《Ilario》CHAPTER 6: HARDER
Advertisement
After lunch, Ilario went to training ground for the physical training. He felt tried just thinking of yesterday, more importantly, Queen Agnes told him not to use healing magic until finished all of training sets.
Oliver waiting for Ilario at the training ground, prepared the same thing as yesterday. The physical trainings were double from yesterday, even the stone bracelets were more weight.
“Is this a way of training a child like me?” thought Ilario but training obediently as Oliver said. Ilario could done training sets faster but felt tireless, it was amazing that his strength was fast increasing.
“It’s just warmed up, you need to do the same in double for the next day of training, the weight of stone bracelets would be increasing continually. We have more special training after your body warmed up, for today, climbs this tree 10 times. I will teach you how to do it, it was easy,” said Oliver.
“Climbs the tree? God, If I fallen down? Easy for you but not for me, you know?” thought Ilario anxiously, he observed Oliver closely and listened to his methods carefully, the main point was finding the rough at tree truck to claim to its branches and did the same when go down, it was good thing that he prepared the small tree and made it shape that easier to claim up.
Ilario started climb up the tree slowly, its skin was rough and scratched Ilario’s skin, he could not stop but climb up to the top; the height was around 3-4 meters.
“Are there any safety tools to support me in case of falling down?” Ilario thought while reaching nearly to the top, he missed his step, “Whoa” it was lucky that he could caught the branch near him on time, his heart felt exploded, scared of falling down for real. He thought that he has to prepare for activating wind magic power in case of emergency, at least it could make him falling down softly. Oliver observed but do nothing, it would be better for him to careful and prepare himself ready for all kind of situation. — It was hard for the first and second time of climb up, the third time, he climbed up faster, after that it was easier for him, his body could be adapted and climbed up more smoothly.
“Tomorrow would be harder, prepare yourself,” said Oliver, he smiled at him after finished today training.
Ilario’s body was aching and hurting from scratched, He activated "Instant Heal" the aching were gone, all of wounds disappeared without trace.
The next day, Ilario went to Queen’s Treehouses as usually, Mr. Mercury was in chart of teaching him today.

“I’ve heard that you are genius in magic controlling from Queen Agnes yesterday, the magic theory would be short cut and it was better to teach you more knowledges that could help you adapted and use it for real in the future,” said Mr. Mercury and started the lesson.
“The other day, you already learned about Magic Core and Magic Energy; today, I will explain more about spirit and magic stone, the natural resources that related to Magic Energy. — This world created by Zues, King of gods, there were plenty of naturals in the beginning of this world. Zues created spirits to protect and generated the natural raw, it was the important parts of life cycle in this world. The spirits always stay around the naturals; the plenty of naturals, the more of spirits. The spirits also have types as same as Magic Energy, to make it clear, Magic Energy was occurred by spirits. — We did not call Magic Energy by spirit energy because Ordinarius and most of Magus hardly ever see the spirits. Only the Magus that loves by spirits could see it and There was no theory that what kind of person that spirits loves, that’s why we did not called spirit energy.”
“Did you have been seen once?” Ilario asked curiously.
“I could see it, they sometime show up themselves, only Queen Agnes usually talks to world tree spirit including other spirit kings and queens” said Mr. Mercury.
“Do human know about the spirits?” asked Ilario.
“There were some Magus of human race could saw spirit but they kept it secret, even they talk to others, it was hard to believe because most of humans could not see spirits even the spirits stay in front of them,” said Mr. Mercury and explained more.
“The spirits were also separated by element types; there were spirit king or queen, high, medium and low level spirit in each element. The Water Spirit Queen ‘Aqua’ The Wind Spirit King ‘Ventus’ The Earth Spirit Queen, ‘Terra’ and The Fire Spirit King ‘Ignis’ they rule the other spirits in their element. — The spirits always stay at area that have a lot of natural sources of their element type, for example, water spirits always stay at the river or the area that have much water. The plenty of natural area, there were many spirit types; when there were group of spirits, its energy was leaking and generating the Magic Energy itself.”
“The magic stone also occurred by nature and spirit energy but in long term. The Magic Energy occurred and flow as the natural but the magic stone occurred when it processes by natured itself in long period of time. Think about the stone mine, the process was same but plus with spirit energy in its process, that what we called Magic Stone. — Everyone can use magic stone but the effective were different. The Ordinarius can use the magic stone with medium to make its power leaking, because the magic stone was occurred by Magic Energy accumulation in long period of time, more power than Magic Energy, and much more enough for the Ordinarius to use its leaking power and no need to activate, that why the Ordinarius applied it with home appliance and required of changing when the power was out. — It was difference matter when using by Magus, it can use for boosting Magic Power much more effective than Magic Energy that circulating around by natural, the magic power could be boost up to 50%. It was also possible for more power boost up than 50%, but it was hard to find that kind of Magic Stone.”

