Hello, guys , it started raining so I have a little break ...

This chapter might be a little shorter than I planned, but, please enjoy!
Summoning Arc: Blood tells no lies
“Youuu... Dare?!!?!” [Elenair]
She looks angry ... Why is she so angry? It’s a legit question after all...
Her faces distort to the point where she looks like a whale demon from hell. Pointing her left hand at me, she shouts from the depths of her lungs:
“Shred him to pieces!” [Elenair]
‘Ouuuu ... Grrr ... ’
In the next second, all the little fries around me attacks one at a time ... How inefficient ... If they used a joint assault, that maybe they might have been able to put me on the wall, but like this...
“It’s useless!” [Andel]
A big wolf comes swinging its paw at me. I don’t move. Against this kind of strike, I don’t even need to defend.
His paw hits me directly on the back of my head, but no blood can be seen. He seems surprised. I grab his ears with both hands, rotate twice my whole body and let him fly away.
“Good ... Next!” [Andel]
Eh ... They are not coming ... Why?
“You ... You actually got a blessing ...” [Elenair]
It looks like they misunderstood my ability to fight with me getting a blessing when I was summoned ... Well, that doesn't matter tho...
“Kill him!” [Elenair]
‘Uouuu!!!’
This time, they don’t attack me one at a time, but the big bulky ones seem to attack in the front while the little agile ones stay in the back using arrows and spears together with their racial abilities to ‘annoy’ me.
‘Grin’
“Good ... Good ... This is more like it!”[Andel]
This is getting interesting. With a swish, a little bit of my energy is condensed in my right hand in the form of a black sword . It’s simple , about 130 cm long without any decorations whatsoever .
In terms of sharpness and endurance it can be compared with a steel katana , but against this kind of enemy, it is more than enough .

“Don’t die to fast ! Let me enjoy this to the end !” [Andel]
___________________
Mountains of bodies , shredded , cut into pieces , rivers of blood ...
It has already been more than three hours since the beginning of this battle, and there is no end in sight ... It gets a little ...
“Annoying !” [Andel]
I throw my sword covered in blood to an approaching giant . It pierces its head, and the big chunk of meat falls to the ground with a ‘ Thump ‘ .
If I continue like this , it will take me a few days to clean all this mess ... Elenair has not intervened not even once . She just stood there , on her throne , watching the show .
“It’s time to finish this !” [Andel]
“Partial release ... Level 5 !” [Andel]
Four more scales start shining crimson on my Alpha type seal . My power rises exponentially .
“World Alteration Mode Activated !” [Andel]
At that moment everyone that was charging me a second ago stops in place and takes defensive stances .
.....
....
Ten breaths of time later, nothing happens .
They seem confused ... Even Elenair has a blank look on her face .
One black ogre with a heavy club in his hand gives a big ‘Roooar’ and just attacks me .
‘Swish ... ’
From the ground , a big earth spike emerges impaling the ogre on the spot .
Silence ... It looks like they still don’t understand ... How foolish ...
“World Alteration Mode is just a pompous name for an ordinary ability .” [Andel]
I raise my head up and look directly at Elenair. For the first time, she has a serious look on her face . Good !
“Releasing a significant quantity of energy in the surrounding area , merging it with all object around and then manipulating it to move in certain patterns as per my will . “[Andel]
....
“Of course , this kind of ability is not a significant threat to powerful enemies , but against hordes of small fries , it is the best option .” [Andel]
“Furthermore , away from being able to manipulate my energy in the vicinity , I can absorb it as well . ” [Andel]
“Still , I must be careful when absorbing it because , if the absorption speed is too fast , the energy might destroy anything in its path .” [Andel]
They look at me with strange gazes ... In the end, Elenair rises from her chair and points her right hand at me .

