《Curses》14. Some fun
Advertisement
My style of combat completely overwhelmed the goblins, who may or may not be able to move. Goblins have around 5 dexterity, when my {Hex of Slowness} is applied to them it may push their dexterity into the negatives making it impossible to move. From there I just poked them in vital spots. It was extremely easy, and after poking my way through the first floor, I ended up on a mini-boss.
The mini-boss was a five-foot hob-goblin, it had light orange skin with warts covering its face. Disgusting as always, but it would be a good test of my abilities right now. As I cast {Hex of Slowness} and I felt something I rarely ever felt while casting my spells, resistance. It took more mana than normal to hex the hob-goblin before taking hold on it.
The hob-goblin started to look around as fast as it could. It wasn’t very fast given the drop in dexterity. It found me after a couple of seconds due to my horrendous stealth skills. Even in my past life I never got the handle on stealth, I even had a skill for it and it never worked.
With a snort, the hob-goblin charged me or tried. It was super slow due to a certain hex placed on it. I walk over to it as casually as I could, holding my rapier I take some pokes at him. It barely does anything to the slow hob-goblin.
Upset that my low stats weren't allowing me to use the rapier effectively. Sighing, I dispelled {Hex of Slowness} and cast {Lesser Curse of Immolation}. Gasping as the mana cost was raised to 70 to cast it once. Why did a mini-boss at floor 1 have resistance to hexes and curses? It was a mystery for another day.
For now, I watched the hob-goblin slowly burn up on the inside with a smile on my face as I danced around the easily read attacks. It was always fun to watch my curses work their magic.

The hob-goblin was immolated after a short while, a warm feeling filled me up.

That felt good, now it was time to get to level 4 or 5, then fight the first boss. Before I left, I checked out the hob-goblins drops. It was a paintbrush? The drop I got is a paintbrush. I didn’t have an identifying skill so I would get it checked after I got out of the tower.
Skipping along while casting {Hex of Slowness} on every goblin I found before stabbing them in the heart and skipping away. I repeated this process until I found the next mini-boss. It went pretty much the same way. Low damage with a rapier, curse resistance, and the same paintbrush. Well, I could only hope it was expensive. I also got a level up.

I put the free points into wisdom and started to head for where I thought that the boss was located. It was time for my first boss fight in this life.

Reborn as a Magic Firefly, Help?
A rural farmer's boy is unknowingly reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters as just a wee little larva, not even considered a monster at all. But through grit and a passion for surviving, he will eventually evolve into something truly powerful and maybe, just maybe, find a way home. If that means defeating powerful foes and becoming a powerful monster himself, maybe, just maybe, that's what he needs to do. Popcorn easy-going typical "reincarnated as a monster" fic. Expect evolution trees, rare evolutions, small twists, a generally unaccepted main character who just wants to meet a human, the works. In this story, the main character is reincarnated as a larva, but his evolution will lead him down a path to become a will 'o wisp firefly hybrid, since that is what the fellows over on light novel amino requested, and it sounded cool. I'm just writing this to keep my fingers moving, so it won't have too much effort in it, but if you like stories like the beginning of the (good) reincarnated-as-a-dragon light novel, I'm sure you'll like this one. Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.

Unto Dark
A man of cripplingly ill mind, bridled with the spirits and regrets of the past. Wade Pierce trudges through each day of his monochrome existence, only as penance for his sins. Such a man is abruptly decamped of this world courtesy of unapologetic forces, left stranded in a realm filled with unknowns. Armed only with his potent yet fragile intellect, Wade advances into this new abyss, as he attempts to rewrite the wrongs he has committed. Plagued by vile beasts, self-righteous Gods, and even his own seething darkness, the cracks in his mind begin to spread and a dangerous, newfound power bubbles beneath the surface. As the world grows darker day by day, this unfortunate journey begins ------------ I suppose rectitude dictates that I should state any themes worthy of noting here. First of all, this story is not a sunshiny one in the slightest. Since it is listed under the psychological and mature tag and not the comedy tag, that shouldn't be a surprise. Next, morbidity is a factor and general apathy towards human life. All of these are common themes amongst other writers, so nothing new there. The story also contains consensual, and non-consensual sexual activity, although I have tried to be as tasteful as is possible for someone like myself. Finally, the pace is drawn-out, and the language is magniloquent at times. Not to mention, the chapters are quite lengthy. Don't expect to read this halfheartedly... Other than that, enjoy the story... There's nothing more important than that...
