《Re: Hero and the Demon King》Tale 6 - Character

Dianne, 4 years old.
"Nee, Mother."
"What is it, Little Dianne?"
"What are those lights shining in the sky?"
"Those are stars, dear."
"What about those 3 biscuit shaped object in the sky?"
"Those are our natural satellites. We believe that those are made of stone. The red one on the left is [Urm], the green one in the middle is the[Jarg] and the yellow one in the right is [Nexus]."
"Why won't they fall from the sky like the stone I threw upwards?"
"Silly child. Those stars and satellites are not controlled by our gravity. Like the [Caquis] and the clouds you see every morning, it would remain in the sky forever."
"Nee, Mother."
"Shut up, Dianne. Don't you see I'm busy?"
"Uuuuuu...."
"Ah?! Don't cry. I'm just joking. What is it?"
"*sniff* One day i'll reach those lights!"
"Before you do that, try to reach those satellites first."
"Uhm!"
"Really, what a hopeless child."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I want to say this again. I am [Dianne Lvonne] the 42nd Master Magicsmith. I obtained the title at the age of 14!"
Eh?! A Master Magicsmith at the age of 14? When a 16 year old Master Magicsmith was announced throughout the kingdom, it was shocking enough to make an uproar, what else if it was a 14 year old?
"Ms. [Dianne], if that's true, why didn't we heard that information to be publicized throughout the kingdom?"
One of my girl classmates asked her.
"Well~, when [Hachn] Academy announced that the 9th Master Magicsmith [Eris Valler] was a 16 year old girl, it caused an uproar. After that incident, the principal at that time decided to hide the age of an upcoming Master Magicsmith. Don't think that i'm the youngest of the Master Magicsmiths. When I became the Master Magicsmith, I was 14 years old and 14 months. The youngest was the 33rd, at the age of 14 years old and 2 months."

That age difference really matters?! Is what we thought when she said that.
"Teacher!"
Another girl rises her hand. Those girls might saw her as an ideal example of excellence.
"What is it?"
"Are you the one who created the [levitator]?"
"Oh, that one? That was a failure. I want to create something that defies gravity indefinitely, but what I created was a tool that defies gravity, but it has a limit."
"Eehh??! That was a failure?!!"
Master Magicsmiths are really out of our league.
"I made that device, but the present principal made modifications, putting some buttons to control its level of gravity."
"Teacher!"
"Persistent, aren't you? What is it?"
Ms. [Dianne] looks impatient.
That girl asked her again.
"How did you come up with those things if the only available departments before Adventurer's Department was created was LRBW and Automata department?"
"Good question~. This is my answer. It doesn't really mean that when you enter LRBW department is that all you will learn is LRBW subjects. You could also pick some of the minor subjects this school offers. When I was a first year student, I picked the "Application of Magic on Objects" or also known as Magic Encryption. Since before, all of the students of this [Hachn] Academy was taught magic. But unlike you Adventurer's department, we didn't learn offensive magic. What they taught us was support and auxiliary magic."
"Auxiliary magic?"
"Yes, auxiliary magic. Auxiliary magic, also known as Utility magic, are magics that could be used in case of emergencies. Like flight and gravity, all of us were taught things that would be helpful in case of emergency."
"My ambition is to reach those satellites you see in the sky at night. This sparked my interest in [Gravity] magic. As a student, I didn't care any of other spells, as long as I master [Gravity] magic, I'll be one step forward towards my dream. So I say this to you little children."

Then she posed like a bandit leader. she placed her left hand on her hips and points her index finger forward.
"If you want to obtain the title Master Magicsmith, pursue your dream forward! Always move forward and don't look back! Indecisiveness is the enemy of success!"
One of the students muttered.
"If Mr. [Vax] were to do that, we would have clapped. But its Ms. [Dianne], the one who introduced herself using a weird speech. We have doubts if it was really true or not."
All of us laughed. Ms. [Dianne], heard this, dropped her knees on the floor and her bottom sits on the floor.
"*Sniff* Awful! To think that my plan to act cool in front of my students by saying that line failed. *Sniff*."
After she said that, it is decided that she is a gag character.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Now, I would formally start my [Al-chemi] class."
"Yes, teacher."
"In our [Al-chemi] class, I would teach you the secrets behind the ores, primarily [Etrium] and how to extract their potential."
"Secrets of the ores?"
"Yes, I'll ask you students, do you know why [Etrium] was only discovered 126 years ago?"
One of [Charles]' lackeys says with disinterest:
"No. But is it really a big deal to know it?"
"Yes because it was discovered one year after 2/3 of human population died from the Second Demon War. But that's not the only weird thing we could connect to [Etrium]. The location where [Etrium] was first discovered was also the place where the first battle between the Humans and Demons was fought."
"?!"
"After a decade of experimentation, the kingdom with the partnership of [Hachn] Academy discovered what [Etrium] really is."
All of us were focused as she tells us another shocking revelation.
"It was a living thing with consciousness' solidified energy~"

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
