Furious Past
==========
Ryu pounces into the crowd of demons and then suddenly a black smoke came out of those 2 balls as it falls onto the ground in the center of the nest.
??-"Hmmp what a crazy human , capture him and torture him!"
The skeleton yelled a command at the demon army.
Ryu-"Huh... capture , me? Keke"
As the crowd of demons gathered around Ryu the skeleton said in a cocky manner
??-"What a idiot , jumping alone in the army of demons hahahaha!"
Slash , slice , body parts flew everywhere as the blood sprays into the air.
The demon crowd began to scream and cry in agony and anger as they were helplessly massacred by a single human.
Hoping to find big ones , Ryu was greatly disappointed ,
he killed every demons with a single hit as they were all small ones.
Ryu-"If that big skeleton is weak as these one...I will...I will..-"
Beam
A purple light has flashed infront of Ryu by his head as he swiftly dodged it , another purple light flew toward him again.
Boooom booooom
The purple lights made a small crater on the wall.
Angrily , Ryu look at the skeleton and yelled
Ryu-"Wait for your turn you sh*t head!"
Wooooooooooo
Ryu surrounded by a dark aura as he scream and his eyes began to glow red ,
Slice slice slice
Pulling back his dagger and only using his kodachi this times , he slice through the demons , Ryu was so fast that they could only see a trail of 2 glowing red dots.
Orcs-"Ahhhhhhh! Master Skeles , please help us!"
The heads of the Orcs flew into the air as they tries to flee within Ryu's darkness , the smoke balls he threw also gave him an advantage over the fight.
Vooooooom
As the smoke spread around the room , the 2 armored saw thousands of flashing lights that went straight lines , changing direction and leaving a pile of body parts.

Ryu-"*So many left ... but * The smoke is..*"
Ryu saw down on the ground in the middle of the battle and he took out a lighter
Pchhhh
Demons-"W..what is he .. doing.."
Skeles-"Pfft he is strong with his body but his fire magic is so small hauhahaha"
??-"You idiot , you are still underestimated him!?"
Ryu smirked as he threw the lighter upward toward the smoke then suddenly.
Poooooooom!
The whole smoke turned into clouds that spit fires , the fire caught the demons off guard and their head got caught on fire.
Orcs-"Ahhh! Fire!!!"
Demons , ghoul , the entire army , blindly running around and bumping into each other.
As for Skeles , he protected himself with his arms while the other armored one had a barrier.
In a single attack , the whole army was wiped out and Ryu stood up slowly.
Ryu-"Ke , all planned"
As the fire slowly distinguished away , Skeles look through the army.
Skeles-"W..what the , what happened!?"
??-"He was.. buying times ... the smoke wasn't only for covering himself.."
Skeles stomp the ground with his leg as he yells furiously
Skeles-"You lowly human trash , you think you can ruin my plan!"
Lowly... Trash... trash .. trash...
As the words resonated in his head , Ryu gripped his fist tightly and his hands started to bleed.
Ryu-"Lowly? Trash?!"
As Ryu repeated those words , his aura became darker as he shed tears of blood from the corner of his eyes
Drip , drip
??-"This... is bad ... why did you provoke him!"
Ryu-"Limit break Edge blades!"
Screamed furiously in anger and suddenly thousands of chained blades flew out from the dark aura toward Skeles.
The blade furiously dance around Skeles as it stabs him in every part of his body , one by one , his armor shredded away as he knees slammed onto the ground

Skeles , felt helplessly as he stared at Ryu.
Slice , slice , Skeles bones sliced in tiny pieces and green liquid came out from his bones.
After a seconds , Sekeles whole body turned into million tiny pieces , while only his head remains on the ground.
Skeles-"C...cu..curse you.."
Ryu turned back normal , his aura fades away back inside his body and he wipe away his blood.
Ryu-"*Damn... I used most of my Ki for that..*"
??-"W..what happened!?..how!"
The other armored one took a few steps back as Ryu slowly walk towards her.
Ryu-"It's your turn...next.."
Steps , steps , steps
Nael-"W..what the f**k happened here.."
Ryu turned around and he sees a group of people.
Ryu-"More demons?"
An old looking man with a beautiful red hair girl leading a group of people.
Vroooooom , a sound came from the armored one and suddenly , a dark red hole slowly opened up and vacuums the air around it as the armored one walk closer to it.
??-"We will meet again..handsome"
Skeles-"Hey , what about me!"
The armored one left into the hole , alone and the dark red hole disappeared.
Ryu-"Tssk she ran away"
Ryu walk toward the center and then stomps on the big speaking skull.
Ryu-"How are you still alive , die already"
Stomps , stomps
Nael and Lucy looked at the scene and said
Nael-"The....the demons are all dead?"
Kallia-"Commander Lucy... there is someone alive.. he seems angry"
Kallia pointed toward the middle of the corpse.
Lucy-"You are right , he may be the one who killed these demons.."
Kael look at Lucy with a confused expression.
Kael-"T..that's impossible.. he probably came here after the battle happened..a single human couldn't of done this"
Skeles-"Gaah! stop it , you're hurting me!"
Kael , Lucy and Kallia looked toward the sound and they saw a skull under Ryu's shoes.
Nael-"A demon skull?! , Mens , we will go get that skull!"
Nael took the soldiers and moved toward Ryu followed by Lucy and Kallia in the back.
As Ryu stomped on the skull , he notice that they were getting closer to him.
Ryu-"Who are you and what do you want?"
Nael held out his hand to stop the mens and said
Nael-"Young scavenger... you are standing on a precious intel that we need , now hand it over before you get hurt"
Ryu-"Me... get hurt... did you just threaten me?!"
Nael was scared as he took a step back and waved is hand to let his mens do their job.

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)

The Cosmic and the Fair
When magic comes crashing into the world, humans are swept away. When they come trickling back, they are changed. Many of them have been transformed into elves, dwarves, trolls... and now one succubus. Magic is wondrous, dangerous, and inextricably linked to all living things. But succubi have to take it from other people, and for a succubus dropped far away from any communities big enough to sustain her, that's a problem. Luckily for Persephone Evans, she's got help. She has a fancy unique class and a companion. But both gifts come with strings attached, and why did she have to teach the succubus on her shoulder what 'consent' means? This is my first story! Note: The prologue differs wildly in tone from the rest of the story. I'm playing it safe on the tags. I don't think the story really deserves the profanity or gore content warnings, but the main character does swear and get hurt. That said, the main character is a succubus. Sexual content is a given.
