Village improvements.
--
Mars didn't feel that he needs sleep right now
So he just thought up of finishing some other buildings.
..
He made barrier pillars all around the village border.
He cut up a road inside the forest, straight to the next continent and also placed a barrier.
The blacksmith factory would be a tricky build so he decided to put it up later.
A dojo made from all wood and some stone was created in the middle of the oval.
A Japanese style bathhouse was made near the so called inn.
It has a set of mana crystals under it. One set produces water and one set produces fire.
He tampered with this mana crystals to produce fire magic when given a certain amount of mana, it still uses wood as fuel but the mana crystals reduce the fuel consumption by half.
He just played with all of the mana crystals that the miners had gathered.
Apparently, mana crystals are plenty resources that can be found in any cave or the likes so there would be no problem with the supply.
One crystal that he created produces ice cubes when inserted with mana and one crystal that emits wind magic.
These crystals were enclosed in a square formed rock with some slits on it(rock made Air Con). It somehow takes 8 hours before any need for mana recharging but if you put another non tampered crystal next to the already made sockets , the standby time would double.
He decided to call it
..
On each streets were slender pillars with somehow scythe looking edge and a glowing mana crystal on the tip making the alleys bright.
The gaps on each houses was quite spacious so he decided for people to make each of a garden on their own for the backyard purposes.
It was almost dawn when he finished so he decided to take his primary goal.
...
He flew up high and sent a mana sonar, few minutes later he teleported to a certain location which was near the ocean.
It was still early for morning so he decided to scoop a big amount of salt water bubble and conjured a fire under it.
The water bubble that slowly turns into salt would fall down a certain circle straight to his space inventory.
When he was finished, he then teleported to some other place to pull out some type of crops and spices, leaving a mana crystal for the one sided exchange.
..
When on his way back, he hunted some boars again now including a giant boar which size is about triple to Kuma.
In the center square he used the fireplace that he created and made a boar stew.
This time with salt,spices and some vegetable. It was a pretty large earthen pot the he just created.(water came from his water magic)
By this time some people are already up. He invited them to have a meal until the whole village lined up and ate.
"COME HERE AGAIN AFTER BREAKFAST."(mars)
He said to the people for them to begin the daily mana exercise.

When exercise began, he also included on how to produce mana on their own by willing it.
When elder Jones did it, it was a half red half green light.
He didn't knew the meaning of this but he assumed it to be a dual element.
Curious as to what his affinities were.
He created a ball of light.
As to his wonders, it was purplish black light w/c resembles the void in outer space. Its probably because of his affinity.
"quite an affinity huh."(elder Jones)
Mars just nodded.
"mine was dual affinity, though it doesn't mean I can use other elements but this two were just my strongest and would be easiest for me to use.
By the way I'm at former Master rank. Since I specialize with wind and fire all I can do was to destroy and not to build. I regret as why can't i build new magic anymore when I reached this age."(elder Jones)
"hmmm.. Old man..(mars)
"what is it Mars -dono"(elder Jones)
..
..
"want to fly?"(mars)
The elders face cant be drawn as to how ridiculous this statement to be but seeing the smug on this young persons smile he just couldn't help it.
Mars then teleported them to the outside of the village and told elder the basics.
Since the first step was to float, he decided against it.
--
He told him to create a small amount of wind magic and ignite with a fireball to launch his self up.
Further instructions. He told him that when he was above he decided to use the concept on how airplanes fly. On how to turn he just told him to use the technique on taking off.
Thus elder Jones rocketed up in the air. For the first few seconds up in the air he didn't do anything. He understood the concept well. He was trying to do this all of his life.
The only part missing was the fireball to launch his self or use it for sudden turns and acceleration.
For this type of magic, he surpassed his self of being a grandmaster.
--
The problem was...
He crashed.
After a few minutes of flying,boosting and rocketing in the air.
The only concept that they both forgot was.. Landing.
When mars would fly he would teleport himself to the ground thus he didn't even need to land. Elder Jones was too happy of learning this new magic and forgot everything.
Realizing that they both messed up the two laughed it off like freaks in the middle of nowhere.
Elder got some bruises and torn clothes so when mars healed him the torn clothes remained.
When they teleported in the village. The people were busy cutting up the remaining woods to make their own furniture.
The farmers were also on work with Annie riding on kuma's back.
There were children playing on the square but he didn't like children playing on the road so he will make a playground later.
Only thing left was the miners x blacksmiths peoples work.
He then gathered this people and brought them to an empty space near the mine.

