-Iris’s P.O.V-
‘Eh?’ Rin wrote quickly with such a cute surprised expression on his face.
“Ya! I want to learn magic so I can protect my husband!” I declared. Hehe, now I won’t only have a way to protect you, but now I can use that magic to keep other girls at least three feet away from you!”
-Zilla’s P.O.V-
‘Should we teach her?’ Rin asked slightly wary of teaching Iris magic.
‘If it’s her who knows what she’ll do with magic besides protecting you, but that doesn’t outweigh the fact that,due to her elements,she’ll be a powerful being that grows on par with you if she learns magic.’
‘What’s her element?’ Rin asked raising his eyebrow in curiosity.
‘She’s a succubus so unlike humans she has two elements to start with. Hers being Mind control, and blood magic’.
Rin’s face slightly paled and stuttered ‘L-Let’s not teach her mind control. Ever.’
‘You know she’ll learn it whether you want her to or not. Besides you're right, not right now, her mental state isn’t stable enough to be using Mind control. If she were to use Mind control now, she’ll only damage her mental state even further due to not being able to control her thoughts and overall craziness.’
‘So you’ll only be teaching her blood magic.’
‘I don’t know how to use blood magic, how am I supposed to teach her?’ Rin wrote frowning.
‘Sigh, do you remember what I taught you about the elements?’
Rin nodded his head in reply.
Then you should know, that elements are forces that make up the world that have their own separate color.
-Fire being red
-Water being blue
-Earth being Green
-And Air being yellow
As for elements such as thunder, and magma, they are merely called sub-elements, elements made from combining two or more of the main elements(Fire,Earth,Water, and air) while elements made from modifying the properties of one of the main four elements is called variations. Variations have different shades of color depending on the element that’s used and modified. For example ice will be a different shade of blue, while mist has a different shade of yellow.

As for sub-elements, the elements used together, will lead to their colors mixing. From there the mixed color (depending on the elements used) can have a different shade of color, if one chooses to create a variation with it. But you can’t just mix any elements together, if you mix the wrong ones the color will turn black and if used it will explode in front of you.That’s why the races created books that show what elements can be mixed and what can’t, but they are very expensive so most people just experiment with what they can combine or not, which often leads to death.
You can get the same element by either using the sub-elements method or variational method. But variations although having more possibilities,require more mana compared to sub-elements. That’s why most people turn to sub-elements instead when starting.
There are cases of magic not originating from the four main elements called Black magic, such as blood magic, and mind control.’
‘I understand the sub-elements and variations but why are they called black magic?’ Rin asked seeking for understandment
‘ Reason they're called black magic because they are a taboo to the church who believes in that stinking old hag Elemantala(El-Man-Tala) the goddess of the four main elements, because they believe magic who has no correspondence to the four main elements are demonic and evil. Brainwashing freaks is one way to describe the people of her cult. But getting back on track, it’s time to teach the girl.’
-Iris P.O.V-
‘Okay Iris, I’ll teach you magic.’ Rin wrote to me.
Elated I happily awaiting for my darlings instructions.
‘First close your eyes and sense mana,feel mana, it’s all around you and a part of everything, living or nonliving.’ Rin instructed.
Closing my eyes, I tried to sense mana...five seconds later...ten seconds later. Ah! There’s a blue orb floating around me, ah! There’s more! Is this mana?! Let’s ask darling~.
“Darling~, is the blue orb floating around mana?”
‘Yes that’s mana. Now all you have to do is absorb it into your veins, do that by simply thinking of absorbing mana and your mana core should do the rest. But be careful not to absorb too much, start by absorbing only a little.’ Rin wrote ignoring the darling part.

