《The Games That Bind Us》Chapter 25 - Ice Cold Cave
Advertisement
I was resting on the ground trying to get comfy however I noticed the air was getting cold, I warmed myself Up with Fire Magic, I could spare that as using Fire Magic for something so simple cost Less Mana then I made in a second. so I kept it up. after some time the cave started to get Very cold. I just warmed myself up with Fire Magic and Ignored it.
[Fire Cloak: Cover yourself in fire, temperature increases depending on how much Mana you put into it per second and skill Level]
Simple enough, as soon as I got the skill it became easier to warm myself up. however looking around I saw that the cave as getting much colder, I decided to find a place that was warmer. as I walked around I found no place in the Cave that was warmer then the other, and I found that some of the water I saw earlier was freezing into Ice.
So that was the Idea, make me find away around the weakness of a Dragon Slayer. well I can use Fire Magic however this is a good chance to develop some new skills. With that in mind I expanded my hot aura around the cave, melting some of the ice and pushing back the cold. this still counted as fire cloak however it was on a bigger scale to help level up the skill and to warm up the cave.
after 20 minuets I started to run low on Mana so I brought in my Fire Cloak to wrap around me like a blanket, I felt warm and cosy. so I left it like that and rested.
(1 week later)
the cave is still constantly getting colder however with all this practice my Intelligence and Wisdom are near 100. my Fire Cloak is also near evolving. I am finding this easy however I fear for anyone who is not a Gamer can cant get Mana back as fast and easy as me.
(3 Days Later)
[Intelligence has reached 100, a new skill has been added]
[Multitasking: You can now cast 3 spell at the same time, amount increases with skill level and Intelligence]
[Wisdom has reached 100, a new skill has been added]
[Third Eye: all your senses work together forming one sense that you can focus on and get much more information from depending on wisdom and Skill level]
that could be useful the 3 spells at the same time will help me level the my other skills instead of just Fire Magic. with that in mind I pull a dragon bone out from my inventory and make a sword using Dragon Claw. with this sword I cut myself. I then heal the cut with Healing Magic. and repeat the cycle for a few minuets until the blade gets blunt. I then focus Mana around the Blade and try to reform the blade into what it was before, its Durability has been lowered from use but I am willing to bet there is a way to raise Durability with Mana. however after trying I fail and the durability decreases. I try again a few times and loose a few swords however after 5 minuets an 3 more Bones I did it.
[Mana Repair: You can now repair items by using Mana, only if you have that Mana to repair it. Repair costs depend on the item being repaired, skill level and Intelligence]
with this new skill I start cutting my self, it trains vitality as well, I then heal myself, and repair the blade. all while keeping Fire Cloak on me.

(the next day)
[Fire Cloak has Evolved into Advanced Fire Cloak: you can now cover yourself in Lava and Plasma. Mana costs depend on skill level and Intelligence]
this made things more easy with this new skill I sat back and rested, before I thought of another thing to grind, Electric Magic. Electricity can move faster then most people and once fired is near impossible to avoid, maybe I can use it to increase my speed? it has been done before so why not try it. I gathered Electricity in my body however all I could do with it was make it shoot out of me or make it dance around me.
{Electric Bolt: Fire Off a charged bold of electricity, damage depends on how much Mana is used]
with that in mind I gave up on it for now and went back to my previous training.
Eron's Point Of View
Master has been in that cave for a long time, I go out and kill some Basic Dragons for food and use Water Magic to create water. I then cook it up in a stew and eat it, I offered some to Verod once however he said he does not like the taste of sleeping poison, he some how knew it. no mater what I do or say he wont let me see master. however I have decided to help master, Verod said the more I kill things the more help I am to Master because it gives him experience that he needs. so I kill a lot of Basic Dragons, I miss Master. one time I tried digging a hole to where Master was however Verod stopped me. I don't like Verod. Verod is evil.
Kate's Point Of View
The Feeling of wanting to kill someone has died down. it was around the time I burnt father into the ground with one of my new fire attack, the Advanced Fire Bomb. so I asume he was the reason however I still feel like I am missing something important. besides missing John...
