Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction"
(both original and fanfiction) where you can search
across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and
get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent
projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
"Life Essence?"
"It's basically the summon spirit currency. When we get summoned here with an initial offering of Life Essence, or what you call Chakra, we automatically start absorbing the ambient Life Essence just floating around from the surroundings. The longer we stay or the more strenuous the actions, the more we absorb. When we get pulled back to the spirit realm, all that Life Essence we absorbed is worth its weight in gold."
"Huh."
"Sometimes, when a contract has been without a summoner for an especially long time, the more powerful bosses will demand live sacrifices to get their Life Essence stores back up. I actually hear that the Snakes went so long without a contract that every time Manda gets summoned, he has to bring back a hundred humans to use in a Life Essence farm or else the Snakes will mutiny against him. They'd probably put up with any amount of unspeakable acts as long as the Life Essence keeps flowing to them."
