OmniCraftsman...
[Awakening Body Special Trait]
[Tough Skin: Decrease physical damage by 50% and Magic damage by 30%]
{Agh, my body, it itches horribly}
[Awakening Mind Special Trait]
[Parallel thinking: two minds are better than one]
{Huh?} ~{Huh?}~
[Awakening Soul Special Trait]
[Soul Shield: Decrease Soul Type Damage by 50% and Soul Possession by 50%]
{Argh...now the itchy is more depper}
~{Interesting}~
After a couple of minutes of torture, the pain and itchiness finally stopped. Now the most important thing was to check the benefits of my traits.
{So what is parallel thinking}
~{Something like split personality?}~
[Not quite.The skill allows you to think two different thoughts simultaneously. Making more efficient use of skills and information processing].
{Ah, so if I think the weather is good}
~{I'm hungry}~
"Fascinating"
**********
It's been two days since, and I'm still getting used to the parallel thinking trait. The positive is that I can have productive discussions with myself.
"Maybe I'm going crazy."
"What's that?"
"Nothing, Matthew, please continue."
This is Matthew, my "partner", I hired him to be the front cover of my investments. He is a 6-foot-tall African-American man in his mid-thirties.
Right now we are in the studio, or a room that I have configured to be a studio. He is giving me the usual report of revenue and possible investments.
"Like I was saying, the opportunity to invest in this company is good, according to the investment team."
"How much?"
~{His been pushing it for days now, why?} ~
"Eight hundred"
"What's the name of the company?"
"S.T.A.R. Labs"
"Very well, do it, but let me ask you something."
~{A hunch or bribe?}~
"Yes, sir.?"
"Why do you want to invest in this company?"
"I am... sir, the investme-"
"Don't make me ask again, Matthew; we have known each other for four years now."
(sigh)
"I had a hunch that this research company is going to be big in the future."
{Bingo}
~{Interesting}~
"Good. From now on, trust more in those instincts, and for that, I will give you half of the profits to invest in anything you want; don't let me down, Matthew."
"Thank you, sir, and I will not."
"Now go, and remember, I will not be available for a month, so take care of my family and the investments".
"Yes, sir."
He stood up from the chair, and he exited through the door.
*Click*
{Finally alone}
~{Is time}~
********
Every dimensional traveler knows that every dimension has an owner, be it a god or a devil, and only a couple of them are ownerless.
Earth shares many dimensions; there's many ways to travel to them, so the real problem is not how to get there; no, the real problem is the time dilatation, for example, the one I'm aiming for.
This dimension is ownerless; the reason for that is because it was a dimension of an older god that was killed in battle a long time ago, and nobody reclaimed it afterward.
It has a T.D. of 1d/1y, meaning that one day on earth is equal to one year there, so the reason that I went for all the trouble to find the fountain was tied to this dimension.
Also, it helps that I became immortal; now I'm not afraid of dying of a random disease or for something that I ate.
I only told my parents that I would be unavailable for a couple of weeks; as for Arella and Raven, I told them that I'm going to study in one of the dimensions, but Nayru can communicate with me anywhere, anytime, if anything happens.
"Ok, it's time." I'm facing one of my living room walls.
"[Kèter'elyon]"
{First, trace the form of a door with my rune carver} I put my magic in the rune carver, then careful, I trace the form of a big door on the wall.
~{Next, put a rune of space in the upper middle of the door}~
After finishing carving the form of the door, I pull out the rune and place it on it.
{Lastly, the chant, and I need to knock on the door three times}
"[Aboleo Extum Cavium Du Etermas]"
After finishing my chant, the door started to glow up, so I approached...
*Knock*
*Knock*
*Knock*
When I finish knocking on the door, it opens by itself, and on the other side, I can see a forest. I can see that the day and night are changing extremely fast.
{Why is there always a forest...}
I walked through the door to a new adventure.
______________________________________
Day 1
Now inside the forest, my time has adjusted to this dimension; now the day and night don't pass that fast, and the proof is that it is still daytime.
