"So evolution is complete."
Aariv look around and saw that the sun was up, he then shook his head. "Those were my memories." He mutter. "Why did I remember more of my memories? Is this because of my evolution or is it something else?" He turns his head up. "I'll find out when I evolve again." He then turns his head to its proper position. "I should check my status. Status."

"So evolving put you back at Lv. 1" Aariv muses. "[Mana] is unlocked? Is this because hypno owls require mana to hypnosis?" He then decides to check his skills.

"So skills like [Stealth] and [Hypnosis] require [SP] and [Mana], while passive skills don't," Aariv said, he then narrows his eyes. "But what does it mean by manifesting will? I can't test this since it cost 200 [Mana], but I can test hypnosis but not before assigning my stat points." Aariv put 14 into [Wisdom], 4 in [Endurance], 2 in [Strength], and the rest in [Agility].

"Nothing had changed with the description but maybe the time for it to activate is shorter," Aariv said. To test this he captures another horned rabbit and uses [Hypnosis] on it taking less time for the rabbit to be hypnotized, taking a minute. "So it's true." Aariv grins and flew to search for more test subjects.

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

Writing test
So... It has come to my knowledge that I need a proper synopsis to post/save this so here goes a thing: Someone dies, and what comes after seems to be like one of those myths of old where you are brought to the afterlife, except, this particular soul's afterlife doesn't seem like it will be comfortable, will it? WARNING: I am only writing this because I want to see how long I can keep writing from here and I am only posting it in RR because I like the display. I advise you do not start reading it but if you do, know that I PROMISE NOTHING. Pd: I write in the night settings so it may be needed to see.
