《Absolute Power》Chapter 7

15/365 days
I don’t even remember when I came here. But according to Morgan its only been 15 days. I can’t even form a proper sense about time because all I have been doing is fighting and recuperating from my injuries. And keeping track of time in any of these situations is very difficult
Today Morgan dropped an info bomb on me again. He said that today was the only day I was not completely unconscious after reaching my burrow. If I had heard about this a little sooner, then I wouldn’t have to almost die to kill an injured Lv 11 hobgoblin.
According to him after any creature reach level 10, they gain a massive amount of EXP. Some use it to gain a new skill whereas some use it to directly reach or be infinitesimally close to Lv 11. There are a few species who can use that EXP to increase all their attribute simultaneously by 5 – 10 points. And the reason why any of this didn’t happen to me was because I wasn’t there to choose my direction, so the system did a lottery with a few options and “upgrade system” won. I am so glad I didn’t change my species or squander such a huge EXP for just my attributes.

I have finally formed a basic fighting style centered around Freyja and my legs. I realized that I was not using my legs enough after Freyja was knocked out of my hand while fighting a Lv 20 Troll.
I thought that I could kick it in the nuts and the grab Freyja, but that asshole wasn’t having any of it. It sacrificed its balls to get an extra hit on me. The only reason I survived was because my Martial All-rounder skill was at (basic) Lv 3, which gave me a 20% increase in attack power while using my legs, and the new skill I learned 10 days ago.
It is called body refinement. It’s the skill I can level-up fastest. All you need to do to level up is experience a certain amount of force using different parts of my body. For others, it is very difficult and costly to practice as you need someone to carefully measure the amount of force experience by various body parts, so there is least imbalance possible between them. But all I need to do is get beat up as much as I can, without dying of course.
Why? Simple, because I have the godly Morgan system. Due to his presence, my body acts more like an RPG game's character’s body. Due to this the damage done to any of my body parts is felt by my whole body and the amount of damage is equally spread.
Though there are some exceptions, like if someone hit me with such a huge force that it can severe my arm instantly, then my arm will be severed before Morgan could redistribute the damage.

“Morgan, why are magic skills so costly? Most of the magic skills are centred around 3500 sp but they are a mixture of weak and strong skills.”
[Aarav, its very simple. You are going to be a defender of Earth if you pass the trail. You are not a ruler or general who can sit back and command his armies. You can create your army if you want, but it will take a huge amount of rare resources and time. So, most defenders do it after they are strong enough to face the first few waves of the pesky demons alone. Also, only after a few waves, the number of weaklings is so much that they can affect the flow of battle.

As such you will be on the front lines most of the time, so being physically weak is not an option.
Magicians are versatile and very useful. They can single-handedly change the outcome of a battle, but those magicians have been given enough time and resources to bloom. And by enough time, I mean centuries. The richest country on Earth can’t even support a single Lv 100 magician.
The company seeks to profit by your and earth’s survival. You will be clearer about it after you pass the trial. So, focus on doing that.]

Today I am in a very happy mood. I completed a new hidden mission. It is called One-Man-Army 2. I got it after I fought an army comprised of more than 5,000 Lv 25 – Lv 27 Ogre Warriors and Ogre Shamans.
I had obtained part one when I had killed over 500 lv 10 earth gnomes a long time ago. And it gave me a 30% bonus to all my attributes while fighting any kind of group with more than 100 people, so I was looking forward to its upgrade very eagerly.
Now I get a 50% bonus while fighting a group with more than 100 people.
But after today I have decided to improve my curse resistance. I Almost died a few times because of no skill for curse resistance, but fortunately, there was only one that actually hit me. But fortunately, it was just a mental curse for degrading your morals and changing you into a submissive slave.
Since I formed a soul bond with Freyja, my soul attribute has been increasing by 1 point every day and now it is at 114 points and my willpower is 35 points. So, nothing happened except a nasty headache.
I have already wiped out four armies since I have come here, and I have become very proficient in doing this. I wonder if I will complete some kind of hidden achievement after defeating 5 armies.

