The Wishing games.

The world is full of magic, the year is 1006 A.E (After Elio, the big God that all the people here worship's supposed ascend to the heavens). In our world, medieval times. It's full of all kinds of creatures, from elves to humans and even demi-humans who are a mix of human and animal. Of course there are many more magical creatures who don't classify as humanoid. Unicorns, mermaids, goblins and all the magical creatures you can imagine! Normal animals too, even.

Magic can be used by amyone, powered by mana that exists inside everyone. Though not everyone uses magic, as using more mana than you have can lead to weakness, illness or even death in some cases. So, magic use is often only for those with naturally high mana levels or the elite who can buy mana potions. Elves have the highest levels of natural mana, but some species of demi-human have even more. Humans have the lowest ammounts, but there are still a lot of them who are mages. But with good must come bad. There is also chaos magic, an evil type of magic that mostly destroys. Chaos magic is banned, but it doesn't stop chaos witches and wizards from using it to cause carnage. It's mostly used for curses, which are often put on objects like artifacts and weapons. Curses can also be put on people, but it requires so much mana so most witches who cast curses on other people die after doing it. Cursed weapons can be of two kinds, the offensive and defensive type. Weapons that are cursed defensively cannot be used and anyone who touches it will be affected by whatever curse was put on the weapon, wether it be blindness or death or whatever. Offensively cursed weapons can curse whoever is hurt by the weapon.

Magic technology has come far, almost everyone has their own scrying orb at home. This scrying orb is like a modern world TV, basically. There are also smaller versions that can act as communication devises.

In this world, Karma is a very real and very dangerous thing. Everything you do contributes to your Karma level. Everyone has their current Karma level displayed somewhere on their body, like a tattoo you're born with that changes all the time. Good/positive karma is displayed as a normal number (ex 16 or 59) while negative/bad karma is displayed with a minus before the number (ex -3 or -30). Most people have a Karma around 10, but a negative number isn't too uncommon as the system counts in everything you do to your level, even your thoughts. If you have a Karma level of 100, it's rumored you'll be allowed to ascend to be in the heavens as a demi-god and meet Elio, but no one has been recorded to reach a number above 80. If you reach -150 Karma though.. you die, simply. The moment it hits -150, you start withering away and die. Your Karma level doesn't affect you as a person if you don't hit any of the two numbers,but establishments like taverns and restaurants, will give people with higher Karma better treatment and prioritizes them when ut comes to bookings and prices.

The main five kingdoms, that make up the entire world as we know it, are the following;

Elechiniha, the land of wind. It mainly worships, under Elio, Ajashiel. Ajashiel is supposed to bring freedom to those who follow him, his ideology focusing on second chances and the ability to choose for yourself. The people who worship him often leave offerings of hand crafted items. Everything from simple flower crowns to whole houses have been made as offerings to Ajashiel. The kingdom itself is mostly made up of the main city and castle, with some large villages on the outskirts of the land. Other than that, there are large mountains without so much as a trace of snow or ice at the tips. The weather is mostly windy yet hot. The people of Elechiniha more often than not turn out to be artists or performers of some kind, their art unlike any other as it's without borders. You'd think a land with little restrictions and laws would be a hellscape of crime, but because the people there are raised without rules they don't have any want to break them.

Ajerbidel. The land of fire and war. The people of Ajerbidel worship, under Elio, Auori. Auori stands for power, fight and surprisingly loyalty. He is said to still be wandering the kingdom of Ajerbidel, disguised as a human. Over a thousand years ago, before Elio ascended, all the gods were on earth. Auori was said to lead his land's armies to many victories, but dissapeared after one loss despite only one person having died in the battle. Some say it was the god's human lover, some say that he was just sour at not winning. In Ajerbidel, the royalty isn't decided based on blood.. but on strenght. Whoever wishes to can challange the current ruler and if they win, they become the new ruler. Whoever wins this duel can choose to either kill or spare the person they duelled against. The kingdom focuses on raising fighters and soldiers, mostly to be sent to other kingdoms for their armies of knights. The Ajerbidel people are known to mainly use fire magic, it's people having a lot of mana due to their intense spirit. There are combat classes in schools, but they aren't required (though heavily encouraged, people who don't go are often bullied). On the first day of every month, they offer blood or gold to Auori, in hopes that he'll return. The landscape of Ajerbidel is charred with rivers of lava, the weather always scortching hot. This has made Ajerbidelians very heat resistant, but they can't handle the cold very well. Despite the title of this land, it hasn't been at war for around 800 years.

