What human's here!
four humans' walked into the grub room. Two of them are male and the rest are female. The one who walked through first is a tower of a man who looks like he would eat you for breakfast. He had brown hair and brown eye's he also wielded a heavy axe.
He eyed the room warily the next person who walked through the doorway was a black haired girl with blue eye's.
The other two that walked through the doorway where blonde humans that looked like siblings. They both had brown eyes and I wouldn't be surprised if they were twins.
As they entered the room They spoke in a dialect that I didn't understand the seemed frustrated?
They all walked into the room and the man with an axe walked over to one of the grubs grabbed it and put it in a container. He repeated this act and not before long about half of the grub's were in a few bottles on the ground. They proceed to place the grub bottles into a large backpack.
*Thud* *thud* *thud*
Footsteps sounded down the hallway getting closer by the minute the humans were now screaming at each other and turned to run but it was too late.
''SCREEEEEEEEEE CLACK CLACK CLACK''
A titanic beetle smashed down the wall and with hatred in its eye's. It rushed toward's the human's one of the siblings at this moment brought out a crystal and held it up into the sky.
Everyone except me and the siblings was pushed down into the ground by some invisible force. One of the siblings ran forward and grabbed the bag and cut the leg's of their ''comrade's.'' Turning away the siblings ran turning into my weasel form I ran after them. But as I was just about to leave I noticed that one of the humans held what looked like a crystal orb. I could feel the energy beating from it like a heartbeat. Dammit, no pain no gain I ran forward and snatched the Crystal before any of them noticed me. I dashed as I ran away I looked back to see the effects of the Crystal the siblings used was starting to wear off. The beetle starting to stand up I ran out of the nest as fast as I could. I heard the screams in the background. As I ran I smiled as I looked into the distance I could see the siblings running. I cached up to them soon though since four legs are better than two. I turned into a pile of sand and like a shark followed them the siblings didn't talk for the entire journey and when night fell they made camp in sombre silence.

As they sat there in silence I set to looking at the crystal orb inside me it pulsed with so much energy that I knew that I would not be able to absorb it whole. But I wonder if I could absorb only a part of it?
I reached inside my self and grabbed a strand of black energy. Leading it outside my self I reached to the orb and stared to digest it. I stopped about 5 seconds later since I knew that this was my limit I stared the absorption process. And slowly absorbed it all. It took a while because for some reason this energy was harder to absorb. After I finished absorbing the energy I felt full for the first time since my rebirth. I felt like there was no more room to improve.
I used my aura to absorb a little more energy ahhh my core's in constant pain. I release the excess energy from my core and the pain lessened.
''Hello I am back you have met the requirement's to evolve please choose the following evolution path's.''
Ahhh your back what evolution paths are there that I can choose
''You can choose three paths you can either choose the path of death the path of sand or the path of godhood. Choose wisely.''
What is the path of godhood
''The path of godhood will immediately give you the powers of a god but you will never get stronger no matter how hard you try.''
OK, I'm not choosing that what about the path of sand.
'' The path of sand will give you complete control of sand and stone you can create living creatures made out of sand and stone if you can progress further down this path you will gain the truth about your species the sand elementals.''
What about the path of death.
''The path of death. It is your true calling.''
What?
''Error outside influence y-y-you have chosen the path of death error new path available incarnate of the god of destruction commencing evolution.''
Before I could do anything my world went black this seems to be an uncomfortable trend.
I awoke sometime later in what seemed to be a glass container I look around to realize that I'm in some kind of shop. Around me I could see that there were other containers all containing some kind of black sand. Looking at myself I realize that my sand has turned black.

System what happened
No response damn I look around I realize that I am on a shelf. A massive eye entered my view a pair of hand's grabbed me and pulled me from the shelf. And with me in hand walked to what looked like a counter. Where an elderly man stood the person holding me spoke a few words with the elderly man. It was muffled through the glass, so I didn't hear what the person said.
The person tossed a few gold coins on to table the elderly man nodded his head and walked away before coming back with a crystal. And touched the jar where I was contained.
Something that looked like a seal on my jar flashed and fell apart the person caring me turned around and walked away.
..............................................................
As I walked home with the black sand in my arm's I knew that once I give the sand to my baby son he would start his journey as a cultivator of the sand arts. There was a small chance that he would die but that chance was negligible. As I got home I thought about all the things my son will accomplish because he was born with a rare special body called Dragon's Body. It gives the person with this body incredible strength defence and the ability to breathe fire. If their energy is channelled in a certain way. And in the legends, it's even rumoured that if they reach a high enough level in cultivation they will be able to turn into a dragon a rule the skies.
As I started to walk up the stairs of my mansion I looked around at the paintings and sculptures we are a wealthy family and with my son, we will rule the golden dunes.
..................................................
The person brought me to a massive house opening the door and walking inside the house the interior wasn't any less grand. With painting and sculptures everywhere. Maid's and butler's rushed beside up but not before bowing to us as we passed by. Entering a courtyard where a man was practising with a sword. They Shouted something to the man he turned to us with a smile on his face. And rushed over hugging the person that was holding me. She nearly dropped me both of the human's walked to a room where a baby was sleeping the man picked the baby up. The humans walked to another room this time it was what looked like an alter. The person holding me shouted something and 4 butlers entered the room. The man placed the baby into the alter. And the person holding me opened the jar tilting me to the side I fell out of the jar down into the alter. I got a better look at the person who was holding me it seemed to be a woman probably the mother of the baby and the man must be the father.
The mother and father duo started to mumble some words and the water I was in started to glow. The butlers' stated to mumble something too. And the baby started to glow as well. My sand body was sucked into the baby. Once I was inside the baby I felt like I could take control of the baby. And I somehow knew that if I didn't I would be absorbed by this baby body. So I took control. I felt my aura attack the child's mind and replace it with my own mind. After about a minute the process was complete. And I opened my eye's.

He woke up one day, only to be greeted by a floating panel of light. [Name: ... Marcus][Race: ... Human][Class: ... ... ...] [Hero] [Welcome to the System] What is a village-born Hero to do, but answer his calling? Current schedule: No chapters for the next few months. I'm still writing the entirety of Volume 2. WARNINGS:-Yes, this contains LitRPG elements after a slow start, promise.-This work is incredibly Slice-of-Life heavy-Also conversation heavy-Also plot heavy (But not in that way, unfortunately)-The pacing in terms of plot is slow -(Edit after a review)- This story is also known as: I honestly don't understand what's the difference between "light" and "dark" stories. I realized that far too late, so this story is... weird. It might be light at times, and dark at times, and in all honesty, definitely has dark undertones. Oh, and prepare to be disappointed or pleased by this story; I understand that this story is polarizing, at least. Cover made by: Fei (@Chippy03966650) / Twitter

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
