Shawn had trouble taking the book as it was a very big one. He returned back to his seat in the library and began to open the book.
When Stephanie came to see what he was reading she exclaimed"Woah. Dude don't tell me that you want to finish a whole book like that in two days"
'I just think that I could learn something from reading it. After all, there are a lot of books on the internet and some are just rubbish" Shawn said.
"Then might I suggest that you do something," Stephani said.
"Yes I'm listening"
"Why not just speed through the book and jot down a few keywords to use and research on the net.
After all there are computers in the library and you won't have to spend weeks at home reading an entire encyclopedia before you even start to write"
"Good Idea Steph. I'll do it" Shawn said as he started to look at the chapters of the books and scanned through the first few words on them.
Holding his notebook and his own he joined the main points of some chapters he found to be interesting and skipped the other chapters.
After 25 minutes he stood up and went to the computer section. Sat down, turned on a computer, went to the browser sections and began to type the keywords that he had written in his notes.
After 45 minutes, he was done with the research that he wanted to make. He needed to do this for both his essay and for implementing new things into the world of Ornio.
He already had some ideas and he still had ten minutes left before the bell rang for the 10 minute break. He would then go to get some snacks. When it was the next break he would goof around and during the lunch break section he would go to the cafeteria to have his meal.
The next five minutes were like an eternity for Shawn as he felt exhausted from the research that he had been doing. He would come again to the library after another time but that was when he was done with his essay.
Like that, the school periods went fast and before they knew it the bell for bringing an end to the school day rang.
Students greeted their teachers goodbye as the teachers left the class and the students packed their books onto their backpacks and left the school.
Shawn along with his two siblings and his friends all left the school together. Shawn was still trying to find a way to escape from Richard's questions and demand for his answers to the maths assignment.
He thought hard as he was walking out of school and came up with a plan. What if he..
*Nevermind* He concluded his plan and took his siblings home.
At this time of the day, his mum Emily would be back from work and ready to meet her children.
Shawn brought Stacy and Lucas to the house after saying "goodnight and see you tomorrow to Stephanie" to which he was replied to. Shawn got home. "So you were at school today," Emily said as she appeared from the living room. Apparently, she had cleaned the room.
"School was fine" Shawn said as he dropped his siblings' luggage such as Stacy's lunchbox and went straight to his room that was upstairs. He dropped his bag and began the formulation of his essay. Good thing that he had no assignments else to deal with so it was very easy for him to spend a lot of time formulating an outline of the essay before he began writing.
He started with "Many Civilizations of man all over the globe have had a certain character in the way of life of people today in one way or another. From these civilizations that were in the early beginnings became more civilizations and more civilizations all starting with a certain thing derived from the past civilization.
Two and a half hours passed and Shawn had written 600 words for his essay. The break he spent goofing around was also used to make a rough outline of things that he would use to detail his essay.
He came downstairs to the dining room. His father had already arrived from work and Shawn joined the family in eating. He enjoyed the meal and talked with his parents about the essay that had been given to him.
"Well from my idea. Civilizations have always been dependent on the histories of other civilizations to push for their own unique ideology. No idea is formed without having a subject matter" said Nick.
"I agree with you honey. Civilizations also take practices that were responsible for past civilizations successes and dump the ones that made them fall while trying not to repeat it" Emily added.
The dining table was filled with discussions of civilizations. "You two sure do know a lot of history," Shawn said.
"Yeah. You could call us history scholar parents" Emily said.
In his mind Shawn was like "Nope!!"
After having dinner, Shawn returned to his room and continued his essay assignment. When it was 9:45 pm he went to bed and when he opened his eyes he was back to the system and the map of the world of Ornio.
"Right where we were," Shawn said.
*Ding* Host had a quest to create an effective action that will affect the world development*
"I have one right now," said Shawn.
"I'm introducing the new world feature which is the technology tree.
The technology tree works in this format. An individual creates a totally new thing and this causes the technology tree to bring it as a new invention.
