I'm going to do 3rd Person POV because it will help to be more graphic, also Im going to change the release schedule because I cannot uphold promises it's like if I promise something my brain goes ''Well we can't do that'', anyway Enjoy!
When Farren realised she could kill everyone now she noticed she could start using her high-tiered magic and practise it. As Farren thought of the things she was planning to do today a notification popped up...
Bloodlust released: All sentient beings in your vicinity will feel fear and the need to kill from you
Farren smiled, the max level for any skill was 10, although a small number it took a lot of experience to level one up. She instantly activated it, she walked downstairs to see her mother cooking, it was her fucking stew again, Farren always hated that stew. Her mother turned around and saw Farren walking towards her, she felt a shiver down her spine, Rena had always been suspicious of Farren, namely because whenever she looked in her child's eyes she felt like the devil was staring back at her, the child seemed too intelligent, too... evil. It had always felt like Farren tried to hide that fact but she watched her child walk towards her she could only feel like her imminent death was here.
Rena put down the spoon she used to stir and ran, she didn't know why she was running from an 8 year old but she was terrified of that thing ever since it looked her in the eyes and smiled. She should have run when she named the child Farren against her will, she should have noticed it was weird for her to do that, in this country and almost any other the word 'Farren' had meant slaughterer.
Farren was beaming, the woman had run away, Farren had always loved the hunt, Farren had been practising with her Elemental unlocked magic and finally had been able to summon her scythe, she noticed she could morph the weapon, lately she had been practising on the spear morphing and throwing, in fact, thanks to her wish of weapons mastery she could throw with almost pinpoint accuracy. She hurled the now spear at the terrified women, but she didn't aim for the heart, no no no that wouldn't be fun, she would aim for the leg, halting the bitch.
Farren had always had a theory about the Wind magic, humans absorb the 02 in the air through their skin, although it is not beneficial to them like making them be able to breathe through their skin it helps produce C02, so the question Farren had was could she control the air that went into their skin, she tried on some sheep that their neighbour owned that figured out she could, of course she had tried further into the theory and the results were beautiful.
Farren started to sense the air around them, the controlled the air inside Rena. Farren wasn't going to suffocate her that would be too easy, too simple. No, she was going to make her turn inside out. She made the air concentrate around her stomach and burst out, making her guts follow and then her bones and then her skin, the only sound was a faint popping and a large amount of squelching, after 8 years of not killing humans Farren had a lot of pent up rage, her Bloodlust had also increased by 1 level.
During Farren's contemplation she used the last bit of the women to make a picture, the heart of the women was the last to go, it was still beating so she grabbed it and took a bite, it tasted warm and copper-like, it's not like she expected much anyway, so tossed the heart.

New Title Earned: Heart Eater
She wasn't surprised by the announcement, it would be pretty hard not to get a title from that. Just as she was think that a new notification showed up...
New Title Earned: Family Killer
She smiled, Farren had a new found love for this world. When she killed her family in her old world she didn't get to keep a trophy, she had to act like the sad little girl who watched her parents die, the police were fooled and she set up evidence to frame the guy who her father worked with but she always felt hollow after that, nothing really fulfilling came from it but now she had a title it changed everything!
Farren had used her Mind Magic to see what the women was thinking during her last moments, she had always been curious to what her victims had felt before they died. But her last words were oddly disappointing... it was just 'what are you? ' , Farren had gotten a lot of that from when she was just Emily, the sad fact was it was just the usual for her.
Due to her disappointing words Farren couldn't mock her and but then she looked at her handiwork and her mood lightened, there was blood all over the room and and lump of skin and bones and guts right in the middle, truly too beautiful for words.
"This may be my best work~"
She walked to the front door and opened it, the woman's death was a silent one, she really didn't get much time to scream, as she walked into the village many people stopped, some screamed, others fainted, Farren didn't realise until now but she was covered in blood and still emitting her Bloodlust skill, she looked around and saw her father looking at her in horror...
"Oh my gods! Farren!, are you okay? Is your mother okay?!" the man ran towards her, Farren could only roll her eyes, the fuck-wit couldn't even put together the pieces, especially since the bloodlust she was letting out made everyone afraid of her, she walked towards him planning how he was going to die. She wanted him to suffer the most, that women got off easy but he would suffer, she would make sure of that. The village was going to be a problem with all the witnesses so Farren cast a high-level spell as well as , normally these are simple spells and are low tier but she cast it around the whole area infusing a lot of mana into it, in truth the village was larger than most, more verging on a town than anything.
Using the Mind Magic she paralyzed everyone in the place, she would get to them later...
She stopped her father by grabbing his neck, she choked him just enough so he wouldn't die but couldn't quite breathe either, after the years she spent with the couple she learnt how to restrain herself, in fact if there was a skill for it she would probably be level 10.
Her father's eyes looked at her in confusion, he was still an idiot. At the best timing possible Farren received the greatest notification she had seen.
Illusion Released, Time Limit Complete
She felt the sense of release all over her body, she hadn't realised how constricting the illusion was, her father could only watch in horror as his little girl turned into a monster, he could accept her horns as they were blessed by a God but he saw her pale blond hair divide into black and white and elongate down to the length of her knees, he saw her eyes change colour from their dark blue to an almost toxic colour green and the other eye a deep purple, her pupils formed into a star with 4 points and smaller points behind them, her gold and black vine tattoo's became visible, they gave off a glow that would have been pretty if not for his current situation and what the tattoos were on. Her horns looked more menacing now, they had grown an extra 6 centimetres and the back one started branching out a bit like moose horns and the rest curled around her head, like insect mandibles or a crown, They had also turned a black colour and their rainbow highlights pulsed.

