Alex, pale and frightened, ran upstairs to the ground floor. She still felt chills at the thought of being manipulated like that. Just the thought of what could have happened if she touched that book turned her face pale. Alex began trying to relax by breathing in and out. "Suu... Haaa...Suu...Haa... Ok, Alex, Let's forget that this shit has happened, ever, and move on with your life". After talking to herself and calming down, she felt a lot better. She then went back to the waiting trio.
Seeing the trio waving at her while being busy reading the books they took, she suddenly remembered that she didn't take one back. So she went to take a book regarding healer classes. Surprisingly, it barely took 5 minutes to find one. She then sat down and read with the others.
From what the book stated, healers can be branched into subgroups. The 2 major subgroups are magical and not magical ones. The not magical ones were the ones who used alchemy and pharmacy to heal others, along with bandaging and sometimes a bit of mana. While they were not as powerful as a purely magical class's healing ability, they could produce the so-called 'healing in a bottle' that can heal others from afar, Or use items such as magical bandages that have recovery properties, Or skills that use little to no mana that increase the natural recovery of a patient. While they could not treat others during combat, after a battle, they were indispensable. Alchemy, in particular, was a major class that was indispensable to everyone, creating healing, stamina, and mana potions that can be used in critical times. They even had alchemical bombs that can deal major damage if hit.
Magical ones were naturally based on mana and spellcasting. This group can be divided into 2 further subgroups, which were full healers and half healers. Full healers were classes that devoted everything to healing, buffing, and protecting, leaving themselves pretty vulnerable alone. Half healers were those whose class was a hybrid with something else, most commonly being a combat healer, capable of short-ranged healing while fighting on the frontlines. Such classes were usually paladins and monks and the such. Other hybrid classes were simply half healer and half mage classes, capable of both casting offensive spells and healing. A prime example would be the 'Judge Of Light' class, being both an offensive and healing light mage.
Both of these magical subgroups can be further divided into 3 subgroups. Faith-based ones, that were worshiping a god of something, usually of the good alignment. They channeled divine energies granted by said god. While they had stronger healing than non-faith-based classes, they were also at the mercy of the god they worshipped. It did not help that many gods had strange and eccentric doctrines. Alex's mother stated that if she ever took a faith-based class then she will disown her. That was just how bad faith-based classes can get, and yet most healers still pick it, a testament of its effectiveness. The second type was element based healing. While it states that it is element based, in fact, can also include pure element-less mana and arcane healing. This type of healing is not reliant on a god, but your own mana. It is harder to control and is usually less effective than faith-based healing. The last type is the shamanic and ritualistic healer types. They use spirits or sacrifices as a medium for healing. It is by far the least effective of them since they are usually not focused on healing alone.
Alex was looking through the elemental healing, specifically of the chaos element. Unsurprisingly, she did not manage to find anything. It was not because it did not exist per se, but chaos magic was unpopular. Most people used it in offensive magic. Some used it for its corruptive nature. As for the rest, they usually belonged to some eldritch worshiping cults. Even if those cults knew of healing magics of the chaos element, they would never share it.
Sighing at her unfruitful harvest, she closed the book. Looking at the large magical clock on the wall, it was now 7 in the evening, and she and the girls needed to eat dinner, and then go to the occult stadium for the summoning at 9.
As the girls returned the books to the shelves and were about to leave, the apathetic librarian stopped them at the exit and said, "The three of you go, I need to talk a bit with Alex, alone". The girls looked at Alex, who looked a bit pale. Natasha said, "Alex, we will wait for you outside, ok?". Alex nodded with a forced smile.
The librarian said with concern, "Alex, today you are about to summon your familiar. Originally, I was not too worried even if you summoned an eldritch. After all, you are a blessed child of chaos. You are resistant to chaos and corruption and should be on very good terms with whatever you summon, generally speaking. However, I am afraid that it might not be so simple now... You might accidentally summon something out of your league. I can't convince you to not summon your familiar, but I can at least give you something for protection".
As she said that, the librarian took something out of her pocket. A white necklace, studded with bright magical gems. It had various runes inscribed on it. When Alex identified it, It was named Greater necklace of mind and soul protection. Alex was greatly surprised, it was a very powerful piece of equipment. A greater magic item was usually crafter by an artisan at above level 200 in his class. Artisans and craftsmen classes had a much harder time reaching higher levels. Among the humanoids, level 200 equipment were as rare as they were expensive. Usually, they were only obtained in high-level dungeons through risking many lives. Protection jewelry was 10 times as harder to obtain than normal equipment. Even her mother, who was a lvl 230 witch, only had a single level 200 equipment, and that was her wand, that she risked her life to get.
Alex stammered, feeling greatly touched, "Miss librarian... Thank you!". She then reached and gave her a big hug. The librarian revealed a hint of a rare warm smile as she hugged back. After a bit, Alex let go, bowed deeply, and went to her friends waiting outside, not forgetting to put on the necklace, tucked behind her shirt so that no one will see.
The trio knew better than ask what she talked about inside and went to get dinner. After dinner, it was now 8.
They were all ready, so they just chatted until 8:45, and then walked to the occult stadium, a very large building, that could house an opera house easily. Many witches were coming to the entrance. Some of them were third years like Alex and co, and others were from the first and second years, along with some official witches who came to watch. It was a bustling and lively scene.
