' Hey, can I use appraisal? '
(Devouring monster)
' Will I die? '
' Doing it then '
I try to appraise myself and information starts to flood my mind.

While trying to read I notice that something is kind of odd... I can't move my body and as a result, I fall to the ground.
(Devouring monster)
' I'll use this time to read that info again then. I don't have anything to lose from that now. '
I read the appraisal a few more times and come to a conclusion...
' What the fuck is wrong with this?! I didn't know I had so much physical damage resistance! I didn't even know I had magical resistance! Since when do I have greater magic talent and greater magic potential! And what's wrong with that title?! '
God damn it... So, everything that you have under "special" is what you were born with or that was created from something that was already in that "special". Do I really need to explain the titles?> (Devouring monster)
' Yes. I can't get any detail yet do I? '
(Devouring monster)
' What about those other two? '
That gave an idea...> (Devouring monster)
' Wow... that's... Awesome? Well, I better get ready and go meet with Noemi. Today I'm going to learn a new magic spell with her again. '
I get ready and head to her class.
«Hey Jim! Is everything alright? You look kind of pale..?» (Noemi)

«Yes, I'm alright... Just stop appearing from out of nowhere, please...» (Me)
' She keeps scaring me like this... What are her stats?! I can never sense her presence which is weird... '
' Seriously?! '
We arrive at the field and the teacher's shirt gets drenched in his sweat instantly.
«S-s-s-so... T-t-today w-w-we'll learn t-t-this spell...» (Pigman Teacher)
The teacher gives a sheet of paper to every student while trembling, except to me and Noemi.
«Why do we not have one as well?!» (Noemi)
The teacher jumps and moves a few steps back. He then slowly and reluctantly approaches us and gives us an old looking piece of torn paper each, before running away to the other student's side. We look at each other and start reading the paper.
«So we are using a harder spell?» (Me)
«N-n-no... T-the p-p-princ-cipal t-told m-me...»(Pigman Teacher)
«I told him to have you two summon a beast. Seems like he didn't know you two were geniuses and is now incredibly nervous. The pieces of paper you have are the instructions to the magic circle. After that just drop a bit of blood on it and imagine the most loyal thing you could possibly have as a pet. Then, voila! Your Familiar will appear and automatically for a contract with you. Convenient am I right?» (Principal)
The principal comes from out of a building and explains what the teacher couldn't.
«Are they getting a familiar already? So lucky... » (Student A)
«They are geniuses so I guess it's just normal...» (Student B)
«Why is it always them...» (Student C)
' Look's like we'll be getting really famous really fast. '
«Okay, I'm bored of waiting I'll make that damn circles for you. Just put your blood in it and do the thing and get it over with.» (Principal)

The principal stomps his foot and two large circles appear on the ground right behind him.
Noemi walks forward and takes out a small knife.
' Was that space magic?! Where did that knife come from?! '
She lightly cuts the tip of her finger and a single drop of blood fall to the center of the circle, takes a few steps back, sits down and closes her eyes. An intense dark red light starts overflowing from the circle. A shadow then starts rising from the center of it. Dark, thick horns appear and after almost ten minutes, the familiar is fully out. It's a Ram. A dark Ram with an ominous aura that could take two persons on it's back. He looked at Noemi, lay down and bowed its head.
«I'll name you "Despair" » (Noemi)
They seem to talk telepathically a for a while and then Despair disappears in a cloud of darkness.
«A ram huh? That's actually the first time I've seen anyone summoning a ram. Then again, I usually only watch the geniuses' summonings so I've basically only seen the summoning of dragons, angels and the likes. Now, Jim. Go for it.» (Principal)
«You'll get a really good familiar! I know you will! » (Noemi)
«Hopefully.» (Me)
I approach the circle and I slightly cut the tip of my finger by making a sharp blade on my gauntlet. A few drops fall into the magic circle as I step back. I then imagine the most loyal dog, one that would never leave my side and would be waiting for me even if I would never come back. Bright dark lights come out of the circle and, this time, as a small fox suddenly appears on it.
«I guess his familiar won't have an epic entrance as well... »
The small fox climbs to my shoulder and rubs its obsidian-like fur on my face.
' I have to say... You might not look strong but you are incredibly adorable. '
(???)
A female voice sounds inside of my head.
' I guess the contract does this as well... Really convenient. '
«IT'S SO CUTE!» (Noemi)
Noemi's eyes are shining while looking at the fox. The fox seems to also be smiling.
' I still need to name him something... and yes... it's a him. '
«I'll call you Kit.»
(Kit)
«Now I guess you all can go on with your class. I'm heading back.»
The principal takes a few steps and then stops. He just stays like that.
«C-can I touch it?» (Female Students A-F)
All the girls in the class approach me in the hopes of petting my familiar Kit.
«L-let's go...» (Female student A)
«This is getting dangerous...» (Female student B)
Noemi is scaring all the girls off with her intense stare. Some students even
«I think you might have saved us... We would have most likely drowned in there if it went on...» (Me)
«No problem! I need to protect my lover as well right?» (Noemi)
' "I don't remember being your lover" is what I would say but I know where this would lead already so I'll let her think this was until it becomes an actual reality. '
«So the humans are at it again... Understood. » (Principal)
I didn't hear anything from what the principal said other than that.
«Why the are you making such a face..?» (Noemi)
«Nothing... » (Me)
' How does she even know my face if I'm wearing a mask...? '
The principal looks at me and then keeps walking into the building.

Everything can grow. Everything can rise, and ascend. Even, a Tree.
8 169Yokai Academy
What does it really mean to be 'human'?Is it our intellect? Our morals? Or just a title we have associated with everything that is 'good' and 'right' in this world?Are Yokai really only the monsters everyone makes them out to be or is there more to these living myths that have reappeared in our modern times?Our protagonist Zeke will find out what really is behind the mask that they show everyone else as he attends a certain Academy...Warning!: The setting is less than original and I am trying out a new style of writing so should you find it unbearable please don't feel like you are forced to read this!
8 189Forging The Beastmen
Our mc gently freezes to death behind some dumpsters like a stray, and has somehow woken up in the body of a beastman child, jailed in a slaver ship.Enslaved, hunted, and scattered, how will he gather the beastmen from their squalor, and bring them to glory alongside the other races? Typical fantasy world with dungeons, magic, monsters, and adventurers. I'm just trying to take out all the game-style systems and rely on wit & skill, whilst putting us in a different perspective. as you can see in the tags I have big ambitions for this story, and I hope to get to that stage without ballsing it all up, looking forward to sharing it with you all
8 83Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)
