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)

The Brotherhood Archive:Crossroads(Revised)
All people great or small have a story - Patriarch Lord Theris'Heron Soletus, was on the verge of becoming a warden in the Dias Brotherhood until his father holds him back. Instead of proving his skill with culling monsters that plague the land, he is given an assignment different assignment. It isn't one that test doesn’t test his physical strength, but his strength of character. He is paired up with a shy and traumatized boy name Mien. Between Mien’s anxious behavior and the crime he committed, Soletus doesn’t know what to do or what to think. He wasn’t trained for the duty he is performing and has no idea if he is doing the right thing. However, when Soletus’s resolve to help starts to waiver, Mien does something unexpected and Soletus decides that the boy deserves a second chance not as an act of duty but as a friend. Hy'Ruh-Ha is a what I consider a chronicle fantasy. It is a fantasy drama coming of age story inspired by slice-of-life stories I've read and watched. It is heavy on the slice-of-life and does move slow. It is low-stakes fantasy. This particular story is romance free.(2 out the of 4 is re-uploaded under this title) And if you are someone who cares, the POV character is asexual. Crossroad(formally labeled as the intermission stories)- is a novella collection continuing the tale where Hy'ruh-Ha. The collection as followed: Wolf- After spending several months in the swamp post, Oeric'Sheldmartin returns to repair the chasm between him and his son, Soletus. However, a ghost from his past comes to haunt him and could ruin the life he's made completely. Note: Wolf is a bit of a character piece. POV character is Oeric. The Priest and the Priestess- A novella written in the POV of Mien and then Kiao after a series of unexpected events that change their lives. Mien's POV- Mien has spent the last couple of years working not only in the infirmary but training to become a combat chanter as part of his penitence. Then one day, a drug addled elf comes into infirmary and changes his perspective of a friend and puts his knowledge to the tests to figure out a mystery effecting children in town. *Spoiler warning* Kiao's POV- Kiao spent most of her time in the infirmary living the same daily secret filled life and until Mien changed it. Now she has to figure out her future in ways she never thought she would. I'm going for a Tues and Thurs day schedule for the re-upload. I may or may not stick in extra days.

Lost Things
"In this disordered continent, where everyone seeks to be the heroes of their own tales, there are still some rooms for smaller stories to breathe." "Past, present, and future—keep your eyes open, and see where they lead you to." This story follows three housemates’ lives: Carson Calding, Virgil Barion, and John Salore—onto their adventures of finding Carson’s past, Virgil’s present, and John’s future. Despite their clashing backgrounds and circumstances that forced them together, they’re definitely going to find the things they had lost, for sure. Each entire chapter will be updated biweekly. There'll be three smaller parts per each chapter. Note that this story was written to be an interactive one, with polls at the end of each parts deciding on what happens next. Though, the polls for this story won't be available on Royal Road updates. (I also upload this in Arcane Odyssey forum, and it's currently the only place where I open the polls and use the poll results from.)
