《PathOgen [Forge Your Own Path] Reader Interactive》[Get out of the dead whale]
Advertisement
As I stared at the Experience tab it began to flash dangerously. So did my threads. I was overfilled with experience.
As much as I wanted to level up to absorb all of the gained power... the safes option was to run. I wasn't ready to fight the Star-shaped hunter.
My shield was already overflowing with experience, glowing like a brilliant furnace of the nuclear engine with Cherenkov radiation, silver-blue radiance nearly blinding me.
I pushed a single, flashing, bloated thread through a gap in my shield and then snipped it off with Sectus-Anima, letting it float away and dissolve into nothing.
[-1 in Soul]
It hurt like hell, but it worked.
Experience:
10'514/800
I did it again.
[-1 in Soul]
Experience:
9'995/800
I stopped burning up from within.
Phew.
I ordered my shield to fire Sectus in a single direction. As my Sectus-armed Lymphagons pulverized the dead whale's rapidly dimming interiors, the current of the Astral had breached its insides and pulled me out of the Whale.
I looked back at my prize with a pang of sadness. I wanted to feast upon it... but I knew that it would kill me if I did.
[A tactical retreat is the best idea, my lad,] Keps commented from Legonnie.
"I know, granddad," I sighed. "I know..."
I looked around. The currents of the Astral Ocean had to be coming from something... maybe the Astral Engines, the mighty obelisks of Alania had survived, maybe our enemies couldn't reach them IN the Astral.
[They had to, since the Song-Spells are working,] Keps added. [Push against the strongest current. Find an Obelisk. If it's shield still works you can hide and level up inside!]
I obeyed his wise advice, swimming with my threads. My soul ached immensely, hungered.
I saw it then. An enormous, black obelisk, slightly tilted. It rose over the sea of corpses, calling to me. Safety!

I passed through the barely-visible purple shield emanating from a crystalline pyramid at its tip. I circled the obelisk, seeking a safe place for me to...
YES!
One of the batteries was fractured, broken. It was leaking mana... delicious, warm mana!
I settled atop the fracture, retracting my threads inside of me so they wouldn't burn up, occasionally touching the warm shield.
"Level me up, Sassony," I ordered.
I dreamt of Mother. She was waiting for me patiently... for all of me, across all of the Astral Ocean, across the infinity of possibilities. She was there, gathering power, getting stronger... aiming to become a god.
Every single possible version of me converged into her, feeding her insatiable desire for power.
[Congratulations on reaching : Level 4] [1 new skill slot gained!]
I awoke to the level up message.
Something was in front of me... blossoming from the landscape of corpses... a strange... glowing tree.

Lonely Apocalypse: Left Out By The System
Sometimes you wake up and just know your day is gonna suck. Now imagine waking from a three-year coma in an abandoned hospital, on an Earth that has recently fused with a different dimension. Yeah, it’s one of those days. The last I remember I was valiantly saving my high school crush from the path of an oncoming truck. Now I’m a skin and bones patient in recovery wearing nothing but my hospital gown. Has anyone seen my pants? Oh yeah, the world is also full of monsters, and I’m the only human left. Anyone ready for Spring break? It turns out a godlike System evacuated humanity, but decided to leave the vegetable in the bed. I can hardly blame it. From the moment my parents named me Lex Lurker, I was destined to be ignored. I could crawl into a corner and wait to get eaten by a freaking kobold but after years of being asleep I have a new appreciation for feeling alive. And for all the chaos, there are game-like rules and magical powers that could help me avoid becoming a meal, and perhaps even thrive in this hellscape. But first I’ll have to find the tenacity to survive, the courage to fight, and the strength to face some dark truths about myself. Whispered voices call me the Hope of Humanity, but it turns out I might be the villain of this story.

I will need your continued support to stay strong and finish this as fast as I can for all of you. Each chapter will have 2000 words at least. Posting schedule: 1 regular chapter a week. There may be an extra one so watch out for that. There may be a few errors here and there so I would like your assistance in spotting them. Thanks for reading! P.S the cover isn't mine, you can find it here. I just edited it a bit. https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Sword_Specialist_(3.5e_Prestige_Class)

Ancient Demons. A Terrible Curse. Only one woman can save the day … though she's not really a woman at all. Winona Treesinger is a Bigfoot—and no, she doesn’t just have large feet. She’s literally an eight-feet tall walking myth, and the last great princess of the People of the Forest. All she and her people want is to dwell in the deep places of the forest, well away from mankind and the destruction they bring to the land and the world. But when Winona hears about a string of grisly murders in the nearby city of Missoula, she knows in her gut it’s the work of an ancient evil, driven away from their lands long ago. Reluctantly, and against the wishes of her Father, Chief Chankoowashtay, Winona must leave the forest and venture into the world of men, disguised as a frail human, in order to set the balance straight and stop the killings. And with the help of a handsome, slick-talking city detective named Chris Fuller, she might be able to do it. But if Chris finds out what she really is, stopping the creature might be the least of her worries.
