Chapter 23
Okay, calm yer tits. We can figure this out. First, we need to deal with the most imminent danger – the acid. It has been gnawing on me since I got here, and my energy reserves are running low. What are my options?
Alright, when I got here, I received new upgrades. I think I saw a defence upgrade among them. Let’s see.
=======
-Advanced defence system
-Advanced offence system
-Advanced movement system
-Intermediate sensory system
-Primitive conversion system
-Upgraded energy storage
-Extracellular offence system
-Additional basic modules
=======
Alright, first things first, buy advanced defence.
=======
-Cannot purchase ‘Advanced defence system’ no available modules.
=======
Okay, deep breaths, I already knew this would happen. Let’s buy a module first.
=======
-Purchased ‘Additional basic modules’ – x1
=======
Now for the defence.
=======
-Cannot purchase ‘Advanced defence system’ insufficient amount of free modules.
=======
You evil motherfuckers…
Okay, after checking, whatever I absorbed before, came with large amounts of biomass. I can afford plenty of new modules. Let’s just go with 20 for now and try again.
=======
-Purchased ‘Additional basic modules’ – x20
-Cannot purchase ‘Advanced defence system’ not enough resources.
=======
I give up. We are just going to lie here until we die. This is the end, guys. I'm glad we met.
If I must die, I want it to be something more than slipping away in unfeeling darkness.
=======
-Purchased ‘Intermediate sensory system’
=======
“Arrrghhh”
Well, that was a fucking horrible idea. It hurts, it burns. Pain in every part of my body. Why didn’t I stick with the unfeeling option? Can we speed this up? I can’t take any more of this torment. Where was that suicide button? Oh, right, it’s still stuck.
It’s like I’m inside a volcano. I wish I had some water to…

Oh…
If there is one thing I have enough it’s water. Every time my inventory works, it keeps on sucking inside more and more of it.
Release the floodgates! Down with the Nazgul riders!
I started to empty my collected water reserves outside of my body. The effect was immediate as instead of constant burning sensation, I was left with mild stinging pain. I slowly increased the output until the surrounding raising water pressure made me stop, and then changed it to a slow trickle just around me.
First things first, I tried to search for an exit, but it seems the module I used for the movement was lost, dissolved by acid. I could only float and wait for my body to regenerate my missing parts. At least, the bastards didn’t ask me to buy them anew. As long as I had enough biomass, my body tried to recover to the optimal state. I should not give those bastards any more evil ideas. Hope they can't read thoughts.
=======
/New options added for evolution choices:
-Advanced defence system - updated
-Advanced offence system - updated
-Advanced movement system – updated
-Upgraded energy storage - updated
/Evolution options added:
-Photoreceptors
=======
Woah, I swam into more free stuff! Yay for the team Kevin! Oh no, I can’t believe I said that! I hope I didn’t encourage him. He kept using ‘team Kevin’ all this time, and I guess it stuck.
So much biomass tho! I need my movement back so I can collect it all. I just need to wait a bit more and all of thi… WOAH. What in the bloody hell is happening! Who turned on the carousel?
We are floating somewhere and it’s going fast. My newfound sense of direction and the continuous bumps on my sides are a pretty clear indicator of that.

Did I just cause a fish to experience explosive diarrhoea? I don’t want to become a poo stain! I will never be able to tell this to anyone.
Remember that guy from our class? I heard he came out of fish's ass. Eww, nobody would want to date a guy like that!.
I’m taking this secret to the grave. Whoever speaks of this, and I’m talking to you Kevin, will get castrated by a chainsaw.
The tunnel is getting narrow, and at this point, I'm sure this is the opposite way of the entrance. Figures, I got teased of all that loot, and in the end, I'm crippled and forced to watch as it floats by.
"Uff"
I just got launched into a wall. Where am I?
=======
/Absorbed:
-Single cell organism
=======
Heh, nice landing. I even got a pillow underneath me.
Has the danger passed? I don't feel any acid around me. I feel..'normal'? Sure my sides still hurt, and my leg will never be the same (there goes my football career), but overall, it's a great improvement!
Time to recover and upgrade my weapon arsenal! If I don't get nukes by the end of the day, then Kevin has to do 20 push-ups.
"No, I'm not being unfair here. The 'team Kevin' needs a strong leader."
"Yes, I might be slightly resentful because of that team name, but I admit nothing. Your lawyer can talk to my lawyer."

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

The Shadow That Preludes Death (The Favoured)
Magic and fantastical beasts run wild on the countless worlds of the Fabric. Deities take an active interest in the Fabric. The Favoured, immortal mages of immense power vie for territory and power in the Fabric. Umbra a naive ward of the Duke is almost Grown and that means she will need to take an apprenticeship. The issue is she isn't good at anything, but she catches the eye of a master of magic, he thinks she might be one of the fabled Protectors the ones that would save them from the coming destruction. But Umbra isn't the hero everyone wants her to be. Updates will at least one chapter every two days. Notable Location Poliagoras. Poliagoras is the most important world in the Fabric partly due to it being the centre of everything both literally and metaphorically. Trade, commerce, travel, and politics are all conducted primarily on Poliagoras, it has the biggest city in the fabric stretching to cover almost the entire world. It also holds all the known Great portals in the Fabric which are the only way to travel to other worlds. Even without these things, Poliagoras would still be the most important world in the Fabric as it is home to the largest population of Favoured. They were mages chosen by the Deities and given the potential to become more than mortal. I cannot overstate how appreciated constructive criticism is. This is the first story I have written of my own volition so even a small comment on how I could improve would be great. The current title is most definitely a working one. I know it isn't great.

Terms and Conditions
The planet Earth –galactic name Driew—has always been an ordinary and peaceful planet with a small population of ape-beings ruling it. Conflicts do break out from time to time, but that is to be expected since most living planets die by either solar flares or some form of self-destruction. But, unfortunately for the Earth, a Mustela named Exflibberaguil was approaching this planet, and something destructive seemed to always follow him—though he would say it was just his destructively-hot looks. Marine Nick Lucifay is a female inhabitant of Earth, always too ready to run. When presented with an opportunity of adventure, her ape-brain figures that adventure is probably worth the consequence of death. And so, setting off to the nearest McDonalds, Marine Nick finds herself in the midst of an intergalactic struggle that involves a great quantity of bubbles. Chased by the most unlikely of enemies, Exflibberaguil must give up his secrets to save a world—and Marine—from running to their deaths.

The Chibok Papers
It was a terrible day in the camp of the Boko Haram terrorists in Sambisa Forest when seven girls belonging to the personal harem of their late leader disappeared mysteriously. Shortly after, the secret list of their sponsors, worldwide, was discovered missing.
