Chapter - 3
"AAAAAAHHH!!!" (Rex Vagus/Alexander King)
As he hurtled towards the ground, Rex couldn't help but scream. A blue message window popped up next to him but he was far too preoccupied to look at it. Suddenly, Rex felt his body get heavier, his rate of descent suddenly increased explosively!
BOOM!!!
Rex hit the ground Hard.
'How the hell did I survive that? Talk about a shit-faced landing! I am literally eating dirt right now!' (Rex)
Having fallen from a fairly high altitude, no normal human should have survived the impact. In addition, Rex had fallen face first, something that displeased him greatly. That's when he noticed the Message Window.
Welcome to Novus Mundus!Greetings Traveler!
Welcome to this new world. As of now, you have been summoned to a different world, however, it seems someone interrupted your summoning making it difficult for you to appear in a civilized area. You have been transported
to the [Lost Demon Forest] and must try your best to survive in this vicious jungle!
"......" (Rex)
"WHAT THE F*** IS THIS !?" (Rex)
RAAAAAHHH!!!!
"Shit! Monsters!" (Rex)
Rex ran from the crater he created when he landed. He knew that, currently, he wasn't strong enough to face any monsters head-on. Even though this game didn't have the concept of levels, one could say that while a newbie could kill a demon rabbit, the same rabbit could kill a careless veteran. Either way, he couldn't afford to confront a monster just when he started. So Rex ran.
2 hours of running later.....
*Pant* *Pant*
"Haa....My stamina isn't bad. Must be a racial trait. Shit, those bunnies are no joke. They chased me for an hour straight. Then those dogs caught onto my scent. Jeez! What's with this absurd forest..." (Rex)

Rex had been relentlessly chased by Demonic Beasts for two hours. He had met no less than fifty different types of beasts in the past two hours. The Lightning Bunnies and the Blood Hounds had actively hunted him, unlike the other beasts who had simply ignored him. He had finally managed to shake them off by swimming across a river and finding a relatively safe clearing.
"I need to find a place to rest. A camping ground would be asking for too much. A cave then? Or a tall tree? Both options are not easily accessible huh..." (Rex)
The jungle was fraught with various types of predators, a cave was something that most beasts would already be very possessive of. A tree, on the other hand, would be riddled with either the snake, primate or bird type beasts.
"Let's see what equipment I have...." (Rex)

"Man, this isn't really that descriptive..." (Rex)
Rex sat on the ground and shut his eyes to concentrate.
'If this is anything like in the light no- !?' (Rex)
As Rex was meditating, he could vaguely feel a sort of fog surrounding him. The fog seemed to have some coloration to it.
'Is this energy? No, this is more like....Essence?' (Rex)
*TING*
Congratulations! You have created a new skill!
New Skill: Mana Sense
"Eh, this is Mana? Where's the skill description? Let's see...Skill Description! Mana Sense!" (Rex)

"That's it!? Is this what she meant when she talked about custom skills? How come I never got a notification for the other three skills?" (Rex)

Sighing, Rex went back to meditating. As time went on he could in some way understand the Mana and it's properties. Earthen brown, Watery cyan, Fiery red and a Breezy green. These were the most basic essences of Mana that he could comprehend.
Next, Rex tried mentally reaching out to the essences. He felt that other than the essences of Earth and Fire, which were the easiest to reach out and connect to, Wind was slightly harder while Water was almost impossible.
"Seems like my affinities affect how I interact with Mana more than I thought." (Rex)
After that, Rex tried drawing in the Mana. He tried to start with dragging the Fire essence into the body.
Boom!
A small explosion happened near Rex's chest, where he was trying to draw the Mana into.
"Oof! Why did that happen!? Let's just try to gather it in one place!" (Rex)
Rex started gathering Earth Mana this time. He gathered it in his hands. He could feel something gathering above his hands. As he opened his eyes, he could see a clump of Earth hovering above his hands.
"This is....interesting. So, Mana is like the essence of an element? So if I condense enough Fire Mana...." (Rex)
FWOOSH!
As Rex gathered and condensed the Fire Mana in his hands, he managed to create a medium-sized flame.
"Medium-sized? Shouldn't it be smaller typically? Or is this because of my affinity?" (Rex)

"Again? How come I didn't get notifications for these?" (Rex)

To Blunt The Sharpest Claw
The Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels are a series of New Fable genre novels that involve cats and dogs and high adventure and romance and espionage and food-fights and hotels and explosions and car chases. With large casts, exotic locations and an absurdity only possible in the absence of human characters, the Velvet Paw of Asquith Novels blend Wind in the Willows with James Bond, though with more cafes and fewer badgers. This submission is the third title in its Morigan Trilogy, beginning two-thirds of the way through the series' longest adventure yet. Here's a quick recount of what's happened so far: When Oscar Teabag-Dooven, a Velvet Paw of Asquith, is ordered to investigate how a mysterious poet, the Ar'dath-Irr, is able to travel instantaneously around the world, two very bad things happen. Firstly, he meets Lydia, an insane librarian who punches everyone in the face, and secondly, the Ar'dath-Irr reveals he is intent on taking over the world. Although this second thing might be considered worse than the first, Oscar feels differently following Lydia’s destruction of a cafe, a library and his face in one afternoon. In comparison, thwarting world domination just seems easier. Along with Binklemitre, a fellow Velvet Paw of Asquith, and Lydia, Oscar infiltrates the Ar’dath-Irr’s realm of dark poetry to discover the dog not only intends wrenching the world apart but has no intention of cleaning up afterwards. As a result, Oscar decides it’s all too hard and goes home to have a bath. After lots of arguing and the sort of food fight that posh restaurants were invented for, Lydia and Binklemitre convince him that they must stop the Ar’dath-Irr for several reasons, one of them quite serious. A vibrant cast of characters collide as Oscar, Lydia and Binklemitre battle the Ar’dath-Irr and his disciples in an adventure involving exploding cafés and appalling hotels, car chases and inadvertent surgery, dreadful poetry, lots of arguments and at least one temper-tantrum, all of which draw the three into dark and convoluted corners of a world they weren’t aware existed. Moreover, any chance of sitting down and discussing things over some buns disappears when Lydia punches the Ar’dath-Irr in the face. This results in her having a psychotic episode and Oscar getting run over by an ambulance. Although Binklemitre suffers neither, he witnesses both, which is almost as dreadful, though not nearly so messy. An enormous battle ensues, followed by a dinner party and then everything explodes.