John's Point Of View
It has been 6 months since I started and the Cave is colder then ever, my Fire Magic is hardly keeping my warm any more unless I use more Mana then I make per second, however my stats have increased thanks to basic training.
[Vitality has reached 200, you have gained a new skill]
[Defiant: if you block an attack you take 10% Less Damage]
[Strength has reached 200, you have gained a new skill]
[One Punch: if the first hit you throw at an opponent is a punch it deals 100 times more damage, damage increases with Strength and skill level]
[Dexterity has reached 200, you have gained a new skill]
[Walking Mastery: while walking you can move 5% Faster, percentage increases with skill level and dexterity]
[Intelligence has reached 200:, you have gained a new skill]
[Calculator: you can now think and process information 50 times faster]
[Wisdom has reached 200, you have gained a new skill]
[Greater Observer: you can now identify you chances of wining a fight with someone just by looking at them. however how you win or loose is unknown until you fight and find out]
with all this I decide to do some other training. maybe I can evolve Blink Step. I try and use blink step and regret it horribly. as soon as I use it my Fire Cloak does not teleport with me. I fall to the ground after most my body freezes solid. I use Advanced Fire Cloak and melt the ice with Lava. I then warm up with normal fire cloak.

that was close. I really can not handle the cold any more can I? oh well, anything else I can grind before I leave the cave? healing magic is getting close to evolving maybe that? with my mind set on healing magic I start cutting myself with the bone sword and after some time.
[Mana repair has evolved into Advanced Mana Repair: wepon's durability is repaired at a faster rate and costs less Mana]
[Healing Magic has now evolved into Advanced Healing Magic: you can now heal at a faster rate and costs less Mana]
and then I had an idea, I took some near by Ice and melted it into a potion glass. I have at least 20 on me at any given time. so I thought about creating a potion. I put as much healing Magic into the water as possible and sure enough.
[Healing Water: make water able to heal with great quantities of healing mana. heals 10,000 HP]
that could come in useful later, I make a few more and then train the remaining amount of time on one skill.
[Mana Eye projection has Evolved into 100 eye Projection: you can now Project 100 Mana eyes to scan the near by area at the cost of 1000 mana per second.]
just to note, 1 point in wisdom was the same as 3 Mana per second, I now had 238 points in wisdom so I now have 714 Mana per second. safe to say I was not running Low on Mana any time soon. however this move cost more then I could keep up per second, thus it is useless as a sensory skill, but for the sake of testing I used it, and suddenly I could see every part of the cave, not one spot was hidden from sight. maybe this would be helpful later on? as Mana eyes can see around things that can destroy Mana unlike my Sense Mana Advanced skill.
I switched off the skill and then Wondered how Eron and Kate were doing...
Kate's Point Of View
after so much hard work I finally did it, I can control my transformation for Ice Magic whenever I want, I just need to work on changing back... I wonder if John is still training? Oh well, I promised I would meet up with Michael later as he had something to tell me.
I walk to Michael's room and he is sitting there waiting for me, he then tells me something I did not want to hear.
"Hi Kate, I have been monitoring John using Sensory skills and have been deciding the pro's and cons of telling you this information and decided you will want to hear it. Verod has given John his final task and told me to let everyone know he will be returning soon along with his new pet" Michael said however sill holding back information. I knew John would be returning soon as it had been a Year and classes for second years would be starting next month.
"The bad news is John wont be able to be in the same room as you, his pet means he will have to move to a bigger room that has more space. you are free to move into the room created as the Headmaster is making it expandable with a lot of space however..." Michael stopped and could not say any more.... he just teleported me outside his room.
well at least John was coming back. right?
(1 Week Later)
I am waiting at the Gate into the Academy with the Headmaster and Michael, Michaels partner Lin is also here. and we see 2 figures in the distance walking to the academy ad a very fast speed. the 2 figures then slow down to a walk as they enter the Academy, one is John, he is wearing White and Gold Leather clothes, it has a golden hood with a white line around the edges, he is also wearing a leather top and leather trousers, he had some shoes and gloves with a sword that looks to be made of dragon bones, it has strange Runes on the side and John looks like a true Dragon Slayer.
next to him is... a female, with dragon wings and a dragon tail, she has the same clothing as John except with holes in the back for a tail and wings to go through, as well as what looks to be ears of a dragon. wait is this the pet Michael mentioned? no, I can not jump to conclusions.