"Sw.. swee...tie..le..t..go..plea..se" [Johnathan]
"Dear god, you always called me that, I HATE THAT NAME, I ALWAYS HATED IT" [Farren]
Jonathan was so terrified he almost pissed his pants, at least, he thought that until he felt a warm fluid in his crotch area. Farren noticed and couldn't help but laugh
"And to think that shit actually happened, I always thought it was just in comics or books but here we are! a fucking coward who pisses his pants!"
Farren was enjoying every second of this, this man caused her the humiliation of a lifetime so she would humiliate him as much as she could. She really had hated being treated like a child.
As she saw the fear and humiliation in the man's eyes Farren wanted him to suffer more, the whole village was still paralyzed and watching so why not make it a show? She let go of Jonathan and froze him, she unfroze a woman who she vaguely recognized as a member of the Bitchy Housewives United group, a while ago she read her mind and saw she was cheating on her husband, she never found a way to take away of that advantage until now, she unconsciously smiled.
Faren put on her cheesiest game show host voice and started her little game...
"First contestant!, we have a member of the all women's group Bitchy Housewives United, tell me ma'am what is your favourite memory of your husband?"
"U-um, ple-please don't kill me"
"I SAID WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY"
The woman broke down, she was only 28 and already married, she had only cheated because her marriage was set-up between her family. Now some monstrous 8 year old child who was from her best friends family was covered in blood an emitted an aura of the need to kill, she could only answer with the hope her life would be spared.
"I-I had a picnic with him last year, h-he packed my favourite foods and our child, Hudson, found a hurt bird so my husband used some healing magic to help i-it..."
"Awww, that's so damn pathetic, I already want to vomit. But you gave me a great idea on what to do for the village!"
"L-let them l-live?"
"No."
"Now, tell me, why did you cheat on your husband with whatever his name was? and the other guy, and then both at the same time! Wow, lady you really got around!"
Farren knew this mainly because she was sifting around the woman's head, her memories were certainly eye-catching.
"I didn't... I l-love my husband..."
"No, you really don't, because you lied you get punishment, but don't worry I'll be nice and let you off easy!"
The woman looked at her with hopeful eyes until Farren walked up to her and wrung her neck, the cracking sound and the cut-off scream was beautiful to behold.
Farren then walked around making people tell her their favourite memories the killing them, the whole village was confused, they were all paralysed and being killed off one by one, by an 8 year old girl who looked like the embodiment of Hursea, the Queen of Hell.
.
.
.
Several hours later Farren was done, as she had toured around the village she had brought her father along with her, he watched as his village, his friends, his brothers were killed by his daughter, at the last moment he lost it.
"JUST LET ME GO PLEASE I'M BEGGING YOU STOP THIS AND LET ME GO"
The man was crying, his village was silent except for his screams and plea's.
"No, I have special plans for you~"
As she said this Farren decided to use the Light and Darkness affinities, she had used her scythe to kill some of the villagers, in many different forms too, like a sword or morningstar, sometimes she just used the original form of the scythe she enjoyed this because they seemed more terrified of it.
The man was still looking at her in fear, she was just about to start his torture until she was distracted by the notification
New Title Earned: Slaughterer
"Ehehehe~ honestly the skill system is too kind"
Just as Faren was looking away Jonathan found a new strength in his legs and ran toward the East Forest, he ran so fast he surprised even Farren, just as she was about to race after him she detected a few new signals in the east, and they were coming fast. She detected these using her wind magic, and noticed these people were probably after her, she raced towards them against all reason
"I'll find father after I kill these guys..."
When she got to them she was surprised, they were adventurers. No one in this deadbeat village was truly strong so she liked the thought of a challenge.
Meanwhile Jonathan was running deep into the forest, his mind damaged and tired, he knew his wife was dead, he saw everyone else die and he couldn't do anything. When his daughter was distracted by god only knows what he had to run, he didn't know how far or for how long but he was so deep in the forest it was almost pitch black. All he could feel was an emptiness, a dark void swallowing everything else inside him... and then anger, an anger directed at that thing he used to call his daughter, he had to get stronger and kill it, but he was weak, too weak now but he would catch up and defeat her.
"ARRGGHHHHH, I'LL AVENGE YOU ALL I SWEAR"
New Title Earned: The Avenger New Title Earned: Hero
He was stunned but then happy
"Soon" he thought "Soon you'll be the one dead and mangled not them, I'll get my vengence demonspawn"

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

Enter, Diavolo Signore and his friends, an ignorant trio who have been sent off from their home island to learn of the world, having seen potential, by their island chief.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
