Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 1
Advertisement
While Arthur was gazing around the area and angrily cursing himself. He realized that he didn't specify what race he should be reborn into, so 'X' just reincarnated him into an Insect of some sort. He couldn't even walk properly, in fact, he had to crawl. Despite this, he was quite fast for an insect. Not even a minute after he appeared, some sound rang in his head
'ting'

'Woa.. this is something else!'

Arthur thought that 'X' screwed up and reincarnated him into an insect. Fortunately, the shock was only momentary as the blue windows appearing before his eyes were good news. The surroundings were realistic but those blue notifications windows resembled a game's.
He was really surprised when he saw his skills, they seemed really overpowered. Hypothetically, if someone is reincarnated, they would get a blessing or a unique power but certainly not this many skills and buffs.
He also wondered if he could see his health and if it even existed, because, in games, there is a health bar with a number on it and if it reaches zero, you are dead.

Arthur inspected his stats for a while and since he didn't have anything to compare it to, he didn't know if he's really weak or really strong. As he has the size of an insect, it's safe to assume his strength is that of an ant, though his Agility is rather high.
He felt a bit pathetic but didn't spend too much time dwelling on the stats and soon started crawling on the dirt with decent speed but it has to be said that he felt uncomfortable. He was used to being a human so moving like some sort of a snake can't be said to be a good thing, especially with his current size.
After some searching, he found a little hole in the ground, it was pitifully small, but to him, it looked like a massive pitfall.

The parasite jumped down, hoping to encounter something that could empower him but the moment he landed, he was surrounded by monsters with a disgusting appearance. They're more or less double his size and looked a little similar to the ants from his previous world, however, these supposed 'ants' were green in color and had some small scales on their bodies.

Mutated child Ant level 2
He stood there dazed for a couple of seconds and only snapped out of it when these ants rushed at him with what could only be described as hostility.
It was truly a frightening sight but the parasite didn't sit down and wait for death to come for him. He was much smaller than them and didn't know how exactly he should retaliate.
His first thought was to escape so he put all of his strength and dashed to the left. He wasn't able to control his abnormal speed so he ended up hitting one of the child ants.
The result was rather unexpected as he expected himself to be cut in two pieces but that wasn't the case at all. He underestimated his speed and managed to pass straight through the ant, resulting in a bloody hole in its chest.
The ant fell soundlessly to the floor while green blood flowed from its gaping wound. Arthur, not knowing what to do, concentrated on the dead ant's body and dove into it. Everything went dark for a second and when he opened his eyes, he saw another row of blue notifications.
You have successfully Possessed a mutated child Ant.
You have gained a new skill! [Dig](lvl 6).
You have gained a new skill! [Ant Language]
You have gained a new skill! [Dive](lvl 2).
You have gained a new skill! [Headbut](lvl 4).
Please check your status Window for more details.
Arthur quickly got up using his new 'body', he still wasn't sure what just happened until he read the notification and noticed his increased height. The hole he inflicted on this body was still present but he didn't feel any pain and his Health was still full, which made him conclude that any 'self-inflicted' injury on a host won't cause him any troubles, apparently.
The rest of the ants were confused but due to their limited intelligence, they soon dispersed. After Arthur possessed that ant, he tried to sneak up and find a safe place, but it was a huge labyrinth, it took him 2 whole hours to find a place relatively quiet, remote, and safe with no ants nearby.
A sudden drop in temperature indicated that night has fallen so Arthur spent quite a while resting without being interrupted by any of his 'kin'.
When he woke up, he felt invigorated and decided to try and possess more ants to further increase his shallow stats. After possessing the current host, his stats were slightly boosted and should be enough for him to fight equally with some of them. Furthermore, his high Agility should allow him to flee comfortably if the need ever arises.
After searching for quite some time, he finally found a Mutated Ant child level 2. He approached it from behind and used [Dive] on it. He thought it would put a little resistance, but it was crushed into the wall and turned into a mass of flesh and broken scales with green blood dying the ground. As soon as it stopped twitching and died, he got notifications that he gained several levels.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
