Sorry i was gone so long this is one of the few collections of stories Imma keep updating let me know if u want a part 2 on a previous story within this.
-------------------------------------
"It's time to write a story, one of sorrow, my past, my hatred powerlessness." I sit down at my Asus Vivo book a laptop that has stuck with me throughout my life given to me by my grandpa. I begin to type the woods that come to mind detailing the creation of the world in another slot of my mind like the many other worlds I created that I perfectly remember.
----------------------
The world spins as I get up my thin malnourished body with a few bruises detailing my ribs I look down on the person who called my sibling a whore. Their face is covered in blood their ribs covered in bruises their eye turning black some teeth are on the ground next to them I smile vindictively. "Tell anyone about our little session and you will die by my hand" I watch them get up towering over me by a couple feet and still I smile again knowing I am stronger than them.
I begin to walk home where I know my father will abandon us to be with our drug bound mother who cares not for us but every little scrap she can get, any money we have she takes. I am the middle child of my family my name is Nathanael and I have two older sisters and two younger brothers who I care my best for. I wish my sisters wouldn't eat the moldy food we barely find and end up giving us the fresh food our grandma buys sometimes our mother throws out the food our grandma gets.
I smile seeing my sister trying to make food in the kitchen I go up to her and hug her crying when I realize I can never earn enough to save my siblings we will starve at this rate. She puts her arms around me and whispers "we are fine, we will survive. Nathanael everything is okay" her voice trembles as she comforts me. I then resolve myself and run out of the house towards the government building where they conduct the experiments.
{World Info: This world is a modern world where a portal was found where mana is coming from it this is only recent, so mana hasn't spread to all of the world yet, but the government of the USA has become tyrannical with the politicians in control causing the average population to have easy access to drugs and health falling severely. The government is forcibly exposing people to mana around the country. This process usually kills the subject, and the government guarantees contribution to the families of those who dies (this will not actually happen.).}
I had been under going mana exposure for months now with no adverse effects and now they were going to cover me in liquid mana that they compressed using a really long and arduous process. The small glass tub I was placed into was filled with a crystalline reflective liquid it almost shinned inn the dim light still as the dead even as I entered it. My body began to itch and bleed as the mana tried to fill THE VESSEL.
It could not properly enter the being who was surrounded by it as they had no mana pathways so it begun to force them to force in an agonizing brutal rearrangement process by this time the child had already passed out but blood was leaking from every pore and orifice their life hanging by a thread as bones were ground to dust and rebuilt with mana veins intwined within them. The mana now docile flowed smoothly into the vessel it had reconstructed the mana veins barely functional and warped beyond the repair of a master of Biological manipulation as mana itself does not know how to create proper pathways it can only use brute force.
(Mana is a symbiotic entity that gains more from intelligent creatures then stupid ones it entirely relies on instinct and propagates through emotion, faith, Energy absorption, etc. it basically uses humans to gather itself allowing it to more easily absorb energy. Elementals are just sentient mana focusing on gathering that type of energy. Mana itself has also gotten supremely lazy due to wizards in the world it comes from being so advanced that it no longer knows how to create a prodigy with itself.)
I smiled as I awoke the pain still lingered but I could feel that my body was stronger my mind clearer as if a fog had been lifted that I had never noticed everything was improved. A researcher was coming in and they had a computer with them and asked, "Any issues with breathing or mentally?"
"Beside each breathe feeling stifling not really and my mind seems so much clearer as if I was in 2k and now am in 4k." I responded slowly while looking into their hazmat suit actually managing to see past the darkened visor at the middle-aged female scientist.
"Please recite after me Nathanael. Gu Ta'ak Muv'ec"
"Gu Ta'ak Muv'ec" I felt the energy once present inside of me pour out in front of me into a small ball of mana its presence dimly shining and diminishing as time passes quite quickly at that."
