《The Immortal Mutant Teen》Chapter 36- Monster Unleashed

and Acheron's 'Super Punch' was only just the beginning of Poison's nightmare.
Acheron continuously dodged every attack sent his way by Poison and retaliated each attack in all kinds of ways, be it punches, kicks, and slaps… at one point, Acheron had German suplexed Poison 5 times in a row.
Poison seemed a little groggy after so many continuous moves from Acheron, but Acheron didn't stop, he could tell that Poison was hiding his rage just beneath the surface, waiting for an opportunity to exact revenge on him.
"Monkey stealing peaches!" Acheron exclaimed,
"AAARRRHGHH" Poison screamed in unimaginable pain,
Those in the audience, especially the males, felt how much pain Poison was in after that move, they also felt a lingering phantom pain in between their legs.
Acheron just laughed and laughed, his grin getting wider and wider, even some in the audience had begun to ridicule Poison along with Acheron.
"Oh! I never did ask… what's your obsession with Akeno anyways?" Acheron asked as he looked at Poison writhing in pain on the floor,
"She is mine! *groan* Mine! Mine! Mine! *groan*" Poison said in between groans of pain, that attack to his balls still hurt,
"With the way your acting, no wonder she thinks you're a disgusting creep! Do you want me to give you some tips on how to pick-up women, trust me! I know what I'm talking about!" Acheron said, he seemed to have turned into a rich playboy advising a junior,
Though Poison hated Acheron's guts, he was a little interested in what he had to say, it's a fact that with Acheron only being in school for 5 days, he already had 3 girls going after him.
"First, you need to get some sun, you look like you spent most of your time masturbating in your parent's basement, you look like a ghost"
That comment made Poison a little angry, but Acheron did have a point, Poison spends most of the time indoors concocting his poisons.
"Then you need to get yourself a female friend or any friend for that matter, because you have no idea how to talk to women, you give off these weird, creepy, stalker vibes, and that's why you can't get Akeno, or any woman for that matter, to look your way"

Poison had recovered a little bit, and this point he had sat up listening to what Acheron had to say.
"Last but not least, this one is the most important… after you're done with the first two tips then you can go ahead and continue changing everything about yourself, especially your face, because, boy, you look like shit!!"
Acheron busted out laughing so hard as if a child had just finished pranking someone.
Poison was shocked at first until he realized that Acheron had been making fun of him the whole time!
In his rage, he concluded,
'I wasn't going to play this card because it can get me in a lot of trouble with the school but Acheron… you have truly pissed me off!! and you are going to suffer a thousand times more than I did!' Poison thought,
While Acheron continued laughing his ass off, Poison secretly grabbed some sand and held it in his hand, he went to get up making sure to not let Acheron see his face or hand.
With lightning speed, Poison threw the sand towards Acheron's face, obstructing his view, then Poison had spit two hidden needles towards Acheron, he had hidden the needles in his mouth while he was getting up.
"HaHa! Gotcha!" Poison exclaimed,
Acheron felt something moving towards, so he put his hands up in defense, the two needles embedded themselves into Acheron forearm,
Looking at the needles, Acheron ripped them off, but seconds later he fell forwards unable to move,
Laughing at Acheron and rejoicing that his sneak attacked work, Poison walked up to Acheron's fallen body,
"Don't bother struggling, one needle is covered in a paralyzer while the other, that one, well, it brings unimaginable pain… it should be taking effect any second now and… there!" Poison said,
Acheron's body began to convulse and twitch, it appeared like he was having a seizure of some kind.
"AH… ARGH… AHH!" Acheron exclaimed, he seemed to be in terrible pain,
"HAHAHA! This what you get! Do you take me for a fool that you can mess with any time you want?!" Poison said as he stood over Acheron's twitching body,

