  • by Matthew Thompson Two moons cast dim illumination on the city resting on the land below. Shadows danced in an abandoned ally as several hooded figures, both tall and short, shuffled toward a sizeable metallic building. Sniff, sniff, “I want my mommy!” the whimpering voice of a young boy bounced off the walls of the ally as he suddenly stopped while bringing his hands to his face to wipe away the never-ending flow of tears that trailed down his tender, young face. “Shut the fuck up, kid, you belong to us now;…
  • by Matthew Thompson My first trip to the park very quickly turned into a disaster, not only for me but also my Father, who was repeatedly attacked by Cinyah for laughing at my little explosive stunt. Cinyah scooped me up before I could even react to the pain spawning from my destroyed left hand. Then, before I could even let forth a single cry or tear, a bottle of orange liquid appeared in her hand, which she proceeded to pour on my hand expertly, coating every inch of the mass of mangled flesh and bone. I silently watched…
  • by Matthew Thompson When I woke up the following day, I felt fantastic after completing my first cycle through my Mana Circuit the next day. Not only did I feel fully rested, but I felt as if I could run a marathon while juggling bowling balls and doing back handsprings instead of running. My newfound energy reserves astounded me. While I knew I couldn’t fully utilize these energy levels, I couldn’t stop myself from attempting to sprint around my room like a lunatic, which ultimately ended with me faceplanting on the…
  • by Matthew Thompson Still Seated on the ground, I exhaled slowly and opened my eyes, inadvertently causing the world of color to fade away back to its normal state. Then, trying to reign in my ever-expanding excitement, I took a few more calming breaths before diving into the bundle of floating notification panels that Tobs had thrown in my face upon my level up. -Your body has adapted to having Mana Infused into it- -Your Mana Codex has Solidified- – First Tier Mana Circuit Formed- -Your Tier 0: Mana Breathing Skill…
  • by Matthew Thompson Once changed and fresh, I began harassing the System once again for answers. After several weeks of just calling it “System” a few days back, I decided to name it instead of just referring to it as such. Unfortunately, due to my lack of naming sense, all I came up with was an abbreviated version of its full name, and thus “Tobs” was born. But with a sense of irony not lost on me, ever since I had decided to start calling it with a nickname, Tobs would only respond to my questions…
  • by Matthew Thompson Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the pain and heat started to subside. Breathing heavily, I found it challenging to keep my eyes open, and soon everything faded to black. All I could hear was the soft singing of Cinyah. : Status : : Cynrik Jetlensr: : Human Male: : Age-10 Days: : Soul Age-29: : Level: 1 : : Essence(XP): 0/500 : : Distribution: 1 Per All : : STATS : : HP 20/20 : : Mana 11/11 : : Stamina 10/10 : : Stat Points- 16 : : Strength- 2 : : Dexterity- 2 : : Agility- 2…
  • by Matthew Thompson I wish I could say that time flowed quickly, but it actually moved excruciatingly slow. I’ll gloss over the embarrassing moment of being fed for the first time as a baby, even though, let me tell you, it was quite the experience. Not for the reasons you’d believe either, I mean, yeah, Cinyah is hot, but that’s my Mom now. No, It wasn’t as simple as just drinking milk. It was more like a transfer of energy. Cinyahs body seemed to be radiating energy of some type that caused her to have a faint…
  • by Matthew Thompson ♪Darling, My darling baby♪ ♪Rest your sweet mind♪ ♪Mommy will always be near♪ ♪Don’t you cry♪ ♪I’ll always protect you from all of your fears♪ ♪So worry not, my darling baby, for all of your years.♪ I was woken up by a sweet melody that seemed to wrap itself around my entire being. Slowly I opened my eyes only to notice how dimly lit the room was. As my eyes wandered around the room, I came to realize I was being held gently by Cinyah, who was slowly rocking me and…
  • by Matthew Thompson Warmth. That was the first thing I noticed the second I finished saying my lackluster goodbyes in the Hall of Gods. Comforting warmth spread throughout my whole body. -Reincarnation Complete- -Over-Break System full installation complete- -Congratulations on Reincarnation Host, Good Luck- -Prepare for Birthing- As I heard the Systems monotone voice say the last sentence, my heart dropped. ‘Birthing…. Oh, SON OF A BITCH COULDN’T YOU JUST LET ME BE BORN AlREADY! Why the hell do I have to…
  • by Matthew Thompson Odin’s words caused my mind to break for a split second. The amount of information he had just dropped casually was astounding. If you died wearing what he called a God’s Relic, your memories would be kept intact, and you would meet that God instead of being sent directly into the cycle of reincarnation. This kind of information would shock everyone in existence. Noticing the visible shock on my face, Odin continued. =However, this is a one-time deal that has a massive drawback. Suppose a God’s…