“Mrs Red Dragon, please don’t struggle so much and sign a summoning pact with me. You know that we can do this the whole day.”
The 10 meters long western dragon, which at some point in time was covered in beautiful and shining red scales, was now red due to all the blood flowing out from her various wounds surrounded by broken scales and scratch marks.
I was not in a much better shape either. My left hand was looking more like a meat paste than a human limb. My whole body was covered with varying degrees of burn. Even Freyja was hurt, though she kept recovering easily by absorbing the red dragon’s blood.
“Look I don’t want you to be my slave or anything. You can see that I already have a soul partner and how strong our bond is. No one can ever use Freyja as a weapon, unless both of us want it.”
The glare didn’t diminish but at least she didn’t attack. I have realized that being solo can only bring you so far. I need help to complete this trial. And I thought what would be a better partner than a dragon.
“I want us to be partners. You must have noticed that there is a very large gap between Lv 100 and Lv 101, right?
We will eventually get there unless we do something stupid and die. But it will take a long time. I am very short on time and that is true for every creature in this dimension.”

I looked directly into her eyes with all my conviction and said, “Please, I request you to be my soul partner.”
Suddenly Mrs Dragon started shining like crazy, and without thinking about anything else I rushed out of her cave so that I could have a better chance of surviving whatever was to come.
After some time of waiting and running my paranoia-o-creator at full speed nothing happened. Just as I started relaxing my vigilance a very beautiful and charming mature woman appeared at the entrance of the cave.
Her whole body seemed to be covered in shades of red. Her long and wavy maroon hair, her scarlet plump lips and those deep eyes that seemed held the most crimson flame I had ever seen in my life. I realized that I was staring at her completely inappropriately. But her curves were way too much for a virgin boy like me. Finally, exhausting every ounce of mental energy I had, I moved my eyes away from her body.
It was the first and the last time I loved someone at first sight. Why? Simply because no one could ever compare to my wives in terms of looks….at least in my eyes.
“You sure have guts to propose a dragon to be your soul partner while completely showing off your bond with your soul partner.”
She licked her lips, and I swear to gods that it is the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life. She appeared in front of me in a flash. But since I couldn’t feel any hostility, so I didn’t move away.
“But I like your power and your honesty. And it’s also a bonus that you are a virgin, so I Emilia Ri Scarlet of house Scarlet Fire Dragons, agree to be your soul partner forever and ever.”
She gently lifted my chin with her finger and gave me the best french kiss in the world. After that everything became a beautiful blur in my memory. I could feel our emotions mixing together. My curiosity and fear about the unknown, her confidence and excitement. Slowly before we even realized it, it changed from my to ours.
And at the end all I saw was a pair of beautiful crimson eyes, which filled with incomparable warmth, gently coaxing me to sleep. So, I closed my eyes and let myself go.
Later I would realize that I have lost my virginity today as well as I have taken a fire dragon as my wife. I was devasted because I couldn’t remember anything, but Emilia helped me recreate the memory sometime later.
On this very day, I was also the creator of a yandere scythe, who likes to rape me in my own mind whenever there’s a chance. But thanks to that my willpower increased by a few points, so I just thought of it as a blessing in disguise. I mean the sex was awesome so...................

“Morgan help me buy that Elixir.”
Although 10,000 sp is a lot but if it can save Valerie, I have no regrets. And this Elixir will not only heal her but add 40 years more to her life. It will also make her body reach the most peak state she ever was, so it should also make her look around 25 years old. Not only that, if she trains her body then she will gain twice the benefit with half the effort.
A pretty good deal if I say so myself.
[Aarav you got a free lucky draw ticket because you have bought 50 items that cost 300 sp or more.]
“Most of them are soul condensing pills for a certain childish weapon, who only knows how to trouble her partner. Am I right Aarav?” A smoky voice sounded beside my ear.
It always baffles me how much Emilia’s behaviour around me has changed within a couple of months. Although it has changed her personality at all, but she always tries her best to act as a capable and reliable figure in front me.
The only catch is that Emilia and Freyja don’t like each other a lot. Although they don’t hate each other but they bicker at every chance they get. And my mind has become the battlefield for them.
‘You homewrecker! If not for your big, fat and useless body, how could master waste so many sp on fire element crystals.’
‘Did you just call me fat? You flat chested bitch, I hope your boobs never grow.’ I have become very efficient at ignoring their stupidity after repeated exposure.
According to them, I’m the one at fault as I am trying to create a harem. I wanted to let them know that it all started with a misunderstanding, but whenever I looked at those warmth filled crimson eyes, my resolve to take the truth to grave became stronger and stronger.
“Morgan start the lucky draw.”
Darkness surrounds me and a wheel appears in front of me. There are six options on it and the wheel starts spinning at a high speed. But now due to my improved attributes, I can somewhat make out the different sections on the wheel.
I give a quick prayer, aim at the skill book section, and throw the dart as accurately as I can.
The wheel comes to a stop and a smile breaks out on my face because I notice that the dart is very close to the boundary of skill book section. A few more millimetres and I would miss one more chance for skills.
The dart appears in my hand again. The sections on the wheel blur for a second and clear up to show countless sections with countless skills.
I throw the dart without much thinking because this part truly depends on the luck.
Last time I got a pencil from the miscellaneous section and it felt pretty bad.
[Congratulations, you have obtained the skill book Galaxy’s Birth. Practising this skill requires absorbing energy in a regulated manner either from a sun, moon, or star. According to the lore, a person can give birth to a galaxy inside their body core / dantian if they practice this skill to the pinnacle.]
“How will this skill affect my status panel?”
[This skill increases your energy level, as well as energy regen and that in turn, will affect all your attributes. But again, this skill requires a lot of time and patience.]
“Morgan, I would like to learn it.”
[Aye]

