{Mage class obtained.}
[Mana control (passive)] skill has been obtained.
{Swordsman class obtained.}
[Unstoppable slash(Active)] skill has been obtained.
The two friends jumped out of bed at once. When their eyes met, they looked at each other.
“Dude, I got a new class.”
"Me too"
“What class did you get?” said Arden.
“[Swordsman] also has skill. and you?"
“[Mage] " They both forgot their tired bodies and started talking excitedly.Matt was too excited to wait for tomorrow. The two had gone down to the back courtyard of the inn and began testing their skills.
Matt came to the middle of the courtyard. And he was left with a sword in his hand. A wind sweep to dust on the ground.
“Dude, do you know how to use ability?” said Matt.
"I have no idea."
The two just stood there in the courtyard. Arden spoke last.
“Try thinking about the skill while swinging the sword, maybe it will work.”
Matt decided to try what Arden said. He raised the sword up and swung it down, thinking of the skill. As the sword moved towards the blade, a hard-to-see blue light appeared behind it.
“That was awesome”
“It felt great,” Matt said quite excitedly.
“Try again,” Arden said.
Matt again raised the sword and waved it the same way. But nothing happened.
"What happened?" said Arden.
“I don't know, but I felt it took a while to use it again”
“What does your skill do?”
“Arden tried to create a vortex in his body. He realized that when he reached for the mana around him, it was much easier to control. The vortex remained stable. He had finally succeeded. The vortex was not breaking up.
"Dude, the Vortex isn't breaking up." he said, turning to Matt.

The duo continued to work on the skills they had gained in the darkness of the night. They continued to work in the courtyard for an hour and then decided to sleep.

“Are you coming today? Arden,” said Ava.
They were out of class and talking about what to do.
"I didn't go yesterday, I need to see the state of the inn, hang out without me today"
Arden left Matt and the others behind and started walking towards the great gates of Petra. Soon he was walking on the path behind the walls. Outside the walls it was quite different. When the sounds of the city disappeared, the sound of birds and insects could be heard. While walking peacefully on the road, he was studying what he learned in today's lesson. He had learned elemental control and began to move a few pieces of earth that he was holding in his hand.
Time flew by as he dealt with land control and it came to the construction of the inn. Workers were working on the construction of the roof. Mr. Alex was following the progress of his construction.
“Mr. Alex, that's incredible,”
The construction had been going on for 1 week. But the rough construction was almost over.
"Haha, I told you, didn't I?" said Mr Alex, puffing up his chest.
Arden had learned the reason why the construction progressed so fast, of course, in the course of time. Employees were sometimes able to lift weights that were impossible for a human to lift. He had once seen a worker throw 10 nails into the air. The nails were set at regular intervals, and they were all sunk into the wood with a single thrust.
“How is the construction going? MR Alex”
“Our roofing works will be finished today, then we have to finish the works such as the assembly of the doors and windows, and we can finish them in a few days.”

Alex realized that he had forgotten something.
“Oh, as we will get your help on the construction of the bath, your guidance awaits the construction.”
“Can we tour the building? ”
"Sure, come first"
Alex and Arden entered the doorless building. The lobby of the inn was full of materials as construction was still going on.
Arden looked around. The lobby was quite large. There was a bar counter just opposite the entrance door. To the right and left of the lobby were the stairs leading to the upper floor. They came up to the stairs, looking around. As they climbed the stairs to the second floor, Arden looked out through the doorless opening to the right of the stairs. These were terraces that were added later. When he came out of the door, there was a magnificent view of the lake in front of him.
“Wouldn't it be great to have a cup of tea against the view, Mr.Alex?” said arden
“Hahah, I'll stop by for a drink when the inn opens, Mr. Arden.”
“I'm always welcome” he smiled and said.
After watching the scenery a little more, they entered the building again and began to examine the rooms of the inn. Although the rooms were not very large, they were rooms where 2 people could stay comfortably.
After touring the entire inn, Arden and Alex went out.
“Mr.Alex, any news from the Higgs? Are the items ready?"
“We spoke in the morning. Everything is ready except a few things. He said they could bring the items as soon as the construction was finished.”
“Then we are very close to the opening, I am coming tomorrow for the construction of the bath, you can go back to your work MR alex.”
After Arden made sure he had enough information about the state of the construction, he began to tour the Site. The inn took up a quarter of the land he bought. He was planning to build a garden after the construction was finished.He was planning to build a garden after the construction was finished. But the weather was already starting to cool down in petra, and winter wasn't far away. Garden construction could have been delayed until after winter.
Arden took a deep breath and looked at the area he would call home from now on, and smiled.

The Great Erectus and Faun
The Great Erectus, otherwise known as "The Big Guy" is NOT a god. Don't call him that. It will tick him off. He and his newfound apprentice/sidekick the definitely not a creation goddess Faun have a little problem. The Big Guy's universe is blowing up. Faun might have had something to do with that. (She feels awful about it BTW) They must rush about the unraveling universe saving (or judging) worlds as the end of all things is bearing down upon them at the speed of light, so they have a bit of time but really can't mess about. Along the way they will encounter Lovecraftian horrors, divine ex-girlfriends, surly AI's and a host of other hassles. Enjoy such delights as the complete destruction of the universe, a children's "Christmas pageant" except where "the greatest story ever told" involves an eldritch horror from another universe, and an innocent misunderstanding concerning the exact definition of a "red dwarf". Existential dread! Lovecraftian comedy! It's as much madness as can be shoved into a single work and still remotely make sense! If you enjoy completely off the hook lunacy, this one is for you!

Magikind
Disclaimer: This is a low-fantasy, soft-sci-fi genre. In fact, it's a variety of genres, so don't be too put off by the tags Through several centuries of selective breeding, these beings, known as mages, have become part of the very foundations of society. However, some humans refused to change or adapt along with them. They believed in purity and refused to interbreed with magikind. Known as the manush, they were a rarity among society. Now, in the fifth millennia, the manush are thought to be extinct. With magikind ruling the world, a three-way war grips society between Eurasia, Afro-Australian Alliance and The Americas. In these uncertain times, a manush called Gin enters the Eurasian army. From there, our journey unfolds. A story of how mankind could realistically evolve while still pushing boundaries. PS.
