《My Hermit Life》Chapter 27

" Finally I got Enchanting to Max Mastery that means I can after a month long time finally practice Totem Magic. Ssooo could you explain the uses of it to me please Master? "
" Yes. " Said a certain irratated turtle after being disturbed from his drinking time. " But this is the only time I will explain it to you.
So, Totem Magic is when you take a variety of woods and you carve them to be whatever you want in the universe, depending on what you carve you get different effects. For example, say you were to carve a Dragon Elephant you would get massive boosts in all physical stats as well as race skills. In order to get the skills, stats, or other changes though you have to put multiple high level Enchantments, once again depending on the Enchantments used you could get better, worse, or even zero benefits. "
" Is that it? Sounds kind of simple. "
" Solomon other than Legendary Beasts and maybe a few other high level races nobody can learn Superior or above Masstery in Enchantment Magic. Those who can would likely have trouble getting decent materials before reaching a high level. There are also many other factors that make it basically impossible for someone other than you or people of your status to get real decent benefits. Do you have any other questions, oh and by the way I will be providing the materials for you to use so go get whatever you want out of storage. "
" I do have a question actually, what would happen if I were to carve myself? "
" Hohoho, good question boy-o, you would double your stats, talents, and maybe a few race skills not at Max Mastery. If you use good enough materials and Enchantments you might even be able to triple or more everything previously mentioned and even perfect your race a bit more. "
In pure reverence Solomon muttered to words. " Thats . . . . Insane! "
" Now go study for a few more months and dont come out until you have everything calculated from materials to desired effects and even potential tribulations. "
" YES MASTER! " And like a school girl in love a short, stocky, golden furred monkey ran back to his room to study and calculate..

If one were to peek inside a certain hand built cabin ontop of a massive waterfall one would see a gorgeous female centaur sitting on a self knitted cushion perfectly sized for the comfort of her horse body. Behind her siiting bean bag like chair is a young Legendary Beast who is delicatley brushing his wifes tail. This is of course Solomon and Loretta who are sharing a rare them only moment. They werent doing anything particularly romantic, just talking while enjoying the presence of their companion.
" So how was your day today Solo? "
" Pretty good I have after six months gotten everything I can think of concerning Totem Magic listed. How was your day babe? "
" Same ol' same ol'. I did reach Max Mastery in knitting though finally. Anyway show me the list I have been curious for months. "
" Alright here you go. "

Likelihood of Tribulation - 50%
" Looks great but I have a few questions. "
" Shoot. "
" Why the Spirit Wood, Petrified Spirit Wood, and Physical Mana Veins Enchantment? Also why the Tattoo enchantments? "
Solomon shoots a little smirk at his wife and then expalins his plans. " I am planning to more than triple the amount of Mana Veins I have, hence the stuff with Spirit wood and Physical veins enchantment and whatnot. And after tons of research and testing I determined that if you use tattoo enchantments on your Totem at the same time as you get them on your self you could easily quadruple the gains. I am a genius right, right, come on tell your hubby hes a super genius. "
" Wwweeeelllllllllll you arent bad, the tattoo idea is pretty smart, but the Mana Veins are very dangerous to work with. We just got married I dont want to be widowed instantly. "
After saying that Loretta stands up and turns to face Solomon who after noticing the distinct worry on her face smiles a bit and gives her a big ol' hug.
" Listen lets just not worry about Masteries, Skills, Levels and all that today. How about you and I go on date through that world I made, I have upgraded it immensely, you can see genuine looks of terror on peoples faces. "
Spoiler: Spoiler
I completlely forgot how to spell terror and it took me 4 plus minutes trying to find the right word on google. I thought I was crazy and had made up a word.
After that the two of them just barely walked hand in hand to enjoy themselves like a couple of genocidal maniacs.

" Well Solomon its been 1 year since you got married, how do you feel? "
" Pretty good dad, you know that we just got back from our anniversery vacation, and let me tell you that was great. Even though we didnt do it unfortunately but I guess thats how it goes when are married at six years old. "
" Hehehe yeah sucks for you. Anyway have you worked out all the kinks involving the Totem Magic preperation and everything? "
" Yeah I just finished carving everything out a few days ago, right now I am just practicing with the enchantments in my " Safe Space ".
" I heard about that from Master, tell me about it. "
" Well Loretta and I were messing around with Mana and skill control the other day and we noticed reactions between our Mana types. So we got to playing around and found out we can combine skills using the connection of our marriage, rings, and weapons. We ended up mixing Barrier Magic and a whole bunch of different Space Magics from just regular Space Magic to World Magic and even a little Black Whole Magic. One thing lead to another and we created an entire world we can enter whenever and wherever, we have a few rare plants in there right right now growing right now. "
" Holy hell Solomon, you two are insane. Shit dude, so she can already use unstable space magics and you can create a barrier that can hold an entire planet. " Han, a few million year old, god killing, kingdom slaughtering, Divine Monkey was currently freaking out by the casual playing around of his son and daughter-in-law. He even started to pace around their room.
" That isnt even the best part, you know how you can change Barriers to be like woods, minerals and metals right. So I got to thinking and I played around a bit and discovered that I can make my Barriers take the forms of magical ingredients. Meaning if I use Barrier Magic to Enchant I can get all the benefits of rare ingredients without actually getting the ingredients. As long as I have enough Mana and understanding of the ingredients I can replicate them using Barriers, I am planning to use Barrier Enchanting ( what Solomon calls his Enchanting with Barriers ) as well as physical ingredients on my Totem. I have put multiple Enchantment inlays on our Barrier World speeding time up by a few hundred times already so those plants are growing quick. "

