《Celestial Beings: Evolution》Stage 1: Midget II (Chapter 10)

[Instrument has been unlocked]
[You are now Celestial Calipso Instrument]
I didn't know whether to feel panicked, or relieved that I'm now an Instrument. I looked over to her and I really didn't know what to say.
"Okay" Calipso said with a smile. "Your stat window is almost perfect, it's a shame you have two stats in Endurance and not one, but it's okay." She stated whilst observing.
"Uh, how can you see my Stat Window?" I stated in confusion.
"You're my Instrument, I can see your Stat Window whenever I want to, okay anyways enough chit chat".
Calipso clapped her hands together and we ended up in a forest, however none of the trees had any branches or leaves, they just looked like poles. Also I felt so distorted, I almost puked.
"When you Level up to Level 11, put everything into Wisdom to get to 25, then you'll be able to use Mana. It is completely vital that you do not use [Mana Sense] without me. You'll probably mess it up like your friend". Calipso started laughing to herself, mocking Eloxus.
"How did he mess it up? He ended up with quite a strong power I believe". Again, I was confused. Calipso was pretty clear in the way she spoke, but I had to ask her to explain more things as this world is completely new.
"He didn't let the droplets come to him, which would usually be fine, however he never used [Mana Sense] in combat, only sat down. This is a terrible way of doing it as you'll have a hard time adapting to your magic, usually you would spar with someone whilst using [Mana Sense], and when you got to around half completion, you'll be given information about what skill you're going to get, and sometimes if you're lucky it can transform into it's next level. An example being, if you end up with Water Magic, it is possible for Holy Power to be attached to it when you complete it, however that is only if you're compatible. If your friend used [Mana Sense] whilst killing Monsters, he may have had access to Illusion Magic ontop of Puppeteering".

I understood the principle of it, but doesn't that mean Eloxus royally messed up? Like completely? I better not tell him this, since I think he has a short temper.
"Anyways enough of that, your Species Skill [Propel] is actually very good. For now you'll practice here until you get used to it, and I expect it to be levelled up a few times. You can Level up skills by obviously using the skill, however, experiment with the skill, this may shoot the level up if you find a completely new way to use the skill. For now, I'm not going to intefere. There are [Venomous Snakes] all around in this forest, I expect atleast 10 of them to die. Unfortunately, in here you will not gain Experience Points since this is a space I created".
"Calipso, I can't stay here long. Eloxus may be worrying about me".
"That's fine. 10 hours in here is only 10 minutes in the real world, you won't miss anything since the higherups will shout at me for missing an important event". Calipso grunted as she mentioned higherups.
"Event?" I was starstruck.
"You'll learn about it later, goodbye for now, I'll see you in 10 hours".
Aly stared for for a minute, confused. She didn't know what just happened, all she knew is that she has to train.
She tried jumping, and only just realised that now she is an actual species, she jumps quite high, around a2 meter, which is very high in comparison to a normal person jumping. She wasn't sure if it was her agility, or the fact that her species excels in high speeds. She didn't contemplate it too much and as she jumped, she crouched her legs onto the tree, and said [Propel]. It looked like she was flying, she went as such a high speed, and then crashed into another tree. She was in pain, although she was fine.

She had never used a skill other than [Search], so she was confused on how it worked, but eventually after a few more tries, she was able to use [Propel] without saying the word.
Aly got the hang of it quite fast. She was able to propel from a tree, to another quite frequently.
[Propel] - Beginner Level One -> [Propel] - Beginner Level Three
She looked at the systems notification and she was content with the results. She then saw a [Venomous Snake], and readied her dagger. WIthout Eloxus and Tep, she thought it'd be difficult, however she thought of something.
She propelled off a tree like she normally would, however this time readied her daggers infront of her, like she had claws.
bam
She completely beheaded the snake. In one swoop.
She was ecstatic, with this new found power she can hold her own despite being a oneshot kill, although that is if she ever got caught. [Propel] can be used both defensively and offensively, it was a good skill for quick assissations, and it could be used for initiating a fight, aswell as for running away due to it's high speed.
Aly continued this for the whole of the ten hours. The results were shocking. She ended up killing 38 [Venomous Snakes], aswell as getting [Propel] to Level 8 (Beginner).

Sourced From: My First Familiar Assigned text for third-year mages For young mages, obtaining their first familiar is a momentous occasion. Their magic forms a symbiotic relationship with their bonded mage, amplifying their's strengths and covering for their weaknesses. Often the strength of one's familiar is a key factor in how far a mage will go in their career. They are considered a necessity in the Empire of Afaron and the surrounding nations. Once familiars were caught in the wild and brought back for training and bonding. Eventually, however, the wild magic beasts were hunted to the point that they could no longer be found. Those that had been bred domestically would often produce magicless offspring. Nowadays the mages of Afaron know nothing of how familiars are bred, raised, and tamed. Once every three years, the Order of Beast Tamers come down from their mountain strongholds with caravans loaded with familiars purchased by noble families and magic academies. The Beast Tamer's generosity hides a dark truth. If you can't find a magic beast, make one. (Warning: Mild Nudity)

Ira’s Faithful
[On Hiatus due to health reasons] Synopsis: Fate has plans for everyone. There are many paths one can walk and many nodes one can unlock. Yet all mortal souls only start with one node. This has been the case for many years and while there are some records of people with more than one first node, these are as rare as wings on snails, roses made of air, or ropes made of dragon-hair. Elise Anker has two first nodes. She doesn't know why and the only one that could answer is an angry voice in her head. She hears it rarely and the voice is as helpful as a sword is effective against a Leviathan. She strives to become a mage, a knight or maybe something else entirely. The future is uncertain and unless she finds out what her nodes mean, she will never know what she wants to become. But her nodes won't unlock and the angry voice tells her that she needs to find a worthy foe to kill. Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. I am also not a professional author. This is simply a rough draft and therefore subject to change.
