This will be a collection of short stories that I have written over the years. There will be some stories with male leads and other with female leads. Some stories will be fantasy, mystery, realistic fiction, LGBTQ+, science fiction, and more. If some are "popular" enough and any reader likes the story, I can create a "sequel" or just extend the story a bit. Anyways, I'll leave a brief description before the start of each story and the chapter titled will really be the title of the short story. Hopefully anyone reading enjoys :)

The author had an idea when he ate delicious Italian pasta. But the pasta came from Arabistan? Although others say that the Arabs borrowed the idea from China along the Silk Road. One way or another, it would be great if Dara could use pasta as a subject for trade! But in the modern world, hundreds of pasta variants of different shapes, contents, taste and color have already been created and are known. Few can surprise them ?!

But if ... if ..yu Daru move to another place and time?

Place for example, parallel fun! After all, astronomers say that there are 22,000 worlds in the world! But it sounds too fantastic, the genre is a fiction of history ... and not science fiction. Although consciousness could temporarily go to Nirvana ... or begin to travel through the universes ... but this is already from Chinese philosophy and Integral Yoga ... Little scientific. In addition, Dara is not fond of science fiction.

Therefore, as one of our design engineers says, it's better to bomb (that is, work) on your subject. So there must be a story ?! So this world, place Earth, but what time to choose? Paleolithic? This is 48,000 years ago. Then, for sure, there was no wheat ... and probably rice ... Then maybe in the Bronze Age? 3000 years ago? The era of the Late Holocene ... it's cold, the glacier has not yet been ravaged ... Although, wait a minute, the very last glaciation of the Earth itself was the Würezke, and this is 35,000 years ago ?! Or maybe Dara would end up in Sogd or Bactria. The language is more or less like Farsi ?! And it looks like the language of Small-An, Esperanto of the Silk Road, a mixture of Arabic, Monogol, Persian, Chinese, Turkic ...

For example, in the 6-7th century? Or immediately during the battle of the Arabs and the Chinese, who had the main Korean commander? The famous Talas battle ?!

It seems best to send Dara, in the era of antiquity, the first settlement of a modern, straight-walking person, that is, the time began to develop mountain valleys, floodplains, terraces, and foothill valleys. Sowing them with walnut trees and bushes. The beginning of a grandiose project on irrigation of the steppe ... the creation of irrigation canals. Visit of the Chinese monks ... the first century AD and as 5 centuries of the functioning of the Silk Road ...

But here I, as an author, already understand that there are so many different versions of such events - rebirth, getting into another world, a parallel world, into the past or the future ... that is, it turns out, again the plot can become a cliché or cliché. That is not original. On the other hand, in the 21st century it is naive to think that after the masters of the genre of writing short stories, geniuses and just masters who have gotten their hands on the writing of works of art, a new genre can be created.

One way or another, I will not endow the main character with super powers, only those that were in the novel "Magic Coin Jiang." It can be with a part of truncated functions.

Or maybe he'll send Dar to the 7th century ... a couple of years before Li-Ban's trip or while sending Li-Ban to the desert ... but then, it will be difficult for the Chinese, who know a lot about cooking noodles, to surprise them and make your business successful.

Therefore, it may be worth sending Dar nevertheless to the "Light" mountains. To not be too fantastic, his knowledge of a foreign language for him. And where will Dara find the money for her business? In those places that the Historian told him about? Will he be able to make a metal detector himself? Or, nevertheless, let the plot be borrowed from Japanese authors with their purchase of equipment on the Internet site or just a selection of goods in a shopping center? Or is it easier to equip Dar with the ability of his eyes and glasses to temporarily work in the ground scanning mode to detect gold coins and silver, copper, bronze, and precious stones. Like a superhero, Maytimaus?

I should think. In total, I plan to write 5 or 10 chapters on this volume. How Dara applies her knowledge from the modern world to become a merchant, open her own trading business, open her own farm store or become a speculator - a reseller. There are many options.

Tomorrow I will write the first chapter.

And along the way, you will have to work on the remaining chapters, Gifts, somewhat abandoned due to the arch with treasure hunters, but I will return to it later. Since there is still new information on this topic.

Thank you, my laconic readers, thank you for reading, this gives an incentive to write further! With respect and appreciation.

COMPLETED

The Silk Road ... it is inevitable the emergence of wells, caravanserais, guard fortresses, postal stations, local bazaars, regional bazaars, the emergence of new jobs:
- robbers (there were whole settlements)
- caravan guards
- changed
- merchants

Just about them and will be discussed.


About their life, tricks.

Alas, English is still the same ... there are mistakes, I am sure of it.

I hope over time I will be able to fix them.

I just wanted to share information about such an interesting topic as the history of the development of the Silk Road.

