《Bathilda the Bat》To Class Or Not
Advertisement
Words appear in red writting on the stone pillar before Bathilda. None of them look appealing to her, yet she's unable to remove her hand. As she struggles to pull away, the entire pillar is dislodged from the ground and comes with her. The writting doesn't blink and continues to stare her in the face.
"For fuck sake. I knew I shouldn't have done that. I knew it!" She berates herself.
I did tell you not to.
"I know, Hiro. It was just... I don't know. It was pulling me in." She reads the magical words again. "It's funny. The information on this thing is was what I actually wanted. The problem is, I don't want any of the classes it's offering me. And definitely not the last one. What am I going to do?"
Can't you reject them? Hiro asks the obvious question.
"I don't know? There's isn't a yes-no function on this thing. I'm also worried about touching something I shouldn't do and getting a class by accident. Wierd-shit happening seems to be the recurring trend around here." Bathilda and Hiro stay silent as they contemplate what she should do about her glued on class selector.
What are the classes? Hiro eventually asks.
"Apprentice Exterminator, Apprentice Beast Tamer or Lesser-Demon.
They don't sound so bad. Except the Demon one obviously.
"Obviously! The problem is that the other two also have 'Evil' stamped next to them for some reason."
Evil?
"Yes, fucking Evil! Stop asking unhelpful questions." Bathilda is pissed. She doesn't want to be evil. All she wanted was to help people but the forces of the universe seem to be set against her. She begins to attack the floor with pillar but doesn't get far before she moves onto the wall. She uses the reinforced object attached to her hand to destroy the building in her rage. The stone pillar is resilient and is only slightly damaged after Bathilda has destroyed the entire building with it.

Unhappy that the object is still attached to her hand, but feeling slightly better that it has been damaged, Bathilda continues her assault and moves on to the much-larger outside wall. Not as weak as the building inside, it withstands many hits as the pillar fractures and cracks under Bathilda's relentless attacks.
When she stops, Bathilda is heaving for breath. She's covered in sweat and her entire body hurts from the relentless assault. The pillar is a tenth of what it once was and barely any words remain on what's left of the stone. Once she's caught her breath, she looks at the object still attached to her hand in amazement.
"That was a strong piece of cement. I don't even know how many times I hit the wall with it. Speaking of, that's a fucking strong wall as well. Not even a chip?" Bathilda thoroughly inspect the outer wall. With no signs of damage whatsoever, it certainly shows how it has kept the large monsters out. The wall itself being only slightly-larger than the tallest trees.
Bathilda slightly regrets her actions. The exterminator class, although marked as evil, she had though it sounded pretty cool.
(Evil) Apprentice Exterminator
Requirements: Kill 1,000 Monsters
Special Skill: Strength Boost (Doubles strength for 10 minutes)
- Through hard work and effort you have unlocked a rare class. Strength and power are the primary factors of this class as killing many enemies requires it to be so
'That class would have worked well with obliterate I reckon, but it's not what I want.' Bathilda thinks as she begins her assault on the stone again. With the first hit, what remains of the pillar crumbles to dust and a new notification appears making Bathilda's heart jump.
(Holy) Apprentice Maiden
Requirements: Refuse three-separate classes with the (evil) distinction
Advertisement
Special Skill: Magic Power Boost (Doubles magical proficiency for 10 minutes)
- Through unrelenting determination you have unlocked a legendary class. The maiden is a symbol of hope actoss the entire world. Though there hasn't been one recorded in the past 500 years, records of their deeds still remain. Guided by a strong sense of justice and the courage to do what's right, the magic you now possess is enough to rival even the Demon King itself.
'Holy Shit! Literally! It's a class that isn't evil,' Bathilda is psyched she made the right choice. Not that smashing the stone pillar to pieces was one of her options. She does a little dance, out of joy, and accepts the class.
New Skills have been unlocked:
Heal: 5MP
Area Heal 20MP
Defliction 10MP
'I've got heal! That's the skill I saw before in the skill-shop thingy.' Bathilda continues her victory dance, feeling rather good about herself in the process. 'It's about time I got a class. I've evolved quite a few times since I ended up here. What are my other skills. Area Heal and... Defliction? It's obvious what area heal does, but defliction.
Defliction
Cures status afflictions.
10 MP
"That's not a lot of information, but I suppose it is helpful. Plus, they're bound to improve as well." Bathilda is overjoyed at recieving such a good class and the moment only gets better. A telepathic communication is sent from the clone in the East. "People?"
People?
"People! Fuck Yeah! Just after I got a class and a legendary one at that. I honestly can't believe my luck." Bathilda grins from ear to ear.
Don't do that, Hiro warns her.
"What?" She asks, not understanding what he means.
If you say shit like that, then something is bound to happen!
"Dont be so superstitious. This isn't a movie, you kno..." Before Bathilda can finish her sentence, the outer wall that protects the now-destroyed pillar building, begins to crack in front of her eyes. The large stone structure starts to fall inwards, threatening to crush Bathilda.
I fucking told you that would happen! Hiro screams as Bathilda uses her Gravity Manipulations to dodge large segments before floating upwards. Less than ten seconds later and the entire wall is down. A large, stone arena has been created below as Bathilda floats down to the ground.
What did I tell you? Hmm! Hiro is still in panic mode, even though they avoided any damage whatsoever. His fear is still justified, however, as monsters have replace the stone wall with one made of fur and flesh. No longer fighting each other, they have banded together to assault the unreachable area.
"I don't see the problem, Hiro? I needed to level up anyway. I wasn't going to hit-up my first city in a child's body afterall." Bathilda slams her knuckles together, fully intending to kick ass and level up her skills on the way.