At 9 o'clock sharp, the doors were opened, and a sexy witch, who looked in her late twenties, was standing at the entrance. She had silver hair, long pointy ears, emerald green eyes, 1.75m tall, DD Cup breasts, a seductive face that looked like a more mature Alex, and a body shape that looked similar. She was the youngest elder in the academy and Alex's mother, Catherina La Croix.

No, ew, gross. Why would you even implement it in a pornographic novel? Votes: 16 8.7%
The only reason incest is taboo is because the closer the parents are to each other the higher the chances for genetic deformities to occur in a resulting child, and because of the problems with childbirth it gradually became taboo, but there would be no health problems if a mother and daughter each bore a child from the same guy, there would be a new sister and niece, and an aunt-sister.....if it is sister-sister, while incest, there would be no problems other than how people would look at them.
No, that's patently false. You have to have many generations of incest for there to be a greater likelihood for genetic deformities. It's not gross because of blood relations. It's gross because of familial relations. If you were having s*x with a random girl and suddenly discovered that you were biological siblings I wouldn't find that disgusting in the least. If you were having s*x with your adopted sister that you had no blood relation with at all but grew up with since you were babies that would be absolutely disgusting.
@Rale Tyrion Lannister would agree with you. That said, I would actually find it very disturbed to sleep with a blood-related sibling, who I did not know was one.
As for sleeping with an unrelated adopted sibling? depends on how long you knew each other. If it was from the crib? yes, I would be disturbed. If it was from age 8-10? That is the gray zone. If 14+ then for me it is in the OK zone.
You might have already guessed, but since the male population is only a fourth in this novel, women are most sexually open for lesbian sex. Having 2 sisters, or even a mother and daughter being pole sisters to a single man is not that uncommon (To an unrelated man).
Everything is just relative to culture.
Okay, so I specifically made an account to talk to QQundeadwolfQQ. The power dynamic that is involved with incestuous relationships is the layers of the sh*t cake. While yes, the genetic aspect is something to be aware of; it is only the icing. You are interacting with an undeveloped human, you are providing protection to - if you are a parent or uncle. Who are they mirroring? YOU! Who is the only person they can trust? YOU! Now if this person you put complete faith in uses that trust to manipulate you, are you really going to do anything about it? f*ck no, you know no other options.
Tho this peice is fiction, let's not dilude ourselves and push a horrific narrative into the real world. Sorry for the real shit.
@bignt It's not really that unheard of in some polygamous cultures on Earth. If you didn't know them before you both went through puberty I probably wouldn't be bothered by it, so 14 seems about right. That's only siblings though. Never ok for a parent child relationship.
@Rale In the past, many times mother and daughter became pole sisters. Imagine, what would happen when people have much longer lifespans, and the male to female population is 1:3.
I'm not saying that they need to have a direct sexual relationship with each other, but sharing a man is definitely a thing.
@bignt the fictional is just that but in real life it gets horrific and ugly
You’re wrong. Don’t feel alone, so are almost all the other people replying g to this thread. The reason incest is taboo in Western civilization is because of property and hereditary rights, arbitrated by the church. Genetics and all the other issues that have been mentioned weren’t even considered the vaguest possibilities when those decisions were made.
You have to separate out the distinction between why incest is taboo and why it’s bad. They’re two completely different things.
The power disparity is one of the big ones, but that’s only seen as wrong when you look back with a very modern perspective. Not that long ago it was seen as desirable. Controlling he sexual reproduction of women is pretty much the major underlying reason patriarchy is a thing ;-)
@BoonDock thanks for clarifying i just mentioned what i knew which may not be 100% accurate, thanks!
@BoonDock agreed man well said
@BoonDock Except the exact opposite was quite frequently true...
The reasons you state against it is exactly why inbreeding was a common practice among many royals and not considered wrong or taboo for quite a long period of time.
@Rale come on we know what all the royal turned as (chopped heads )
@BoonDock Well, you are correct but it's not the full answer though. You forgot to add a few facts there. Far before Christianity even rose, and most civilizations as we know it for that matter, we were but tribal savages. Bush people. Gatherers. I am very sure that many times, there was incest between first-order relatives. Those unions gave to rise to many genetic diseases and deformities that usually resulted in the death of the child or the mother.
Evolution hardcoded us to try and avoid it! tribes that still kept close incest practices usually ended up weak, stupid, or dead, usually all together. And so, due to natural selection, tribes that practiced incest of first-order were wiped out.
Now, for cousin marriages. In this case, as you said, it was to retain family or tribe cohesion. Blood is thicker than anything right? Now, they didn't actually practice it all that much actually. Usually, they preferred second or third cousins, since even they knew that incest was pretty bad on the instinctive level.
Christianity was actually adopted from the Jewish bible, and the Jewish bible was what said no to incest of first order. The catholic church were just copycats who adopted it. Rome allowed first order incest before that to a degree.
@Rale Haemophilia you mean? It was not caused by direct incest, but by continuously marrying each other. The genetic pool was about what? A few hundred people at most. After intermarriages many times, it caused genetic diseases. Queen Victoria and her 3 of her 9 children did splendidly in passing it on.
@bignt blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
@bignt I'm not exactly sure what comment you're going off of here, but if something I said could be construed that way that was not my intent. I agree with you that incest rarely causes genetic disorders. Even among the 1st degree cases. It really only tends to cause a lot of problems when one family does it for generations ensuring that all of the bad recessive genes have a greater chance of being passed down..
