Side chapter

A long time ago, an all element wielding troll was born, or more commonly known as a shaman. He was peculiar in every way from a very young age, as those of his age went to learn either how to fight and hunt while the females learnt to do... housekeeping, he was always studying. Magic infused creatures, or generally known as shamans, were rarely birthed, more over one who has affinities over multiple elements.

Due to the nature of shamans being worshipped as god's apostles by others of their kind, they were allowed to laze around for the entirety of their lives, living like a royal most of the time. Everyone of them cast simple rituals from time to time in order to keep the faiths of their followers, while continuing to loll around until their nest was found and exterminated. But the little shaman did not follow the usual shaman-route, due to his curiousity at every little thing, from how everything around him worked to ways to manipulate the laws of nature itself, he always studied and did researchs on his own. Thus, he was labelled as "the peculiar one" by the elders.

As he aged, he discovered he had a better body structure compared to the others of his kind. He had a smaller body with a moderately sized, compared to human's, skull. His limbs were not as large as the others, but he felt as if he could exert the full force a normal troll could if he tried hard enough. This was due to the limbs having muscles which were denser than the norm, thus allowing for the same amount of force to be exerted, as a normal troll, while having the agility of a smaller creature, such as monkeys.

At the age of 5, when normal trolls started being trained, he instead set out on his first journey to explore the foreign world outside of his nest. Yet, the decision brought more harm than good. Although he was able to gain knowledge of plants and animals alien to his nest's environment, when he got back home, he was berated by his mother intensely for not returning home within 3 days, the time limit set by her. She was worried sick about his disappearance after 3 days from his day of departure. Everyone who gained knowledge of the incident judged the young peculiar shaman's decision to be poor, stating that it wasn't worth the risk created by departing from the nest, as they would easily get hunted down by adventurers, though he knew better.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

From his time exploring the outskirts of his nest, he gained a considerable amount of knowledge about plants. Some were medicinal, which could help heal a non-fatal wound, while some can be refined through alchemy to create useful products, such as healing potions and mana restoring potions.

From then onwards, he sought even more knowledge of the world to sate his unholy hunger for knowledge, while refining his skills on various elements to gain even more power, all so he could ward off his mother's worries about his safety before participating in an expedition. Hours of refining turned into days of work, while days of work turned into years of practice, years worth of accomplisments stacked as decades passed, and when decades could no longer be used to measure the time he took to achieve his goals, centuries were used as instead.

When he finally mastered his skills, albeit millennia of arduous training, he finally gained control over a unique element essential to the beginning of all life: fertility. It came as a surprise when the revelation was first made, seeing as it had always been happening right in front of him. The discovery of such a unique power, always within the field of his vision, yet did not even get noticed until now, made him feel frustrated of his previous self for constantly attempting to search for anomalies outside of his reach.

Gaining the ability to manipulate the fundamental concepts of fertility, he was able to make infertile trolls capable of impregnating females once again. The main reason for not focusing on curing the female's part of the problem was due to the ethics preventing him from actually experimenting on female subjects, even if they were voluntary, he still wouldn't do it, since it would violate his moral values anyway, he reasoned. He even created several unique spells just for males, such as "Penis Enlargement", which increases the penetrative organ's size while increasing the overall pleasure of the partner and "Production Overload", which was basically a spell that utilizes mana in order to increase sperm production, thus increasing pregnancy chances drastically.

After the creation of these spells, he sought to accomplish even more.

Though, half way researching his new found knowledge which was with him for at least several decades, he met a person that trolls tried to avoid at all cost: a mage.