Transposition
Please note: the Sexual Content tag is there due to a single brief plot-relevant scene, which has a warning at the beginning. For other details, read the full description below. Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 5 x 5*, 2 x 4.5*, 1 x 0.5* During a blackout, a frail and ragged old woman stops to ask for a glass of water from a backyard barbecue party. Given a good supper instead, she looks around the group, and tells them, "Be who and what you truly are." Days later, seven of the people from the barbecue find themselves drawn into a trap laid by a pair of wizards and their accomplices, who kidnap them into a bubble reality. All seven, who have known each other all their lives, are informed that they are not in fact entirely human: they have active fae blood, due to a series of conditions culminating with the blessing of the elderly fae woman. The transformation into fae form comes as a shock: all seven, whether originally female or male, find themselves now unreasonably beautiful women. More urgent even than that, though, is their captivity. Getting back to the real world is a higher priority than this metamorphosis that rapidly begins to feel natural... but this is only the first step, as the diverse types of fae blood they carry begin to surface. With no resources except themselves, how can they escape this prison? If they succeed, how can they possibly reclaim their lives? Just how many other faelings have been kidnapped, anyway, and what happened to them? And is there a way to make sure that their captors never put anyone else through this? Back in the real world, Kayla, who learned long ago to trust her gut instincts, is absolutely certain that something is very wrong. The pattern in the list of missing friends is easy to spot, but makes no sense at all. Then a young woman turns up at the backyard gate who knows more than she should, and even though her explanation makes even less sense, every instinct tells Kayla that Riley is her only way to get them back. If they're not quite what they were, well, that's a bridge to cross later... Just a little note: I'm a big believer in endings that are upbeat but not candy-coated, and not a fan of grim-and-gritty or of glamorized violence. These are adults in a difficult situation. However, no one gets raped, and the physical violence is, all things considered, fairly minimal. There is some harassment, sexual and otherwise, and also some mild restraint and mild verbal abuse. Complicating factors are generally wizardly or fae in nature. If I need to warn you about gender in this being all over the map, some of it reality-based rather than fantasy-based, highly diverse sexuality, or that there is (especially later) some indirect fetish/BDSM imagery and honest character discussion, then you probably should just avoid everything I write. :-) Also available on Scribble Hub.

Deep sickness festering within in him. Given a second chance by either coincidence or something more sinister, follow the story of he who bleeds black. Betrayal, greed and blood littered in droves across this hellbound path. ********** 2000+ words daily for now, will reduce to thrice a week after the writathon. If it wasn't clear, this is a vampire story taking place in a high fantasy environment. Although while its main character is a vampire and that is one main focus of the story it will also lend itself to the magic side of this world as well. Basically, if you're interested in vampires or magic heavy stories, this will have something for you... probably. The synopsis is kinda vague but If you give it a shot, I think you'll like it. Also, feel free to drop any sort of constructive criticism since this is one of my first experiences writing in first person.Forgot to add that the story will be a little less action-orientated until around chapter 20+ when... well... read and see :) Any chapters with the * next to them have been edited or tweaked. I'll remove it once all of them are.