----
And also a series of stories about treasures, treasure hunters.

--------------------------------
This is a work of art. Any resemblance to real people or real events is purely coincidental.

I know it's pretty scummy of me to not even try reviewing some content to figure out how to write this blog but I'm dealing with newbies to writing like Nimu here. Even if Nimu DID request this, I'm going to keep this simple and easy to understand.

Why would I do that? Well, I'm pretty sure that even if I bring up tropes like the 'Uncanny Valley', no one will actually understand what I'm talking about and would only nod their heads like chickens because I said some big words or something like that...

That's why I'm choosing to keep this real. Now, let's start off with: How do does horror be 'scary'?

In movies, showing images that either poke at our emotions of unease or disgust is one way to go, or just throw a bunch of jump scares and call it a horror movie... Director's choice. Similarly, you are also the 'director' of any 'horror story' you choose to write.

Most horror writers have the wrong assumption when they think about writing 'horror'. They become trapped in unease themselves because 'fear' stops them from writing. Well, if you really DO feel that way, then just channel that into your horror story.

And no, I'm not playing with ya.

There's a reason horror's start off in a simple premise with easy-to-understand people, after all.

Have you never experienced a horrifying event or nightmare before? Fine, I'll give you an example.

There was a time when I was a kid that I suddenly started looking for my older brother who went out of the room that afternoon. As a kid, darkness made me feel uneasy, so I didn't like the feeling of going into the kitchen in the other room which was pitch-black at the time. And that's when it happened!

The older brother I was looking for jumped out of the darkness and scared the life out of me...

Now, from that short memory. What have we found that made this memory so impressionable?

The answer is that there was a 'sudden set-up' of unease before the jump scare, making it scary.

If my brother had jumped in front of me at any other time, I would only be mildly surprised. However, the transition between 'set-up' and 'payoff' made it more worthwhile. This is what you must remember.

Remember, before setting up a scary scene in a horror story, you yourself must first evaluate how much 'set-up' you are willing to make for the end payoff and if that payoff is even worth it.

The reason I got scared by my brother was because of the 'suddenness' of the event. If I had time to properly analyse the situation and realise that my brother was playing a prank, the effect of him jumping out of the darkness wouldn't surprise me.

Likewise, if there was fast or literally no set-up and the payoff was that an brain-like alien actually existed in my kitchen. I would be scared, I would be struck dumb because my suspension of disbelief would be broken. I wouldn't even know how to internalise that event if it actually happened. The only thing I would do is stare at the thing blankly.

Blankness is not fear, it's just your brain not being able to comprehend what you're seeing.

If there is less set-up to big events, the payoff would be low. This is the same for ten chapters of set-up just to reveal someone doing a prank. You yourself must balance 'set-up' with the intended 'payoff'.

However, that's not to say scary story's need surprising moments where something or someone jumps out from the dark. Even that show called 'Goosebumps' knew the best way to scare someone is to manipulate the emotions of a reader.

When something good is happening but there is subtly a small scene of watching the main character through the window, the reader's heart is gripped tightly. If THEY don't want anything to happen to your relatable and kind character, then they will feel unease even if your character is clueless.

Then when the payoff happens, the reader will be assaulted with a sense of grief and sympathy.

Horror story's are just like that. They aren't meant to scare the reader through flashing images or jump scares but cause them to feel deeply. Though this is also a reason horrors are rarely read by people who are looking for something lighthearted and bright.

You must know this target audience and prepare your story well to become a good horror. If mixed with mystery, then you must also make sure to keep what I said in my 'Mystery Genre Analysis' in mind as everything there is also essential in this blend.

(My other Analysis Blogs are in my Saved Posts.)

There are plenty of ways to make horrors not need mysteries by blending it with tragedy. However, it isn't something you can write with a bright heart free of ill-will towards others. After all, you must understand what makes people 'uneasy and disgusted' with something whenever you write something of this genre. As it is needed to bring out the best experience for those reading your work.

Some think Horror and Tragedy are two sides of the same coin. However, there is a reason these two are split up into separate genres. Tragedies might invoke sympathy in those who read it, but Horror strike the readers with true fears even if they are irrational.

Ghost stories make us fear the Supernatural, Stories about technology progressing beyond humans can control makes us fear Science Fiction, and even story about a mystical world which only curse its inhabitants with grief make us fear Fantasy.

We are rational creatures after all. We take each step carefully and are always uneasy about the unpredictable future, that is our mundane form of horror. We fear, and therefore we feel alive.

Thank you for reading~! Comment any more Analysis Blog requests to your leisure! 😆

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Sorry for taking too long. I was actually working on my own RP Amino after realising that I too want to have franchise like the Nasuverse where I can fanfic all my favourite stories into my own universe!

