《I Was Reincarnated as Someone's Mana??》Chapter Eight: Lost in the Woods

…
I don’t know where I am…
Hell, I can’t even remember which way I came from!
Allan…
You poor, poor child.
I gently picked him up in my non-material arms, and chose a direction at random.
North(?) it is.
…
…..
………
“Guu?...”
Shhh, don’t worry Allan, we’ve only been wandering around the impenetrable darkness for an hour or so, I’m sure we can get back home soon.
“Gu.”
His little blue eyes moved left and right, peering into the black night.
“Gu?!”
Ssshshshhshhhhh…!!
I know it’s super spooky and dark and cold but don’t worry I’ll keep you warm and cozy for as long as I can Ally!
“Gu…”
D-, don’t look at me like that!
I didn’t do this!
A-, anyhow! We must almost be the-,
*Shuffle*
Hii!!
I clutched onto Allan, who didn’t make a sound in response to the rustling of the bushes.
“Chihiihihi…”
Wh-, what was that?...
Are-, are those eyes…?
From within the bushes, a thousand little red eyes peeked out.
At me.
And Allan.
Oh fuck.
“CHIHIHEIEHEIHEIEHIEHEIHEIEHI”
“CHIHEIEHIEHEIEHIEHIEHEIHEIHEIHEHEIHEIEH”
“CHIHEIHIEHIEH”
“CHIHIEHIEHEIHEIEHIHEIEHE”
Oh god oh fuck that’s a lot.
You remember that rat-thing I killed earlier?
There’s a bunch of them.
Like, fifty.
At least.
Can they turn off their glow or something?...
I have no idea, but…
I need to protect Allan.
This is going to be-,
“Chie!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Ouch fuck!
One of the rats fucking bit me!
I’m… not going to die here, right?
This kids life hangs on me!
We’re not going down like this!!
But, then, ho-,
“Chieheie!!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Argh!
Alright, fuck, uh, this is going to hurt even more, but…
Arg-,
- Due to transmutation into plasma, you will now lose 1 mana per second. You have a total of 21/40 mana. -
Come here you piece of fucking shit I’ll burn you alive
“Chie…”
Ah! Don’t retreat on me! Come on man!

It’s just fire!
Lunging at the little hairball, I pressed my one burning finger into its fluffy little belly, which immediately caught on fire.
Ooo, nice and hot.
“CHIEEEEEEEEEEEE-”
The little piece of furry shit ran in circles for a second before runnings away into the darkness, most likely never to be seen again.
The rest of the rats stared at me blankly.
Come on, I got plenty of mana to burn…!!
“.......”
- You have gained 6 mana and 4 exp for defeating a Will ‘o Wisp. -
Niceeeee, now fucking get over here
“Ch-, CHIEEEEEE!!”
A rat lunged at me, shrieking like hell all the while.
Yeah, just come and get i-,
“Guu?...”
OH FUCK ALLAN
Using my burning left hand, which wasn’t clutching Allan, I attempted to grab the rat from the air.
It must have been an acrobat of sort, since it twisted in the air, clutching onto my arm instead of being caught in my burning hand.
“Chiehiehie!”
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Fuck!
This is gonna hurt, but fuck it, I gotta set fire to my arm!
I could probably get entirely intangible so they would go through me, but then they would probably attack Allen, which is just wo-,
- You have lost 1 mana. -
Ow fuck okay!
My entire arm burst into flames, causing the little shit to screetch loudly before falling to the ground in agony.
- You are now losing 5 mana per second due to the size. -
Fuck shit put it out!
- You are now losing 1 mana per second. You have 12/40 mana left. -
FuuuuUUUUCk
“CHIIEeeeeee-...”
- You have gained 6 mana from defeating a Will ‘o wisp. -
Alright! Fuck! Get over here!!
Can I?...
If they won’t come to me, can’t I just…
Extend my burning finger to them??
Hehe.
Hehehehehe.
HEHHEHEHEHEHHEHEH
FUCKING DIIIEEEEEEEEE
“Ch-, CHIEEEEEEE-,”
“Chi-chi-CHIEEEE”
“CHIIIEEEE OWWW FUCKKK CHIEEEEEEEEEE”

