【 Level up conditions been met: LVL 11 >> LVL 14】
6 more to earn a skill level up.
It's been 7 hours after we killed those kobolds. We targeted the goblins next and I earn 2 level. After it we encounter some pack of great wolves and I got another level. Then we attack the golem roaming around, I didn't level up this time, and right now we just killed some Treants.
"Still no level up."
"Hmm... I'm seeing a strange cave right now." (Loki)
"Cave? Where? What of it?"
"Monsters are gathering there." (Loki)
"Can we defeat them?"
"Hmm, maybe. They're just goblins, kobolds and slimes." (Loki)
"Then let's go."
Me and Loki go to the strange cave.
➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖ ➖
We've reach our destination and currently hiding in a bush surveying the surroundings.
"Parasite."
I silently chant my skill, the flowers in the surroundings bloom and releases pollens to the monsters outside the cave. After a while, one by one, they all fainted.
"Hmm, guess they're dead." (Loki)
"Let's go."
I ready my staff and head straight inside the cave.
Loki took out a dagger since his skills aren't useful in a enclose space.
"Root bind!"
Goblins are strangled by thick roots.
Since the path is straight, monsters are coming in one direction.
We steadily progress without any casualties.
"Milord are you gonna be okay? You used so much magic today, maybe we should rest." (Loki)
"I'm okay! I can still ran."
After training with Vox-sensei, I can somehow control my mana consumption so that I don't lose consciousness when I used too much mana.
"Then milord, what should we do now?" (Loki)
Me and Loki found two paths.

"Hmm, how about we split?" (Loki)
"Eh? But how about you?"
"I'm okay, since the monsters are weak I can fight on my own." (Loki)
"Really?"
"I'm sure milord!" (Loki)
"Then be safe! Let's go!"
Loki took the left path and I took the right path.
After separating, I didn't encounter any monsters.
I've been walking half an hour and no sign of any monster.
Until I found a huge space and a huge door.
I got the feeling that this place is bad.
"Kukuku!!"
I heard something above me.
I look up and I saw about twenty giant centipedes.
"This is really bad!"
One after another they all drop from the ceiling.
"Khisss~!"
"Overgrowth!"
I stuck the staff on the ground and a magic circle appeared together with huge roots crawling towards the centipedes.
"They are sure nimble!"
With their hundred legs they escape my roots and start to crawl towards me.
"Parasite!"
Flowers appeared from the roots and erupt an explosion of pollens.
"Hmm? Nothing's happening?!"
The centipedes didn't even slow down, they continued their chase to me.
"I completely forgot, centipedes has poison themselves. Guess they have resistance towards it."
I took my staff from the ground and used overgrowth again.
Roots appeared creating a tall tower with me in the top.
"Snake vine!"
I summon five snakes to confront the climbing centipedes.
The snakes manage to kill one but only two snakes remained.
"If that's the case, I'll try this skill! Snake vine! Overgrowth!"
I touch my root foothold and let my mana flow in it.
The tower slowly turn to a root dragon, with long slender wooden body, yellow eyes and a flowing root as whiskers on its nose, it's back are overgrown by leaves that represents a mane. And I'm standing on top of its forehead.

"Go!"
The root dragon roared and started to charge towards the centipedes crushing several of them.
【 Level up conditions been met: LVL 14 >> LVL 15 】
Shrieking sound of crushed centipedes resounds in the room.
After great havoc of the root dragon all of them are annihilated.
If Loki encountered this, I don't think he will survive. But Loki is good at escaping somehow.
【 Level up conditions been met: LVL 15 >> LVL 16 】
The door then slowly opened with a creaking sound.
I'm a little tired but I am still go on, I haven't met Loki yet and maybe he's in that room.
I ordered the root dragon to enter, a dark room and only the crystal chandelier emits a faint glow.
"I think this is a boss room."
*clap *clap
"VERY GOOD!!! VERY GOOD!!" (???)
Floating blue lanterns appeared suddenly and brighten the room.
"Welcome to my dungeon! Let me introduce myself, I'm Casp, the demon phantom." (Casp)
"Dungeon? What clan are you?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Fool! This is a dungeon, lord Pride had given me! Now prepare to die so I can eat your soul! HAHA" (Casp)
"Pride eh! Demon clan!"
"Let the show begin!" (Casp)

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

Time Can't Heal This
I've always hated the saying "Time heals all wounds." Maybe in most cases that may be true. In my experience with life and pain however, time has only ever bled out the wound. The scars that the wounds left behind though, are often so deep that just looking at them becomes painful to the mind. Time only heals what you let go of. Sometimes letting go and moving on just doesn't feel possible; no matter how much time you let pass you by.These poems signify what time hasn't healed for me.
