I am very well aware that not much happens this chapter, so I will be releasing the next chapter within about three days, and then you guys should expect a weekly release. I can't give you a day, cause it'll vary, but it won't be on Wednesday or Sunday, because those days are Godefiance's days. Also, I am co releasing this on my wordpress blog, as that's the thing all the cool web serial writers do. It's kinda funny I made this one before I made Godefiance's. Anyway, here's the link, and enjoy the chapter guys.
Edit:
While still relevant, here is my twitter. I'll post this at the start of all chaps from now on, as another platform to connect with y'all.

Well, something finally interesting has happened, so I guess you all can come back. The past few days has been me trying to figure out how the hell to leave my room, which involved various methods, including meditation and, uh, other methods. It turned out the actual way to do it was some metaphysical bullshit.
I had to feel it, I had to feel it so hard that a warm feeling seeped into the gem. It felt kinda nice actually, making me feel all warm and tingly. Plus the fact that I reaffirmed that I’m basically the greatest person ever. I’m totally ready for school, which is where I am headed right now.
For the first time since I’ve been here, instead of teleporting there, I’m riding what is ostensibly a flying boat. Now, why we don’t just use the spaceships that I have seen, i don’t know, but the fact that this is a flying boat is enough to make me not complain. What is complain worthy, however, was the classes they chose for me.
Looking at the list, they put me in the dumb classes. You know the one’s, those classes in high school where they sent the kids who either were too stupid or didn’t care enough. Yeah, that’s where the send the CHOSEN ONE to go learn. Wonderful, amazing, I’m sure I’ll be well respected by my peers. I thought I was done with this shit five years ago.
And before you ask, yes I questioned the old man about it. His response was to make sure I get grasp of the basics, since I’m an outsider. Which is another wonderful thing the chosen one gets to put on his list of reasons to bully him. Even when I explained my genius in figuring out how the stone’s work, he undermined all the effort I went through! Right before I was about the tell the old fart off however, miss Natalie decided that I was too disrespectful, and promptly took me to the boat we are on now.
Oh yeah, that’s right. She gets to come as my personal chaperone. I don’t know what happened to her, but the Natalie I remember does not conform to doing things she doesn’t wanna do. And one look at her can tell you all you need to know about her feelings towards doing this. I suppose I can’t complain, though. In the end, I’m living that wizard wet dream we all had as kids. And that purple sun certainly does a lot to add to my want for this.
I can’t quite describe what it is, but I feel a connection whenever I look at it, a yearning. A yearning that I can’t quite tell the origin of. I just can’t help but sigh and look away from its majesty.
Oh God, its majesty. I just said that, me! I don’t say that, I’m not some sentimental little prick. What the hell? Okay, now this magic thing is back to creeping me out. I recall that Natalie, when we first got on, tried to tell me to be wary of addiction, but I didn’t know that it would happen after teleporting once! Oh no!
“NATALIE, COME QUICK! IT’S LIFE OR DEATH! AH!” She comes running out from inside the ship, flagged by a few other crewman of the ship. They stay inside, however.
“What’s wrong Jack? What is it?!”
“NATALIE, I’M ADDICTED TO MAGIC, HELP!” She proceeded to get that familiar angry expression on her face, which is actually quite irritating. Can’t you see I’m in trouble here?! I can’t let myself get addicted to another thing!
“You absolutely intolerable twat.” She then grabbed her left ring finger, and twisted the ring on it twice. “I’m going to make sure you shut up for the rest of the ride.” She then flicked her ring finger at me.
‘What is that going to do? I just want help for my… Hey, why can’t I hear my silky voice? HELLO! No? Nothing! You vile vixen, how dare you vexedly restrict my wonderfully vulpine vocabulary! Why, you vy for the crown of most venal vampire in all of hell, being a visible virus that plagues itself upon the vestiges of humanity!’
And that would be a great thing to say if I could goddamn talk! The kind readers finally get a new chapter, but here I am, mouth sewed shut. Now, instead of my wonderful dialogue, they are stuck inside my head. Hell, now that I see the beautiful campus coming over the horizon, none of you can hear me be in awe about it.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
You people would be in shock of it too. It was possibly one of the most regal things I have ever seen, and that’s coming from the guy who’s trademarked every possibly spelling of “PrincessSlayerxxx.” The high, rounded spires would be reminiscent of… A Middle Eastern castle to you guys. The buildings themselves were huge, and had a more modern, rectangular design to them. Yet they were adorned with many swirls and shit that I supposed were ‘seals.’ They supposedly blocked unauthorized magic.
The creme de la creme, however, was in the center. All of the numerous building’s circled out from a huge building in the middle. While the other building’s gave off a silver sheen, this building was every color of the rainbow, but not in a harsh way. It was almost as if the colors were fighting, like they weren’t supposed to be like that. It was weird.
“What color do you see?” I will not lie to you here, men(and ladies), I was a bit spooked. I hadn’t expected her to come out until we landed. But here she was, and she also had a look of awe on her face. Made the place even more humbling.
‘Well, I see more of a rainbow, but a rainbow in which the colors are fighting for your attention. Of course, You can’t here me however, because you sewed my fucking mouth shut!’ I’d like to imagine my muffles had to desired effect, as she twisted her ring, and I felt my lips part.
“Now, I was was saying, you vile vixen…” Speaking functions gone again, damn it.
“Jack, just shut up and answer my question.”
Since I rather like my ability to speak, I decided to give her what she wanted. “I see a rainbow of colors with daddy issues, fighting for my attention and all.” Given her reaction, I imagine that most people don’t see that.
“I guess we can’t mistake it now. Oh why universe, why couldn’t you just throw a moon at me.” My guess is cause you aren’t Chewie.
“What do you see then?”
“I see a violet color, like my gem. Each color represents a spectrum of magic. Purple is the most powerful color, and green is the weakest. Generally, at least.”
“So you are one of the strongest, eh?”
“No, I’m violet, not purple.” Oh, okay then. I guess magic is a teenage girl now. To each their own I guess.
“Well, what’s the difference in magics? Why is purple better than green?”
“They all have their own properties. Green is more nature, while red colors are more energy, and blue is arcane. The spectrum is a lot greater, but you’ll learn that in the basics class. Purple just happens to be a combination of the two most powerful colors, in the most perfect way.”
“So… Does this mean that I’m only going to learn hybrid colors?”
“Actually, I think you will probably be taught all the base colors of magic. You are the only person to ever be able to master every spectrum. If you master the basics, then combining them will result in even more potent combinations.” That made a hell of alot of sense. It also sounded like a hell of alot of work. Ugh, why can’t they just do a mind transfer of knowledge or something.
“Wait, why can’t they just mind transfer the information to me?”
“Jack!” Whoah there, of all the faces she’s made at me since I’ve known it, this was the first one that looked not only pissed, but disappointed. But she quickly calmed down and sighed. “I can’t get mad that you don’t know, I suppose. Doing that requires that you destroy the mind of the person whose information you are taking. It’s a forbidden magic.”
“Oooo, forbidden magic? What does that consist of?”
Yet another dark look, but this one stuck. “You'll learn about them later, when you are ready.”
I hate that line, I am a grown man. I’ve owned my own business! What do you mean when I’m ready? I’m ready now. RIght now. I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it! But I don’t like that look, so I guess I’ll just learn about it whenever I face the inevitable bad guy that shows up before I know anything about what it is, and then everyone will say they wish they told me earlier. Hmph. I bet that’ll even happen the very next chapter, just you guys watch
