Volume 1 Chapter 5: Unusual Girl
I’m feeling a little bit scared right now… It feels like I could destroy/damage the world with just a simple action.
What would happen if I sneeze? Will it create an epidemic that could wipe out all life in Veran?
Me: “No good… I’m starting to feel depress…”
I shook my head when I noticed that my current train of thought was going towards somewhere dark. I decided to ignore my luck and continue inspecting my stats.
. . . . .
I spent a good amount of time reading and understanding all of my special abilities.
Calm mind is the ability to stabilize my way of thinking and emotions that would usually make me panic.
Childish nature is kind of odd, its description was "You have a childish nature" but it had two useful branch skills;
Weak Presence is the ability to make me unnoticeable while Concealment is the ability to change what my status shows.
Natural Talent is the ability to learn something without too much effort.
Self-Sacrifice is the ability to sacrifice something important to achieve my goals...
Special Abilities shows my actions/personality/attitude back on earth.
Childish Nature reflects my attitude when I play around. People wouldn't usually notice me as I like an invisible man. I would sometimes belittle myself to avoid being arrogant and over confident.

I'm always calm... that's what my friends say, but I usually hide my emotion with my expressionless face and be more ignorant of the situation, I tend to think more when I do this though.
I would usually learn much more quickly if the subject interests me, but it has its demerits though, as I'm having trouble with stuff I don't particularly have interest in.
I did sacrifice some stuff important to me... but I can't remember anything... I wonder why....
Those were all of my understanding...
I wish there was a book though, it's much better if there are guidelines.
. . . . .
I decided to stop over thinking for now as It was starting to get boring.
I began playing around with my affinity and try myself at magic. If you're in a different world with magic and you came from a world without magic, it would be impossible not be curious and interested!
I was able to form different stuff, intentionally or unintentionally!
Fire ball, Water ball, Earth Sphere, Wind Sphere, Holy lance, Unholy lance, etc. basically random stuff as it was fun!
I was able to acquire some nifty skills too!
System:You have acquired the following skills:
Fire Magic Manipulation
Water Magic Manipulation
Earth Magic Manipulation
Wind Magic Manipulation
Light Magic Manipulation
Dark Magic Manipulation
Conjuring
Using magic became a little bit easier after acquiring the new skills, it's quite convenient!
I continue to play around~
. . . . .
I continued playing with magic for what it felt like an hour had passed.
That girl “Feruniru” suddenly comes into the room while carrying different kinds of fruits and water.
Now that she’s standing quite far from me, I had a better look at her.
She looks like she’s in her teens, maybe 17 years old?
She has a long black hair that reaches all the way to her waist, her hair slightly blocks her beautiful face. A pair of mysterious blue eyes that is intently stares at me. Fair white skin coupled with a well shaped body, wearing a blue open jacket over a simple black dress with a white belt.
There’s something enthralling about her… but I can’t really say what though…
She slowly walks up to me and hands me some fruits and a cup of water.
Looking at her more closely, I noticed that her previous pale complexion is all but gone, her eyes seemed much brighter than yesterday’s soulless eyes.

Me: “..Uh …Thanks”
I rechecked her status while I accept the food she’s giving me.

