Legacy of Forgotten Times Chapter 5 The Powers Part 1

"I saw a nightmare... I dont remember what I saw but I remember it being scary. It felt like I lost my family forever and there was nothing I could do about it"

The best liars knew that the correct way to lie was to add truth into to lie and being as vague as possible, letting the other person filling in the blanks on his own. Nobody would admit to it but in order to be a successfull member of the current society you have to learn how to tell a good lie. Linri was no exception. Maybe he was a little better than the most because of his upbringing.

Linri's father in real life was a special forces police unit so he grew up being constantly interrogated by his father. Because of that he found easy to lie to others. In his eyes if he could decieve his father who was trained to see through lies there was not much people who could see through Linri.

Even in this case Linri didnt exactly lie. Everything he said was truth aside from the part where he didnt remember anything about the nightmare but no one would focus on the first sentence in conversations so it was always better to start with a lie and end with truth if you want to decieve someone.

When he was thinking all this Lyra mistook it with him still feeling down so this time it was her who came and hugged Linri.

"Dont worry sweetie. We are not going anywhere. Nomatter what happens we will always be together."

Hearing those words for some reason Linri started to feel better. Her voice had a calming effect on him and for a minute there he actually believed that they would never break apart.

After an awkard breakfast on Linri's part he quickly went back to his room. He started to evaluate his situation and what he knows.

First of all he was tarpped in the body of his RP character and he was forced to live his life. This was going to be hell because no one knew it better than him what kind of Linri will lead since he was the one who actually wrote it.

Secondly there was someone that intistigated this event. He wasnt sure who it was but Max remembered Linri saying 'him' in the conversations as if this 'him' was some kind of important person.

Thirdly This was a complete world. In otherwords anything he didnt specified in his backstory was something he didnt know about this world. For example Linri's mother. He didnt wrote anything about her except for some simple stuff but she was here. So he couldnt completly trust his knowledge about Linri's background as anything vaguely mentioned might be completely different from what he intented.

Now that he had sorted about his thoughts and gained some more understanding about his situation Linri wanted to try using his powers. Afterall this world was based on Autumnfall RP club and the setting of the club was a highschool for teenagers with superpowers like that comic book.

The catch was in order to have diversity in the club no two person could have the same power but there could be similiar powers. For example there might be Wind based power one of which was focused on manipulating the wind while the other one was a classic win mage. The important was the concept and the abilities.

The concept of Linri's power was Stones of Day&Night. In the day he had the power to bend any and all kind of power to his will but at night his power would turn him into a cryomage. In otherwords Linri had seized two elemental power seats. This was one of the perks of being some of the first ones to create a character. Afterall elemental powers allowed them to have more creativity and had more room for development.

Still his powers werent without any weaknesses. For example in the day he could manipulate fire but he couldnt create it so he needed an external fire source. That doesnt mean his power wasnt broken though. When he first created power there was one line the admins had failed to notice. He could manipulate 'any and all fire'. If you havent caught on to it yet he could also control other people's flames. So when the admins noticed it was too late. Because it was in the middle of a boss fight who was a fire elemental so in the middle of the fight admins had forcefully shut him out of the area and had banned him from rejoining the fight.

Following that event they didnt force Max to edit his power though because they didnt need to. There was a power progression system called evolution. It was kinda self explanatory. So if Max wanted to evolve Linri's power he had to readjust his fire manipulation to only affect non-magic created fire or he would have to stay weak with a power broken only in certain occasions.

In order to try his powers Linri needed a fire source and since this house had the same layout with his old one Linri checked his desk for a lighter. He usually had one on his desk because he started to smoke cigarettes when he was 18. Still he couldnt find any lighter on his desk so he went down stairs and got one from the kitched. Then he lit it and tried to manipulate that fire. He concentrated on the fire but it didnt seem to do anything.

Once he found out that he had no powers yet Linri was not disappointed. This was also in the background he wrote for Linri. He was born with no powers and he had later on gained them from Togk deities. In this world the Togks were the equivalent of Aztecs.

This also helped Linri realize when he was. He was currently younger than 15 years old since that was when Linri the RP character had met the Togk deities. So he had to quickly find a way to recreate that event where Linri met the deities. Still he was not in a hurry yet as he was sure things would still go the same way they did in the background he wrote. Right now he was in urgent need of some kind of self protection but if he was too hasty that could spell some deviation from what he wrote so he had to patient.
