《They came by the dozen (Dropped)》Journal of the OP-Weapon Smith chapter 4 part 2
Advertisement
Heyo it has been about a century since my very last journal entry and not much really happened just more training, more studying, more experiments and that's just about it.
All the beings both humanoid and creatures have gained sentience well a more clearer version than before and it also seems like humanoids and creatures work in pairs which is a good idea to be honest. Both humanoids and creatures treat eachother as siblings and not master and slave which is great because they both are equal in strength so if they fight both will end up being killed.
The main consciousness is known as Sebastian because well we looked up top five butler and maid names and so they all have names that are commonly used, the "Crafter's Den's" consciousness is named "Alfred", the "Relaxation's" consciousness is named "Martha", the "Library's" consciousness is named "Chives" you'd expect the place being called "Merlin" but no didn't like and also "Chives" is a female, the "Reception's" consciousness is named "Geoffrey" and the "Dorm's" consciousness is named "Berta" she's a bit on the foul mouthed side but she does her job well and she is actually quite nice inside that tough exterior.
For the beings that look after the "Garden" they all have names corresponding to nature which they seemed to like if I remember correctly the youngest cell named them all which was nice of them. The oldest cell meaning my cell named the beings manning the outer wall, the second oldest cell named those beings manning the middle tower and last but not least the second youngest cell named the beings who are manning the innermost wall. This us about five years to do and by the way it took away some of our mana which is odd but who cares.

There were also some skirmishes from the Immortal's army but nothing major. We crafters made equipment for every beings humanoid and creatures that gained sentience, the equipments were made with the same functions as our extra weapons which included the function to change forms. Every equipment were specially created to fit the wearer and also all of the sentient beings are still children of the age of 12, which meant that we also added functions that it will fit the wearer no matter what. We also started teaching the kids and their partners combat forms that all twelve of us have way beyond mastered and improved. This took about two to three decades to complete the training and a lot of patience as we realised that everyone have some things they're good at and at the same time have some things they're bad at, we almost forgotten that part. We just figured that because they're basically gods that they'll be able to do everything like us but it seems not. The first thing we taught them is how to control their strength and how to hide it then we taught them how to sense power. this two parts took the longest as they're mindsets are those of children but it also helped. We taught them a lot of things from mercantile to crafting to sneaking and all sorts of things. The walls were all wide enough to make big towns on. We got them to build their own houses without our help but it looked like apartments because from the outside it doesn't look big but when you go inside it's bigger than it looks, well it seemed that the walls also have that ability. We all bestowed them the ability to use the internet to a point we made sure to put safe mode on several websites if you know what i mean (https://lashingsoflucy.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/wink-emoji.jpg).

We actually had a meeting that took about 7 decades to finish but it was all worth it. The topics of our discussions range from territorial meaning which part is ours alone to look after and do what we want with it, this one was the fastest one to complete because three kings per major directions I had my territory on the north part and got the middle one which was perfect for me.
While the longest topic which took about 4 decades to finish was about the training of our knights and what's the requirements to get in and also what we could bestow upon them. We decided that all of our Knight Orders will follow separate specialization and pursuits but there will be similarities just like us twelve, it was also decided that every recruit will be trained by every knight order training course.
The preferred age are children between the age of 4-5 years old because they are the ages that are optimum to be taught and make a great base to build up from, of course there won't be a lot of deadly experiences but there are some to teach them the experience that no matter how strong you are there are always people better than you but the very first thing we would teach them is humility and to know when to and not to show their real power.
The last 2 decades were used to decide if whether or not we will get our knights to sign a blood contract and a have them make an oath. It was immediately agreed that we will have them make an oath and sign a contract. The thing that took a a decade and a half were the contents of the contract and the other half was for the contents of the oaths and whether or not we make multiple oaths or just a single one. It was decided that every order will have their own oath but we will have a single bigger oath that shows that even if we are divided we are united.

8 149Travels of a spirit fox
When the village she watches over is destroyed in a civil war Gyoma, a kitsune is trapped in the mortal realm. With a letter adressed to the brother of a man she killed, a lord chasing her and a desire to find a way home she begins her journey I created this story as a school project and it consumed all my writer's motivation for a year. I am now going back off hiatus and am allowed to post this here. Due to the constraints of the project I feel it is more condensed than I would have liked but I won't change that. lots of research went into this.
8 122Corpse Crawler
Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