From that invention another user or maybe the user uses it to create another invention or improves to bring a new one. e g from making a candle into a lighter.
As more inventions are made for the betterment of people's lives, the technology tree stores these inventions and brings them up for people to use to trace back records and time periods.
The technology tree will contain the name of invention and age along with its use and requirements"
After saying all these a notification bell rang near Shawn's ear. *Congratulations you have completed the hidden quest. Processing a unique bed of action and determining CP....
*Congratulations you have been rewarded 2,500 CP*
"It seems like it was a very good idea to implement," said Shawn.
The world due to unclear records had troubles when it came to dating back the time of historical events and inventions made.
The technology tree could also help I. tracing history. After that Shawn proceeded to look at what other quests were left for him.
*Ding* Congratulations you have completed six quests. Rewarded 2,000 CP*
Requirements for Upgrading.
1. Earn at least 12,000 CP
2. Have at least five races in your world.
3. Complete at least Six quests - Done
4. Have an overseer for your race or world - Done.
5. Create a realm - Done.
He only has two more quests to complete. and 3,000 more CP to gain. "I'm already out of ideas," said Shawn.
Then his thinking cap produced something.
"Wait, do I have a free gift?" he asked.
*Yes*
"Then show me," Shawn said.
*You'll have to roll the wheel of fortune to unlock gifts*
"Show me this wheel of fortune," Shawn said.
A wheel appeared showing various names and Shawn didn't understand some at the moment.
Then he saw a race on it "Free race"
"Roll!!" he said.
The wheel of fortune spun and after a few seconds it stopped spinning.
Shawn prayed in his heart for the wheel to hit the free race tab but instead it hit.
*Free spin* which meant that he could spin again.
Filled with happiness and relief Shawn ordered for the wheel to be spun again and this time it hit the free race.
*Ding* Congratulations you have unlocked the free race tab*
*You can either choose to create a new race or choose from the existing races expect races that are two ranks higher than your current rank*
"I think that I'll just create another race since I might not get the intended race that I desire.
Plus my creativity hasn't been blocked"
"Use free race points to create a new race. Also how often those this wheel of fortune come"
*The Wheel of Fortune comes every 1,200 years. If skipped becomes known as wheel of fortune point*
"Alright then. Time to get creating again" Shawn said as he stretched his imaginative knuckles and began to draw"
As he was drawing."System what would have happened should I had no wheel of fortune points"
*Then you would have had to wait for a certain animal race or a new sentient race to evolve from the world*"That sounds really long. I'm very lucky" Shawn said.
System replied *It is*
"Two more quests to complete" said Shawn as he continued the drawing of the fifth race of his. He placed them in the snow lands of the southern continent. Meet the Thawns. A race that controls mana to generate ice and snow attacks, they have a skin colour of blue and white hair. Their eyes are silver in colour. Thawns can live for up to 130- 140 years. They had the traits of bold, fierce and discipline. They would always prefer obedience to instructions and rules over anything else. Only two races used physical energy, the remaining of the races used mana energy. *Ding* Congratulations you have completed the quest of making five races for your world Ornio. You have been given 1,200 CP* "Ok. That is good" said Shawn. The Upgrading Info appeared. Requirements for Upgrading. 1. Earn at least 12,000 CP - Done. 2. Have at least five races in your world - Done. 3. Complete at least Six quests - Done 4. Have an overseer for your race or world - Done. 5. Create a realm - Done. *Ho
Kadan you are more suitable towards the enlightenment and mana part so there you go" "Thank you master Shawn" Kadan said as he got up from his knees."Himlo you are much more suitable in being a figure that loves combat so you can have strength and speed as your skills" "Thank you master" Himlo said and also got up."Ikdo, that's your new nickname for Ikdorn. You are a protector of forests and watcher of animals and trees so take good care of them"Ikdo stood up from the ground "Thank you master Shawn" he said. Shawn nodded his head as a way of acknowledging Ikdo. He looked at the female one who was wearing a blue sleeved gown and had flowers on her blonde hair, blue eyes."Semna you have quite a lovely character so you'll be given protection, nightwatcher and Hunt""Thank you Creator Shawn" said Semna as she rose up from the ground."Since all of you have been given posts, do use it well. If you do something really had I am going to punish you and if possible erase you"Shawn sai
