Early Years 2/3

Good morning you beautiful beings that stalk my every tormented second, its been a while, for me at least i turned 3 yesterday, and am currently watching the sunrise, as i look through my status.

There have been quite some improvements, excluding the level it seems as though the reason i had so many quests as a baby was for the sole purpose of getting a class, most of the quests i get now are related to small tasks the nuns give me, I still can't be bothered to remember any of their names. But aside from my distaste for nuns, i reached level 15 a couple of weeks ago, and so far i've been putting all my stat points into luck.

Speaking of Stats i recently discovered while searching through every part of my Status screen, that stats can only be raised through training up to 100, since that is the absolute limit for human beings, so unless i was able to come up a unique training method to break through the limits, my only way of increasing them further will be stat points, because of this once i have achieved 100 in Luck i will be saving my points until all of my stats are at 100.

Both my Wizardry and Wandless Casting Skills seem to have reached a plateu at Level 10, it seems as though just repeatedly casting Lumos and Nox, has a limited reach, i can only assume that it will require more complicated spells to improve those skills, but im going to hold of on that for a while, i'll have all the time i need for wizardry practise at Hogwarts, so i think im going to focus on my other unique areas until then.

Speaking of Hogwarts, it turns out im going to be able to speak to the big death snake in sallys hidden chamber, because i am a parslemouth, not naturally mind you i found a small snake and just started hissing at it using what i remembered of the films as a basis, until the parslemouth skill showed up and then i spent a lot of time with that snake talking to it until the skill reached max level, it didn't evolve which is upsetting but oh well.

My Dark Vision Skill however that did, evolve into Magical Dark Vision, So now i can see perfectly in any and all dark conditions that occur naturally. By Magical darkness i mean Darkness that isnt natural, I've been practising this by pumping a bunch of extra mana into casting the Nox Spell, and blacking out my room at night. As a fairly cool side affect of this skill, my eyes now reflect light like a cats, and seem to glow in darkness.

Onto the most important parts of my training was occulmancy, over the past 2 years i spent a lot of time practising and now have some fairly stable mental defences put up as well as some incredibly unstable ones thanks to my unique skill. So let me walk you through my defences.

The Most defended part of my mind is a small stone chamber containing a single book wrapped in chains, this books contains the memory and full experience of my death, anyone that opens this books gets to experience dying, every time i've opened this book my madness skill has grown, and it takes awhile after to stabilise myself to the point where i seem sane to outside observers. That small chamber has a large thick metal door that is indistinguishable from the walls around it and can only be open in one specific way.

That chamber is connected to what used to be the libray that contained my memories of a past life. Now the 'room' has walls, ceillings and floors made of thick metal, all of the book shelves are strewn throughout the room some seemingly floating in mid air, there is no order to any of the books of memories, with some books floating in midair. Because i realised, i am mad, and only seem to be sane and stable as such why would my mindscape need to be ordered. This realisation had a fun impact on the library as only mundane day to day memories are still stored with those books, Even then they are written out of sequence is a written form of parsletoungue. The important memories from my past life are written in parsletoungue in the grains of the wood that make up the bookshelves, once again out of order. Despite all of that my ability to access those memories hasnt changed. In order to access the memory of my death, every single book and bookshelf needs to be arranged into a highly specific place if even a single book is on the wrong place on a book shelf the door will not open. As this is my mind i can access it freely.

To get into the vault containing my meories from my past life you need to get through the memories of my current life. These are stored in what appears to be a regular library however, it is 3 storeys tall and the vast majority of the bookshelves in this large library are completely empty. In this main library every single bookshelf contains an actual memory, in its grain, once again out of order and in parsletoungue. Whereas the books on each bookshelf are all false memories based off of that one memory, for instance a memory of eating pancakes and syrup on a bookshelf will have a book that has memories of eating pancakes with various toppings, but none of the books will contain just pancakes with syrup. Currently i am practising making false memories which is where this defence came from, however at most each bookshelf will only ever be half full. All of the false memories will be out of order and in parsletoungue. To access the vault every bookshelf needs to be arranged into a specific configuration with the books having no affect on success, when in this configuration a large thick, metal hatch can be found underneath the carpet of the library if it is torn up.

The very first defence that someone needs to access to reach the library is a set of corridors, and these corridors where the first use of The Eldritch Mind of Madness skill, every single corridor has the same hotel-esque carpet and wallpaper, on the walls are alternating mirrors and paintings of the same set of corridors. The corridors seem straight but slightly curve to the left, with only a directly right angle corridor appearing after a set distance to the right. This set of corridors utilises an incredibly small amount of bending from the eldritch mind to become almost infinite to an individual travelling through the corridors. These corridors need to b travelled in an incredibly specific way to reach the library. They were based off of the corridors of micheal and helen from the magnus archives, as i used them as a basis of forming my seemingly sane mental state. At the entrance to the corridor is a simple pale yellow door.

The only other use of Eldritch Mind Of Madness, i have tried out is the creation of instabilities. The final chamber containing my memory of death is the center of the instability and it spreads out though the vault, the library and the corridors. To someone travelling through my mind this instability is quite harmful, although it has had no affect on me so far. It is at its strongest at the memory of death, so much that if someone perfectly average where able to enter that chamber their mind would be torn to pieces. However so far anyone with the tiniest bit of training in occulmancy or mental defence would be able to survive. It grows weaker as it gets closer to the entryway to my mind, but even so it stil causes an unpleasent feeling akin to spiders and bugs crawling on the underside of their skin.

The instabilty is limited by my wisdom as when i tried increasing it i suffered an incredible constant headache until my wisdom increased. The constant instability also makes it harder to navigate the corridors.

However that is all the progress i have made so far over the past 2 years. Unsuprisingly considering that my mind is entirely made from madness, i have been unable to communicate with any of the other children at the orphanage and in fact am almost universally hated by the other children and the nuns who seem to believe that i am a demonic child.

I mean really i only bit a chunk out of the kid, it all grew back, so what if he has a scar, thats a story if nothing else.
