《Blue mage》Chapter 6: First boss
Advertisement
I had hunted some more of those snakes and almost got the skill, [Mana Body(Ancient) 92%], now I was prowling around hunting for more. As I was ‘silently’ walking through the forest at 26 feet tall, I noticed that some of the nearby trees had been crushed, like a very large snake had coiled around the tree and crushed it. Hm, nice this might be the last snake I needed to get the skill. In my haste, I didn’t notice the much larger groves from the snake passing or the fact that the crushed trees were at least twice as thick as the previous ones.
As I started to notice that maybe, just maybe I the snake I was hunting was a little bigger than I was expecting, I heard some slight rustling around 30 feet from me. I turn my head and peer into the brush only to spot a small snake that was coiled up. I frown in confusion, it looked like the snakes I was hunting, only smaller, was it a baby? That was my last thought before it launched itself at me. At first, I thought it was funny, it was barely one foot long. Then it expanded to at least 50 feet long and torpedoed into me.
“Oh fuck.” Like a spring it slammed into me sending my massive form flying like a ragdoll. As I tumbled through the forest, I had a crazy thought that this was going to hurt. I was right as I smash through a couple of trees before finally hitting one that didn’t snap. After standing up I can’t find the stupid snake only for it to coil strike me again. This time I was somewhat ready, taking a deep breath I blast that snake with Breath of the Wyvern(Epic). The beam pushes the snake off course, it slams into a tree shattering it.

The snake quickly shrunk down again and hid. I’m looking around for the snake before it again launches itself at me. I try to repeat the previous feat but the snake shrinks down midway and the blast misses.
‘Oh shit, it’s adapting fast’ I thought as the snake again torpedoed me from behind launching me through the trees again. Picking myself up I start to rethink my strategy. I should probably try can grab the snake in its small mode. Nodding to myself I get ready to enact my plan.
Soon the snake comes flying and I use Claw of the Departed Dragon(Uncommon) to force it to shrink. Then my hand rocketed out and grabs the slippery fucker, only for it to supersize. Breaking all of my fingers and my wrist on that hand. “Oh shit, should have thought of that,” I say while cradling my broken hand.
As I try and dodge the very large snake by forcing fire out of my mouth, I come to realize that I could just aim for where the snake would be after it shrunk. Mentally patting myself on the back, I try out my new idea. It works! For three passes then it only shrinks part of its body each time messing up where it would be. Fuck.
I’ve now come to realize that this snake is probably smarter than me, and the only to beat it is to stop trying to be smart and just kill it. The next time that snake launches itself at me, I tackle it. This goes poorly as it is 50 feet long and probably weighs a couple of tons.
As we are sent flying through the woods I started to bite and claw the snake. When it shrunk I grabbed it in a very loose grip to trick it into expanding. When it did expand I hit it with a bar of fire to the face, which I know is very uncomfortable. When we hit the ground and a wrestling match ensues I now find myself with the upper hand.

Which does not last long as it manages to coil around me, despite my efforts. As it starts to compress I do the only thing I can think of, sustained Breath of the Wyvern(Epic). I take a deep breath and unleash the flame into the snake’s body that is starting to crush my skull.
The fire rages inside the tight confines of a giant coiled snake quickly burning through the scales. After the normal second is up I keep funneling energy into the fires to keep them burning this awful snake.
The Snake now realizing that it is in fact burning from the inside, shifts into its smaller form only for me to grab it with my working hand and keep lighting that stupid fucking snake up. After a couple of failed escape attempts, the snake finally stops moving. That may be due to the fact that it’s now two parts.
Stopping the raging inferno coming out of my mouth, I fall to my knees in exhaustion. Then I ate the snake.

Cultivating Earth [Hiatus]
[This fiction is on indefinite hiatus. I'm currently acting as a 24-hour caregiver for my step-father who had a massive heart attack. I apologize for disappearing so quickly, but sometimes that's just life. I'll return as soon as possible. Sorry everyone!] Zhao Gang, after hundreds of thousands of years cultivating, has finally reached the penultimate threshold. He is ready to ascend to the level of True Immortal. Driven by the need for a place his enemies won't find him, Zhao Gang puts together an audacious plan. He has developed a revolutionary new formation which will allow him to ascend while on even the lowest planes. To avoid drawing attention, he has to choose a plane that is relatively desolate, however. He chooses Earth. Fast forward three thousand years. Zhao Gang discovers what his work has wrought - a cultivation-free culture that has delved the deep mysteries of creation - he can't help but think how this tiny little planet devoid of natural energy could affect the course of all creation. There's only one problem. For that to happen, he has to succeed in cultivating Earth. Notes: Chinese names should be ignored in the social context - they don't mean anything. Sorry for slaughtering such a beautiful tradition. This novel starts off slower than most. If the slow-roll isn't your thing, you might want to give this a pass. If it's not for you, I understand. Also, releases may be broken up into smaller chunks. The goal is 5k words, but definitely more than 4k. If you see a short release, be aware that more is probably coming. I'll be honest and say that I'm struggling with each new scene, if only because I want to balance the scope of vision with good pacing. I hope the work I put into it is worthwhile.

20 years has pass since the first appearance of the infamous Grimson, whom disappear and never to be heard again since, why? where might they be? Whatever the answer might be, it won't change the fact that a new storm will blow, bringing the breeze of a new era.
8 255The Granddaughter of Time
Teresa Hargrove was okay with giving up. She knew the Earth was doomed and there was nothing to be done about it. What she was not okay with was the Future, an enigmatic woman nearly fanatical in her devotion to making a difference, dragging her along — seemingly, to prove her wrong. It turns out though that the Future is very hard to understand. This story contains heavy themes, including mental illness, existential crisis and death. However, I still tried to eventually convey a message of hope. Several mythical and metaphorical beings in the shape of humans will appear in most chapters. However, they are not meant to be of a specific ethnicity or social background and are instead perceived differently by people around them. For your reading pleasure, feel free to imagine them any way you’d like, even if your imagination contradicts descriptions from the story. Enjoy!~
