This is about a boy who gains power from everything he reads. He also has some other issues to deal with, like the chaos, but he is also part of the chaos. His abilities and powers will continue to grow and manifest, but which side will he stand on?

P.S. I am just in 8th grade so don't judge too much, but leave some suggestions or reviews so I can continue to grow as a writer and make the story better.

Alright so basically I'm still with this adorable girl and I'm kinda gangin, also I hope that cool guy that reads my cancer reads this shit as well. Basically I'm still not doing anything right now except gangin with cutie girl. Some might point out that I haven't uploaded a new chapter for several months and to that I say yeah didn't ask, but if that guy that reads all my shit complains then I have no choice but to recognise it because he too is gangin. I'd like to end this off with me saying I'm going to be continuing this epic saga hopeful,y pretty soon. (As a side note I have QT Korean girlfriend)

This is a million-dollar story with countless movie and video game adaptions; marvel at my masterpiece mortal

Some authors in chat talked about a book's worth. 

Most agreed that its value depends on the readers' willingness to pay for a novel. And the most selling here in WN are romance and h e n t a i.

Honestly, it is true in a sense that most authors who don't write these two genres or have the general audience receive lesser income to none. However, there are also other genres that are popular.

What saddening is that a story which has no s** will be buried deep in the list of books.

One time, a person told me that he won't read books without s**. I think you understand what I mean.

Sad... 

Those good literary authors will just choose Amazon. I totally agree with that.

But, is that what really makes a book valuable? So, the authors will just resort to writing stories with s**  since most will welcome it.

I feel sad if it is.

I've been reading and watching epic and classic stories like Mary Poppins, The Twelve Kingdoms, Fushigi Yuugi, The Vision of Escaflowne, Star Wars, Anne of Green Gables, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, and others. 

These are great books but I'm not sure if the new generation is still reading them.

Hoping they are.

So, what is the worth of a writer? Of a person's storyteller's heart and creativity?

Will it just be buried deep in isolation? Will it just be following the flow of readership and abandon its desire to produce good stories?

I disagree. We still love good stories. There are still more readers who love good reads. In fact, these type of stories are more engaging and imploring. Those epic stories won't be called epic if no one reads them anymore. They are classified as such because their worth is beyond trends.

They simply go against the flow and create a tsunami, leaving people awestruck.

That is the type of book I want to write. I prefer to be remembered as an author who writes good stories without compromising the principles I believe.

Don't get me wrong. There are still good books with a bit of those s** things out there that you can read. But they don't focus on those scenes but on the story itself.

I am a person who never follows trends. And I care less what people call me. I will rather be true to myself than to follow the crowd and lose my self-respect.

In my opinion, the worth of a story is not only on the business side but also on how much heart and effort the author gives to his/her books.

To authors: Let us enjoy writing good stories. Let us be proud of what we write for not everyone can be authors. And not all writers can finish a book. The truth, most books here are unfinished.

To readers: Support good books and give the authors that confidence to continue writing good stories. Without your support, the authors might give up. If no one read good stories, then there's no point on writing one. But I believe most readers still love those type of books.

I  invite you to read the short diary of my daily struggle as a writer. No clear update but I will try to write every day. Don't expect very long chapters.

Started as an entry for fun and submitted for writing prompt #63: One chapter post but still ongoing.

 Please add tags: #diary #drama #comedy #author #writing

Please read my ongoing story:
The Sorceress' Heir: Blossoming Youth and Power

Zeke sits down and looks at the mess his Loonies made.

— Okay, i assume you both had something to do with this. But for now i want to just see what i got from the chests and packs they gave me on the city.

Zeke taps first on the Botany Upgrade Starter Chest and the three Epic Ability Chests. Fortunately, he checks that his energy doesn't deplete when doing so.

— So... I guess i should first reveal them. Right, took?

— I dunno. — Took says. 

So Zeke reveals one of the ability chests first, and when he does, it begins to jump in its place and cracking open. From it, trails of light emerge and five new items appear in the air. First, from a trail of green light, a card that reads:

ECO FRIENDLY 
JUICER ABILITY
25% Chance to produce double juice from a recycled card.

