Congratulations! Your Rank has advanced, Rank: F-
'Yes! I got a Rank!'
Meanwhile, in a kingdom.
A bright light enveloped the throne room. Tens figures of people appeared from the circle full of light. With the light gone, they open their eyes. Seeing the surrounding, their face is full of shock.
"Where are we?" One of them shouted.
They begin muttering with each other. Some have a look of fear on their face, some are exicted and determinated, some don't even care.
"Heroes. We will explain the current situation you are in. So calm down." An old man with a robe and long beard said.
Another person with a noble outfit walk forward and begin to talk "Heroes, we hav-
"Summoned to help the humans from another world to fight the Demon King! Aren't we?" A boy with a glasses that give an aura of a nerd said.
"Yes and no. However, I appreciate if you wait for another person to finish talking. Learn manners, boy. You are in front of the king." The man full of muscles and scars said while releasing bloodlust and moving forward with his fist clenched.
The summoned sensed the bloodlust and immediately feel chills down their spine. The glass-wearing boy cowers and begin to step behind.
"S-sorry, p-please forgive me!" The glass-wearing boy plead. Even after the boy plead, the musle man still continue walking forward.
A man with a crown on his head raised his hand, "Stop it, Devan. We need them to help us." he said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Devan turned around and bowed.
"So, I guess one of your friends already know what you are here for. We need you to help us to fight the demon king. But, only some will be the Heroes, the others will become the Servants who serve the Heroes. As for the Hero test, please follow me." The King said.

Obeying the King's words, the summoned followed him. Not even a single of them speak a word while following the King.
Zulnhar, a forest full of towering trees over 200 meters.
The inhabitants are the Wood Elves that resided in the trees. In one of the many tree, a pregnant female and male Wood Elf are holding a conversation.
"Layla, let's decide our children's name before their birth now. I, don't want to make a name without any plan. Poor Ellkasr...." The male Wood Elf said, while muttering the last word silently.
"Hey Ralik, I can hear that you know! Ellkasr is a good name for our son, he even cried tears of joys when he heard his own name! For this twin of ours, Malksr and Valksr is their name!" Layla said while being a little bit mad to her husband.
"NO! Please, don't. Hear me, my dear, we need to make a normal name. Just a normal name. We don't need a good name like that." Ralik said.
"Hmph, you have no naming sense." Layla grumbled.
'Yeah, of course mine is bad, but yours is much, much worse.' Ralik thought in his mind.
"Yeah, please forgive me and this bad naming sense of mine. Now then, let's start thinking their name!" Ralik said with a happy look on his face, ignoring the complaint of his wife.
In the peak of High Thalmor, a dragon's nest is made. The nest had 3 eggs. While their parents are wandering around the sky, searching for food.
'Where... Am I? It's so dark... Help... Me...' A silent help request that can't be heard by anyone is spoken.
A volcano with intense heat and magma, Halzor. With the title of 'Hell Volcano', it is the most active and dangerous volcano.
In the middle of the pool of magma, a single drop of magma defied the gravity as it flow upwards. A while later, a pair of eyes and a mouth appeared on the drop. Looking it's surrounding with it's newly acquired eyes, it open it's mouth.
"Where the fuck am I?"

Night Terror
Story is currently 'on hold' for an indefinite period of time - I will eventually post the whole thing when it's complete, see the news post for more details. After dying young, a man reincarnates into a new world as Abe Haruki. 'This whole world is suspicious...' Despite the fact that Haruki had never once met a god, even during his reincarnation, he couldn't help feeling that this world was just too... Intelligently designed? I mean, seriously... Levels? Classes? Stats? Items? You can even level up your abilities! 'Definitely suspicious...' Unfortunately, the Church have been keeping close tabs on him from the shadows. They've heard rumours of a boy, born with a golden ring. With magical affinities that defy logic. Darkness and light energies destroy each other, violently, so how does he have the affinity for both? Can Haruki live his peaceful life along side childhood friend Suzu? Or will they fall to the coming darkness? ::Author's note:: While there are stats and exp etc, it's not LitRPG. They are there, but not the focus in any way. The world is more hardcore - A human is soft, so a pierced lung should eventually kill them. Even though they have a small pool of HP, a single deadly blow can end it all. If you ever want to say G'day, I'm in the discord chat every now and then, so feel free to join the madness ;) Thanks for reading

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.

Re:Stoat
This story is utterly brutal, sick, twisted, and vile. Rape, Murder, Gore, Nature. Elephants rape and murder rhinos... I want to make this story twisted from the start. The world is a viscous and cruel place. My story is going to push limits. Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