The first thing I did was check my surroundings.
{Nothing but strange plants and tall, unidentified trees.}
~{I wonder how tall they are.}~
"I need to find a base or create one myself."
The more I explore this place, the more alien it feels. Many wild fruits Luckily, I haven't encountered any animals yet.
{I wonder how they will look.}
~{I hope they aren't hostile}~.
By the end of the day, I had a shelter—a huge cave on one of the big trees.
_____________________________________
Day 5
I have the grace to finally say "Hi" to one of the locals, a huge bear-like creature; it has a thick fur coat along with some long claws on each paw.
*Raaghhww*
{[Boost]+[Flame Pillar]}
~{[Minor Protection](Me)}~
*Hugghhh*
*Raawwrgh*
Thanks to this encounter, I have the chance to see the utility of parallel thinking. I can focus on two different things at once, increasing my efficiency.
By the end of the day, I will have killed at least ten of those animals. This is not going to be a peaceful trip.
______________________________________
Day 16
I had encountered many more "locals" since that day, wierd-looking animals; no humanoids yet.
Some are aggressive, and some are just territorial. The difference is how much they chase you.
*Ghiiiack*
{F**k, not again...}
~{[Repulsive Blast]}~
Like it or not, this situation is also helping me to hone my skills and senses. In here, you can't sleep well or eat in peace; there's always some predador on the hunt.
*Giiha..*
{Ha..ha..ha.. finally death}
I've not forgotten my reason for coming here, but I think "Greeting" the "locals" It has its own merits.
____________________________
Day 32
I have been exploring, and I can tell that this dimension is small; maybe that's why it was never reclaimed.
It only comprehends a forest, a small ocean, and some islands. Maybe almost the same size as Azarath, if not a little bigger.
{I wonder how I can claim this dimension as mine. }
~{Maybe by finding the source of power in this dimension}~
__________________________________
Day 68
I have officially "greeted" all the "locals" in the forest, and I have tried every fruit that I have encountered.
The result: some near-death experiences, and explosive diarrhea. Fun stuff.
Like the old homosapiens, I have been gathering information about poisonous fruits and not really tasty fruits.
"Urghh"
*Spit*
"Another failure"
{Ok, fruit with strange swirls, eliminated from the (you can eat list)}
~{It looks strangely familiar...hmm, oh well}~
__________________________________
Day 120
Now that the "locals" ignore me, that's good progress; I can finally focus on my magic and runic studies.
Unfortunately for them, I have also compiled a list of tasty "locals,", so a few fights are necessary.
But for the most part, I have started with my rune studies by comprehending the elements that compose this place, by watching time pass, and by seeing the "locals" interact with each other.
After all, order and chaos reside within every living creature, just as life and death do.
_______________________________________
Day 240
I'm part of this ecosystem now, and the "locals" treat me as one more "local.".
With that came peace within my territory. Of course, from time to time I hunt the tasty "locals," but I don't actively explore anymore.
I have been engrossed with rune crafting to the point of leveling the skill up by five levels (lvl. 16). Although it doesn't seem much, on earth, that progress would have taken me at least a year.
The reason for that is that I don't have worries here; I'm at peace with nature and with myself.
{I didn't know that I was stressing myself out like that.}
______________________________________
Year 1
Finally, a year has passed here; it feels like only yesterday that I entered this place.
~Master, can you hear me?~
{Nayru, Hi, what's up?}
~Raven, is asking me to ask you how you are doing there?~
{Tell her that I'm doing fine, and I will bring her souvenirs when I exit this place}.
~For Nayru too?~
{Yeah, for you too}
~Yey!~
"Well, let's continue with this."

_____________________________
Year 15, Day 5
It has been five days since I became an OmniCraftsman, and the benefits are great.
[OmniCraftsman: Increase Crafted Item Quality by 50% and Increase Quantity of Potions, Runes, and Talismans by 100%]
So, now I can craft two to three consumables for the price of one.
Leaving that aside, I have finally begun the study of my magic [the Supreme Crown], and I'm going to test the limits of it.
