《Reborn as a Symbiote》Chapter 26
Advertisement
"Buh, isf mah falt sniff, every wahn got hurst sniff" Tears running down on Yao Zi's cheeks.
*Pui* Using a green appendage extension Shimmy patted Yao Zi's head. "Its not your fault that they got hurt. If anything you help saved your family."
"Sniff" Yao Zi still rubbing her eyes with her hands, while having a disbelieving expression on her face. That maybe Shimmy was just trying to coax her while hiding all of the painful things from her. But even when she was stuck sick in bed she could tell that the smile on her mother was always forced.
*Pui Pui* Being able to sense some of the depression due to his experience as a symbiote, Shimmy did not stop his patting. "If you were not sick, your family would not have found me. If you were not sick, the bad people would have come to hurt your family even more with no one to help you." Shimmy felt weird as he was never one to use to helping others from depression. He remember that whenever he'd feel depress, he'd just bottle it all up and vent it later, even his previous situation he'd just fill his hunger to vent like usual. But his host this time was in majority of control, so he thought to try and practice his non-existence speech skill.
"But hey, if you want to make sure no bad people can hurt your family again you need be stronger. Strong enough to stop baddies from bullying your family." Shimmy starting shooting off any words he could think of to distract the little girl, as the longer her emotion keeps getting more extreme he may also be affect by it.
"Sniff, Strong? Stahp baddies?" Crying less Yao Zi's ears perk up a little bit.

*Pui Pu*"Y-yes, I mean yes stop baddies from doing bad things. Something like a superhero who saves people and stop bad people." Seeing a change in reaction in his host, Shimmy quickly grab the chance to shoot out words from his previous life. "Like how a person would dive into a burning house to save a stranger that they never met before."
"Waahhh" Yao Zi eyes start to shimmer as she listen to Shimmy. Soon putting the depressing feeling to the back of her mind while imagining a great senior diving into a blazing inferno to save people."
So time start flying by as Shimmy tell tales of some great men and women who done great selfless act with their meager mortal bodies. Of a man carrying his pregnant wife all the way to a clinic, of a person stopping bad people with their bare hands, and more until Yao Zi soon fell asleep.
Shimmy saw the sleeping Yao princess and lift her up with multiple appendage extension to tuck her into bed.
Shimmy then use tiny extensions of himself to look outside the room for anyone wandering by, he saw that there was not many people wandering around at this time. He proceed to crawl under Yao Zi's bed, using Yao Zi's bed sheets to cover his string connection to the little girl.
'Hah, didn't think trying to cheer up little kids could be this exhausting. I don't remember it being this hard.' Blowing mental bubbles in his mind, Shimmy started to look at his upgrades available due to his regression. 'Symbiote Upgrade list'

Despite the high amount of points he received from slaughtering over two thousand people, Shimmy could only look despondently at the skill list he had available. Some of them were basic skills and passive available to him as a symbiote, while some were gain from him abusing his Divine Source power. Though he wanted to use more Divine Source to unlock more higher tier Symbiote skills, he stop himself as he knew this world was dangerous. First example was facing genocide at first moment notice finding his new host. Shimmy bite down hard in his mental world on a Deiqheyd while listening on squeal for mercy put a smile on his shimmery green face.
'At least I got something to bite down now unlike my first time. Upgrade' Shimmy's green transparent blob started to shimmer slightly and tremble across the jiggly surface.
'FAKFDKLNFLANO, CHOMP, FDNOFNAOFN, CHOMP!' Shimmy's soul was being prick, tickle, stretch, and bent in all types of location. Filling a non stop shuttering moment that causes his green maw to constantly chatter over Deiqheyd and another handful of Chen clans souls including even the Chen Clan Ancestor Chen Hao.
'CHOMP! Chomp, chomp. sigh, finally over. Always hated that weird giddy feeling, Life Law doesn't even help one bit with it. Although making other suffer with me does help distract my own suffering. Hah. Status check.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?

The Life of an Undercover Conqueror at Specialized High School
2093 ADEarth's natural resources have been depleted. We Humans could survive only just for a few years. We became desperate, we search and search for new resources for us to exploit, but we never found them. Until someone thought of something. "The society of the past even though they had different problems, they must have an answer to their conundrum. Perhaps we can use them too." We continue our research, nights and days have passed, however all of our research only lead to one thing and one thing only the Philosopher's Stone. It could generate energy without having to take any energy. Basically, it broke The Laws of Thermodynamic and Einstein's Law Conservation of Mass Energy, no, all the rule and law that we know of, doesn't apply to the Philosopher's Stone. But how? Where can we found this crimson colored gem? 2094 ADWe the researchers at the Genesis Lab finally found our answer. The Philosopher's Stone is not a Gem or any other precious mineral. It is an Organism, that can replicate itself perpetually. Our greedy minds have already started thinking of various thing especially about 'how can we abuse this poor thing' kind of thought. We can feed them to livestock. Additionally the excrement of those livestock can be used as a fertilizer. Voila! Infinite food and oxygen. But still, we don't know where to find this crimson colored life-form. Spring 2095 ADWE FINALLY DID IT!When we are deciphering some sort of ancient text related to the Mayans, we found out about where it was and how can we obtained it. The method that ancient people used seems to utilize human sacrifice as an offering to Gods. But hey, now we know that Gods exist, and more importantly Their whereabouts. If the ancient people used human sacrifice as the toll to open the portal. Then, we the modern people could simply use some sort of mini-sized black hole with specific coordinate to force this hidden life-form come to this world. Fundamentally, we just needed to mimic the portal that Gods himself open to answer their offering. Allright, let's do this. Summer 2095 ADEverything is progressing as we wanted.Every trivial thing on our side seems to be working in order.We can commence the operation 'Child's Play' early next year.-LB-

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
