Chapter 8: A Legend born from blood
Artemis roars loudly. She notices most of the players present lose 20-40% hp. Due to this, she then decides to attempt to annihilate them all. She goes to fire a breath attack, but instead of releasing it, she charges the shot up. Particles of light gathering towards her mouth, and super compressing itself into a orb. Thin rings of light surround it, making it look like a depiction of an atom.
Seeing his men still stunned from the roar, the main tank of the party activates his last ditch save spell/skill, one he almost never uses.
The man yells > which makes him invulnerable for a short period of time. [Author Note: yes I took this from log horizon] He stood close to the dragon, and slammed his massive tower shield down, attempting to take the hit.
He gets hit with a blinding light. When he can see again, he notices something that makes him scared for his life, for the first time since he's started the game. As if it was a wedge from his point as the tip, everyone not behind him was gone. Wiped out, erased. It's not like any of them were weak; in fact most of them were level 300-400. The leader of the party being level 500. They feared nothing. Until now, that is.
The dungeon was blasted open by the sheer power of the attack that he managed to deflect. There was a massive hole in the mountain, that once covered the dungeon. Artemis was unable to move for a while due to the recoil of the attack, but the enemy didn't know that, and took this chance to flee for their lives.
They all managed to make it to the grasslands nearby, before Artemis could move again. She decides to fly to them and lands in the middle of them, squishing a few under her feet like ants. She then proceeded to use her tail like a flail and a whip to attack the remaining players that were behind her.

She purposely made everyone but the enemy leader die. Before confronting him, she knew she couldn't kill him forever, so she decided to make it so he never tried this shit again. She forces her dragon form to condense back into a Demi-Human Form. However, this one isn't like her normal form.
Through sheer willpower, she forced the system to give her transformation skill another Form: a Dragonoidal Human Form. She looked beautiful in this form. Her scales make her look like a living work of art, and in this form she had 80% of the stats she had in her full Dragon Form, which was a unexpected perk.
Artemis slowly walked towards the leader of the raid. Like a cat playing with a mouse, she began to torment him, both physically and mentally... by the time he finally died, the once green fields that surrounded him were crimson. Due to her habit from her real form, she goes to lick her dragon claws in order to clean them of the blood which made her even scarier.
Almost instantly, the last ones to die released a video their pods automatically captured of her that shown everything that happened from a hour before to an hour after they got killed by her, it was a system put in place to prevent misuse of pk. It recorded a log of the hour before, and after, of your killer in a third person's perspective as evidence in case they keep spawn killing, etc.
Of course uploading that data was illegal, but they didn't care. INSTANTLY the forums metaphorically exploded with activity. The thread instantly became stickied, and became the number one viewed thread on the forums.
People started to call her "The Goddess of The Hunt", due to how she killed all the idiots that dared draw her ire. Some started calling her "The Goddess of Animals", due to her shape shifting. No one knew who she was, they just wanted to know one thing: "Who was she?"

Meanwhile in Hired Heroes [also known as H4H]'s Vent(Vent = Ventrilo its a Voice chat system) [Notice: This chat never happened but all the people listed in it are real and me and agentXshadow are a member of said guild]
Selraym: Hey, have you heard about the Crimson Grassland massacre yet?
Nibor: No, I haven't.
Tacman98: That's 'cause your a fucking casual gosh
Tenks: I haven't heard of it either... what happened Sel?
Selraym: Some scrubs fucked with the wrong person, said person turns into a dragon, everyone dies.
Eveechan: It wasn't just any dragon, Sel. It was a White Celestial Dragon.
Miriflower: Ooooh I want a pretty dragon!
Zhorge: You can't have one, Miri. Now get back to doing your homework.
Miriflower: But daaaaad!
Zhorge: No buts!
Ackreon: When the hell did someone manage to get a dragon transformation?!
Rome: I don't know, but I'm sure glad it wasn't me she was facing.
agentXshadow: I wouldn't mind fighting that dragon. Seems like fun!
Yeavon: Challenge accepted.
agentXshadow: ....fuck
Artemis went back to where she left the body of her friend, Erica, and takes her to a beautiful spot that overlooks a gorgeous sunset, and buries her. She offers a prayer to whatever Gods exist in this world that aren't total assholes, like XiX, that she can be reunited with her son.
After paying her respects, she transforms into her full Dragon Form and flies off, wanting a change of pace from all the bullshit she went through today, in hopes to forget the pain and sorrow for a moment, when she suddenly hears softly due to the distance she had from the ground "elp e!" Confused, she lowers her altitude for a bit to get a better listen, and hears a young child crying and yelling for help.
Artemis, not warning to frighten the child in her Dragon Form, changes into her Demi-Human Form mid-air. After noticing what she needs help with, she saw with her enhanced vision before transforming a high level player chasing a little girl. She could tell that it was a player as well, due to her dialog with the man begging him not to kill her, and that she didn't have a lot of japtem or gold on her, that it wasn't worth killing her and getting the murderers mark.
Artemis, after aiming correctly, and like I stated above, transforming into her Demi-Human Form, falls perfectly in line with the idiot attempting to kill a child. Artemis used > to negate her fall damage, and at the same time uses the fall to explosively raise her physical damage by 1000%, thus negating her debuff for that hit on the idiot, and buffing her damage by 500%. If that wasn't bad enough for the poor sap, it was a fatal hit. Instantly killing him, granted it was quite obvious it was fatal since the man looked like a Unicorn due to where she hit the guy on the head.
The girl instantly breaks out into laughter at the scene, and instantly stops when she sees the person who saved her.
???: "A-Artemis?.... Is that really you? I thought you were at the Crypts of the Damned"
Artemis hearing her name turns to see....

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!

Flynn was a normal college student with a normal routine. Wake up, go to school, come home, do homework, laze around until midnight, lay in bed trying not to let the existential dread of inevitable death set it, and go to sleep. Completely normal stuff, really. That is until he mysteriously wakes up in a space between dimensions with game-like prompts demanding he purchase skills before he is sent off to another world. And look at that, it only takes 95% of his skill points to buy the [Eternal Youth] skill, what a steal! Too bad that in this new world there is no civilization, uh… anywhere. ---------------- Hey all, this is just a side project I’m working on in my spare time so I don’t get burned out while writing my more planned out stories.
