《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

[Ahem... Kentucky should be fine... probably.] Sure enough, even Sister Orb couldn't tell how Kentucky fared, although it was obvious that she knew that he passed through the same issue.
Rean sighed after hearing that. "I guess there's nothing we can do about it since he's too far away." After that, he asked Roan, "Should we buy anything else?"
Roan pondered over it for a bit before accessing the system to check the price of the next Spiritual Energy Absorption upgrade.
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 4 - 20000 Destiny Points]
"Hmm..." Roan then looked at their Destiny Points before saying, "We still have 24402 Destiny Points, so we could buy it. We would get a 10% improvement in a single go, which isn't a bad thing."
"Would there be anything else better for us to buy?" Rean was also pondering on what he should get or not. "The Soul Gem Dimensional Realm Upgrade is out of the question since it costs 50000 Destiny Points. I can only imagine what kind of ability the Dimensional Realm would get after buying it."
Roan shook his head after that, saying, "No point in guessing since we won't know anyway. Instead, we could also opt for the Soul Connection Range upgrade. It would allow us to use its abilities within 10000 kilometers of distance from each other."
"I don't think we have a great need for that at the moment. We rarely move too far away from each other, after all," Rean mentioned. "Between that and the Spiritual Energy Absorption upgrade, I would take the latter."
[You also have the Side Occupation Workshops and Repository. It might be a good idea to increase their level.] Sister Orb also gave her opinion.
Rean then looked at Roan to ask, "Do you need an upgrade for your alchemy workshop at the moment?"

"Not really." Roan shook his head. "I already can concoct Heaven Middle-level pills, so I have no need for other equipment. Of course, I still don't know what Level 4 of the Alchemist Workshop would give me, so it might turn out to be the wrong choice."
Rean agreed with Roan. "Same thing here. I would be happy if I got some new smithing equipment, especially one similar to the ones I had on Earth. However, it's far from a priority at the moment since I can do very well with what I have already."
In the end, there was only one choice. "Let's upgrade Spiritual Energy Absorption again."
Rean quickly exited the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm and warned Celis that he would pass through the same process again. Celis didn't understand how Rean and Roan were doing that but agreed with it. After all, the improvement was obvious. It's just that he still didn't like the sensation of something happening to his body. Little did he know that he was having it easy since the twins and Kentucky would go through a lot of pain in the process.
After returning to the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm, the twins immediately accessed the Skill List.
[Spiritual Energy Absorption Upgrade Level 4 - 20000 Destiny Points] (it will go to 20% total.)
[Confirm Purchase?]
"Yes!"
[Destiny Points: 24402]
[Initializing Upgrade...]
Rean and Roan once again braced themselves for the pain as a certain Demon Bird fell from the skies once more. Poor Kentucky thought the worst was over, so he continued on his way to deliver the jade slips, but that obviously wasn't the case. It wouldn't be before several hours later that he would risk taking flight again, afraid that the same pain would assault him.

Sure enough, Rean and Roan felt the difference in the Spiritual Energy coming into them from Celis after the upgrade. Everything went as planned, so they could cultivate even more. From now on, they would save one-fifth of the normal time used for breakthroughs.
"I guess we're done." With the upgrades now done, Roan didn't waste time and left straight away. For him, any time was working time. That's why he went straight back to cultivation.
It was still nighttime, so Rean did the same thing. When he arrived in his room, he noticed that Qia was cultivating on the bed, so he joined her. Rean took that opportunity to use his Spiritual Sense and tell Celis about what happened. Since Celis couldn't betray them because of the pact with Kentucky, he didn't mind telling everything. And just like that, the night went on quietly.
Rean, Roan, and everyone else continued to do their work during the next few days. Since Wringan Continent couldn't be attacked, there were no risks for anyone on Freedom Island or the continent as a whole. Of course, that was only the case for those with a high enough cultivation. The continent and the island still had many demon beasts at Stage Four and below. Then again, that was a good thing for the humans' future training and experiences.
Ten days after the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm event, Kentucky finally returned to the sect. His jade slip bags were now gone since he delivered them to the humans. He even helped a few groups clean the way for them to reach some of the closer cities. He was also very happy. Other than the initial fright that his appearance would cause, the humans, especially the females, would understand that he didn't mean harm. He had been treated well in most of the places he visited.
"By the way, you didn't tell me that I would also have to endure the pain of the meridian upgrade process. Wasn't it supposed to be only the two of you?" Kentucky asked with an angry expression.
"Stop complaining. Aren't you fine? Besides, that will save you a lot of time during cultivation, so you should be thanking us. Also, don't forget that we suffered the same pain as you." Rean didn't have any of that, though.
Kentucky and Rean then talked for a while longer until the Minokawa decided to go back to his nest on Celis.
Rean quickly put those thoughts behind him and returned to the Communication System's building. On the roof, one could see a new type of equipment that looked like an antenna. Rean couldn't help but smile at it, muttering, "It's almost done."

