《Tales of Demons and Dragons - An Original Xianxia GameLit》Chapter 23 - Hellspawn Chameleon
Advertisement
Juliet was waiting for him with both her arms crossed in front of her chest. Her gaze was stern and cold, and he could feel her emotions through her bond.
“She’s a b*tch,” those were her first words to him.
“She’s one hell of a strong b*tch then. I did not give her a Cultivation Technique, Juliet; there is no need to be hostile. Helena is still a kid, like you, but her heart is in the right place. Down the road, she will be one of our best allies.”
Jacob knew Helena so well from his past life that he could not believe she would somehow betray them or obstruct him while trying to save humankind.
“Why was she so strong?” Juliet balled her fists.
Jacob could feel her frustration. He had just told the girl in front of him that she was the strongest in town, and now Helena came and proved him wrong.
“Her talent is not what I expected… Your Constitution should put you right where she is, in any case. Helena does not have a Cultivation Technique, nor Martial Techniques, nor spells, nor someone to teach her, Juliet. You can trust me, and I can trust you with our own very life. We share an unbreakable bond. There is no need to make an enemy out of Helena.”
“She grabbed you by the shirt,” Juliet pouted.
“And you perfectly knew how my emotions were fine and how there was not an ounce of fear in me. So next time, please think before acting,” this time, it was Jacob’s turn to be stern.
He trusted Juliet, but she needed to think carefully before acting. He had condoned her behavior at town hall because it was good to show some muscles from time to time. However, in the long term, she needed to be more diplomatic and less temperamental.

“Why do you love her so much?” Juliet was confused. Jacob knew that there still wasn’t anything strictly romantic on her part toward him, but she still felt possessive for the very nature of their bond.
“I have… history. Let’s call it history. With Helena. She and I go way back, and I will never forget how she… I’d rather not tell, Juliet. You know how I feel, and some things are better if not spoken out yet. Let’s go now, and we need to train. I can teach you how to beat Helena, but you have to trust me.”
She seemed to cheer up when she heard about kicking Helena’s ass.
“Call Joseph and Aunt Linda. We are going—”
Then something hit Jacob.
If Helena’s talent is now different, other things could be different too. For example, wasn’t there one person who hypothesized that the density of people and their talent would influence how many monsters originally spawned in a determined area?
Holy fuc**ng sh*t.
“Juliet, I think we might have a problem. We need to find the Principal immediately. Monsters might come before I anticipated.”
“What?” Juliet felt the turbulence in his emotions and glanced around them. “Now? But you said—”
“I know what I said,” he cut her short, “but you need to tell the Principal that you felt a monster out there or something like that. So we need everyone on high alert. Even Helena and Frederick. And you have to be the one telling everyone, not me. Is that clear?”
Jacob felt a sense of urgency like never before since he had arrived. He had counted on his knowledge of the past, but if Helena’s talent had changed so much, it meant that every single other thing could be different. And they didn’t need everything to be different from having problems: if even just a couple of beasts roamed around undisturbed, many people could lose their life in a heartbeat.

“Fu*k,” she swore.
“Go. I’ll teach something to my aunt and Joseph right now. We need them to be able to fend for themselves. If you meet any monster… Be safe. Go for their necks and any soft spot. If it’s anything other than a wolf, run shouting for Joseph, I’ll come and help.”
Jacob grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes with determination.
“We’ll get through this, I promise. Later, I’ll teach you a Martial Technique and a Spell that will put your fighting capabilities above anyone else. But now, you have to run!”
Juliet nodded and, without hesitating, started running toward the main street, already shouting for Luis Albert.
“I hope I’m wrong,” Jacob murmured while shaking his head.
They needed patrols, sentries, a whole perimeter.
And walls. Fuc**ing walls.
“Auntie! Joseph! We need to train! NOW!”
Jacob slammed the door open and suddenly felt a chill run down his back.
Something was behind him.
Not many monsters would appear in low-level zones like St. Peter. That was unless someone with an incredibly high talent appeared in their midst. The presence of Frederick justified the Alpha Demonic Wolf presence; it was a monster at the 3rd level of the Cockroach realm with a very sturdy hide and lethal claws.
Now, though, a Demonic Beast to rival Helena’s strength should appear.
The problem with Demonic Beasts at higher levels was that some of them were sentient. The lower-level ones were just predators, even though a few of them had incredibly sharp survival instincts. Others, especially those proficient with Magic, could develop true intelligence and shrewdness.
And if Jacob had been right about Helena’s talent changing all the cards they had been dealt…
Well, let’s just say that a mighty monster could have appeared. Keen enough to wait for the main threat to reveal itself and to eliminate it swiftly.
Jacob slowly turned, knowing already what type of beast was waiting for him.
A few meters from him, a Hellspawn Chameleon stared at him with a sardonic smile. The beast was not sentient yet, but it had insanely developed survival instincts. It had observed Jacob and identified him as the main threat to its survival.
And now, it was going to kill him before anyone else could come and rescue him. He had just sent away Juliet and Helena, the two strongest people in St. Peter.
Jacob was probably going to die in the next few seconds, wasn’t he?

