《The Empath [hidden]》chapter 14.1
Advertisement
Sorry for the false promise yesterday, had been dumped with work and will be busy for a while well will update whenever I am free, really sorry.
I found something real interesting while grinding my skills, the empath link which had a low chance of success when forced is a skill that's best practiced on low level monsters as it increases the success rate which was precisely what I was doing that is until I got extremely bored and irritated, then it happened somehow my spirit points were reduced and I can feel emotion carry over through the link.
Yeah what I found out was I am capable of sending emotions through the link and i also learned that target too can do the same though not anywhere near clear enough as me, well further experimenting revealed I can also transfers thoughts, intent, picture and so on through the link, which mostly led them to be confused for a few secs.
Well apart from them being confused for a few secs and funny faces they make during the duration there was no other visible benefits, though it was fun nonetheless, for one instance when I flooded goblins mind with beautiful females they were practically drolling and when displayed certain pictures that monsters are naturally weak against it was funny to watch their reaction.
Some even gained status effect from it, like berserk, rage overflow, fear, despair and so on, there was both buffing and debugging effects based on what they feel, this could prove useful or maybe not, it's fun to screw around like this none the less.
As for spirit manipulation it seems I can only add extra spirit points in a spell or skill nothing more than that, sigh a major let down at least in mana manipulation you can create and shape mana as you wish, well it does increase the effectiveness of the skill by 20 to 30 percent, but the amount I have is too less to be spammed I can utmost use a dozen times.

The only way to increase spirit is by using it over and over, it also seems to grow daily but both method is very slow, I have deplete the bar hundreds of times to raise it by one point and daily increase is 1/1000 of total spirit, it gonna be very long time before I can use it generously.
Ah yeah almost forgot about empath sense skill, as said before it displays each and every living being as a dim ball of light, upon closer observation I can even see their life mana and spirit, life is red in color it's in various shapes and size but when the being is hurt it kinda shrinks and when fatally wounded the red light dims and almost becomes invisible.
Mana is also similar only exception a thin layer of it is always around the body and lastly there is whitish blue light around the white ball of the being, it is never redused in size or shape but always seems to move at each and every action a being is taking.
The only reason I identified it as spirit is because I could see the color of it when I poured spirit in my skills, though I might be wrong, well anyway with combination of cc skills like confusion fear and illusion spells I was easily able to grind my beginner basic spells.
With the help of dragon ring and short cool down of basic spells low level monsters were abused endlessly, still even that became boring after a while, I resolve myself once again by remember all the fun I could have once what I plan succeeds, for the future I must bear through this, back to torturing the low level mob.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Unending War
In a secluded forest, Avalel, twelve years of age, was completely oblivious to the torment of the war. His backward village was a hidden safe haven, self sufficient on its own limited resources. Although there were occasionally contact from the "Outside", as they called it, the village remained its own world, isolated and in peace. Until he stumbled upon a girl, broken by the war, hardened by its cruelty. Four years later, the Outside comes to him. Witnessing the horrors around him, his fantasies shattered by the abhorrent ruthlessness of this orderless world, he only has a single goal: to protect the ones he considers his closest in the war. A mysterious sword accompanies him, a relic of the past strangely interested in his development. A kind friend supports him, looking out for each other. A leader pursues him, obsessed with his identity. A journey of life, of death; of friendship, of enmity; of courage, of cowardice; of loyalty, of betrayal; of power, of corruption in this eternal, unending war.
