《Potestera- Race for Power》Ch 19 Mapping out the Journey
Advertisement
Well let's see here for now let's check out what i came to check out. I immediately confirm on the “World Map “ function.
[Loading updated World Map...]
After a while on the cover of the paper appeared the image of a very detailed map. It was the map of Potestera!
For how small the paper was the map was actually quite detailed.
It showed terrain,borders, and even the size of the oceans. I had seen maps of Potestera before in school but none were as good as the one I had in my hands right now.
When I started scanning it with greater detail I could see the names of the 6 major Superpower Countries the map bordered out.
The six were The Dominion of Enomiles, State of Scienimo, Mightos Empire, The Republic of Volunterra, The United Kingdom of Manafort, and The Withering Empire. All six of these countries abided by their own “Ideal of Power”, through which they seeked their path towards the summit.
Immediately I focused on Volunterra, remembering that the merchant told me this paper also contained a detailed map of Volunterra, I touched the area of the map in which it lay. Immediately some options appeared.
[Zoom in on map of Potestera]
[Show detailed map of Volunterra]
I immediately click the second one, and soon after the image of the map of Potestera was replaced by the image of the Map of Volunterra.
This paper was on another level, this is way better than a normal map, the flexibility and quality is worlds apart. Just one paper but I have access to two super detailed maps, is this the power of Magic or Technology?
Then a new message appeared on the front of the paper.
[Accessing Dual Energy System Networks....configuring location and positioning... action successful, location of owner will be constantly shown on the map through access with nearby compatible systems.]

It can show me where I am on the map!
This thing is gonna make me cry of happiness. These means my chances of getting lost have been reduced to almost zero!
That’s incredible maybe my fortune has made a turn for the better, never in dreams did ever think I could own such a useful and amazing item such as this. Even if i don't have that much power right now at least im we’ll prepared for my journey. Now let me see just how detailed this map is.
As I started looking through the map i discovered the surface of the paper allowed me to interact with the details and features of the map.
I could zoom in and out. I could highlight certain zones, and look at all the Towns, Villages, and City names. I could also identify terrain such as mountains, forests, grasslands etc.
What really got me excited was discovering the territory information feature. It seemed to not be static, constantly updating showing different symbols. It marked territories with different symbols or colors, depicting vital information. It showed whether the area was safe to travel green,risky yellow, or high in danger red.
It used a beast like symbol to show areas with high level beast density’s, a weird wind and lightning symbol to show natural disaster affected zones, and a sword and shield for Zones with high levels of conflict and combat.
Those were only a few of the details I managed to figure out. But it didn’t matter just this alone was huge for me. This means I can avoid potential danger zones or risky areas when I’m traveling, lowering the risk of encountering danger. Not only that it was constantly updating meaning I was up to date with the information allowing me to make my decisions on a case by case basis.

Man that merchant wasn’t lying this map definitely has to be up there among the best. How much better could a Seeier map be in comparison to this, I can't even imagine this already too much for me.
After I finished doing that, I focused on the names of the towns and villages until I finally found, where Beans Village was located. It was towards the west coast of Volunterra a couple miles inland south of the huge Battle Scar Bay.
It was quite a distance away from the Capital Will City, which was located near the center of the country. There was only one main road that lead directly to the Capital from our Village, but some travel could be done through some side trails to shorten the distance.
Although Volunterra was big and prosperous its Government wasn't very efficient there was not much progress on the country's infrastructure except for important main roads and military transport roads.
The people didn’t mind though, we sorta liked it this way. It left room for exploration and adventuring of the land, and the Government seemed to agree.
Many thought the Government intentionally left much of Volunterra wild, for the sole purpose of nurturing future Rankers.
Regardless of the reasons it still made traveling through the country a pain in the but. Many merchants and business companies constantly complained to the Government about this. It was one of the major issues Volunterras Government constantly had to address, along with safety and national security.
I traced out the path I need to take in order to get to Will City. As soon as I did that, another message popped out.
[ Do you wish to set Will City as your destination?]
[yes/no]
I confirmed it as my destination, immediately another message popped out.
[Calculating fastest and safest route to take to Will City... Route has been confirmed, it will now be visible through the map and will constantly update]
This thing is pure gold. I'm not even sure gold could represent its value. It's more like a Platinum priced item. I'm starting to think that people might want to take this away from me if they find out what it can do.
Ok enough I'll worry about it later, and check out the rest of the options when the opportunity comes, now i have to finish getting ready for the journey.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
