《Dragon: Birth of an Ancient》Not a Chapter - Info/Background Updates/changes
Advertisement
Hi All,
First wanted to say a huge thank you to those that have followed, commented, reviewed and read this story.
Now we are getting into the interaction/main story a few things that have been bugging me in the raws are starting to mentally hurt me so have decided to make some changes. I do plan to go back and correct past chapters but will not do it at the expense of new releases (Just as time allows).
The first change is the timelines:
5000~ Years Ago - War between Dragons and the Gods. - The retreat of 11 dragon clans and extinction (bar Kai) of one.
2000~ Years Ago - Rebellion against the Gods (Mortal species), destruction of interplanetary travel (via portals) and loss of most technology (reset)
Present day - 5000ish Years after Kai's egg had been laid and hidden
Dragon eggs conventionally take 2000ish years to hatch, however, with Kai's mother's magic, time was distorted and his growth hindered.
The second is 'Level/Rank states for 'Creatures' (Non-human)
Animal -> Rank 1 to 10 -> Evolves into a Beast. (Natural Animals = Dogs/Cats/Cattle etc).
Beast -> Rank 1 to 10 -> Evolves into Divine Beast (Natural Beasts = Lions/Tigers/Elephants/Waterbufferlow etc)
Divine Beast -> Rank 1 to 10 -> Evolves into a Monster (Evolved and Natural Beasts, No natural Divine beast).
Monster -> Rank 1 to 10 -> Evolves into Divine Monster (Natural Monsters Basilisk, Dragon, Drake, wyvern, Phoenix etc).
Divine Monster - Rank 1 to 10 - Only Natural Monsters can reach this rank.
(This was changed from Animal -> Beast -> Monster -> Divine Beast -> Divine Monster. I didn't like the mix up of beast/monster).
Humans and their subspecies (demi-human - Lamia/Minotaur /Harpies etc) have simple ranks, in two categories.
Warrior/Mage | Copper -> 1-10,
Warrior/Mage | Silver - > 1-10,
Warrior/Mage | Gold -> 1-10,
Warrior/Mage | Platinum -> 1-10
Current Ranks:
Dryad - 10th stage Beast
Woads - Late stages Beast
Mira - Mid Rank Two Monster
Kai - Peak 4th Stage Monster
Mellisa - Unknown atm
Eldric - Unknown but weaker than Kai (from Kai's senses)
Others - Unknown ATM
Hope these changes make sense but if you feel there is room for improvement/ other ideas, please let me know in the comments below.

Is This Another Isekai?
"A new world, a new me. Stats and all, I've gotta figure out how to navigate it. Wish me luck." Aeva was a bored young streamer with college debt and a whole heap of anxiety. Lukas was her brother, a calm and collected chemist. Tedrick was a work-fanatic businessman with a penchant for learning and exercise. Aeva would rather be relaxing in front of a computer, Tedrick would rather be working, and Lukas would rather be partying, but it seems like that wasn't in the cards. Now they have to figure out how to survive... and what's this about a stat screen? Written by KeraNyx and LifeiestLizard.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.