"Now… how long will you be able to endure before you give up, but till then, I'll see you suffer!" Poison said,
He turned around and looked at the audience,
"You think you can just laugh at me and get away with it?! I'll be sure to challenge every single one of you!! I'll remember your faces!"
Kobayashi-sensei walked up to Acheron to make sure he was still awake,
"Do you wish to give up?" Sensei asked,
Acheron seemed to shake his head in denial, well, at least it seemed that way, you couldn't tell when his whole body was convulsing and contorting in pain,
"Ask him again!" Poison exclaimed,
Sensei went to ask again but Acheron seemed to try and say something,
"I-I-I-…" Acheron stuttered,
"Come on! Say it! Give Up!" Poison yelled,
"I-I-I-…" Acheron once again said,
Both Poison and sensei leaned their body closer, they wanted to hear what he was going to say,
"I-I-I-I-I... I think you are an Idiot!" Acheron said,
A burst of maniacal laughter seemed to come from Acheron that was lying down on the ground, his twitching and convulsing had stopped, and he slowly got up,
"HAHAHA! Did you like my performance?!?! HAHAHA!" Acheron exclaimed in between laughter,
He looked at the crowd and shouted,
"WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?!?!"
The crowd cheered at his words, what a rollercoaster that was just then, they thought he was done for!
"HOW?! How are you fine?!" Poison shouted, he was delirious,
'How can anyone get up from my trump card?' He thought to himself
Acheron picked up the two needles he had taken out of his arms before his play,
"*lick* Ohh~ cone snail venom was the paralyzer and… *lick*… Tetrodotoxin, that was supposed to mess with my spinal nerves and cause the convulsions of my muscle system…. Nice choices! Exotic too!"
Poison looked at Acheron like he was a freak, not even him dared to consume those,
"And to answer your earlier question…. Well, that's because I got poison resistance maxed out!" Acheron said as he continued to laugh,
'Are you an RPG character?!?' Poison thought,
Acheron's laughter slowly receded until he was once again just smiling at Poison,
"Phew! That was lots of fun! Thank you!... I think you should just give up now, your poisons are useless against me and your fighting skills at sub-par at best, you don't stand a chance!" Acheron said,
Acheron turned around heading out of the arena, he was done here, and even if it was counted as a loss, everyone had just witnessed the true winner for themselves.
Acheron disregarding his martial way was the last straw and Poison snapped,
"Acheron! I'm going to kill you!! I'm going to kill Akeno, that slut!! Then I'm going to torture and kill your whole family-" Poison words were cut off, cold sweat formed on his back,
The Colosseum was eerily quiet now, his words echoed through it and entered everyone's ears.
Everyone present had a really bad feeling, it was a bad feeling deep in the pit of their stomachs, thought Poison was the one that said the words, they felt like those were words one should never speak.
'He never should have said that' everyone simultaneously thought,
Everyone's eyes then converge on Acheron who was now frozen in place, it felt like they were looking at a volcano that was about to erupt, the air seemed to pulse around Acheron.
Those that were able to see Acheron's face, were now sweating bullets, a chill crawled up their spine as they looked upon Acheron's horrifying face twisted in pure rage.
Acheron turned around and like a volcano erupting, Acheron roared at Poison,
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE SHIT?!?!?!?

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.

8 123Zeroth Knight
Isekai, fantasy, with the core themes of Identity and Fate. Story contains a, mostly, lesbian cast. Just when she was about to confess to the man of her dreams, Eve is taken by a light to another world. Swallowing her up, against her will, eroding her, it demands a life so contrary to her previous one. In a new world with the title of “Zeroth” forced upon her, she must rely on her newfound “friends” to stay sane and navigate her responsibilities. But bit by bit, the world loses sight of the girl inside; seeing only “Zero,” the person she did not desire to be, but the hero that the world needed. Will Eve let the title she bears consume her, or will she become the hero in both body and mind? This is the tale of her struggles, and a star-crossed love destined by Fate to never converge. This is the tale of Zero. This story is a slow-burn, meant to be a few hundred pages or more in length, so the plot isn't the fastest to move. It also has lesbian-themed relationships for the majority of its cast. This story partially falls under, "harem" with the main character being female and gaining the affection of other females, against (at first) the main character's (Eve) will. This first arc will be more focused on the mentality and emotions of the cast with battles spaced intermittently. The second arc will involve a lot more fighting. Arc two will be out in a reasonable timeframe. I have another story up, a short story drama with light yuri and supernatural themes: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/27010/escape-the-knight I am will continue updating older chapters to make them flow better, and to just be more structurally sound. Follow me at: https://twitter.com/ozefen0 Share the story if you think it's good. And please rate some stars and leave reviews guys. It will help encourage other people to take a chance with the story and get to know this wonderful journey with us. Also, a friend has made a Discord for the "Zeroth Universe" if anyone wants to join and hang out to talk about the stories, theories, or just general fun chats with us! https://discord.gg/f3Bc4TR
8 238I Became a Legend Before I Realized It
When the world's first DMMORPG gets released, Yuu—19, unemployed, socially incompetent, video game addict— decides to play the game with his little sister. On his first day, he unlocks a decent class and even enters a dungeon. What he doesn't expect is the game to turn into reality without even giving him even one chance to log off. He finds himself in a fantasy world where demons, angels, and crazy princesses run amok. The epic tale of Karna (Yuu's game character) is just beginning. Additional Info (for those who are still not sure if the novel is worth reading) -Get ready for levels, skills, and classes. It's a game world. What did you expect? (The plot is not driven by game stuff though) -A lot of fighting scenes and world-building. I was planning to write a RomCom at first but well... apparently I can't live without serious action. -At least one chapter every week and around 2000 words each chapter.
8 139Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
