《Fortuna Sands》EXCERPT 1-7: RIGHT COMBINATION
Advertisement
Any player can achieve minor and major skills, but what truly distinguishes both is the more than just the type of cards that can be drawn, but also the ability to combine them. Combinations of minor skills can only be combined if both hands are successful, but when a major skill combines a skill of equal lesser value it becomes a successful combination. With the right levels and compatibility, someone can successfully draw three, two, three or even five skills at once to create feats of amazing ability never thought before.
Some minor skills are compatible with one another such as heaters and coolers, which both involve fighting but in different styles. Major skills however, are limited by this restraint and could possibly combine all 7 skills together as one to create a grand display. The only drawback is that since skills are combined more successfully, full costs of KP, LP or G$ are wholly applied. That is why many plays find it necessary and even costly to cooperate with one another in a team display.
A team or group of players creates a unique opportunity to not only share resources and costs of performing major feats of ability, but to also create unexpected outcomes that many players could unlike achieve on their own accord. To do this, each player must have acquired at least the first level of cooperation, which can automatically be acquired by two people with major skill sets, and perform one successful act. Once a team forms the group can combine all their available skills with one another regardless if they themselves hold the skill. For example, if no does not hold the magician’s skill to re-shuffle another does, the other player may use his skill on the first player, but will lose his chance to do so during his turn. Incidentally if both have the same skill, only one may use this skill leaving the other unable to do so.

For this reason, team players require not only synergy and compatibility, but also the will to know when to play and how to play things at the right moment. When one leads a party there are two ways to control the hand of fate, either as one person calling the shots or a group voting on actions together. Many choose to select the former, for as inert time can slow things down, the ability of confrontation can often delay the outcome for hours or even days without realizing it. Fortuna Sands monitors caution players to be careful on the player you wish to team up with if you don’t want to spend too much time arguing over the right move.

Anti-Martial Academy: PRiSMA Saga (LN)
{A crossover based on a Visual Novel still in the works called ‘PRiSMA’, and heavily inspired by the Light Novel called ‘Anti-Magic Academy’. Thus, the plot and events are reminiscent of the latter.} The denizens of the underworld, Anima and long forgotten Martial Artists of the Murim, both allied with each other to fight humanity. Their attacks almost caused the fledgling Magi to become extinct. When heroes appeared to fight off the invading forces, the ‘First World Ender War’ finally came to a conclusion. In the stalemate that followed, the new Magi went through a technological revolution. In the current era of peace, the Anti-Martial Academy was made to fight off those Martial Artists infiltrating the Earthland Domain. In the present, the ‘Red Queen’ was demoted back into the Academy. Forced to join the ‘Support Squad’, a team of outcasts who can’t fight even to save their lives, the one most uncomfortable became Fritz Lazrik, the leader that seemed too much like a pushover. Wielding a MagiPen in hand, he has the small hope of being able to beat the ‘monster’ joining them. The start of their legend begins...————I have posted this on other sites.

The book of forever
An experimental diary of sorts recounting my life and experiences, written as a slightly whimsical scifi story about setting off from the past to unknown lands, rebuilding from nothing and finding myself again. The first section of the book contains matched chapters, a chapter for a interlude, both happening at the same time roughly The second section of the book contains more one off stories as we follow one of the travelers explore their heart as well as a unknown land, growing in the process. All of the text here was written in 10 syllable chunks, this reads like a epic of sorts, just with more philosophical focus and POV jumps. Hope you enjoy! >Updates may be sporadic as I only write when I have something about myself I want to share The chapters can all be read individually, although there may be some crossovers between them they work as single poems. You start at whatever chapter you want since these are a collection of roughly connected poems (although you'll notice tie ins and references to eachother)

The times and struggle of a orc cook in the Demon Lord's army. (On Hiatus due to reasons seen in summary)
Title needed a change. So a full honest update to you all who are reading and following this story. I'm putting this story on a Hiatus not only because of I'm trying to improve my spelling and grammer (which is slow going) but also due to other reasons listed down below. 1) The story is getting a full re-write as these last months have given me time to see what I have already writen and what else I have planned is not gonna work no matter how much I've tried with what I call 'test chapters' to see how what works or not. 2) I don't really have the time to write, mainly thanks to life deciding to throw a bunch of stuff and leaving me exhausted both mentally and physically. And what little free time I have is barely enough for me to do anything that other than sleep or play a game for maybe 15 min. 3) I have a job and bills to pay. Some of which are overdue. It also dose not help that thanks to the new inflations in prices, I've been struggling to get things in order. So now you all know. Once things have calmed down and gotten somewhat in order again, I'll be posting the new first chapter as soon as I can along with a new summary for the story. Until then, I hope you all have a nice day and enjoy all the other stories you can find around this wonderful site.
