《Reverse Scale: Draconic Rebirth》Chapter 2: Wolfs and Lizards
Advertisement
I haven't even figured out how to use skills, yet I am thrown right into combat.
Oh god!
I duck down under the attacking wolf and roll to the side. The wolf snarls at me as I get up.
["YOU STUPID FUCK! I AM JUST TRYING TO SURVIVE!"]
I can barely keep up with the wolf's speed. Whenever I blink, I am in danger of dying.
The wolf snaps at me, but I somehow manage to dodge, but after a short extent, it manages to maul my arm with its huge fangs.
DANG, IT HURTS SO MUCH!
The pain residing in my head slowly turns into anger. I feel my blood dripping down my left arm. The rage dwells up even more as the wolf tries to rip off my flesh. Suddenly the skin on my arm turns black and scaly. The maw of the wolf has forcibly opened by the hard exterior of my arm, and its canines break.
This intense rage also fills my other hand and turns it into a black claw.
["YOU BASTARD!!!"]
With hatred-filled eyes, I smash my right fist against the head of the wolf. With a splattering sound, the wolf's head has been split open. I pully my red hand out of his brain mass and wipe the leftovers off on its fur. It seems like I just mastered my "Draconic Scales" -skill.
Oh, I am currently naked, so let's just use the fur to cover myself!
I extend my claws and begin cutting off the wolf's fur and cover myself. Since I am level I, this wolf shouldn't be high leveled, so I'd better not meet one.
Oh, right, I forgot to mention. My exp bar is almost filled, so this wolf gave me a lot of exp!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ren continued to venture through the vast and lush plains of Ashor and defeated a multitude of wolves, which eventually granted him a level up. On his wolf-hunts, Ren also learned to control his other skills. At first, he had no problem with food since he ate the meat of the wolves or gathered fruits from trees, but eventually, there were no more wolves to hunt, and only fruits couldn't still his hunger.

After few days of near-starvation, Ren spotted a town on the horizon.
He dragged his tired and exhausted body to the border of the town, where he collapsed.
One of the guards spotted him while on patrol and brought him inside.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Man... I whited out again. Seems like my habit of whiting out continues even in this world...
[???: "Jill, you can't just bring a human into our village!"]
A man with a raspy voice. He seems like he's some elder or something.
[Jill?: "But Elder Mu, He was unconscious right outside the village wall, and besides, I don't feel the presence of a human from him! His presence resembles that of a dragon a lot more!"]
A pleasant smooth voice, probably a young woman.
[Mu: "Ah, He's woken up!"]
I open my eyes, and there they are. Lizardmen. Blue scales covering them. Instead of hair, they have majestic feather crowns, and their clothes look tribal.
[Jill: "Hey, do you remember anything? You looked pretty bad."]
Yep, you can definitely tell that she's a female. Her features are a lot slimmer and feminine.
[Huh?! Oh, that's right. I walked for days in search of people. But I couldn't find any, and then I found this village."]
Dude... what shampoo do you use for your feather?! Every model agency would hire this buff-looking lizard for his majestic feather crown.
[ Mu: "But what does a human so far into the plains?"]
Oh yeah! I according to this game interface, I am not a human anymore...
["I am no human though..."]
[Jill: "See? I told you so!"]
[Mu: "I see... Then I must apologize. My name Is Mu. The elder of this village. And this is Jill, one of our hunters."]
["Nice to meet you, the name's Ren."]

[Mu: "But still, it's very impressive for any kind of being to survive out here in your... current state..."]
["Oh, well... I just ate the wolves."]
[Jill: "So that's why we've spotted so few of them lately..."]
Really? To believe I could decimate an entire wolf population...
[Mu: "So then, if you aren't human, what race are you?"]
["I'm not entirely sure of that either, but if you can believe this status window, I should be a dragon..."]
[Jill: "But Elder, the only dragon in this region was the Dragon Emperor, but I heard he's been slain!"]
[Mu: "Yes, I also heard that Fafnir was slain... Peculiar, very peculiar..."]
["Oh, if that's the case... then this Fenrir might be my parent..."]
[Mu: "Okay... wait... WHAT!!!"]
["Yeah, next to my name, it says *son of Fanfnir* and it is true that I woke up next to a huge dragon-corpse."]
The elder began a maddening laugh which in retrospect is kind of understandable.
[Mu: "GUAHAHHAHAHAHA!!! To think I would meet the descendant of one of the most powerful beings to ever walk on Ashor!
Ren, please feel at home in this village. It would be my honor."
["Ehh? Alright... I'll take you up on that offer!"]
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And so Ren spent a few weeks at the village of the Lizardmen before a messenger would arrive...

8 164Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 198OutRage: Total Realism.
What happens when a game company strives for total immersion and realism from a VRMMO?Players require food, sleep, personal hygeine, air to breathe and everything else required for life. The up side is that its still a game, Players respawn, can use magic, can basically do anything they want with obvious exceptions like: not going to prison for assassinating a ruling monarch, not that you cant do it only that its very hard to do.In comes our protagonist a university student majoring in the sciences, namely chemistry.His name is Henry Jacobs, 19 years old and a complete loner.A new VRMMO game was annouced and it bragged and boasted about how it would be the first in a new era of VR gaming as it would give the game a total of 100% realism, meaning when you get hit it hurts, when you walk into a dungeon full of zombies it will stink as you'd expect like rottting corpses. This game is titled Outrage: Total Realism. Which was a joke made by the publishers knowing how most people would be either excited or enraged.

*Not good for kids under 18. Gore and such. I mean it. Unless you can handle it. I can. I'm the author.* Have you ever wondered what life would be like as a heros weapon? "Where is this place?!" Steven was your ordinary person. Had a good life, job, family, he had is good. That was until he died. Not by a truck, falling, or heart attack. He was murdered. That was the time when his life got hella alot worse. Now being able to turn into a sword and a shield, he makes the oath to find his way back home, convince his sister that he's her brother, and maybe pick up a Harem of two along the way. *Contains reference to other Royal Road stuff, and anime and manga.* (Some has been rewritten to make sense)