Hehe,he’s worried about me, Don’t worry darling, I won’t let you down!
Closing my eyes once more, I thought of absorbing the mana orbs floating around me. Slowly but surely the floating mana started to drift closer to me, completely absorbing into my skin once it made contact. I could feel the sensation of it moving through my veins and into my heart, yosh! I did it!
Mana1/100
”I did it darling! I did it! This window says so!” I said pointing in front of me where the blue window is at. But sadly I only received his confused look.
‘If you say so... But never mind that, keep absorbing mana until you think you’re at full capacity.’ Rin said ignoring me.
Pouting because he didn’t even praise me I let out a hmph! I’ll show you face.
Absorbing more and more mana into my skin the numbers in the window in front of me started to go up as well.
Mana5/100
Mana28/100
Mana51/100
Mana76/100
Mana92/100
Mana100/100
Yosh my mana capacity is now full! Step one to being praised complete.
“What’s next? What’s next?” I asked slightly impatient in getting praised.
‘Next, Since your element is blood, meaning that you can control blood, all you need to do is use your mana to manipulate crimson red color inside blood.’ Rin wrote.
Blood magic!? So I can control blood!? This is the best day ever!! Haha!! So does that mean I can do this!?
Waving my hand in front of me I concentrated on the crimson color I see inside one of the knights that was quietly observing us eight meters away.
The knights paled after seeing my actions and were about to take action before I started manipulating their blood. Using my other hand as well I moved my hands like I was moving marionette puppets, controlling them like they were dolls!
Haha! This is fun!
-Rin P.O.V-
O boy... Even if it wasn’t mind control magic, she’s still forcing them to do things they don’t want to. Manipulating the knights to remove their armor and clothes, only to have them rape each other, then after five climaxes she made them chop of their own dicks and eat them, while she joyfully and maniacally laughs, enjoying the scene before her.O shadows Zilla what have you helped me create?
‘I-I don’t know, I didn’t expect this outcome at all. I thought she was just going to control the blood already on the ground, not the blood inside their bodies. But to think she would go as far as this…But you should be worrying more about yourself, imagine the things the girl can force you to do.’ Zilla said rubbing her forehead while she shook her head.
You’re right, I should be thinking of countermeasures.
‘Iris.’ I wrote to her.
“Yes darling?” Iris said joyfully still manipulating the knights to slowly slice their bodies with their swords, with the only thing the knights could do was scream in pain while suffering the tyranny of the being called Iris.
‘Promise you won’t ever use blood magic on me.’ I wrote to her making use of the blood binding contract.
“Tsk” Iris clicked her tongue.
‘Huh, what was that?’ I asked making sure she wasn’t misbehaving.
“Nothing-Darling~” iris said hesitantly.
Whew that’s a load off my back.
-Iris P.O.V-
Damnit! I should’ve killed the knights quickly then manipulated darling to do all sorts of things with me! Ugh! I’m going to take out my frustrations on these stupid knights! Ruining my chance at precious moments with darling, how dare you!
Making them to slice off their limbs and forcing them to eat it. I ended their pitiful lives by having them slit their own throat.
Mana10/100
“So darling~” I said looking at him with pleading eyes.
‘What?’ He asked looking indifferent to my pleading adorable eyes. You’re such a tsundere darling~.
“Aren’t you going to praise me for learning magic?” I asked saying what I want.
Letting out a sigh Darling wrote ‘Ya, ya good job.’ petting my head after.
Happily being petted like a dog, a window popped up in my head
Mission success
Darling affection points +10
Just you wait darling! I’ll get you at max affection before you know it!

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Something has upset the delicate balance the Sage created, however, and monsters sightings occur more and more frequently, and the signs of a second Calamity have begun to reveal themselves. At the same time, young superhumans begin training to fight against the forces causing this, to protect the mundane from monsters, and to ensure ancient artifacts are preserved and secured.

Persona Non Grata
After the events of Dr. Jose Rizal's second novel "El Filibusterismo", the story follows the tale of the former students Basilio and Isagani in the aftermath of the failed assassination plot against the most powerful governing political figures in the Delos Santos residence. Now a licensed doctor and a tenured businessman, Basilio and Isagani returns to the Philippines after their 10-year venture in Spain and in the United States to spearhead a large-scale project for the Spanish crown. For the first time in the history of the country, the Spanish government has allowed Indios to pioneer major public works, and the Filipinos, seeing this as major milestone of their race, welcomed it cheering and with open arms. It was also during that same year when the new Captain-General was appointed to the Philippines following the scandal involving the outgoing Captain-General, who sent an entire battalion of Indio conscripts to be deliberately slaughtered by a gang of tulisanes led by a man going by the name 'Matanglawin' (Falcon-eye). Leonardo Montes, the incoming Captain-General, was both feared and loved by his subjects. A close friend of the king and reputed for upholding honor, discipline and goodwill among his subjects, he won the confidence of the Cortes and of the Filipino people when political unrest arose during the tenure of his predecessor when he represented the Philippines in the high courts and won the case. However, Montes, now at the early days of his tenure, is faced with a huge and pressing problem: the widespread opium trade in the Philippines. Chinese immigration to the Philippines has increased at an exponential rate since his predecessor came to power and so is the circulation of the substance within the country. And to make matters worse, strange cases of killings and abductions began to terrorize the country, with the motives of the culprit unknown...