HAHHAHAHAHAHA-, wait.
Where did they go?
Look to the left, nothing.
Look to the right, nothing.
Eh?...
GAH-,
- You have received magical damage from the Light Strike(lv.2) spell. You have lost 6 mana. -
Whaaaaatttt???
I spin around to where the blast came from.
Is-, is that?...
A tiny pyramid of rats.
Ten rats stood on eachother, their individual manas forming into one.
The one at the very top was standing on its hind legs, arms in the air, tail and glowing ball high above its head.
M-, mage?!
“Chiechierrma chierraroro chieie chiorma…”
The mage mumbled some spell(maye??), making the eyes of the other rats light up, and say:
“”“Chieronomo!!”””
All in unison, as light started gathering in the glowing ball.
Th-, this is?!?
The light shot out in a beam, and if I hadn’t already been shielding me and Allan, it would definitely have hit me.
- You have received magical damage from the Light Strike(lv.2) spell. You have lost 4 mana. -
Ow fuck!!
Shit!
Take my flaming vengeance, heRATic!!
“Chie!?”
Flame spilled out of my hand, knocking the tower of Ratylon right on over, and as the flaming construction crumbled in flames, the mage looked up at me, stating:
“Chie, chiehie, chiehie chi. Chie!”
Ch-, chie.
I see.
- You have gained 32 mana and 12 exp from defeating 9 Will ‘o whispers. -
- You have gained 17 mana and 6 exp from defeating Willy. You now have 40/40 mana and 39/40 exp. -
...Willy…
You were a great foe.
“Chie…”
Chiehie…”
I could hear squeaks all around me.
From every bush and every tree and every little corner between the roots of trees, a squeak could he heard and a pair of read eyes gleamed.
“Chiechiechiechiechiehciechiehciechiechiechiechiehciechiechiehciehicceichiehchichichcehecicehcheichiccihceichichichichcihichcihcihcihcichecihceichechicehehciehcihehhceechcihi….”
…
That is… extremely worrying.
“CHIEEEEEEEE”
One rat squealed loudly, lunging at me from the top of a tree.
Aha! Time to bu-,
Oh
Fuck
All the rats just lounged.
At least twenty or thirty of them.
I didn’t even had time to thing before I cradled Allan in my arms, and set my whole body ablaze in a glorious, single blast of magical fire and fury. I couldn’t even hear the dying shrieks of the endless charred rats before I had used up all my mana and the world went dark.
As I hoped to god Allan survived, I heard messages popping up in the back of my head.

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.

The Legend of Rayola the Deathless [Dead]
[This story is Discontinued] Another story based on the lore, which has been expanded and with far more details and hopefully better writing shall be released later on. After about the tenth time she died, Rayola started to think, that maybe she didn't come out quite right, even by supernatural standards. Of course, the pale white skin and hair, plus the blazing orange eyes might have been a clue and it was getting harder and harder to blend in. To top it all off, she has no memory of who she is and there's an incredibly suspiscious, snarky voice in her head making quips about her life choices. Even worse was the inability to sleep. At first, she thought that maybe she was just an overly messed up zombie or even a vampire! But she was proven wrong time and time agian... there were too many inconsistencies and it made her uneasy. The final straw was the issue with her own identity. At first she was okay with being her own brand-new person, but as more and more ghosts of her past started to slowly catch up, she had no choice but to set off on a journey... A journey to discover who she once was, and to find out what had happened to her. It was for no noble cause but merely one for personal salvation. Yet, her actions left behind a legend in her wake.

MCU Oneshots and Novellas
My back catalogue of shorter MCU fanfiction. Most are focused on Loki, Thor and Odin, but the other Avengers also show up on occasion. 1. Shadows of the Past Yet Loom:Thor thought he had grown out of his childhood stutter long ago, but to his distress, the speech impediment resurfaces shortly after he's crowned as king of Asgard. Loki tries to cheer Thor up. [set between Ragnarok and Infinity War] 2. Another Sleepless Night Thor has brought Loki back to Asgard and Odin has pronounced his sentence – Loki is to spend the rest of his days in the dungeons. That was supposed to be the end of the matter, yet sleep continues to elude Odin. One night, he makes a covert trip down to Loki’s cell. 3. Truths, Lies and Bilgesnipes There are children you can leave unsupervised for an afternoon without courting danger. To Odin's consternation, the two young princes of Asgard are not that kind of children. With Frigga absent and Odin distracted with the minutia of government, Thor and Loki sneak out of the palace on a bilgesnipe hunt. Their short adventure leaves Loki badly injured. But the physical injury is not as potent a force as the secrets Odin is determined to protect or Loki’s desperate need to live up to his father’s expectations. 4. Dear Mr. Thanos The trouble with the universe is that it doesn't want to be balanced. In fact, it requires regular pruning. In the year 2327 the Infinity War is a distant memory and Ariadne Thornton has some questions for the dark spectre that has haunted the universe for the past three hundred years. [post Infinity War, not Endgame compliant] 5. Not A Place But A People For a time, dreams of peace and safety can sustain a people lost in the wilderness. But soon the reality of the situation sinks in – a ship not provisioned for the number of people on board, a culture on the verge of extinction and a shadow spreading further with every passing day. [post Thor: Ragnarok, not Infinity War compliant]
