hm. hmmmmm.
Quite a few new things, eh?
Well, for one thing, must of my abilities have grown exponentally. Which is very nice.
I’ve akso got a wierd new title, but... I’m pretty sure it’s fine.
There’s also that new personal ability, root control... dunno what it does, but, I’ll be very happy if i can use it like a bunch of arms.
Another new ability is Sweet Scent, the one all those White Sips had.
Hm.
What the hell am i now again?...
- You are a Plant of Venus. -
Yeah, i know, but...
well, whatever. right now, i should explore my-, OH HECC WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BODY OF THE WHITE LILY
- Your body absorbed it while you were unconcious. -
Huh? It can do that?...
- Yes. -
Sure, why not.
well, anywho... time to explore my body!
I began by trying to grasp what i looked like. as i had no eyes this was a very hard task, but, thanks to my now expert sense of touch, i easily groped myself until i was aware of just how i looked.

yup. this is wierd.
the body that petruded from the ground was fairly normal. long leaves that slowly and meekly absorbed light and a long stem shooting up from them. however, at the end of that stem sat something exotic, a head.
well, not in a human sense, but... more in an Audrey II kind of way.
it was basickally made up by two large leaves that, if i tried really hard, could close and open as i pleased. along the sides were teeth-like barbs most likely meant to be used for defence and nutrient gathering. however, i had no idea how i would do such a thing.
underneath the ground was my web of legs. it was far smaller then id wish it was, but it was adequate.
however, wahat i most wanted to do was simple. i wanted to use my roots!
or, rather, control them!
hey, Voice? how do i do that?
- As it is not an active Ability, i cannot demonstrate. -
ah. i see how it is. ”train and leadn by yourself, young grasshopper”, eh?
very well! i shall do so!
i began by intensly focusing on my legs. i tried thåo emulate the feeling of growing, however, in a more flexible and not by using energy.
at first, this was a trgically fruitless endevour that led only to sadness and despair. however, as i was a tenacious little twat, i didnt give up!
after my tenth of hundreth try, one of my roots moved! i could feel it.
i felt how one of the roots shiften and moved, however, without using energy.
it was a rather bizzarre feeling. like having a snake tapes to your leg, trying to slither away and strugge to no avail.
however, what i wanted wasnt to move my root about underground. no, i knew what i wanted.

i tried my best at memorizing the feeling of controlling a root, and after many retries, i knew it. like moving a third limb.
turning my attention upwards, i could feel my exitement grow.
hehehehehehe.
the root shot up, well, it was going eather slowly, into the air and penetrated the outermost layer of dirt, finding its freedom in the open air above.
yesssss!
the root happily flew from one side to another in the air, cekebrating by doing a little dance, even.
if i had a mouth, i would smile.
- Root has entered the atmosphere and can thus mutate. what sense would you like? -

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Demon of the Darkest Night
When Mason Nevels is dragged into The Trials, his only priority is finding the means to survive. A single message tells him that he must find the power to ensure humanity's survival before they appear in this isolated plane in several months, and an unknown force equips him with a dangerous artifact capable of making Mason into something more than human: the Staff of Mardun. The Trials are unforgiving. They pit the best and worst of races from across the universe in a magical battle for superiority, ever-fueled by increasingly scarce resources in a land that can transform in the blink of an eye. But for Mason, a single drop of mana is enough to burn his body from within, and the cost of relying on the abilities of the Staff of Mardun may be the very humanity he's tasked to defend. In order to forge the strength and alliances necessary to survive the dangers of the The Trials, Mason must balance a growing need for power with the strength of character to retain his identity. Please Rate this story five stars if you enjoy it! I promise rewards in the form of more content. Welcome to The Trials.
