《I'm clueless in another world.》Chapter 4
Advertisement
I opened the status screen and once again staring at it.
Tsukasa Tsutsukakushi.
Level 2.
Skill point: 2.
Health(regen per day): 33(8)
Magic(regen per day): 24(16)
Stamina(regen per hour): 42(8)
I rubbed my chin, seemed like everything was raised by 5, and the regeneration raised by 3. Another thing that I noticed was that my magic and stamina had been restored into its maximum value, didn't know about health though.
Anyhow, I had a slight idea of what I should do on the skills.
First, considering I didn't know for how long I would stick in this place, focusing on magic might be not a good idea. Indeed, as far as my experience went, even the most disappointing magic like direction was very useful in the right circumstance, the problem was the limited amount of magic I could use in a day.
Second, but at the same time, I needed a fire either as a light source or a heat source. If my gaming experience and knowledge were right, it was the right job for the evocation or the transmutation. Then again, I didn't want to invest in a skill I wouldn't use.
Anyway, as the starters with a face full of hesitation, I put the skill points into the transmutation.
Tsukasa Tsutsukakushi: Divination 1, Transmutation 0 → 1, Unarmed 1. Skill point 2 → 1.
"Congratulations! You have learned Transmutation Magic Lvl 1, please choose four of the following effects. Warning, once you choose the effects it can't be undone."
"...This is a big joke, right?!"
The number of the available made me wanted to cry, I counted there were 49 skills, and I could only pick 4?! not to mention I should do this without knowing any of their effects.
Anyhow, from the name of the skills such as claws, mold earth, blade of grass or gust, it seemed the transmutation skills was focusing on controlling, and changing properties or shape of the existing object.
This time I sat down, thinking very seriously about the skill that I should take, I meant from the 49 skills, one of those skills must be useful to create a fire... but no, the most fire-ish spell was Control flame,
"A bad luck huh... well whatever. Ah, this one seems interesting."
-Abracadabra: Create a minor magical trick. Cost: 1 Magic. Range: 10 meters.
-Butcher: A corpse you touch is taken apart into its component parts. Cost: 5 Magic.
-Launch: Touch up to 3 objects weighted less than one kilogram and launch them toward your target. Damage: +1. Cost: 3 for each object.
Advertisement
-Mending: Repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch. Cost: 10 Magic.
Alongside this, my Magic and its regeneration raised by 3.
And surprisingly, even though I only took the skill with its name as the basic assumption, everything except launch was a jackpot, at first I thought launch would launch myself, kinda like a boost to my jump power but the end result was something that totally different, it wasn't that bad, but I just couldn't find any use for it.
Most likely because I didn't know how the damage system worked. I meant, just how much a +1 damage was? If I launched one into the target head, one into the target heart and one into the target shoulder, would they receive the same damage?
But that was a question for another day, it was unproductive to think about something that I had zero ideas about.
Back to the skill, Mending name was kinda self-explained, Butcher was a misclick though I kinda hoping it was an attacking skill but Butcher skill description wasn't that bad either, in fact, I would say it was an okay one.
And the real jackpot was Abracadabra, even though I only picked it because it had a unique name, compared to the others, that would mean this was a good one, right?. And indeed, it was a very versatile skill, if I snapped my finger I could burn any burnable object, the fire wasn't that big, but I could use the grass and several other things to feed the fire. If I clapped my hand I could clean or soil any object with a volume less than 1 meter. And there were several other functions, even though none of them could be used for a battle, but for survival and out of a battle activity Abracadabra was the MVP.
Next, I tried to raise unarmed combat but nothing happened. So it seemed the requirement was two skill points to raise it into level 2, and three skill point for level 3.
Well, I have an alternative plan though. Learning from the last encounter, I guessed it would be best if I didn't receive any kind of damage.
Tsukasa Tsutsukakushi: Divination 1, Movement 0 → 1, Transmutation 1, Unarmed 1. Skill point 1 → 0.
"Congratulations! You have learned Movement Lvl 1!"
Huh, except for my health, health regeneration, stamina and stamina regeneration raised by 1, 2, 3 and 6. Other than this, I didn't get any other skills.
Nevertheless, with the skill to create a fire, I started backtracking my way, searching for the goat herd.

