Around noon the next day, Leon finished his weapons. The staff looked pretty dull, but the spear looked quite imposing. He swung both of them around for a few minutes, and then he received the notifications.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Spearmanship.

Leon felt quite satisfied with his work, not only that; those two weapons were quite heavy, so he expected also to raise his Strength while he practices with those weapons. That being said, he had to test the result of his hard work into action and confirm if it was useful, after all. Leon approached the fish trap, and another fish jumped toward him. This time he stopped the creature with the backside of his spear, and when the monster fell on the ground, Leon used all his might and attacked with his spear.
“HA!…”
The test had been a success. Leon expected a little less from his weapon, but his weapon pieced the fish head quite easily, destroying it, and that was why he felt bad about it. The feeling of killing a living being while hearing the sound of flesh being torn apart was beyond unpleasant. That being said, that didn’t stop Leon from using that fish as his lunch. It was unpleasant to hunt his food, but he was in a situation where he couldn’t waste much time thinking about such things.
“Sorry, little fish, but you attacked me first, and despite being so ugly, you are delicious.”
After lunch, Leon started to practice with his spear. Just as he had expected, moving that long and heavy weapon was making his stamina decrease at an astonishing pace. Regardless, after a few hours of training, Leon leveled up Spearmanship several times and also received a few pleasant news.

Congratulations! Your Strength has increased by one point.
Congratulations! Your Endurance has increased by one point.
“Phew… finally.”
Leon fell on the ground thanks to the exhaustion, to use the spear for a longer time, he had to make good use of his lower body, and that was probably why he was so exhausted and why his endurance increased. The first two hours, he only felt tired and not a single bit of muscle aches, but now, Leon could hear every single muscle of his body screaming. The fatigue was still there, but the pain disappeared after ten minutes.
“I need to increase my stamina to make this kind of thing more efficient…”
Leon sighed, it was good to keep his mind busy, but finding too many things to do was also troublesome. Spending his mana and training Earth Manipulation was easy; he just had to control as much earth as he can, and then the skill would slowly level up. However, even though it was one of his main objectives, Leon didn’t feel satisfied with that, since he basically he only needed to train for one minute every ten minutes.
“I also need to think of a way to increase my mana without free status points… I probably can increase my stamina by running, but how can I increase mana? Studying? It would be nice if I could, but I’m quite certain that I can’t increase my recovery without free status points.”
Leon couldn’t study, just thinking randomly about things wouldn’t probably help either. However, there was one thing that could help Leon in that regard: meditation.
“That kind of zen stuff never picked my attention, but… it is worth a try.”
Leon sat in the lótus position and closed his eyes, until now, he tried to keep his mind busy, and thanks to it, he had quite a hard time cleaning his mind. To make matters worse, every time. He forgot about the things he had to do to leave the island, Leon recalled the faces of his parents and little sister.

“Fantastic… great way to become depressed.”
Leon sighed, but he wouldn’t give up so soon. Eventually, he managed to clean his mind for all his problems and worries. After one minute in that state without thinking of anything, he received a notification.
Congratulations! You have learned the skill: Meditation.
You obtained 01 status points.
“I guess it won’t be that easy… if this works like exercising my muscles, I will have to do this for at least two hours to confirm if this can increase my status. That being said… what this skill can do?”
Considering that Leon only learned the skill after a full minute without thinking about anything, he would have to stay in that state for a while to see what kind of status would increase if it could increase any status at all. Regardless, it was obvious that kind of action was deeply related to things like soul and spirit. Leon didn’t see his mana increasing, so he decided to spent some mana and then meditate, and just like he had thought, Meditation was really related to soul and spirit. Due to the fact that mana was the power of mind or the soul, Leon recovered one mana point after that minute of meditation.
“The effect is quite meager, but it should get better the more I use it.”
It would be better if Leon could meditate and train Earth Manipulation at the same time, but again, the world didn’t become all that convenient.

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

The Ancient One
The Alteric Empire was vast and powerful. Their borders reached to all coasts of the continent, and their banner swayed in the wind of every town. Their knowledge on magic was second to none, and their firm grasp of combat trained highly skilled warriors. Their enemies trembled at their approach, and their friends feasted their arrival. The Orcs, and the Dwarves, were conquered, and given equal rights as their Human Overlords. For thousands of years they reigned supreme, and peace and prosperity was abundant throughout the continent. The arrival of the Elves shattered that. Led by their so called "Great One", they invaded the empire. Elves fell in droves, hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands, but the empire lost ground. In a last attempt to defeat the Elves, the Crown Prince was sealed away, with the hope that one day he would be awoken in an time where the Elves can be stopped. Without the prince, the Elves lost less and less soldiers with each attack, until the Empire crumbled. After thousands of years of occupation, Humanity is no more. There are only elves, orcs, and dwarves, and humans have been forgotten by most. Hundreds of thousands of years later, a young elf will stumble across an ancient secret, and the Elven Empire will shake in it foundations. For the Ancient Being awakes, and he brings doom.
