《A Curious Bird》19. Hateful Drake
Advertisement
Aariv was starting to get bored.
He had been following the group of humanoids for several hours now, only stopping due to him getting hungry. Heck, he levels up to two, that how long he has been following them. All, they've been doing is killing monsters and gathering plants and they didn't give him a single chance to hypnotize them since they never leave each other's side.
Aariv sighs. It would seem that he would forcefully separate them if he wanted to have a chance to hypnotize one of them.
He could kill just all but one and just hypnotize the survivor into helping him. He was after all, stronger than them, but...Come on, he wasn't a monster, they hadn't try and harm him, yet.
Now...How does he go about splitting them up? Hmm...He'll have to a quick look at what skills he has right now before making a decision.

Opening up his stats, and scanning through his skills, Aariv formed a plan. He was gonna formed some fog to obscure their visions and then—
Where the fuck were they? Aariv's head rapidly moves around as he tries and spots where the group is. "Fuck," He curses as he spread his wings and took flight.
The owl flew through the forest looking for the humans, dwarf, and elves and found them setting up camps and it was nighttime. Aariv angrily ate the horned rabbit he just caught as he stared at them.
"Finally found ya," Aariv mutter. He waited for them to finishes setting up camps, and for them to go to sleep. After a while, they finally went to sleep, each going inside a tent.
Aariv noted that out of the five, only the mage didn't share a tent with someone. He jumps down and flew silently toward the tent, he landed on the land and peek into the wizard's tent.

Inside the tent, was the mage turning around and around as he try and sleeps. Aariv however, didn't try and step one foot into the tent. Why? Why because his instinct keeps telling him that he shouldn't.
He then proceeds to activates [Mana Sight], reasoning that whatever inside the tent that was setting his danger sense off, had something to do with magic because that was a mage in the tent, and magic needs mana. Using the skill, Aariv saw...Nothing, he spotted nothing.
The only traces of mana that he could see was the fucking mage himself!
So why were his senses telling him that he shouldn't step into the tent? Why? Why? "Fuck it, I'm getting out here," Aariv hisses. He steps away from the tent away and was starting to fly when he saw the ground shaking.
Aariv watches in horror as the scales face of a drake erupt from the ground and crawled out of the ground, crushing the tent that the mage was in, killing the mage.
The drake then proceeds to throw back its head and let out a roar that sent Aariv flying and caused him to slammed his back into a tree. The owl let out a grunt of pain as he slides to the ground.

It was the same drake, it was the same GODDAM FUCKING DRAKE! It had the same stats, same levels and it was here messing up his plans!
Aariv was so caught in his anger that he didn't notice that everyone in the tents rushing out of their tents. The Earth Drake glances at them and lets out another roar, spikes erupted out of the ground killing the human, dwarfs, and elves.
When he saw what the drake did, Aariv gave the drake one hateful glare before he ran. His plans ruined, and his pride was broken.

Where did I wake up?
A pretty standard story about a man that gets transferred to a new world, and gains a system to help him survive. This is pretty close to the first draft of this story, so there will be grammar mistakes until I get down to fixing them. Synopsis, genre and tags will also change as I get more writing done. I will try to release two to three short chapters a week. I don't own the cover image; it is just something I found online.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.
