As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 255
Advertisement
Dolly did not think that was what Vivian was worried about.
The creatures on their continent were unlucky.
The creatures born elsewhere had a higher starting point.
But they were also unlucky,
Because their future was destined from birth.
Things like inheritance did not appear out of thin air.
Why did the people of their continent have inheritances? The frequency of their inheritances wasn't high.
Only when a God fell from the outside world, would their continent have a suitable successor.
There were even rumors that their continent was the place where the God was reborn.
This was also why after the dragon clan's wise successor appeared,
Andrea was so valued.
It was said that the last sage inheritor of the dragon race brought the dragon clan out of the sea.
They became the clan leader of the true dragon clan that was above all living things in the Shenluo continent.
After that, the dragon clan became stronger and stronger.
So strong that it made people doubt whether it was true.
Not only were their strength and cultivation methods much stronger than any other race.
Even their racial talent seemed to be more outstanding than other races.
"You know this! Andrea is different from the rest."
Dolly was different from Aude.
Aude had always been strict with his daughter since she was young.
Dolly, on the other hand, played the role of a loving father.
So, Andrea spent more time pestering Dolly and staying by his side.
No matter how much Andrea did not like to call Dolly uncle,
She liked to call him Eight-Legged Uncle.
Andrea had deep feelings for Dolly.
Andrea knew Dolly as well as Dolly knew herself.
Dolly had been helping to look after Andrea since she was born.
Vivian was a fire dragon, so she had a special physique and could not hatch dragon eggs often.
Otherwise, she might accidentally roast her own eggs.

In addition, Vivian was born with a high body temperature, so she could not hatch eggs normally.
In the dragon clan, it was even more impossible for dragon males to hatch eggs.
When there was time to hatch eggs, they were busy everywhere else.
The responsibility of hatching the eggs naturally fell to Dolly.
It could be said that the first smell that Andrea smelled after she was born belonged to Dolly.
The first creature she saw when she opened her eyes was Dolly.
Andrea's biological parents were Aude and Vivian.
Her father, Aude, was Andrea's teacher, and her mother, Vivian, was the nanny who watched the children and was responsible for feeding them regularly.
Dolly played the role of Andrea's relatives, friends, and elders for more than 200 years of her life.
As Andrea grew older, her inheritance became more complete.
Her strength also became stronger.
But she subconsciously hid it.
She didn't want others to know her true strength.
Until now, no one knew except for Andrea.
She now had the title of the strongest dragon in the continent.
Although Dolly also noticed this,
It was normal for children to grow up and have their own thoughts and secrets.
So, Dolly had never told anyone about this.
Although Andrea wasn't his biological child,
He was the one who watched her grow up, and he was the one who brought her up.
He respected the child's growth.
He also respected the child's choices.
"The child's path is for the child to walk on his own.
It is not for others to help them choose.".
"I know. But after all, she is born with a weaker physique than other dragons!"
As a mother, although Vivian seemed to be more fierce to Andrea than anyone else,
She was actually more worried about her child than anyone else.
This child was already more than 200 years old.

She was about to come of age,
But her figure was still like a little cub.
What would she do when she came of age?
So what if she was the legacy of the wise men.
Without a strong physique, the legacy of the wise men could only become the vassal of others.
Think about your child. One day in the future, she would become the vassal of others.
Vivian could not sit still.
"Hey. Have you never looked at your child carefully?"
Dolly was really helpless.
He didn't know how confused his savior was.
How could she think that her daughter was weak.
Could a weak dragon cub really feed on others?
Would she take a bite to fill her stomach when she had nothing to do?
Stop joking, okay?
He really should let his silly friend see her daughter's fierce appearance.
Once, when he was shedding his shell, because he was near the volcano, the humidity was not enough.
Then he got stuck.
Yes, it was a real case of being stuck.
The shell was half gone, and the humidity was not enough, so it could not fully be shed.
Because he shed his shell, his body was weak.
He could only hold on until he recovered his strength and continued to shed his shell.
Then, Andrea, who had a poor physique according to Vivian, staged a battle in front of him that him to death.
That's right.
He didn't know why Andrea was looking for him.
Anyway, she saw that he was halfway through the molting process and was stuck.
Because her body was a snake, the molting process was smooth.
But his legs were spider's, so the molting process was very troublesome.
He could not forcefully pull down. If he did not pull well, his legs would be lost.
So, he could only let the shell get stuck awkwardly.
Andrea didn't come close either. She just glanced at his position.
Then, she turned around and left.
At that time, he was still sad for quite a while.
The child he raised must now despise him for being so useless.
He could even get stuck shedding his shell.
Oh.
Of course, that wasn't the case.
Reality slapped him in the face.
He didn't know what was going through Andrea's mind at that time.
Anyway, she went back and fought with Aude.
She destroyed half of the volcano that was about to erupt.
Then, Andrea's four small claws grabbed a piece of bloody meat.
A piece of meat that was much longer than her own body fell out of her mouth.
Andrea stuffed the meat from her four small claws into Dolly's mouth without any explanation.
Then, she used her four small bloody claws that were finally free to wipe Dolly's eight stuck spider legs.
She wiped all the blood on her four small claws onto Dolly's eight spider legs.
Finally, in front of Dolly,
She unceremoniously placed the long piece of meat in his mouth on the ground.
She pressed it with her four small claws and bit into it with her mouth.
She began to tear off the scales along with the skin on the long piece of meat and ate it.
In front of Dolly, there was a live version of scraping off scales and peeling off skin.
Seeing this, Dolly even felt that the scales on his body were a little painful.
However, before Dolly could understand what this child was trying to do,
He saw Andrea pick up the piece of meat with the scales removed.
Dolly thought the child was going to leave, and finally stopped fussing.
He could finally take a good rest and shed his shell.

8 537Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
8 89The RPG Apocalypse (LitRPG)

Joseph's prayers are answered, but not in a way he could ever have expected. Goblins, ghouls, kobolds and a myriad of monsters and mythical creatures have spawned all over the college campus and beyond. The carnage is shocking. If he's going to survive the RPG apocalypse, Joseph is going to have to figure out the new rules fast. And is it wrong to feel so alive, when so many other people have died?
8 220Aethernum—Cradle of Yore

My library, so humongous my good friends told me one after the other there is no book it doesn't contain helped little. There are crumbling tomes of ancient magic, vocabularies depicting the evolution of the magical language itself, grimoires and holy bibles of cults long past, rows and rows filled with scrolls bearing the efforts of my magical research, contracts, diaries, letters and more. But parenting? There was none. Yet a struggle nearly every member of the Races is not foreign to. I...must have lived under a rock. Across aeons no less. What a humbling revelation.