Another green trail shows another card that reads like this:

GRASSY ALLEGIANCE
TAMER ABILITY
5% chance to tame Grass element loonies if your level is greater than theirs. +1% chance based on the level difference on your favor.

Zeke quickly deduces from this card that his level may be 1. So it's useless for now, but may come handy later.

Now a trail of green suddenly becomes a blue light wich suddenly reveals another card:

GILDED SHOVEL
LANDLORD ABILITY
Active Ability
Cost: 25 NRG
Cooldown: 72 Hours.
50% NRG discount on shovel usage during the cooldown.

Zeke can see great potential in this card, tough he knows he should be careful, specially because he doesn't know whether getting too much terrain too fast may be troublesome or not.

Now a blue trail reveals yet another card.

QUICK DRAWER
FIGHTER ABILITY
When engaged in combat, you can draw 7 cards at no NRG cost.

And finally a purple trail reveals an item.
Landlord Ability Pack x 3
So, Zeke deduces that the difference between chests and packs is basically that chests can contain packs, so they may be even more valuable. That explains why people were given five packs but only one chest.

Zeke grabs the cards and saves them. Then he grabs the packs.

— Okay, that was awesome. — Anewbie comments.

— Yeah, I felt the same, and there's still more. — Zeke says, opening a pack. He expected to see yet another flashy spectacle, but they were preety normal card packs. Each contained three cards, so he got a total of nine Landlord Abilities, conveniently marked with coloured jewels to indicate their rarity and therefore their power.

He sorted them by that, surprised to see two purple jewels and an orange one. Again quick to assume that those were the rarest, he left them for the last and started with the green ones.

URBAN MASTERY
Grants a +10% boost to your stongest stat while you are near a structure you own (Stacks up to +50%)
ROAD RUNNER
Boosts your speed by +25% while you move in a road.
SAFE CONDUIT
Reduces 75% of any fall damage taken.
WORKING BARRIER
Prevents wild loonies from getting nearby you when you are nearby machines you own.

Nothing special it seems. Boosts for stats he doesn't really have that much of, and some security tools. After he reads them, he goes through the blue ones, there's only two of them.

THUNDER CATCHER
During thunderstorms, grants immunity to lightning. You will attract all nearby lightnings to you and get +20 NRG for each. (Can bypass your max NRG)
HASTY HEART
+ 2 to your base NRG Regeneration, Halves your NRG Regeneration period.

A few tools to manipulate energy consumption and recovery. As he remembers getting depleted of it, he realizes that this may be something usual between Landlord abilities. Then he reads the purple ones.

GREEN THUMB
Active Ability
Cost: 175 NRG
Choose one: Instantly grows and harvests all crops in a wide area. Or: Instantly spawns up to 50 loonies spread through a wide area.
LEADER CHARISMA
Loonies willing to join you will be instantly saved if they are wild and spawned in your territory.

This seems interesting, Leader Charisma could be great in the future, maybe even providing a reliable source of new loonies at no cost, if combines with some other cards. As long as said card exists.

Finally he reads the last, golden one.
DUNGEON DOMAIN
Active Ability
Cost: 500 NRG
Cooldown: 420 Hours
You can modify all dungeons in your terrain for free during the cooldown period of this Ability.

Dungeons? Well, it seems powerful. At 500 NRG it seems like it, specially because it's five times Zeke's maximum.
He then opens the other Ability chests. No packs this time, but he gets some interesting cards.  Seven green ones, two blues and a purple.
This time he read the purple first

COVALENT CONVERSION
JUICER AND ALCHEMIST ABILITY
Active Ability
Cost: 1 NRG per 5 uses.
Transforms a card into another card from the same rarity, category and expansion. At random.

Useful. Maybe he could convert the scrap he got to something else, or even abilities he doesn't use. Also it seems like some of this abilities are shared by two classes, curious. Zeke then checks the blue cards. 

FLUTTERY FLUTE
MUSICIAN ABILITY
5% chance for Wild Sound element loonies to will to join you if they like your music.

