《Time of Devil》Chapter 2 : Skill
Advertisement
I also had thought one day I would work hard and aim to become a governor but I didn’t know that was just a dream.
In these 2 years my life has been very harsh.
All I thought was I would get stronger and someday I will make everyone proud and keep working hard until all of my stats became 3 digits from 6 digits.
I got abandoned.
I didn’t know why I am the only one in the world that can’t get stronger. I kept regretting that the “Maxim” occurred.
I couldn’t get into any school.
Nobody wanted to befriend me.
After all these things happening to me I tried to stay focused and calm.
Everywhere I went I got bullied.
They said “ This is not a place for weak kid like you to roam around”
I went around different places where no one would know me but due to the earth being grown so much that even Vatican city was bigger than the previous earth.
I couldn't even walk a few miles.
Months passed by
I had no money left nor food.
I wanted to go hunt but I would die even from the rabbits if there were 2 of them.
As I had read many books before I had known how to make and use a few traps.
I made a box filled with spikes and some bait and waited for some rabbits to pass by.
Two of the rabbits went inside.
I thought of activating the trap but I hadn't eaten in a few days so I became greedier.
Two of them ate most of the bait but luckily I got the third one inside.
I activated the trap and killed them.
I took them out and ate them.
Since I had nowhere to go I asked myself “ what did i do to deserve this ? “

I had such a good life before
-A family
-Good grades
I was even one of the best students in my school
Why did the world suddenly changed
Even if it changed why was I the one that was this unlucky
WHYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!???
I lived around a month hunting using traps and eating , regretting and sleeping.
I saw someone coming into the forest one day. He had nice stats and it seemed like he even knew how to use magic.
He killed all the rabbits and took them right before my eyes.
I couldn't even talk to him. All I did was look at him taking away my only means of food.
I liked being in that forest because I would have been alone. Far away from everyone.
I was sick of hearing them.
(few days passed by )
I haven't eaten in a few days.
I heard another group of people in the forest.
They had came to train themselves.
TRAIN
For some reason I ran away from there as fast as I could.
Even I didn't know why I felt such disappointment seeing them train and become happy about their stats going up.
I knew if I train once more my stats would end up becoming one digit.
Then I got a thought “ what would happen even if they become one digit”
“I was the weakest before this and I will be the weakest after this.
Nothing will change
I tried to train.
My stats went down the moment I tried to gather the mana.
Not just magic but the overall stats went down
I still continued
After 2 days of continuous training my stats became :
*Name:Akuma*
*Age: 15*
*Stats*
Strength:1 Speed:1
Magic:1 Stamina:1
Luck : 0 Endurance:1
Intelligence: ??? Creativity:???
*Skills*
Passive : “??????”
Active:”??????”
I got a hint of something.

My luck stats was increasing when it was in minus value before but it stopped on 0
I laughed at myself
Who would even have as bad luck as me.
I thought of stopping but i thought what would happen if i make it in minus value
Will it decrease everytime i walk?
Will it decrease everytime i try to gather mana?
I became curious
I trained for 2 more days with only my mana but nothing changed
I thought of doing training for every stats .
Then on the third day my system broke.
It didn’t show itself even when I wanted to.
I thought I became a normal person.
Then i get the notification
*ping*

I was shocked.
My stats window became weirder and it looked different from usual.
It began to glitch.
*Name:Akuma*
*Age: 15*
*Stats*
Strength:1 Speed:1
Magic:1 Stamina:1
Luck : 1 Endurance:1
Intelligence: ??? Creativity:???
*Skills*
Passive : “Time of death”
Active:”Devil’s domain”
*ping*
( inventory unlocked )
( System 0 unlocked )
I didn't understand what system 0 meant.
I thought it was the reason why my stats window was looking different
But I didn't pay much attention to it because of the skills I got.
I didn’t knew how to activate “Devil’s Domain”
I had watched many anime before so I tried replicating some of them but it didn't work.
Then I tried doing hand signs.
Still nothing worked.
I said aloud “ Akuma no ryōiki” ( translated “Devil's domain” into japanese)
”
And I thought of making 1 second for 10 years.
It got activated
The moment I could realize I activated the skill
I was on the ground.
I couldn’t stand up nor sit.
Even with this I was feeling no pain.
I couldn’t see my stats window.
I tried to stand up but the pressure was so high that if I got exhausted my lungs would explode.
I spent 5 months trying to stand up in that domain.
But I couldn’t stand up.
I made deactivated Devil’s domain
And I was back in the forest.
Second later
My body felt like it was gonna explode.
I felt so much pain.
I thought it would be better to die rather than experience this pain.
It was over but I couldn't even properly walk for few hours due to that experience.
Nothing had happened to my body,
I tried to figure out why I was feeling so much pain.
I opened the stats window.
Then I figured it out.
It could help me to become stronger massively but the drawbacks are also there.
I wondered what would happen next time I tried to read in that domain.
I got shocked when I figured out that all of my stats went up.
*Name:Akuma*
*Age: 15*
*Stats*
Strength:302 Speed: 295
Magic:290 Stamina:300
Luck : 1 Endurance:500
Intelligence: ??? Creativity:???
*Skills*
Passive : “Time of death”
Active:”Devil’s domain”

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

Having never reached old age nor found love, he swore that if reincarnated once more, he'd forsake the tragic hero's path in favor of a peaceful life.With his wish granted, Andras found himself within the Central Hospital in Seoul, the capital of South Korea. Instead of being reborn, his soul now occupied a body of a teenager who had forsaken his own life in what some assumed was just an accident.

"Montana, come here." He nodded his head toward the door, leaving out of the room. Staying silent as Ms. Carol looked at me, I kissed the back of Josiah's hand before leaving out of the room. As I walked out, Messiah stood there looking at me in disgust while I closed the door. "What are you doing that shit for?" "Huh?" I said since I had nothing else to say, just trying to stall time to get my words together."Why are you stripping, Monty?"Sighing, I decided that I wasn't going to lie like I'd originally planned to do after listening to Chocolate's stupid advice. "Money." I spoke simply and he scoffed as I looked down."Why not just ask Josiah for money instead doing hoe shit?" "First of all, It's not doing hoe shit. I don't have sex with anyone. I just dance. And I don't want to ask him for any money. It's not his job to take care of me.""So stripping..." He trailed off with a laugh."..stripping was the last resort? Instead of putting your pride aside?" Saying nothing, I just looked at him with pleading eyes."Please don't tell him, Messiah." I could already tell by the look on his face that he was going to tell him."I ain't gon' tell him.." Thank God. I thought. "..you are." "What?!" I shrieked. "No. I'm not.""You are." He spoke in a demanding tone."Please. You know how he is." I expressed"And you know how he is too but you made that bed." "Messiah, he's going to kill me." I begged."I know." He shook his head, walking away from me."Better figure it out. You got until the end of the day to tell him or I will." He mumbled before walking back into the room.
