《Golden Glow: Curses from this High One》Character Creation

Please select your Role
A synthetic voice monotonously requested. He was presented with three options.
He calmly selected ‘Support’ and began scrolling through a list.
Enchanter -Divine -Arcane -Spirit
….
Priest -Divine -Arcane -Spirit

Aura Arts -Divine -Arcane -Spirit

…...It was not there. The class he saw in the trailers, the Hexigation class, a type of cursed support which used their skills to debuff and weaken enemies. At Least that is what was inferred through the trailers he mulled and salivated over.
‘Could the class be DLC? Nonono. You wouldn’t advertise DLC in a release trailer… would you? Perhaps the Devs put it in the offense role, even though it would clearly be a support?’
He thought for a moment before casting the idea out of his head. He scrolled to the top and exited the support role before selecting ‘Offense’. After scrolling past all types of warriors, monks, Warlocks, Mages, and other things he reached the bottom with no sign of the Hexigation class. Letting out a mumble of frustration he began scrolling to the top once again.
As he was scrolling to the top, his eye caught a ‘-xigation’ fly down the class window in front of him. After stopping and slowly scrolling back down making sure to read each class name as he went until he finally found Hexigation and read its description.
Hexigation -Comune with dark magics to weaken, corrode, and curse your opponents.

Lesser Weaken I
Lesser Corrode I

He selected the class and went into the character creator. It showed six options to choose from. Dark Human, Dark Elf, Dark Dwarf, Dark Beastkin, and Demon. He cycled through all of the options before settling on Dark human. There was a kind of simplistic beauty to the Dark Human face. The elf had a ‘Holier than thou’ feel to them and the Dwarfs just didn’t feel right for what he was going for. The Demon was very eye-catching, a little too eye-catching for his tastes. The Beastkin was certainly appealing but there was just something about the Dark Human that just seemed fit Perfectly with what he wanted.

He selected the Dark Human and started to Play around with the options. Although the game was not the first of its kind the graphics were quite a sight to behold. As he was contemplating between tan skin and pale skin he received a message.
Group message: From ID: PoomSlayer469 1-PoomSlayer469: Just arrived at the fountain, where you guys at? 2-BailDale04: 1 minute cute girl trying to swoon. 3-JstMaline: Just got there.
Guy chuckled at the quick series of messages before sending his own.
4-ThatGUY12435: in character creator. Be there in a couple. 5-PoomSlayer469: Don’t stay to long too don't want you to get a headache. lol 6-BailDale04: lol
7-JstMaline: lol
He closed the message window and continued with his character. He selected the tan skin and went to the eyes. He wanted for his character to give the feeling of ... Depravity? No, more like a feeling of a fallen god or banished royalty. Yes, that was more of the feeling he wanted. He eventually settled on a faded gold glow for the eyes which turned out to actually glow in the dark due to a trait of all Dark creatures. There was still something missing, he had the semi-royal feeling but his character's body was… missing something. Jokingly he swapped the gender to female and nearly had his jaw drop off. The softness of her figure not only blended well with the other aspects but enhanced them. The faded gold of her eyes stared back at him was she trying to tell him something? Perhaps she was saying:
‘You think this amount of gold is sufficient?! MORE! I demand more gold for my royal figure! Muahahahaha Muahahaha!’. It just screamed for more gold with its insane yet controlled laugh. The player feverishly scrolled through the options until he stumbled upon ‘Mana Overflowing’. He entered its tab and read its Lore.

Mana Overflowing
Mana erupts from within you filling you with its powers. The body can barely contain its power, Mana even becomes visible from within your skin.
Note* This does NOT affect gameplay and is only a cosmetic feature.
After indulging in its light lore he began to select different colors of gold. He couldn't even control his grin anymore as it morphed into what was probably the second biggest smile of his life.
When he finally found the golden color he wanted he nearly lost his shit. No, he did lose his shit. Although the graphics weren’t perfectly realistic his imagination ran rampant with it to the point he could barely select the starter skill and stats for her. Which were Min-Maxed to increase the potency of the curses, amount of curses, and just a bit into the creation stat.
It ended up looking like this:
Name: Dark Human Hexigation 1 Level 1
Agi 1(+4)
Pow 1(+4)
Dex 1(+4)
Wis 10(+4)
Knw 10(+4)

After Min-Maxing his build He moved on to the most challenging part of making a character, Naming them. The player dreaded this final step which always seemed invisible to him until the moment that he lacked creativity. He didn't want to keep his friend and the others waiting so he chose to search the internet for a suitable name and surname.
After making a name worthy of the majesty that he created the player clicked finish and loaded into the beginner town.

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).

Single Mother Cultivator: Determination to deny her naïve son a terrible destiny
Lucia Martinez had to fight for every little victory in her life, especially when she was responsible for raising a teenage son by herself. But when the teen gets summoned to another world by a dysfunctional martial sect as their would-be savior, she’ll have to fight harder than ever just to get him back. Brought along to a world of Eastern fantasy, Lucia finds herself face to face with obscure magical creatures, various rich cultures, and a familiar yet unique chi-based magic system that every faction has their own way of looking at. Single Mother Cultivator is as the title suggests, a Cultivation novel. Unlike other Cultivation stories, this one focuses on multiple Asian mythologies rather than just Chinese myth, and isn’t just a generic power fantasy. It explores the very nature of strength itself, and how it could and should be used. The foundational power system is the same for both major factions, with differences in their philosophies on how to pursue it. New chapters on Mon-Wed-Fri

My Life As A Superhero Slash Supervillain
James Jude Jamison is experiencing something a bit odd. He was sitting quietly at his computer desk, playing some kind of RPG, he couldn't which one, although the fate of the universe rests on him remembering which (Oh well, it had to end sometime). So, anyway, suddenly, out of nowhere, he got a bit of a headachne, his nose started to bleed, he then proceeded to make a mess in the family room at the computer room. His mom shouted at him, then he died. Then he woke up. He was reborn. Only he had a UI screen suddenly at the edge of his vision. What the hell. He was meant to have some cool powers, like lazers that shot out of his nipples, maybe some mad dancing skills. He would finally be able to speak to girls without laughing in their faces. Sigh. So this is his story, of how he couldn't decide which career prospect appealed to him more. So he decides to give both being a hero and a villain a go. What could go wrong? *** Edit: 2017.06.18 - 03:08 am EST - JJ seems to have buggered off somewhere without telling me where he went. So I am going to have to piece together this story back from the start with the fragments that he gave me. I will leave the original chapters up, but I will be renaming them so they are obvious if new readers don't want to read them. I am currently trying to write chapter one anew. It will feature new reasons of why JJ starts with the villainous lifestyle first, and the reasons of why he is granted the power he was given. If JJ does come back, I will inform you thusly. Then it will be decision of writing from where he left off or telling him to go choke on his own c**k. If I do decide to take the story up, then it will be a decision of to split the stories in two, and if to keep my version alive and concurrent. Thanks.
