Abraha Desert
Aizen walked across the barren ground, watching the seemingly endless desert. He had to admit that this place was dangerous for any player.
───────────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹───────────────
Giant centipede
Level: 38
Info: A giant centipede that has adapted to the harsh desert environment.
───────────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹───────────────
Aizen sent dozens of arrows of wind towards the centipede.
*BOOMM!* *BOOMM!*
*Roar!*
The arrows tore holes in the giant centipede's body, causing it to roar in pain. The centipede tried to fight back with a lunge, but Aizen dodged the attack.
*BOOMM!* …
More wind arrows were fired, killing the giant centipede.
'No drops, huh.'
Aizen was a little disappointed. However, he was not discouraged, as he felt that this desert will bring him many benefits.
-
Aizen walked through the barren desert, killing any centipedes that got in his way. These centipedes were just the common monsters of this desert.
He also sent out waves of mana with a certain frequency, trying to figure something out.
*Roar!*
───────────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹───────────────
Centipede Abrah
Level: 40
Rating: King
───────────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹───────────────
'The big fish started to appear, huh.'
Abrah's centipede darted towards Aizen. Its size exceeds 6 meters.
Aizen tried to counter with wind magic, but the Centipede dove into the desert sand, dodging the attacks.
'What?'
*BOOMM!*
The centipede came out of the sand and tried to attack Aizen again. However, he dodged the attack, when Aizen tried to counterattack again, the centipede dove into the sand.
'Tsk!'
This centipede was much smarter than the others, its tactic was quite problematic, However, his size was also a disadvantage.
The centipede stayed underground, waiting for the best moment to attack, When he saw that Aizen was distracted, he tried to attack again.
'Got you.' Aizen fired the wind arrows at the exact moment the centipede came out of the underground.

*Swoosh!*
*Roar!*
The arrows pierced the centipede's body, causing it to roar in pain.
Aizen didn't waste this opportunity and shot towards the centipede, trying to finish the fight. The centipede sensed the danger and used a mana blast to push Aizen away.
'Mana?' Aizen was a little surprised.
The desert sand began to stir, the winds became furious. Many Sand "Tornadoes" were formed.
'Are you creating a sandstorm?'
Aizen's vision started to get impaired, he couldn't see very clearly due to the sandstorm.
'Shit!'
*BOOOMMM!*
The Centipede appeared behind Aizen, trying to eliminate him. Aizen made a magic shield to defend him from the attack.
'Did she get faster?' Aizen noticed that the centipede's speed increased.
*Swoosh!*
Aizen tried to shoot wind arrows at the centipede, but his attacks failed. His view was limited, he was at a territorial disadvantage.
The sand tornadoes headed towards Aizen. The force of the wind was strong enough to cut a normal human instantly.
'That won't work for me.' Aizen used the wind element to make the tornadoes disappear. However, several other tornadoes followed, if this continued, it would be a battle of attrition, and Aizen didn't want that. He had other ways out of this situation, though…
'This can also serve as training.' He wanted to enhance his senses and not rely so much on magic.
*Deep breath.*
Aizen closed his eyes and concentrated. The centipede took this opportunity to attack him.
*Slash!*
Aizen tried to dodge but was still injured. The centipede didn't stop attacking, causing minor injuries to Aizen's body.
Aizen tried his best to dodge the attacks just using his senses.
The sound of moving sand.
*Slash!*
The sense of danger.
*Slash!*
The air movement.
*Slash!*

'That's it!'
-
Aizen opened his eyes, his body was covered in cuts. However, he still kept a smile on his face.
The centipede tried to attack Aizen again, but he dodged it easily.
Aizen looked around at his surroundings with a twinkle in his eye.
'I feel… everything.'
Sand hurricanes, centipede movement, etc. He could detect all this with just his senses. It was a great improvement. Relying so much on mana could cause you to harm in the future.
'Well, magic is still much cooler.'
When the centipede tried to attack him again, he clenched his fists. A feeling of coldness began to emanate from his body.
'Die.'
Aizen touched the ground.
*BOOOMMM!*
An ice iceberg was created, freezing everything around it. The centipede tried to run away in a hurry, but it was too late.
The centipede was completely frozen.
"Well, I need to take care of this."
Aizen looked at his bloodied body with a serious expression, He took a healing potion from his inventory and drank it. His Wounds healed at a visible speed.
'Let's proceed.'
After healing his wounds, he shot towards the sky. He needed to find the source of those matrices. The person who did this was very strong, so Aizen was a little curious.
'Elves, huh.' Elizabeth said that elves are excellent magicians.
Most elves are born with greater magical abilities than most humans. Many call them "children of magic".

8 6647Tempest Rogue
This story follows Auron, a man who has been plagued with vivid nightmares his entire life. While running away from a beating, a splitting headache causes him to fall to his knees. Once again his nightmares bleed into reality. The next "episode" he has brings him from the scene of his nightmare, to a posionous swamp. To make matters worse his memories from earth are fading, and these nightmares that plagued his childhood, filled with darkness and a red coocoon, are back and worse than ever. As he clings to the only memories he has left, he is forced to fight through a world of brutal blood thirsty monsters, dungeons, and a complex magic system governed by an ancient agreement. First time writing any sort of story. Everything is still a work in progress. As I improve on my writing I will go back and edit parts. Early chapters are subject to change as I grow my ability. I am going to try my best to write this world and improve as I go. My goal is to make my dream come to life through the medium of text. This is why I wanted to post it here. Feel free to comment, and bring constructive criticism. Hope you enjoy! More info (Spoiler warning): only read if you are picky, read a lot, and want to waste no time with a story you may not want read. This book is a litrpg. This means it contains stat tables, and other game elements. (Which you may gloss over if you would like) It is written in a fantasy world, in the style of a progression fantasy. The main character grows in power as the story plays out. My characters are written to my best ability, but you may find them immature. The MC has to adjust to fighting, and killing which he struggles with for a while. His partner is a magical salamander who is a friend and mentor. The world building, monsters, and descriptions are also low tier. (I am working hard to change that!) If you are okay reading something by someone who is just getting started then welcome! I am doing my best, and incrementally improving as I go.
