《Harry Potter: Dimensional Wizard》Arcane Empire (II)
Advertisement
Since Hugo and Albus were best friends since young, they decided to share the same dormitory--just like they did at Hogwarts. So, after registering, the family took the kids into their dormitory.
Inside Albus's room, Harry gave his son a private lecture.
"Abus, I'm sure you are wondering why I insisted on you becoming a Magic Researcher instead of following in my footstep and becoming a Battle Mage."
Albus nodded his head.
"That's because of your grandfather, James. Throughout the years, our family has been trying to raise enough Arcane Points to resurrect him. Unfortunately, the amount required is truly enormous."
Albus frowned after hearing this, then he asked: "Then, how did all those people in the news manage to gather enough points?"
Harry looked at his wife after hearing this question, after she nodded his head, he explained: "Well, I will tell you a little secret. None of these people have gathered enough Arcane Points to resurrect someone.
"The reason that they were granted such an opportunity was that the Empire wanted to show the world that it had this ability, so a few people were chosen at random and displayed to the world."
'Of course, this was a way to raise the prestige of the Arcane Emperor and solidify his control over the Empire, but that is not something that he should know for now,' secretly thought Harry.
"So, that's how it is? But, couldn't I still get plenty of Arcane Points as a Battle Mage?"
Harry sighed deeply, "The sad truth is Battle Mages are considered thugs by most Scholar Mages because we only learn how to use magic and never contributed to its creation and innovation.
"And with the Arcane Emperor greatly encouraging innovation and deep study of magic, Scholar Mages have a higher status than Battle Mages, and it is easier for them to acquire Arcane Points for their research, development, or discovery. The only way for a Battle Mage to quickly gather Arcane Point is to invent new spells, but as I said, all of us are trained to use magic and skills to the highest level, but not innovate."

"How is that fair?" said Albus. "The majority of Battle Mages will easily defeat a Scholar Mage in a magic duel."
Harry looked at his son thinking about how young and ignorant he was. Although his statement may be true for some low-level Scholar Mages, the truly powerful ones are really scary.
Because of how deep their understanding of magic is, these Scholar Mages are the real powerhouse of the Empire. Furthermore, these Scholar Mages will also study Dueling Techniques of Battle Mages to improve their strength.
Patting his son in the head, Harry said: "There is no need to worry about anything else, just focus on your study so that you can graduate with the utmost honor. Then, with your grandmother's influence, you can choose any of the Towers to intern with. Hopefully, one day, you will also become a Tower Master."
After setting his son in, Harry left with his wife.
"I don't think we should have placed so much pressure on him," said Ginny.
"I know, but we do not have much of a choice." After saying that, Harry started thinking about a conversation he had with his mother not too long ago.
--Scene Break--
Harry was having diner with his mother Lily, who has not aged a single bit in the past 35 years.
"Is there something wrong? You looked more weary than usual?" asked Harry.
"My recent experiment failed. Despite all my effort, no one besides me has ever managed to wield Love Magic in the past few decades."
"Is the Empire going to reduce your fundings?" asked Harry.
"Not really. As matter of fact, as long I'm the only one capable of wielding that magic, I am invaluable to the Arcane Emperor."
"So, why are you in such a rush to have another person wield love magic?" asked Harry with a frown.

Lily paused for a moment, took her glass of wine, and drank a sip. "I guess there is no point in hiding this from you now. I strongly believe that the Arcane Emperor is suppressing the number of Arcane Points that I can receive for my accomplishments. Recently, he had been using the fact that no one else could use Love Magic to dismiss or diminish my results."
"Why would he do that? From what I know, he is usually very generous--especially to the Tower Masters."
Lily swirled the wine in her glass, then she answered: "If I were to guess, it should have something to do with Severus."
"Uncle Snape? What does he have to do with anything?"
However, Lily did not respond this time. Harry thought quickly before saying:
"Are you saying that the Arcane Emperor is intentionally delaying you to revive my father to provide uncle Snape a chance to get with you?"
Although this sounds absurd, Harry knew of Snape's love for his mother. In the past decades, he has been very present in their lives, spending a great deal of time with them.
"Why would he do that?" asked Harry, bewildered.
"Snape is one of the most powerful and influential Tower Master of the Empire. He has made so many accomplishments in the Potion Field over the past decades, adding to the fact that he is one of the earlier supporters of the Arcane Emperor, it's normal for him to be favored."
"Did you talk to him?"
"I did confront him, and he admitted himself," reply before taking another big sip of her wine.
"So, what are you going to do?" asked Harry. As an adult, he can look at things differently. He could tell that over the years, his mother had developed some form of affection for Snape. However, because of him and her devotion as a wife, she wanted to reunite their family.
---Scene break--
Back to the present, Harry regained his bearing as he walked out of the dormitory. However, he noticed that his other son, James was unusually quiet.
"James, is there something wrong?"
"No, I'm just wondering whether I can be admitted to the Bones Advance School of Magic and Witchcraft."
The family suddenly became quiet, until Lisa Potter said: "With your grades and talent, keep dreaming."
Ginny quickly reprimanded her daughter, then said to his son: "Don't listen to your sister. Grades and magical talent are not the only factors that determine whether you get in. Look at your uncle Ron, he only got onto the Military Strategy Division because of his talent for Wizard Chest. Later on, he was discovered to have the talent to be a Wizard Knight.
"After you graduate from Hogwarts, we will pay for a Potential Test for you to see whether you have any hidden talent that can get you into the school. And if all else fails, your grandmother can still use her connection to get you in."
James nodded his head, but he was not happy. He knew how people who got into this school through connection are treated.
Harry patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are many other Magic Universities you can still attend. Just because you do not get into this one does not mean you cannot be successful in life."

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Vemödalen: From The Other Side
War is coming - And when it comes - And where it comes - And whence it comes - The living shall envy the dead One to carry their sword in the name of their goddess and lady, to protect their land and people against the threat of the wicked. They know their path to be the righteous one. One to roam the land, hunting for all apparitions, and be scorned by man and beast alike. They know their path to be an arduous one. One to wander the realm in search of power, to protect themselves and what they believe in. They know their path to be the only one. Writers note: The first chapter will set the standard in terms of mood for the remainder of the story. It also comes to no surprise to me that half the people who read the first part stop reading any further. It has quite a bit of the good ‘ol ‘ultra-violence’ mixed with a great deal of realism. As much as I could fit into it from my own knowledge and experience in the elite forces. The first few chapters will be slow, after, but starting from ‘Restless Destroyer’ the remainder of the world will start to open up, and when we hit ‘Adronitis’ the prologue is largely finished. The novel is well thought out and filled with hidden lore, culture, history. So even if my word choice appears random – it’s not. There is a reason why these chapters take as long as they do. Vermodalen is fantasy adventure, with magic and heroics in an as realistic setting as I could fit. Things are rarely what they seem, and the ugly nature of people bleed through the letters at the turn of every page. I hope you can give this story a fair chance, even if it isn’t immediately to your taste. Lastly, english isn't my first language. It isn't my second one either. So, if you find errors in grammer and spelling, wordplay and sentance building, do let me know, and you will be rewarded by a surge of dopamine that will be released inside your brain for helping someone whom you haven't even seen or heard.
