《Ruby_eyes》Chapter 8: A fish's best friend
Advertisement
as the fact that she is now a monster fills her with many emotions, one dread, two excitement, three murkiness with a hint of shock creates a meal that describes her current mental state. For the fact she is a monsters monster, the cream of the crop , the top notch on the pole.
she just shrugs this off and swims away from the pillars that was once poll and she exits the safe zone that was the boss room.
she came in as a little fish, now she leaves as the leviathan. that is one big change, then she has a thought
(Ruby): - hey alphard if the sin of envy what are the other 6 ?-
(Alphard) :"well if you remember from your past world the seven deadly sins, the seven deadly sins that you collected are the very same"
(Ruby): -that's not what i meant, i meant the other 6 sin title's ?-
(Alphard): " oh well let me list the titles in there strength,
the strongest of all the sin is pride with the title 'arch-king of dragons', the second is wrath with the title 'the butcher of man', the third is gluttony its title is 'the eternal consumer', next is sloth with 'time stalker',after sloth is you envy , but after you is lust with its title 'seducer of Lords' and finally the sin greed has the title 'immortal collector',
so that's the pecking order for you lot in strength but in actual intelligence i would say the list would be flipped except for pride which would stay at the top since the holder of pride is the strongest of you all, but i can't say anything more except the closest other sin to your location is lust with you two being in the same country"
(Ruby): -wow so even though i'm the youngest I am in a good location on the list-

as she was swimming on she saw a familiar sight before her, a swarm of goblin fish were surging towards the body of what seems to be a snake like creature at the length of roughly 1 meter with a blue hide until the neck where it turns to a yellow like hue that shines lightly in the water. once Ruby looks closer at the snake like creature a status screen appears.

from seeing this ruby is shocked at the fact that his monster is her first real ally, after thinking this ruby watches the AC(Aqua constrictor) as it fights the continues.
positions its easy to see that the goblin-fish swarm has the advantage but when compared to the AC's there like toothpicks, when she contemplates this she realizes the point of a swarm. the swarm is needed since goblin fish alone are too weak, safety in numbers as they say.
as it seems i arrived in the middle of the battle since on the sand there were dozens of goblin-fish corpses with 2 holes in there bodies, while the AC has only took some minor cuts and grazes to its hide.
From constant suicide tactics the goblin-fish constantly attacking the AC it slowly wears it down but in the process the AC can quickly bite into an estimate of 1/6th of the remaining swarm. with the amount of fish going against the AC, this battle will indefinitely go to the goblin-fish.

As ruby though this the AC did something she didn't suspect, it coiled into the shape of a flatted spring before exploding in movement into the center of the swarm and coming out with a gold-eyed goblin fish in its mouth, the remains of what the swarm was dissipate rapidly into the surrounding area leaving the Aqua-constrictor and me alone in the immediate area.
as the Aqua constrictor was eating the corpse of the gold eye ruby approaches slowly and contemplates what just happened.
(Ruby): -The swarm dissipated when that one goblin-fish died so it must be a queen of sorts creating and managing the swarm, so when it died the swarm dissipated, its the queen-
The closer ruby got to the monster the more she contemplated how this creature was to be her first ally till she remember the skill 'red-eye enslavement', with this it should be possible. as Ruby was around 1 meter from the Aqua constrictor, it turns its body around to face Ruby with its fangs bared to attack. before the monster attacked ruby spoke in Aquatic language.
(Ruby):"hello i'm ruby, I mean no harm."
even though Ruby said this the AC still bared its fangs towards her, ruby figuratively sighed before activating 'red-eye enslavement' on the Aquatic constrictor, as she did this the eyes of the serpent turned from a grey color to an Amber color before it bowed towards ruby.
(Ruby): "yay i got a new friend"
. . .
btw i've stoped the status screen at the bottom because if the layout thing happened again i would basically destroy the chapters so this is official notice im not gonna do the status screen at bottom anymore.

Mystic Nan
Note: Currently undergoing rewrite, we'll be back soon!(If you enjoy this story, it would help immensely if you considered voting for it at topwebfiction, thank you.) Nan Beauchamp, like many youths of the year 2000-something; will live, work, and die as less than a footnote of a footnote within the abridged history of unremarkable years. This suits her fine. Too bad about the truck that turned her into paste, then. Luckily, or unluckily, fate deigned to give the poor girl another chance to make something of herself in a bizarre universe brimming with magic, spaceships, and... giant talking spiders? This "second chance" seems less than ideal. (A web serial import from Wordpress)

Monsters as Men(A good v evil story based on reincarnation in different worlds)
The Monsters have taken over the universe. With their corrupting system behind them, which they use equally for power and recruitment, no one can compare to their strength. Good has been nearly eradicated, with its god slain, and the one who picked up its Mantle tempted to evil. In contrast, the god of Evil is growing, getting stronger. Only one person can defend the world against this threat. This is the tale of the Bluejay. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), Spirit(for Spirit Magic), and Dominion(for Aura). This is very much a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcome. This is set in the same world as my other story, Spirits of Eternity. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