Teathitch. The land of frost and elegance. Its people worship, under Elio, Jihithi. She is the goddess of ice and posterity, one of the most powerful of the lower gods. Legends say she punished the people of Teathitch for some unknown reason with a big frost over the whole kingdom. Now, it looks like it's in the ice age, the winds cold and nights colder. Jihithi is, as said, also a goddess of posterity. They say she can see and change the future, atleast if your offering to her is big enough. She's known for seemingly only accept offerings of living beings, so the Teathitch people have made tradition of offering unowned demi-humans to her for 'a good future'. Despite this, Teathitch is the most refined kingdom of them all. It has beautiful arcitecture and an even more beautiful capital. It's royal family has been in power for as long as the land has been liveable, a bloodline of elves who refuse to invite any non elf into their family. The kingdom is very traditional in its values, valueing elves over all. Humans come followed by demi-humans having no rights within it's borders. If a demi-human doesn't have a owner (which they usually don't have as every other kingdom recognises them as humanoid enough for rights), they're used as offerings for Jihithi. The people here are often scholars or powerful mages.

Njorphi. The land of nature and earth. The people of Njorphi worship, under Elio, Ptumnia the goddess of nature. Ptumnia is known to be a very kind god, blessing the land of Njorphi with ground amazing for growing crops all year round. She is also known to have a demi-god brother, Pturni, the god of fertility. People almost only make offerings to Ptumnia, but expecting or trying couples often give some of their wine to Pturni as it's said offering him wine will make their dreams of children come true and be healthy. Njorphi is known as the second most peaceful kingdom, right behind Elechiniha. Almost the whole world buys their crops from Njorphi and it's people are mostly farmers due to how fruitful growing crops are . People have tried taking Njorphi soil to other lands to copy the fruitfullness, but it turns rotten the moment it leaves Njorphi. People often use the fruits of their labour, which is in often cases fruits, vegtables and bread, as offerings for Ptumnia. The people of Njorphi are most often humans and demi-humans, the kingdom being labled most safe for demi-humans of any kind. Though, there are almost no mages from Njorphi. There's simply no need for them, with how easy life is already.

Peklica, the land of water. The people of Peklica worship, under Elio, Lislith, the goddess of the waves. Lislith is the only god currently ruling her country. She acts as it's queen, sitting in the kingdom and ruling it from within. She's known to be both ice cold... but kind when need be. She keeps the land safe by constantly watching over it, but since she's in a humanoid body, she's more vulnerable and fragile than the other gods. This makes assasination attempts a once a month occurence, but the guards she keeps around her always stop it. The kingdom is leading is fish sales, as it is completley surrounded by water. People don't make any offerings to Lislith, since she's already here.

The wishing games are a hunger games esque gameshow that anyone can watch on their scrying orb! A bunch of people from all around the earth come to the place where every kingdom's border meets to participate in this game. The price? Is a wish. The level of freedom the winner gets with their wish is decided by their Karma level. There is also some gold for the winner, but that's a bit forgotten in the craze for a wish. How do you win? You find the temple of Elio, which is hidden away somewhere in the world. The time limit is however long it takes for someone to find it. Killing is allowed and legal in the context of the games, even encouraged. Small, invisible orbs follow the most interesting contestants around to get good footage for those at home.

Other: She grew up as a farmer, as everyone else in Njorphi. She just wants people to be happy and healthy.

