《Celestial Beings: Evolution》Stage 1: Fight Fight! II (Chapter 5)
Advertisement
Eloxus did what he planned. He charged the newborn fighting Aly, and punched him in the face. The impact wasn't as good as he thought it would've been, but it hit - that's all that mattered. Aly quickly saw this opportunity and used both her fists to jab him in the sides. He fell. He wasn't dead, but he was near. Again, although Eloxus was beyond tired, he needed this newborn to die. A fist landed. At this point the Io was on floor pretty much unconscious, but not dead. Aly hit him twice again, however she was hit for the first time, completely unexpected.
Aly was shoved across the floor. She didn't get up. She couldn't. She was on Death's Door.
[Io has been defeated!]
[450 Experience Points have been shared evenly among members of the Party]
[Increase in Experience due to killing someone twice your Level!]
[Eloxus] is now Level Five!
[Eloxus] is now Level Six!
[Eloxus] is now Level Seven!
[Aly] is now Level Four!
[Aly] is now Level Five!
[Aly] is now Level Six!
Eloxus laughed to himself after looking at the Notifactions come through. He looked over to Aly, confused. She looked dead, yet she she hadn't shattered. He could only guess that she isn't dead.
However, this predicament was garbage - utter dogshit.
They had three options.
Run and get shot by Fire magic.
Fight 1 on 1 although Eloxus has exerted most of his energy.
Or die.
No matter what he did, there was going to be repercussions.
What do I do, it had been 20 seconds since Io died, and for some reason, his teammate didn't come forward, he also didn't shoot magic either which was beyond confusing.
Eloxus took this unexpected chance.

Still no Magic? What in the actual fuck? This is beyond stupid, I've done all this work for nothing. Wait a minute, where has that Green guy gone? He hasn't attacked me for some odd reason.
Eloxus stared at him, however, he didn't stare back, actually, he wasn't even looking into Eloxus's direction at all, if anything, he was looking the same way Eloxus was. Then a pair of eyes stared back.
Eloxus used his brain and ran for Aly. He was still tired as shit, but he needed Aly, without Aly he was practically nothing. He was unable to do anything on his own. He needed allies.
He grabbed onto Aly and swang her on his shoulder. She was light, almost too light. It didn't matter to him, instead it benefitted him in this instance.
He ran and ran, he wasn't even being chased. The terrain never changed. He was still in the disgustingly dry biome with the odd tree every now and then.
poof
He collapsed, and Aly went rolling off him.

I feel a tad stronger, and faster. It feels like I'll be able to run a marathon in a few minutes (hyperbole). It seems stat points are very important. Again, Wisdom has done literally nothing for me, yet a Celestial being wants me to upgrade it? I'm assuming it's linked to magic, although I haven't gotten a skill, like at all. She also wants me to upgrade it along side Agility? That's so strange, what a weird combination, I wonder what Eluxo upgrades, maybe he's an all rounder since it looks like he's gotten a tad bigger. Do you think that's why she's contacted me? Agility + Wisdom, I can't imagine many people upgrading those stats since they don't really go hand in hand. Honestly, Wisdoms quite an awkward thing to upgrade since it's doing literally nothing.
Is she colour blind? Is she aware of my colour? I don't understand. Am I really going to have a chance to be an Instrument? If so, how? I didn't really do much, I just struggled against someone and got knocked out in one hit, well, atleast I think I did?
How am I alive?
I got up and saw Eluxo, still laying down opposite me. He must've been the reason why I'm alive right? Also who took out the those two? They had fire magic and from my memory they didn't use it once. I have so many questions, yet I can't get them answered since I can't even speak!
I wonder what my Dad's doing, we were teleported together yet we were seperated from the get go, when the beautiful Princess was explaining our rules, my Dad was nowhere to be seen. I wonder if he's alive. I can only hope.
I woke up. We're alive. We made it. As I looked at the Notifications it seemed that the last newborn had died, which I'm glad since I got more Experiene. I would've felt bad, however they attacked us indiscriminately, so we had no choice. I didn't level up, although it feels like I'm on the cusp of levelling up, which is great. Also, the Levelling System is weird. It feels like I'm Levelling up very slowly in comparison to Aly, or maybe I'm imagining it. Most likely.
I looked at Aly, Aly looked at me. We both smiled. It's not like we could say anything, so we just walked. Unfortunately, I didn't realise by the time we got back there that we walked right back where we were. Right back where the crime scene happened. However, I still don't feel bad, I wouldn't be surprised that in their evolution they would've become Devils.
I couldn't even tell Aly that there was a creature here. So I nudged her to walk left instead of going that way, it may have been flat plain (although it's still the red sand to begin with) with a few small hills here and there, but in the distance, there were mountains. So I thought it would've been smarter to go around the mountains.

Rise of the Firstborn
[A participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge]As the inhibitor rises and the eternal flame is quenched, our lands shall be freed, and only then will the Princess be set to flee. It began with ice. A relentless, bone-chilling tickle of frost that stretched across the lands of Axulran, crawling over the mountain crests and freezing the grassy meadows. Frozen in time, the kingdom fought for political control all across the region of Ellixus, paying no mind to the death and torment they may cause along the way. Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

Eight
His name is Eight. Not really, but that’s what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall. Oh, and the gate guard drove him off, because he thought Eight was a monster. Life’s tough when you’re trapped in an eight-year old body on another world. The first book focuses on Eight's survival on a dangerous new world. If you're a fan of Gary Paulsen's Hatchet, you'll enjoy it. The story is one of discovery, bushcraft, and finding one's way. Note that, while this is very much LitRPG, progression is slow, and Eight spends much of the first book alone. The second book recounts what happens when Eight and friends head east to the village of Voorhei. Expect a blend of fantasy adventure, ghost story, cozy mystery, and family drama. Books one and two make a complete story, while book 3 has just gotten underway.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
