Chapter - 5
"Hmm...this clearing seems safe." (Rex)
After wandering about for ten minutes, Rex had chanced upon a small clearing. The clearing looked to be devoid of any life. It was surrounded by trees on one side and a rock wall on another.
"Alright! Let's begin with some rudimentary walls!" (Rex)
Rex got down on one knee, put his palms to the ground, and 'imagined' four Earth Walls connecting with each other. However, no matter how he tried, he couldn't get them to raise up simultaneously. He tried to do one wall after another, succeeding after three tries. After recovering from what he temporarily called Mana exhaustion, he tried to fuse the edges of the four walls, managing to succeed with great difficulty in the end.
"Ah! I can't make a roof!" (Rex)
Rex wasn't able to create a roof that could support itself, he walls would thin out and the structure almost looked like it was on the verge of collapsing.
"I don't have enough control yet. Then what can I do? A dome, or an earth igloo? No, that would require more control. Maybe...a cave? This rock wall could be manipulated into being made a cave.....I could somehow cover the entrance, right?" (Rex)
This time, Rex stood up and put his hands on the wall, and concentrated on trying to hollow out the rock wall.
'This is even more difficult than I imagined. Is it because there are a lot more minerals in the wall than in the soil? Yes! I've got a good idea about the depth of the cave. Now to remove the solid rock.....or should I just 'move' it elsewhere? But how? Ugh! Nevermind! I'll just dump the rock here!' (Rex)
In the [Lost Demon Forest] a strange event was happening. One man had his hands on a rock wall for quite some time. Suddenly, the man took a step back, with his hands positioned in the same manner. What seemed extremely miraculous was that it seemed that a part of the wall seemed to come off along with the man's hands. Slowly, the man extracted a large piece of rock that was about, 50 by 8 by 8 feet. The rock almost resembled a cone of sorts.

Rex slowly dragged the conical piece of rock out from the rock wall and deposited it right outside the cave. He was sweating profusely and panting heavily.
"Haa, that...took...a...LOT...more...effort....than I imagined. Why does the rock piece remind me of some comic I remember reading? It looks like a roughly shaped Obelisk....." (Rex)
He decided not to worry too much about it and decided to head into the cave. But before he did that that, he gathered some dry branches and created a few Earth Spikes at the front of the cave. Once he walked in, he created a small fire using his magic and the branches. He created a small stone bench and sat next to the fire.
"What a day! I should get some sleep for the night, I'll think of what to do tomorrow....Oh! Before that...." (Rex)

"Tch! How is it that I don't get a notification for each skill?" (Rex)
Rex had gained four skills since the 'encounter'. Curious as to why he wasn't being notified about each skill, Rex decided to try an experiment.
"Let's see....it was something like this?" (Rex)
Rex took a stance with his sword and lifted it above his head with both hands on the hilt. Then, with as much force as he could muster, he brought it down.
*TING*
Congratulations! You have created a new skill!
New Skill: Strike
"Eh? What!? Just that much for that skill?" (Rex)
Rex decided to try part two of his experiment. He invoked the Meditation skill and started to gather Mana, except this time, he was collecting Wind Mana. He decided to use the same process he used for the Fireball skill.

Congratulations! You have created a new skill!
New Skill: Wind Ball
"Hmm....this was slightly within my expectations....now onto the final part..." (Rex)
Now, Rex directly invoked the Wind Ball skill and then started compressing it even more. He started to divide the Wind Ball into smaller balls and then shaped the balls into oval shapes and then finally into bullets. After he did that he attacked the nearby wall.
"Hoh! The power is pretty decent! But, no skill notification again...." (Rex)

"As I thought....it's got to do with mentality. If one is absorbed in making the skill itself, then the skill creation window will show. But, if one is even more absorbed in with fighting or making a newer skill, one wouldn't get a notification but would still get the skill....it's not a bad system. Either way, I can still get skills." (Rex)
With all his experimenting done, Rex decided to finally get some sleep. He double checked the spikes at the entrance of his cave and made sure that the smoke from the fire wouldn't choke him. Once all that was done, Rex tried to go to sleep.
As Rex's consciousness drifted, he barely noticed a pair of glowing yellow eyes staring at him from outside the cave. If he would have looked closer, he might have noticed that the glow didn't come naturally, yellow lightning crackled within its pupils.

Ah hello! Sorry for the delay! Hopefully, I can release another chapter tomorrow. And, uh, for anyone worried about him being a mage.....
*SPOILER ALERT*
He won't be, not entirely.
Anyway, that's that. Please comment, rate and read. And thank you- Red Kaiser, NorseWind, Cycoteddy and Famine for your comments! All of them were much appreciated.
Adios! Ciao! Alvida!

The Book of Hickory
Now why did Hickory go and punch that Angel? Sure it spooked him, popping up right there at lunch, and yet, it wasn't fear that balled his hand into a fist - Cause wouldn't you? Wouldn't anyone - with a sick Ma at home, Da long dead, buried, all them prayers piling up on bruised knees, unanswered? Hickory was angry, all right. He was fierce, now - cause that Angel didn't show up to give no help, that Angel came by asking for it - with all that power just plain to see, the power to fix the world and all that ails it! And now look what poor Hickory has to do - to save the world? Now how is he supposed to do that when its taking near everything he's got - just to keep them chickens safe, Ma fed, and himself out of trouble - All he wanted was maybe just a dance with May, maybe a bit more, to hold her close? That she's sweet, now, a voice like an angel, but now she's over there lookin at him like he's more than a man. And that's not to say Hickory is bad, not all the time, not ever on purpose - just there are things a man has to - That drinking and fighting ain't wrong just as long as the chores are done proper first, that those parts of life that make it worth living ain't no sin, that loving a lady is proper and Hickory just has so much love to give! And May is special, right, sweet and soft, now she's sophisticated. That she wears her passion like a pearl necklace? That certainly Hickory would notice, naturally - that she's already spoken for, perhaps taken? That ever since Hickory came back, that all she can think about is swallowing - those strange feelings, because it wouldn't do, would it? For a Lady? But certainly she can worship him and still be seen with Weston Covanger? Because Weston needs May, that what happens in the Study is only half the battle, the Men's Business, and he's far too proud to settle for half of anything. That if he wants to move up the ranks of his family, to be more than a Covanger, to become the Covanger? He's going to need a woman in the Kitchen as well - he's going to need May. And if that seems a bit old fashioned? A bit too much like the Wild West? Well the West is starting to get wild again now that everyone starts to Drink. A different take on LitRPG where answers aren't given - they must be earned, discovered and fought for, one at a time. An orator style, a long read, filled with magic buildings, crafting, alchemy, but most of all - This is a story about the human spirit. About understanding what defines a person, their morals, their beliefs, and also faith when everything they understand becomes challenged - changed. So do they. People can change. They will. Just not always for the better, not always - sometimes. Sometimes that's enough. Sometimes that's even everything.
