《Hades' Evolution》Chapter 9 Council of Lilith
Advertisement
So I did what any other sensible person would do, I hid in the nearest igloo and hoped the Lizardfolk could take care of the rest, no matter how much I really really REALLY want that reward, I’d rather live to receive it.
Chapter start
“FUCK SORRY FOR INTRUDIN-” I yelled as I woke up from what seemed to have been a bad dream only to be met by the sight of my leaf hut, and a very very concerned goblina and lizard, tbh I can’t tell what Leo is thinking yet, his species using mandibles are not helping my ability to gather anything from him in terms of facial expressions. But I’d like to say he is at least a little concerned for my wellbeing
Wait… wasn’t I doing something?
Leo helpfully addressed that issue “How’d the Crowning challenge go? Did you manage to evolve?”
Right, that…” last I remember I was barging into an igloo, then I saw the unholiness of several holes and what some want to call the miracle of procreation of a different species, then it all kind of went black, I’m not sure what happened the rest of the challenge”
“Maybe you have any hints in your notifications? Also, too much info..” Para helpfully chimed in a little flustered
“Oh yeah, forgot about those, thanks Para”
DELPHI CIVILIAN SLAIN (LVL 8)
DELPHI SOLDIER SLAIN (LVL 12)
DELPHI FARMER SLAIN (LVL 9)
DELPHI SOLDIER SLAIN (LVL 15)
WE GET IT! I KILLED…. A LOT! In total it turned out I had killed around 47 Delphi, which is again another can of whoopsie for my future mental health to deal with.
DELPHI MAGE ‘Atherton Krais’ SLAIN (LVL 47)
Now I feel like I should remember this. Being in a death battle with the single most powerful member of their species 1: sounds fucking badass! And 2:REALLY DANGEROUS!
Now I know I’ve said some weird stuff while sleeping but I’ve never gone and made another species completely extinct

I looked around but honestly, I couldn’t find any of these items, except for a pile of meat. I’m proud of my hut and all but it’s no mansion, so unless Leo is big enough to sit on all these items I think I’ve been cheated. AT LEAST GIVE ME THE ITEMS IF I’M NOT GONNA REMEMBER EXTERMINATING A SPECIES OF YETI! In one way I’ve done more damage to any species than any singular human being… not sure how to feel about that…
“Did either of you find a pile of items when I came back here? Everything that happened in the challenge is blank but I was supposed to have been rewarded a book, a cloak and a gem”

Both started looking around the tent but came up blank. This is some huge Bull-
Wait! I should’ve finished reading the notifications!

the symbiote stored inside your body take control, this lasts until the symbiote gives back control to the owner of the body. This skill can be activated by either host or symbiote
I’ve got a feeling I know what happened. But this scares me, so my creation can take over my body whenever it chooses? I guess this isn’t much different from before though, it had been able to help me when I was fighting the ShellCharger and DayBirds but this level of control is kind of uncomfortable. I woke up unharmed and with a lot of experience, and with all these items I’ll be able to do a lot more when it comes to helping Para. But I still exterminated another species, there had been over 400 living, breathing, thinking… loving humanoids. Thinking about the pair I walked in on and then probably… killed in my rampage made me sick to my stomach, not exactly the time you expect to die, but I was guessing they were doing it as a form of last act before they died anyway, they died doing what they love I guess… each other
Still, I killed a fifth of the species on my own. Or technically it wasn’t me, but that isn’t comforting me at the moment.
“Hey. hey. HEY! You alright? You’ve been staring blankly for a while, did you get hurt out there?” I looked up seeing Para a little too close
“Physically I’m fine, but to be honest, killing all those people didn’t sit well with me. It’s probably fine, let’s head to bed, I have some tools to help make you better so I’ll start with that tomorrow” I tried reassuring her, explaining it didn’t sit well with me because I used to be one was something for a later date.
“Alright, tell me if I can help with anything, preferably something that doesn’t require too much muscle though,” Para said while releasing a weak cough
Finally, I ended another night of hectic action and another batch of new things to digest as well as a couple of new mental scars.
As I closed my eyes and let good old Mr.sandman bring me my dreams

