《A Circle Of Time》Clearing The Basic Dungeon
Advertisement
We show our cards and register with the guard in order to enter the basic dungeon, it is necessary to register yourself before you enter a dungeon so that there are records of your whereabouts in case you are missing. The guild cards serve as a proof of identity as well as subjugation as, as long as it exists in this plane of existence it will record the monster's killed by its owner and are almost impossible to forge.
They also have excellent anti-counterfeiting mechanisms and measures to figure out if the person holding the card is the actual owner or not . This saves them from annoyances of having to produce proof of killing any monsters by presenting their carcasses, although I can just carry them in my storage. Certain monster carcasses if presented to the guild are sold for extra money unless you are doing a quest, then it would be stated as to who owns the carcass for the number of monster's you are paid to subjugate and if the carcass is requested then that amount would be added to the reward.
The basic dungeon we have entered is exactly as its name suggests, it is the easiest dungeon and used as training for absolute beginner's and that's the reason why we have come here even with our strengths because we lack experience in fighting varied opponents without the use of our overwhelming stats and also to set up a baseline of our capabilities. So, we decide to clear the dungeon multiple times and reduce our power output till we are able to clear it completely without the use of any magic and just using technique while similarly reduce the use of physical force and clear it with just magic. We also decided to try it both as solo and as a party to increase our own experience in fighting a particular type of monster and also to raise cooperativeness with each other.

Thus we began our journey to clear the dungeon, there are 15 floors in this dungeon and there are a total of 3 types of monsters with the 1-5th floor being full of slimes, 6-10 floor are teeming with goblins and the 11-15 are kobolds. First we decide to use our full strengths individually to establish a baseline for our abilities, the first time we will be using everything at our disposal our full strengths and equipments.
Slimes are creatures who are partially resistant to physical attacks but very easy to defeat if you know where to hit them although I can just defeat them without hitting its weak point I decide to test myself that way and initially I use long distance magic and sword cuts and although it is terribly easy to do that killing all of them which amount to not less than 100 on each floor that is very time consuming so I decided to do something about it and use my Creation Magic [Creation Magic- Combination] In order to create magical homing arrows of all attributes and release continuous barrages leaving nothing behind where all of the slimes previously were sitting except some of the slimes dropped a few equipments such as rusty knives and a few shields, but their class was too low to be even be used by us, so we decide to sell them to the guild.
Because this is the beginner's dungeon it is extremely easy for us as we complete the first five floors, with just one monster left to defeat the boss of the slimes, a large slime which has a hidden core and is generally a little difficult for a beginner to take down except by using an AOE(Area Of Effect) magic or having a party of 4-5 beginners. I just use homing magic barrage until nothing was left, the way I am moving is like a moving fortress.

The next 5 floor are occupied by goblin's who have basically no value and I just kill them using my barrage and keep heading to the next floor as we keep going ahead and reach to the 10th floor where I meet a goblin mage, it appears that there are alternating floor master's for goblin's where sometimes it is goblin archer or goblin warrior or a goblin mage and killed it by cutting its head off its neck.
We then reach the 11th floor where I continue to barrage those kobolds until I reach the top floor. There we see a Kobold knight which was surprisingly weak so I just cut off its neck as well. The entire time it took me to complete the dungeon by myself was less than 45 minutes, whereas beginners with parties need around a day and a half to complete it, now I need to develop my strength in all ways without using the homing barrage and reduce the time to complete this dungeon in less than 15 minutes while also working on developing new techniques. After killing the dungeon master I received a pair of boots with wings {Sleipnir} which can let the user run faster and slightly glide in the air, but because I can already fly I just give it to Abberon.
Now it is her turn to set a baseline, She used lightning magic and fire magic with great proficiency and completed clearing the dungeon in around the same time as me and received a staff which amplifies magic but the grade is so low we decide to sell it with the other's keep it. This time I decided to completely avoid using all magic and just use my body until it can reach the same speed as when I just use wind magic while running. I just use my sword techniques and knowledge to complete the dungeon and this time it takes just under 2 hrs, Abberon also tried completing it with just physical attacks and we kept at it till around 8 pm and decided to leave today and head back here tomorrow as we exited the dungeon and marked ourselves out. I open a [Gate] to the alley near the Inn and we enter for dinner.
For dinner we have a batch of Frikkadel meatballs and some Ale as we discuss about our increased proficiency of around half the time without using any magic, so we reached the efficiency of completing the dungeon in just under 1 hr without using any magic and decided to continue training more tomorrow until we reach the efficiency of completing it in under half an hour and then we will practice completing it with just magic. By this time Abberon was so engrossed in the dessert that she was only half listening to what I was saying and when she saw me looking at her and smiling she got flustered and gave me an angry glare. As we depart to our own rooms.
Tonight we have had a good run, let us continue tomorrow as well. I thought as I meditated a little before slowly falling to slumber.

