《Magicat》Chapter 10 Pt2
Advertisement
Author's note: sorry about my lateness. I was lazy over the weekend. So meh. Enjoy.
Yen and Laia are seated at a table with stacks of books in front of them.
Laia: “Do you think any of these will have what you want in them?”
Yen: “Well… maybe. We just have to look for it.”
Laia: “Alright do you want to start at that end of the stack and I’ll start at this end of the stack?”
Yen: “Sounds good.”
Laia and Yen begin sifting through the books silently.
Yen: [Transmutation magic, Transformation magic, Immortality magic… none of those books seem to have what I am looking for.]
Laia: “Hey… Yen?”
Yen: “Yes?”
Laia: “What are you looking for?”
Yen: […] “Maybe something to turn me into something with a longer lifespan like a human or something else.”
Laia: “Okay.”
Flip. flip. Flip. The pages softly turn as time passes.
–Five hours later–
Laia and Yen continue to flip through the books. The pile is now considerably smaller. Laia is struggling to keep her eyes open.
Suddenly Yen sees a thin picture book in one of the other books.
Yen: [I wonder why this is in here?]
He takes it out and opens it up to the first page.

Once in the past, there was a great hero who could talk to animals. He ran around the world saving people and taming any beasts he saw.
One day his cat, his first tamed beast, was dying from age so he asked his good friend who was a master magician to freeze his cat to preserve its life until he could develop a solution.His friend agreed and the cat was frozen in time.
The development of the spell took many years but in the end he created a spell circle to turn his cat partially into a person. He unfroze his best friend and performed the spell on her and though he succeeded, his companion did not turn fully into a human but could freely transform between a cat form and a human form.

Even so, the hero and his companion continued their adventures together for the rest of their lives.
The End.

Yen: [This seems like what I am looking for… but I don’t know what the magic circle looks like.]
Yen ponders over the information contained within the picture book as he sits there.
Yen: [The magic circle might just be created from his imagination since magic in this world is based on the imagination of the caster.]
Laia is completely asleep now. Yen looks over at her and then jumps off the table.
Yen: [F**k it. I’ll just try it out and if it doesn’t work then oh well!]
Yen walks a little way away and sits under a skylight with the moon shining through it.
Yen: [Some paper and some of my blood should probably be enough as a medium for the spell.]
Yen takes a 1 meter by 1 meter sheet of paper from his interdimensional storage spell and lays it on the ground. Then he creates an ice needle and lightly pricks his finger. Blood begins to well up from the wound and Yen uses magic to guide it onto the paper to create the magic circle.
He draws one large circle taking up most of the paper. Then he draws a Venn diagram inside the circle with a rough image of a cat on one side and a rough image of a human on the other. In the middle there is a knot.
Yen stands on the cat side and tries injecting mana into the circle but nothing happens.
Yen: [Seems like I am missing something here? Perhaps I should get something in the human side as well?]
Yen looks around for something to put into the other end then sees that he seems to have a strand of Laia’s light blue hair stuck onto him.
Yen: [This should do.]
Yen places the hair into the circle and injects mana into the formation again. This time however, it starts glowing and the blood dries up and turns into a revolving circle of light as it floats half a foot into the air.
Yen: [Please let this work!]
*BANG!* an explosion of smoke appears as a result of the spell.
Author's Note: Haha! cliffhanger! There will be another part tomorrow since I have the time.

8 240The Archaic Elements
A fantasy world, its own unique power-up system, some mystery aspects to make it look interesting and an MC that should make sense but well messes up, cause plot. Flashy fights. Characters will use their brain, unless it is an arrogant young master that needs to be taught a lesson. The starting is slow and maybe boring. The main MC does not desire great strength or harbor any great ambition. He starts out as a naive, lazy and a boring person. But the story does hold one aspect which will fuel the growth of our MC, which is his boundless curiosity for adventure and his will to explore. The second MC is a reincarnation/transmigration and he has a clear cut aim that he needs to achieve. His past life experiences also becomes a pillar that will help guide the main MC, while his friend also supports him. The writing is slow and steady. I will provide reasonings behind most happenings and keep it a logical story. It's a WIP as I edit the previous chapters even as I release more, so while the content doesn't change, the style and smoothness improve. The current release rate is 3 chapter/week. There is no specific date as I can get sidetracked or forgetful., but I will try to stick to Tues, Thurs and Sunday releases.
8 146FREE
FREE (Free Reality Engagement Engine) is a new virtual reality game engine that completely gets rid of the limitations that all previous VR games had to deal with. The company that made the engine announced the launch of the first game created on it simultaneously, called FREE World. Sandra Kiell is a computer science major at UCLA and was working as an intern for Breeze Entertainment (the creators of FREE) during the announcement and was able to pre-order the game before it went public as a result. Not a hardcore player shes more interested in the having fun in FW and just wants to enjoy the game how she want's, but will the game and the people in it let her?This will be the first story I've written so I appreciate any feedback you wish to give me (how to improve my writing, character development, ect.). Also if you have suggestions for where you think the story might go I promise to consider them if you wish to share, if i use the idea I will give credit where credit is do.Warning:The mature tag is not a joke read at your own discretion. There will be bad language, descriptions of gore/bloody content, possible drug/alcohol references and possible sexual content depending on where I decide to take the story.
8 103Husk

As a member of the fifth and final wave of The Guards of Gaia, Jaxon and his peers are saddled with the hopes of the masses, who seek to find shelter in the coming storm. However, finding safety in this new world won't be easy, when even Gods and Demons are terrified of what lurks just beyond the veil.
8 121The Intelligent Ogre (Dropped for remake)
This novel is having a remake I will have it up soon. I decided to have a remake because when I read my story again it felt like I tried too hard to make it understandable (low English level) for all yet it just looked bad. So, I decided to start over and add a new beginning, characters descriptions, etc. Even the plot and system I made was changed. I hope to see you there.
