《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》138- Exaltedness of the Creator!

“Human? Can she identify me? Is it because she’d read my mind?” Miles looked at the giant head and swore in his head. Do monsters know humans? Now thinking about it, humans had never reached B-Circle and B-Circle is just after the Endless Mountain.
I am pretty sure now that this mountain is Endless Mountain, and what I am looking at is B-Circle. Holy Cow! The hole is opening to the end of the mountain, which also means, I am looking at the B-Circle now, and any monster from there probably has never seen a human then.
“Yes ma’am?” Miles answered politely, cutting short his dismal monolog. The monster’s eyes were looking at him but unlike the other time, this time he could breathe. It wasn’t as scary as before. The monster confused him with a monster attacking her child so the look was so scary last time, probably.
“You brought my child back. I thank you for that.” The feminine voice was heard inside his head once again. It wasn’t too loud and was nice to hear. Unlike Jelly, its mother could convene what it wanted clearly. It was like having a conversation.
“It was nothing. You don’t have to thank me.” Miles answered modestly. He was glad he was alive against such a strong monster. This monster was the strongest any human had ever encountered. And he was just a pitiful Grace-Rank hunter.
“Since you brought my naughty girl back, I will compensate you for your effort. I can see you are not like us and have a different body. So, I will impart you a technique instead. It will help you greatly.” Monster’s eyes were still locked to Miles. Just like Jelly, its mother also kept eye contact while talking.
“As you said we are a lot different, ma’am. I am not even from this world. I don’t think that technique would work for me.” Miles answered with a sigh. How could a technique a monster was using help him? He was a human, not even a native of the Portal World.

“You don’t have to worry about that. Since I said it will work, it will work.” Monster said with a snort. Miles realized he offended the monster by implying she could not see through her. After all, she was a strong monster from B-Circle. How could she not see through his body?
“I understand. Please forgive my offense, and I am grateful for your blessings.” Miles answered as he apologized. He couldn’t deny the monster anyway, and having the technique wouldn’t hurt. So, why should Miles refuse it tenaciously?
“It is good that you are aware you are wrong.” The monster said as the information appeared in Miles's brain. There were premoves, postures, energy lines, and text in his mind. He knew the text was in a foreign language, but thanks to the monster’s interpretation, he could understand what the text meant.
“It is brilliant!” Miles looked at the text and couldn’t help but get impressed. He couldn’t understand all of it, since he wasn’t familiar with the terms yet, but the little part he could understand was enough to prove the technique was much stronger than Moon Essence he had learned not long ago.
“Exaltedness of the Creator!”
Such an impactful name. It is no surprise, the effects are so drastic.
Miles looked at the first level of the technique and realized it would increase his power dramatically. And it was a lot better for him because the conditions of the technique didn’t involve superpower or elements but only a strong body. Who in Unity had a stronger body than him at Grace-Rank?
It also required it to be practiced before energy was practiced, so it would grow with the energy. Otherwise, there would be complications. Since no human could use strengthening serum before using energy, no one in Unity could make use of this technique but him.

“This is great stuff.” Miles was on cloud nine. Not only did he find this cave, but he also learned a great technique.
“Don’t get so happy yet. Since my girl is with me now, how will you leave the cave on your own?” Monster asked with a smile. Miles’s mood plummeted right away as he thought about the problem. On the way, many monsters wanted to feast on Miles, but Jelly stopped them. Now that Jelly returned to its mother, how could Miles turn back?
“I will give you my breath. No monster in this cave will ever attack you so long as you carry it, but it will dissipate when you leave the perimeter of the mountain.” The giant monster breathed on Miles and an invisible aura covered his body. Miles could feel the existence of it as if he was in a membrane, but it couldn’t be seen.
“Thank you, ma’am,” Miles answered as he sighed in relief. After all, there were Evil-Rank monsters in the cave, if he didn’t have the monster's breath, he would die without seeing sunlight once again.
“I will not forget this favor, human. One day, I will return it. Farewell.” Monster lastly said, and a vague message appeared in his mind too.
“See you later, big bro human.” Then both silhouettes disappeared.
Miles looked at the hole and the land beyond that. What he could see were barrens and crimson sky. The sun was pinned in the sky, and it looked scorching. Miles wondered if it was really the B-Circle, but he couldn’t figure it out anyway, so he turned to leave.

Oblivion Online (complete)
Thanks for permission to use the cover by WanderingInPixels over on Deviant Art. As of 12-15-18, the story is finished. I am planning to edit and will release the books as I finish in one big go, but there isn't a timeline on any of that. Marty had a fairly easy life as a cook for Arctic Storm Entertainment headquarters when he gets an offer from the company to try out a new playstyle for their biggest VRMMORPG, Oblivion Online. Follow him as he makes his way through the game as one of the monster races trying to survive against the forces of light. Author's note: I will update every Monday and Friday for sure, with the possibilities of bonus chapters through the week if I get extra writing done. I also did a disservice to several of my characters early on. I'm slowly working through a re-write, but it will be a while as I want to make sure I get it right this time around.

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.