I'm calling this franchise the Gaiaverse! Although I've yet to conceptualise and bring in conpetent Authors who I can collaborate with to write some awesome stories with, I actually have a lot of passion for making this universe of mine popular!

The main appeal of my universe is similar but different from the Nasuverse. Instead of Heroic Spirits, there are going to be 'Dreamscape Spirits' who are both born through the imagination of humans and 'become real' through those thoughts.

What I mean by 'become real' is basically making it so even a certain evil tentacle god in tales by HP.Lovecraft becomes something that has history in real life after becoming a Dreamscape Spirit.

This essentially lets me take off any limiters in my fanfic-y universe and allows me write plot that normally wouldn't be possible. There are three short works I'm going to be working on that will bring out the appeal of this universe to the fullest!

The first is a story where Dreamscape Spirits from the Tales of King Arthur and Journey To The West duke it out in a story where these two 'factions' are opposed to each other for one way or another.

However, this won't be just bringing them out in the modern day as 'spirit contractors' will exist on this story to spice up the story. Imagine being a normal high school student or average salaryman when out of nowhere, you suddenly meet the Dreamscape Spirit of Sun Wukong who wants your help in defeating his long-term rival, King Arthur.

Although there won't be any genderbends in this story like in the Nasuverse where nearly 90 percent of Heroic Spirits are girls or a Saber rip-off, there will be more 'fictional' characters added in the mix.

For example: The second story I'm going to add into the Gaiaverse will be a story of Alice In Wonderland where even the rabbit hole she fell into itself is turned into something real. This story will be reminiscent of Pandora Hearts but set in modern times rather than a medieval fantasy.

The third but not in any way last entry to this franchise will be a story where more human Dreamscape Spirits like Sherlock Holmes and Jack The Ripper will exist, albeit not in the same forms as usual due to Spirit Contractors. The Jack the Ripper Dreamscape Spirit will have 'different interpretations' running around that a detective team will have to go around trying discover.

This third entry will be more of a mystery thriller where it's either piece things together or die horribly. I'm planning of turning this story into that since I just want to create stories that can add to the lore of this Gaiaverse. Of course, there is also a Power System separate from Dreamscape Spirits like Internal Martial Art Lineages and secret science fiction-esque organisations but those will be stuff in the background to improve the stories.

I'll be seeing you guys later then!

The story is the third entry in the trilogy of Battlefield Restart but is being written as the direct sequel instead. The events of Battlefield Restart 2- An Adventure Beyond Greatness, are contained so there isn’t much to be missed by skipping it.

This novel is about an Author being sent into the nightmarish world he writes due to his destiny. The main character of BR 2 appears but isn’t focused on much, as this is about the Omniscient Writer’s story.

Vol. 0 is skippable and isn’t essential to the story as a whole. Only something there for extra info.

Welcome, I am making a new book on a science fiction story. It will a book normally for who love science of space and robots or who go in robotics as this book will give you creating structures of robot in which there will be an alien land and Robot land in the universe which will be created by the humans but there will be other chapters which will boom your mind. If you love my science fiction stories comment me to write on any topic you want , I will do my best for that.

A story of robot who lived in parallel universe in which earth is fifteen years forward than present India. Take your seat belts to ride the future universal my own created story.

The man who was to become Valad Katsure lead a life far different than one expected. He had a younger sister, a whole family who stood behind him. However as he grew up, he began to experience the changes in which life brought. The world itself was never to be fair, but it was always going to give a good laugh. 

Valad and his sister always shared their friends since they were little. They were almost inseparable, never violent, never rude and mutually friendly. They shared everything siblings could possibly share in their own right. Morals were never a problem. Priorities were always set. 

He was the book worm, the science fiction nerd. She was the social butterfly who brought everyone in for a good show. Innocence was a brilliant thing, ignorance was bliss. However this mutual, unsaid hierarchy was never to remain the same. 

At the ripe age of twelve years old, Valad summoned his sister's best friend behind the school. The stereotypical spot to ask out your lifelong crush. Of course, when we say lifelong crush, we mean middle school crush. 

His sister's best friend was a young girl name Maddie Wilkson, she had short brown hair with adorable layers and often wore a pink tropical flower on the right side of her head. Her skin was that of light almond flesh, she had big brown chocolate kiss eyes that turned heads to tails. Her slender frame made her easily underestimated in the gymnasium as she was fragile and faster than anyone else. She was the track star, a young marathon runner.

Sadly she wasn't the only one present. While she was polite, what came after was not her fault. Around the corner, his own sister overheard the confession and sequential denial, but an offer of friends with benefits was given in return.

