《The Tale of a Fenrir》Walk down the path of slaughter?
Advertisement
That was a good nap.
Wait. Wasn't there a System that was trying to bond to me?
I looked around me, but I didn't see a blue screen float anywhere.
Huff. That was all just a dream. On second thought, it would be very cool to have a System of some kind in this unknown world.
I have read enough novels in my previous life, where the Protagonist gets a overpowered System and had missions like: Sit on a couch to gain 100000 exp.
It really bothered that some Mcs just had everything handed to them without any hardships.
But, I would be the last one to complain, if I myself got such a system
I could say "Open Status" and could assign all my skill points to strength and...
Booom!!!
I would be the strongest being in the universe!!!
HOST HAS OPENED THE DEVOURER SYSTEM.
STATUS WILL BE SHOWN.
STATUS:
NAME: ZACK
LEVEL: 1 (0/100 EXP)
SPECIES: MUDI DOG
PHASE: CUB
TITLES: NONE
HEIGHT:15 CM
WEIGHT: 4 Kg
HEALTH: 10 HP
STRENGTH: 1
AGILITY: 1
ENDURANCE:1
DEFENCE:1
INTELLIGENCE: 7
SKILLS: BITE (LV 1), SCRATCH (LV 1)
That wasn't just a dream!?!
Devourer System?
Do I just need to eat to level up and get skill points?
Yeah, that would be cool. I can just relax and eat the whole day and simultaneously become stronger.
SYSTEM FEELS THE NEED TO CORRECT HOST.
YOU WON'T LEVEL UP FROM JUST EATING. HOST NEEDS TO KILL LIFE FORMS AND THEN EAT THEM.
So, I have to walk down the path of slaughtering everything?
YES.
Do I need to level up?
YES, IF HOST DOESN'T TRY TO LEVEL UP AND GAIN SKILLS THE SYSTEM WILL OBLITERATE YOU.
So I don't have a choice?
What can do? I just have to accept it.

So System I will try to level up, but first I have several questions.
First,what determides how much exp, I gain when killing something?
Their strength??
THE EXPERIENCE WILL BE GIVEN BASED ON THE INTELLIGENCE AND POWER OF THE BEINGS YOU KILL.
Then why didn't I have to kill something to get the system?
THE ONE WHO CREATED ME DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE IT TOO HARD FOR HOST TO ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM.
Why did he do that? Shouldn't the conditions to activate the system be something special?
HOST, MY CREATOR ISN'T A SADIST. HE JUST WANTS SOME ENTERTAINMENT.
Yeah, that makes sense. Ahhhh why didn't I think of sich a obvious answer?
Anyway, moving on to the next question?
On what are my stat values based on? Is 1 maybe, the average stat of a human?
HOST, IF THAT WAS THE CASE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A STAT VALUE OF 7 IN INTELLIGENCE.
I MEAN YOU ARE AT BEST A 0,9 IF I USED THE HUMAN AVERAGE.
Ok, I get it, but there is no need to be so savage.
I understand, that I am nothung special, but there sure is a way to make it sound more nicely.
Then, what are the values based on?
THEY ARE BASED ON THE AVERAGE STATS OF A MUDI(DOG SPECIES) CUB. IN COMPARISON TO THEM, YOU ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I don't think I should be proud of that.
Anyway, I should begin to level up. But, there is one problem... I don't have anything to kill in here!!!
I also don't see a way to escape this damm place and start my epic adventure.
Mmmmm, I should just sleep.
As a famous philosopher onve said:" If you have a problem Sleep. After that you will know the answer.
HOST, ACCORDING TO MY DATABASE THERE WAS NEVER A PHILOSOPHER ON YOUR HOMEPLANET THAT SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

Nobody asked you. Just shut up.
I will sleep now and maybe the problem will solve itself.
I really hope so....
The next day:
One could see a fancy carriage on a crowded street. Inside was a boy that was roughly 13 years old. He seems to be in deep thought.
Pov Leon:
Huh, today's the day, I am going to get my pet dog.
I didn't want a pet at first, but my mother convinced me to try it.
These days it was very popular for children of the upper classes to have some kind of rare or expensive pet.
Often some of my friends would even compete with other kinds who's pet was the most expensive and talented one.
I find such competitions, a waste of time. But, my mother thinks otherwise and sees this as a way to increase our social standpoint
I really love my mother, but she worries too much about what other think about her.
Suddenly I hear the voice of my carriage driver and come back into reality.
"Master Leon, we have arrived."
I look at the white building and can't not find it impressive how gigantic it is.
This is a place where most of the pets for noble children like me are breed.
They have a good reputation and nobody was ever disappointed with the animal they got from here.
I get out of the carriage and go to the entrance of the facility.
This is going to be a long day.

