How can I talk to her!? How can I get her attention!? Rin, any ideas!?
Wait for your mana to return. Or Zea can pour mana through you.
It depends on her.
Zea: Wait, a second! If he's going to remain sleep, I can steal a kiss, without his knowing. But he's awake but can't open his eyes or speak then he will know. What should I do, Zelexena?
Nope, Zea just wants a kiss.
Zea: If you're awake, but your body is in this state of deep sleep. I have to wake your body up with my mana. But how should I do it?
There may be hope for you, Sora.
Zea: I got it, I can make a small cut on your face! Then all I, have to do is, give him a small drop of my blood. (Snip! A small knife from the kitchen made a horizontal cut on my right cheek on my face, the wound was shallow)
I wonder what she's going to do to me. Will, she is a yandere that will love me no matter what! Or, will she torture me!?
I hope she's torture you! So, I can have a good laugh!
We just had a moment!!!
The key word "had"!
Zea: I can't cut myself with this knife! Zelexena, don't do what I do, okay? Do what I say. I guess I'll put some mana through my tongue. ( Zea, proceeds to stick out her tongue and lick the cut on my face)
Okay, that just happened! I swear life can be Japanese anime.
Zea: All done! You should be up in a few seconds!
My vision came back to me. I can see Zea's short silver hair. She has a smile on her face, indicating that she's happy to see me awake. She puts Zelexena, onto my chest. She started to turn red because of her excitement.

Zea: How was your deep sleep?
Sora: It was bizarre. But I'm glad to see Vince and my father. The more I try to picture my father's face it gets all hazy.
Zea: That's interesting, I guess it's a side effect. I don't really use this spell, on humans. So, I can't give you, a straight answer.
Sora: We can talk about that later. Right now, we can spend some with Zelexena.
Zea: I guess it's already working.
Sora: What's working?
Zea: Don't worry about it. Can you sit up?
Sora: Speaking of that! My lower back is killing me. I can't get up!
Zea: I order you to stand right now! (Zea's eyes changed color when she told me to stand)
Sora: My body, I can't control it!
Zea: Choas Magic: Temporary Release
Sora: How did Zelexena get right there?
Zea: You weren't paying attention, Blue. Oh, Zelexena, you haven't been crying ever since you been with your, papa.
Sora: She cries a lot?
Zea: I guess she got that from you, Blue! (Laughter)
Sora: I guess it's time for those parenthood classes into use!
Zea: Sophia's mother taught you how to care for a baby. Your past is unique. (Borborygmus! Zea's stomach started growling indicating that she's hungry)
Sora: I guess, you're hungry! (Playful Laugh!)
Zea: I don't need to eat. Just worry about Zelexena!
Sora: If someone is hungry then I'll feed them. What kind of food do you eat? What kind of ingredients do you have in your kitchen?
Zea: Nothing.
Sora: How do you eat? Wait a minute how does Zelexena eat!?
Zea: Zelexena eats nothing, just like me.
Sora: You know a baby has to eat, right? So, they can grow properly.
Zea: Remember, Zelexena is half human and Reaper. Reapers don't have to eat, our mana fuels us. Think of Reapers, as plants. The mana is our sun, all we need is water or milk.

Sora: Why did your stomach growl, then?
Zea: My mana right now, is kinda low right now.
Sora: Zelexena needs to eat!
Zea: We can test something out. My lullaby shall determine what she needs.
Sora: How?
Zea: If Zelexena mana appears to be black then her Reaper side of her is dominant. If Zelexena mana appears yellow, the human in her is dominant.
Sora: Do it then.
Zea: (♪♪♪) Flowers, gleam and glow, Let your power darkened
Make the clock go forward So you can age up. I need you to show who's traits do you share the most! Age up, my little Zelexena! (♪♪♪)
Sora: What's happening to her!? (Zelexena's body started to float in mid-air)
Zea: Don't worry about it, just watch. (Red and black mana, started to surround Zelexena's entire body)
Sora: The mana around her is red and black! What's going on!?
Zea: I don't know. This phenomenon is so intriguing! (Laughter! Zea has a giant smile on her face)
Sora: How are you excited right now!? What's happening to our daughter!?
Zea: Well, the lullaby I sang, should age her up.
Sora: What are you aging her up for!? Let her age normally!
Zea: Too late! It's complete! Zelexena, can you speak to me?
Zelexena: Papi, mama. (Zelexena very soft high pitch voice barely be heard)
Zea: Aww! She said her first words!!! (Stomping! Zea started up and down with excitement on her face)
Sora: Why did she say, Papi? That means daddy in Spanish. How many languages do you speak, Zea?
Zea: Let's just say that I can speak, whatever language you want me to speak. The Reaper race can speak an
Sora: For real!?
Zea: That was a joke! I only speak seven languages in the realm of light. English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Korean.
Sora: That doesn't explain anything?
Zea: Whatever language that you speak, she can speak it. Because of the blood coursing through her veins.
Sora: Since I'm her dad, she can speak whatever language, that I speak, is that correct?
Zea: Yes, any questions?
Sora: How is this possible?
Zea: You want this in magical terms or scientific terms?
Sora: Both, I need to know.
Zea: Let me start with the science. Since Zelexena blood has Reaper cells in her. She can do anything like any normal Reaper can do. Reapers can pass down knowledge through their kids without even teaching them because it's encoded in their DNA.
Sora: That almost makes sense. So, whatever language that the father speaks, it will be passed down. Is that correct?
Zea: The father must learn the languages before the child is conceived.
Sora: I think I get it.
Zea: Then I guess, I go to the magical way. Mana is life force, right?
Sora: Mana is everywhere. From the water to the ground and the air.
Zea: Good. Every person has mana. When a person has little life force. Then they cannot use magic. But people with a high life force then they can use magic.
Sora: People like me that have tons of mana means that I have a very, very, very long life ahead of me.
Zea: Correct. The realm of light has...

A Primeval Future
Follow the story of a modern caveman as he learns to survive, thrive, and shape his nascent civilization in a world yet untouched by man. Expect a focus on the nitty-gritty of primitive living, especially early on. I plan for this to eventually progressing to the settlement management and politics stage as people gravitate towards the one guy who looks like he knows what he's doing, but this will likely take some time. Despite the occasional system elements, skilling and levels will not be a part of this story. No shortcuts. There will be violence and there will be sexuality but there will be no sexual violence. I hate reading that crap and I hate writing it even more. This is my first serious foray into writing. I plan to put out at least 1 chapter a week, more when I can. Constructive criticism is very much welcomed as are ideas and suggestions! Cover image credit: "Mesolithic camp site" by Wessex Archaeology is licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.

MARY: The Dreadful
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] "You have to survive, Adam. You have to win." This is not a story starring Mary, because Mary is already dead. She bled out on her front doorstep following a sudden three-day absence. Seven years have passed, with her little brother—Adam—now standing at eighteen years of age. Following his sister's death, he lived the life of a delinquent, wandering the grimy streets of the city of Steeldale. All it amounted to was years of street fighting experience, no proper home and an uncertain future at a second-rate university. Unbeknowst to him, the day before university, he will be thrust from Steeldale into a brand new world. It is a world where a cherry red sky gazes down upon a fragmented continent, on which civilisations from other worlds have been dumped like refuse. The souls of man leak from their fingertips, coalescencing into superhuman powers and horrible fleshy monstrosities. Tribes of refugees clash against each other, attempting to carve out a place in this unrefined space. With no choice, Adam must traverse this dangerous new world, with Mary's shadow following him every step of the way. This is my entry to the April 2021 Writathon. Chapters will be posted as I write them.
