《The Tiger Lily Mistaken for a Weed》Part 3: A Little White Lie
Advertisement
The Selecting ground is a clearing, devoid of grass in the middle, with wood that gave a shine off. A statue was in the middle, and it held the image of a wizened Woods God, a long white beard, pointed white eyebrows, a bald head like a monk, and caring green eyes, lovingly looking at a Robin held in its left hand. This was the protector God of the Village, Narzaak.
In front of the statue was an altar, with children in front of it, ranging from 3 months of age, to 2 years of age. However, there was an oddity. A five-year-old sitting with them. It was a boy wearing a green and red motif tunic, wearing dark brown leather pants, and soft fur shoes. His hair was long, a light brown-blonde, and tied up like a ponytail. His blue green eyes shifted from side to side, waiting.
Not too long afterwards, the Clan Leader came walking out, smiling happily. His voice boomed out "Hello, members of the Xiu Clan, the Xiu clan Branch family, and the Villagers of our fine Village Normanstrod. It is, once again, the time for the Cultivation ceremony, where our young ones shall receive a Cultivation Technique. "taking a short breath, he continued, "Another piece of good news is that Xiu Mei has finally reached age five and is eligible for the ceremony. He has been unable to receive one because his Dantian, or his Qi Sea, as some of you know it, seemed to have been slightly damaged so we wanted it to be healthy."
He nodded, waiting as the villagers and clansmen nodded in agreement. "Aright, Let's get this over with!" He said, smiling widely and laughing. "Koi Xiang, come forward." As he said this, a girl of two years stood up, slowly walking towards Clan Leader Molark. "Little Xiang here had her Dantian partially hurt, which is why its taken so long for her. She is receiving the technique Lion Grabs the Sun. It is her heritage technique that allows her to slowly make Dantian fire, and form them into whips, and control their temperature at will, without having to worry about her body overheating, as she will gain an immunity to fire while making the Dantian fire. Once the course of that technique is completed, she can receive the follow up technique, Lion Cools the Sun, which allows her to use a Dantian ice version of Lion Grabs the Sun. Once that is complete, she may begin mixing and experimenting on her own. "

As this was said, Mei looked at the girl. She was a red headed child with freckles on her face, small, angular brown eyes, wearing a small light blue Smock-frock, with dark black leather boots. She wasn't extraordinary, but her family is the only ones in the village with red hair. After she received a jade gem and put her Qi into it to learn the technique, she sat back down, and the rest began.

8 186A Mildly Odd Reality Breaker
Omar receives an unexpected visitor who comes baring a gift—a "registration ticket"—in the form of a small metal card. The ticket is itself an offer to participate in the game, "Reality Break." Accepting this offer means that Omar will be able to perceive the true nature of reality where there is not one, but two dimensions of time, and in this second dimension history changes (and somewhat "frequently"). Along with this, he will also gain access to the "chronopause"; another reality that is not so much parallel to our own as it is perpendicular, which acts as both a place and the natural boundary between non-sequential points on the timeline. Using the chronopause, Omar will become a chrononaut with the ability to travel through time, and as a player, he will be given a cybernetic interface and his own portable extradimensional storage space. It's a strange conversation, but due to Omar's dismally short attention span, he only consciously hears that last bit about the portable pocket space, and that's only after the physics-defying void is opened in his living room and literally waved in front of his face. Reality is certainly stranger than most people realize, but then again, so is Omar. Thankfully, he responds well to shiny things, and for better or for worse, his chronic inattentiveness is the least of his psychological issues. Omar also has a mild form of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" which presents itself as an occasional, arbitrary need to disobey others (especially authority figures). However, his oddest psychological issue by far is his "abnormally hyperactive" subconscious mind. Outwardly and consciously, Omar is a lazy, apathetic man-child prone to mildly asinine behavior. Subconsciously, he's some sort of genius capable of extraordinary feats of cognition. Most of the time, Omar is a (technically) functioning adult, but in order to live as such, he must rely entirely upon unusual abilities he's completely unaware of, despite the fact that he uses them regularly. Up until now, his life had merely been ridiculous, but now it was also a game. Note: The narrative style is that of a reliable narrator with a "3rd-person sarcastic" POV. This story takes place in the Reality Breakers/Chronopause universe.