Calin Agiu. Name: Calin. Last name: Agiu. Gender: Male. Race: Human. Kingdom: Elechiniha. Age: 19. Appetance: Calin has cloudy, light teal eyes with no visible pupils. His hair is white and fluffy. There is always atleast one butterfly near or on him. His body is lithe and barely has any visible muscle, since he's a long distance fighter who usually uses magic. His Karma level is displayed on his forearm. Personality: Quiet, calm, speaks slowly, always seems to be staring at something no one else can see, zones out often, people often mistake his personality for cold apathy because his facisl expression barely moves. He's kind, but many misunderstand hid actions as bad since he rareley communicates what he's doing. It's a miracle he even has a single friend. Other: Calin, despite how he looks like, can see.. a little. His sight is blurry and it's hard for him to focus his eyes and when he does, it hurts his eyes and head. He uses a bow and arrow, despite his problems seeing. This is because he can create living creatures who's senses he shares. He chooses to make butterflies. Sometimes stray butterflies will accidentaly join in, thinking he's just a hot spot for butterflies. He doesn't seem to really have a reason to why he joined the competition other than 'I was bored' and that he was following his friend, Boris. He was born to a family of musicians, but they dissapeared when he was 10. Cares for Boris deeply, more than he'd like to admit. Wish if they win: He'll figure it out eventually. Karma level at the start of the story: 30.

Boris Rasine. Name: Boris. Last name: Rasine. Gender: Male. Race: Elf. Kingdom: Teathitch. Age: 19. Apperance: Boris has light blue hair that goes to his shoulders. His eyes are bright blue and his ears are pointed, showing his elven heritage. He has what looks like snowflakes under his eyes at all times, looking to be part of his skin. His body is slightlymore muscular than Calin's, but he still looks small compared to Bai. His Karma level is displayed on his inner upper arm. Personality: He tries his best to be as kind as possible, but his family's bad reputation proceeds him and makes people automatically think he's evil. If he sees someone struggling, he rushes to help. He's pretty posessive over Calin, since he's his only friend. Other: Boris is the fourth born son of the Rasine family, the royal family of Teathitch. He's set to become king somewhere in his 200s, so he has no idea what to do with his life until them. He tries his best to not let his familys cruelty get to him, and luckily it seems to be working. They aren't exactly abusive towards him, but they never acknowledge him or his achievements. On his 10th birthday, he went outside of Teathitch's walls and ran into.. a seemingly blind boy from the neighboring kingdom, Elechiniha. That's how he met Calin, his one and only friend. They spend a lot of time together, mostly in Elechiniha since Calin would get treated too poorly in Teathitch. He uses ice magic when fighting, often freezing his enemies to make things easier. He also uses a sword. He may have a secret crush on Calin. If he could make it happen, he'd make it so that there's only him and Calin in the entire world and that Calin would become an elf so he wouldn't die as quickly.. though he feels selfish when thinking that. If he keeps on keeping his feelings in, they might bubble over and cause him to force it all on Calin all at once, no matter how overwhelming his feelings for him are. If this were to happen, it's unsure how Calin would react. While yes Calin does like Boris back, his feelings would be too much to take in all at once. Their wish if they win: For Teathitch to be more inclusive and kind. Karma level at the start of the story: 28.

Mika Ono. Name: Mika. Last name: Ono. Gender: Male. Race: Cat demi-human. Kingdom: Peklica. Age: 18. Appearance: He has blonde hair, a pair of cat ears podtruding from his locks. He has a tail on his back and his eyes are brown. His teeth are also way sharper than a human or elves, claws sharp too. His frame is lithe and skinny, height short for his age. His Karma level is displayed on his neck. Personality: Salty, often wants revenge even for small things, never forgets anything, can be quite goofy when he feels comfortable, but almost always has a joke in store. Other: Mika was raised in a popular Peklican bar by the two male owners since he was left at their doorstep when he was a newborn. There, he learned life skills very early on. He learned how to entertain people, how to mix drinks and cook food. He learned how to fight with his hands and legs, often using kicks and martial arts takedowns on his enemies. As a last resort, he'll use his claws and teeth. For some reason, his bad actions don't ever remove more than one Karma level and his good actions always reward a lot. His adoptive dads say it's probably the universes way of repaying him for getting abandonned by his birth parents when he was just a few hours old. Their wish if they win: To know about his biological parents. Karma level at the start of the story: 58.
