《Chaos Wave》Volume 1 - Chapter 11 - Cthulu in Your Cup
Advertisement
I ignored everything as I followed my minimap to the location where the sacrifice is going to be held. The time remaining is under an hour when I make it there, but I manage to arrive, where eight Mindflayer Priests are chanting as they draw the memories and emotions from the minds of the drow, dwarves, gnomes, and animals they have captured, with five minutes left on the count down. I cut down the priests, but the countdown immediately goes to all zero as the last priest fell. The cauldron on the altar bubbled and boiled over, rocked, tilted, and spilled out the fluids onto the cavern floor.
Congratulations!
You have saved the bodies of the prisoners! Can you save their minds?
Defeat the Mighty One!
As I was reading the prompt that appeared, the puddle of liquid rose into the air, and formed a ring eighty feet in diameter. “Oh fuck... This is going to hurt!”
Out of the ring, an enormous Mindflayer, emerges. This giant must have been at least seventy feet tall, with a seventy-five foot tall staff! How the hell was I supposed to fight something this big? As I was staring at it, it moved with insane speed and hit me with the butt of its staff, sending me flying and crashing into the wall of this enormous cavern, the stone cracking around me. I swore as I noticed all my defensive buffs had been broken with that single hit, and I even lost ten percent of my heath on top of it!
“Okay, you just made it personal. I’m sorry, but now you will have to die. I can no longer forgive your trespass and assault. I hope you are prepared to die, for I shall take no pity on you!”
My speech only caused the damn thing to laugh at me! Seriously!? “PUNY MORTAL! YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE A GOD!”
“You are but a minor god of madness! Do you really think you can kill a Godling born of Luck of Death!?” As I was taunting him, I was also watching my buffs spin up on my bar, restoring themselves. During the time we had been working on mining the damned wall in the goblin tunnel, I had figured out how to set up a macro to restore my buffs, either for when they expire naturally or when I receive damage enough to break through them. I showed him my scythe. “I shall bathe my Primordial Fire in your blood!”
He moved towards me, and I did indeed find out that the old statement of ‘the bigger they are, the harder they fall’ was very true. I could barely scratch his skin with the blade of the scythe. I swore and donated all my donatable points into the Guild Pool, skyrocketing my Karma Points up. I spent a hundred to coat the blade and this time, it cut instead of scraping! I backhanded his incoming staff blow, sending him off balance thanks to the huge boost in strength from my bottomless bag of holding and Executioner status.
I attacked where I thought he was, but my blade went straight through his skin and he vanished like a puff of smoke! Damn it, of course, he’s a Mindflayer type. I can’t rely on my normal senses... I pulled up the Cash Shop, and quickly purchased scrolls of ‘Mind Guard’, ‘Regeneration’, and ‘Sense: Killing Intent’. As soon as they materialized, I activated them, making them crumble into dust.

With these three skills, I should have evened the fight between this giant monster and myself. I opened my eyes, and found his staff coming down at me from an overhand chop, making me put my full speed to jumping out of the way of the five-foot thick staff! The rock receives a huge crack where he hits, and I roll to absorb the shockwave. I immediately countered with a pair of Deathbolts at him, and check his Analyze Status.
Ali’ia’oi’ack’rhu’gha
Minor Cthulu
Level 400 - Grade 7
Health 6,800,000 / 7,000,000
This minor deity of insanity has been summoned through the failure of the Mindflayer Priests to finish their ritual with the sacrifice of the Prisoners. If they had succeeded, you would have faced a Greater Madness God.
I blinked in shock, and shook my head. At least I had proven I can damage him. If it can be damaged, it can be killed! A cold smile came to my face. “Not looking so good there, Ali! At this rate, I’ll kill you before you can even break my spell barriers again!”
Of course, as I taunted him, I had begun circling around him. I ordered my undead rats from the mines to attack him. Of course, I knew the rats were only going to be a minor hindrance, but I was hoping to use them to build up a greater Primordial Flame attack. In fact, it worked. I managed to charge and condense five thousand MP worth of Primordial Flame into a tiny ball, which I launched at his face.
The staff came down, and crushed a rat, just barely missing the tennis ball sized orb of green fire, which kept on track, and slammed into his eye, making him screech as it then exploded, taking off half of his tentacles, coating his entire face in green fire, and burning the left side of his face completely to the bone. The fires continuing to burn as he roared and thrashed around in obvious pain, killing the remnants of my zombie rats in his thrashing.

