"Health align with the axis. Magic flow along the ordinates, Life! Live! Embrace!" a shimmering white light coordinate themselves within the magical circle on the floor. Vin could observed the awkward movement of the still-stiff golem in the center of the ritual.
Last night, he have a long conversation with Vriv and Dev about nature of Mana, Vin offered them chance to become a humanoid golem but retaining their original memory. Of course Vriv and Dev were excited, and the news spreading like wildfire to other Mana. Lots of them were literally hogging him demanding to be included.
Vin agreed to a certain condition.
Because the retained memory, the golem body were unstable and a ritual were needed to stabilize the golem body. Vin used the store that he won from the tournament (which story for another time) as the base of the ritual. The ritual were needed to be made permanent by permanency spell. Which require lots of mana. However it no longer concern, since there were lots of volunteer.
Next, he need to create a golem body as a base, because of course no single mana could possibly move the golem body around, they agree to form 8-stack mind hive, personality meld, that would change the head personality every week or so.
Secondly, for expressing their gratitude, the mana agreed to work for Vin for certain amount of times.
And coincidentally, Vin just were in need for employee in his brand new alchemical store, Vival Pharma. With only 4 times workday a week, the mana agreed it's were a win-win situation. And since mana were lived since the beginning of time and most often used by magician and alchemist alike. Vin literally have a big book of everything in Alchemy. All the recipe that needed mana were known by.. well... the mana.
And they have no qualm to tell Vin all about it.
Which is perhaps made Vin the most successful alchemist in the whole royal road.
And perhaps the richest, well, at least, soon-to-be richest.

Quebracho: The Legend of Two Heroes
After a violent and tough battle, you recover in an infirmary with your fellow soldiers, or in a more relatable scenario, visit your friend's house after a hard day of studying. You’d expect that both of them would play out normally for the most part, right? Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal. As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it. Side-Note: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me. New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits. This story is also available on ScribbleHub.

System Supervillain
I was there when it happened. When the walls of reality came crashing down upon us. When everything changed. I was there. I watched it happen. There wasn’t anything I could do, of course. When two veritable demigods are fighting to the death, getting caught in between is a great way to end up very dead. Or worse. That’s when it happened. Raw time crashed with pure paradox, and the universe itself screamed in torment. Night turned to day turned to yesterday and tomorrow and blue and yellow and whale and petunia, and then it snapped back, all at once, with a thunderous roar that was not heard but felt. And then I saw the blue box for the first time. ------------ A System Apocalypse event happens in a world of superheroes, like you would see in the comic books. What happens when the world changes, and heroes and villains are now bound by a System that limits their powers? What will change, and what will remain the same? This story will incorporate Champions/HERO System 5th Edition rules. There will be dice rolls determining the action, and blue boxes with lots of crunchy numbers. If you're not down for that, there are plenty of other stories on this site that you'll like. But if that sounds fun to you, then welcome aboard, and I invite you to see what happens when someone becomes a System Supervillain.