Dungeon's Path
The only places I have posted the story and allow it to exist are on RoyalRoad, Scribblehub, and my Patreon. So the world ended. Whoopsie? We didn’t even see it coming. Quite literally as it came at us faster than the speed of light. Don’t worry though, it got better. Also, I am not joking about the world ending. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced for some reason. Nope, all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale there for a few moments. Apparently the local universe wasn’t actually stable? Don’t ask me to go into too much detail. It would require both of us to have a few more college degrees than sense, and I at least lack them (both the degrees and the sense). Anyway, the energy/matter/wibbly wobbly strings were at a local minimum and not the universal minimum. Basically, what we took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake and when the dam busted so did, well, everything. Now here is where things go a bit off track with what normal meant before. You see magic is real, qi is real, gods are real. Not on old Earth mind you but souls pay little attention to time and space so we dreamed of it. In fact, the closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer our dreams got to the new reality. This is basically me tip toeing around the fact that it was a ‘System Apocalypse’. Reality became a video game, I became a dungeon, and this is my story. Doyle Huxley just wanted a normal life but as the above might clue you in on that just isn’t in the cards. He gets to experience a “Path Based System Apocalypse” and some early paths he takes, both literally and figuratively, lead to him becoming a dungeon. The aim is to release chapters once a week on Friday. Cursing will be avoided and no naughty adult action will take place in the story.
8 404A Goblin's Blade (dropped)
He looked down the path, which was littered with many things. Things he found in abundance were such of violence, desire and gore while things he found in scarcity were such of love, friendship and glory. At the start of the path was a naive, green goblin while at the end of it... Well at the end of it stood him: the godslayer, the monster from the forest, the walking death... He had many names but none so that perfectly captured his image as well as the Mad King. Authors note: Edit: Trying to release a chapter per day, around 2-2.5k words each. An evolution story about a goblin. This is under lit-rpg but I'm focusing more on the plot/characters instead of the usual features of such stories such as the blue tables that take ages to make or the stat screens. In essence it's closer to high fantasy than lit-rpg. Much appreciated if you read the Prologue to see whether you like it or not. Cover image is "Evolution" taken from art done by WhoAmI01

[I do not own Resident Evil. This is a Y/N insert where you've traveller to the Village to find your missing friend who went missing in the area regardless the local police say about no findings.]This will be a semi-lemon mature action/harem plot, completely Fan-Con for those who love to r34 the lady of the castle, This is clearly a mature novel meant for mature readers so you've been warned my friends. !! Heads up, best read in scrolling mode since i wrote this on my phone !!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-~ Teaser ~ Y/N had landed himself on the exact coordinates Travis had left behind, the message itself didn't matter but where he stood is where the message was sent from a week or so ago. He listened to the locals babble on the bus ride over about hunters and hikers disappearing in the woods this deep into the mountain scape, those who did make it back where sent to a asylum for uttering such absurdities like lycans and cultists. While bus left him behind, a unscheduled stop for the driver, Y/N sighed and pocketed his phone. Y/N: {Thoughts} Travis... You better be screwing around with some European model cause im gonna be really upset with your dumbass...Y/N peered over a guard rail, a narrow trail in the snow leading off the slope into the woods, a faint red dusted by the fresh white is barely visible through the dead shrubbery. Y/N hops the rail sliding his way down to the trail below, the red he was a scarf lightly buried alongside a few other random odds and ends like mittens and hats but this only told Y/n somes bag must've fallen open or it was tossed off the road. Until stepping forwards something beneath the white sheet tripped, face first into the fluff. He wiped his face looking down into the snow to find something staring back.....
