Able drake-
I woke up today, when I woke up I saw the drake just staring at me {Hello?} I said [Huh? You weren't reacting the entire time since you layed down] The drake said, then I reacted by saying {Because humans need sleep we can't stay awake for more than a day or two without paying for it with mental health/ physical healt} [Oh] It then said, then I said {Drake, I should give you a name.} [Why?] It said, then told it {First, it will be easier for me to remember what to call you. Second, It is seen as a bad act to not give your blood beast a name, and I could be killed by the church for it} The draje then said [What's the church?] Then I explained {It is a strong orginazation of humans that could currently kill me with ease} [Oh]
I started thinking 'The drake's attribute is darkness, so lets go with a god of darkness. Should I go with the greek god of darkness Erebus? It's a cool enough name to use, plus it's the name of a god on earth. Its decided, Erebus it is'
Then I told the drake {Your name is Erebus} Then Erebus said [Any reason you chose that name?] I then said {It's the name of a god of darkness from another world, And I find it cool sounding} [Oh] Erebus said, Then I said {Your probably hungry because the fight for food hasn't happened} Erebus nodded, I then continued {That's because physical food can't give you anything, we need to gain essence for that. To gain essence you need to kill monsters, so we have to go to where monsters live. So today we're going to a dungeon} Erebus got excited at going to a dungeon, then I said {But before I do that I'm going to look at your status} after that I told a servant to open the gate for Erebus, then I told Erebus {Just do what you want i'm gonna just sit here come to me if you want to know something}
Then I opened my status
name Able drake race: homeo-sapien (human from icarus) blood contracts:
"Erebus"
Status *Unravel*
Options *Unravel*
Then I pressed *Unravel* next to status of the drake
Race: lesser drake (Darkness) STR: 23
*Unravel*
Mastery: strategy mastery, tracking mastery, claw mastery, jaw mastery, tail mastery, faint mastery
*Unravel*
Skills: Stealth, Darkness affinity, Drakish scales, Assasination, Pressence consealment, Drakish roar, Drakish breath (Darkness)
Level: 23/50 63%/100% AGI: 33 name: Erebus END: 15 sex: male WIS : 5 Age: 3 years old INT: 7 HP: 93/93 (1.3/s) LCK: 10 MP: 40/40 (0.5/s) VIT: 13
perks: None
Titles: fear monger
I then pressed *Unravel* by the mastery's tab
Name rank proficiency *Unravel* Strategy mastery 1 24%/100% *Unravel* Tracking mastery 1 87%/100% *Unravel* Claw mastery 2 31%/100% *Unravel* Jaw mastery 2 48%/100% *Unravel* Tail mastery 2 21%/100% *Unravel* Faint mastery 1 67%100% *Unravel*
I then thought 'these mastery's are pretty good' Mastery's are well mastery's that help you use your weapons correctly I also had one which was "CQC Mastery". Tracking mastery helps with how to track correctly, and is slightly more potent with each point in WIS. Same with Strategy mastery but with INT

-When a mastery ranks up to rank 2 you gain +1 to its stat of focus
- When a mastery ranks up to rank 3 you gain +2 to its stat of focus and 1 undistributed stat point
-When a mastery ranks up to rank 4 you gain +4 to its stat of focus and 2 undistributed stat point
That's all about mastery ranks in the library only open to the patriach of the drake house and his heir
Proficiency is pretty much the exp bar for skills of the sentient races, but in precent forms
Claw, jaw and tail gives you the know how to use their body part more efficiently
But I hadn't seen "Faint mastery" as a mastery in the library so I pressed *Unravel*
Faint mastery_mastery
helps make your attacks harder to predict when in combat
-Slight bonus based on AGI
*Toggle*
*Active*
After reading it I thought 'This is a great mastery, its focused stat is AGI. Erebus is going to grind this mastery the most'
Then I looked at the skills
Name level rank proficiency *Unravel* Stealth 3/5 1/5 69%/100% *Unravel* Darkness affinity 6/10 2/5 79%/100% *Unravel* Drakish scales 4/5 1/5 34%/100% *Unravel* Assasination 4/10 2/5 47%/100% *Unravel* Pressence consealment 4/5 1/5 93%/100 *Unravel* Drakish roar 1/5 1/5 53%/100% *Unravel* Drakish breath (Darkness) 3/5 1/5 72%/100% *Unravel*
After I read the Skills I frowned the average 3 year old wild Beast that has been turned into a blood beast has 3 rank 2 skills, but then I comforted my self with the fact that both rank 2 skills are ~lvl 5
I then unraveled them all accidentally
stealth_active
- increases the effectiveness of sneaking by 15%
-5% per level
-20% per rankup

increase effectiveness of pressence consealment by 4%
-1 mp/s
Drakish roar_active

30mp/use
Drakish breath (Darkness)_active
Breath out a dark flame that has a 10% chance to inflict the abnormal effect 'blindness'
and deals (30 DMGx 1.08) 32.4 = 32 DMG
Since I already opened them all I quickly read through them, the skills were very bad. But I already knew monster growth was liniear
-skill rankups give 1 undistributed stat point
then I looked at the "fear monger" title
Fear monger_title
Requirements: have 100 beings fear you
Increase your natural presence's abillity to induce fear
*Toggle*
*Disabled*
A good title for a berserker, leader, and warrior. But terrible for a thief, assasin and hitman. And Erebus is an assasin archetype, But will also need to be a leader

