《Rise of the nefarious devil》5 - New world

After that , Carl started looking around as he found himself in a room that reeked of poverty , he then found several strange memories in his head..
-
13 years ago , in an empty hall , that had statues around it , there seemed to be a baby was floating there , and it looked like it was created out of nothingness, but if one were to focus on the scene , they would see spatial distortions where the baby came from..
Then one of the statues that was on the hall suddenly opened it's eyes and started talking in a hoarse voice , seemingly casting a spell :" All nefarious devils shall be damned , cursed throughout eternity by all heavens.
Thee's talent shall be trash , but thy shall be able to refine thou's bodies."
It then stopped talking for a few seconds before continuing in a neutral tone:" That spell was tiring, now that it is done , time for explanation.
The heavens always hate us - the nefarious devils. Whether it is lower heavens , or the supreme heavens , it's all the same.
We can only get stronger by absorbing people's blood and flesh , and become geniuses through absorbing their talent.
The heavens won't know about the existence of us until you start your transcendence in the 12th dimension , As the founder of our race made such circumstances for all nefarious devils to cultivate without being noticed by the supreme heavens, so start cultivation depending on the next world's strength.
This hall is where talented children from the next mission's world are taken , thus putting your soul in them , and where you must come before going to missions.
This would only happen in the first time , as next time you'll get to choose whether to swap your whole body or soul.
As for the child that was just made , it is your current body in the lowest heaven that you were in , and your body in the next world too, as there were slight changes in reality for the world you're going in , to successfully fit you in that world.

That wouldn't be the same case for other missions, as there will be either new bodies chosen for putting your soul in them , or going by the same current body.
Now for the current world's strength , it is mainly a martial arts world - but there are only 3 levels , which are Practicioner Knight , Minor Knight and High Knight.
Work on tempering your will , as It's best if you work harder on it , because in the longer run on cultivation realms you'll find out about their grades and true significance.
Though for you it's different as you'll have to refine your blood in the four realms (1/64 16/64 32/64 64/64) , because due to the energy in the air which is Qi , but designed to only temper the body, it is different for you.." A beam then shot forwards into the baby's head , as it then continue:"..This is the cultivation technique you'll be following - Blood Refinement , It refines your blood through the four realms , but by converting the Qi into the devilish death Qi , which was inherently only used to temper the body , thus making your blood stronger than even normal nefarious devils your age , though that if they still existed.
It will show you more ranks the higher you require to breakthrough , but that is only in the main world where you came from - the lowest heaven , so you mustn't just cultivate on a whim , as that would make your cultivation harder , especially since you only cultivated depending on a cultivation techniques from your past life that you modified specifically in order to fit the current realms , so you must change to this new technique.."
"..Now enough , the next mission is pretty simple , become the next emperor and leave a heir to make it continue , and work on making it prosperous, and be able to protect itself for at least the next thousand years.."

The figure then started giving him information about the current empire he was in , the big powers in it , etc.
-
After a while , Carl finally let out a breath as he digested the information , though he was still thoughtful about the existence of the hall , the figure in it , he figured he'll slowly know of their existence when time arrives..
He then looked around as he finally knew where he was - an orphanage which went by the name " CARING HOME " , signifying that it was a home for all orphans , and cared for them by giving them food lives.
Though that looked to be the case when someone visited the orphanage, that naturally wasn't the truth as it was the exact opposite - the owner sent orphans to the mines in order to get extra money , and the donations sent for the wellbeing of the orphans were all taken by the owner himself..
Carl frowned as he found that his situation always was a bad one , but sighed calmly as he knew that he had to go through these minor struggles again and again in order to truly temper his thoughts and will.
After that , he got out of his room as he found out about the nearby rooms that looked close to his , and then remembered that his previous self was always isolated to everyone , as he was in a depressed state close to suicide..
He shook his head calmly , throwing away the useless thoughts , while currently thinking about his current plans..
-
' The royal academy along with some academies would choose some talented youngsters - mostly nobles though , to cultivate them to the High Knight realm and keep them as powerhouses if there were any wars upcoming..
Now the current emperor is Stefan Dreyer - as the current empire's name is Dreyer empires , it's weird how they names their empires though ..' He shook his head as he was getting useless thoughts , and continued thinking :' Now the problem is the big discrimination between commoners , nobles, and royal family.
So it'll be pretty hard to rise up the ranks in the academy without being suppressed , gaining a backer is an idea but then my goal is being the emperor ..' He then started making some future plans , until he remembered something, and showed an excited grin on his face:' I need to get a few talented younglings in order to make the talent for reaching High Knight reach the very peak.." He subconsciously licked his lips as he thought of the bodies he was going to refine..
-
Carl then got out of the orphanage , and started looking for those who were training martial arts everywhere with his spiritual sense - as his soul was strong enough to use it.
He then came upon a pair of young children - a small girl along with a small boy that had been training themselves by fighting , that looked to be the same age as Carl's current body - around 13.
He smiled as he licked his lips , and then continued waiting for them to leave...

Gateway
An archaeologist by the name of Søren Quinn wakes up elsewhere after boarding a plane for Iceland. Now he has to come to terms with a significant loss of recent memory and his apparent death and rebirth, provided he can survive the rigors of the Tutorial on Gateway Station and whatever waits for him after the Tutorial. Updates. When I can... sorry. Author's Note. Gateway is a portal/isekai style GameLit novel, but it has two main lead characters and will eventually have a small cast of minor lead characters to support them. There will be small elements of base building / kingdom management added as well over time, but they will not be the focus. Gateway really is a slow burn that takes some time to get going unfortunately, but I hope you find it's worth the wait. Thank you! p.s. Book One is finally done (only needed one more chapter unfortunately...) but I'm off hiatus now and will be starting on Book Two right away!
8 132High Mage of New Eden; Birth of the Council

8 396Luck 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.
