*************************************
'Well, I guess it's time to accept it.'
'I looked towards the fallen monster and removed the arrows attached to its body, the next instant it was surrounded by light particles leaving its loot in place.'
'The 8 points in strength not only improves my physical strength, but also the strength behind my arrows. I have felt something strange with the first Snow Wolf I killed, and then in the battle against those three monsters of equal speed. In both cases, I thought it would take us a certain amount of time to defeat them, but I was completely wrong.'
'It seems the strength attribute isn't as simple as it looks like.'
'From now on, I will increase its points with the same seriousness as I do with agility.'
'"We have already adapted to fighting the snow wolf. Shall we go to the boss room?"'
'"Yes, let's go. In the meantime, I'll tell you how went the fight against it in the gold-… Bajamira labyrinth."'
'In our exploration of the 8th floor, we easily found the boss room. But we decided to keep fighting for a while longer to improve our fighting style.'
'after all, groups of 4 monsters will appear on the 9th floor, we must be prepared.'
'Along the way, I not only narrated the story of how I bravely defeated the Snow Wolf boss with a simple sword and chainmail without fused runes, but also I modified our status points to add a few points to magic resistance.'
'It’s necessary since the boss was about to cast magic on floor 1, and there's a higher probability for monsters to cast magic on a higher floor.'
'***'
'After resting, we open the doors and enter the boss's room.'
'[Snow Wolf Lvl8]'
'A large white-furred wolf 3m tall and 7m long is resting in the center of the room. Unlike the golden labyrinth, this room has clear frost marks on its walls and noticeably colder air than outside.'
'As we exhale, our breath becomes visible.'
'"Even though the snow wolf seems to be sleeping, it is a boss. And as such one, it should not be as careless as it seems" Alessia said with a serious tone, as she unsheathed her sword.'

'"True, so far no boss has shown weakness"'
'With my sword in hand, I walked in the direction of the wolf.'
'Our words came true in the next few seconds, in which the wolf suddenly woke up and looked at us.'
'the boss stood up so casually, that all it needed to do was stretch its body to look like a dog.'
'"Let's split up"'
'On my command, she and I started running towards the wolf from different directions. We have already fought enough to know that being together does not bring anything good. Especially since enemy attacks can kill two birds with one stone if we are not careful.'
'"GRRR"'
'The moment the boss grunted, its breath became visible and, showing its big teeth, it gave us to understand the deep hatred it feels towards us.'
'it quickly decided on its target and began to run… towards me.'
'"GRAU"'
'Opening its snout wide, it tried to bite me.'
'I didn't evade but lightly jumped and, blocking with my sword, I used the momentum of the shock to back up.'
'as I earned the boss's attention, Alessia has all the free space to attack it from its blind spot. If I had dodged to the sides, the wolf would most likely have seen her.'
'"GRRR"'
'With its right paw, it attacked me vertically. This time I jumped to the left, avoiding it. When its paw hit the ground, it generated a small tremor that knocked me off balance.'
'"GRAU" Taking advantage of this, the wolf again tried to bite me, but then…'
'"GRRRAA!" it roared with pain.'
'"I cut off its hind leg!!" I heard Alessia scream.'
'Well done! I wanted to scream, but I held back.'
'Her sword has [Edge +], so the idea of directly cutting the leg of a boss is not unreasonable.'
'The wolf's head is very close to me and, with just one jump, I can reach it and put my sword through its eye.'
'I bent my knees, trying to gain as much momentum as possible for the jump that would end all this… It was at that very moment that I felt the cold air multiply in intensity.'
'I know this feeling.'
'"Get away from it, the boss is going to use its magic!!"'
'Alessia: "!!!"'
'Without thinking twice, we turned around and started running.'
'Behind me, I can feel the air getting colder as my breathing becomes more visible.'

'Within seconds of running, ice particles surrounded the wolf at the same time that a blizzard formed around it.'
'"UOOO!" With its howl, the magic began its march.'
'Every inch of rock that was touched by this blizzard was immediately covered by ice, leaving consequences only equal to a natural disaster. Creating a path of ice in its path, the magic advanced in a circle with the boss at its center.'
'"Come on! Come on! Come on!!"'
'While I cheer me up, I run with all my might. I stop thinking about the catastrophe following me and just devoted all my efforts to run.'
'I don't know how long this lasted, I just know that I stopped the moment the heat inside my body stabilized.'
'Turning around, I saw my assumptions come true.'
'The wolf's magic… Ended.'
'After taking a deep breath, I yelled "Let's attack now while it's weak!!"'
'Bosses can cast magic, of course, but that doesn't mean that it will be free for them. In other words, after the magic comes the boss’s weakness. This is because they are not able to contain well the mana inside them, and they spend practically all in one go.'
'After running through the frozen path, I arrived before the boss. This last one reacted with a great lethargy and raised its leg to try to attack me, but it forgot something fundamental… its hind leg has been cut off.'
'At that very moment, the wolf lost its stability, falling in front of me.'
'With the boss head ready and willing, I swung my sword.'
'*Swish*'
'I pierced its eye cleanly, killing the wolf instantly.'
'[Snow Fur]'
'How nostalgic! this loot makes me remember my first days arriving in the capital.'
'With a smile, I take the loot with my hands and put it in the inventory.'
'"Are you okay?"'
'"yes. Thanks to your warning, I managed to escape in time"'
'"I see, that's good"'
'In a stoic mood, I walked in the direction of the door leading to the 9th floor.'
'When a sinful hand stops me.'
'"Not near the door, I have bad memories"'
'Oh, you mean when I pretended they were listening to us behind the door.'
'"Eh… No, this time I…"'
'"Hmph, I won't fall for your traps anymore"'
'Without waiting for my answer, Alessia crouches down in front of me and pulls down my pants.'
'Alessia: "…"'
'— Shrunk?'
'"It's so cold!!" I quickly exclaimed.'
'Grinning mischievously, she stretches out her index finger and moves my penis back and forth. Of course, it didn't stand up no matter how hard she tried to wake it up.'
'Alessia: "Hehehe"'
'Kill me please!!'
'Cold is the enemy of man… if I find a penis sheath with an empty slot, I will immediately add ice resistance to it.'
'***'
'"The monster on this floor is [Black Widow], it can inject poison through its bites."'
'"Ah, this is the monster you mentioned in the library."'
'After all, I remember everything like it was yesterday. Who would forget the day we had sex in the library? We fulfilled the dream of every student!'
'Checking my inventory, I removed 3 antidotes and gave them to Alessia.'
'"Thank you." She smiled at me.'
'Oh, what a difference. While her smile in the boss room was a mischievous one, where the upper part of her face seemed to darken, the current one has several points of sincerity and that makes it very beautiful.'
'Damn, now my penis reacts… But it's too late now!'
'With bad mood, I looked for a monster on the map to get even for the injustices suffered.'
'[Black Widow Lvl9]'
'It's a spider 40cm tall and almost 1m long. It is completely black in color, while its abdomen has a design very similar to that of an hourglass, but red.'
'With bow in hand, I shot two arrows at it, both in the direction of its head. While the first failed and landed on its abdomen, the second perfectly pierced its head.'
'[poison bag]'
'"Mm… master, for the next time let the monster get closer. That way we will know its fighting style."'
'"I didn't think it would die so easily…"'
'As it is an insect, I thought it would be as tough as a fire ant, but it seems that will be easy to defeat the spiders with my bow.'
'As we walked down the hall in search of the next monsters, I moved the points used in magic resistance towards poison resistance.'
'Better safe than sorry.'

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.
