FT/ Frozen Terror POV
Staring into its eyes I saw an amount of anger to march my own when I had saw the damage done to it.
I was shocked and yet even though it was looking at me I felt that the anger wasn't in fact directed towards me but as if she was angry at something incorporeal. Suddenly she froze and her eyes widened
as she slowly looked up my body and into my eyes. I grinned finally only took her a day and a half to wake up. Not sure when I began to think of it as a her but I am fairly certain looking directly upon her that it is indeed a female. Her eyes where wide as she started at my smile. She sat as if she was frozen in place. It was rather comical finally she calmed done some and relaxed as if resigned to some horrid fate. I couldn't help it as I collapsed onto my back laughing. After hugging my my self and rolled around trying not to die of laughter. I might have even kicked my legs a little. I rolled onto my stomach
and propped my head up again the look had gone from fear to an equal amount of anger... I blinked slowly and smiled. She suddenly started to laugh. It was high and clear like crystal chimes. She reached
out a hand to me palm down and I rolled to my feet and helped her up. She told me her name was Khione and I nodded showing I understood. As I didn’t quite trust myself to talk. After this half introduction she turned towards a far off mountain waved at me to follow and started walking without even glancing back to check if I was there. I felt slightly offended at this but followed her none the less.
I caught up pretty quickly using my longer legs to my advantage but I slowed down to fall in step beside her.
She didn’t slow down much if at all except for when she stopped sat down and pulled out a loaf of bread. She even kindly offered me one which I took. The look in her eyes when she dropped it into my hand was kind of strange with an odd glint in it. Ignoring this I opened my mouth and dropped the whole loaf in and tried to chew. This didn't work out so well when I felt one of my teeth fracture in my

mouth. I frowned as I looked down at her as she had burst out laughing at me when I had tried to eat it.
She took another bite of hers and I found that by eating that horror and death educing bread I had much more respect for her than before. After she was finished (spite that crap out as fast as I could)
we stood back up and continued our travels. We had long past interred a series of canyons most of it was uneventful in-till about half way through when I saw some hideous creatures they had four arms and six canines with an equal number of eyes. There was a party of six of them and I noticed that Khione
had stopped a little ways back and was studying them then she looked at me as if in challenge.
I blinked slowly at her she couldn't mean. Could she ? She crossed her arms in front of her and began to tap her left foot. Whatever I sighed inwardly and trotted towards the Creatures they blinked slowly at me as if confused that is in-till I picked one of them up and ripped it in half. The other five rushed me from all sides. However I wasn't scared at all as I towered over them. Grabbing two by the throat with my lower arms I flung them into two others knocking them down. I lunged forward grabbing the only one not incapacitated my the head and shoulder snapping its head to the side I whipped my head forward with my mouth wide open allowing my canines to ripe through its throat spraying hot tangy blood onto my my face and into my mouth. Throwing the mangled creature away for later. I turned to my left towards two other who had recovered from the collision, but where paralyzed in fear gripping the first by its shoulders I tightened the fingers on my lower right and into a curved point and thrust it up through its belly and ripped its still beating heart out. And with my left and I dragged the right leg of the other out from under it. Throwing the heart into my mouth I pounced on the downed creature and used the sharp edges of my upper hands thumbs to push into its skull and crush its brain.

Right afterwords I was thrown forward as the two to the right had recovered and grabbed their clubs which I hadn't noticed leaning against the canyon wall. By their fire.
With these they had hit me both in the back and on my head sending my body tumbling forward.
These two seemed to be seasoned in combat as they took a guarded stance using a four handed grip on their clubs. Which looked rather clumsy at first in-till I took a step forward and they spun both right and left sweeping their clubs down behind my knees throwing me onto my back using the momentum of their first attacks they swung their clubs low. I rolled right as fast as possible dodging one club narrowly but the other shattered my upper left arm. I did manage to drag down the one I had rolled towards. I quickly rolled forwards over its body and in passing hooked my forward right fingers into its
jaw ripping it off its face before I collided with the canyon wall. I dived to my right using the momentum of my rebound. Everything was slightly distorted but I could make out the last one stepping towards me. Crouching down my lower left hand touched a rock which I quickly coiled into my hand
spinning in my half crouch I used the force of this to lose the rock at its knees I missed the right but it did crash into the inner side of the left spinning the creature to its knees. I lunged forward right after the throw only to feel its club crash into my stomach. Knocking me to the ground. Sweeping its club down slightly over its head forcing me to duck it used the force for a second swing this one straight down. Using my legs and lower hands I dived up and into his attack allowing its hands and pummel of the club to hit me on my already shattered left side using my lower left and upper right to rise it slightly off the ground I punched my lower right hand trough its stomach grabbing its spin and ripping it side ways. With this I throw it to the ground and crushed its last bit of life with my right heel.
Standing up I started to shake badly and fell to my knees the pain of my shattered arm finally making its way into my brain crippling me with the agony. As I looked around I saw Khione calmly sitting on a rock a little ways away eating an other piece of that horrid bread and she just wave at my slightly.
With a rather smug look on her face. I crumpled to the ground feeling the world go black.
Khione POV
watching Terror fight was the most amazing thing I had ever seen in my life and I was very pleased with my new skills. Completely wiping any past misgivings about losing my lifeline.
As I watched him crush the skull in of the last one he sank to his knees and slowly looked around when he spotted me I waved at at him. Pleased with his skills that is in till it just collapsed on the ground like a puppet with its strings cut. Sliding off my seat I felt somewhat guilty at making him fight them all.
Walking over to him I used my ice connection to from a sphere of ice over him nine layers thick sitting down beside his egg I asked the ice to heal him placing both hands on his sphere and closed my eyes looking through my ice connection at all the damage done to him both external and internal. The outer shell of his being was flowing back together as if it had never broken and his shattered arm was slowly regenerating absorbing up ice into him body to repair the damage. It was extremely slow and if I even moved my hand slightly away it stopped altogether. Resting my head on my hands I went to sleep
hoping I didn't have to be awake to manage his healing. I would check when I woke up to make sure....
Hope you enjoy...

8 152Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

The outside world now slowly unfolds. ------------------------------------------------- BTW, since the review title wasn't edited. I have to say, my work is not a poem compilation. I'm writing fiction. But I'm not a writer, I'm just a reader. :) P.s ------------------------------------------------- Story Progress: 1. Blurb is fulfilled on Chapter Three and Chapter Four 2. Story Arc One, The Savior is fulfilled on Story Arc Five 3. Yes, there is fighting scenes. Three Calamities have been Eliminated in Dandia -- The wide island. 4. The prologue is nearing to begin. 5. Too many conflicts. ------------------------------------------------- Past tense - When I just narrate a past without much actual actions. I mean like a news, or just telling or reporting the past. Present tense - Current event. And flashback with actions. I love flash fiction so world building is not on this story, like narrating a room, narrating a character's traits, etc. As possible, I want them to think, have their decision, etc. etc. etc. etc. Hallo guys, Help me locate my typos on Story Arc 5. I still don't want to edit Story Arc 1-4. I can't wait to reach story arc Chapter Six(I won't spoil). My outlines and very huge flowcharts are waiting. Sorry, about that, I can understand English without format so, each time I'm looking for typos I was hooked in my story and I didn't realize I forgot about them.

Our protagonist faces harsh challenges as they get summoned to an unpopulated land with nothing to their name, not even their own name, as it was stolen by the System, and fight against the never-ending problems that surrounds them, such as climate, monsters, and loneliness! This is my first, ever, story. Any criticism will be delightfully accepted. Also, the main protagonist will be given neither gender nor appearance. You can Imagine them as you prefer.