A healthy mind in a healthy body
288 A.D, he was born. 297 A.D, he realised he had evil impulses. 298 A.D he heard of Anthony of Egypt, and sought to follow his example to learn how to suppress his impulses. 303 A.D, he saw his people be persecuted. 306 A.D, his world changed thrice, the persecutions ended forever, this fact and his hermit lifestyle brought him peace which came with strange abilities, and through them he joined the Hidden Side of the World, back then not yet hidden. 307 A.D, he sought for a way to cure myself, yet he stumbled across something more. A reckless ritual connected him to a well of knowledge, driving him insane and immortal, causing him to be treated as a commodity in the supernatural community, an Oracle. 2019 A.D, its been 1712 years, and the lusitanian has ended up in the other side of the world in less than wholesome hands, a place which may have answers about the mysteries of his abilities, when an unexpected event cuts the connection and his sanity and mortality return. Gaius Atiius Quadratus will not forget this kindness. The MC is based on the monk class of many rpgs, but the story isn't Litrpg. Also he will gain non monk abilities after a while. Fair warning I don't understand the rating system but I'll say M-rated just in case. This is my first story, I accept criticism but I would like the critic to explain the reasoning behind it. Also I'm still figuring how this site works and I have no schedule so updates may be sporadic, at least once a week. Not a native speaker but in the practices, too lazy to actually get the diploma, I got an average of 9.7 out of 10 at the Cambridge C1 level, the CAE, second highest european level for foreign languages, so it should be no problem.

Sinner's Resolve: An Agent's Wish
A demon that had never batted an eye while mercilessly reaping the lives of many. A prodigy who accomplished the impossible. A hero that dutifully followed his orders. A messiah of the people. Many titles were given to him, whether it be in praise or in fear, but only one thing could be agreed upon by the people...All who he had ever crossed paths with had met an untimely death. He slowly rose to the top and earned himself the name of Black Death. A nameless person who was eventually awarded a cursed and bloodied name... Must this continue?...... He stared at his hands before turning his gaze towards his next three targets. Their photographs were neatly aligned along his makeshift table, accompanying him inside of a dimly lit room. Each one of them had earned their seat as the best special agents within their respective organizations. There must be a way...There has to be a way... Shaking away his thoughts, he quietly pocketed away the photos before exiting the room. A chance meeting that would forever change his cruel fate, and a wish that would transcend worlds. This is the story of a man who had nothing yet lost everything but a single wish, a silver lining that would completely change his life. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes - Hello everyone! This is my first work and I will hopefully stay around for a while. I will try to finish or at least expand on this piece of work for quite some time, expect a few hiatuses in between though, still have a bit of schooling to do. Expected release dates will probably be once a week(not sure yet) after I stabilized the novel a bit as I'm still debating on how I should handle this. I prefer fleshed-out works compared to quick releases, but it also depends on how I'm feeling. I don't have a lot of confidence in my writing skills and I believe that my writing style is a bit weird, but I do want to try my best to tell a story that's worth telling. I will gladly accept criticism but please try to pull the punches back a bit! I'm still only human after all. Very excited to work on this, please take good care of me as I proceed on this journey with all of you! P.S. If you're going into my series, expect to see cliches sprinkled here and there. I personally love cliches and a few tropes! But, that goes without saying, I want to put my own spin on them. Be ready to feel the edge!!! Heh.

The ThickGirl and The Badboy
"Well, well, well. Who do we got here?" An annoying voice mocked me.I clenched my teeth and faced him with a glare, while his eyes raked my whole body. Again. He stopped in my thighs, his eyes widening a little.I couldn't help but pity myself. Surely he's never seen legs like mine, with his sex crimes he's probably used to seeing long, thin, sexy legs, while mine are short, strong, but stubby. "What do you want?" I snarled. His eyes came back to mine, and he smirked."Chill ThunderThighs."I gave him a mean look, is he seriously insulting me right now ? ☆☆☆☆ Disclaimer:I'm still editing the first few chapters but i promise you it gets better:)