Myscreth
At its core, magic is just the ability to change the laws of nature. Mason Grant's life was going just as he'd always planned. Then a knock at the door changed everything. Normally, he would have considered Professor Anklin's tale of a civilization destroyed because it had learned how to manipulate the laws of nature crazy. Of course, that was before he saw his couch resting on the ceiling. Travelling to Myscreth with the Professor, Mason discovers a world of contradictions. On a ruined world, the Myscrethian people live much like the early American settlers, yet thanks to the ability to manipulate the laws of nature there’s unlimited electricity and powered flight. As Mason begins learning to control abilities he never dreamed possible, he discovers that not all is as it seems. Even as the Myscrethian people try to rebuild their world, there are those who seek to once again unleash the power which led to its destruction. And this time it's not only Myscreth's fate that hangs in the balance, but Earth's as well. Author's Note: This novel is now complete.

8 215The Novel's Extra's Extra
As a reader, Cristopher always looked for things that entertained him, didn't matter what the "critics" said, all that matters was his own opinion on the novel, so he started reading "The Novel's Extra", a webnovel that despicts an author who is transmigrated to his own novel. It was fun and all with its own good and bad points, really, one of his favorites novels at the end of the journey, and that's taking into account the little fact that he didn't have too many things he was able to enjoy, not in that empty shell that was called life for him... Why could someone be born like that? With a void inside, an endless void that slowly consumes oneself... But... for better or worse... everything changed one day, the same day he woke up to discover he had the same faith of the author whose novel he just finished reading, becoming an extra in a novel, becoming The novel's extra's extra... /Ok, now that's the description I thought of... first of all, for those of you who are reading this, if any, a few points I have to make clear: 1. I'm not an english native speaker, so if you find anything wrong in the text, please let me know, that would help me learn, and I would be thankful for that.2. I'm writting this out of pure "enjoyment", so while I'll try to be constant, I'll not make any promises.3. True reason why I'm writing this is because I'm going through a moderate to crippling depression right now (and no, is not because anything trully bad and horrendous happened to me, it seems to have something to do with my brain's malfuctioning, among other things), and doctors told me to try writing as I enjoy reading. So yeah, this is more like a self-help excercise, to keep myself distracted while trying to be safe from my self.4. I choose to make a fanfiction of "The Novel's Extra" as I don't trully know how to write, and because I really loved that webnovel, though there are some points I didn't particulary liked.5. If you see some (let's be clear, really much) self insertion on this series, well, that may be me trying to escape reality, to which I make an early warning and disclaimer, and also ask for forgiveness, as I said before, this is more of an excercise, so don't take it too serious.6. I'll be a slow writer, as I have to still check a few things from the novel, even when I've read it like 3 or 4 times already, and because I know shit about writing a novel or a series.7. If you get to enjoy this, then that's good, I would be glad about it, maybe even more motivated, but I don't really expect this to be any good. Thanks to you all who may, or may not, be reading this novel./
8 174Kidnapped by the Alpha
This is back up! I never got around to editing it because I didn't have the time like I thought I would. Enjoy this and the sequel.Isabelle was jolted awake out of her nightmare quite suddenly. Dazed, she tried to look around but found that her head was held firmly to the pillow under her. Cloth covered her mouth and nose, a sickly sweet smell enveloping her senses. Her mind began getting hazy. Chloroform, her mind whispered almost silently. Her vision began tunneling, and she weakly looked up into a pair of icy blue eyes. She stared into those eyes as she was pulled deeply and forcefully into oblivion. Isabelle is a smart girl and not really the girly type unless going out. You would usually see her wearing sweats around the house or outside in her backyard on the beach since she lives on the ocean. So when she suddenly gets kidnapped one day, she wonders what she had ever done to deserve this. She hadn't done anything wrong, at least she didn't think she did. But she learns that there is something about her that is special and that she is not only human. Meet Jared Gray, the person that kidnapped Isabelle because of her being his mate. He's been waiting since he was 16 to find his mate and now he's 22, about to give up on ever finding his mate. But when he smells her in a mall one day, he follows her home and decides to take what's his. Isabelle's life will never be the same again. Will she be able to escape or will she fall in love with her hot and charming kidnapper that she wants nothing to do with? Or will she stay with him and eventually fall in love? --- THIS IS A DRAFT. And I was 15 when I first started writing it so there are many mistakes. Please don't judge too harshly. WARNING: CONTAINS SOME SCENES OF SEXUAL AND MATURE CONTENTALSO, MANY MISTAKES! SOME THINGS I'VE WRITTEN I FORGOT TO PUT BACK IN THE STORY SO THIS NEEDS TO BE HEAVILY EDITED. Sequel is called Unwinding Fate