INVERT DISCOUNT
SHOPKEEPER ABILITY
ACTIVE ABILITY
Cost: 50 NRG
Cooldown: 24 HS.
Transforms 15% of the discounts you gave into earnings.

— Interesting! — Zeke says.
— What? — Took responds.
— This ability breaks some basic principles of logic, economics and thermodynamics.
— Do you know that most things you have seen in the last day do that, too. Right?
Zeke didn't want to admit it, but the bird had a point. Zeke had been accepting way weirder stuff without questioning, he had even been thinking about the juicing machine as if it were a normal thing.
Thinking about that, he forgets to read the rest of the cards and saves them.

Zeke awakes suddenly, just to see that the world he knew is nowhere to be seen. But then he discovers that he had became the landlord of a critter filled sky island, in a world where everything works with playing cards. Maybe being summoned here was the best thing that could have happened to him.

In New York City at night under its starry sky of lights, the streets were bustling with people, traffic and the overstimulation of every sense one could have. In one of the many towering skyscrapers competing with one another, on a penthouse on the last floor surrounded by tall windows that bring about the view of New York's skyline:
With an ever so quiet screech of a chair on the wooden floor, a tall man sat in front of his desk. He took a small sip from his mug. As if reminiscing about the first time he had tasted this warmth, he put down the mug to his right. The smell of ginger tea now lingered in the air.
"I don't know—" That's no good.
"I do not know if you, the one who reads this, will ever believe what I say—" Not quite right…
"I do not know if you, the one who reads this, will ever find truth in my words. You may also force yourself not to. Yet, know this. My conscience is light. This is nothing but the tale of a demon and his discovery of poetry." Hmm, I guess it's acceptable. I will need to have an editor read through it later anyways.
Now, how do I go about it…? Should I just lay it all out? Or perhaps, should I make it in resemblance to an epic? No use trying to be something I'm not. I'll just lay it all out as it had happened.
"When I had acquired consciousness, I existed. I was not given birth to, nor was I made. I simply sprung into existence out of thin air. And with it came knowledge. I did not speak any language, but was still able to have lucid thoughts. I was somehow aware that I was not a living creature, but a demon. That I was something that was unnatural. I did not have a definitive form and thus was not bound by one. But I did come to be with the appearance of a human being. Humans, a great force of influence on my decisions. Especially when they formed societies, which was also when I discovered more about myself." Not bad. Not bad at all. I may be going a bit off topic, but no matter.
"I digress. I'm convinced I am the only demon there is. I have never met another being like me. I do not know how or why I came to be. I can only think of it as being the interference of an existence superior to both humans and myself. Alas, this is all wishful thinking."
Perhaps I should explain why I call myself a demon.
"I have lived over twenty seven thousand years. And thus, I have been through most of civilization's achievements. Sometimes, I would partake in wars, revolutions and the like. While I am currently strongly against it, I do not blame myself. I only did what I thought was right at the time.
I am immortal. I cannot cease to exist. I have been through depressing phases many times before, and so, suicide is nothing new. I can regenerate at an incredible rate. And even if I'm put in a situation in which I can't, I simply reappear close by.
I have the ability to alter reality. Despite giving me omnipotence, as laughable as it is, it does not allow me to make a reality without me. My ability thrives in chaos. Be it good or bad, emotions are what feeds me. I don't need a constant supply nor do I need to look for it. Today's civilization and abundance of population are more than what I need." I can't help the feeling that I somehow sound conceited…
Just like that, the tapping of the keyboard proceeded until early morning, with only a few breaks; either to think about what to write, or to grab a snack from the kitchen.

The story of a demon who has lived for too long and can't seem to find joy in anything anymore. He whimsically decides to take up poetry as a hobby. Yet, little did he know it would be a life-changing decision.

Will be deleting this chapter soon
Anyhow! I got the response from WN and the problem comes from the symbols of the synopsis. ○● are a no go for the intro.

I would also like to inform you that I would be keeping this novel in its state of having no Power Stones. I am hoping to seclude this to the most minimal number of readers until I reach chapter 100. If you don't like the secret novel situation, you are welcome to leave.

