《Descent of the Arcane》Chapter 15: Lanuae Vampire
Advertisement
On the way to the chaos crystal Caleb received a notification stating that Valikra had accepted becoming his general. While Caleb considered saying something he was aware enough to realize that she needed a moment. Before he could move on from the thought though he received a warning from his bloodline, it wasn't in words but the meaning was abundantly clear. Should he ever be weaker than one of his generals he would lose his sovereign bloodline and it would become just an abyssal bloodline. This shocked Caleb as he didn't even know this was possible. He also had no clue as to what the change in bloodline would do to him, if anything, though he decidedly wanted to avoid finding out. Caleb began thinking about how he could avoid losing the sovereign in his bloodline managing to come up with 3 answers; 1.) Kill all my generals who started getting to powerful, 2.) Only give the position to someone weak or untalented, 3.) Advance in strength fast enough that there was never a chance to be surpassed.
Caleb discarded the first option instantly as he refused to kill people unless they threatened him or his family/friends. The second option mhe discarded as it seemed like a way to shoot himself in the foot, besides it also reeked of cowardice. The third option though seemed to resonate with his personality. With a feral grin he thought, "This plan will just give me even more motivation to get stronger."
By this point Caleb and Valikra had reached the chaos crystal. Caleb walked up to the crystal placing his hand on one of its faceted sides. Caleb shivered touching it, the crystal felt like cold water yet also the warm back of a dog, then it felt like the solid crystal it always looked like before the way it felt change again. Tyr had explained that this was because of its chaotic nature and the only reason it didn't disappear or explode was do to the runes on the runic stand holding it there in a solid form. With a shake of his head Caleb accessed the crystal.
CHAOS CRYSTAL
SYSTEM STORE GALACTIC TELEPORTATION CLASS PROFESSION RACE EVOLUTION RACIAL CHANGE
The screen looked the same as it had the last time Caleb had accessed a crystal except that the race evolution tab and racial change tab were no longer marked out. Most items in the store were marked out but there was a refining search section so you could narrow it down to what they were allowed to buy if they had the credits and a slider to mark the most expensive item shown were. But this time Caleb wasn't here to buy or sell, nor to gain intel on what could become available later. This trip was to make himself stronger, to evolve and grow. So without hesitation or looking around Caleb selected the tab for racial change, disappearing in a flash of light.

Each races lifespan will increase by 10 million years if they can reach C-rank, every rank after will add another 10 million. Gods are True Immortals
WHO WILL YOU BE?
You have reached your first CHOICE! You must choose what and who you will be. A CHOICE once made cannot be undone so choose with caution. Each CHOICE offers both benefits and dangers.
HUMAN: Humans are one of the most prolific yet shortest lived races in the multiverse while also being one of the most diverse. While considered a naturally weak race they are still one of the most lethal races in the multiverse. Extremely balanced and able to walk many roads on their Path to power. Humans have zero racial allies or racial enemies. +1 to all stats. +10 free points +15% XP. Lifespan: 150 years

Lifespan: 2,500 years GIANTS: Giants look almost identical to humans and it is believed by mana that the original humans were sickly giants though none can confirm this rumor. Giants are one of the strongest warrior races in the multiverse. Giants are amazing smiths and in the multiverse as a whole are one of the 4 best smithing races. Racial enemies of the nadeen and the gorgons.

Every high elf is born with a large magical talent having at least one high affinity in on of these elements:life, light, earth, water, and nature.

Racial allies with the dwarves, grey dwarves, and Altior kobolds. Racial enemies with the galkairn, lionkin, wraiths.+4 STR +5 AGI, + 8 INT, +8 WIS, +3 free points, -5% EXP.

Vampires create servants that are considered by them as fake vampires often called dhampires and can be made of any living race that has blood. Many believe that vampires are immortal and can be killed by sunlight, these beliefs are wrong, dhampires are immortal and will turn to ash if they go into sunlight true vampire are neither immortal or weak to sunlight. Vampires are naturally fast, and strong with both their STR & AGI stat being 1.5 times as powerful.

Caleb was in a black void with elemental particles floating around him. Looking at the system panel in front of him Caleb saw that there were more races mentioned than he had believed there would be, yet the other races were marked out. He also found out that his prior information wasn't completely correct so updated his Journal on the races available. He considered adding the other races but sense all it gave was a name he decided against it. After rereading the information on the races Caleb selected vampire. All of a sudden the elemental particles rushed into Caleb and he exploded into a mist, Instead of pain as one might expect all he felt was pleasure like sinking into a hot tub after a long day at work mixed with snuggling up under warm covers on a cold morning. A period of time passed and Caleb's body and soul reformed though he looked somewhat different being a little over 7 feet tall and significantly more buff than before though not ridiculously so. Caleb's hair had turned red as well as his eyes, his ears had become pointed though stayed the same size. Caleb could also feel that he had two extra fangs in his mouth but that they were currently withdrawn.

