《Forging his own destiny》chapter 016
Advertisement
You assholes. Really? First I thought, that vampire would win. I created almost everything for him. Everything! The story, the items, the fighting styles, the unique abilities…. Then kitsune start winning. I was a bit mad, but I like challenges so here once again I started creating everything! Once more, story, fighting styles, abilities… Kitsune was winning for 3 days. The vampire could surpass him a bit, then was Oni, and then was shapeshifter. With smth like 8 votes? Can you please tell me how it is possible for shapeshifter to win? I wasn’t paying attention for god damned 6 hours!!!
Okay. It’s cool. let’s improvise a little. Actually I can write about anything but that nian thing. If it would be the one who d won, I would take smth like 3-4 days break for literature. But. As I am honest, and I have said, that I will be writing about what you would chose, so here we are.
Enjoy!:
What is a Behemoth? Imagine an ape… a gorilla, to be accurate… you know, supporting his body with its frontal limbs.. but make it completely bald. No fur, no hair at all. It is bad thing, because you can see its abnormal muscles. Lower jaw extended, and it’s tusks are pointing out of its maw, for they are too big to fit inside of its mouth. Oh, one more thing. It’s big. Very big. 5 meters high and 2-3 wide? With one strike they could kill a horse. This is a thing that invaded village.
Ugly, big, powerful and even more ugly mother fu… swearing will not help us now. Actually I doubt anything would help.
- How do you think, Hanna, can we win?
- You should ask if we can buy enough time for villagers to run. And answer is: “I have no idea”. I will keep it busy, Ruby! Try to restrict it movements with ice magic! Shred his legs! Froze him to the ground! Zari! Ruby will focus on lower parts of its body! You have to aim for upper!
It will not be a walk in the park. First time ever, I used chant for fire magic.
- Sebastian! Walter! Remus! Gilbert! Aim for its eyes!
Spirits of anger, answer my call,
Here I stand, battled and torn
Yet I will not falter, I will not fall
I will raise from the ashes
Like a phoenix before
Here I am, naked and cold
Yet my story, begins to unfold
I stand alone, With wrath in my soul
Answer my plea, so I can walk above
As the ancient codex saith: Burn my enemies. Turn them to ashes!
It’s a simple chant, improving power of fire manipulated spells. Fire into fire. The peaceful layer that hides an violent manifestation. As behemoth was busy by driving away ravens from its eyes, I have all time needed. His legs were freezing to the ground. Slowly, he barely paid any attention to it.
I throw that self made explosive ball. It hits it directly on face. Feeling of relief start filling me, only to be replaced by fear in no time. It didn’t damage him! He barely took a step back! I was pretty sure that that explosion could blow the whole hut away, yet he only seemed to be enraged. You must be kidding me! I can’t do anything at all!
Monster rushed forward. The ice covering it legs shattered. As he hit Ruby with its palm, she flew few meters and stopped on the tree. She groaned , spited blood and fainted. Crap! It’s bad! I can run… easily. But.. do I want to? They are first individuals ever that welcomed me in this way. Even as wary at beginning… Ruby is my friend… Hanna is my teacher… THEY BELONG TO ME YOU 2 TONES SACK OF SHIT!

This is why I need power. To can protect what truly belongs to me! What is important in this whole humanity, if you can’t hold things that are truly making you a human?!
- H…Hanna. How long could you hold him alone?
- I can keep him for few minutes! Go evacuate a village!
- Sorry Hanna, it’s not something I intend to do…
- What are you doing?! – Hanna was looking at me with disbelief… and disappointment? She probably was thinking that I want to run away...
I turned around and walked into the hut. Then proceed to Hanna’s room.
- Sooo… in the end… here you are…everyone desire power… not many wish to pay for it… it’s actually normal… if you want to learn magic, you have to study, if you want to be a fighter, you have to improve your body… people are giving away time to get a power… I just require something else… will it be something you love? Will it be something you hate? Darrion was in pain. He was tortured! Every night he was wakening with screams! Yet he was the one called black mage! He was being hunted! Everything I could do, was to take away his emotions… he know peace for this small amount of time till he was murdered. He had this one peaceful night… it was all I could offer. Who is good? Who is evil? The one who you want to protect is not as kind hearted as you think she is. But… you know it already… there is no such thing like good or evil… one greeted as Hero in one place will be villain in another… do you wish to forsake something? Do you wish to immerse yourself into the gray? No good nor bad. You will know true, without any false. You will be the one bringing the shadow to the day… and light to the darkness. Do You Accept Me?
- I do
- Then feed me with blood.
I cut my hand, and let blood drops fall on the book. Every single one was removing runes and bonds. Belts were releasing book without me touching them. As the last chain fall of, the book opened itself. The pages were moving rapidly showing many monsters, runes of complicated spells… there was a drawing of human turning into wolf… other growing a fangs… and other growing tails… such a knowledge… How it could be forbidden? The book stopped on the drawing of human that was step by step changing. He grow a wolf head, eagle wings, scorpion tail, snake scales… oh crap… how many modification does he have?
- You are never the same. You keep changing. You can be happy just to cry in very next moment. You can love someone just to hate him in the very next day… you are shifting… so will your body. Embrace a change boy… normally it would take some time… tell me… do you have some… mana crystal? Or magic orb… anything that could be used as catalyst… Oh you do… monster core… it will do… eat it! Normally you would be left defenseless… but I will give you a gift… one time used only… Now… go and fight!
You are going through shapeshift process.