To be safe, keep in mind that I have adjusted the characters' age again to 18.

Also, I am having a hard time making epic plots of worldly levels and would just stick to plain and boring conquest of women. If you are the ones who like planned novels, sorry to tell you but this would be an open-format novel with free choices for the progression of the story.

I just hope that we can keep this novel between us because having a lot of readers can be a bit toxic. Their harsh words dampen my mood that I always feel incompetent in continuing to write this.

So, this blocked format would only make this novel accessible to all of you who have added this to your collections. If you have not, then you can connect to the accounts of those who have written chapter and paragraph comments.

Aster shall conquer the hottest women and naughty situations such as MILF, NTR, and all the other smut are expected to happen. I'm also going to up the anty on fight scenes.

Anyways, happy reads. Don't diss WN for this because it is my free choice to continue the block. They could easily unblock this but again, it is within my free choice to do so.

The idea of writing to a minimal number of readers would be a great situation for me.

A nameless and disowned youth is sent out to fend for himself. Not known to his family is the secret that hid within him.

By his 18th birthday, the Lust Exchange System awakens from its long slumber. It assists him in his conquest to the peak and his life surrounded by beauties.

Heavily and strictly 18+. Don't proceed if you do not like these sorts of stuff.

Just a heads up, this novel is basically a mix of ideas and inspired from all the R-18 Novels that I've read this summer of 2020 (AST, TLS, TSSS, PPod, LK, ir, TPEC, HPSS, EaWwaS).

'I wonder what Pokemon is in this advanced Pokeball inside the box.' Zane picks up the black and white Pokeball and clicks on the golden button in the middle. Instead of dark red laser light shooting out from the Pokeball, a dark laser light blasted out from the middle of the Pokeball and a pokemon was formed from the black laser beam.

A swirl of black mist covered the pokemon's entire body, only its glowing red eyes could be seen through the black mist. Was it the eyes of Legendary Pokemon?

Zane holds on to his Pokeball and gets in pokemon trainer throwing stance kind of like a pitcher in baseball. If the pokemon attacked him he would swiftly place it back into the Pokeball which actually resembled a Master ball.

"Roaaaar!" Growled the pokemon as it slowly walked out the black mist on all fours with its cat paws!

"That pokemon exactly looks like the White Tiger I was training in the Yakuza! No way!" Zane's silver eyes widened with amazement as he went down to pet the furious little black and white tiger pokemon.

The White Tiger was, of course, way smaller and had two black demonic looking horns on top of its head, its fangs were razor-sharp and slightly protruding out from its jaws.

Zane quickly gave the new pokemon a name. He knew this pokemon wasn't from any kind of Pokemon Game and was the first of its kind!

It looked like a fusion between Raikou and Solgaleo with some tiny black dragon wings! It was a black and white color. [ A/N: Kind of like this pokemondb.net/pokedex/necrozma ]

Zane uses his System and forms a name for his first pokemon. A holographic gold screen appears in front of his eyes in an epic way he types away and starts checking his new pokemon's stats.

[Ryakko] "Based this off Byakko which is a celestial white tiger myth from Japan. Let's check out this fierce guy's stats,"

>Stats<

[Ryakko]: Male

Pokemon Type: Dark, Fire, Electric, Wind*

Level-1

HP - 45

Attack - 50

Defense - 30

Sp. Atk - 55

Sp. Def - 30

Speed - 70

'Holy shit this Pokemon's stats are insane for a level one pokemon. I really got one of the best starter Pokemon, but I still need to train and cultivate it to its Apex Form,' Zane rubs his chin in thought as he thinks of many ways to make his new first pokemon more powerful.

Zane looks at the glowing scroll the Shinigami had also given to him. He opens it and reads its contents.

[You have one more bonus wish]

Zane darkly smirked. This world was going to be his. He was going to become the most powerful and feared Pokemon Master who had ever lived. Ryakko cooly jumps on his shoulders and he begins to think of the final wish he will get.
