《The Inventor of Magic》10: First Visit to the Workshop
Advertisement
Any feedback or helpful comments is appreciated, enjoy! ^O^
>>>Zach POV
As soon as I entered the workshop a great feeling suddenly struck me! It was disappointment. Why on earth these people need such a big and 'modern' area to make and tune magic device is beyond me.
I myself only have two desks, a computer and various handheld tools to tinker with in my workshop yet Silyan has a workshop that won't lose out to a couple of basketball courts in size. What's more is that there are loads of fancy shmancy fabricating tools; lasers, band saws, mechanical presses, mana focusing crystals- oh never mind. They all have a bloody 'Improm Industries' stamp on them.
Richard, as Lucy's father, must have donated all this to the school just because Lucy was coming here. I'm onto you Richard, you won't hear the last of this...
A lot of people wearing various craft man's attire filled the workshop you could see the dedication on their faces. Some even looked to be students on Silyan.
"So what are we looking for?", Lucy asked inquisitively. For some reason she kept trying staring at me thoroughly, I don't know what it was about but I just ignored it for now.
"I'm looking for Mike.",
"What that craftsman that was on stage earlier?",
"Yes... Ah there he is over there, leaning against the wall.", Lucy and I quickly made our way over there whilst making sure not to disturb the craftsmen. Even though their work was terrible, it wouldn't be very polite now would it?
What should I call him, Mike? No that's too informal surely.
"Mr Mike.", I called out to him as I got closer.
The man seemed startled; nearly spilling the coffee he was holding and looked up as we got over to him. "Hello?",

"Hi, I'm Zach Morton a new student. I was wondering if it would be possible to borrow a Magic Device just for my first practical lesson.",
Putting down his coffee Mike looked at me as if annoyed and finally replied,"Sure follow me. But in future DON'T CALL ME MR MIKE (it makes me sound old).", he roared the last part before leading the way I thought I heard him mumble something at the end but since I wasn't sure I just ignored it.
Mike led us to a door at the end of the workshop and after entering Lucy and I let out a gasp of surprise. It was a whole room filled with stacks upon stacks of Magic Devices.
"These are all various spare Magic Devices we gave and those that students have made. There are a few donated by Improm Industries as well when they gave us the new workshop equipment. You can borrow any one you like, when you've found one come and see me and we'll work out when you need to return it.", with that Mike left whilst mumbling some things about coffee breaks being sacred.
Suddenly Lucy bounded ahead of me into the room and spoke whilst looking through the Magic Devices.
"Don't worry Zach, I will pick out a suitable Magic Device for you. Although it might not look like it, when it comes to Magic Devices I know a thing or two.",
"Great.", I said sarcastically before also beginning to search.

"I've got one!", Lucy shouted as she pulled a Magic Device out of a pile of boxes and lifted it up high triumphantly.
"It's an early edition Improm make that is similar to the one used in the proficiency test. I'm sure that for someone like you who must have not had a lot of practice with Magic this will be perfect.",

Internally sighing I put on my best smile and say,"Thanks for the help Lucy, this will be perfect.".
After that I went to Mile to confirm that I needed to hand it in at the end of the day before walking out of the Workshop.
"Hey Zach, what should we do now?",
"I don't know, go to next lesson early?",
"Okay, we can wait in the classroom.",
And like that Lucy and I went to our next class early. For some reason she also sat next to me too, but I thought nothing of it.

Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.

Necromancer
I'm writing day by day without plan nor any idea of where the story is going and I'll be making no effort of editing or proofreading until I'm done with the story if ever. Be warned. Blue sky, blue water, blue moon, green pasture, this is the world of Blue. Long ago, the known world was divided into six kingdoms each embodying its own element. War and violence were everywhere, and the people suffered until one day the death lord had enough. Breaking a long-standing alliance with the Life lord, they killed him and resurrected him as a pawn. Before long, all but the fire lord were puppets under their rule, but the people rejoiced as war was all but finished... … but it was not to be. The death lord grew old. By the time of their final victory, they were already at death door with the armies of the fallen lord still disputing their heritage. Desperate to take things under control before his final demise, a ritual was conceived, one to transform the dying lord into an undying lich. The ritual worked but not without an unforeseen consequence: only the living can control the dead. As one, his former minions rose to overthrow them and before long the powerful elemental lords ruled again as the wight kings. Now immortal, their rules and their war became more cruel than ever and the people despaired, all the blame falling on the one they had once claimed their savior. The wight king's war lasted for six hundred year, but eventually even them were consumed by its violence and peace came. Generations have passed, new kingdoms have raised out of the ashes of the old ones, however the fear of the dead and those who rules over them still haunt the heart of the people. In a world that fears and reject them, death mages must works behind the scene to appease the spirits and heal the scars of the world.
