Milestone Reached
They tell you to get yourself thick skin. The world is harsh, and the people in it are harsher. They will say things to you that will break bones and cause your heart to fail. It will try to make you callus to the horrors of this world. Your home is supposed to be your safe haven from such abuse. A place where you can be yourself, cry all you want and be as sensitive as you need to be. When that is taken from you. You can only do two things; find a new home or suffer.
My house wasn't burnt, but it was damaged. A tree had started growing out of it, breaking through the thatched roof for sunlight. I walked up to where the door used to be and entered. It was dusty, and I could feel it on my skin. Even more than that, I could smell decay in the air.
My mother, I loved her so, lay dead on the floor holding her heart. She was mostly decayed b

"James. Jamie. I wonder what happened to him," I thought. I leaned back against a tree and held the fishing rod tight. The water was calm, with only a gentle breeze making small little waves. Today was a good day. It had been good days for years. No heavy storms or monster hordes, not like I had to worry about the hordes.You see, I live quite far from any civilization. A small cabin deep in the Black Forest, which surrounded most of the west region of Chadel. Far away from anyone, especially my siblings.I was born in a family with seven step-siblings. According to them, I was the fifth son just by a couple years. The other seven were full siblings. They shared the same mother while mine was a concubine and was treated very poorly by the main wife. Children tend to mimic their parents, and soon my loving siblings bullied me as well. At

The cabin was warm, and it made me remember my father's. It was warm as well before time took hold of it."Jamie, you've been dead for five years," said Jonathan bring three cups of tea. He handed me one, and I took a sip. It was peppermint. He offered one to Kali, and she took it. Jon took a pair of scissors and started cutting my hair."Five years," I said, trying to wrap my mind around the concept."It probably felt more in the pool. Since time in there runs twenty times faster," said Kali."What pool," asked Jon. "And happened to you. You said something about two bodies. I wouldn't have believed you, but no one knows I live here.""Jamie isn't the first person to reincarnate to R

Just behind Jon's cabin, up the mountain is a trail that leads to an open valley. The green grass and beautiful trees faded away the more I traversed the path till only grey mountain walls surrounded me.Jon didn't want to tell me where Mattie was initially, but he knew that I needed to get past this. More like he wanted Mattie to get past this.As I approached the valley, I could hear the sound of metal cutting into stone. For the last five years, she had made her way up the mountain to this little valley and swung all her pain into the mountain walls and boulders.The moment I reached, I could recognize the woman that was known to be my sister. Her hair was knotted up, and her body unkept. Jon had tried to keep her clean and shaven, but Mattie would spend days to weeks in the valley.
Control C | Control V Catching Up
When you mimic someone, you tend to focus very hard to make sure you match your target. Dancers do this almost all the time. They make dance sequences, and everyone interested will copy. Now take that and apply it to everyday life. You drink the same, talk the same, eat the same, and have sex the same. A carbon copy, a clone, you could say.[Mirror Eyes] is very much like that. I could feel myself picking up every single movement that Matilda made. Every twitch to breath. Even the way she gripped her sword. My blade was now uncomfortable in my hand. I had thought before I acted. I didn't feel her emotions or thoughts per se, but I predicted what she would do by knowing how she moved.Mattie gripped her sword and shifted her weight to her back leg, and step forward at a crouch. I did the same, mirroring her. It was different. I could fee

The mountain screamed in pain as rocks shattered into oblivion under the weight of Raiden's Finger. Blue light illuminated the sky, forever scarring the Mountain range. Water sprayed into the air from the attack that had uncovered a spring.Synchronization: 100%I picked up my sword, which was only a hilt now. It couldn't handle the power I poured into it. I tossed it to the side.I unclipped my mask."That's not fair. You can't just give up like that," I said, looking down at Mattie. Just inches from her were the scar of my attack."You look different now," she said. She was no longer afraid or shaking. She had reached a wave of inner peace.
Control C | Control V Whitrock
The main road connects Chadel's cities. It wasn't paved like the streets in our world, but it was maintained by the cities that used them. This didn't stop bandit attacks, but it deterred them from using it as a source of their income.The Shi (knights) of the dynasty occupied the Capital and didn't bother to protect the main road. So it was left to one group aside of mercenaries. Adventures. That was our first step.Whitrock was the furthermost city on the main road if you don't include the border villages. It was bigger than a village and thanks to its importance being on the main road it was considered a city. The population was roughly ten thousand, with about seventy percent of it going to the adventurers.The difference between adventurers and mercenaries was that adventurers had

The Adventurers Guild categorized their members into four groups. Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Obsidian. Bronze being the lowest and the most populated. Obsidian being national adventurers.To advance in ranks, one needed to gather enough credits. Bronze to Silver was two hundred and fifty credits. Silver to Gold is a thousand credits. Gold to Obsidian is ten thousand credits. To put everything into perspective, a single quest can give around 0.01 to three credits. The idea behind the rankings was to incentivize adventurers to gain experience than to rank up. So when an adventurer got ranked up from Bronze, it became a huge deal.There were only about thirty Gold adventurers in Chadel. With only one Obsidian ranked adventurers in the Capital. The fastest way to rank up is by doing impossible feats like slaying a dragon. This was also the f
Control C | Control V The Great Dragon
Dragons. Where do I start? They weren't here first. The very first beings on Rolistra were Demons, actually. Dragons immigrated to the planet from another planet. Running away from some disaster. The Demons let the Dragons stay in the North, and everything was relatively peaceful.Centuries later, humans, dwarves, and elves showed up. The humans attacked the demons, stole the land, and put up fences driving them to the west. The Elves took the east, and the dwarves went to North.The Dragons didn't help the Demons because they were already a small amount and they didn't want to lose any more fledglings. They needed to stay hidden, and they did. In the North, there are rumors of a Dragon Utopia. A city in the clouds where Dragons live in peace. Not every Dragon lives there. Many didn't like the cold and moved to other regions. Such as th
