………………………….
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT IS OVEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
WATCH OUT WORLD! A NEW DEMON LORD IS COMING! YOU’RE ALL ABOUT TO DIEEEEEEEEE!!!
Oh boy! I’m not sure if it’s exp or souls or whatever, and I don’t really care! All you need to know is that I’m about to be grinding these poor little animals for whatever that blue energy was!
I can’t say how I know, but I know that I’m now stronger. All thanks to Bambi!
I wonder if karma exists in this world? Could be pretty bad for me….
Let me put out a prayer for Bambi.
“Thank you for your sacrifice little Bambi *sniffle* I’ll never forget you”
I think that’ll do it.
Alrighty then, I’m definitely slightly stronger. Just the tiniest bit stronger to be honest. But I did grow stronger, and that’s all that matters. So let’s start walking and see if there’s any other wounded animals along the way. And while we’re at it, let me see if bugs give exp too.
*Squash*
*Schwooop*
Yeap, they do. A negligible amount, but they do.
Why am I walking away and not eating the fawn you say?
That’s because I actually feel slightly full after absorbing that blue light. Plus, it’s not like I had any tools to actually cook the fawn. Looking back, I didn’t really think things through very far, did I? If I wasn’t full, I don't know what I would have actually done to cook that fawn….
Thank god for the blue light!
Is there a god here?
Well let’s not think about it too much~
For now, I have two objectives:
ONE! Find a place where I can sleep safely at night and…
TWO! Continue killing any insects I find and any animal I may have a chance to. I’m not sure how long I’tll take for me to gain any meaningful strength, but don’t underestimate me! I’ve spent countless hours and sleepless nights grinding in my favorite rpgs to be fazed by the task ahead of me!

*Squash*
Didn’t I say previously that I wasn’t the type of girl that liked to go through hardships? And that’s why I didn’t work out in my previous life?
Well this isn’t the same. I mean the results are instantaneous so I actually feel motivated! Unlike working out were you don’t even know if what you’re doing is right.
*Squash* *Squash*
Thinking about it, isn’t that how the dopamine in our brains work? We prefer to do things that gives us instant gratification as opposed to long term projects? Pretty sure I read that somewhere on the internet. Really, my laziness is all my brain’s fault~
*Squash* *Squash* *Squash* *Squash* *Squash* *Squash*
There’s a lot of bugs in the forest you know~
Oh! Found a cave! It’s inside a small mountain, pretty easy to see since there’s a lack of trees around the area. I should probably check for signs of a bear or something else that can eat me…
Alright, I looked around and saw leaves, branches, rocks, and dirt in the ground. No clear sign of footprints, but it’s not like I even know how to tell if there are… Let’s just enter this cave and see if there’s anything inside.
It’s pretty dark in here actually, I’m beginning to get a little scared you know. It smells damp in this place, but at least there doesn’t appear to be any animals in here. Or at least any that I can see….
There’s probably rodents and spiders in here right? Well, if I can't see them, then they don’t exist!
So everything is A-OK!
Well now that I have a base let’s begin grinding for real! I need to find myself some useful items to build some sort of weapon so that I can kill animals and make grinding easier, after all, squashing bugs gets kind of boring pretty fast….

What? Didn’t I say that you shouldn’t underestimate my will to grind? Well you’re the fool for believing the words of a *future* Demon Lord! I mean, who the hell has the patience to squash bugs for hours! And without any music or podcasts for that matter!
Honestly, I’m starting to think that it would have been better to be summoned into an Otome Game world. I mean in those worlds, even if you’re summoned as a villainess, for the most part the body you’re put inside of is that of a gorgeous and a peerless beauty. And, so long as you’re not a horrible prick to those around you, you could expect to do pretty well for yourself.
What about when they’re summoned right after they’re disgraced or exiled you say? Let’s not worry about that. I mean, most of the time the girls are summoned in those situations, they always have some incredible talent or wit to aid them. I’d probably be unable to do anything however….
I’m getting pretty bored here, but well, it’s not like there’s anything else to do. So on i’ll go, squashing bugs and gathering resources, until something interesting finally happens….

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

World After Calamity
Two hundred years ago, the Calamity occurred, an event which changed the terrain and climates of the world immensely, shifting continents and regions, developing new religions and altering life itself. The existence of magic and monsters was no longer able to be concealed, and until the Sage came and ended the Calamity, the world lived in chaos. Now, two hundred years later, two primary forces in the globe, united under a single government, oversee all magical and supernatural crime and disruptions, working from the shadows and in the light to ensure the safety of all. Something has upset the delicate balance the Sage created, however, and monsters sightings occur more and more frequently, and the signs of a second Calamity have begun to reveal themselves. At the same time, young superhumans begin training to fight against the forces causing this, to protect the mundane from monsters, and to ensure ancient artifacts are preserved and secured. This is the story of Team Lusvar, a unit of extraordinary superhumans, the world they live in, and the missions they're sent on and trials they face.

Skyfire Magus
Lynne Hyorn, seventeen years old laziness-personified, manages to enter one of the four prestigious Academies for the Arts of Magic, Skyfire Academy for Magical Arts. However, unlike others, the reason he enrolled was not to pursue Magic, but rather because his father promised him hefty allowance if he manages to enter.

With no other choice, he decides to finally dedicate himself for the first time in his life, rising up from being just a lowly, Unranked Mage, to the ultimate guardian of the Academy: Skyfire Magus. A coming-of-age story set in a world of Magic follows young Lynne through the perils of strength, dedication, and world where fist isn't always the answer to every question. ~If you find any mistakes, please do comment on them or send me a message.

A New Beginning
Humans don't understand how someone can be both dead and alive, and that fact scares them, it opens up the possibility of a threat even if there is no evidence of malevolent intent. So, the only solution in the minds of humanity is to dominate and subjugate the unknown variable until it no longer has even the potential to be a threat. They choose to pretend that the unknown variable is lesser, that humanity is superior on no other grounds than that it's humanity. Danny had been stuck with the G.I.W for years when the Young Justice team rescued him. Broken, beaten, and none the wiser of the greater majority of humans, the humans with kindness in their eyes and light in their souls. He's been trapped in the darkness of greed and fear and violence for far too long, and what's left behind is a fractured mind and a trained weapon. Buried underneath that, however, is a young child who is scared and confused, a child that hasn't seen the light of day in years. That child never expected to see the bright side to existence, to see the light shine in the souls of the righteous. That all changed with one group of heroes, and one family of Bats.Cover doesn't belong to me.Cross-published on two other sites*Undergoing heavy editing, nothing plot-wise is changing, I am only editing grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, sentence variation, and formatting and overall I am just making it a more pleasant and refined read :) I am also deleting the A/Ns at the beginning and end of each chapter
