《A Curious Bird》16. Human

The child was still staring at him.
Not that he could tell her to stop since he doubt that she could speak owl. Besides, Aariv's attention was mostly the faint glow that the girl has around her which could be described as pure and beautiful.
Though, if he squints closely at the glow, he could barely see faint traces of other colors around the edge of the white, pure glow. Faint, but still could be seen.
Aariv then felt that his danger sense went off, and immediately prepare himself for combat as he turns his head around, looking around for the danger, surprising the little girl.
He spotted the danger, a man dressed in a cloak with leather armor, armed with a bow that was nocked with an arrow that was aimed at him. The man flinched in surprise as he saw Aariv staring at him.
His glow was green, like the forest itself but duller. There were hints of blood red and grey, but not the dull, bland grey the animals had, it was like that of unmoveable steel.

The man launches the arrow at Aariv to which the owl dodged and glare at the man and was about to fire off a fireball at the man before he stops himself.
Killing the man wasn't worth it. After all, there was someone that would witness him killing the man and she would tell people about the murder and that would make people try and kill him on sight. Then he would have to kill the little girl which wou—

'Wait. Why am I thinking about killing so easily? One of them is a kid for fuck sake!' And why was I so ready to kill him?' Aariv shook his head and dodge another arrow.
The man, Robin yelled something at the child that Aariv couldn't understand, causing her to run away, after the little girl ran away, the man pointed his bow at Aariv only to see that he wasn't there.
Aariv had already flown away from the scene, still thinking about how easily he had been thinking about killing the two people that he had just met.
The owl sigh, looking at his own reflection in a pond and try to forget about what just happen. However, there was one thing that was on his mind.
What should he do when he encounters more humans?
When he first encounters humans, Aariv flew away from them, and the second time, he was shot at. Then again, he can't exactly blame him, with his antlers, and creepy eyes that he had noticed, along with the way that the feathers around his face make it look like he was wearing his mask, Aariv could see that he looked very creepy and unsettling.
It didn't exactly scream friendly.
"Just how am I going to do," Aariv groan. "I need a way for people to not be afraid of me but I just don't know how." He felt like that there was an answer on the tip of his tongue but he couldn't figure out what it was.
And then there was that glow...That pure beautiful glow...
Aariv shook his head. "Focus Aariv, focus, don't get off track. How do we make people not afraid of me?" He questions. "...Let's look at what skills I have that can help me."

"Let see...no, no, not that, no...Wait [Hynopsis]? How in the world did I forget this! This is what I needed!" Aariv yells. "If people are afraid of me, I can just hypnosis them to not be afraid of me! Though it may take a while before the hypnosis takes effect I can just level it up."
Then he could finally find human civilization and eat normal food, and finally have been able to—
Wait...On the topic of human, will he ever regain his human body or at least be able to have a human form?
Aariv looks at his wings. "It would be nice to have hands again..." He sighs. "Let just focus on leveling up [Hynposis]. Besides, if I continue evolving, I should be able to be similar to that of a human."
And with, he took off, flying through the sky, while grabbing a rabbit for a snack for which he admitted was starting to become a habit.

Broken Interface
A Post-Apocalyptic LITrpg / progression fantasy. Synopsis Early one morning, the world ended. The devastating Alpha Event rewrote the very laws of reality itself, transforming peaceful cities and communities into sprawling hellscapes filled with flesh-eating zombies - and worse! For Daniel, a Zombie Apocalypse couldn’t have happened at a worse time. If he’d been back at the farm, he might have stood a better chance than most. Instead, Daniel woke up in a distant hotel room armed with nothing but a hangover. To add insult to injury, as he and other survivors shelter for safety in their hotel, Daniel discovers another misfortune. To help guide them through the horrors of this new reality, each suvivor is supposed to have been grafted with an interface - a guide to help them level up, develop their skills, and better understand the world around them. Daniel’s is broken. Nevertheless, this new reality has gifted Daniel with other strange, new powers - powers which could enable him to unite what other survivors they can find into a force capable of surviving in this cruel, new world. Kernal is the first book in the Broken Interface series, set in Alex Kozlowski’s Alpha Physics Universe - described by readers as “a breath of fresh air” in the LitRPG genre, with stories that are “human, thought out, and realistic.” Style. Single third person POV, LITRPG, with gore, adult themes but no explicit sexual content. Warning. There will be a cute pet.

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

The Troll of Oium: A Norse Saga
The lands of Midgard have grown cold and choked with ice as freezing mist covers all. Only a sacrifice can bring the warmth of summer, one from each tribe of Germa in their turn until The Vargr Tribe's treachery forces all into war. But in the mitts of battle, something rages beneath a Jarl's skin turning his skin gray, eyes red, and bringing forth a craving for flesh. All the while Odin guides the future, preparing for the visions plaguing him for a millennium. A black-furred wolf, large like a mammoth, and a necromancer with green flames burning in his eyes would come for him. The battle's name would be Ragnarök and will end the world unless he claims victory by any means necessary.
