When I woke up I already have become a fish.
Well at least it didn’t hurt.
(FOR NOW)
“Oh come on!”
Let’s see my new stats and skills!
“Status.”
[tr] [tr]
STATUS RACE: COCCOSTEUS (EVOS) NAME: NONE LEVEL 1 EVOLUTION STAGE 2 EXP 0/10 EVOLUTION EXP 0/10 HEALTH 100% MANA 100% STRENGTH 3 INTLLECT 20 AGILITY 5 ENDURANCE 8 STAT POINTS 10 SKILL POINTS 5
Eh my status vent up. And I have some points now!
Wait how do I earn them?
ANSWER: STAT POINTS AND SKILL POINTS ARE GIVEN AFTER EACH LEVEL UP AND EVOLUTION.
THE HIGHER LEVEL YOU ARE THE MORE POINTS YOU GET 10 LEVEL 10 STAT POINTS 5 SKILL POINTS >20 LEVEL 15 STAT POINTS 10SKILL POINTS. AFTER EACH EVOLUTION YOU GET EXTRA POINTS, FIRST EVOLUTION 10 STAT POINTS 5 SKILL POINTS, SECOND EVOLUTION 20 STAT POINTS 10 SKILL POINTS, THIRD EVOLUTION 40 STAT POINTS 20 SKILL POINTS.
That…THAT IS GREAT! Also please explain what each stat gives.
ANSWER: STRENGTH - GIVES YOU MORE PHYSICAL POWER AND SOME RESISTANCE TO PHYSICAL ATTACKS.
AGILITY – INCREASES PHYSICAL REFLEXES SPEED, PHYSICAL SPEED, DEXTERITY AND FLEXIBILITY.
INTELLECT – INCREASES YOUR IQ, CALCULATION SPEED, MEMORY, CONCENTRATION, VISUAL REFLEXES AND RESISTANCE TO MIND AND ILLUSION MAGIC.

“Skill list.”
SKILL LIST SKILLS RACIAL SKILLS NONE FISH ARMOR; WATER BREATHING; EXTINCT SPECIES
I got a bad feeling about this. What are those skills?

FISH ARMOR You are a fish with armor! How cool is that? But be aware that this armor is not very strong. WATER BREATHING You are a fish! What else there is to say? EXTINCT SPECIES You are a fish of extinct species. If you get caught by intelligent creature you will be handed over for autopsy!
“Autopsy?! Am I some lab rat?”
(NO YOU ARE A FISH. SO STAY AWAY FROM FISHY BUSINESS!)
I GET IT ALREADY!
So how do I buy skills?
Just when I thought that a long ass list of skills appeared.
This is gonna take a while.
(SOME TIME LATER)
Whelp the list is too big so I’m gonna show only the ones I bought.

INVENTORY A cheat like skill that allows you to store anything regardless of weight or size (except living creatures) in interdimensional bottomless storage! (Cost 1pt.) WATER BULLET LVL 1 Compress water in the form of bullet and shot it straight to your target. After each upgrade compression, rotation and flight speed increases. (Cost 3pt.)(Upgrade cost 3pt.)
Well time for some hunting. Oh right I didn't tell you where the heck am I. To tell you the truth I don’t know, it seems some kind of lake or maybe sea.
Oh a fish.
“Here fishy fishy *OM NOM NOM NOM NOM* tasty! ”
Oh another one.
“Here fishy fishy”
And that’s how my time went. Until I met that creature. That most annoying and hateful creature!
Yes a human!
I was minding my own business when suddenly I saw a boat. Led by my curiosity I swam to it. when I peeked from water I saw that creature. Ugly 170 cm long man in some tribal clothes.
And he was fishing!
“You snot nose BASTARD you dare fish here?! This is my territory! All fishes in this lake/sea belong to me! Take that WATER BULLET!”
Straight in his ear! With a face which said WTF he fell from the boat.
“HA HA now you’re mine you cock eating shit faced bastard!”

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!
8 98Digital Haven
The modern world fell into a deep depression, and few options remained for the suffering lower class. The global economy crumbled under a growing energy crisis and overpopulation led to the creation of a virtual frontier known as Teurilia, the first full immersion virtual reality. Teurilia introduced a world of adventure and exploration leaning on human nature for greed and power. The world, built to be a realistic role-playing game offered players nearly unlimited freedom and became wildly popular around the world within weeks of its initial release. Originally intended to be a temporary relief from the real world, the world’s governments soon realized the potential of virtual existence with the release of technology to permanently transfer consciousness from physical bodies into virtual ones. Supported by economists of the world and political power from the United Nations, Teurilia received limitless funding to support the migration of millions of new citizens. Eric Williams like many low-class citizens immediately saw the potential new life in Teurilia offered and signed up for the migration program within the first week of its announcement. Eric always dreamed of grand adventure and Teurilia was his golden ticket. This is his story…
8 278The Altered, The Augmented, And The Ascended
In the not too distant future, humanity had diverged into three distinct races. The Altered who have unlocked the mysteries of genetic code and can alter their biology at will. The Augmented who have taken cybernetic technology to a higher echelon, allowing them to augment thier bodies and become one with their machines. and finally the Ascended who are a mystery. Only fables of them remain for they had uploaded their consciousness and departed from the physical world. Follow the epic interspecies war between the three races vying for dominance on a planet that has endured a millennium of endless strife.
8 149The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
8 92The Gambling Demon King is full of Misfortune
Our main character Damien Kruel gets reincarnated after dying. He receives a class with an ominous-sounding name, Demon King, and a special ability Lottery... but, his luck stat is -100! Let's see what happens :)
