《Limitless》Chapter 1 - Village boy

"Boo!"
"Wess you shouldn't have scared me like that!" Wess's sister, Lisa, started and immediately scolded Wess.
Lisa was a beautiful woman. She has many possible suitors, but refuses all of them on the basis that she would only marry someone she loved. She was tall and had long jet black hair. She was also a part of one of the strongest sects, and so whoever was lucky enough to marry her would also have a rise in status.
"It was just a joke. You took it way too seriously, plus I'm not even going to be able to see you again for 6 months." Pouted Wess
"You're the one who decided to become someone who could fight. Hmph!" Snorted his sister with a cold look.
"Hey that's not fair. You know I've always wanted to live an adventurous life, where it'll be a battle for survival. I dont wish to be protected, and my friends ridicule me!" Moaned Wess. His eyes had an intense bloodthirsty look, however it would only be visible to the strongest of experts.
"Fine! But remember not to go too far. You have family that don't wish for you to die." Said Lisa with a cold look, but a twinge of worry was evident in her eyes.
"Yeah, yeah, don't worry. When I get tested I'll join a strong academy or sect like yours, that also prevents killing." Said Wess a little unhappily.
Today is the test day and everyone from the village that was equal or under 10 years had to participate in it. You would be tested for your affinity in the elements and then be sent off to a sect or academy that wished to have you. Every kid from the village was ecstatic, including Wess, but he didn't want to part from his sister. He rarely saw his sister and from now on he could only see her every 6 months. It was too much for Wess who was only 8 and had two family members, his mum and sister.

"THE TESTERS HAVE ARRIVED!" screamed someone from the village at the top of their lungs. He was panting heavily, and his large scarred hands were on his knees as he was bending over. Excitement was evident on his face and his eyes had a strange twinkle in them.
"Let's go then sis." Said Wess excitedly. He jumped from the short wall they were currently sitting on in preparation for the test.
Walking hand in hand Wess and Lisa walked to the centre of the village, where a skinny man wearing a green hat, that had orange feathers sticking out of it, was surrounded by multiple recruiters from academies and sects. There was a huge crowd as almost everyone in the village was participating in this event. In fact everyone had to participate and only few exceptions were allowed.
"Ah hem!" The skinny man coughed "Let's start the exam now." With that he started calling out names.
Soon everyone in the village had been tested, only Wess and a few others hadn't been tested yet. The audience at this point were roaring because one person had legendary affinity to two elements.
Every kid would be tested based on what affinity they had to the elements. The natural elements were fire, wind, water, earth, lightning, darkness and light. There were other affinities such as neutral, but these affinities weren't taught in sects or academies. The only way to learn these affinities was to get a personal master or a scroll/book.
The only one that could be taught was neutral, but that was only because neutral was when you had no affinity to any specific element. These people would have more balance in their bodies and could learn all the natural elements, so they could be taught normally. However it was common knowledge that these people could not reach their full potential. This added with the fact that you couldn't lose your virginity, as you would overflow with Yin or Yang energy, was enough to deter people from hoping to get it.

All affinities were split into 5 tiers. These were godlike, legendary, good, decent and horrible. If you were a 'genius' then you would have good talent. However these 'geniuses' were very common, a true genius would have to have at least one legendary talent or have four good talents. From this you could determine that the guy who had two legendary talents was amazingly talented.
"OH MY GOD!" While Wess was being slightly frantic, the villagers were screaming at each other. They were kissing each other on the cheeks and joy was drawn on their face. Wess looked over and saw......

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

Grumbo (Grian x Mumbo) Fanfic
Okay so I need to point out a few things. 1. I only ship the characters Grian and Mumbo, not Charles and Oli. This means that I am just shipping fictional characters. Basically, I ship Grian and Mumbo (as real live people) but not as Charles and Oli. (hopefull that makes sense)2. I don't ship a sexual relationship between them, for those who don't know, I don't write things like that, and I also don't generally like that. 3. This is most likely gonna include other hermitcraft characters, (again, the characters, not the actual people who play the characters) but none will be in any relationships they'll just be the friendly background people and friends. Rankings: #1 in grianxmumbojumbo#3 in hermitcraft7#15 in Mumbo (out of 494 stories)This story will be taken down if any hermits related to the story state they are uncomfortable with being a part of shipping/fanfiction (or names will be changed, depending on the person). If either Grian or Mumbo states they are uncomfortable with being shipped the story will be taken down immediately! I think that's it... well, enjoy the story!
