“Finally” Mark smiled. During last few days he continued to train inner manipulation, and strengthening, but when he indeed could do it much easier with a skill, further progress, while existing, was slow. In the firs place, it had taken him weeks to learn first level, so who know how long second level will take?
And there was ten overall...
So he welcomed warmly change brought by jobs counter reaching 100%. Noticing a marker appearing beside it, Mark pointed it mentally.
Choose a single job from below:
Unborn, Soul-formed, Apprentice Magician, Apprentice Farmer.
Warning! Remember that you can't choose a new job without previously completely assimilating your previous one.
Without thinking too much Mark tried to point each of job's name.
Unborn

This choice will vanish once you are born.

Slight positive corrections to learning and leveling skills affiliated with farming.
Very slight positive correction to learning all things affiliated with farming even if they are not expressed with skills.
Slight positive correction to all actions related to farming and to all harvests.
All of these jobs were quite interesting and packet with information, still where he could guess from where first three came... why farmer? He definitely didn't do anything that would justify it...Still, choice was rather obvious as 'Unborn' was only job with a time limit, and certainty, that he will be able to 'assimilate' it... whatever it meant... So without unnecessary thoughts Mark made his choice.

Magical Power: 5.35 → 5.37

Yes no doubt, it was the right choice. In the first place, Mark tried to not think about all this 'labor' issues, as it worried him a lot. After all, even in advanced technologically Earth accidents during childbirth were still happening. Having something that would help here was worth a lot, even if you didn't count other benefits.
From which automatic understanding of his parents language was very tempting by itself.
Satisfied from his choice Mark returned to training his magic power manipulation.
Still three months left.
***
Around one month later...
Last day Mark felt very uncomfortable, he didn't know exact reason, but he suspected that something bad happened outside. Fortunately, it didn't seem as it had any permanent negative effect (as far as he could feel) but he still was worried. He even though about infusing his magical power like during his 'strengthening' into his mother body, but ultimately rejected the idea. He didn't know if infusing not your own magical power could have any negative consequences. After all if you try to transfer blood with a wrong group it would be tragic even if you use a minimal dose. And his own mother was definitely not someone that he wanted to test it.

… And one more month later.
Skill “Magic Power Manipulation” reached lvl 2!
Magical power + 5
Spiritual strength + 1*2
Mark smiled, lately his face muscles finally developed enough for him to do it in reality and not only in his mind. Still, it had taken him two months to reach second of ten levels... was he really that untalented? Or maybe he was doing something wrong? Well I didn't really matter now, every bit of progress was welcome.
Interesting thing, were bonuses to attributes from skills doubled with each level?
Fortunately, whatever it was that made him feel uncomfortable month or so ago, passed without any repercussion. He probably was worried without reason anyway.
Putting it aside moment of his birth was probably coming close.
And some more time on the future.
It was happening.
It really was happening!
He had to remember to not panic! He needed a clear mi-
Oh God, it was really happening!
Should he do something? Or just let nature take its course? Some time ago his position reversed, what was proper if anything that he read in his previous life books was true in this world as well.
It was, right?
It had to be!
And he had this job that helped in safe delivery too... Surely it will be alrig-
Mark thoughts were broke by strong feeling of pressure from most of the directions around him. It was strong to the point of being painful.
Oh, God! It really was happening!

Those who remained immune soon moved into enclaves. In Japan, the feudal system revolving around the samurai class was revived, and resource wars became common.In the present, the Tachiyama Clan is under attack by the brutal Sasagawa Clan whose goal is nothing less than the total subjegation of all remaining human enclaves. Both sides take to the battlefield with human soldiers, robots, and the powerful Augmented Samurai -- cyborg warriors who do battle by plugging into six-meter-tall mecha.Hard sci-fi samuraipunk action!Posting schedule will be slightly faster in the early chapters as I have most of them ready to go.

The Supernormal
In a world where fantasy has become everyday, one man stands against absurdity. The local Tower stomps through the streets. Any hedge could contain a witch. Walls regularly crumble, though none more often than the fourth. In the magical city of Blackpool, all ridiculousness is possible, and it takes everything for Jack Of All Trades to survive. Badly, at that. Perpetually late with his rent, he'll take up arms for any paying customer in order to fulfill his quest. His obstacles include polka-loving ghosts, card-game playing vampires, and the most vicious monsters of all: copyright lawyers. When he's joined by an arrogant magus and an insecure vampire, his life gets even more complicated, but no matter what kind of infuriating choose-your-own-adventure he finds himself on, one constant remains—his rent is due at the end of the month. On second thoughts, maybe he should stay in bed. The Supernormal isn't your average web-novel. It's an urban fantasy parody that saunters through a world full of the absurd, delighting in poking fun at popular media, widely-accepted ideas, and often itself. Story arcs only loosely connect through the characters, who are themselves slowly fleshed out as the story continues. Think of Discworld meets The Dresden Files meets Gintama. This novel won't be for everyone, but if it is for you, you're in for a hell of a ride.

She was getting no choice in who she marries.But then something happened. Someone new appeared in her life. And she can't stop thinking about the man. But there's no way her father would ever approve.Okayyyy hey so this is my first fic, and obviously it's historical Hamgelica (cause my OTP needs more rep...lowkey Angelica just needs more rep. She's the most underrated Schuyler sister but she's my favorite so fight me).Anyways hope you guys like it.Also I did have to change some historical stuff to make it fit better. For instance I made John Church kinda a jerk but her father like him and want her to marry him dispite it being about the opposite in history.
