Heavenly Monarch Chapter 4
Advertisement
Hmm, since it's not that different from a video game, leveling up will be easier. After adjusting my state of mind I decided to look for the steps leading out of the mountain, but before I could continue with my journey I felt the energy inside me surging. Not knowing what if I am going to self-destruct I asked the system for information.
" System what is happening to my body".
*Ding*
" Host is gathering more energy from he's surrounding due to the increase in his cultivation level"
"So the more I level up the more I will experience this"
*Ding*
" The more the host experience a breakthrough the more he will be able to feel the energy flowing around him and with each breakthrough the host also experiences an increase in his strength.
If you say so, then I won't bother myself with it. After understanding the state of my body and know that it will bring me no harm I started searching for the path that will lead me down the mountain and truly my movement became swift the more I walked, and it seems like my senses became sharper to the extent that I could hear the sound of footsteps coming from the mountain, though I could not point out where they are coming from, I knew it from the undead creatures.
With my grip on to my sword tightly, I made my way down the mountain only to come across another beast but the beast this time seems different from the bull I fought, having the body of a human, goat head, and the legs of a horse while holding a shield and a blade.

Nice, time for me to have a little training here in the mountain while finding my way out. Seeing the beast getting prepared to charge I quickly ran towards it to initiate the first strike to gain the upper hand only to see the beast swinging its blade to meet my blade head-on without backing out.
After exchanging three moves with the beast I knew this one is faster and stronger than the previous one and seem to have intelligence in combat, fighting its head-on will not give me the advantage over it unless I keep on attacking it from different angles and if his reaction is slow when defending itself from different angles. Taking a step back to create space between us before rushing to the beast but this time, I turn to its side to deliver a slash, and it connected leaving the beast with a big wound.
It's very slow in defending itself from its side, giving me the advantage. Taking another step forward, I sent out another slash only to later dusk and deliver a slash at its legs before rolling to the side to deliver a stab at its stomach leaving it open with rotten intestines coming out mixed with black blood.
After delivering many attacks to the beast its aura became weaker, and its breathing became intense, and its eyes started glowing red which signifies the activation of its skill. Knowing my attack could no longer cause any damage to the beast, I started running around to create distance between us until it will run on cooldown but dodging its attack was not easy.
After distancing myself from the beast, it keeps on chasing after me while unleashing attack upon attack, and I could barely dodge them all leading to my health running low but at long last its time on being in the rage state was up leaving it vulnerable to all attack, taking my time to attack and create a fatal blow to the beast I slayed it after wearing it down for 5mins.

The host has unlocked the ability: wind slash [an offensive long-range attack generated from the slash of a blade].
Hmm, nice move, with this move leaving the mountain will become easy for me. After observing my stats I place my free in dexterity granting me more speed.
After closing my stats and was preparing to continue my journey I suddenly received a notification from the system.
*Ding*
Savage fighter beast core has been obtained
Savage fighter torso has been obtained.
What the hell is wrong with this system, obtaining beast core and torso what am I supposed to do"eat them or what".
*Ding*
"Eating the core and torso of the beast will lead to energy assault within the host body leading to self-destruct and beside it a waste to consume them for they can be used to make equipment or sold out".
After searching for steps leading out of the mountain, I discovered the day is getting dark indicating it almost night. Making haste I made my way down the mountain so far so good I have not come across any undead creatures which is good since I don't want to spend my night here in the mountain.
Unfortunately, my wish never came through for the whole of the mountain became dark, and I started feeling an intense aura coming my way, bracing myself for incoming battle only to lose the will to fight after seeing what is heading my way.

My Life is Not a Manga, or maybe...
Xavier had a happy, humdrum life: normal friendships, a normal girlfriend, a somewhat oddball family. Until, that is, he literally stumbled through the fourth wall and discovered he was the protagonist of a manga. Now he's scrambling to maintain any semblance of control over his own life in the face of something he never imagined he would need to contend with: the power of the Genre. Hello, E.O. Tenkey here; thank you for your interest in "Not A Manga"! This was my first serial novel, and I hope you enjoy Xavier's predicament! Familiarity with manga not required (though it can't hurt)! I look forward to exploring the bounds of the Genre with you. (First volume is rated PG-13 for comic mayhem and light profanity—these are high school students, after all. Second volume is rated PG-13 to R for some violence and similar levels of profanity. Tags may or may not contain spoilers.)

The universe had reached a threshold humanity didn’t even know existed, and it was time to finally be integrated into the vast multiverse. A world where power is the only thing that one can truly rely on. Jake, a seemingly average office worker, finds himself thrust into this new world. Into a tutorial filled with dangers and opportunities. In a world that should breed fear and concern, an environment that makes his fellow coworkers falter, Jake instead finds himself thriving. Perhaps… Jake was born for this kind of world, to begin with. Release Schedule: 5 chapters a week. Average chapter length: 2500 Tags and content warnings are mainly to give me creative freedom later on. This is my first novel ever, and English isn’t my native language, so go easy on me chaps. Any feedback is more than welcome, of course. Also, this novel is only posted on Royalroad, Patreon, and my Amazon releases, so if you are reading it elsewhere, it's pirated and you suck if you keep reading.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
