《The undead who yearned for life》35-Neutral magic
Advertisement
With my work done, I exited from my dimension with no idea on how to contact the God, should I make another temple for him? And even then, does he want a temple? He did not hit me as someone who wants to be worshipped, until he has how to play and enough undeads, he won't bother.
-From your thoughts I presume you have already finished, do I need to come in your dimension for the upgrade or you have collected enough mana in the skill?-.
From behind me a child appeared without a sound if not for those words. I should have know that he would appear like this, he's the kind of person who likes to do entrances when one less aspect it and without being noticed if not when he wants to reveal himself... I can understand why assassins and thieves worship him.
"Yes, I've completed it, and though I do have enough mana stored in the skill, I hope for you to agree to come with me in my dimension, it's not that easy for me to store that much mana, at least for now".
Well, I have been storing the excess mana from my regeneration in there, whatever is left from sustaining my others skills is going in there, though when I fight I cut the supply to the House summon skill in order to replenish my mana at the maximum available speed.
-I don't mind, I'm actually quite curious about it, though I gave you the skill, how the dimension develop is up to you, what there is in there depends on what you think is important, while the total space is determined by your soul-.
Ah, so that's the case, doesn't this mean that in the beginning I thought that I didn't need time? Or because I thought that I needed more time, in my dimension time stopped? If so, then why I can govern the mana in there to the degree of making a mini-sun?
-Not bad, you're on the right track, you just need to think a step further, and no, I'm not going to give you a hint for such elementary problem, it's more rewarding if you discover it yourself-.
It's such a simple problem that he deems it an elementary problem? Or is it... literally an elemental problem, a problem of the elements. When the skill was created, it took as its basis what I think is important in a world... so it added all the elements from my old world and also the ones I hoped existed (and actually exist) in this world, merging them.

That way my dimension came to be, but actually I only ever tried to manipulate elements for which I do have an affinity, I never tried to manipulate air, light and water; even for the other elements, I only manipulated them in my dimension after gaining the respective affinity.
Doesn't this mean that once I gain all the basic affinities, then I can actually change this place as much as I want? Even creating more elements is possible, something like creating the ultimate metal and calling it Jackantium is possible.
Tremble before a weapon made out of Jackanium, the best metal of this world.
As you realized the potential of your skill and how to upgrade it, the skill House summon changed name in Personal world; when you'll reach the requirement, the skill will evolve
Congratulations, because of your understanding, you gained +5 intelligence and +5 wisdom
"Good, thanks for that, I've let you wait long enough, should we go to the my dimension? Ah, now I should call it my world?" I said while summoning the .
-No problem, it's not like time affects us Gods that much, if one of us goes to sleep, ten thousand years can pass without problems-.
After entering in my world, I explained to the God what I upgraded in the castle, and I must say, when he found out about my idea of cameras and the , he was quite elated... enough to call some undeads to try it out; the result was disappointing, no undeads made it past a quarter of the track, but they were mindless undead, so it's natural.
After the show he was going to return, but I blocked him, saying: "What about granting me both the mean to use the neutral magic and the ? In exchange I'll give you some videogames that I will give to the Goddess in advance, that way you'll be able to train and beat her, not the other way around".
As I said it, I saw the God freeze, then he turned and looked at me; I swear that he looked like someone that needs to slaughter a city in order to release the rage: -How do you know?-.
Well, I'm already dancing, let's do it to the end: "the Goddess said that you played with her, but that you're too weak to take her on; because she had the advantage this time around, I thought that I should offer you that advantage this time, what do you think?".

The God retracted his aura, while still looking at me said: -I know you want to take advantage of me, but the way you're doing is one of my aspects, and for that it pleases me... though normally I'm the one that schemes, it's the first time for me experiencing the other side-.
Just as he said that, he turned, resuming talking: -but if there is something worse than being tricked by a scheme, that is losing against my little sister; if it wasn't for my self control, I would have destroyed that thing called console-.
He talks as if he didn't destroy half the theme park, but it's not something it really matters, the loli Goddess probably recreated it in a flash: "so we have a deal?".
-Yes, tell me what you want-.
"I want the affinity and a reasonable amount of monster cores, I used most of them as of lately; I also want you to remember this: if you ever need it, I have a method to ensure your victory in most games, should you need it, my reward should be two , one from you and one from the Goddess".
-Granted, but why do I feel that you're tricking me in order to obtain two ? Those new skills of yours are quite annoying, I can't read your thoughts anymore. Now give me the video games. Ah, take it as me being gentle, I added a bonus to your reward-.
So he can't read my thoughts anymore? Then why do I still feel like an open book? I also tried my best to not think too much about my schemes, but I feel as if he knew about them all along.
Whatever, it doesn't affects me, I obtained what I wanted, I gave him the games and he disappeared in a cloud of darkness; showy as always.
The God of the Underworld granted your wish, from now on you can use the , you also received a book containing the explanation of how to use neutral magic written by the God himself.
The book was stored together with the monster cores you requested in the warehouse.
As a kindness, the God granted you the skills Dark magic control and Space magic control
Well, not that I wouldn't get those two skill eventually, but this sure saves me time, now I need to look at that book.
I spent half a day in my world to read through the book. The result? I found out the God is an idiot.
The neutral magic is also called written magic; the book is basically a dictionary for a magic language the God created and some examples of how to create the magic.
This is basically what in novels is called enchanting magic. The symbols are the letters and how they're arranged represent the grammar; in the book there is a description on how the grammar should be used, and untill here I have no problems; the problem starts when in the examples the grammar and the letters become imperfect.
After the basics, there is not even one example that correctly follows the rules given before; this is not to say that the examples don't work, it's just that in comparison with the correct form, you need ten, twenty or even thirty times more mana than necessary for half the work.
And even that is nothing when you understand that even the best example is nothing more than trash, just after half of a day, I'm able to come up with new and better enchantments than the ones in the book. This branch of magic has endless possibilities, but because a God can't even follow his own rules, it's probably being forgotten.
Should I compile a new book to give to the God? Will he grant me a favour? I should try it when I have time, for now I should write a book on how to hack the video games, I know for sure that the loli Goddess is unbeatable, so the God will come to visit me as soon as I give the new games to the Earth Goddess.
For being able to outwit the God of trickery, you gain +10 intelligence and +10 wisdom. Hopefully he'll never know.

8 162Earth Ravaged: The Alliance Chronicles Book 1
Originally published on Amazon in 2013, now published here as a serial for the free enjoyment of all. Book 3 to come later this year. This one could also stand a complete re-write with the knowledge and skill I've developed in the interim, and I may do so once I have pushed out chapters for the third book in the series. In the not too distant future, a group of seven people will set out on a mission of exploration to a nearby star system. Their destination is the Tau Ceti system, one of ten planned destinations as part of a new privately-funded space programme, involving many countries across the Earth. However, old problems still exist, and while they make their successful launch, they have no idea what begins to take place at home, what they will face on their journey, and who decides to pay Earth a visit while they are gone.