Something changed… I was getting sick amount of notifications… screw this… my whole body is in pain… I felt like my body structure is changing… I was getting taller… I had problem with walking outside of the hut… I needed to bow my head in order to fit in doorframe. And then, I saw it - the beast that was responsible for this whole situation… it was not looking so terrifying any longer… it looked at me too, roared, and charged … why is it so slow… no… really. I see it like some kind of extremely slowed down movie. Not only beast was slow. Hanna also was taking about 10 seconds just to turn around and look at me. She got pale, eyes widened.. what wrong? Ah, no matter, no matter… this pal over there looks… appetizing… heh? Why do I thinks such things? Why do I want to open its chest and eat its insides still warm and bloody… haha! What a stupid question! Why do I even asks such things!? If I want to, then I will do! I wanted a power to save those 2 girls I love, so I took it, I want to kill this maggot, then I will kill it… why should it be different if I want to eat it?

I changed my position. Landing on all four limbs… it was comfy like this? Why? Oh, who cares! Let’s eat already!! I jumped from the spot, and begin to rushed on all four legs in zig-zag pattern. I was a bit faster… but everyone else are sooo slow! Oy! Are you mocking me!? ME?! YOU MERE MAGGOT!
And I ducked under the beast and burry my claws in its leg while still moving. In process huge chunk of meat was ripped from its rear leg. Again roar, this time of pain. HAHA! SLOW! SO SLOW! Why am I getting excited? WHO CARES?! Why am I feeling joy while tormenting other being… I used to kill to survive… not for fun… WHO CARES!? Ah… it’s even better then lying with Ruby in bed! It’s better than having the tip of your head kissed! IT’S BETTER THEN LEARNING ALL THIS STUFF! IT’S BETTER THAN SLEEPING! IT’S BETTER THAN SINGING! IT’S BETTER THAN LIVING!
NOW I AM ALIVE!!! HAHAHA!
Another injury on its leg! He is getting unstable! Soon you will fall! Soon you will have your neck bitten, your blood drunk, your heart eaten! This thrill of the hunt… now he knows why wolves are leaving the forest in order to hunt for humans! This excitement!
Once again He jumped under its belly, rotated while passing it and jumped on its back, shredding it’s skin. He was getting information about putting on target bleeding effects… WHO CARES?! Who could ever know, that tormenting weak was such fun! Weak? THIS MONSTER IS WEAK! It throw away everything for pure vitality and strength! What’s the point of being strong if you can’t land a single blow!
I jumped off it’s back just to strike its legs again. He has fallen on his back? Has he? HAS HE?! On those poor, scratched backs?! Aw, you cry? Let me hear it more! MORE!!!
Oh, you have no power more to even resist? And you dare to call yourself a monster?! Pathetic! Tsh, you gave me some fun, so know my mercy!
Claws were swung with abnormal speed. It’s blood was everywhere. Now… let’s eat him. What can we get for eating him? Huh? Someone is calling me? Not important! I am … sooo…. hungry!
I burrowed my fangs in its body. Ah.. so sweet… how can blood be this sweet? I have no idea how I fill so much inside of myself. No matter how much I ate I was not getting full! I was done after half of it was eaten… to be accurate, when I have found its monster core and ate it.
Why am I tired? Heh? This feeling of weakness… my body changes again? No! let me stay like it for a little bit more! I don’t wanna! In this fur… it’s so comfy! Nice and warm! Sto… What have I done? Was it me? I have killed it? I HAVE ATE IT!? My claws are turning back to nails… teeth are getting smaller… my whole body is getting smaller! There was no more feeling of frenzy… just … what am I feeling? It’s not regret! I have saved them! They are safe! So.. why is my heart itching? Like its being poked by small needle? I looked at villagers, they are terrified. At Hanna… disappointed… and happy in same time… at Ruby… she is awake? She saw me? her expression is blank.

