"Well...thanks for your presentations!We will begin immediately!" John
"You remember the blue screen of Yesterday?I will now explain what it is.
So...Ryan?" He said while pointing one of the twins
"Wrong" The true Ryan says
"Tch...One day I will be able to know who is who. Well doesn't matter, Yesterday did you see a blue screen in front of you?"
Ryan nods "I got two of them one saying that I learned a truth and the other saying will be tired less easily."
'I didn't have the same reward, they're different for everyone?'
"I will explain, The Truths are things that few know, the system will reward everyone that find one of them, and based on the importance of this Truth you will gain a reward proportionally important.This truth is passed to each generation from this village, and it is forbidden to tell the true history outside the Village, understood?" John
"Yeees" Everyone
"So the truth if you ever find one keep it to yourself or help those around you, but only the one you hold dear, and in those you have full confidence in, understood?"
"Yeees" Everyone
"I can't learn you anything new about truth because we only know so much, I hope for you that you will be able to find more of those.I forgot to say it but the reward far the Truths are different from person to person.
So let's talk about a topic more interesting: The system!
If you remember what I told you, the system was given to help us to become stronger and to know what we've done, both good and bad deeds.You can divide the system into two parts the Level and the titles.

The level presents how much potential you've achieved at the moment, it shows your grow and how much you can develop.Be warned that it don't show your aptitude, just your grow. Your physical and mental capacities.
A level 1 can win against a level 99...maybe, of course, the level 99 would have an advantage of stats.
Do you understand what I'm saying about the Level? You will have an example later." John
"Yeees" Everyone
"So now let's talk about the titles You obtain those by doing acts that are recognized by the system.
I will give you a well-known example: if you destroy an army all by yourself you will earn the title "One-man Army" Cool right? but if you do break a law, for example, if you kill someone without reason or for a reason that isn't acceptable you will earn a bad title "PK" for Person Killer, I don't know why the title isn't simply killer, well doesn't matter.
Well, what I just want to say is that the titles will decide of your standing in society if you'll be feared or admired. Generally, you can choose what title is shown to others, but there are some that can't be hidden, the PK title." John
"So less explication more example think status, in your head"
'status'

From 7 to 9 Years old we had a class of common sense, and we learned how to count and how to read. The class of yesterday was a first with John who will be one of our new instructors. It's a sort of ritual of passage from the little class to the ... middle? Or so they say.
I tried to concentrate on the ??? but nothing happened.
"Seeing your faces, I think you saw your status, you can see them anytime.
Now you should all have at least a title 'Child' if you concentrate on it, you will be able to see its description. We have other things to do, so we will end the lesson here, any question?none?We'll be going then.
Ah...wait there is way for other to see your status, you can show them, or they can spy on you with magic or special tools.Alright, stand up we're going to the training grounds." John
Everyone is leaving, John is waiting, I think he is waiting for everyone to be outside. As the last one pass the door, I went to see John.
"I have title I don't understand, can help me?" me
"think 'Show status to John'" John
[table]
Show status to John?Yes?No?
[table]
'Yes'
I can see he staring in front of him, he must be reading.
"Not bad you're already level 5" John
I smile a little, proud of myself. Then he shows a troubled face.
'He should have seen the forsaken, could I not hide itIi will have to try.'
"For your titles with 3 questions marks...I don't know. I think it should be because you don't have any information about them or because they will unlock themselves at a special time such as the day you become an adult.
Those are the only solution I can think of, I'll search and if I learn something I'll tell you.
Well let's go, don't think about it too much" John
With that said he pushed me out of the classroom.

blacklight
So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.

An arcane apprentice, who mere months away from graduating to a fully-fledged magician of the empire. Without any idea as to why he was spared from the telepathic tongues of swarm, or even how they even came to be, he marches on. Forced to wander a world alone.
