《Re: Evolution Online》30. I have been waiting for you~

Having finally slowed down the insane gang of birds chasing after him, Liam felt exhilarated and his blood was pumping. Even so, he did not rush.
He took his time and slowly dealt with the mob of birds, one or two at a time. While he was doing this, he replenished his mana and stamina supplies, which were almost depleted.
Moreover, because the birds were restricted by the giant trees, they could do nothing as well and were relegated to attacking at the speed that he permitted.
Some of the birds even tried to come at him from the top but the branches of the trees were too numerous with dense clusters of leaves covering them. They couldn't simply scoop down and peck at him.
In the end, leaves and twigs were still leaves and twigs; the setup was never going to last. He only had barely enough time to get a grip on the situation.
Liam improved his slow and rhythmic speed bit by bit and his sword danced faster and faster after every single move. Without the advantage of their numbers, the black ravens were completely overpowered and slaughtered mercilessly.
At the same time, as each bird died, the experience points that were pouring down on him were also quite significant.
Now that he was the one and only member of the party, it was no different than him solo clearing the dungeon. He single-handedly reaped all the benefits, along with the first discovery bonus boosts and effects.

As the experience points continued adding up non-stop, the giant tornado which had now formed atop the two huge trees was hacked by Liam bit by bit.
It only took him a few minutes to reduce the unending tide of birds to a few dozen.
His entire body was drenched in sweat and his muscles were pulsing with exhaustion. However, he kept going, pushing his limits to the fullest.
Luckily, he used the sword that he had picked up from Niria's lair. Otherwise, his weapon would have shattered by now. His current one wasn't doing that great either.
The durability was slowly dropping to single digits and the trees were also now almost destroyed.
By the time, Liam got to the end of the flock, ripping into shreds the last few birds, his sword covered in blood cracked into two, and coincidentally, the giant trees he was lodged in between also cracked and split apart.
"Ahhhh!" Liam clenched his fist and let out a loud howl, before jumping out of his hiding place and collapsing on the nearby green grass that wasn't covered in blood and fresh corpses.
He wasn't sure what was going to happen next, but he calmly took out a fruit from his inventory and laid on the grass munching it.
Above him, the sky was now clear blue, no longer dark and ominous as it had been before. Liam looked up, plopping another fruit into his mouth.
"Did I really just kill an entire mob? Ha ha ha!" A burst of loud lunatic laughter echoed in the silent forest, only accompanied by the whistling of the wind and the sound of leaves rustling in the breeze.

A few more minutes passed and nothing really happened. No other mobs or beasts or birds showed up.
"Alright. What next?" Liam jumped up, picking himself off of the ground, and looked around. At this point in the dungeon, all of this was new to him, so he had no idea what to do next.
"I guess I should explore a bit." Liam frowned and walked back to the mound which was the stage for most of the fights. Luckily, he didn't have to wait much longer.
Even from the distance, he could see that the mound he had run away from was no longer empty. A giant black raven with three heads and several pairs of crimson eyes was perched atop it.
"Hmm. This raven is here. This should be the final boss monster fight and the dungeon clear condition." Liam quickly took out a sword from his inventory and rotated his shoulders, preparing himself to go all out.
He dashed towards the mound and slashed his sword at the raven, but unexpectedly, the bird remained calm. His sword slash paused mid-air and then magically disappeared.
"What the hell? You are not attacking me?"
Liam almost stumbled as he tried to stop abruptly in his tracks, and the raven in front of him casually open its huge black peak and muttered.
"Human! I have been waiting for you."

Celestial [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG]
Warning!Profanity, unconventional relationships, drug use, descriptive gore and intimacy. Celestial is a slow-paced and action-packed progression fantasy with elements from the LitRPG genre. The story focuses on the protagonist’s personal growth, violence, sex, exploration and adventure. Follow Zelaria as she embarks on her journey of exploration and adventure, seeking ever greater heights of power. With an affinity for the elusive and mysterious Arcane and a preference for the thrill of close combat she nonetheless chooses to walk the path of a mage. A mage may still use weapons but a warrior rarely casts spells as far as she knows. It’s a logical path for her even if others may call it insanity. What do they know? Most people who choose to specialize in wielding mana tend to pick a mage class aligned with their element. Why become a standard mage, average at everything, when you can use your affinity for fire to become a fire mage and cause destruction with ease? The only problem for Zelaria is that no one seems to know how to get a mage class aligned with the arcane. Approaching 17 years of age she’s still at level 0 while her peers have long left her behind, their classes selected at the age of 15 when they became available. Luck is on her side though as she manages to snag employment as a hauler with a party heading on an expedition to a dungeon abandoned centuries ago. They’re looking for riches and danger while she’s still looking for an answer, one she finds at their destination even if not in the way she expected. Nothing is going to stop her from enjoying all that the world has to offer, not the wish of her parents or even her death. I'll be aiming to upload 5 chapters in bulk every week.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?