In the northern lands of the northern continent, within the mountainous regions that kept the deserts scorching and hot at bay.A figure walked from the grasslands into the deserts of the land.He was an hermit known as Idan. Idan was from the Korsoa tribe of the Goldorn's. Idan decided to leave his tribe and began the life of wandering across the plains of the desert, plains and the moist regions.He held a staff with him and walked onto the burning sands. Unknowingly to him, the winds blew more fiercely as he walked on.Then the winds began more fierce, he covered his facial parts with some animal skin. He continued to traverse the sands.From a distance and the dry winds that hit him countless times, he saw another figure emerge from another direction coming at him."I wonder who it is," he said as he came closer to meet the figure that would change his life.The figure was a goldorn whose hair was white, obviously as a sign of
Hor went on to finish the other two contestants and the chief had no other choice but to pass him the title of chieftain of the Dimoa tribe.Like that, Hor would begin to teach the other Harans the grueling training that had been done to him to make them stronger and more powerful than the other Haran tribes.Although this was a new and weaker version than the initial training that he went through. Hor became known as a chief who loved to see his warriors grow in power and would continue.Hor made a spear which would be known by the Dimoa harans and future descendants as the Himlo spears. It was a spear that would be known to the other Harans for its ability to control flames for those who are capable of wielding it including the next chieftain.The spear was made from a power crystal and had a hole at the place between the sharp end of the spear and the stick itself.From there a string will be passed through the hole which will be used
Shawn was watching the world of Ornio while on his couch.But beside him sat a figure with four legs, a tail and silver grey skinned wolf, It was Blan.Blan had been bound to Shawn and could stay with him as Shawn watched the world go by.Shawn sat on the couch and was thinking about what action to perform on the world."It could be a one time thing or a series of events that could affect the world. But either way it has to be something" He said as he placed his palm on his forehead to feign having a headache.Unbeknownst to him, Blan had been troubled by his earlier shout-out."What bothers you master?" Blan asked."Nothing, I'm just wondering what I should implement into the world for its development" Shawn said.Then a figure appeared from nowhere, it was Kaden."It seems like I should put an information regulation system here," Shawn said in his mind.*You wouldn't dare* the system said."Oh really, in that case do
The Maths Teacher, Mr Roberts looked at everyone and said “If you've completed your assignment, submit it to my office after that class has been completed.” "Yes," the Students replied.Shawn in his heart was literally screaming in joy. He was truly lucky indeed."Good today we will he starting a new topic called matrices""First you must understand the way a matrix looks and their arrangements.We'll be starting with a row matrix.He then proceeded to explain the various matrices used in mathematics before he started the calculations.Soon, the bell meaning an end had come to the class rang. "Thank you for coming to teach us Mr Roberts Sir," the students all got up and thanked him and as a way of sending him off."Remember to submit your assignments to my office immediately" Mr Robert said as he turned and walked out the door. Apparently he was busy today and so he decided to skip the ‘class review of assignment’ session and ordered t
"Shawn, are you preparing to ace the term exams this time?" said Henry."Yeah Shawn you should, you just need to focus. We believe in you. You can beat Henry Howard for all we know you've got the talent and the brains" Charles said."You guys, thanks a lot," Shawn smiled."Don't thank us," Stephanie said before walking up to Shawn."Just promise us that you'll work hard. You've been too distracted and I can see why your mum took your phone. She knows that if she doesn't you wouldn't even touch your notes" "I hope you are using the time that she is giving you to work hard and make everyone proud," Stephanie added."Well for someone who has clinched the post of Saludictorian in class for twice in a row to say that, then there is nothing stopping you Shawn from going for it, '' Charles added."Well it seems like she is right" Shawn shrugged his shoulders. "Then I suggest that you do what you need to do and we will do what we need to do,"
