《The Arcadia System》Level Up

Holding the main core of the slime, Reve sighed, "Whew, it's finally over."
The slimes were a common species but their abilities were far from common.
The reason they were not viewed as a dangerous threat was that their weaknesses were revealed to the masses.
As long as anyone remembers them, they would be able to take care of the slimes.
It was the same for Reve.
First, he could tell that the blue slime would be able to take care of the red lion cub.
Second, he understood the slime would be bloated when digesting the body of the cub.
It would be like a pregnant human woman. Weak and defenseless. That would be the time to strike!
Nonetheless, the slime's ability to absorb physical impact would deter if he were to strike.
Hence, he focused on attacking the "nucleus" of the slime, the main core.
Slimes were different from other magical creatures. They were formed from energy.
They had two bodies, the main body, and the outward body.
Just like their names, one was the real one, while the other one was like a suit of armor.
To enable a one-hit kill, he had to target the main body which was the core positioned at the center of the slime.
And he did just that!
.....
"Now, what do I do with this?" wondered Reve as he examined the blue ball on his palm.
"According to the books, slime cores could be used for different purposes. The most common one is to directly consume it, which would affect one's constitution positively or negatively. It is also the one with high risk."
Playing with the ball, Reve made up his mind, "I don't know the other methods. Also, that refers to humans. As a magical beast, I should have some degree of immunity. Meow. Moreover, it looks quite sweet."

Not wasting his time, Reve took a sizable bite from the slime core.
He felt a stinging pain on his tongue, but it wasn't enough to make him quit savoring the core.
After three bites, there was nothing left.
"Hmmmmm…..it has a natural fresh taste."
Rectangular silhouettes began to pop up on his face, accompanied by a familiar voice.

"Ahhh, I have ascended," commented Reve.
Due to the numerous catalysts, his body became twice as strong.
He reckoned he wouldn't be seeing something like this in a while.
Anyway, he was tired. All those planning took a toll on his mental mind.
He needed to sleep.
Softly, Reve climbed on a tall tree. He was lucky his claws were able to dig into the flesh of the tree.
As soon as he reached the top, he rested on a sturdy branch and closed his eyes.
It had been a rough day.
...…
First Island, Glasto Archipelago, Beast Continent.
It was a series of islands at the borders of the Beast Continent.
The magical creatures here were wild and uncivilized. Still, they were as strong as those in the forests of the main continent.
The First Island was closer to the other continents. Hence, it had its fair share of adventures looking to make its fortune on the island.

As daylight blessed the land once more, a certain cat nudged his lazy eyes open.
"A new day, huh? I'm still tired," yawned Reve.
He stopped his complaints as he noticed the downpour of rain.
The cold rain wet his fur but Reve was okay with it. He realized he had yet another reason to continue sleeping.
As he closed his eyes once more, his sixth sense managed to pick up on something.
"Meow, what is it this time?"
He looked on the ground and saw a group of figures. coming from the horizon.
Normally, his sixth sense shouldn't have been able to pick up their arrival but the noises they made were too loud to be ignored.
"Is that the cry of a baby?" mused Reve.
He drowned out the sound of raindrops and focused on the group.
Yes, it was the cry of a child. A human child!
As Reve had read about his location, he understood that it wasn't strange to see humans here.
He felt strange as he ascertained the race of the intruders.
They were humans, clothed in shining pieces of armor. They were clearly not here for fun.
Should he appear in front of them?
Just like Earth, they would now before an exquisite being like him, right?
Wait a minute, people of this world lack aesthetics. They can't comprehend his innate beauty.
If Myrna was here, she would scold them for that.
Whatever, it's their luck.
For now, he would ignore them.
He would never admit that he was scared of being turned into cat meat.
Also, this group was quite dumb. Who brings a human child to a place of slaughter?
Surely, this isn't how they train their children, is it?
The cries of that naughty child were attracting all sorts of troubles.
From his vantage point, he could see a large snake moving towards them.
He could see a blue slime sneaking up on them.
He could also see a small rodent spying on them.
It was a three-tag team!
Yet, the humans were so embroiled in specifying the human child that they failed to notice what they normally would have.
A smile arched on the cat's face.
He could understand why the neutral parties are always the ones to enjoy.
From his position, he hoped to see a fun fight!
That would teach the humans not to ignore his beauty!

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.

Yet Another RimWorld (Dropped)
*Fanfiction based on the game RimWorld*A more realistic take of RimWorld, where we follow the pawns that must struggle to survive in yet another Rimworld. Their stories, guided by a particularly playful narrator, will tell the tales of survival, defeat, gains, losses, triumph, and ultimately ruin. Trials faced by people, in places of various circumstances, will be observed and presented to its audience. What will be presented here are insignificant snippets of history, merely few of the innumerable tales and prospects to be found across this wide galaxy; The things we discover from these pawns, so many yet so few. Ultimately, they are just more drama meant for enjoyment, albeit in a twisted way. A/N:This is a fanfiction, based on the game "RimWorld". Using my personal gameplays as a basis for this fanfiction, in addition to some embellishments here and there. Unlike the silly antics that caused grave consequences if you had ever played RimWorld, my rendition will (hopefully) stay more grounded to reality, whereby no one will go beserk and dig up corpses if they can't eat on a table for 3 days in a row. That's all I need to say, you get the point. I'm writing this for fun. So please expect me to be inconsistent. Lastly, I am incredibly grateful to Tynan Sylvester for the game he created, "RimWorld", which is loved by many across the world and it will always remain a special place in my heart. For without his game, my work would not exist.