Then I looked at the perks and sighed, and thought 'Its a shame Erebus doesn't have a perk' Perks are believed to randomly and rarely apear in a monster
then I walked to the tutor at the end of the lecture was a test, after the tutor was done. The tutor started talking "Able, my job is done. I was told to teach you everything inside of the royal acadamy's curriculum, and you've learned it all" then I thought 'well that explains why I was told to look at a painting and tell the him what the emotions the painter had while he was painting' then the tutor said "I'll meet you again inside the royal acadamy as a teacher" then I said "bye, hope you don't die." the tutor then nodded his head and then walked away
The royal acadamy is basicaly middle school, high school and collage for noble's
After I saw the tutor walk out the mansion through the gate I thought 'I'm gonna have a lot of free time from now on, the tutoring took up 13/5'
I walked to the door of my fathers office, I knocked on it and said "Father!"
After a couple of seconds of waiting I heard Duke say "Come in!" I then came in, there were Duke and six elders. Then Duke said "What is it son" in a friendly voice. I then said "The tutor is done with what he was hired for" With a shocked expresion he asked a called a servant and asked them somthing, after being told the anwser. He announced "He's telling the truth" then the elders began to whisper
then duke began talking again "son, it is tradition in the drake to have an elder to accompany a genuis' to make sure they're not scamed or threatened. one way to acomplish being labeled a genuis is finishing that tutoring under 8 years. So now you'll need to pick an elder" then I asked him "Can I make the elder swear an outh not to tell anyone my secrets unless I allow it for the rest of their existance and not to betray me unless I allow it, and to harm me without my best intrest in mind, with the penalty for breaking the oath to be death" Then duke asked the elders "Do you have a problem with that" And they all said a variation of "No I don't have a problem with that" Then Duke looked back at me and said "Yes you can, now please choose one of the elders"
There were six elders
- A lax one called Heidle
- A nervous one called Kanal
- A stoic and calm one called Osgar
- A lazy one called Uland
- A energetic one called Usain
- A deppresed one called Bob, probably a reincarnator that couldn't adapt to the continent of icarus
After considerering my options, by that I mean looking at their body language. I said "I choose Osgar" When Osgar heard what I said he made a small smile and said "Kid I never really thought a genius would pick me over another elder, You may not know me but I'm very disliked by all the childeren. Because I always push them to hard, but I do that because the real world won't give them time to adapt. The real world will always weed out the ones that can't adapt fast enough" Then I asked him "so, can you make the oath?"
Osgar said "yes" He then got in the position to make an oath with his hand to his heart and said "I swear to not tell anyone the secrets of Able Drake unless Able drake allows it for the rest of my existance, I swear to not betray Able drake without his aproval for the rest of my life and I swear to never harm Able Drake without his best intrest in mind, I swear opon it my life" then a screen popped up
Osgar Drake has asked to make an oath to you
Do you accept
Yes/No
I then pressed yes with my finger, then I felt a connection woth Osgar. Just telling me all the oaths he's made to me
Then Duke asked "Son, why did you press the button instead of thinking about it" Then I told him "Its a habit, If I do things secretly with my status or overall framework, or need to do it quickly. I can use my mind to interact with it." Duke then looked relived
Then I said "Back to for why I came here, can you make an apointment with a blacksmith for next week" Then Duke asked "For what?" Then I told him the obvious "To have him make an experemental weapon's parts" then Duke asked "What are you calling this experemental weapon?" I told him "The double action revolver, oh yea can the blacksmith make an oath not to talk about the details of the parts or produce it again for making that specific weapon?" Duke said "Easealy" then I said "then I'm going to go back to my room to start making some plans, Osgar your going to help me with that right"
"Wait a minute" I said, I then continued "How are we planning to go into the dungeon today?"
Duke said "All the childeren that are 5 years old will come on the expidition, and for safety some adults will come along if there are any emergencies"
Then I said "Now I'm done with what I was talking about" I walked to the door and osgar followed me when I opened the door I said "Goodbye" while waving my hand
When we came back to our room we began conversing and planing

Ogre Tyrant
Tim wakes up to find he is naked and alone in a fantasy world. However, he is not as alone as he first thought. There are other people running around all over the place fighting monsters for a living. Unfortunately for Tim, he seems to be one of those monsters. Desperate for any degree of safety and normalcy he can find, Tim must tread a fine line between freedom and subservience to survive. All while trying to keep alive a trio of adventurers hellbent on becoming legends. However, unfortunately for Tim, he is not the only one from earth to awaken in this world and the other Awakened aren't nearly so benevolent. Warning: The protagonist begins the story quite cowed and meek but progresses into a more assertive and situationally dominant personality. This is partly due to growth, but also a result of the character overcoming initial shock and longstanding depression. If you think I could have handled a segment better, by all means, point it out and provide your reasoning and suggestion. Everyone's experience of depression is different, and Tim's is a close representation of my own, so it won't necessarily 'vibe' with everyone. Chapters are around 15k words and released approx 1/week over the weekend. Has been reduced to around 7.5k to 9k to better fit my schedule.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