Origin Point
Arc 1 - Azzarath:Origin Point begins with a celebration of the arrival of an Immortal, male kitsune. Whereupon he begins to spin the tale of his origins to a gathered crowd well into such a celebration. The story he weaves begins upon his first world, our Earth, where his first body is dying from something incurable. He is then transferred into a game-like world, and gains a new body that is far stronger. However, this game-like world has its own secrets, which causes the MC to be summoned to a new world. It is here, in this new world, where his personality really comes forth, shaking the world to its very core.Arc 2 - Terra:The story continues with the kitsune's new audience, an army of monsters, as they journey from the forests of Nu'Bai and onwards towards the Lichdom known solely as Necropolis. Whereupon they learn of how he conquered worlds within an area known only as The Abyss. There, his past self meets new creatures and annoyances, as he and his continue to grow ever closer to obtaining their world called Terra. Arc 3 - Abyss:War. The end result in a conflict of words which fall upon deafened ears of those who could not come to an understanding; an agreement. Instead, they must fight one another so that one must come out on top in order to shout to the heavens, "I am right; you are wrong!" Thus is the same in this installment within the series of Origin Point, but instead of outright war, the Ageless speaks to a new audience of Gods, Goddesses, Immortals, and their children of how his past self had to venture into the tutorial world known as Terra where he must fight a War of Attrition. This is so, as he must draw out the God reigning over their world so that he may fight and conquer this deity in order to regain what he desires most. His world. His Terra.Special Thanks to Christian Bentulan for creating the covers for Origin Point.https://www.facebook.com/coversbychristian/___________________________________________________________Origin Point was inspired by the games Everquest and D&D, along with the book series Dragonlance, and the light novel Overlord.This story is a dark fantasy full of torturous experiences. It is not for everyone, but it is tempered with some fluff.
8 481Raising a Mutant: A Young Superman (and friends) Hurt/Comfort Adoption Fic
A 13-year-old boy's father is arrested for child abuse shortly after his mother's death, and a new family takes him in. (Begins after rescue; no violence in story) Based on the Smallville universe, but reads well fandom-blind. Sweet, fluffy family story, with some dark moments.
8 272Falling Through the Cracks
After falling through a rather unexpected crack in the universe that spawned under his bed, Alex finds himself in a world filled with monsters and magic. Now instead of worrying about SATs and college applications, he only has demons, magic and rips though the very fabric of the universe to occupy his mind. Quite a bit easier in his opinion. This story has abuse, trama and brushes breifly on suicide. I`ll try to include warnings on chapters that deal heavily in any of those. I’m also a very new writer, so please let me know of any mistakes you see! Updates Mondays and Thursdays Image credit: Credit: NASA, JPL-Caltech/S.

8 83Lord of Undeath
Having woken up under the overgrown soil of the earth, he no longer walks among the living. Vast and mysterious world sprawls before his eyes, almost like an empty canvas waiting to be filled. But even a white canvas has its flaws. Unlike him who no longer hungers, tires and thirst, they tread this world. The weakness incarnate, fathers of desire, jealousy and destruction. They whom tarnish his world and bring upon unimaginable hatred. Thus, be it demons, dragons or humans. Come... Come and take salvation that he brings and join the shrouded path of the unknown. Before the foundation of life itself crumbles under his grasp and a new one rises, bend your knee and heed the call of that who has arisen. Break what binds you to this earth and join him in unlife, for he is the Lord of Undeath. I do not own the cover. If the artist wishes for me to remove it, I will.
