Only I Can Use Every Power System

Chapter 29: Cha.29 Learning a new language

Doran placed a piece of paper on the table before writing five words.

Golden Boy

Kask

Attackrov

Achakhs

Great Light

He stepped aside.

"Read it."

Qasim stared at the sentence.

"...I can’t."

Doran nodded.

"That means your brain is still trying to read it like human language."

He pointed at the first line.

"Nahr’keth always begins with the speaker."

He tapped the words "Golden Boy."

"This isn’t a person’s name."

"It’s simply an example of a True Name."

"Every Nahr’keth sentence begins with one."

Think if it like saying ’I’, and since this a made up name there are no risk of calling the rune so we can practice."

He moved his finger down.

"Kask."

"There are only three words you can use here."

"Gbeg."

"Kask."

"Rorder."

Qasim quietly memorized them.

"They originally come from Beg, Ask and Order with the first letter repeats."

"No one knows why."

"It has simply always been that way."

Doran looked back at Qasim.

"You might ask, why do you think there are three different ways to ask the same Rune?"

Qasim thought for a few seconds.

"...Different levels of respect?"

"Close."

Doran nodded.

"They determine how much pressure the Rune places on you."

He raised one finger.

"Gbeg."

"Begging the Rune is far more likely to refuse."

"But your body suffers the least."

A second finger.

"Kask."

"Asking is ideal verb, mderate pressure and reasonable chance the Rune accepts."

Then the third.

"Rorder."

"Ordering the Rune is much more likely to obey..."

"...but your body will pay the price."

"The stronger the Rune, the greater the pressure."

Qasim silently swallowed.

Doran continued.

"The third part is the action."

"This part is a phrase on it’s own where you might see it as subject followed by verb, followed by object."

He underlined ’Attackrov’.

"Every verb ends with ’rov’."

"Attack -> Attackrov."

"Heal -> Healrov."

"Move -> Moverov."

"It tells the Rune what you want it to do."

He then pointed toward the next word.

"Achakhs."

"This tells the Rune who the action is directed toward."

"There are only three forms you’ll use most of the time."

He wrote beneath it.

Chakhs.

Achakhs.

Nakhfs.

Khakhfs.

---

"Chakhs means someone infront if you and Achakhs is the plural of chakhs and Akhs is for calling a thing."

"Nakhfs means yourself."

"Khakhfs is everyone involved, including yourself."

Qasim slowly nodded.

So Chakhs is like ’him/her’.

Akhs is like ’it’.

Achakhs is like ’them’.

Nakhfs is like ’me’.

Khakhfs is like ’us’.

It wasn’t nearly as complicated as it first looked.

"The final part..."

Doran tapped the last words.

"Great Light."

"The Rune."

"The one you’re speaking to."

He looked back at the complete sentence.

Golden Boy Kask Attackrov Achakhs Great Light.

"Now translate it."

Qasim stared at it for a long moment.

"...I ask attack them great light?... I don’t understand..."

"That’s because Nahr’keth isn’t simple as the language we are speaking right now."

"Nahr’keth start by a true name followed by one of the three verbs then the action part which start by the verb instead of the subject, followed by the subject then, the object if exist, lastly the rune name."

Doran start writing on the board.

True name + asking verb + Action verb + Action subject + Action object + Rune’s name

"So the translation will be like this."

He start writing again on the board

I ask the great light rune to attack my enemies.

"Now try translate this phrase to Nahr’keth using ’golden boy’ as your true name."

I beg the great dark rune to hide me.

Qasim thinks for a moment then answer.

"Golden boy Gbeg hiderov Nakhfs Great Dark."

"That’s correct."

Qasim couldn’t hide the excitement in his eyes.

"So every whisper is basically a sentence?"

"Exactly."

Doran smiled faintly.

"The difficult part isn’t learning the language."

"It’s surviving long enough to speak it."

He picked up the chalk again.

"Notice how the only thing that sounds normal in this language is the rune name."

In both examples, the name of the rune stayed the same.

"In reality nobody can speak the true name of the runes, it’s just that the runes are so powerful that naming them by what they represent is enough... Do you know what that means?"

Qasim eyes widened as he realized what his teacher is saying.

"So all this power comes even without saying the true name of the runes."

"Exactly, and in Nahr’keth Language every true name is a critical and important."

Qasim thinks about who big this power system really is.

"Ok now let’s keep training, I want you to translate these three examples now."

I order the great life rune to heal me.

I beg the great time rune to save my friends.

I ask the great mountain rune to protect us.