“In additional, Magus could make magic stone themselves by input their magic power into the stone but the power was limit and up to Magus’s Magic power and the strength of stone, we call it ‘Artificium’; if Magus input too much magic power in the stone that could not resist its power, it would be broken. Normally the stones have its limit of strength of each type, it was common use in gemstone and made it be accessories, because of its limit power, Magus always use it for power back up or emergency case, it can use only 1 time, then the gemstone broken in significant of lost its power. The Ordinary also can use the same, they always use for protecting themselves in emergency case because of its price was quite expensive.”
“How the Ordinarius use Artificium? As I knew from you that only Magus could activate Magic Power.” Ilario asked.
“It need condition when input magic power in gemstone, it was hard to make it succeed for usable by The Ordinarius, that why it made the selling price quite high; For example, the easiest way, break the gemstone for power activated, or in advance way, put some trick on accessory to release the magic power smoothly and not hurt the user. The stone is medium for collecting magic power and release when it broken. — The Artificium was total different from Magic Stone, it made by compressed magic power into stone one time, its power explode when the medium broken, meanwhile, The Magic Stone occurred from natural, its power leaking bit by bit itself, it was not explode when it broken because it was power from natural, it would be lost its power by itself up to period of time or the frequency of usage.” said Mr. Mercury and informed Ilario “From tomorrow onwards, no more theory lesson but you can ask any questions by coming here anytime, Mr. Marius will teach you the magic controlling at the training ground, he is great at attack and defense magic power, he could guild you better than me.”
***
The afternoon training was harder than yesterday like Oliver said, the weight of bracelets was all increased, running 50 laps, real sword training 200 times, run across the wood log 50 rounds, climb the tree 20 times. It made Ilario sweated and rested for a while.
“I will teach you how to shoot the arrow,” said Lyra, she came with the wood bow and arrows, “Come here and see my posture, stand and assume the stance, load the arrow with it nock, rise and draw string bow toward face as much as you can, hold and point to the target and then release arrow.”
Lyra explained and show Ilario the posture step by step closely and asked Ilario to try after her. Ilario followed her step and shoot arrow to the archery target but missed, the arrow fallen down before reaching to the target. Ilario thought that he might did something wrong or his body was not strength enough.
“You did not draw the string hard enough, try again,” said Lyra.
Ilario drawn string harder, he used all of his strength, then shot arrow to the target, this time, it could reach to target but could not hit to the inner center, it hit to outer of target instead.
“You have drawn hard but out of focus, try again, focus your eyes on target, hold the bow after drawn the string, point the bow as follow as your eyes focus on and release the arrow,” said Lyra.
Ilario drawn the arrow again, concentrated and focus on the inner target, then shot with all of his strength; it hit near the inner center.
“Good, try to focus and practice more,” said Lyra.
Ilario shot arrow many times, his hand start bleeding from scratch of string, the arrow hits were close the inner but still not center of the target.
“That’s enough for today,” said Lyra.
Ilario’s hand was hurt and bled, he healed himself after Lyra and Oliver gone.

Cultivation Anomaly
Follow the journey of an individual given a classic cheat trope in a cultivation world. What does a man do when he finds himself unsure of who he really is yet is given a cheat? What really happens to a cultivation world when it is overrun by MC level characters? Is the cultivation world just run by cruel young masters, short-sighted elders and uncaring experts? Note: Tags may be removed or added to this story as it progresses. For example, I added the harem tag because I wasn't sure if it would appear so be forewarn. Also, productive feedback is always appreciated even it may be ignored. Note 2: Original idea inspired by "Arrogant Young Master Template A Variation 4". I wanted to do something similar but have a more gritty realistic feel. The system SHOULD differentiate as the story goes on but if it doesn't it means I need a rewrite. Either way, read AYMTV4, it's great. Note 3: If you give criticism to be helpful, please try to be descriptive, specific, and focused on making my story better, not changing the story to how you would write it.

She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's.

Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary.

Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia
"Why are my hands getting warmer?" As far as Alicia was concerned, she was the daughter of a rich businessman attending high school. Then, she feels off and at the same time, she's not. One week later, her best friend brought her to another world(s). This is Alicia Bell's tale. 1st book written in the Wizards of the Otherworldly series. Wizards of the Otherworldly Court is a fantasy story about the Otherworldly Court, an inter-dimensional (or world-hopping, you get the idea) organization made up of people of all ages, gender, and race from many parallel or different worlds. They are granted elemental-like magic powers and called themselves 'Court Wizards'. They are tasked to watch over the many worlds they come across and step into these worlds on 'missions' to preserve the balance, life, order, anything to make said worlds better places in the shadows but may reveal themselves if necessary. However, these missions may partially or even fully oppose their nature, personal interests, and ideals. Yet, most of the Court Wizards are aware and willing to complete even the worst missions that would shatter their true selves that they will never cast aside regardless, either growing or regressing because of it. Basically, it's isekai to multiple worlds but each book after Wizards of the Otherworldly Court: Alicia focuses primarily on one world while also discussing its lore in detail. Book Alicia is the introduction containing the essential worldbuilding of the Otherworldly Court universe you need to know while shoving in as many characters and worlds as I can. Also, each book will have a different main character, sometimes more than one in a single book, like Jojo. Crossposted with Wattpad, WordPress, Sufficient Velocity, and Rainobu.