- He is a monster! Did you see him? Oh gods all mighty! Have mercy upon us!
- He protected us, you fool! Show him your gratitude, no fear! Don’t you remember the legends! As our ancestors was settling here, the wonderful Aira gave them a wolf to protect them! He is our savior send by Aira herself!
- he is but a werewolf! He will eat us as he only get hungry! He saved us?! More like he saved his food supplies!
- he healed you, you ungrateful bitch! And your daughter too!
- maybe sick one taste bad!
And so it was going. Praises and curses were being throw one after another. I didn’t care. The only person I cared back then was Ruby… and her face… why was she looking at me with such fear? And why was I crying? Why my heart hurt so much?! STOP LOOKING AT ME THIS WAY! JUST STOP! PLEASE! I BEG YOU! EVERYONE BUT YOU! I CAN’T LOST YOU! NO WHEN I JUST FIND YOU! I DON’T CARE ABOUT WORLD ANY LONGER, NOR POWER! LET ME JUST BE WITH YOU! SO PLEASE! STOP IT!
- Zari… I am afraid, that you have to leave… for your own sake… - it was Hanna… she don’t seem to hate me, more like she measure everything I did and ways I did it… and after she acknowledge that I did it in order to protect them, she started to think about best options. She always did.
As I wanted to answer some screams could be heard from the side of the forest
- Big Broooootheeeer! – As I turn my head in that direction something small, green, cute and fast blow me off and throw me on the ground - I AM SO SORRY! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED! PLEASE DON’T HATE ME! – aaand there was a crying. A loud one. How could in not sense this crying calamity approaching?
- Behave yourself… Just a little? Please? Now-now, everyone are all right! I have changed into some abomination, so as you can see everything is all right…
- I AM SORRY! SO SORRY! SORRY! UAAA! – oh, please. My head is in pain!
Villagers for a minute stopped their argue as they have no idea what to think about some unknown girl that at super-speed jump on completely bloody monster. That monster is me.
- Zari… who is that girl? – Hanna looked confused, Ruby changed her expression just a little bit
- Do not ask. You don’t want to know. Step back… go to your business.. or whatever. Just don’t…
- Uh… I once again showed by shameful side! Please, excuse my rudeness. I am Aira, Zari’s supervisor in this district…
Aaand yes, things get weird now. Some were falling on their faces, some started to getting pale and returned to their houses, some just thought little girl is telling lies. And Hanna took a step back.
- Aira… it’s pretty bad moment. I think I will have to change location for some time…
- So… you can come to forest… i..i..it’s not like I am lonely… and bored… in anyway… and not like I want to take advantage of your position just to enjoy myself… not at all… Ah! I know! You are stronger now so you can survive in the forest now! Aaand as your race changed, you will find most races in my forest! You will become much stronger! And as it is wilderness you will not harm anyone as your will be getting used to your powers! And from the forest you can walk to most of the kingdoms! Yes! It’s win-win! Yeeey! Zari come back!
- You are pretty happy, as for someone, whose creation almost destroyed village.
- Uuuu..
- Give me some time… I will just take some stuff… bid my farewells.. and I will be ready to go…
- I will wait for you at the verge of the forest! Weee – she is insane. She was sad, then happy, once again sad, and here we have her happy. All took … 45 seconds?
I raised my gaze at Hana. Looks like really is time for me to leave.
EVERYONE!!! LET'S SAY: "THANK YOU" TO CYBERNIGHT FOR SHOWING ME TABLE
even as it was pain in the ass

Runicka: Tournament of Monsters (A GameLit Card Game Fantasy)
The runes are changing, and with it, the game itself changes. Taygion Ardwella finds himself stranded, alone, and on the run from some very determined guards who claim Tay's stolen from them. They're right, but that shouldn't mean Tay has to give back what he took. He's only been in Stormwall for a week and already, he's earning the ire of the most powerful and notorious House that controls the city's underground. And when their scion challenges Tay to a duel of cards, Tay will find himself thrust into a game of sorcery and strategy as he attempts to both find a way out of this mess and find his own way in the world. To do both, he'll need to learn to accept guidance and coaching where it's sorely needed, craft a deck of unimaginable power, and not die whenever his opponents try and cheat him out of a hard-earn victory. But not all is as it seems in the shadows of Stormwall, and if Tay can figure out the importance of what it is he's stolen, he may just have a chance at saving the game of Runicka. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Runicka: Tournament of Monsters is a high fantasy, card game-based adventure novel with enough magic, worldbuilding, and characters to fill a Sanderson series. I would consider it a part of the GameLit subgenre. This series in particular is not an isekai, and will start and end in a high fantasy setting complete with its own lore and backstory. It is a progression fantasy, and I am writing it inspired by all the Yu-Gi-Oh mangas/animes, and all the hours I've invested/wasted (depending on who you ask) playing TCGs like Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic: The Gathering. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is a work in progress. In your journey through Stormwall alongside Tay, you'll probably find typos, grammatical errors, and maybe a confusing sentence every once in a while (although I hope to keep these to a minimum). That said, comments and suggestions on where I can improve are not only encouraged but greatly appreciated. And finally, expect new chapters every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~**Currently on a small hiatus. I have a bit of a workplace crisis going on. I'm still writing, but I don't have time to polish and publish. Chapters will return on a regular basis soon though!!**