"Eron, this is the 3 Fists Academy, we will be stating here until we graduate." John said to Eron who smiled at him
"Yes master" Eron said in a polite tone. wait don't tell me that she is the pet? since when??? I walk over to John and John turns to me.
"Hi Kate, long time no seeGRAA" John was about to say something before I froze him in Ice, not in a way that would Kill him just trap him in that one spot. I made sure he could still hear me.
"Don't you 'long time no see' me, you spend a year in that Dragon Continent and you bring back a woman?" I said in a angry lecturing tone, Father looked at Eron before laughing a bit. "So you are Eron, so how did John meat you?" I asked and she smiled.
"he said if I did not help him he would rip of my wings" Eron responded. I looked at John who had teleported out of the Ice.
"its not what it looks like or sounds like" John said to me. I am sure it is not however if you spend a year away from me I am going to pick on you at least this much. I turn to Eron.
"How far have you gotten with John?" I ask and she looks at me confused. "I mean lover wise" I add and she nods at me before moving over to John and k..kissing him... I ran over and pulled her off. "w.. WWhat do yyou think you aare doing?" I ask with a stutter. she cant just do that. John is not hers. I look at John who gets up and is probably about to explain things but father jumps in.
"its ok Kate, Eron here is a Dragon, not human, so you don't need to worry about anything" Father said, I remember my Biology and remember that Human's and Dragons cant reproduce as we are way to different with reproductive systems. however that is still no reason to kiss them.
"John, we need to talk..." Before I could finish my lecture I fell asleep, damn it John. stop doing that.
John's Point Of View.
Don't worry Kate, any moment now I may just get a helping hand here. I said as Eron went over to me and hugs me while separating me as much as possible from Kate who was now sleeping.
[Charm has reached 200, a new skill has been added]
[Words Of Charm: Just by talking your charm stat makes whichever girl you are talking to calm down from any anger and depending on skill level and charm stat can work as an aphrodisiac]
interesting. maybe this will help? "Eron, would you please try and get along with Kate? she is my partner so we have to get along" I said and to this Eron nodded and stopped trying to separate me from Kate, however she did try to kiss me however to try and keep things going smoothly I put her to sleep... this will be a long day...
"So Conner, is that room I asked you to make available, here is the 100 Basic Dragon scales as promised" I said while summoning 100 scales from my inventory. Conner was amazed by it, I was not, I had countless Basic Dragon Scales, this was nothing in terms of cost, Conner the brought me to my new room. Michael gave up on me halfway through and left with his partner. I entered the room which was in the same place as the previous one except it had some adjustments. it was now much bigger. the entrance was huge and it had a big kitchen to the left of the door upon entering, to the right of the door there was a full table and chairs, there was a gaming area at the far end of the room and there was two doors, one led to the bathroom which was more like a swimming pool and it even had some plants and trees growing around it. the toilets were through another door except this time there was a Male and Female separator. I then walked back through there to look at the bedroom, which was huge, there was Sofa's to sit and rest on and 1 bed... I am sure I asked for multiple beds this time... oh well, I got used to sleeping on rocks, the Sofa is good enough for me.
"Conner, you did a great job" I said while putting Kate and Eron down on the bed, the bed was double the size of a queen sized bead. I wonder if he is thinking my charm ability will attract more women? damn it, I fell right into his plan. I am not sure why he is trying to get me into a harem but he is doing something... that or is assisting while my charm stat does most the work.
"Thank you, however you should sleep now, it is a big day tomorrow with those two on your hands" Conner said with a smile, then he did a spinning kick which... I ignored thanks to OP abilities, I pretended to fall unconscious however that bastard knew, Conner hit my 3 more times and I got a blue message.
[You have been knocked out by Conner White]
[Saving.... the game has been saved]

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