The mine was near to the river so stones were no problem.
Then he made a tall pillars with earthen roof with several holes for the chimneys.
Then the miners would get their own stones and mars would cut it into bricks to make their own forge.
Thus when it was finished, the people immediately rushed in the mine and start their work, he told them to make arrowheads for first.
Back to the square.
There were jobless people which was either disabled, old, children or women that don't do work.
He then healed those whom he can heal and that produced only 5 able people to work.
He then gathered the women and children to the dojo.
Many of them were mothers and children of 12 yrs old above.
He then began the exercise, he told that if they could defend their selves
No one would bully them thus he made them run in the oval.
All of them didn't even finished half and their already dead tired.
Thus he just told them to make bows and arrows.
These arrows were all made of wood with no feather holdings or something, just for arrows.
And for a while he made them eat which they ate greedily because they considered this was delicious.
In the afternoon, he made them run again with same results. When they recover,
He would make them copy him with some kungfu like movements and kata after that he nudged them to make arrows then feed them.
Thus the daily life of women and children would turn out to be like this everyday.
---
Meanwhile, woodworkers don't have their own workshop so he decided to make a Lumberjack factory far from the mine.
..
Afternoon
This time of the day, every people would gather and begin the mana breathing exercise(as they call it).
But this time there was something different.
Some people began to notice a significant change in their breathing and felt that maybe they could control it.
Mars instructed this people to produce a light of mana on their palm and somehow it appeared.
These people were happy to be able to use mana. Their respective colors where red,blue,green and red again.
4 people who got it first would be hired to maintain the barrier.
They would be under elder Jones for some spell training and will later come to mars to improve it.
Thus in this free time of the day.
He made everyone run to the oval that he made.
The peoples faces looks like that of elder Jones when he mentioned of flying.
When the people reached the oval, they saw their families making strange movements that felt like dancing through air.
"Ill make you do that later so for now, Run, first come first serve."(mars)
He then started to cook for the people.
Seeing this, the people started to run not minding this exercise to those who collapsed would be brought by the women to the dojo to rest.
-------
The village was now complete but they don't have specialties.
Not for long.
He took some men to the forest to teach them some hunting.
Using the bows and arrows that the women and children built mars forced them deep in the fores to hunt monsters.
The first encounter was a giant spider.
He brought a total of 20 people to be sent out by fives.
The first five almost died but then mars prevented it by layering a barrier to those who have fallen.
He didn't healed them until going home for them to be afraid of pain.
This hell hunting continued on several days until these people can now gather in their own.
Several days after.
The blacksmiths x Miners have created plenty of materials such as knifes, swords and arrowheads etc.
Thus he made them to do some "spring"
Yup, a spring made of iron in a coiled manner.
The BMs (blacksmith miners) didn't know its use but they just complied.
On the farm were several types of animals a being bred the crops are also doing good.
He made the lumbers to make several orders of bed on with some small springhole in it.
...
The springs and beds were done.
The bedsheets and pillows were made of monster leather and fur which makes it somehow hard but good enough to sleep on.
But the supposed to be hard looking beds would be nothing under the springs that were on the bed.
..
On a part of the forest he found rubber trees. These trees sap was used to produce rubber.
..
The inn have 3 floors with twenty rooms each floor. Pretty big huh?
This also have the custom made beds and two on each floor. The first floor only have 10 rooms because of the reception area.
The townhall was just a big as the inn in front of it but with fewer rooms.
The rooms were big and have individual showers and mana cons.
This rooms would be allocated for VIPs.
The BMs were informed of the rubber and mars told them the use of it.
He told them that it was best used as a grip and they tested it.
The result was a success. The rubber grip made a knife more easy to grasp and but it feels kinda sticky.
He also introduced his own designed springed rubber armor.
It was an armor with light metal as the inner vest and several hundred mini springs all around and another set of metal. The metal was covered with dense rubber covering the whole vest.
They tried it to a dummy and attacked it with a downward swing.
The sword bounced up and was parried by the armor.
The BMs were shocked.
Non of them knew an armor that would parry a normal attack.
Then they tried and arrow.
An arrow was shot... But didn't do much damage. The arrow embedded into the rubber but didn't penetrate it up to the deepest layer.
Thus an almost impregnable rubber armor under that things was made.
..

