《Celestial Beings: Evolution》Stage 1: Fight Fight! I (Chapter 4)
Advertisement
I was panicking, I hadn't allocated any of my Stat Points since Aly rushed towards a large Bang, and honestly, I have no idea what it was. It was most likely a result of a fight, although, who could produce a Bang, like an explosion - magic? If it's magic, I'm beyond jealous.
Aly was a few steps ahead by now, she's either a Battle Junkie or... well she's most likely a Battle Junkie.
We were here, and the findings were... strange. There was a group of maybe 8 lesser beings, whom ranged from Green - Red.
bang
This time I saw the bang in person. As did Aly. We made a mistake. Two of the Greens used magic. Both fire. Shit a brick.
I tugged on Aly, but she didn't want to move, she didn't even move forward or backwards, she's frozen. I didn't want to leave Aly, we can't join this fight so we had to run. We had no option. I used [Search] on both the Green people.
[Leo] - Lesser Being: Level 8.
[Io] - Lesser Being: Level 9.
danger
All I could think of was danger. On the bright side, my [Search] skill could now mention species which is great.
What do I do, I dragged Eloxus with me and now we both are in serious danger. We're done for. I don't know what to do, I can't move. My body and mind won't cooperate with eachother. I don't want this to be the end.
[Celestial Aurora is interested in your actions]
Aurora? Celestials? Nows the not the time! We're both going to die if we don't do anything. What good is it if we die here? Someone help us. I'm sorry Eloxus this is all my fault. I assumed someone was on the verge of death so it would be free experience.

Does she not understand that I'm only Red? I haven't done anything by myself, I've only been here for a couple of days and done nothing by myself.
I looked up - nothing. The bright yellow shone down, piercing my eyes.
After the two Green Magicians killed the six Lesser Beings alone, they changed their targets onto Eloxus and Aly. They both started chanting their magic.

The flames were both targetting Aly, as they assumed she was the weakest. Eloxus was able to grab her and move her out of the way. Both the Green guys were startled, instead they ran up to them both.
Aly finally moved, although she didn't run away, she ran to them both, Eloxus had no chance but to follow.
Although Aly was in a daze, she thought on the spot and assumed they both invested into Wisdom, that's why they were able to get magic so quickly, unlike Aly. Aly almost invested all of her points into Agility, and a few in Wisdom, here were the results.
[Aly] Level Three
[Species] Lesser Being
[Class] None
[Instrument] Aurora is intrigued.
[Unspent Points] 0
[Agility] 11
[Endurance] 1
[Strength] 1
[Vitality] 1
[Wisdom] 6
[General Skills]
[Limitless Communication] Beginner - Level Zero
[Search] Beginner - Level Two
[Species Skills] None
[Class Skills] None
Although Aly was scared, which was evident on her face; she also had a spur of confidence, and she didn't know where from.
I was starstruck, where did Aly get this speed from? Was she only investing in speed? This had to be the case, anyways I need to focus. This combat seems serious in comparison to our fights against [Sand Worms], they were barely even able to hit us, we only became tired due to the fact that we had to exert quite a bit force since they had pretty tough skin.

Aly intercepted first, however, this wasn't a 2v2 anymore, it was a duel. Aly quickly hit him from the side, but no reaction, nothing, he didn't even budge. Alys reaction was all over her face, it was completley unexpected despite only having 1 Stat Point being invested in Strength. Although Aly could dodge if she was paying attention, but it was hard due to only investing in Agility, her Endurance wasn't there. Many people assumed Endurance would make the skin tougher, but they were wrong. It was also a Stamina stat but neither Eloxus or Aly knew that.
Aly's breath was going wild, she kept moving, never stopping, she didn't know why her body was deteriorating this fast, she only knew that it was happening.
The other fight was also taking place. Eloxus was actually holding up quite well despite the majority of his points going into Wisdom, he also assumed this was the case between these two, because why else would they be able to use Magic? He completely forgot about the potential of them two being Instruments, but luckily for him, they weren't.
Eloxus was hit. Through Eloxus's face twisted. It hurt like hell. He got back up, but could barely stand, he needed to use his Stat Points but he couldn't catch a break.
For once, he tried to use his head, what would happen if he ran to help Aly, and took him down, would we able to?
Eloxus thought this was his only chance, since there was no way he was able to kill them on his own. Eloxus was barely able to stand up, and Aly was completely flustered, she was on the defence. Although she sort of had the upperhand at the start of the battle, that was only because Aly was much faster in comparison, but that's all she had. She didn't have Strengh, Endurance or Vitality, and Wisdom right now proved to do nothing in this moment.
If anything, Eloxus and Aly was lucky the Green guys weren't that smart despite their Wisdom stat being high, if this was a range confrontation, they would have no other option other than to run.
If anything, it may have been better to run than fight with them, since this fight only lasted a few minutes and they were already on the verge of death.

God's Gambling Table
After the death of their father, six gods battle for the title of true god. As the battle rages on and the planet they govern begins to suffer, the weakest god proposes a change to the nature of their feud. A competition of sorts, a fight to the death by proxy. They would each choose a second and send them to their world. Last one standing wins. While the gods suspect foul-play; they realize that if they keep fighting as they have, they soon wouldn't have a world to rule. Unable to present any alternatives, the gods agree to this competition. NOTE: First time writing a long story like this one.

8 1173For a Change - A Slice of Life LitRPG
Change is constant. Starting over without your own memories? Connected to some System AI? Probably a pretty big change. Join Monday March as she attempts to deal with these changes and many others in a fantasy future with magic, monsters, AIs, and dating. Notes / Expectations: - About the writing style - Almost always First Person past tense (aside from the prologue), Chapters are short by design. Also, I'm not rushing to the conclusion, it's there, I'm in no hurry. - Genres - Fantasy is the most obvious umbrella, Action, Comedy, Romance, Psychological and everything else that makes a character into a comprehensive person will likely crop up, but won't be the main focus, at least not for hundreds of pages - Tags - Dungeon, Gender Bender (closer to gender themes), Post Apocalyptic and a few others might be a valid fit, but anything that doesn't fit most chapters will be set aside tag wise for now. Possible updates in the future if needed. - Content Warnings - While I want to write this story as accessible and friendly, sometimes a narrative gets messy, and sometimes people are naked, or get hurt either physically or mentally. Best to be prepared. As for cussing, well, our main character will avoid it. - Initial posting schedule is once a week, updates to the schedule will be posted here or in chapter notes.
