《Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)》Appendix: Northworld Fauna
Advertisement
Enterprising Gaters have named species of Northworld, including unnatural species. Most of those species will probably be renamed if there is ever a real Northworld taxonomy tree since there’s no reason why a Rabbicorn would be related to its mundane Earth equivalent.
Lepus Cornutus (Horned Hare) – A hare-like herbivore with a single horn on its forehead. Typical ranks 1 to 3.
Canis Curiosus (Curious Dog) – A gray wolf analog that is highly curious about possible prey, even when not actively hunting. Typical ranks 3 (young) to 8.
Echinotritus Unda (Smoking Newt) – A smoke-breathing black salamander. The smoke is slightly debilitating, but not dangerous. Typical ranks 5 to 11.
Canis Albinus (White Dog) – A white wolf analog that is highly territorial. Will attack at random. Typical ranks 6 to 11.
Leopardus Serpo (Prowling Ocelot) – A stealthy mid-sized feline predator, nearly impossible to notice unless it is currently attacking you. Typical ranks 7 to 15.
Varanus Luteus (Orange Monitor Lizard) – A mid-sized sauroid with a yellow-orange skin that is highly prized for its fire protection properties. Typical ranks 7 to 12.
Rattus Bromosus (Fetid Rat) – A cat-sized rodent with a particularly pungent smell. The smell acts as a distraction for would-be predators. Typically ranks 8 to 14.
Chaerephon Spuo (Spitting Bat) – A small flier that spits slightly acidic saliva. It’s assumed it’s used to dissolve hard fruit rinds. Typically ranks 8 to 16.
Umbra Custodia (Guardian Shade) – A spirit that appears in key outdoor locations at a specific time. At least Lesser Elite. Typical ranks 10 to 21.
Corvus Rubicundus (Red Crow) – A smart corvid with bright red plumage. It also breathes small bursts of fire. Typical ranks 13 to 20.
Leopardus Venator (Hunting Ocelot) – A nocturnal mid-sized feline predator. Typical ranks 14 to 22.

Buffalus Percurro (Hasted Buffalo) – A large bovine with an extremely quick gait, capable of sustaining trot speed for hours with two-three hundred kilograms of charge. Percurro will be extremely agitated and might attack if you’ve killed any of its kind during the last three months or so. Typical ranks 19 to 25.
Agamodon Acer (Cutting Legless Lizard) – A subterranean snake-like creature with sharp bony sides. Its constricting attack is particularly effective due to the bone razors. Typical ranks 20 to 28.

Equus Esuriens (Hungry Horse) – A pony-sized equine with two pairs of large jutting canines. Hunts in packs. Typical ranks 22 to 35.

Saniwa Luteus (Orange Rock-lizard) – A large-sized and rare sauroid with a yellow-orange skin that is highly prized for its fire protection. Typical ranks 23 to 30.
Rhynchus Tenebris (Tenebrous Weevil) – An 8-legged creature resembling a wolf-sized version of a weevil. Lesser Elite and above use psionic attacks and debuffs in addition to the normal stabbing moves. Typical ranks 23 to 32.

Ursus Jubatus (Crested Bear) – A midsized bearlike creature with a large fur crest along the spine. Far stronger than its normal rank indicates. Typical ranks 27 to 38.
Ceratosuchus Auium (Multicolored Alligator) – A peacock-colored horned alligator. Easy to spot, but extremely fast swimmer. Typical ranks 27 to 40.
Herpailurus Spumantis (Slobbering Jaguar) – A mid-sized black feline with a slightly debilitating spit. The black claws are prized for necklaces, making easy jewelcraft items. Typical ranks 28 to 36.
Umbra Terrenus (Underground Shade) – A spirit that appears in key underground locations at specific times. At least Lesser Elite. Typical ranks 28 to 49.
Sus Dentefaber (Spiked Boar) – A boar with hedgehog-style spikes. Highly magical resistant, but weak to psionic attacks. Typical ranks 29 to 50.

Alces Gelidus (Freezing Elk) – A whiteish elk with thorny antlers. It uses a cold breath attack, with a relatively short range, but particularly damaging when unprepared. Typical ranks 34 to 41.
Eudimorphodon Sexalatus (Six-winged Drakes) – Name for the members of the Drake family. The six-winged lizards also have six limbs for grasping. The males and females exhibit very different colors, but each sex has an extremely wide range of sizes. Typical ranks 36 to 98 (apparently proportional to size).
Canis Infernum (Hell Hound) – A red-pelted wolf. Particularly full of Aether, which makes it vulnerable and extremely dangerous at the same time. Typical ranks 42 to 50.
Megantereon Triceps (Three-headed Feline) – A giant feline version of the classic Cerberus. It primarily uses magical attacks. Typical ranks 45 to 58.
Pumilus Umbra (Shadow Dwarf) – A 60-70cm hairless humanoid with grey mottled skin. Moderately intelligent, and extremely cunning. Typical ranks 46 to 70.

Umbra Dominus (Possessing Shade) – An Elite spirit that can take psionically control of a Gater and use him/her as a vessel to fight. Considered extremely dangerous for its nominal rank. Spotted first near Deva territory. Possible ranks 55 (unconfirmed).
Acrantopsis Fulgeas (Scintillating Boa) – A 8m long giant serpent, named from his glowing scales. Unfortunately, the scales lose their light upon death. Typical ranks 55 to 72.
Ossa Lucidum (Shiny Skeletons) – A spirit construct looking like a metallic skeletal model. Spotted only in the Control Pyramid near Fanduk. At least Lesser Elite. Typical ranks 85 to 100 (unconfirmed).

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.

Overseer (Dwarf Fortress x Worm)
A young woman gains the power to make elements of a saved game real. She must then survive the assault of a coordinated attack by some of the deadliest parahumans on the planet - he same group of murderhobos that caused her the mental trauma that resulted in her gaining her powers to begin with.This is a crossover fiction between the most complicated game ever created, 'Dwarf Fortress' by Toady One, and an extensive grimdark superpower genre serial fiction called 'Worm' by Wildbow. It is violent and there are some references to sex in it, so it's probably not fit for young children to read, and persons not familiar with Dwarf Fortress or Worm might be confused by some elements, but I feel confident that it stands reasonably well on it's own.This crossover is complete. I posted it here in it's entirety all at once. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
