《I am a tree》Their arrival
Advertisement
Two weeks have passed since the town hall had been finished. Over the course the elves had begun secret meetings in the town hall with Barbra. Well, it would've been secret until a few birdmen spotted Barbra exiting the town hall. They have been wondering why the elves would keep on entering the town hall for some reason; they were even worried that they caught onto their plans so they scouted them out. In a way they did, but once the bird men saw Barbra leave the town hall, the next instant she disappeared from their sights. The bird men who were scouting flinched when they saw it, but the events seemed to click into their heads.
"The elves must be gathering there because of the fairy..."
One of the people who scouted said that to Brian who was also scouting.
"Could that strange light from a few days ago be from the fairy then?"
Another person who scouted asked. After thinking for a while, Brian said...
"It seems the fairy has brainwashed them and is putting on some divine light act..."
A half of that was actually right, but Barbra didn't brain wash them. Stanford did. Anyways he's not doing it anymore, I still see him trying his best to change them back. With that, the bird men eased up about their town hall meetings and decided that the elves didn't know of their plans. Everything was settled so the rest of the days passed peacefully.
...
...
...
On my night of pla-experimenting with magic, I saw three figures soaring through the sky into the bird men camp. There was a fire in the camp with Brian and a few others who made the plan around it. Once the figures were close enough, the light shined onto them revealing their body. It was the bird men who left around two weeks ago... so that means.
◄Wake up the elves!►
Oops, I accidentally used to much force to say that, but it doesn't matter. Soon enough, I heard a yawn.

[...Mas...Master, whats... what is it?]
Barbra didn't even try to hide she just woke up. Was she doing this on purpose? Whatever...
◄Gather the elves into the town hall then spread a barrier around the camp. Use 10 percent of my magic...►
[Eh... uh yes master.]
Her tone showed she didn’t' seem to understand but did it anyways. The elves started waking up and gathered into the town hall. A single light called Barbra was illuminating the room. During her gathering of the elves, I explained the situation to her so she was finally able to understand my worries. She shut the doors and blocked the windows after all the elves were gathered, and then told them...
"Everyone... the day has finally come. Let master handle this situation."
The elves immediately understood that and talked amongst themselves. All the meetings weren't a waste of time since they were calm. Well I should go check the bird men then my domain afterwards. Exiting the building, I see a transparent sphere going around the camp, good; she's put up the barrier already. I head to the bird men camp and see that a lot of fires were started making their camp bright. Everyone was awake and Brian with a few others behind him was talking.
"The time has finally arrived where we shall relive our tradition! Five of our past ally tribes have come to help us rid of the elves! Let us start the extermination as a signal!"
All the bird men who were in front of Brian spread whispers among them; those behind him didn't show much of a reaction. A bird man... woman finally questioned him.
"Why must we fight when there is a paradise here?!"
To the question, Brian gave an answer.
"For our tradition! Do you not care for it?"
I wonder what sort of tradition involves a young mega-sized tree. Few bird men shouted at his question.

"We don't need it! They were only stories told by tales! Those elves may be being tricked but they..."
"What?! Have you no respect for your ancestors?!"
"They were the ones who told us we could only be happy with a enormous tree we might have never found! Now we know they're wrong, living here peacefully is what makes us happy!"
Whoa. The people behind Brian increased to 11; the remaining 33 were standing against him. The 11 behind Brian was made up of mostly aged people while the 33 against him were made up of mostly young people. If I remember correctly, a lot of them made friends with the elves. I'm not sure if I should keep watching or go look for the other group... it feels like something big will happen here if I left... and I was right! After they had a stare off with a big argument, Brian said something then he and the 11 people behind him closed their eyes. Above them a ball of wind was spinning. Grabbing for something inside his magic bag, Brian took his hand out and threw a purple powder into the ball of wind then said a few words to the frightened group.
"You will understand, just wait until this is over."
With that, out of the ball the purple powder suddenly shot out and spread in a wave towards the 33 bird men. In a instant they all collapsed, luckily they were still breathing. Brian shouted out a command and the remaining bird men took ropes out of their magic bags and walked towards the ones who collapsed. Some had a nasty smile when their eyes were laid upon the fainted females... Yeah this seems a bit messed up... I thought they were all on good terms. Thinking that, I used barrier magic to collect them then moved them to the town hall, they were inside of my barrier so they smoothly went through the barrier around the camp. Those 33 bird men seem to want peace so this should be fine.
◄Open the doors and take these sleeping bird men inside.►
[Okay?]
Barbra seemed to question me, but I went ahead and laid the fainted bird men in front of the town hall. I turned back to the bird men, they were looking directly at me... no they were looking at the bird men who suddenly went to the elves camp. It seems they noticed the barrier around the camp, they looked very confused. Well... I guess that how it would be. Regaining his sense slowly, Brian shouted...
"You three! Take us to where they are staying!"
He told that to the three who left. The three gave a nod and took flight, the rest took after them. I was following them since it'd be easier if everyone dangerous was gathered into one spot. When they reached the edge of the hill, they took a curve down, I also saw what they were heading towards. A group of hundreds of people lit up in the night with torches. There were carriages resting with people inside, it seems they've been here for only some time since a lot of people were moving around. Looking at the three bird men flying into the group, they landed next to a group of five people all wearing black clothing. Closing in on them, I heard Brian's voice.
"Help! The elves kidnapped our people!"
... I wouldn't use that term. I would use appropriately moving them from suspicious people. Well, not suspicious but outright guilty of knocking them out. The five people were pondering over what Brian said then one of them spoke...
"Bring us there."

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