At this point Han was totally speechless and dumb-struck, he couldnt even form full thoughts. While he was looking slack jawed at Solomon, Loretta and Shie walk into the room that Solomon and Han were using. When Shie saw her husband being completely amazed she got slightly worried at his open mouth and dripping drool, she decided to ask Solomon what happened. When Solomon was finished explaining his mother wasnt in a much beter situation than her husband.
" Anyway bye guys love you, we will try to stop by soon. "
" Bye Mom, bye Dad, try not to catch any flys with your mouths open. "
"" Buuuuhhhhh uuummmm buh-bye/ Love umm love you two, hey wait I have more questions. " Unfortunately by the time Han regained consciousness Solomon and Loretta were long gone and he didnt feel like being dumbstruck once again.
"" HEHEHE that was tttoooo funny " uuummmm buh-bye " hehehe/ Yeah you had them good. Hehehe. "
" Anyway I am going to Home World to practice Enchanting would you like to join me ' ma-lady '? "
" Im good hun, I think I am going to go visit my mom and dad. "
" Alright well get me out of the world when you get there. "
" Sure. "
4 Months Later
" Alright Solomon you have done the maximum amount of preperation possible, its time to do this. "
" I agree Master. "
" I am here, your parents, your in laws, and your wife are all also here to support you in this task. Dont worry about anything at worst you have to do this at level 2. "
Solomon didnt respond and nobody else spoke a word, only giving him encouraging looks. After pumping himself up Solomon pulls the Totem that he had been working on for months out of his and Lorettas world. The Totem itself is 6' tall, it has three sections all of which look identical, they look like three copies of Solomon crawling out of a dark space with almost transparent tubes around him.
The skin of the copies is made of Immortal evergreen wood as well as some World Tree wood, the underlayer or " blood " of the copies is made out of Vitality Blood wood, the brains of the copies are made of Thousand Elightenment Wood, Wood from the Tree of Knowledge, Good, and Evil, and some of the other World Tree woods, the Mana veins are made using Spirit Wood and then coated using petrified Spirit wood making them physical and non-physical at the same time and lastly the ends of the Mana Veins are grounded using Soul Guiding Sycamore.
After Solomon checked making sure the Totem was perfect he brought out some inlaying tools as well as a very fancy wood burner. Solomon first started inlaying at the bottom of the Totem adding in all the Enchantments in the specific places he had marked along the Totem. He first added the Immortal Skin Enchantment all over the skin of the copies, after that he added the Body Tempering Lightning Enchantment, and then he added the Legendary Dragons Divine Might Enchantment.
Solomon was starting to get less and less room on the skin portion of the Totem making him use much more delicate movements which in turn caused him to need more time and strength to carve out the grooves. Solomon decided to take a chance and start narrowing the space of the grooves making his situation much harder but also giving him plenty of room to work with. With the extra room Solomon felt much more confident in getting all his Enchantments on with space to spare. He then proceeded to carve out the grooves for Personification of the Legendary Beast, Vertility Boost, Talent Boost, and Evolution Theory Enchantments each one right after the other. He then proceeded using narrow openings he added along the " skin portion " for reaching the second layer to lay the Blood Growth Enchantment as well as the Aura of the Mountain Enchantment and the Bringer of Storms Enchantment.
When he was done with the second layer Solomon finally reached the hard part of the Carving or the " Brain Part ". Solomon slowly and tenderly added the Sound Mind Sound Body and Genius Brain Enchantments. When he was done with that Solomon used the Physical Mana Veins Enchantment as well as a few others on his Mana Veins. When he was done with the Enchantments then came the Tattoo Enchantments, while he was putting tattoos on the Totem his Master would be doing the same to Solomons body.
4 Hours Later
" I cant believe I did it with no screw ups, Ill be honest I thought for sure I would mess up on the second layer enchants."
" Dont get happy now, I can feel the energy building over head you have a tribulation coming. "
" You know Im kind of happy I didnt choose to side with some douche bag heaven, always trying to crash my happy moments, he or she is lucky I dont bop them. "
" You know if you had chose the Rule the Heavens Title you likely would have been left alone, but since you chose Bane of the Heavens they will send down harder tribulations. "
" Really! Man thats bull crap, ' sigh ' whatever I have a plan for the Tribulation Lightning anyway. "
After Solomon said that he summoned his and Lorettas world and seemed to be preparing to block using their Barrier World. All of the company, except Loretta, were confused by his actions as he seemingly wanted to destroy his and his wifes world.
After a few moments a dark blue and purple lightning bolt shot right at the Barrier World, everybody was shocked at the power for a mere Totem tribulation though Solomon kept his shock hidden very well.
Just when the Lightning looked like it would disintergrate the Barrier World it disappeared, everybody looked around curious about where the bolt went, except Loretta who asked.
" Did it work? "
" Yeah baby! We have officially created an artificial heaven. Before yall ask Loretta and I used a variety of skills to create a formation, we just needed a bit of Heaven Aura to activate it. We mainly used Space Magics to trap, confine, and then assimilate using some combined skills, long story short we are bad ass. "
" Alright Hun, enough about that show us your benefits. "
" Sure. Yall appraise. "

The southern belle has a bite, and she is willing to learn and to grow in this hostile new world. She will use whatever means necessary to reclaim her freedom, be it guile, charm, or those intriguing new instincts that make blood so delectable. This is a story of vampires as I believe they should be, with their strengths and weaknesses, with their remnants of humanity and the beast inside. Updates every Friday. Mind the tags. Cover by Antti Hakosaari: https://www.artstation.com/haco Special thanks to Svensonsen for getting me started, as well as Omi Nya, Jemima, my patrons and you dear readers, for the support.

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.
