《Ruby_eyes》chapter 10: Bone-trail
Advertisement
As Ruby was looking at the bone remains of the duo a sudden urge fills her body telling her to salvage the bones.
she contemplates is this what they call instinct or just a need to become stronger.
our heroine slowly swam back to the corpses till her face/skull was a hands width from the bones, in mere seconds Ruby bites into the spine of one of the skeletons severing the head from the rest of body, without her even realizing like in a maddened rage she moves onto severing the arms and the pelvis from the rib-cage all before she swims into the center of the rib-cage and starts to emit a dark aura that latches onto the bones, the sounds of cracking bones can be heard as they start to fall in on them self's encasing ruby in there creamy embrace.
after a few seconds of silence the aura escapes at multiple places along the cage creating a black flash, as the darkness clears the new form of ruby is shown. Her bodies head point looks somewhat the same till you look towards where the spine for the skull should be where it seems a black elongated mass is copying the spine till you reach a rib-cage of black bones enclosing around the black mass that had widened till the bones are barely off the skin, at the end point of the rib-cage a large dark tail spews to the length of half a meter before ending with a mace like ending.
as the dark flash had ended Ruby regained contentiousness hovering in the water with her new body. she turns a flails trying to see what happened to her till she sees a part of plate mail from the dead duo that was deposited during the dark ball attack. once she saw herself in the reflection of the metal her first thought was.

(Ruby):-a litch, isn't that like just a skeleton in a bathrobe ?, i didn't know they were this awesome.-
(Alphard): " well the litchis do sound cool in the message but whats not said is that once you become one you gain a skill that has a lot of negative effects, but for where you are now it should be no problem"
from learning this ruby gives a hint of distrust in the litch monster before looking at the skeleton of the second adventure before ripping that one apart leaving the arms, Ruby stares at the arm intensely as a tendril of darkness reaches to the arm and connects it to Ruby's body but instead of the whole arm being connecting like she though it became separated at the elbow with the smaller bone changing shape to become the same as the larger bone with all the bones for the hands disappearing in the process, the two bones connect to Ruby on both side making it so she now looks like a head and torso with 2 stubby arms.
(Ruby): -these arms are so cute-
as the transformation is over the duo of monsters start to follow the foot steps that were left in the sand from them coming this way. . .
im making a new fiction as well so I can change between the two to alleviate stress and keep the creative juices flowing.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

(Un)Paralleled
Based on the novel by MGHT, Unparalleled. Things are not as they were. In this alternate story, follow our Hero(?) as he traverses the world. But, is this world really the one we know? I will be using MGHT's original story as a guideline, and applying my own touch to it. Due to there being a lack of information on the wider scope of things, I'll be throwing in things that may not adhere to the original author's plans. Then again, what fun is there in reading something that has already been done? Tags and genres stated are subject to change without notice, be it the addition or removal of tags. Cover art is a fanart I found online a long time ago. Character is Gyuki from Nurarihyon No Mago.