Devourer of Destiny
A wise old grandpa in a ring. An ancient weapon to unleash one's true potential. An unorthodox teacher who emerges from obscurity to provide heroes with enlightenment. In a cultivation world, those who would rise to the top usually have some sort of advantage that propels their rapid ascent. Things that many would offer their souls to obtain. Ebon Dirge, a fallen devil descended from the highest realms of the divine, is more than happy to accept their payment. Thwarted by the machinations of the mightiest beings in the universe, he is forced to begin anew in the lands of the weakest mortals. To prepare for the ultimate confrontation, he has hatched a plot to steal the best weapon of all: destiny. Whether it is a downtrodden youth in the savage wilds, a prince driven to desperation by the royal web tangled around him, or the students and staff of an illustrious magical academy... all should beware what they wish for. They just might get it. For a price, of course. --- PROGRAMMING NOTE This is a wholly rewritten version of the novel that originally began in 2018, not a copy-paste of those original chapters. ABOUT THE NOVEL Devourer of Destiny is an exploration of cultivation story tropes and foibles. It features: - Cultivation stuff. The story is a satirical take on xianxia and xuanhuan staples and tropes.- An irredeemably evil central character.- Multiple POVs. A lot of them, although the central character remains central and will always have the lion's share. POSTING SCHEDULE TBD. Still working it out.

The Experimental Dungeon
Having all your memories erased and be reborn as a baby without any knowledge, or giving the job of managing a Dungeon without being its Core – a very easy decision for everyone, right? Right? Right? “I really should have remembered from all those fanfics and dungeon stories that those ROBs always screw with their mortal playthings” growls Claudia as she checked her Status for the umpteenth time. “How dare that... that...that manipulative thing did this to me… And no matter what extra options he gifts me with, I will NOT use them to create a hentai dungeon or anything like that” This will not be the usual dungeon core-type story found around here, but the main difference will only be explained in chapter 4 by the Dungeon Pixie. Also – despite the warning please don’t expect any explicit scenes in this story. The warnings are there because mature themes will be mentioned (and not only because the Higher Power provided some special options), but the MC is dead set on evading those options as she sees them as traps. So there are no explicit descriptions planned at all. If that changes I will give extra warnings in the chapter title, but I plan on handling things other ways. Later chapters might go a bit farther than the simple mentions in chapter 2, but don’t expect much more. Status Update 04. April 22 Writing Buffer used up, as said before I'm switching to one chapter a week on fridays. The new cover is the second placeholder, but what I really want will have to be commissioned and take a while. At least it is better than the map-part from chapter 4 that was the first placeholder.

The Immortalizer
Walter was a mage, and Walter wasn’t happy. Oh, being able to bend the rules of the universe to his whim was nice enough, but he yearned for the freedom of choice. Maybe he would have wanted to be a farmer, a baker or a shoemaker? How would it feel to live a life like that? So, Walter made a plan: He would achieve true immortality. Not just living forever – that part was easy, especially once you realized that a human body was more of a hindrance than a help. No, he would create a way for him to become a new person and live a new life as many times as he wanted. And he would sacrifice everything to achieve it. So, meet Walter – just as he is about to realize his dream of becoming someone else. Full Blurb:Walter, a gifted mage turned undead Lich, has created a highly complex ritual that allows him to transfer himself into a newly created human body.

The first life he chooses is the exciting one of an adventurer – a government-funded guild of mercenaries that protect the citizens of his country from the ever-present monster threat. He wants to learn to fight monsters, enjoy the friendships and camaraderie of his companions, explore the land looking for long-lost ruins and make lots of exciting new experiences, all while staying completely under the radar. Of course, things aren’t going to work out that way. New chapters every tuesday, thursday and saturday!