“Oh fuck...” I muttered as I barely managed to dodge a lance made of psychic energy, and then had to dodge around it again. I ran over to his body, where he is laying on the ground, panting, trying to regenerate the damage that happened. I dodge, and he cries in pain as his Psychic Spear slams into the side of his own skull, which I had been running towards. Thankfully, I was immune to his direct mind attacks thanks to the Mind Guard skill I had bought.
As I charged forward, a large group of mindflayers from their nearby city all came over in lock-step, making me sweat as I realized that the monster I was fighting was going to feed on them to refuel his regeneration! I dodged another Psychic Spear and leaped up onto the skull portion of the boss. I dove through the empty eye socket, and landed on the brain, screaming as I swung wildly with my scythe.

I had not fully considered what I was doing when I jumped on a BRAIN of a madness demon... The Brain grew tentacles and attacked me! Meanwhile, the boss started to regenerate all the damage I was doing thanks to absorbing the mindflayers whom he had summoned with his Mind Control ability. The boss started to stand up and walk towards the city, intent on restoring himself to full health, and I managed to snag a part of the skull so I wasn’t just sliding around inside him.
I watched my MP ticking upward towards maximum. If there was going to be any way out of this situation, it would need to be done soon, especially if I wanted to spare the mindflayers in the city whom might be interested in peace. The likelihood of peace was small, considering they were the ones who summoned this beast of a divine class monster, but did that really mean he should let this monster kill them?
He took another look at the warehouse sized brain, and his scythe. “I’ll have to use multiple Death Spirals in order to try to cut through this thing...” I tried to cut through the brain with my scythe and blinked in shock as it dented in and sprung back, pushing my scythe back. “Shit, that thing’s resilient.”
I dodged a tentacle that was attacking towards me from the brain! “Fuck! The brain has its own tentacles!?” I dodged around the wild strikes as I attacked the brain again. I grunted as one wrapped around me. I resulted to a Deathbolt to sever the tentacle, which made a huge shriek echo from the boss I was inside, and deafened me for a full minute! I sighed weakly as I started to channel my power into the attack I was building up, pulling in my MP, TP, and even the special Karma Points, knowing Karmic damage was my best shot at damaging this creature.
“KARMIC SPIRAL!” I swung the scythe in a large spiral as I watched waves of flickering black and white waves come off my scythe, bouncing off the inside of the skull, and slicing cleanly into the grey matter in front of him. The roar of pain from the Minor Cthulu renewed my deafened status, as well as inflicted some actual physical damage upon me, but not very much.
Ali’is’oi’ack’rhu’gha fell to its knees, and started draining all the minds within the mindflayer city to try to restore its own health and power. I looked at my current KP, and sighed weakly. “Well, at least its being used for a good cause...” I drained all of my KP and channeled it through a Deathbolt directly at the center of the brain. “KARMA BURST!”
The light of the bolt was so vast, I ended up receiving the ‘Blind’ debuff for a full 2 minutes! Meanwhile, I could feel the world tilt, drop, and bounce as the skull cracked into the ground. When my sight returned, I pushed my way through the brain, and found that it had burned the brain away from a large, glowing golden energy core. I inspected it.

“Okay, so now to find a way out of this damned squid,” I muttered as I looked around. “Probably the nose or mouth would be the best, unless I can find the ear...”

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

Descendants of Cosmia
Reefa, Wellor, Rozo and Auri are four teenagers trying to get through life living in a village surrounded by the barren sands of the Hariq Desert; a village isolated from the walls of the 9 Monarchs of Cosmia. The world that lies beyond the walls involves the social segregation between humans and Haaras. Haaras are people with the ability to control elements of water, air and earth, whilst humans cannot obtain this power at all. Reefa had always thought of herself to be a human with no type of elemental wielding. However, after many reoccurences throughout her childhood in which she hears the voices of people that speak in the future, she has doubts about who she really is inside. The same phenomenon happens when she is 15 years-old, but this time the voices she hears alerts her of a future attack that will happen to the people of her village. When the time had come, Reefa and her friends escape their predicament and travel to the east towards the land of dragons known as Tetranazia. Bearing in mind the last words her aunt told her with a heavy heart, she must protect her friends from the dangers ahead and venture into the walls to search for the answers of the attack. This is an original English light novel (OELN). There will be several visuals of characters and world-building as you read this novel. The story's genre is mainly Shonen-influenced Josei and Fantasy. Do note that the story is slow-paced in development, so it might not be to your liking. I'll be updating 2 new chapters every month on the 25th (SGT).(I'm doing it monthly because I have to consider the pile of college workload I have (;_;) and I'll need extra time on drawing the illustrations) Occasionally, I'll do Bonus Releases, where I release more than 2 chapter in the next monthly update Feel free to give me feedback on my story. I will very much appreciate it! (ノ´∀`) I created this story on Scribble Hub, so you can also check it out over at their platform.
