Able drake-
Then I started talking "Hemdal can you bring your blood beast?" Hemdal said "sure" and walked away and returned with a 2m long, 1m high and 1m in width. Bedrock kamodo
I then said "How are you planing to grow your kamodo?" Then Hemdal said "Tank and versitile builder" I then told him "I reccomend changing it from tank to brawler, because it goes well with the kamodo's instincts increasing skill exp gain" He nodded, then I continued "Also if you want more reward per kill in the mandatory dungeon run, turn of automatic looting and gain the skinning skill after a couple weeks you'll gain higher quality hides from kills that give more points" Then Hem dal asked "How big is the orginazation? And how will you currently help me?" Then I replied truthfully "There're currently three members me, Osgar and you. How the orginazation will help you currently is like an advisor. If you want help planning something at the next meetup just ask me it doesn't really matter what it is" Then Hemdal said something uncaracteristic of him "Why aren't you saying your plans! I know you have your plans to conquer!"
Hemdal Drake-
My name is Hemdal drake 2 years ago I came back 47 years into the past after I died, before I regressed I got chased out of the house and became a criminal. I slowly and surely rose in power within the underworld, I was the leader of a large gang that had great influence but not nearly as much as the widely accepted ruler of the underworld Able Drake, also known as the patriach of the drake house, ruler of the world or the king slayer. When I died he was almost ready to take the thrown from that idiotic emperor that hadn't noticed Able's plots ,because he was having fun with a common born woman! When I found out that I was back inside the drake house, I instantly resolved myself to join that rulers organization as one of the founders. But I did not account for the fact that Able was already recruiting for his organization, when we started talking about some stuff about the organization he never mentioned that he was going to usurp the thrown

After I said my mind he said "I just don't trust you with them. If you want to learn them you need to swear an oath" I then said "I'll do that!" To me an oath like this wasn't risky at all, he was an investment that was guaranteed to give hefty returns. He then said "Ok then swear that you'll follow the contract and if you dont you'll die" I quickly read through it the basic secresy and betrayel were there, but with that its allowed if he says so. A good clause to make double agents, Everything seemed fine to me so I said "I swear on my life that I will follow the clauses on this contract"
Then Able said "Good but its best that you leave right now, I don't want people to be suspicious. The next meetup is inside the dungeon of the mandatory dungeon run" I then said "Ok" I then walked off
Able drake-
I thought 'now that the recruit is good and unable to betray me, Its time to look at the options' I then said "Options" then a screen popped up
Options: - Precentile exp guage *Off* *Toggle*
- Auto looting *On* *Toggle*
- *Unravel*
I toggled both of them, when Osgar came back I asked him to also get a skinning knife in my next spatial ring. He said he'll try to get it
For a few hours I trained the new idea of infusing mana into my throwing knife, With the knife I hid away when the adults took away the spatial rings and mana controller and throwing got a level
After that I went to sleep but right before I went to sleep I thought 'I hope Throwing will become a variant skill' A variant skill is a skill that is more specialized version of a skill, when you have a chance to gain a variant skill. You get to choose which skill you want. Overall variant skills are more powerfull and usefull because its only gained when you really focus on a the path that the variant skill is based off of

The next day-
I woke up remembering the variant skill thing
After a couple minutes Osgar came into the room and said "its time for the dungeon run!" I said "Finally! Lets go!" I started I called Erebus and then started running to the gate, when I arrived I had to wait on Osgar. When he came he had a bronze rank spatial ring, he gave it to me and I did the same set up as last time. This is why I like the minimalistic clothes beter. Then we entered a Caraige, after a couple minutes we arrived at the dungeon. I quickly entered after making sure I had everything nessasary. Osgar didn't come with me
After we entered the dungeon I saw a well lit hall, but it still had a good amount of darkness. It was also badly built, but that was good for me. When I looked around I saw white squirrels. I calmly took out my sword and infused it with mana and sliced the wall, It went through the wall easily and the screen de le screens poped up
You have gained the arcane swordmanship B skill.
Arcane swordmanship B
-Teaches arcane swordmanship
When I saw that I was overjoyyed I finnaly gained a mana using skill, It was even a variant skill of the "Swordmanship" skill. It was even a very rare type of variant that had a higher rank than the original, hopefully 'I'll get a way to put an element into my mana' I thought, well if I did get a way to make elemental mana. I would abuse it to high heaven, I then quickly killed a squirrel
-you have killed a lvl 1 sparklight dintyle
- gained 1 essence
- Mana controller has leveled up
I then took out my skining knife and did the same I did with my sword and infused it with refined mana and skining the dintyle, It went bad but at least the hide will still give something but I still threw it away because it wasted my spatial ring's space then I looked at the screen that had popped up
You have learned Arcane skining
Arcane skining
- Teaches arcane skining
Another variant skill, weren't these supposed to be hard to get? Well that didn't matter, I choose to train my arcane swordmanship
When I attacked a dintyle It felt weird, as if I knew that these moves would be insufficient without 'arcana' inside the sword. But wat was 'arcana'? I let what I felt what I should guide my mana and moves, but I kept a vigilant eye for mistakes made. after looking I found out what 'arcana' is its refinned mana, after I killed the dintyle mana controller levelup after that I started walking further inside the dungeon

Immovable Mage
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in the pillars of mana foundation awes everyone. All the bigger is the eventual disappointment when Terry turns out to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis? Major aspect impairment. No cure. Ever. Faced with expulsion, Terry is blessed with the unexpected kindness of others. Terry loses his spot in the Academy but in exchange, he finds a home with a family. Terry starts to train as a pure mana cultivator but never stops looking for his own path as a mage – day after day, season after season, always searching for compatible spellwork… Until finally, Terry’s perseverance earns him a single spell – the only spell he will ever be able to cast. Disclaimers: Chapter Frequency: I aim for one chapter a week. Chapter Length: I try to keep chapters between 3000 and 6000 words. Binge Preference: I plan for 30 chapters per arc. If you want to binge a complete arc, then that is the number to wait for. I will also add a line to chapters indicating the beginning and end of an arc. Advanced Access: I have created a patreon page with early access to four chapters for patrons. What to Expect: Progression fantasy with a western fantasy setting and with eastern fantasy elements. A main character that is forced to explore a very narrow path of magic due to a permanent condition. A main character that is a part of a larger cast. A main character that is growing but won't become the strongest around anytime soon. A story following a single main character but with introduction or theme setting scenes without the main character. What Not to Expect: Edgy grimdark characters – I will never write a sexual violence scene or gory descriptions of torture. I hate reading it and I would hate writing it even more. Romance – romantic relationships will never be the focus of the story and only appear in the background. The main character is preoccupied with other stuff. Other forms of relationships (family, friends, companions) play a bigger role. Cover: The cover art was commisioned from redditor Linh-Nguyen87. The font is alita brush by Inovatype Typefoundry. Overview: 001–030 Arc 1, Cultivating Perseverance: complete. 031–060 Arc 2, Undying Defiance: complete. 061–090 Arc 3, Unyielding Fury: scheduled for publishing. 091–120 Arc 4, Savage Hope: scheduled for publishing. 121–150 Arc 5, Self-Made Fate: first draft in progress. 151–180 Arc 6, Heretic Style: sketching in progress. Further Arcs are still in the sketching and idea collection phase.