Mind you, his sister didn't know what this meant. She thought it was akin to something of being his best friend. In a sense, her mind registered her brother as an enemy, someone who was trying to steal her best friend for himself. The only thing that set her off, was the fact that he without hesitation accepted the offer. 

What sent her even further off the deep end was the fact that whenever she wasn't home, or when Valad was home alone, she'd come over without ever telling her. They'd hang out after school, they'd go out on dates, they'd go to the community fair together.

Even though she had denied his confession, Valad and Maddie had easily become a match. Come high school two years later, his sister caught him and her best friend late at night in the shower. She was having a sleep over with her best friend when she disappeared in the middle of the night. The last thing she expected was to wake up to moans and rhythmic slapping of two mosaic figures under the cover of steam.

This was when his life officially turned upside down. His sister woke up their parents and reported her findings. Maddie was no longer allowed to stay overnight, no longer allowed to visit the house when only Valad was home. Not only that, it seemed no girl was allowed to stay over anymore due to this incident. 

His sister spread insidious rumors. He became bullied at the school they all went to. Even by close friends who once supported his love for little Miss Wilkson, he was made fun of. Speculations were made, though they were all proven false by Maddie herself.

Maddie had been faithful and honest, she walked to school with him every day. Though every time she was sick or couldn't go to school, he'd end up being physically abused outside the school walls or on the bus. While many of the boys felt jealous of him, they joined in with their female peers. He was called a leacher, a pervert. Many of the students used words that they've never even heard of or fit the context all together. Outrageous rumors continued to grow to the point that Valad was called to the Guidance Counselor after the rumors finally reached the teachers.

Given twisted stories and several different false claims by female students to cast him out, Valad found himself expelled from the school. Maddie and her family were forced to move and he was left entirely alone. His parents set him up for an internet based school and pretty much locked him away. He was to be grounded 'for life' until he got his working papers and found a job. 

Sadly on his first interview for a job, he came across a burglary at the convenience store. He wasn't even given time to react when there was a sudden pop sound. His body felt heavy, cold and hard to move. The very shock killed him before he even had the chance to bleed out on his own. 

Life was relatively short, he had no regrets, but he did have vindictive thoughts there were never cured. His soul, or spirit, clung to his rotting corpse. Even as it was in the grave, he sat upon his name. He watched as those who either cursed or prayed for him. 

Besides his parents, Maddie was the only one who came. His sister refused to come to the funeral due to the fact that thought he was pathetic to have died from the shock of the event rather than the actual bullet, and hence believed he had no will to live.

When this was voiced by his sister, Maddie almost turned into a ravenous beast filled with pure rage. Even his parents couldn't separate the two girls as they battered one another. Tough it was mostly one sided, Maddie being on the winning side.

During these events a mysterious man seemed to appear. He was wearing an Italian suit made of a glossy, soft, fabric and a pair of dress shoes. His smile was bright and dazzling, and his electric blue eyes stared through him. No one else seemed to give him mind. Even as he walked between the parents and the fighting teens. 

Valad stared at the humanoid, for some reason he could very much tell he wasn't a normal man. 

"Vlad Markus, it is a pleasure to finally meet you. I see you have found yourself in quite the predicament." His voice sounded like a Romanian mobster rather than an Italian man, which was sort of misleading. 

Valad only blinked a few times, not knowing if he should bother talking to the stranger. He was having a bit more fun watching his beloved Maddie beat the tar out of his sister who had intentionally ruined is life. 

"If you don't greet me child, I will leave you here forever. You'll never pass on."

Immediately Valad's eyes flickered over towards the man in the suit as he gave an ultimatum. "Ello," he gave a upright cheery British accented welcome to the man without much hesitation. "What can I do for you? Would you like some tea? I'll set up the kettle in a jiff."

"… That won't be necessary," The man couldn't help but snicker at this child's sarcastic demeanor. Even though he could see the vindictive thoughts writhing about inside of him, eating him up from the inside out. "I shall send you into another realm where your soul may rest in a new vessel." 

Seeing the crooked smile on the stranger's face made the boy feel uneasy, if he had a stomach he'd probably feel nauseous right about now. 

"This realm is of science fiction, of fantasy. With Stars and with Wars. I will give you three wishes with certain demands. The first wish will be a single change, the second will be an unique skill and the third is a forever passive element. What say you? Child."

Honest, enduring. 
Introverted, yearning.
Talented, sly.
The world wasn't fair to him.
His sister, one year junior to him, socially outcasted him.
Brutally bullied by his peers.
Left to rot, by a world of sinners.
Dying from shock, he catches the attention of a passing god.
This passing god offers him a new life.
A life in a universe he is often too familiar with.

He is granted three wishes:
One Change. One Unique Ability. One Passive Element.