“You really take me for a fool ? That is a useless ability ! Anyone could do that with a bit of training . ” [Elenair]
“Yes , yes they could . But controlling it is pretty hard . It took me over two thousand years to master it . ” [Andel]
She looks at me with disdain and answers in a cold voice .
“Hmph ! Two thousand years wasted . Attack together ! When one false , stomp over his dead body . In the end, he will remain without energy . Seize that moment and kill him !” [Elenair]
‘Roooorr ...’
Every single monster in view charges me. But it looks that they did not understand my explanation correctly . This battle is already over .
I raise my right-hand look in the distance past Elenair .
“Shatter !” [Andel]
‘Snap ’
I snap my fingers and all the energy in the surrounding returns to my body . Everything in sight starts turning to dust . The monster that was charging me a second ago is being disintegrated right in front of my eyes . The rocks , trees , blood , water and even the air itself is transformed in the most essential molecules .
This is the real power of World Alteration Mode : Shatter .
If the enemy is strong enough , then he can easily deny my energy from entering his body . But if he is weak , he won’t stand a chance . An ability created for large scale battles .
In a five thousand meters radius the only thing that can be seen is sand .
“I should refrain from using this too often ... Desertification is not a joke !” [Andel]
I mutter those words to myself and look down to a gigantic mountain of fat covered in blood .
“She actually survived ...” [Andel]
It looks like Elenair survived somehow ... Interesting !
I go near her and , releasing the second wave of energy , I prepare to snap my fingers to end her suffering .
“Wait ! You can’t kill me !” [Elenair]
Can’t ? Are you sure Elenair – chan ?
“And why is that ? ” [Andel]
I really want to know what could actually stop me from killing her right now and right here ... Maybe a god ?
“The queen ... All other slaves ... If I die , they die as well .” [Elenair]
I did not see that coming ... There is no problem in me killing her , but if over one hundred innocent elves die because of me , then that would actually leave a bitter taste in my mouth ...
Still ... Is that even possible ? I didn’t sense any kind of magic on Queen – san ...
I get near her and dip my finger in the blood covering her whole body. Then I put the drop of blood on my tongue . Of course , drinking directly from the source would be better ... But I would like to avoid increasing my cholesterol ...
“Damn ... It’s bitter !” [Andel]
Her blood tastes horrible ...
Closing my eyes , I concentrate on that drop of blood and activate an inherited Vampire ability : Blood History .
To put it bluntly , by tasting the blood of a particular person , I am capable of seeing that person’s past .
--------------------------------
‘Tear ’
‘Plosc ’
...
An actual tear streams down my cheek ... It’s been a while since I felt this feeling that is swelling inside me right now .
Anger .
Genuine anger from the bottom of my soul .
“I am no saint . I’ve killed many in my life . But I never enjoyed it . For each innocent soul that I’ve sent to the underworld a drop of blood has been offered as an apology . “[Andel]
The wind start blowing and the sky churns . Storm clouds start appearing seemingly out of nowhere .
“Still you ... You had an amazing family , a good sister, and a protective father . You received everything you desired, but your greed can fill an ocean ! Furthermore the words you said a few seconds ago are all lies . ” [Andel]
The temperature starts rising and dust tornadoes are formed .
“You are just like a snake disguised in human form . ”
Elenair shrieks back trying to get away from me with all her remaining power . Crawling like a dog .
“Killing for fun . Torturing as a hobby . Showing no mercy not even to your family . ” [Andel]
I look directly at her while she is trying to flee . Useless ...
Nine more snake seals appear on my hands and starts glowing with a crimson light .
“I refuse to recognise you as an intelligent creature . ”
“Today , you shall pay for your sins !” [Andel]
--------------
“RELEASE !”[Andel]

8 92Dungeon I/O (⚒ Crafting ⚒)
A young engineer with photographic memory dies after choking on a pretzel. He is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a dungeon core. Having near infinite knowledge from Earth, and infinitesimal common sense, he begins to shape his dungeon into the ultimate factory of resources. Collect all the things! Automate all the systems! Even adventurers can be farmed! And if a few world governments collapse in the process, well, it’s all for the sake of science! This story is like if Factorio was about dungeons, played by someone with ADHD. Warning, lots of numbers and spreadsheets. Arithmophobes beware!
8 143Nighthunter
Reality shifts and Alexa finds herself trapped in a world far more dark and deadly than the one she knows. Her new body is stronger and faster, and she feels a connection to the magic around her, but it may not be enough to protect the scattered remnants of humanity she comes across. ----- A reboot with annotations.
8 95Living With Magic
Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University. Reaching a crossroads, he must decide whether to try and return to a family he despises or make his own path in the world. Is the magical power he has actually beneficial in the real world? Authors Note: I'm terrible at writing a synopsis, but over time I hope to write a better one. One of my favorite series of books is the Magicians by Lev Grossman and I hope to follow that same line of thinking within my story. How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be? The story and characters will be completely original and I will try to update the story on a regular basis. Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
8 114Saint who defies God
