《ELECTUS - A tale of Peaceful Demons.》9th Source
Advertisement
Noticing how Mogranius is having it painfully hard to comprehend all of this, the old geezer here described. "I never kid around, well maybe I do but this time I don't. Demons are trying to wipe out Ignis, they want our Demonite."
Sealing the clear verge of crazy, he also added. "They almost got the Demonite while Becky was getting you here, but I bit off their necks. Tihihihihi."
"You sound insane!" Whispered Mogranius while watching his father speak, not knowing what to do. Should he laugh or cry.
Fairly submissive to this topic, the old man cited. "Oh I know that, it's the Demonite. I've been near it too long. It gave me a longer life but I'm losing it son."
Having it hard to comprehend everything, Mogranius was forced to Ignore a prime fact so he put it into word. "The Demonite prolongs life?"
Stating the obvious, the old man counted. "Yes but it drains the brain juice plus I did spend 246 years in this underwater cave."
"But you sacrificed yourself..." Mogranius expressed, stretching the last word and grabbing his father's shoulder he added. "I couldn't be more proud of you but I did miss you a lot."
With the bond growing firmer, understanding between madness vigilant, the old crazy man sighed out and uttered. "I missed you too son, what have you been up to. Betzy saw that you are mentoring another Electus now, I lost track of you for 200 years and you hop out humping yet another Electus."
Noticing the heavy confusion, Mogranius rained his finger like he is used too and corrected. "Dad, the current Electus is a boy, a kid too."
Jerking his view to the left, his father answered. "Oh right I forgot about that."
Trying to squeeze information out of this man who could know a lot or has completely lost it, taking the chances Mogranius puzzled. "You know how Kastaria vanished from existence? Tell me more about that."
Using hand and leg movements to be descriptive, the old man weighed in key facts. "Yes I saw it all happen, well more like the fish and birds did as I saw it from their eyes. But everything kept exploding so I needed to browse through many animals!"

Shedding light upon why he asked such a question, Mogranius recited. "I'm asking about Kastaria, because I teleported 200 years into the future."
Using his fingers to count 200 years, although he just took a second and 2 fingers to do it, the old man asked with a shout! "Don't tell me she tried it while Kastaria was being destroyed!"
Smiling, a bit happy that his crazy father can catch up, Mogranius detailed. "She did it while Kastaria was being destroyed."
Grabbing his son's shoulders and shaking him to the core, rather powerful for an old man, screaming enhanced after! "No no no. Are your organs intact? I saw people with feet on their head! Do you have feet in your ass?!"
Escaping the death grip, Mogranius shouted back. "The only bad thing about this teleportation, is entering this hell hole of a time zone."
Thinking of something else, the crazy old man completely shifted the topic. "This civil war is small like a bug considering the trouble ahead which is bigger than Becky!"
Following along, Mogranius expressed. "Oh, I don't think anything is bigger than becky."
Completely submerging towards the upcoming dangers, the old man describes. "Look son, the Peaceful Demons from another dimension had barely any information of what the 9 Earth Demons were doing here so long ago."
Continuing, walking deeper into the cave with Mogranius following, the geezer mumbled. "They were supposed to know everything about progression once the 9 Earth Demons returned to their Demonic Dimension."
Stopping in place as if hitting a wall, the sack of crazy cited. "But due to a failed experiment, they became part of the earth, literally. They have transformed into stone from head to toe."
Considering the topic, Mogranius recalled the only Earth Demon he knows and therefore asking. "Oh so that 400,000 year old Demon lady was being literal about the turning to stone part?"
Trying to excuse that lady's behaviour, the much knowledgeable mad old man has to add. "Indeed she was, but don't mind her craziness. She beat all 8 of the actual Inner Demons of her dimension, of her specific species, with little side effects while the Sources have beaten one Inner Demon each!"