1. Palpatine's Yacht is destroyed in hyperspace during his mission to kill his family given by Darth Plagueis.
2. Indoctrination Force Technique
3. Game Element  ( System/Hub )

This is a work of fiction. Any connections to the real world is merely coincidence.
At least, I like to tell myself that.
My outlook on the world has always been bleak.
That is… until I met you.
I wrote...
I wrote, and wrote.
I wrote some more and then some.
Countless stories, some of which I published, many of which I didn't and only you were privy to.
All for you.
My raison d'être who died too young.
Can I keep writing without you here?
What's the point? Within the short day you've been gone I've asked myself countless times.
Can I really keep my goddess wife? Can I keep her away from the overpowered main character known as time? Of course not.
I was summoned as a hero? Hah! Don't make me laugh, I'm just a demon who'll be stabbed in the heart countless times till I fall to my knees and die a painful death in vain. At least that's how I felt when I watched your struggle. Could I ever become the hero in your world? Never, because you can't be saved. You're already gone.
My psychotic ghost girlfriend. A title where I wouldn't want you to understand how it slowly drove me to insanity watching you get weaker as you approached your death. You were my inspiration, but you were also like a ghost that constantly plagued me. As we approached the end of your life I faced the horror of our reality every day.
There was no happy ending by the end of it all. In the end I thought of countless complex multi layered layered stories that I just didn't have the time to complete while you were alive.
I didn't want you to notice what my stories hid till the very end. All I wished for was to make you laugh, but it hurts all the same.
I loved the way you lived, laughing free and unrestrained.
Despite your condition you read them to the very end.
This is the painful story of how I came to write comedy to make a single girl laugh.
A hospitalized woman who I came to love deeply will simply fade into obscurity without anyone to remember her.

So finally volume two is finished and now it is time for a new theme and new characters to come. I wanted to do this idea for quite some time now. What I am talking about is the theme of Modern Horror. 
This volume is going to concentrate on the fears and anxieties that come with living in this fast and technological advanced era. This era that is characterized by a urban lifestyle. 
The place, where the stories of this volume will be located, is Leipzig. This is another aspect of this volume that I am personally hyped for. Leipzig is a city I have personally been to and I can say I love it. I figured the best place for me to describe realistic Horror experiences is a City I myself experienced. To introduce you to the city, Leipzig is located in East Germany with a population of around 600.000 people. It has evolved from a small trade city in the medieval times to one of the fastest growing cities of Germany (10th biggest at the moment). It has many cultural highlights and a wide variety of different districts that are unique in their own way and give a fantastic stage for some good stories. 
What fears or topics are going to be the centre of this Volume? The topics are going to be the unique experiences only the modern days make possible. Following that, there are not going to be any general fears that are independent from time and age. Every Story is going to focus especially on the characteristic that differentiates today from the past or future. No Science-fiction and no history.  Realism is what I am trying to strive for in this volume. A task that is not easy accomplished, especially within the horror genre. Humans tend to reject any ideas that would induce fear and label them as fictional, not because they are, but because this is a natural defends mechanism of human nature. I am going to try breaking that border between reality and fiction. I want my readers to look over their shoulder while reading this, because they heard something. I want to stimulate the corner of one's mind with this chapter. Of course this is not going to be easy and I am not going to say that I will definitely accomplish it, but I have to try at least.

Each chapter is independent, but each Volume has its own tale. The first Tale is about a Daemon, hungry for souls and a soul that struggles against him.

"The Elements" are the dream of every child who start talking and seeing miracles with their eyes.
                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                               Yuzu


..

"We know that you have a tendency to almost all elements. Or, let's say, the elements that have the chance to genetically develop in your body. 

You have a tendency to feel, communicate and use them. Of course this is according to Altar. 

But don't be too cocky. If any elements' level just 0, then it must be inherited from your parent. Not your personal gift or something. 

Firstly, lets say you have a little talent for "A" element and achieved something to do with it. Then in the future, while leveling up, things that you feel and achieve are going to increase. 
So In the future, maybe you can do things that are normally difficult or impossible to do.

Yuzu stared the ground with a small smile. She put her white hand on soil, held her hand there for a few seconds, "Eren, will you please touch here?"

Eren was very much surprised when he touched the space where his mother used to hold her hand . The soil he touched was pretty hot. 

Of course the heat has many meanings. But for Eren, this place had a warmth and a pleasant fervent. 
At first he thought it would burn his hand, but after a while he realized that heat did not harm him at all.

It wasn't corching, but it wasn't weak either. It gave a feeling like..it was alive!

 Eren felt that he couldn't find the right words to explain. He turned his head to Yuzu. His eyes were full of questions. But Yuzu changed the topic again.