After spending some of my time, I finally found the herds. But if I took a good look, unlike the goats from the earth these goats were every colour, shape and size. The only thing each had in common was their majestic horn; making me wondered if all of those goats were all male, or the female goats in this place also grew a horn.
I walked casually across the grassy field. In my eyes, I didn't see goats at all, just food, grilled meat and even though I was sure enough letting my thought leaking out, none of the meats was going away. They weren't afraid of humans? Anyhow those meats were making a dumb mistake.
I strolled around, curiously looking around until I found the meat that was eating on the outer circle, a little bit separated from the other meats.
With a deep breath, I walked to the lonely meat. It nonchalantly ignored me and kept munching on the grass.
Then, there was a blood on my knuckles and bruise on the goat's head, and with another punch this time I got what I wanted.
So I needed two punches to destroy the goat skull but I only needed one to broke the orc muscular arm?!
Now I was very curious about the rule of this world. Though, as I was blankly staring at my bloodied fist, the herd behind me started bleating around, thrashing on the ground.
Under the swirling brown blur of the dust, I didn't know what I had to do. Unlike that time, when I was fighting the orc I only needed to see and concentrate at one target, but this time I was overwhelmed by the sheer number as I foolishly stood and watched the other goats running away.
A few seconds had passed and I still petrified. No, it wasn't a fear, this time my limbs and body weren't shaking, maybe it was confusion. I completely dumbfounded as I had no idea of what I should do. Should I run away? or should I chase after them? Then which one? The one with the smallest horn? The nearest one? The smallest one?
As I watched the storm of dust slowly dissipated, I was biting my lips when I realized the difference between fighting against the hordes of enemy and fighting against a single enemy.
Indeed the goat wasn't a hostile one, all they ever did was running away from me, but what if they ran at my direction? that was most definitely a bad ending; getting stomped to death by a herd of goats.
I should've made a better plan for the next time I met the goats though, who knew... maybe next time they would decide to fight back rather than running away.
Then again, it was a matter for another time. Me hungry, me brain couldn't think.
I walked to the goat corpse and used Butcher.
For several minutes after I used Butcher, Hair was left the goat's skin, and the skin was stretched into a rectangular shape and folded. Then the meat was flying out, removing itself from the bones. The bones were completely clean and automatically arranged itself. The organs were removed and neatly arranged. The blood was floating around, circling for a few seconds before it drained into the ground, though I could see a small amount of blood dripping out from the meat. And it seemed like any part of the creature that was too rotten or to bad to use was rapidly decomposed into dirt.
Then I started collecting some grasses and used the bones as the base to make a simple bonfire.
"Abracadabra." I said at the same time as I flicked my finger, and a small fire lighted out.
Blowing the fire to make it big, using another straw of grasses as the fuel. And it didn't take long before the fire was burning consistently.
Next, I broke the smaller bone and using it as the skewer for the meat.
And as I was clumsily roasting the meat then eating some then roasting it again then eating some again.
Until from behind my back, I heard another rustling sound. It was lighter than an orc, and I didn't hear any stomping either. Maybe it was a big slime? What a perfect timing, I really wanted to drink something right now.
But when I turned my head, my lips curled up into a big grin.
Indeed, it wasn't a slime, rather it was a human!!! And from her clothes alone I could tell she was an earthling, or maybe the people in this world was having the same fashion sense like us. But... there was one thing that bothered me though.
"Is... is that a food? Do...you understand me? Can you share some?" She said with a familiar language without looking at me.

The Princess And Her Warmonger
"Let me tell you a true story about a mouse and a Warmonger, and the unlikely relationship that sprouted between them in the time of endless war." Nostalisk is a world in endless constant war. The Factions of this world endlessly fight for power, this fighting called the Great Wars, a war that has been alive for over four million years. Currently, one of the largest Factions has withdrawn from the endless fighting. This Faction, known as the Kingdom, hopes to forget their past of endless bloodshed and how they were almost destroyed because of it. In the Kingdom, Princess Isalene, the only princess of the Kingdom, is stuck choosing a new personal guard after her previous one died. Despite her father, King Robert, helping her choose a new guard, Isalene decides to head to the arena to see how the knights on the list her father gave her act outside of the eyes of royals. When she arrives at the arena, she sees a knight fighting that is not on the list her father gave her. Named Cruel Knight, this knight is a vicious knight with confusing morals. Despite hating violence, Princess Isalene can't help but be drawn to the knight and their graceful yet cruel fighting style and strange weapons. Princess Isalene continues to watch them and soon learns that Cruel Knight is a Warmonger named Sharia, and is female at that, meaning she is a prisoner. She isn't in there for something simple as disobeying a direct order or killing a noble, but for prolonging a war. Despite knowing this, Princess Isalene can't stop thinking about the Warmonger and suddenly gets a "smart" idea. She'll make Sharia her new personal guard to find out more about her! What could go wrong? And so begins the odd relationship between Sharia The Warmonger and Princess Isalene. One is a peace-loving sheltered naive princess who hates violence and the other is a vicious, cold, twisted, and cruel Warmonger who hates the kind of peace Isalene and the current Kingdom loves. Polar opposites. Yet, even the Warmonger can't help but grow a strange liking to her new "annoyance". But, can the two really get along? After all, Sharia's whole mindset sees Isalene as a waste, and it seems that everyone Isalene talks to tells her to fire Sharia before something terrible happens. But, then again, during this time of budding danger, this odd couple may be what the Kingdom needs. After all, when a large faction such as the Kingdom starts growing soft and weak, they become a rather irresistible target. [After thinking on it, I decided to start a re-write of The Princess And Her Warmonger, adding more details, fixing the switching POVs somewhat, and fixing some of the issues with the story. Don't worry, all of the chapters are still here, I am just making new ones and replacing the old chapters one at a time] (This story can also be found on Scribble Hub and Webnovel) [Cover art is not mine]

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it.

On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind.

Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.