...
I Think Mr Sand needs some better fantasy because a dream of sitting in a teacher’s lunchroom with a long table isn’t very exciting. At least I’m in my old body, my ‘totally ’sexy beautiful body.
“If you’re quite done, ogling yourself let’s get this meeting underway” The female voice was the same as Ethra’s and it comes from a see-through woman of purple weak purple light wearing a victorian style large dress, sipping tea that was sitting to my right.
To my left I saw what looked like a small green child with long hair, he wasn’t wearing any clothes but there wasn’t anything there, not that I was looking. I’ve had enough of involuntarily seeing reproductive organs for one rebirth.
“Mommy’s here! I’m sorry for taking over, I was just soooo hungry, and I couldn’t control myself” the little child was looking rather concerned towards me, like a child that had been caught when they accidentally broke a glass. This is my symbiote then, my creation. Except for killing me, I feel a sense of pride knowing that he can make coherent sentences!
“Alright, so this is like a council… in my dream between the different entities hosted in my body I’m guessing, I know who you and my symbiote are but who is the last person?” I looked towards Ethra, as it seemed as though she was the one who called this meeting
There is one more person at the teacher’s conference, but they aren’t…moving at all, no breathing or looking around there is just a blacked-out…. Person?
“We have unfortunately not gotten contact with our last comrade, however, I believe as you keep getting stronger we will eventually find out who this is” Ethra replied
“Fair I guess? I’m glad you called this though, I’ve been wanted to talk to the both of you for a couple of days, especially after what just happened tonight” I looked towards my symbiote at the end of that, he still looks nervous
“We feel the same, there are many things we need to discuss. First of all, am I correct to assume that your name is Lilith and that we have been resurrected as a goblin?” Ethra started with
“Yupp yupp, a system called Hades’ reincarnated us and have effected all other programs I’ve been a part of since”
“All other programs? How many are we a part of?”
“All of them, I think”
“ALL OF THEM!? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?”
“DON’T YELL IN MY DREAM! I can feel a headache coming. But I really don’t know how it happened but it’s happened and it seems to be letting me grow in power from all angles but from what I understand I have a diet version of all the other programs, I can evolve like other monsters but instead of doing it through the crowning challenge I have to level up until it max before I can evolve”
“How peculiar… I suppose this is their way of ‘balancing’ you so you aren’t growing at unprecedented rates”
“Quick question, how do you know so many terms and the style of dress you’re currently using that are from my race…” I gave her a sly look at that
“We don’t have time for chasing that line of thought right now, I believe your symbiote had the word next!”
She dodged that. And not well mind you. But I really couldn’t take the puppy dog eyes from my symbiote anymore myself to be fair
“Hey listen uuuh Sim, I don’t understand what you mean when you say you couldn’t control yourself, but at the same time. I don’t believe that a slime symbiote born days ago could lie either. I’m only gonna ask that you try to warn me, now that I know what happens if you don’t get fed, I’ll attempt to make sure you don’t go hungry. I would rather not let my child go hungry after all” I tried to bring all the warmth of a mother in that, not having a great example myself, I don’t know how well it came across
“Sim? Is that my name? I like it!” he completely forgot about the rest of what I said, but he isn’t sulking anymore which is a plus!
“Alright that works, now I would love to you know, actually get a mental rest. So let’s put this discussion on the ice. And pick it up a night where I’m not getting almost killed” I looked around and the 2 others nodded with the 3rd still not moving.
So with that, I put in a prayer for a peaceful night. I have a lot to do tomorrow with trying to make medicine for Para

Mists of Redemption
In the twenty years since the Gates opened and began releasing hordes of monsters onto Earth, half the human population had been killed, governments collapsed, and a new breed of enhanced humans evolved to protect us — Hunters. The day after I graduated from high school, I tested positive as a Hunter. The weakest Hunter in human history. In a society where the strong rule and the weak become prey, it was a death sentence. I knew that, but I wasn’t going to just roll over and die. Pitted daily against monsters I couldn’t kill and ostracized by other Hunters, my miserable existence changed when I heard five words. ‘I will make you stronger.’ A ‘System’ attached to my soul, one that allowed me to level up and become stronger. But the ‘System’ wanted something from me. All I wanted was to live and enable my family to eat. The price was to become a tool for someone else’s revenge. Note from the author: Chapters are going to be released every Monday and Friday morning. Keep a look out!

Vampire and the Implausible Cube
Valerie finds herself stranded in a fantastical land of magic, with unknown dangers and no possessions aside from a mysterious, Rubiks Cube-looking silver object that follows her around no matter where her adventures take her and proves to be an invaluable, albeit stoic travel companion. However, things aren't as simple as they first seem, as she soon discovers a newfound thirst for blood, a society built upon strength to combat the oddly intelligent and cunning amalgamations of various creatures cropping out of the woodwork, as well as a hatred for all creatures magical; including her. Author's Note: Just a fun little side project that popped up in my mind after reading a bunch of isekai and wanting to write my own. If there turns out to be demand, however, then I shall turn this into my main project and deliver content more regularly.

R.E.N/D
In the 22nd Century the world has become a technological dystopia. Mankind has never been closer to godhood, but it has come at the cost of nature and its very humanity. Giant megapolis supercities cover the globe where countries once were, and the United Nations fights an ever-losing battle to regulate giant corporations too wealthy and powerful to be controlled. Aiden King, a young man from the megapolis known as England, has scored 100% on every exam he's ever taken. When he applies to join the United Nations Intelligence Service, they jump at the chance to recruit him - but they have far loftier ambitions for him than making him a simple Analyst. They invite him to join R.E.N/D: the Research, Engage and Neutralize Division - a secret anti-terrorism and intelligence organization founded to foster closer relations between the U.N and rival megacorps. Jumping at the chance to be part of something so great, Aiden accepts their offer. He had no idea the pain and misfortune that awaited him. Sometime later, Aiden wakes up. He has no memory of how he got there or what happened to him - all he knows is that now he's a monster, and R.E.N/D's special operatives will stop at nothing to kill him.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