  "I was talented enough to be level 1 in Light Element at the same age as you now.
 I had nothing but my genetic inheritance. In short, I had no future for being an Elementalist. Maybe doing training with right methods would made a difference, but anyway.

The expression on Yuzu's face disturbed Eren. He want to comfort Yuzu, who would make the angels jealous with her single hair. But there was nothing he could do.

 "The ability I had when I was 3-4 years old was painful. I couldn't develop, nor did I feel my element for a long time.

No! It was as if the Light Element, which had my own genetic heritage, was running away from me."

I would never have believed that I would be the healer of my village at that time. I've learned a little about getting closer to Light Element and tried everything on countless years of work. My father had a nice help though. By the way, your Grandpa will give you a present tonight.

In the middle of a little nonsence, Eren got a clue for something unbelieveable! With the words of "I became a healer in my village, with my training…

Eren shouted!
"Wait.."
He just couldn't continue without checking the possibility.

"Mom, you saying that, people can have powers with elements with personel efford?"

"Yes Eren. I have been talking about this for minutes. Please pay attention."

In that moment Eren was both happy, and chilly. He thought, "Someone must be joking with me. It's not easy but maybe some futuristic rich bastard would do this just for his fetishes. I can't be in this magical world and I can't be that lucky, right? 
Maybe this is a 3d oh no 4D secret prison game. They are making me their strippers or hunting animal with a virtual reality?"

..

Eren lost himself like usual. After dozens of seconds, he managed to remember the important thing!
Too many elements that I have and I am free to choose. Am a losing… Wait a minute! Am I really free to choose? Eren again didn't let Yuzu continue.

"Am I free to use any element?...."

"....I mean, forget talent or chance factors. If I try to use and train to "fire" or "water" elements strong enough, will I get a special SUPER-POWER?!"

Yuzu shake her head with the meaning –"Yes." 

But she didn't understand the look on the eyes of Eren while saying -super-powers.

"For example, when I touched the ground, I passed the energy of the light I had stored in my body. I stored it from the air. 

If I try to make it more warm and friendly, and also channel it to a body part. Then this elements will follow my touch, wish, or control and heal creatures." 

Yuzu had tried to explain it as much as possible. But Eren had more questions like;

"Can you do even more? Like more heat while creating light on your skin, or using light to make you lighter and faster?"
 Eren remembered the name of a anime character from Earth. (*Kizaru..)

"I don't think it would be possible, even if I wanted my light energy to burn in a high temperature, I don't know how to do it. Someone like me can't do things you said. Actually for burning things, the most accurate element is probably Fire Element.

 What my element does is to feed and help the soil. Of course, I'm very low level right now. Just 12. So I can't be sure if light element is also capable of super-powers like you said."

Eren accepted these parts with a sigh.

"Well, does the human bodies produce any elements or is it found just in nature?"

Yuzu appreciated the intelligence of Eren with this question and raised her hand to summon a little bit light in the middle of nothing. With just her fingers, in the air, there was something blurry but eye-catching following her. Like this glow want to catch the fingers of Yuzu in a hot pursuit but couldn't do it.

"Our bodies cannot produce the elements. I think they are closer to living things than any dead energy. 

If we have the potential, we will attract and interact with our element. Whether they answer to you or ignore you is the main road of an Low Level Elementalist.

Slowly ,the light vanished and Yuzu just smiled with a little bit melancholy. 
From time to time, Yuzu talked about the theoretical issues and came to the most interesting part after a long time.

   " There are people, actually creatures who dominate their elements as they wish, but these special people are very advanced.

Eren wondered about one of the factors in science fiction and fantasy stories with a momentary impulse.

"Well, let's say, there are two people using the same element. They're gonna fight in two, but they have the same level... "
Yuzu replied without thinking;
 
"There are even differences between people who have the same element and have the same levels. The paths you choose based on racial factors and ability transform you into something different.
But I am not saying your percentage of connection and it's level are important. There are even names inherited from our past.

  Levels are set at decimal intervals."           (*10 by 10)

Eren had predicted that there would be a crap-evolution things on every ten, just like the cheap fantasy stories. 
But at least that didn't happen the way he thought.

1-10: Beginner Stage (not being called Elementalist until lvl10)
10-20:Novice Elementalist
20-30:High Elementalist 
40-50:Noblesse
50-60:Lloyd-Lloyd
…
...

Eren carefully listened with curious eyes, sometimes his eyes would see some parts of Yuzu involuntary, but mostly he listened this sexy angel with a serious temper.

..

  "..and most importantly, what element do you want to use Eren?"

..

Maybe even from the day he died and reborn, this was the most exciting moment of his new life.

