Some of his feathers reached me under the ground. There are scratches in all my body, but the bigger wound is the feather that pierced through my left leg thigh.
[I think it was a good fight]
Maria talks to me while I treat my leg with my transmutation and the muddy water.
(If his transformation was something that could dig in the ground, this plan wouldn't have worked)
[You still have your last armor form]
(I shouldn't overuse it, the MP consumption of it will let me defenseless against other dangers)
[It will have to wait until you level up more]
...
After covering the scratches with bandages, I went inside the bunker to look after my guests.
“Did someone get hurt?“ Linjian
I spoke in the corridor.
“...We are fine“ Tang
They appeared in front of me.
“Did you really defeat the family head?“ Yue
“I just drove him away momentarily, we need to get out of here“ Linjian
“As expected of my master, lets go Tang“ Yue
“...I cant go with you any longer“ Tang
“What? why?“ Yue
“The reason they keep finding us is because of my spirit energy“ Tang
“No, that is...“ Yue
“It is the truth“ Tang
He looked at me.

“Please take care of...“
I can already know what he was going to say and because of that...
“Are you willing to give up your cultivation for a future with her?“
I propose a solution.
“!!!“ Tang
“What?!“ Yue
Maria already told me that the cultivators focus the remnants of souls in one point, and that place is obviously the Dantian. Taking it off should end the cultivation of any person.
“Can you do that?“ Tang
“I never did it before but it is possible“ Linjian
The Dantian is behind the Liver in the center of the body, theoretically I could take it off without killing him.
“Then please do it“
“Tang, are you sure about that? isn't strength everything to a cultivator?“ Yue
“That is not the kind of person I want to be“ Tang
[I like that attitude]
“Lay down on the bed“ Linjian
This will be hard to do while standing.
“This will hurt so be prepared“ Linjian
Once in the bedroom I explained the procedure to him.
“fuuu...I am ready“ Tang
He took off his upper clothes and now he was lying on the bed.

[Lets get started]
“Earth Manipulation“ Linjian
The skill secured him to the bed and after I used a scalpel from the medical kit to make an entrance for the earth.
“Uggh“ Tang
I control the soil to carefully grab the Dantian without hurting his organs.
“Arrrgh“ Tang
And I pull.
“GGGGHHHH!“ Tang
[You are not strong enough, you are only causing pain]
“Earth Knight“ Linjian
Only after boosting myself I could take the green stone off.

“...“ Tang
He lost consciousness.
[Appraise him]
I close the initial incision and...

(It worked)
I throw the Dantian to a side.
[I feel a bit sorry for him, we should...]
(I know, that was my plan all along)
I use Earth Manipulation to Centrifuge some Blood serum from a liter of my blood in a bottle and then I inject it to him with a syringe.
[This would be easier if you were a Blood type O]
I have to work with what I have.
(Tomorrow we will see if this works)
...
“How is Tang?“
A worried Yue was waiting in the corridor.
“He is sleeping now“ Linjian
“Haaa“ Yue
She seems relieved.
“We still need to leave this place, so take care of him while I grab my stuff“ Linjian
“Yes master“ Yue
“Lets see...“ Linjian
I put all my Mana Stones in a big Plastic bag, some food and water from the other room and I come back.
“So, how are we going to move around with Tang in this state?“ Yue
“I will move the entire bedroom“ Linjian
“What?“ Yue
I kick the Dantian out of the room and...
*brrr*
We start moving while covering our trail.
“Incredible“ Yue
I think northeast of here, there is a good place.

Fleabag
In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine seemingly like any other woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box.With knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine with every labored breath, it simply wished to live another day. Yet, in the bowels of a city built on metal corpses, nothing was ever simple. Of course, nobody said change would be simple, nor bloodless.And in the dark corners no one sees, in the shifting clouds of smog that none dare venture through, in the deepest reaches of the Dungeon that none but the mentally deranged dare challenge, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky. Are you tired of fun monster evolution stories where the monster becomes increasingly less monstrous, and eventually they're just a more spicy version of a human and it stops being a monster evolution story?Well, i am.So- insert thanos meme where he says "fine, i'll do it myself"[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.](The art in the book cover was made by an extremely talented artist named Chloe Bt, and she allowed me permission to use one of her renders as the main ingredient to my book cover, because she's fucking awesome.)
8 317Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.
8 143The Oath of Oblivion
Rane could draw power from the dead and make it his own. For some, such an arcane birthright would be a boon and a blessing. To Rane, it meant being forced on a path of bloodshed and death based on the whims of his slavers. To commit acts that went against every human instinct he retained. Years of torture and captivity have left his body weak and his mind in shambles, yet he still retains a few, fragmented memories. They hint at a life beyond what his prison and what his cruel masters have allowed him. At a family he's lost, and a promise he's already broken. To escape, Rane will have to face fierce beasts, unhinged mages and the true essence of what it means to be human. And as the peace between ancient kingdoms grows uneasy and the world plunges headfirst into madness, the cost of freedom might prove high. In the chaos of conflict and men’s ravenous ambitions, the true name of the world has been long forgotten. Nations wage bloody campaigns with remnants of ancestral magic while nature itself crumbles around them. Only one pillar of stability stands unshaken for millennia, anchoring the realm to balance. One single truth that no mage has yet to break. Oaths, once sworn, cannot be broken. Under the Arbiter's watchful eye, civilizations rise and crumble. People live and die. The words of the strong become law, and law shapes reality. And that is just the reality Rane has to change. Dark High Fantasy story with multiple alternating POVs. The first book is complete and chapters are released daily. Disclaimer: This is a zero to hero story. Don't come in expecting the main character to be powerful right away.

8 89the hero, the villain,and the profiteer
...*ahem*.... I have been on the site for a while and I have wanted to make my own piece of literature for this site so I'm going to do it here is what I will be making as my first one. Honestly the thought just popped into my head yesterday I rather enjoy several different kinds of stories on the site, so I found a way to do a little bit of each. I myself am a high-functioning autistic but that's only shows in my writing for the most part they look will be the occasional grammar mistake and missing apostrophes and periods I'm also using a speech to text feature on my computer that will occasionally slip up. Now for the synopsis of the story: your standard reincarnation seventh hero type deal but there is a little..... Slip up: parts of the person fractals creating several people;; A great-hearted hero, a savvy traveling merchant, and a sadist curious dungeon Lord. Critiques and people reading this is appreciated, I mostly just doing this for fun. And because this is somewhat important for some reason the cover art is not made by me I just got it from search engine. It also may change over time. im mostly following the dl becouse...i don't know.

Once again, the peace that was kept amongst the races was shaken. Yet Jezebel did not have a single remorse over his actions. Will this sin fall onto his son's head? But currently, this son of his is... ...sleeping in his dorm peacefully with drool trickling down the corner of his mouth. Little did his friends know that in the near future, such a light-hearted scene would be a luxury."