There’s a few changes now…
Her race changed to human from ???, she’s now a homunculus instead of the soulless doll, parameters changed differently depending on her growth, and she gained a new special ability called Charm Aura
Wait… is it this skill the cause of the weird feeling? guess not.
I still have a weird feeling towards this girl… I don’t know why. She does look and feel familiar, did I met her somewhere?
Maybe I’ll get some answers after the effects of Self-Sacrifice is gone. Hopefully~
Me: “By the way… uh… Feruniru, where did you get this?”
The girl slightly tilts her head to the side before pointing towards the window.
I looked outside the window and stopped an abnormal looking tree.
Me: “Oh yea… I forgot about creating that.”
It feels like I’m forgetting too many things… I’ll just blame it on Weakened and Self-Sacrifice.
I tried talking a bit more to Feruniru.
. . . . .
I spent a good amount of time trying to talk to Feruniru…
Though it felt like an interrogation instead of a conversation as she could only answer yes or no through the movement of her head.
It didn’t felt like she hated it though, I think she was happy as she would sometimes smile when I tell her some stories.
It did felt like she was a kid… maybe ages 3~5?
Me: *Yawn* “It’s getting pretty dark outside and I’m getting tired, I guess it’s time for sleep~”
Feruniru nodded her head agreeing that it’s time for sleep.
Me: “There’s another bed in the next room, you could sleep there. Goodnight~”
Even though I said that, Feruniru never moved. Her face is that of a person pleading for something while clutching my blanket with her right hand.
.......Don’t tell me!
Me: “…D-D you want to sleep with me?”
She nodded multiple times this time…
No matter how much of a kid your mental state is in right now, your body isn't! This is too much for me!
Me: “C-Can’t you just sleep at the next room?”
She shook her head vigorously, there are even tears in her eyes…
Me: “Ok! Fine! You can sleep with me but-“
Before I could finish my sentence, she quickly dove into bed and proceeded to hug me… I-It hurts!
Her action really resembles a child’s… I’m feeling a bit happy though, so I’ll just ignore it this time.
. . . . .
I woke up the next day still feeling a little bit tired… I ‘had’ a bit of trouble sleeping yesterday… It was painful…
I only have 8 more hours to go until my status effects are gone.
Feruniru already woke up earlier than me, I think she’s out on the yard playing around.
I’m also curious about her Incubation and Life-Line.
I can’t inspect other’s skills, status effects, and title description.
I think I’ll just waste my time walking around and relax…
I already did everything I could think off yesterday. I’ll just wait for 13 hours then head to the Kingdom.
My original plan of going into the Kingdom was delayed for 3 days…
But today, I might be able to go today~
I’ll leave Feruniru here for now, I need to check if the Kingdom is safe.
I’ll just buy her something later~
I spent the day walking and playing around my dominion.
Just a little more and I can say bye-bye status effects~
I notice Feruniru walking towards me.
I was about to greet her but the atmosphere around her stopped me.
It wasn’t like her usual childish/playful atmosphere… it was something else, I can’t describe it…
Me: “J-Just what is this feeling?”
I softly muttered to myself as this ‘certain’ feeling is going all throughout my body…
Before I noticed it, Feruniru was already in front of me.
She raised her right hand and placed it on my chest.
She looks straight at my eyes and gave a bright smile that matches her beautiful face.
She was saying something but I couldn’t hear it…
System:The following status effects have dissipated:
Self-Sacrifice
Weakened
My consciousness fades and my vision turned to black.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment. Acknowledgements: All the mandala images, with one exception, were drawn by Brian Huggett using the Spirality mandala drawing application.

Phoenix
The story of the Dragon and Phoenix is a myth, a tale constructed by our wildest imaginations. Unless the tale isn't fiction.It is said that every generation, fate bestows its imprint into the blood of two vessels replenished with new life, still innocent of the world. Upon their birth, they are the game pieces, their paths, the board, and fate; it's only player.~One became an Emperor. He followed a path of trials and tribulations, war, and bloodshed. His sovereignty was one seized by travail force. His victims were slaughtered to their grave, never to be spoken of again. The cost of power was only his humanity and name, both stained in blood.The other stayed innocent.She followed a path of a simple, conservative life. She was content, happy, and yet, she possessed a heart brimming with hopes and dreams she dared not speak, a mind filled with intelligence she dared not reveal, and eyes full of tears she could not let fall.So unlike, and yet, fate holds the key to their parallel destiny.And so, it isn't a surprise for the heavens when she is chosen, chosen for a harem filled with cunning and bitter women skilled in the art of despicable scheming. Chosen for an Emperor, whose very name renders shivers down one's spine and who's sinful deeds haunt the empire's dreams. She has no choice. She must go.But what happens when she catches the eye of that very Emperor?After all, the Dragon is nothing without his Phoenix.
