《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 4
Advertisement
I woke up in the inn, it's midday and sun shines inside the room, the windows placed well enough that light it allows isn't annoyingly hitting on my face, you see I find that kinda things to be very irritating, well I should get on with day I guess, as I head down stairs to the dinning hall in the inn, I was greeted by a very surprised inn keeper.
"Oi, who are you and why are you coming out from that room, I don't remember seeing you yesterday neither that you booking a room"
Tossing him the room key, I explain yesterday no its event of the day before I guess, after I finish he gives me a sheepish grin and nods remembering something, after breakfast to fill satiety bar, I head out to get my class.
I enter the mage guild, it's fairly old 3 story building which is fairly large, it's western style and built of stone and some black brick like thing, the entrance door was carved with symbols and circles, opening it I find myself in a room filled with decorations of different thing, a few furniture and a counter by the door leading to other rooms? I guessing.
Anyway I approach the counter and hit the small bell, but something shiny hit my face.
"How rude can't you see me here, anyway keep quite masters trying out a new spell" the small glowy thing whispers in my ear.
I try to ask my question but was shut up by another smack in the face by the glowy, after a few minutes a loud boom can be heard followed by a healthy laugh.
"Sigh....The master messed up again, it's gonna cost to fix things up...sigh....another month in red"
"Still there, can I speak now, you are missing on potential customer you know"

Though it doesn't pay attention to my first part, as soon as I say customer I gain it's full attention and a bright glow.
"Sorry about that kind sir, what may I do for yo....wait you are here for the class change" it shouts half way through as it sees my level and I can somehow see dollar signs all round it.
"Yeah yeah I am Here for class change but sorry to disappoint you I am choosing mind mage the cheapest class, anyway what exactly are"
"But why, that's a stupidly useless class, don't you want to be something more" it cries out at the potential cheap customer.
"Well I have my plans and am not going to change it, well I will pay double if you tell me what you are though" I say, wondering what it's, in the past ten years I have never seen anything this small.
"Hmph how rude, can't you tell I am pixie, I will take the extra cash for your rude behavior then, though I must say not only are you rude but you are also stupid for choosing that class" it says mockingly.
Without replying I hand over the money and wait for it give me the class tome for choosing class.
"Hmm. ?...that's about right, here is the class tome, since you are so stupid why don't I recommend a skill for you to learn, it should at least help your stupid weak class a little"
"Are you sure you aren't trying to make me buy things just so you can make money" to which it let's out a squirm "well doesn't matter, tell me what do you recommend"
Hearing me again the strange atmosphere appear and it says happily "well I could recommend mana mastery and mana manipulation it should help increase your spell damage output considerably, it cost 60 gold though"

Though mana manipulation sounds great it's just controlling how much mana you pour in a spell but that too helps I guess, again I hand over the money and get the tomes, I was then led to training room underground which was actually mini dungeon that produced low level monsters, anyway the skills I learned are,
Mind mastery Lvl 1 :
Increases the defense of the mind and allows to perform complex mind magic. 10% effectiveness for mind based spells
Fear Lvl 1 :
Induces fear in the mind of the target, cost 10 Mp, duration 1 minute effect decreases the targets strength by 2-5% (if the target is higher level than you, there is 20% chance you will fail and be stunned for 5 sec).
Confusion Lvl 1 :
Causes confusion in the targets senses by directly messing with its brain, cost 20 Mp, duration 1 minute, effect decreases the dodging and attack accuracy by 2-5% (if the target is higher level than you, there is 20% chance you will fail and be stunned for 5 sec).
Boost Lvl 1 :
Boost strenght and speed of the target by 2-5% for a duration of 5 minutes and costs 50 Mp, the target must have a clear mind for the spell to work.
Regen Lvl 1 :
Increases all Regen by 10% by casting the spell on the targets brain, cost 100 Mp and last 10 minutes.
Illusion body Lvl 1 :
Cast a illusion of yourself in order to distract your enemy and let you escape, cost 100 Mp lasts for a minute, can be re cast 3 times
Mana Mastery Lvl 1 :
Master the usage of mana to reduce spell cost and increase damage, 5% reduction in spell cost and 5% increase in spells effectiveness (duration, damage and stuff).
Mana manipulation Lvl 1 :
Let's you manipulate the mana, can pour in extra mana into spell to increase its effectiveness, further abilities are locked till you reach higher levels.
Yup as the pixie said it's one weak ass buffer class, 5 times less effective than normal buffer class but no one should focus on long term benefits if not for my goal I could choose this class, but now that I choose it no other option than to put up with it better if I can enjoy it, we'll surely it must have its own charm right right?

8 68Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.
8 220Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}
8 97Rebirth, but not quite.
A boy is born in a fantasy world with knowledge of modern earth, however he does not have personal memories of living or dying before. Good news is he was born in militaristic branch of the royal family and the variety of forms and uses of magic in this world are great fun, bad news is with status come expectations. Follow him as he makes his place in the world all the while escaping boredom with all his might. This is a story without a big baddie trying to destroy the world, without gods choosing heroes to give powers to and without systems that determine what you can and can't do. This is my first fiction and i'm open to suggestions. I plan on using a few cliches while putting my own spin on things, if i write something that feels too much like every other fictions, please say so.
