Hmm. Well, considering all I have been through since last I saw my status, this much increase is reasonable. Fenrir got stronger too.
But what is compounding me is, this saturation stuff. Something is saturating my egg, albeit slowly. And tree is no here to answer me. I tried calling out to him, but there was no answer.
So, I can only guess. According to the tree, my egg would need an astounding amount of darkness mana to hatch. And according to the tree Fenrir has a darkness Soul Root since he is a Dark Fang. And when they are idle, both of them are usually in my fourth door together.
So, I think it is safe to assume that Fenrir’s leaking mana is saturating my egg. Yup, that must be it. Anyway, that can be figured out later. Now, I need to figure out how to kill those skeletons. I can’t get out of here without killing them first.
Now, why can’t I kill them. It is like something is preventing them from being crushed. So, my only guess is this cavern itself is protecting the skeletons.

“Hmm.”
What to do? How can I kill them if the freaking environment is preventing them from being killed? This is annoying. More I think more I get pissed.
So, to get rid of the skeletons, I need to figure out what kind of place this is. If this place itself is protecting the skeletons, that means there is some kind of intelligence here. Or at least some kind of system at work.
Now wait a minute.
System. Skeletons are being protected. I think I’m getting at something.
So, my last hypothesis is that this place is a dungeon. And according to some of Alex’s memories, there was certain dungeons in game that required certain type of weapon to kill certain type of monsters inside the dungeons.
In conclusion, I need to find what kind of weapon I need to use to kill those skeletons. In those kind of dungeons people usually use mace or morning-star.
So, let’s start with those. Since I have none of them, wait a minute, I still got the storage items I got from two guild masters. I bring out a ring and a necklace from my pocket. Now how do I access the space inside it.
Let’s approach it with classic. Infuse my mana with it. As I will my mana to enter the two items, I suddenly hear a very familiar sound coming from certain place.
DING!
My interface. I enter my Soul Palace after hearing the sound. And I come before my interface.
Welcome to Main Interface.
Storage Ring: 5 cubic meters.
Healing Potion X3
Mana Potion X4
Mage’s Robe X1
Elemental Mage’s Staff X1
Storage Necklace: 5 cubic meters.
Gauntlets: Assault and Valor
Helmet: Harphia
Greaves: Hystria X2
Armor: Cobelinus
There are quite a few useful items. But not the most needed one. I’m sure mage’s robe and elemental staff will come in handy, as for items in Owl’s necklace might not see a daylight. I prefer my own gears better.

So, I guess that leaves only one option. Mana construct. Let’s try out a mace first. First, I convert my mana into earth elemental and will it to take a shape of a mace. Now that I realized it, energy saturation down here is like off the roofs. I think it is almost as high as The Forest’s saturation.
This will become my advantage. Now that I got my weapon let’s try out my theory. I sure hope this place is a dungeon. Aah, it’s more like Alex in me is getting excited.
I go to the closest skeleton and as soon as I got in range, it looks to me and…
SCREECH.
Screeches again. I get in close range and hit it’s head with my mace as hard as I can. And…
“BINGO!”
I finally manage to hit its head homerun. I was right. But this success doesn’t prove that this place is a dungeon. Whatever, I finally got a way to kill those fucking skeletons. As the skeleton’s body in front of me crumbles to dust, I get the same feeling.
Feeling of life force being absorbed. This further confirms my theory. If this place is a legitimate dungeon, it was no wonder for the skeletons to have life force. Since when people kill them, they need to gain EXP right.
After few seconds, I see hundreds of skeletons walking toward my with their swords. I construct another mace in my left hand and run toward them and start to go to town on them. One swing from my maces, one kill.
Now that I got the way to kill them, those skeletons aren’t that tough.
“HAHAHAHAHA, come at me you fucking boneheads.”
………
“PANT, PANT, PANT.”
Whew, it took me almost two hours to get rid of all the skeletons. I think I killed almost thousand of them. And thanks to my world tree and the high energy saturation here, I managed to fight non-stop and emerge triumphant over the skeletons.
I hoped they would drop something, but they didn’t and the EXP I got from them was meager. It was pointless grinding. Still, grinding is an essence of a dungeon crawling right. Hehehe. Alex in me is getting more and more excited at the idea that this place might be a dungeon.
Now next question is: where to head to now. If this is indeed a dungeon, that means this is only one of the floors. And to progress to the next floor I need to find the boss and defeat it. And considering the monsters here are skeletons, boss must be a necromancer.
And I’m sure that there must be a different kind of monsters here. For example, ghouls, skeleton warriors and mage, there even might be death knight here.
Well, since I started heading north from the beginning let’s keep heading north then.
I walk heading north while dispatching any skeleton I encounter on my way. And only after walking and crushing skeletons for almost three hours, do I find a wall and a ladder heading upward.
I’m not sure how tall this ladder is considering the height of the ceiling. But this is the only way for me to progress along this floor.
So, I start to climb the ladder.
Unexpectedly I came to a different place only after climbing the ladder for five minutes. I expected to climb it at least for a day.
And I didn’t ascend a floor, I got teleported to wherever I am. This place is getting more and more like a dungeon to me.
Now, I wonder what is waiting for me in this floor then.
And ugly grin crawls up my face before I know it.