Shawn wondered how the sleep even came to him. He wasn't used to sleeping at home or anywhere during the daytime. "Alright then I'll get back to finishing one of those quests" he said before a tab appeared in front of him, letting him look at the quests available.Requirements for Upgrading - Complete Six or all of these quests.1. Earn at least 22,000 CP - 12,900/22,0002. Have at least eight races on your world - Currently 7/83. Complete at least ten quests - 6/104. Have two overseers from a race, your world or realm - 5. Have an evolved race - 6 Perform a specific action on your world - 7 Have one or more higher beings in your world - C“I think that I'll go with the quest that requires me to deal with the specific action.” He then looked at the map of the world, especially the western continent that was already small. The World was already at rank 2 so the land surrounding borders were improved.He decided to
The image of a dwarf with blue eyes sitting down, his two hands which were clasped together began to slowly separate as sparks of light began to converge to form a glowing brown orb. The scenery changed, the same dwarf stood in front of an anvil with a hammer in his right hand and the same orb in his left hand.The dwarf began forging in front of him and before he knew it, a black dagger was forged. The dwarf then placed the orb close to the dagger and slowly the orb inserted itself into it. When it was completely inserted, the orb was nowhere else to be seen, the black blade of the dagger gradually changed to a light brown color and it glittered even with the lack of sunlight on its hilt. The entire scene vanished and he found himself back in the realm of the technology tree. He was confused as the orb he held began to withdraw from him. Dulgol did not waste time to explain the vision. "What you have seen is the blueprint I needed to show you and now it has been etched into your me
On the flat yellowish-brown plain, a key guardian looked ahead, on his hands was a small red orb and his eyes traced the paper earth to the roots of a large tree, each vine or branch holding an orb in its place. Other key guardians near the tree were bringing orbs of different colors to it.All of a sudden, a blue figure appeared from above the tree. His eyes focused on the key guardians. "Who are you?" said the key guardian with a crown. "King Keystone, fear not for I am not a foe." Keystone didn't flinch at the strange figures' appearance nor his words, he still carried a serious expression on his face "I'll ask again, who are you?" "I am a higher being I…" "Regardless of who you are, you are not supposed to be able to enter the realm of the tree. Only we can grant access to those worthy of entering.” Dulgol was starting to get annoyed at Keystone's constant interruptions and hostility but he wouldn't want to start a fight with him in his domain.He wasn't sure what level of
The winter thorns walked towards the dome-shaped houses in the center that had a tower protruding from it like a house with a chimney.The doors to the house were guarded by four thawns and opened when they approached. As they entered, a thawn with markings made from crystals that seemed to be glued to her face was sitting on the ice surface. In front of her was a pile of logs that burned brightly, ironic for a place with no wooden beam covering its inner shell. The Thawns then sat on the floor and waited for her to open her eyes. Once she did, they spotted a glint, "I trust that the hunt was a successful one." She said."Yes Voice of Ulkezi," said Zemo. The female Thawn then closed her eyes again and stretched her hand with crystal markings towards the fire. Her hands began to shake, letting specks of crystal dust into the fire. "You have never been disappointed in doing what you must to protect this tribe. May the weather bring bliss to us at this period," She said then waved th
From the depths of the forest, two other thawns appeared, one wielding a decent-sized spear, made of wood and another with an ice bow. "Leader Meiz, the kill was remarkable," The one with the ice bow said. The female thawn at the tree top smiled at the remark, "Imreila, search the toothed tiger for any ores it might have, though it's little and still developing its form, it is still of value for the many thawns who are severely lacking in prowess." Imreila smiled at the response, "As expected of the one who wields one of the six powers of the weather," She thought while running towards the dead creature and cutting its chest open with one of her arrows. Meiz looked at the male thawn that was still standing by the tree side and nodded her head at him. He immediately understood that had to join Imreila in disassembling the Toothed Tiger. Her eyes gazed at the trees far in the distance, something wasn't right there and she hoped that her fellow tribesman were doing fine. "I can't tru
