《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).

But being reborn in what he believed to be a fictional universe had only seemed as the premise of stories.Waking up to a void of nothing, no light, no body, no feeling, and then being thrown into the midst of what had once seemed a mere fantasy— it was too much.As an A.I., how much could he change? Could he save Tony? Could he save the world without his sacrifice? Or should he not do anything? What if his existence was the butterfly that would destroy the timeline, and with it, the universe?Was this even a choice? Was he to play the villain?

Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe. You can read them here: Dark Fantasy Short Stories.
