《Fly in Fantasy》Eggscelent hatching
Advertisement
There were two heaps of eggs on the dragon's corpse. The heat already turned the eggs on the bottom into ash.
Slowly cracks appeared on the eggs surface.
Inside the egg was a small larvae biting through the soft shell of the egg.
The larvae had the shape of a small worm, its exterior shell glowed in a pale-white shimmer.
His front end had small mouth hooks - not big enough to bite its way through the shell.
On the rear end small bulges formed. Those small bulges will soon turn into spiracles, through which it breathes through. There are also smaller, less obvious bulges on the front, but clearly they haven't grown yet.
On the side small salvina glands started to grow, but the larvae simply didn't grow enough yet.
Hours passed. The front hooks were now big enough to break the egg's shell. The fly cracked the shell open and wriggled itself out thanks to his salvina glands. Having only a small instine in your body helped. Once the rear was out, the fly inhaled the air. The air outside smelled so fiendish, so foreign, compared to the cozy egg.

The larvae didn't know what to make out of those windows. To be honest, it probably didn't care. The streaks on a window don't interest him.
Its belly rumbled, and his instincs overtook him. He fulfilled the wishes of his body, and ate his egg's shell. It had no eyes, just a pair of hooks in the front, ready to eat. He couldn't see the massive corpse on the ground, waiting for the larvae to devour it.
He was still hungry even after he ate the egg, and so he turned downwards, where the corpses of the fly's babies lay. It didn't know the concept of cannibalism or any other ethical issue. The fly just ate to satisfy his stomach.
It placed its hooks against one of the eggs, trying to break through. The shell was hot, and he burnt himself.

This time the heat didn't hurt him as much as before. He tasted the flesh, and it felt great. He was so excited, and immediately turned his hooks towards the other food sources - his other brothers and sisters.

Ortus (Old Version)
This is an old version of the heavily edited and rewritten Ortus This is the story of a woman named Riza. Riza is a woman who wakes up in a forest with nothing, remembering nothing, and on the cusp of death. The only thing she has is a weapon stuck in her side and, after a tangle with a wild boar, something called 'life aspect'. Little does she know that life magic is considered a dead-end branch and is largely outlawed across the world. None of this matters to her, of course. For one, even if someone tried to tell her, she doesn't know the language. Number two, have you heard about the sunk cost fallacy? Riza is not some chosen one, nor is given any boon she doesn't deserve. Instead, she's smart and methodical, and experiements on how to maximise every opportunity, every ability, presented to her. She doesn't just take things at face-value but instead explores just what limitations there are. This often involves maths.

I decided to go back and rewrite and add several chunks to the first half of the story before starting the school arc. :) Update: Chapters 1-4 are edited. There will be an additional arc added later.... Not quite sure how that's going to work out with what's already there but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I'll get revenge on my own terms! After experiencing near-death from the plague, Lucina Maelle remembers her previous life as a teenage girl with a heart condition. That girl's favorite video game? Dragon Fantasy XXIV. And who is the wicked villainess from that game, who suffers a horrific death at the hands of the hero? She is! With that knowledge in mind, the solution is simple-- just don't become a villainess.
