《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.

Your Happy Place
Life keeps moving on... no matter what happens; thus, the people playing their parts must endure any role they are given because, like they say, the show must go on. This is the definition of living. For Nira, her part is of an insignificant and lonely soul that is trapped as a servant in the clutches of a cunning king, doing whatever heinous tasks he wishes.

A place she wants a piece of back. That’s all she has ever wanted after being taken. Despite all the cruel cards that have been dealt to her, opportunity has finally arrived to get that piece of home; all she needs is a little coin. However, there is a time limit.

Body Modifier: Energy Required
Aria ate a fish. [Energy: 2] Finished, he ate another fish. [Energy: 2] ... [Energy: 3] Without realizing it, he had finished 5 fishes. He felt a little bloat, he lay down with a full stomach, occasionally burped. Even though he didn't want to be a big lump of meatball, he still had to keep eating. At least until he found another way to accumulate energy. After all, if he didn't take advantage of his advantages, wasn't that stupid? His mind then drifted imagining which one he would use the energy for. Should he use it on his eyes, so it shot a beam of laser, like a certain bespectacled mutant? Should he use it on his bones, so it regenerated infinitely, like a certain character from an anime? Should he use it on his brain, so he became a genius, like a scientist with a bald head? Or should he use it on his vital organ, so that he became the manliest person in the world? While he was imagining things, suddenly his ears felt pinched. "Ouch!" "Didn't mom already say you can't play with fire, you brat?!" There he realized, knowing that no matter what he chose, he was still a child in front of his mother.

Tabula Rasa : An Unbound Adventure
It starts as many things do: a clean slate, an empty page. What once was set in stone and wholly writ is gone, and all that's left is the vague notion of absence, a fullness lacking.The feeling of being tetherless, pathless, without direction or responsibility is something many would find terrifying. Others might find it freeing - an opportunity to strike out on new adventures and explore the unknown.Either way, first they have to figure out where they are and how they leave. ====== My first novel on this platform! An avid GameLit/LitRPG fan, I decided to start writing this when I seemed to exhaust all of my options for well reviewed content on the site! Inspiration for the world/general feeling is a mix of Azarinth Healer, Abyssal Road Trip, Winterborn, and the Power of Ten series, with a strong reliance on 3.5 and PF1 frameworks as a scaffold for the world. I see Arc 1 as a Robinson Crusoe style coming to terms scenario, lots of exploration of the System, the MC's options, the island and encounters with the denizens and visitors of the Timeless Isle, with a non-zero amount of introspection around their long term goals. I'll publish as frequently as I'm able but don't have a regular cadence planned at the moment.
