《Manablood Mellie》Chapter 26: Loot Raid
Advertisement
The spell tome melted in Mellies' hands as she absorbed the ridiculous skill. "So" Mellie said as she spun around to her shocked companions, "I dont need to explain how all of the things you heard in this room need to stay in this room. And the things about me as well." She said gravely. "We need to find the elves, the demonkin and the dwarves to reform their dying races." She explained to the group. "So, Robert copy these rune formations and then burn them out. Mary, lets go look for loot." She decided. Mellie laughed aloud. She would essentially become a demon pimp when she found a place to set up the portals.
Many of the tomes crumbled upon touching them, from age, not knowledge retention. Some of the books were journals on the creation of the races and the creation of monsters. Mary took one to read through as Mellie went through the tomes.

Monsters and men. There seemed to be an unclear dividing line between them between sentience and madness. Some dragons were sentient and sane, just punished with greed or envy. Often it was hard madness from depression other than action or inaction. Magical beasts could be frightening. And Mellie was, technically, a magical beast.
Finally Mellie found a spell at the bottom of a broken wooden box. She laughed at the spell, looking to see how much room for spells and skills she had, and devoured the book, giggling.

She offered the book to Mary but she said, "This is what your family left behind for you. That wouldn't sit right with me."The book crumbled as Mellie absorbed it. The skillbook she found had to go to Mary. "I don't need a skillbook to make wine with my spells." She said as she handed her the book.
Skill: Vintor Distill drinkable wine! Combine fruit juice and yeast with age! Quality of wine increases with Vintor Lvl
Mary eyed the skill sadly, about to refuse. "Hey" Mellie said, "Life may be kinda shit now, but when it's not, you gotta keep your passions alive. Take the skill." Mary stared at the book a moment longer, and smiled at her new knowledge as the book crumbled.

In the final room they explored, on a pedestal standing next to a broken portal was one last tome. She felt a pull toward the book. She knew this one wasn't a joke. This room was where she was supposed to arrive.

Mellie took the spell, and immediately felt she could see a visual change in her companions. She noticed that her Debuff was finally gone. She walked up to Mary. "May I?" she asked her. Mary nodded and placed her hand over her chest. She pushed her will into Mary to forget the corpse eating from her mind, and let her go. Mary blinked. "What was that?" She asked, confused.
Mellie smiled, "You didn't need to remember your meals when you weren't yourself," she vaguely explained as they walked toward Robert. He had long finished copying the rune formations and was balancing three tomes on rune formations that were barely holding themselves together. Mellie smacked Mary in the face with a slice of what looked like American cheese while laughing, so she didn't have to explain herself.
As Mellie was laughing, her little sewn on pocket started glowing and a little fairy woke up, hungry. Fortunately she was best friends with a magical beastwoman who let her nap in her pocket. "Morning Mellie." the little fairy mumbled to Mellie. All she heard was a buzz then she tried her new spell.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...
8 169My Shapeshifting Life
Following what many people described as the 'Whispering of the Sirens', the entire world shifted ever so slightly. A dozen or so individuals through the world awakened unimaginable powers, beginning what would later be known as the 'Metahuman Revolution'. Lilith, a woman who'd always thought of herself as a normal, down-to-earth kind of person, suddenly found herself caught up in all of the drama and changes. With the military wishing to pick her up and force her into becoming a supersoldier, the media obsessing over her, and the scientists salivating to get their hands on her, she really could use any help she could get. Thankfully, while the world still didn't make much sense, at least she gained some sweet powers that could help her survive, if nothing else.
8 149The Love Hero Chronicles
Lets keep this simple shall we? Single witty and sarcastic man is now trapped in an alternate Earth based off a cringy eroge game. Worse yet he's stuck there as a supporting character with a horrendous backstory. Seeking way home or at least trying not to bite the dust as many non-protagonist male characters do. Will his real world thinking connect well to the tropey and cliché world of a harem game? Probably not.

Filled with despair and sadness, she had to hide and bid her time for a lot of people wished for her death. “I have lost everything; you can’t take anything else from me. But I too will gain much more in my path as Eon Energy Master, I’ll not give up and someday, I’ll reach the peak.” Her small arm picked up the white lily flower and gripped it tighter with determination flashed in her eyes. Trash? Her small lips smiled in a tinged of mockery. Even if everyone around her wished to kill her, she would never give up. She will show them who the real trash is and become the greatest genius in the world! Even if the entire world is against her, she would not cower. She will reach the peak.
