《Cleric or Necromancy?》volume 1 chapter 9

“Soft Cotton is...”
“Your?”
Shit if she knows I already have a Dark minion then what am I going to do? It'll look like I'm a heartless bastard!
“Soft Cotton is a guy”
Her face brightens up right away
“Oh that's good”
“What's good?”
She gives me a face that says 'keep asking and you'll see what hell is like'
“Never mind Lola”
“SO your a healing mage with the ability to use dark magic?”
“And you can use all four elements plus electricity”
“yup 'Yawn' I should really sleep my stamina is already out”
She leans back on a pillow and then falls asleep. Ivo is also sleeping off to the side. My mother and Mrs. Norman who had been busy talking pick up Lola and Ivo and bring them away I sit down and lean back against a chair. My brain was busier then it had been since the start of my new life. Julie's new name was Lola, she is Immortal and seems to be possessive of me. But I think its more of short term thing. Once she was time to think about it she will realize that marrying me will only hurt her. *sigh so much to think about and all of it depressing. I see my Mother Come back and she picks me up while talking to me in a dumbed down way.
“Lola and Ivo need to sleep for now. Later today you can meet them again okay Gilbert?”
“Yes, mother”
“Okay let go home!”
“Can me go to brother's serfdom?” (messing the words up on purpose to avoid suspicion.)
“Honey its ser-mon not Serf-dom”
“Sermon?”
“Yup, who is my little genius? Gilbert is! Gilbert is!”
Man that is suffocating. We get home and the one is home upon seeing me my mother asks him.

“Can you take Gilbert he wants to listen to one of your sermons”
She then mumbles
“Gods knows why...”
“What was that mom?”
“Nothing dear here is Gilbert.”
I'm handed over to my brother. Man I feel like a sack of meat when people give me to each other. I hate being picked up.
Ding* you have levelled up Axe to Grind. Now level 2
We then arrive at my Brother's room and he again sets me down on his bed. He cuts his arm.
“The training is to improve your skill of healing wounds you can start now.”
I use healing light skill 5 times and by the time I use it his wound has healed. The damage down to me is healed by the time I get to the next healing. I then hear that familiar ding but ignore it. My brother cuts himself again and I use it 4 more times until I'm out of mana. While I'm not physically tired my brain feels sluggish and I'm cranky. My brother after seeing me use it nine times has an impressed look on his face.
“So my little brother was over 900 mana eh?”
“Nope only 850 some of it recovered between the intervals of healing you.”
“Wow and modest too. Wait what how can you tell what your status is without looking at a status card?”
Shit. Shit. Shit. Ummmm quick think think think.
“I'm a Divine Soul what did you expect?”
That was a close one...
“Ohh so cool!”
He then starts furiously writing in his book about it. Making notes on the sides of the pages.
“Well anyways you should give me a sermon or else mom may get suspicions about what were actually doing.”
“Okay, your right we got to hide this!”

He then starts one of his sermons while I listen. He seems really into it, more then usually must be because he knows now that I understand what he is saying. While he rambles on I check the update I got from practising.

SlavesSoft CottonGilbert's most Trusted and Helpful Slave
Well that explains why she was wondering who Soft Cotton was... by why was she okay when I said Soft was a guy? Also why is it labelled as Slaves?
NamingWould you like to Rename the Slave category? If so what? Here are some suggestions.
Thralls
Minions
Lackeys
Servants
Gofers
Peon
Grubs
Grunts
Do you have any other suggestions as to the name?
These all seem kind of degrading... I'll go with Lackeys for now. Seems the least offensive and will most likely be accepted by Lola. After this I slowly re-looked through my stats. I then paid attention to the Important part of my brothers sermon and then the sermon ended.
“So how did I do Gilbert?”
“You seemed rushed. Like you were trying to keep my attention. Slow down next time so that I can hear you more clearly. Also you should practise in a mirror once or twice you make weird faces when you do a sermon.”
“Thanks Gilbert! The sermon testing is coming up in three weeks so I really want to be ready!”
“Brother?”
“Yes?”
“Can you teach me how to read?”
“Sure I can do that! We can start tomorrow when I find you an easy book to read!”
“Good. Also how many days are in a year?”
“400 I thought you knew that, since Divine Souls are Reincarnates of this world...”
“Well you see in my previous life I was born into a uncivilized back water and only lived in civilization near the end of my life...”
Just then we here mom yelling from the kitchen
“Marcus can you bring Gilbert over here? Its time for us to head out!”
“Sure mom be their in a minute!”
My brother then cleans my hand of blood and then brings me out to the kitchen to my mother.
“Ready to go dear?”

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