Setting the scale of comparison, the geezer started yelling from the top of his lungs. "What Inner Demons the people of Earth face is but a hundredth in comparison compared to what she faced."
Catching on, a question invaded Mogranius sense of thinking so he has to know more about it. "So she is more powerful than all 8 of the sources?"
Revealing a grand fact, that only few know, the geezer explained. "Yes. If she wasn't there to handle half of the impact the failed experiment resulted, this world would crumble into dust."
This situation pecking at every level of his perception, Mogranius managed to puzzle together. "So if she dies?"
Closing his eyes, the crazy old man mouthed. "The world shatters into nothingness."
Taking a minute to comprehend all of this, Mogranius later asked. "But she won't die? Right?!"
Still well knowledged, the old man explained. "She is immortal but the 8 sources give her life. If the enemies wipe out all 8 of the sources, she dies."
"And the world dies along with her, she is the main source. The 9th!" This whole situation is very messed up, and Mogranius did not fail to express it although him throwing a tantrum won't stop the Demons. "How the hell do they want to start fresh if there won't be anything to start fresh on if they succeed with their plans?!"
But of course able to shed light in the midst of nonsense, the crazy old man doesn't sound so crazy anymore. "They don't have any information about this. All they are doing is sending their minions down here on earth to search for the sources.
A wide smile echoing across the old man's face, he described. "However here, the Demons are mortal, killable and completely unaware of where the sources are."
Happy, hope breaking in the midst of chaos, Mogranius' tone shed to a bliss as he asked. "So that means they didn't find the other sources yet?"
Happy about it as well, his father explained. "They didn't as even I can't find them. Better, most Demons can't resist being close enough to the sources without perishing from existence, Humans can't resist either except me and becky and apparently you as well. Look, you didn't explode yet tihihihi."
Pissed, Mogranius judged his father's decisions head on. "You dragged me down here even though you weren't certain if I can be near the source or not?"
Unraveling destiny, the geezer excuses. "Well you are my son so you had half a chance to have these specific genes which is a risk I was willing to take for a greater cause."
Curious, wanting to fight off stereotypes, Mogranius queries. "So I'm blessed with Demonic powers?"
Pointing it out, the old man describes. "Well you were since birth. You are a Fire Controller, but you have more power than you think."
His attention caught but now his curiosity peaked as well, Mogranius finds it reasonable to believe this crazy old man and therefore asking. "What sorts of powers do I have?"
Completely ignoring his son's question, the long bearded fella continued making the points he wanted to make. "Powers are meeting an evolution after so many centuries, you are one of the evolved. Any of the evolved are blessed to be near Demonite and not perish, even an Electus can't do that!"
Continuing to explain without waiting for Mogranius to speak, the geezer cited. "You already defeated the Inner Demon of rage so expect new powers soon unlike for those who didn't have any sort of power before, for them it's all based on luck."
Curious, Mogranius needs to know more as there is no other person who can share such information. "What other powers could there possibly be based on rage?"

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
8 319No Absolution, An Antagonist LitRPG
Colin is bored out of his skull and has been getting more and more restless of late, and his wife, McKenna, has noticed. To help, she decided to get him one of the most sought after devices on the planet, A headset for the Ineffable Gaming System and its revolutionary game Rosengard Worldwide. The most advanced virtual reality video game and the only one with a near-perfect total immersion system, McKenna hoped that the activity in the game could help him overcome his boredom for the foreseeable future. On his first day in the game, he's betrayed for loot, killed, and even made to suffer. Unknown to these players, Colin (DevilWalker in-game) was an Assassin for hire that takes loyalty and betrayal seriously. It was never just about business, and this was not just another aspect of the game for him. This game was a gift from his wife, and he wasn't just going to stop. Now these players and anyone who harbors them are on his list. There will be no compromise, no remorse, and No Absolution to any who betrays Colin Drummond, The DevilWalker. * * * * * * * * * * This story is a LitRPG Action/Adventure story that will feature levels, skills, abilities, monsters, douchebag players, exciting and cool equipment with so much more. I have so much planned for this that it should be fun and entertaining for readers who enjoy the LitRPG genre as much as I do. Please join me as I recount the tale of a man who becomes a legend — both in-game and out of it. I plan to attempt a weekly update schedule. Upload Sunday evening(for me). Warning! This story will involve some amount of cussing to help add some realism and some insinuated sex that will fade to black the moment the fun begins. I am hoping to mostly keep this Rated PG-13 with maybe a few Chapters going rated-R due to language.
