《Fear: Ever-Changing and Evolving》Chapter 3 - Familiar Contract?!
Advertisement
Suddenly, a glowing blue light enveloped me. Before I could even think, I found myself in a new location: A F***ING CAGE!!! I then saw who summoned me: it was a young girl!
She was wearing a beautiful blue dress with that went down to her ankles. She had pretty green eyes and light brown hair that reached her shoulders. She had a short stature, about 5'2", and appeared to be about 10 years old.
Judging from the way she is dressed, I think I can assume that she is a noble of some sort, perhaps even royalty! Oh, she's talking to someone. Hey, why do you look so scared? What is it?! IS THERE SOMETHING ON MH FACE?!?!
Wait...she's pointing at me a shaking...I'M SCARING HER??!
I suddenly notice that there is a mirror on the wall. Reflecting off of it is a horrifying sight: there's a HUGE snake with pitch black scales! It has creepy orange eyes and is giving off an faintly visible reddish purple aura, and it is AT LEAST 8 or 9 feet long! IS THAT ME?!?!
...I look badass...
YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED THE NAME "FEAR": WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACCEPT THIS NAME? Y / N
YES!! That name is EXACTLY what I want!
NAME ACCEPTED: YOU HAVE FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR EVOLUTION: THERE IS 1 PATH CURRENTLY AVAILABLE: BEGINNING EVOLUTION
I suddenly glow with a red light and my body begins to change. Surprisingly, it isn't painful this time!
Then it hit me...WHY AM I EVOLVING AGAIN?!?! ALL I DID WAS GET A NAME!!!
Screw it! I'll just roll with it!
*BOOOOOOOOMMM*
A massive shockwave emits from my body as the red light fades. I then look in the mirror again and I am shocked: I BECAME A FREAKIN' BASILISK!!! I then made the mistake of looking at my own eyes. Basilisks can kill with their eyes!

Crap.
I collapse to the ground, my life force beginning to drain, when I get a notification.
YOU HAVE BEEN OFFERED A FAMILIAR CONTRACT: THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO STAY ALIVE. DO YOU ACCEPT? Y / N
YES YES YES YES!!! I CAN'T DIE YET!!!!
FAMILIAR CONTRACT ACCEPTED: YOU ARE NOW THE OFFICIAL FAMILIAR OF PRINCESS ALYSSA THORNSTRIKE
I feel myself coming back to life, ever so slowly. Once I have recovered, I noticed that the Princess and the man standing with her are staring at me in shock. The man tries to say something, but I don't understand him. Then, the Princess begins to talk, and I somehow understand her! Perhaps it's because of the familiar contract!
"Do you understand me?"
I nod my head.
The Princess gasps, and then calms down.
"Why did one as powerful as you accept the familiar contract of a failure like me?"
Huh? Failure? Seriously? Wait, one of her titles is seriously "Failure Princess"!
I speak back to her through the telepathy created by our contract.
"I didn't have a choice: I looked at my eyes in the reflection and nearly died."
The Princess's jaw drops, and she stares at me. She then starts laughing.
"What's so funny?!"
"I've never heard of a Basilisk nearly killing itself with it's own stare! Hahahahah!!"
Grrrr...this girl...WHY DID I HAVE TO BECOME A FAMILIAR!!!????

Is That A Wisp?
Author’s Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It’s at that point that the book’s charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!).

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.

SuperTraveler: Lost in Another World
Rejected by his world, a mulleted teen who lives his life as a caricature of his old man's glory days is forced to take care of a dragon's princess. These two normal people, at least normal unto their respective worlds, struggle to cope with becoming the monsters that a bunch of mad gods need them to be. Do they side with the insane god escaping the organic clockwork of Death, the god who wants to destroy that evil, or perhaps, a third option? Content Warning: This will depict substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, and will likely become an ongoing list of content advisories. This is going to be an adventure-centric story, not a battle fantasy. It's got elements of LitRPG and standard isekai, but not for the MC. He's got a different path to follow, one without power-leveling and harems.
