Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 161
Advertisement
The sudden appearances of the dungeons on Earth brought a lot of panic from all over the globe. Some officials even tried to revolt against other countries or create trouble this was all subdued when the International Hero Organization was created.
Usui, who was later known as the Flame Emperor, was enjoying his time on his balcony, reading a history book when the event happened. No matter whom or where, every person on Earth experienced an earthquake with a magnitude of 9.8. Surprisingly, there were zero deaths and no buildings fall which dumbfounded several scientists who later claimed that it wasn't an earthquake but something more mysterious.
Usui graduated from Oxford University but he didn't directly find a job. His family was quite well-off and they didn't lack any money, moreover, he was a prodigy since he was young. Whether it's painting, poetry or even acting, he had numerous skills and excelled in every one of them. What he liked most was reading stories but since his parents always insisted he takes classes of this and that, his free time lessened every day.
As for the romantic side, his mother prepared a blind date with some lady of another rich family more than one time, but truthfully, he hated that.
The girls would fall in love with him and some of them were even a bit clingy but he would always reject them in a kind manner. Years passed and he managed to develop a unique nature, he never got angry or yelled at anyone, even when he was irritated by something, nothing would be shown on his face.
When the world changed, and what was supposed to be an earthquake struck the Earth, a blue window appeared in front of him.

Usui gazed at the blue notification in front of him for several minutes before he managed to comprehend what just happened. To be honest, he never was a fan of games, he tried playing a few of them but he didn't find them as amusing as reading books whilst enjoying a cup of tea.
He may not be good at games, but he was acknowledgeable and after reading his status window a few times and checking his skills, he managed to comprehend a couple of things.
Such a sudden increase in Intelligence made him think a bit faster and remember some things from his infancy, the Wisdom was also helpful in coming up with more logical and better decisions or opinions.
He remained calm and picked up his book to try something, it was only a guess but it was confirmed when he found himself reading one page in a very short time. His reading and processing speed was augmented by a fair bit which pleased him but with power comes responsibility. Although he received something that should not exist, he was sure he was not alone and this was but the beginning.

The butler in their house rushed to Usui only to find him softly smile as he was looking at the book in his hand. He was worried for the safety of this young man but nothing out of the ordinary happened except that earthquake. No bookshelves fell and no ground was split apart.
'Now then...'
Usui took a breath of fresh air and sat up from his chair, he looked at the blue sky and raised his left hand while mumbling with a low voice

Unliving
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon, November 2021] For the longest time, Aideen Fiachna had only one prescient wish; to be the daughter her parents could take pride in. The idea was a tall order, especially as her father stood at the head of the Templar order, and her grandfather as the Pope. However, she endeavored to try nonetheless. Yet fate had a different path in store for her. For all her efforts, all her best laid plans, were but the broken off crumbs of 'one day'. That day, she was brutally slain by a vile, accursed undead being. Though, not even restful eternity awaited her in death. She awakened inside a coffin. Her coffin. During her own funeral wake. Discovering, to her horror, that she had risen. Not somehow resurrected, no, but back in the form of that most hated of beings--the curse of undeath. What will fate deal her next? Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. --------------------------------------- Expect: -Character progression in a journey of self discovery that spanned the ages -World building -Tragedy and Comedy in roughly equal measures -Occasional action Do not expect: -Much in terms of romance -Politics, barring passing views and mentions -A lighthearted tale.