Logging creator into the world] "System, some time ago one of the tasks you gave me was to make something that would be beneficial to the world," "And I came up with the technology tree and so, I would like to ask if I can make a few adjustments to it?" [The weight of the adjustment is what determines if it would be suitable or not.] "Well, the technology tree was only a task completed. It has no form and no way of telling its existence so it's dormant. I want to make a realm that encompasses its existence" A tab appeared in front of his face, showing the various functions he could click. He chose the one with realms and clicked on it to create a new realm. “The realm will have a brown surface similar to the page of a group with a tree at the center of the realm. The tree will have orbs with a lock dangling from its branches, each orb holds special and historical information on what new device, item, or machinery has been created or can be made by the races. Those who can acces
After clearing his throat, he continued “Since you are nearing the top class of the ladder and the school is in its midterms for your second semester, I must tell you that after the midterms, we will start with choosing the prefects." Murmurs began to spread from the students in the hall causing the headmaster to cough again, returning silence into the building."Remember that a lot of factors will be taken into account when you submit your application and all that." Stephanie whispered to Shawn as they both sat at the seats at the far end of the hall. "So after next week, the prefect's applications will be allowed. Isn't it exciting?" She said, holding in her smile. "For our set though, I wonder who will be chosen as the head," said Harry who sat at the left of Stephanie."Academics, Social skills, Records, and many others are always taken into consideration for this application," said Charles. "You all should keep quiet before the headmaster catches you all," Shawn whispered wi
Hmm, the domain of protection, domain of war, domain of chaos, domain of shadows,"He kept swiping until he found one that grabbed his attention "Domain of Warding?" He clicked on the tab and read the description under the title Gravagor - The One Who Guards.[Gravagor lived his life as a normal orc in his horde until the attack of a group of monsters they call 'Grols', creatures with thick brown skin that could not be sliced through easily, possessed tusks, and lived in desert caverns.During the raid of the Grols, Gravagor lost his family and in grief took an axe and slaughtered two-thirds of the Grols that were invading. After the raid, the orc had lost an arm but still led a group of orcs to slaughter the Grols in their cave before eventually dying due to fatigue.]"Can you show me the location where his tribe is?"A second tab appeared and showed the area of the northeastern lands. A red dot around the western part of the map. "So it seems the Grols live in between the Goldorns h
The chilly desert winds during the nighttime woke Naz up from her unconscious state.She was surprised to see that her her hands were strapped with a silver black rope while her feet tingled with the desert sand."We're restrained by mana ropes," She thought."Where are we?" said a voice, few meters away from her."Shush! Urluck. We fell into a trap, "she whispered. "They had water, anyone would fall for it after crossing the desert for three days," Eiggeira refuted, "But I wonder why she did that?""It's because she's a sour hand," Naz answered."Great, first we lost our way and now we're about to be made sacrifices in exchange for power due to the crazy beliefs of a few dolts and mad orcs," Bickernash complained."I have to agree with you," Naz nodded. Urluck revealed a grin, "Not all hope is lost, we can still escape""The tight rope? It's fused with mana!'' Bickernash scolded. "As usual, the only purpose of your mouth is to be ran at all times" said Naz.Their bickering was interru
Urkezi gazed at the land of the oasis, the home of her tribe that was beneath her, and smiled as her figure turned into a shadowy haze. Around the oasis, a large number of female orcs stood beside plants, taking water from the source and wetting the ground around them then they took out small round yellow seeds the size of a speck from their animal bags then threw them across the field.A female orc with leaves wrapped around her waist and chest contrary to the rest in animal hides made the other orcs part for her. As soon as she came close to the wet ground, she then reached for the leather bag strapped to her waist and took some ash from it which she then threw on the ground before clapping her hands allowing more of the black powder to fall while she sang.After singing alone at first, the other females joined her to clap and sing. "Water from the oasis,Grow our crops,Ash from the dead trees,Bring forth new growth,For our families to use."Among the female orcs, one of them was
