《Fly in Fantasy》The mother and her eggs.
Advertisement
The mother was one of the more stupid flies. Flies were pretty dumb to begin with, but her intelligence remained in the single digits. It was just enough to stare at the corpse of a dragon. Just enough to notice all the other fly mothers staying at safe distance.Just enough to see the remains of charred skeletons resting against the cave's wall.
But not intelligent enough to comprehend what inbued magic is.
The fly remembered how the dragon roared as he fought against the four crimsonhaired adventurers. One of them got singed, and in a flurry of attacks, the adventurers beat the dragon.Their pockets were full from all the treasures the dragon hoarded inside the cave. Too full to carry the dragon with them.
She snorted. 'The adventurers are dumb. I could take it on a dragon anytime. It's just too much of a bother. But... since they left me the corpse, I won't mind.'
The fly mother sat on top of the dragon's chest. A huge wound flared up, his quietus. Gingerly the fly neared the wound with small jumps. 'Oh, this corpse is quite big', she thought, still not knowing a thing about imbued magic.
She remained silent for a moment, then laid out a whopping 75 eggs. She had no more sperm inside her. She needs more sperm, but the other males rejected her.
After laying her eggs, she took a quick peek at her Status screen.

Her luck was insanely high. Probably to compensate for something, she thought
You gained +1 WIS, +2 INT
She couldn't read per se, but she still had the feeling someone was mocking her. She turned around. The other flies were still there, waiting for her.

She felt relieved. They still treated her as family. Maybe someone could give her some sperms?
With newfound intelligence, she noticed she was hungry, and did what any hungry fly would when near a corpse. She nibbled at one of the dragon scales. The wound was full of her eggs, so she couldn't taste the flesh.
What she didn't know was, that most of the dragon's energy is stored inside their scales. So when she nibbled on it...
You have been Burned (300).
Because of her meager health and CON, she instantly died to the burn. She turned around one last time. They flew away, one by one. She glanced at her eggs. 'At least they would survive.' She thought.
And for once she was right.

Path of Salt
After running off with his best friend to fight as Mercenaries, Tobias found out that he wasn't built for battle. Swiftly defeated but not dead, he could only lay down on the grass, and watch as Marcus fought off their enemies almost singlehandedly. Both of them survived that battlefield, and they both decided to return back to their Village. Tobias' ideals and expectations were shattered by the reality of War, so he decided to settle down instead. On the other hand, something awakened within Marcus. He woke up one day, only to be greeted by a floating panel of light. [Name: ... Marcus][Race: ... Human][Class: ... ... ...] [Hero] [Welcome to the System] What is a village-born Hero to do, but answer his calling? Current schedule: No chapters for the next few months. I'm still writing the entirety of Volume 2. WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter

Transcendence?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur) ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Transcendence? is a novel about reincarnation, love, hate and war. And everything else that's included. It follows the main characters, as they climb to the top of their society. And lose their humanity in the process to become something beyond human. It's settled in the same universe as Until death?. It can be seen as a prequel. But I plan for it to be a stand alone book. Nobody has to read Until death? in order to enjoy Transcendence?. There will be cool chapters, sad chapters, romantic chapters and funny chapters. Of course there will be boring chapters too. I believe that some explanation is necessary in every novel. Though I hope that there will be more funny chapters. How a chapter turns out always depends on my mood.
