few dimes are worth dealing with the worst of the worst in Nicodemia Station. It'll pit him against crime lords, government bureaucrats, and, even worse, the Catholic Church. If there's anything folks get too passionate about, it's art and religion. No sane person would take a job that mixed the two. Then again, sometimes a person just gets desperate.