Celestial [A Progression Fantasy LitRPG]
Warning!Profanity, unconventional relationships, drug use, descriptive gore and intimacy. Celestial is a slow-paced and action-packed progression fantasy with elements from the LitRPG genre. The story focuses on the protagonist’s personal growth, violence, sex, exploration and adventure. Follow Zelaria as she embarks on her journey of exploration and adventure, seeking ever greater heights of power. With an affinity for the elusive and mysterious Arcane and a preference for the thrill of close combat she nonetheless chooses to walk the path of a mage. A mage may still use weapons but a warrior rarely casts spells as far as she knows. It’s a logical path for her even if others may call it insanity. What do they know? Most people who choose to specialize in wielding mana tend to pick a mage class aligned with their element. Why become a standard mage, average at everything, when you can use your affinity for fire to become a fire mage and cause destruction with ease? The only problem for Zelaria is that no one seems to know how to get a mage class aligned with the arcane. Approaching 17 years of age she’s still at level 0 while her peers have long left her behind, their classes selected at the age of 15 when they became available. Luck is on her side though as she manages to snag employment as a hauler with a party heading on an expedition to a dungeon abandoned centuries ago. They’re looking for riches and danger while she’s still looking for an answer, one she finds at their destination even if not in the way she expected. Nothing is going to stop her from enjoying all that the world has to offer, not the wish of her parents or even her death. I'll be aiming to upload 5 chapters in bulk every week.

Almighty Dung [Dropped]
Have you seen the future? I have not, nobody did, no one can. I see...have you heard of apotheosis' prophecy? What about it? Many didn't take it seriously, probably because nobody could crack its mysteries, but the indestructible prophecy rock has recently crumbled. It is a sign that things will change. ...What did the prophecy say? Sigh, you really don't know anything. There was a furnace drawn on the prophecy rock. There were three objects in it, named meaningless crown, black star and incomplete cross. When three signs appear the beast will awaken. Has the meaning been cracked? There are many hypothesis, but nothing concrete. The first object could have relation to king of some sorts, but in this vast universe there are many worlds, counties and kings. Who can really guess its meaning? It can also be metaphorical. What about black star? They say the second clue leads to eclipse, but this also says nothing. Third one? Cross is the symbol of divinity. The cracked cross might mean a lot of things, like person who wants to go against progenitor's ideas and laws and forcefully achieve divinity...It could also mean destruction of divinity, but something like that should be impossible... You're overthinking things. How could gods stay idle if someone is threatening their reign?Also, even if somebody is forcefully awakening, the gods will be alerted by commotion and won't let it succeed... Say, do you think that awakening beast is the one who will try to become one of us? Most likely. No, it's hard to say. The prophecy can't be that simple. This is nothing but wild guesses from our side. Alright, let's stop with depressing stuff. I found a nice place not too far from my domain constellation. Really? What's special about it? Nothing we've not seen before, except for a rare delicacy. They call it chocolate. Oh? Is it delicious? Yes, much better than slime candies you've been fond of. Are you free now? Of course! Then it's my treat. Be careful though, the sovereign over there is a bit low key, but very strong. You need to get to know world's customs first, we don't need extra trouble. No problem. We have nothing to do anyway, haha. What are we waiting for? Lead the way... Ark I - Invasion of thousand kingdoms (Chapter 1-???) Ark II - Nocturnal feast (Chapter ???-???) Ark III - False divinity (Chapter ???-???) Art by sandara on deviant art

Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
