Epic Of Bee Chapter 57
Advertisement
I know that the light didn't hurt my eyes, but I still felt like I was going to go blind. The ridiculous number of status and level update windows I had closed were making me want to poke my eyes out.
The problem was that the damn screen probably would still be there. Even if I closed my eyes, I could stop them, but Hilda showed me how to shrink the window down, and the rest came up small.
Hilda also told me to stop trying to close them one at a time and just wait until I had a bunch. I could just close them all at once, and I was thankful for the help.
I had got Hilda to bring up a status window so I could keep track of where everyone was going. When I hit level eight, I got a new skill that was great and exactly what I needed, but I was sure that I had blinded everyone present.
[Skill Acquired]:(Passive)
The entire area burst with light as every remaining person radiated from evolution, and then the wave started. Like an unstoppable wave, the status windows poured in like an old computer crashing.
I could do nothing, but then Hilda pulled up a new window for the Gene pool. It covered over the spamming status updated from everyone to my relief, and now, I could see what just happened.

My lower hands tapped their fingers together with pleasure as I looked at the totals on my subjects. I wasn't going to start acting all high and mighty, but I had to admit to myself that it was pretty cool.

Before, I barely had control over my own life, and I lived each day like it was just trying to get to the next one, but it was different now. I didn't want today to end, and I could wait for tomorrow to come.
The next thing I did while everyone was checking themselves out, I wanted to do the same. Messia and Miasma were walking through the crowds and answering questions, while all the people chose as guards formed with Leah, Riza, and the Boys.
"Hilda, can I access my status window now?" I asked her as she Buzzed in front of me.
"Yes, I will pull it up for you now. You have reached level twenty; congratulations, you have done very well. Now all experience that you gain will be distributed to you subjects until you evolve," Hilda explained as she pulled up my status window.

"HA! I HAVE MAGIC!" I shouted with triumph, and everyone around me cheered with joy.
I was actually secretly crying inside. Are you fucking kidding me? Animate Plant? Plantspeak? What the fuck is, are the flowers going to say to me?
Unbee-lievable, this system was pollen a fast one on me, but not all was worth crying over, and some of it was pretty cool. It seemed that my powers circulated around getting me more followers, man or beast, and now I could make the shaggy goth horse my pet.
There was one more person left that was slowly walking up to me with her head down and tail between her legs like she had done something wrong. Joni was the only person that hadn't evolved, but she was so fucking cute like this that I almost wanted to let her wallow a bit more.
[System] Activated!
[Hive Points Available] 30.
{Would you like to use this point} Yes/No?
Holy shit, yes. Wow, I had seemed to rack up the points during this event. I had been earning more as I leveled, and I had gotten extras at certain levels, so it made sense.
{Select a target}
Joni.
[Subject: Joni]: Class option:
{Knight} Or {Rogue}
I preferred to keep her as a knight, and that way, she could train with Riza and Leah. We didn't have any Rogue-type class other than the Miku as a Shadow Hunter, but she was specialized and still very new to her class.
I selected the Knight Class and grinned, and the pouting Joni lit up with light. She grew skimpier armor than Riza wore, but her smile when the light cleared was priceless.
And for everything else, there was hard work and perseverance; there was no Mastercard in this world.
Now, where the hell was I going to put all these people?

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

DEATH QUEST
You are Hayden Waltess. You have no skills, no money, one family member, and a few good friends. If you don't find a way to make six hundred golden claws within the next forty eight hours, your little sister Shale is going to die. Steal the money? You can't break wards, and you don't know anyone who can. Beg for it? You live in Lecliss, the corrupt capital city of Raun. Beggars pave the roads. No one will notice an extra pebble. Earn it? Not through any normal job. You'd be lucky to make even a single golden claw in a week. No. There's only one way to make that kind of money in time. In a corner of the adventurer's guild lit by a dim lantern, three long, dusty, ragged pieces of parchment are pinned to a huge board on the wall. Each piece of parchment has an enormous sum of money written in bold at the top, an illustration in the center, and then countless names of adventurers below, each name written in a different hand, each invariably crossed out with a thin red line. The sign above the board reads: DEATH QUESTS An interactive action/adventure story with game-like and horror elements, set in the same universe as my other story, Gattican Drive. You can also read it on webnovel. Updates once every three days (unless it doesn't)

The Crowns of Dalmarck
We are the Pure Gods. They are the lords of their people. You are the leader of a House of Gods. I am a king of Dalmarck. I have come from earth, through the Abyss and I have lived in the First Realm, in my realm and on the plane of Unrec. I have won wars with other gods and as brief they were, they took thousands of years. Time has become meaningless to me and the only proof of it are the deaths of my servants. I have created lives, magic and gods. I have seen civilisations die and Houses collapse. I once used to want to return through the way back to earth. Pure foolishness, as foolish as a sane Dark God would be. I have wronged many. Once I gave our planet magic and they brought me hate. Another time I save one and had to kill another. I nearly destroyed a whole people in my rage once. I want to stop this, but every time my little lights are there. They seem so satisfied that I cannot help but think I have done well. Every time they mention my House, they bless its gods. My House has always been there for them, even against the others. When I then think of them without us, i can only think of death and ruin. That will never happen, not with me here.