Eren understood that this moment was a turning point and maybe the first real thing here, which he himself selected!  Eren somehow knew, he was being pushed towards a fantastic adventure which was specially cheap and very unnecessary.
He didn't want to go absurd way which he'd never wanted to do.

In fact, he was already bored of listening, and thought his path was written very childish.

""Pffff… .elements? Are you a kid! 

I have a ton of work to do and what magic spells or masters are you talking, just screw you God! This planet is cheat as much as you.

Listen to me cheap bastard! I won't attach your stupid world too much. 

Without adventure, without the heroic duties to be enlightened as you wish, without the journeys, without the good-deeds ..I won't be what you expect. Ahhh, why am I wasting my time with a not-real shit. ""

Eren sighed while trying to calm down. 

Select the element!  

Before everything else, for the respect, he thought the last airbender Aang. Secondly after forgeting Air, he thought fire of course.

Then, Darkness, which sounds even most mysterious among others. 

There was something strange named like..mental. Wait, what the hell is Mental! In fact, he has never heard anything like Mental! It was a part of soul or something related to brain, but.. Is it even counted as an Element? 

Eren thought, maybe it was like the power of the mind, able to stop bullets like Matrix? Probably Mental Element wasn't that cool but again it drew his interest.

Lastly, Eren learned from Yuzu some interesting things like, Electricity was dangerous for poor and unlucky people. Its uses, effects and training was always a challenge. Many people would die even from the City, which Sisna Village is closest to.



Although Eren was a mildly insistent , an important question came up, "Can't I learn and use more than one element at a time?"
Yuzu thought a bit because of the topic that she never learned officially but heard in stories.

"I've heard of people who have mastered more than one element before, but they've mastered 2 not more than 3 elements. Actually I have no idea with two element thing. For now, focusing on one is the most logical and safe thing to do darling."

Eren was now ready to say his pick. This time he forgot even other stuff.  With a calm yet resolute look in his eyes he chosen his element. 
Actually there were so many options in table and it wouldn't be easy but he chosen Earth!


He had a brilliant idea. If this shitty element system emerges as he expected, it could even be possible to make some crazy things he planned. With enought time Eren could shake this planet or go to the outer space. But If the elements were as he expect. If not, all his ideas would be worthless.
 
"Mother , how is the Earth?" Moments later Yuzu smiled with an approving glance. A little relief in her eyes.

  "The basis of my light element is often linked to my ability to work. In light element everything is related to your talent and thoughs. But the earth is the opposite!
 It is a tremendous element that can rapidly develop with personal work. It can make the body more healthy. I think it is a good choice. "

"So when and how do we start working ?" Eren immediately asked. He had more questions on his mind that they wouldn't end no matter how many times he asked.

 he wanted to ask. For example, in the continuation of the "Race" section of the altar. But there was not enough time.

..

 A minute ago, Yuzu leaned his head and began to examine Eren's body . She finally shook his head when he finally ended her investigation.

Eren was very small. Finger functions and joints were very poor. Even with unusual body control and his clever brain wouldn't make this little boy ready for elements or training.

Recognizing that Eren was still very small, Yuzu felt surprised. She was used to talk with Eren like two adults normally do. Now checking his body, she was sure it was still early. If there was something wrong in this ages, there would be a high risk of injury and death.

"I really should remember that he is just a 2 years old child. But sometimes he looks like a man. It is really funny that I thought this. It's embarrassing."

With red cheeks, Yuzu nervously cut her thoughts.

  "First we study the theoretical parts. Everyday, I'm going to teach you a lot of things that other people don't normally know. On this village, I am the best teacher you can find. " Yuzu smiled.

Sweet Yuzu felt very happy when talking with Eren more deeply about elements.

But when she leaned to kiss Eren because of his sweet face, Eren opened his eyes with shock and saw clearly visible breasts of Yuzu. Eren couldn't take this anymore and stood up.

 Even among Grandi womans, she was too beautiful. Too much! Even Eren thought, it was a crime to be such a beautiful being. He had  ran home with a distracted face. 

                                                                          ...

 

One year later..



                                                                   ...

*I died as thinking what would've happened if I lived one more time.

Without any friends, without laughter at all, and I'm sure I've never been loved.

No god, no angel, no family, no friend.. Nobody helped me! --- Not even one tiny miracle showed like the movies and books showed us!

I realized that there is no miracle, good luck or perfect coincidences in this life. I gave up of those crap.

..............

I thought everything would end. I'd sleep and rest forever. What a perfect plan for my eternity ha?

That was the fucking plan!

But no. Like Damn Earth wasn't enough, now I must live in this f*cking planet full of "Fantasy Crap".

Everyone keep talking about magic and miracles. "Just shut up would you!"

The village people who talks about evolution, the children blowing fire from their mouth, and the dragons I hear---all of these seem to mocking with me."Don't come closer you piece of.!"

