《The Administrator》Chapter 5: So you’re saying //translate exists?
Advertisement
That’s roughly what was written on the Tutorial, after correcting the spelling mistakes I made due to carelessness. I thought that what was written was much shorter than expected. It looked like a thick textbook, after all. However, most of it was completely empty.
A screen opened up in front of my face.
‘Would you like to choose a job?
Y/N
Type the answer in console’
Let me think this through. If I were to be hasty and pick a bad job, I will not be able to change it. Also, I may find a better job. It’s better to just wait and choose one after a bit of thought.
‘Console’
The screen appeared in front of my face.
‘Console
Please enter your command
N_
You have declined picking a job
Oh, yeah, may as well use the /help command while the console is open.
/help_
Player will receive list of commands
Another list appeared in my hand. This time, it is only one piece of paper. Is the amount of commands that I have so small? However, it makes a lot of sense, considering I’m only a level one with low stats.
Available commands:
/help: gives a list of available commands that has level requirements met and commands manually typed in. The paper cannot be seen by other players/characters.
/statusRedis: allows player to redistribute status points.
/temp.Boost:boosts a selected stat by 3 times for 5 minutes. 1 hour cooldown, mana cost 2 times the selected stat value. Multiplication values, time and value scale based on Int value and selected parameters.
/job.reSelect: Allows player to reselect job. Resets player level, job level and skills. Unable to change job: administrator.
/kill: Allows player to kill him/herself. Deletes all items, status effects, and death penalties apply. Respawns at a random location in the nearest town.

/consoleTutorial: Gives player item: TutorialBooklet.
/translate: Translates any language into another language. Format: /translate [language1] [language2], where language1 is the original language, and language2 is the language you want to read in.
What. The. F*ck.
So you were saying my one entire afternoon translating the original language into English, and then making sense of it was completely useless? They should’ve shown me that that was a thing before I started! F*ck!
After cursing at the system for the rest of the afternoon, I decided to use the /translate command.
Console
/translate local_language Chinese
Local language has been translated to Chinese. Type //undo to undo
At least now I won’t have a problem with language again.
I thought about what I learnt from the two papers. First of all, why is every chapter after the first redacted? I flipped to the fifth page, to see if reading it was at least possible. The pages appeared blurry and when I tried to squint and read it, a window appeared in front of me, and wrote:
Level requirements not met 1/5(1/2)
Formatting: 1/5 is character level, (1/2) is job level. (TN: outside of brackets refers to current character levels/character level requirement, and in the brackets are current job level/job level requirement)
Damn it. Why give me such a thick stack when you only allow me to read 2 pages? Wait, two jobs? Aren’t people with two jobs normally trash chars? Does that mean I am an op MC in the future? [Spoiler](not for the near future, not sure if will be so in the later chapters though, depending on whichever direction the story goes) (TN: those are author’s notes, not mine) I decide to try out the other commands, and mainly /temp.Boost. It could help me in a life-or-death situation.
I picked up a piece of scrap wood and squeezed it as a control. As expected, nothing happened at all. My stats are all 1, so there will be little effect, but I at least want to know that it works.

/temp.Boost
Please pick the stat to buff (Vit/Int/Sta/Agi/Dex/Str)
Str_
Activated. Time left: 4:59
I picked up the scrap wood, and this time I squeezed it till it warped and deformed.
Wait, didn’t they say something about editing the modifiers?
/temp.Boost Str {[multiply.value]=3, [time.duration.value]=1(min), [mana.cost.query]}
Valid. Mana cost: 0.3 points, rounded to 1. (1*(3/2))/5 = 0.3, rounded to nearest non-zero integer = 1 (TN: The value is different based on the Str value)
Oh, so it works this way. They system uses math in order to calculate the mana value, and rounds it to the nearest mana cost. Since my strength stat is 1, 1 is also the mana cost without editing the modifiers. I did not think that the commands would work, but as a developer, I know how the console works in the game version, so it probably works in the isekai version. Surprisingly, even the mana cost inquiry modifier was transferred, since it is used to check if the internal calculators worked.

8 422High school life in a world where everyone has superpowers
So, um... how do I explain this simply? Okay, so... There's a girl, she's er... She's in high school, and, um... She has a superpower that mutes things? Also she lives? Yeah, sorry. The concept's too confusing isn't it? Warning: The stuff below is technically correct, but this fiction, with my other, is now on the failed pledge list. Shocking how a lack of updates for more than half a year actually meant something... Sorry for the delay, still not really up to writing for this series as of now (14/03/18 - remember I'm english, so correct) but I'm still trying to get into writing... Cover is thanks to Zenlith (WriTE's Founding Member). This fiction is signed under the 'The Pledge'... Some internet message in a forum about not dropping or giving a rushed ending in their fiction, otherwise meet the wrath of letting RRL mod Vocaloid have 'fun' with the fiction's description. So mainly for the sake of my fiction due to said wrath, I'll see this fiction through. Updates: up in the air... hopefully the day after this is edited, but we all have dreams. Warning for mild profanity, but it shouldn't happen too much for the innocent out there so don't take the warning to heart.
8 169Land of Erden
Decided to do a rewrite on this. Please do check it out. On my tapas link, I've included some images :D https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/43936/erden-tale-of-a-land-forgotten https://tapas.io/series/Land-of-Erden/info Two sides of a single coin? Or two halves of the same one? Urie Loeth was a boy living in the city of Daerin. Eager to learn magic in order to help his father, he participated in the city's annual Harvest Festival, a gathering conducted to awaken magic in children. His hopes were dashed however when he learnt that he couldn't awaken his magic. Meanwhile, Celeste Varethe was a girl living in the perpetually dark city of Daerin. Awaiting her father's presence on her birthday, she narrowly missed his brief appearance and ran after his silhouette, only to feel confused at being suddenly pushed away. Their unexpected meeting, brought about by fate, set off a series of events that would bring motion to the once stagnant Land of Erden. Note: Volume 01 Ebook (It has illustrations! Whoopie!) (Some of the chapters are uploaded as first drafts.) Giving a comment, like, rating, or a review would be greatly appreciated.Writing a specific story, Land of Erden is my first. Well, writing a story as well as writing in general. I hope you all grow to like it.

8 210Jack of All Trades, Master of All
Jack was reincarnated, again. This time, the omnipotent sphere had finally revealed to him that this new world was, in fact, the real one, and his soul had just returned to his body after two years of coma. During that span, the Earth or the magical world No.146, where he was The Grand Sage, was just a simulation experience. Jack inherited the System of Knowledge from his former self in the previous world. But gradually, he realized there were other Returners, holding other powerful Systems that they themself were also granted. The reason? The Omnipotent Sphere refused to give an answer. With the ever-burning desire to find his former friends and companions at World No.146 after their souls too were returned to this world, Jack began his journey. Ahead of him, five hundred years old as he technically was, there might be some surprises he still wasn’t prepared for. This is an original translated work. I’ve always wanted to challenge my writing skill and post on Royalroad a few times, but, as it turned out, I realized my own English capability still limited me. Therefore, I am currently working with a team of three, hence the name Triopals, consisting of me, the author, a translator, and an investor who really put his faith in this project. My translator and I will work together to deliver four chapters each week. Depending on the translating, editing, re-reading, checking, and re-reading-again process, the chapters will be uploaded each day or all at once. Careful as we may be, there can still be some errors at our best, so we welcome grammatical corrections, etc. We are very appreciative of your support.
