"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.

Aariv check the description.

Aariv found that he no longer had to keep locking eyes with a target to keep them hypnotized. Wanting to test this immediately he captures another test subject, a mouse, and uses [Hypnosis] on it. However, he found that the time for the mice to be hypnotize was reset to two minutes. "How annoying," Aariv mutters as he observes the subject. "So it seems I have to level it up again."

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?

Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