Epilogue
Revised version now available! Amazon paperback, ebook, audiobook, Kobo, B&N, Google In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery, they brought peace to a warring land on the brink of destruction. As the flames died, the realm needed strong leadership, and who better than the champions who had saved the kingdom? But when the people sought out their saviors... they vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl: the four mysterious companions, who together had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives, were gone—spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, never to return. The friends found themselves home in the real world, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed... except only three came back. Hi there! This was my entry for National Novel Writing Month, because why only write one series at a time? The more the merrier! (meanwhile, my keyboard bursts into flames...) I'm also the writer of The Last Science, an ongoing low-fantasy/speculative sci-fi series. If you're familiar with that, you know what to expect here: lots of character-focused drama and dialogue, not a whole lot of traditional action. However, I'm writing a bit differently than usual here, and in a very different structure, so there should be some surprises for returning readers. I hope you enjoy it! [Discord] — for those of you who want to hang out and chat. Cover art (fullsize): Path of Revelation, by taenaron (Tobias Roetsch), modified by Etzoli. Normally I like to do my own cover art from scratch, but I was in a rush for the contest. Might be replaced down the line if I get time.

8 146I Only Wish I Had a Cliché Adventure
There are many legendary stories about the greatest hero ever known. A hero who owns many names. Or that's how the public speaks of him. The truth, however, is something very different. The real story talks about a man, whose life was filled with books and his own made-up adventurer stories. But as he ran out of his parent's inheritance, he was forced to get an odd job. But what he ended up doing was accidentally killing the strongest Demon King known. As the law stated, he gained the strongest title one can have - Hero. The title so powerful, that even the greatest show some respect. But sadly, that was only the beginning of his story. As a fresh title owner, he now had responsibilities of the hero, which weren't easy. Being weak - without any known powers or experience - there was now a lot on his plate. And not all responsibilities and worries were about fighting or even dangerous... This is the writing of the legend himself. The Nameless Hero's Chronicles. But then again... Let the man speak for himself... ---- Thank you, everyone, who have decided to follow my writing. I appreciate each and every one of you.

8 138Glitch — Alpha [Swedish] [Svenska]
Otilia jobbar på förskolan när ett barn försvinner rakt framför ögonen på henne. Sekunder efteråt kommer barnet tillbaka, som att inget hänt. Hon tror att hon är överarbetad, men när försvinnanden börjar hända överallt och de som kommer tillbaka inte är sig själva, förstår Otilia att något, någonstans gått riktigt snett. När hon och hennes pojkvän får en idé om vad som kan vara orsaken gör de allt för att informationen ska komma fram till rätt personer. Detta är en skräck/thriller som innehåller ganska mycket blod och våld. Även mot och med barn. Om detta stör dig råder jag att du håller dig borta. Detta är också den första boken jag någonsin skrev (2015, och knappt rörd sedan dess) och var ämnad att bli en trilogi. Eftersom den bara har legat och skräpat i hårddisken under alla dessa år tänkte jag att jag lika gärna kunde släppa den här. Trevlig läsning! ********* For English readers: (Might as well add this information in English to save the lovely souls looking through our works some time) I probably won't translate this work, but I'm working on another translation within YA, if that's something you'd be interested in. This one's horror/thriller, so.. yeah. Maybe sometime in the future. Otilia works at a daycare when a child disappears. Seconds later, the child reappears, like nothing had happened. She thinks she's worked too much, but when disappearences start to happen all around the globe, she and her boyfriend realize that something has gone really, really wrong. When they get an idea about what could be the cause, no matter how unbelievable, they will do everything in their power to get the information to the right people. This was my first-ever-novel and my first gamelit story (though I had no idea that was a thing/genre at the time). This novel contains a lot of violence and blood and can be uncomfortable to read for some people. There is also some violence from, and off-screen violence to, children.
8 185Someone Like Adam
"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?...#1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019)#1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)