8 167The Lost One
A stranger in a dark cloak creeped into the room of a small Elven child on one fateful day. Wyrran was playing with his sister one second, but the next he was gone. Stolen from the middle of their estate, and never to be seen again in Elven country. Years go by, hundreds of years, and Wyrran has grown into a man. His name has been changed to William, though his Master was put under the instruction to make sure he lost his memory from before the ago of 80, and from what Wyrran knew he had always been William. After he has completed his training and he finished many various tasks William is sent on a job for the King of Trace. It was a confidential assignment, which was new to William in the first place, but never would he imagine that this one job just may be his last. ********************************************* Hey everyone! Author here (: This is my first time posting any of my works online, and I hope that you enjoy being welcomed into my world, as much as I enjoy creating it for you! I welcome any and all criticism, so long as it is actually something that can benefit my writing (not just random hating and nothing substantial). This story is edited by Nesryn and ArtemisArrow, my dear friends! The cover of this book is not my property, and if you are the actual owner of the image and would like me to take it down please PM me (: I am posting this to see if it generates any interest. If it does, then I will be planning on making more regular posts for chapters. I am intending this to be one book of a series, titled The Lost Royal. I intend to post, at this point, one chapter a week unless I get onto a roll! If this starts to accrue enough interest where I can start focusing solely on writing then more chapters will be released per week. Thanks for your interest, and I hope you enjoy!
8 65The Point Legacy
PLANET EARTH in the year 2020,The ground shakes with a heaven sundering roar, a massive figure is seen in the vast skies above, the figure both stationary but omnipresent. A voice thunders, like the massive roar of the inimitable tide, "You have been selected to represent me in 'The Games'." It sounds almost displeased when it utters the word "selected". "Brace yourself and say goodbye to the little attachment you have to your planet, for never will you see it again, unless...." Then the lights went out on a planetary scale.--------------------------------------------------Each human of every race awakens a new form of levelling, a Point Cloud (search online for the same for a visual impact), each dot in a Point Cloud, known as a Bio Point, can be 'opened' with energy and in doing so will help the person gain more strength. Hope y'all like it.
8 85An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
8 96Fateless: The Silver Lining
It has been ten years of peace for the Union since the end of the great war with the eastern barbarian tribes, yet in the cold north of the Union's land, a new threat is looming. This time, an ambitious Lord is seeking to restore the yore pride of his kin, forcing the weakened Union into yet another unwanted war, as he ramps up the ranks of his army with thieves, murderers and mercenaries.* * *The temperature inside the forge was nearly twice as high as the one outside. A black-haired girl hammered a steel ingot into the shape of a blade. The heat of the steam was draining her stamina away, but her focus remained sharp as her sweat streamed down her face. Hit after hit, for hours, the sound of the hammering steel followed the rhythm of her breathing. Exhausted, she placed the blade into the water and wiped the sweat off her face using a drenched rag. Why are they screaming? Vatra dipped the rag back in the water, twisted it, and approached the window. Her mouth opened as her world shattered again into the living nightmare she had wilfully tried to forget. She bit her lips; it wasn’t a dream. The pulse of her heart rose. A cold sweat prickled her back. A mother was running, and a child was screaming. A torrent of smoke was emerging from the roof of her neighbour. Vatra’s eyes blinked. The mother lay on the ground, a spear through her back. A torch circled in the air and landed on the roof of her workshop. In the distance, a man wearing a banner well known to the world… Fateless is a philosophical medieval dark low fantasy centered on war, militaristic campaigns and geopolitical conflicts between multiple empires. This story follows the fate of Vatra, a former slave from the eastern Nar Empire who was raised in a culture far away from her own, forced into warfare against her will, and the fate of Lanaya, an ambitious half-angel exiled from her home whose existence is seen as heresy. As they wished for peace, both chose a path opposed to one another until their fate crossed. In this story where war dictates the law, love strikes them as a poisoned balm to which they grasp for with all their might, as it is in the darkest of times that the smallest flames may burn the brightest. * * * Tome 1 already completed and available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/Fateless-Silver-Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot/dp/B09LGSH1KK Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hugo-Emmanuel-Simard-Wallot-100547579135891/ I will publish 1 chapter per week (sometimes 2 if the chapters are too short for my liking).
