The Great Thief Chapter 734: Moon Grass
Lu Li spent so much time harvesting Moon Grass that Sesame Rice Ball was able to level his Alchemy all the way to Lv260.
The failure rate for Alchemy was lower than the other professions, so Lu Li was able to receive two Moon Grass Potions.
"I'll buy you a meal next time," Lu Li thanked him as he patted him on his back in gratitude.
Sesame Rice Ball was the first expert Alchemist in the guild. He was able to reach such a high level and he had done it even faster than the players who focused all their time on Alchemy. What was even more impressive was that he had achieved this without falling behind in levels. Lu Li knew that accepting him into the guild was the right move.
With the two bottles of Moon Grass Potion in his hands, he teleported to Moonlight Forest.
"You're telling me that these potions will solve the problems my people have faced for years?"
Remulos was very doubtful and thought that he had made a mistake in trusting Lu Li. How dare the little brat try to fool him with some potions?
In reality, the Grove Keeper never believed in him from the beginning, nor did any of the other Worgens.
They had only given out the quest because the System had designed them to. Without this quest, the players would never encounter a Worgen face-to-face in the game.
"There's nothing wrong with trying," Lu Li said casually, not putting much effort into persuading him.
This made Remulos even more unsure and he began doubting his decision. His subconscious was telling him that the Worgen's troubles and problems would not be so easily solved.
When the Worgen transformed into werewolves, they lost all sense of self and control, revealing their uncontrollable, savage nature to harm and destroy anything in their path. After turning back to humanoid form, they wouldn't even remember what they had done.

However, they were aware of their transformation – the pain was excruciating because their body structures were completely altered. When they transformed, they would lose their consciousness and rationality, much like when people faint. Parts of the brain would shut down, while areas that regulated hormones and controlled primitive instincts continued to work, resulting in a hollow body of destruction.
The pain could be tolerated, but for inherently peaceful Druids, it was unacceptable for them to cause meaningless harm towards others. They would rather quarantine themselves and guard over the Bloodfang Keeps.
Remulos teleported Lu Li to the Bloodfang Pridelands.
Krug Bloodfang was resting when he felt their presence as they arrived. He opened his eyes and calculated the time that had passed and realized that it had only been three weeks since his last visit.
"My friend, you shouldn't step onto the holy grounds of the Worgen so regularly."
Remulos gracefully approached the Great Lord and said with a bitter smile, "Though I do not believe him, this is my friend and he has claimed to have solved your worries."
"Solved my worries?" Krug Bloodfang was also very doubtful, but managed to control his temper and looked at Lu Li expectantly.
After days and nights of failure, disappointment and pain, the Bloodfang Druid had become an extremely impatient and bitter person. However, he had to at least give Lu Li a chance based on the effort he had put in.
He was able to find a solution after three weeks, meaning that he was proactive and did not slack off.
"This is the Moon Grass Potion that I found. Based on an ancient record, it has the power to appease and pacify the soul," Lu Li said confidently, then continued, "If this doesn't solve the problem, then I don't know what will. I'll give up on the quest if this fails."

"I need to test this on others if you don't mind," Krug said as he waved his hand and summoned two younger-looking Worgen.
One of them transformed from a Blood Elf to a wolf that kept certain human features. He suffered excruciating pain from the process of transformation and was shaking in distress.
Right after he transformed, his blood-red eyes focused straight onto Lu Li, who was the closest person. Lu Li could tell that he was about to be ripped into shreds.
"Bind."
Krug waved his hand and the Worgen was completely wrapped up by thick vines which grew up from the earth. He then casted another spell which put him into a deep sleep.
After this, he gave one of the potions to the other Worgen.
The other Worgen took off the cap without hesitation and drank the light blue liquid, not leaving a single drop behind.
A few minutes later, when the effects began to kick in, he began transforming into a werewolf as well. Remulos, Krug, Lu Li and the other Worgens watched expectantly.
They had their hopes up despite being disappointed several times in the past.
The Bloodfang Druids never gave up on having hope. They eagerly awaited the day when they would be able to walk through Azeroth freely without fear of causing damage and destruction upon the land.
The first Worgen transformed and became a senseless animal.
The potion appeared to have at least eased the pain of the transformation. This gave Krug hope and he became more trusting of Lu Li's solution.
After the second Worgen transformed, he appeared to be… perplexed.
This was possibly the first time he had ever been in this form while being completely conscious. He looked down at the sharp claws on his hands, the thick black fur that covered his body, and his athletic limbs and body.
"Zuck, you…"
This time it wasn't the Worgen that was trembling; it was the Bloodfang Lord.
The old Druid wanted to reach out to touch him, but was too scared to do so. He had already prepared his binding spells to restrain the werewolf, but what happened left him in complete disbelief.
"My Lord, I think I'm… completely conscious. My name is Zuck," the second werewolf stammered.
"Yes, my child. I believe you."
Krug opened up the other potion and couldn't wait to experience what it felt like to be completely conscious while transformed.
Lu Li became very nervous because he had no idea whether the potion would work on a Boss. Krug was not the strongest creature in Azeroth, but he was still someone that Lu Li had to respect.
Fortunately, the game did not fail him.
Whether they were a normal Worgen or a Boss-level Worgen, the potion worked perfectly.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

The Heretic Legion
Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.

Knights of the Partition
We like to think there are no monsters. No magic, no gods, nothing waiting in the night but the stars and cold, hard science. It’s a comforting thought. It isn't true. Magic isn't common, mind you.

But rare or not, the magic isn't gone. The great Working that protects us from the horrors of the past does not have the power to destroy such things. Instead, it created the Partition, a tapestry of worlds beyond the boundary of our own. There the magic roams, searching for a way to come back. I am a Knight of Avalon. One of the protectors of the Partition. How did I get this job? Poor decisions, mostly.