I just want a normal life. I'm sorry but keep away your magic and secondhand miracles from me.  "Wait, I'm not sorry."

On this brand new life, just stay away from me!"

...........

** A story of the rebirth of a person who dies in a life of total misfortune. **

Stories about immortals have shaped human history since the beginning of time.
Zeus and other gods of Olympus were immortals. Adam and other early human ancestors were written in religious books as humans who lived up to 900 years old. Adam (930), Set (912), Enos (905), Kenan (910), Yared (962), and the longest-living human in the world which was Methuselah who died at the age of 969.
In the scripture, following the epoch of Noah and the Great Flood, was a period of time where humans, as punished by God because of their evil ways, could no longer live past 120 years old. This had been my basis for writing the story of 'The Alchemists'.
Alchemy is a pseudoscience (considered as not real science) believing that the entire universe is moving toward a perfect state where gold, a metal known for its indestructible properties, is the most perfect substance.
With this principle, alchemists believe that by understanding the secrets of the unchanging gold, they would eventually grasp the key to warding off diseases and organic decay, thus creating humans with physical perfection: the immortals.
 The Alchemists tried to find or come up with the chemical formula for the Philosopher's Stone which functions to convert metals into gold and make the Elixir of Life/Youth,  a drug that cures all kinds of and allows them to live longer than humans in general.
Topics about chemistry, spirituality, and astrology became the focus of medieval alchemy. Until the 18th century, alchemy was considered a serious branch of science in Europe. Isaac Newton devoted much of his time to this field of study.
Other prominent alchemists from the Western world are Roger Bacon, St. Thomas Aquinas, Tycho Brahe, Thomas Browne, and Parmigianino. It was this alchemy that later became the foundation of 18th-century modern Chemistry.
WHAT IF, the alchemists actually succeeded in finding the formula for the immortality potion and restoring the human bodies into their original perfection, so they could be like their ancestors who used to live past 900 years?
This is the story of the Alchemist clan who discovered the elixir of youth and has lived as immortals since 1450, ruling the world from behind the shadows and at the same time spreading rumors that alchemy is a failed science.
Because time was in their hands, these immortals or semi immortals did not rush to find partners and only bore children when they were already hundreds of years old. In their long lives, they learned and gathered so much wisdom and knowledge that no modern humans, who only have dozens of years to do so, could compare.
Because time is in their hands, these perfect humans acquired a different outlook on life and society than today's regular people who tend to rush and pursue temporary pleasures in the modern world.
They became people who have finally found a way to manipulate the elements and make themselves perfect. They now have all the time in the world to do whatever they want, learn whatever they want, and explore wherever their feet could take them.
To conceal themselves from the general public, Alchemists spread rumors that alchemy is a failed science and that all fables about immortal humans are nothing but mere fairy tales. Yet in reality... they are among us, living with us, and ruling the world from the shadows.

.
WHAT'S IN THIS BOOK SERIES?
In VOLUME 1 (254 chapters), you will be introduced to the Alchemists. The story is light-hearted and heartwarming. I intentionally started the series with romance to put us in a good mood before getting ready for the intense Volume 2.
In VOLUME 2 (350 chapters), you will meet more of the Alchemists and witness their internal conflict for power. This volume is quite intense but also passionate.
Later, we will have light hearted side stories (100 chapters) about the side characters before we continue to Volume 3.
In VOLUME 3 (approx 200 chapters), the Alchemists will face an enemy who found out about their secrets and wanted to destroy them. This will be the most intense part of the series.
Each Volume (except for the side stories) is an independent book, related to one another but can be enjoyed individually. If you like short novels, you can just read per volume. If you are into romance, go for Volume 1, if you like more action and sci-fi go for Volume 2. But if you enjoy reading long novels, you can just read the whole series. It's very flexible.
I could choose to write 3 different novels but opted against it because I am a practical person. Since the stories are connected, why not let readers have the whole series under one title? It is also for ranking purposes. Usually, once a novel is completed, the ranking will drop, I don't want that to happen so soon.
So, please bear with me and give this book a year to reach its final destination, starting in May 2019.  I intentionally only locked it from chapter 176 so you could enjoy so many free chapters and decide if you would like to invest more time and SS to continue reading.
I do hope you'll enjoy the first volume enough to continue to the next one. This book is originally written in Indonesian and most original readers who enjoyed Volume 1, cannot say enough good things about Volume 2.
They said VOLUME 2 is INTENSE, PASSIONATE, HEARTWARMING, and THEY LOVE THE ENDING!
I think the current original rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 2,800 reviews should speak for itself (you can see my author page and check the original version in Indonesian).
Thank you for giving this book a chance. Enjoy!
