《The Ghost》Chapter 8. Human bugs.
Advertisement
Marcus stared into the distance, no notification so it was obvious that the large bug survives his attacks. Marcus sighed and continued to stare at the tree.
The large bug that fell to the ground was on the verge of dying, the wings were covered in ice and the cold temperature reached its organs. In a couple of minutes, it knew it will die, it's black eyes were full of anger it didn't know where the attack came from.
The rustling of grass rang and the large bug slowly turned its ugly head.
Selena and Kate have been exploring this forest but they still can't find a single goblin, most of what they saw are goblin's in the group and they knew it will be a tough battle. For these girls, they don't want tough lives so they bully the weak.
While walking Selena turned her head and stared at the large bug, she notices its wings were covered in ice and it was staring at her with eyes that seemed to swallow the world.
"Kate, we found one. Kill this ugly bug!"
Selena said before moving to the side, this ugly bug is weak so Kate can handle it.
Kate nodded her head and stared at the ugly bug, the yellow circle appeared and the sword made of light got out of it. The large bug can sense the disdain in the eyes of Selena while it can sense the excitement of Kate. It never felt this humiliation in a long time!
Bzzzz!
The large bug made a loud noise and Selena covered her ears while shouting 'Kill it!'
Kate then pointed her fingers to the large bug and the sword made of light pointed its sharp front to the large bug before charging forward!
In the blink of an eye, the large bug was cut in two, the noise receded until it was gone. Kate stared blankly for a second before she turned her head to Selena and happily said, "I leveled up!"

Selena nodded her head, "Then let's go back to the house." Both of them started to walk out of the forest.
. . .
The large bug that was cut in two slowly disintegrated into pieces and small bugs formed like a small cloud, this cloud is made of black bugs and the buzzing sound was loud. It moves into the forest for a long time before a goblin was in its sight.
The small bugs approached the goblin and passed it, leaving the goblin's bones on the ground. The small bugs increased and started to speed up, in this forest they would grow big as long as there is enough food.
. . .
Selena and Kate already got out of the forest and they were in the house, Selena occupied the sofa while Kate was sitting beside her. Kate stared at the interface screen in front of her.

"I have two points," Kate said not knowing what to do with these points, Selena and she talked about her stats.
"How about that holy sword? it's strong so you should upgrade it."
Selena said she witnesses the power of the holy sword and so far it only needs one move to cut the enemy into two.
Kate nodded since she said to upgrade the holy sword then upgrade it.
Then Kate stared at the interface screen, this time the words changed.
[ Skill Tree.
Light element level 1 to upgrade level 2 needs 10 points.
Holy sword level 1 to upgrade level 2 needs 2 points.
Current points: 2 ]
Kate upgraded the Holy sword to level two and the screen changed.
[ Holy Sword level 2: Summoned the holy sword and eradicate all evil, high damage to evil creatures! ]

Kate was inwardly happy, she was now getting stronger and it appeared she could catch up to Selena.
While the two were in their own world, in the forest there is horror!
. . .
Cries of creatures echoed into the village, you could see bones everywhere and there was not a bit of blood on them. Thud! a rabbit fell to the ground and a large number of small bugs covered it before moving into the distance. The bones of the rabbit were lying there and death filled the forest.
The large bugs were enjoying their lives, any creatures that block their path was reduced to bones. After a while, these large bugs realized that these weaklings can't satisfy them anymore. The large bugs started to cover each other and they stacked until they formed into a humanoid figure. If someone saw this they would pee their pants to fear... A human-made out of bugs!
The humanoid bugs walked properly like a human being and after hours of walking there was a change in surroundings. It stopped and glanced at the signboard, Deep Sky Village.
. . .
"Kid you are still weak, you should train your body!"
Brandon said while patting the shoulder of Leo, the latter moves his shoulder and gave out a tsk sound. That lizardman was strong, its body was tough and the spear on its hands was fast. Fortunately, Brandon came and the two started a battle completely ignoring Leo and the two boys.
"I need to become strong! I hate this!"
Leo thought to himself, he already had a route and Brandon will never change it. He wants me to be a muscle boy? you must be dreaming!
"Let's go to the tavern, there is some old wine there."
Brandon said while the two boys beside Leo looked at each other, Leo notice this and he glared at Brandon before saying, "I don't drink wine. I need to go and see my sister!"
You want me to drink wine? hmph! you fell in your trap! you said it was old so it was obviously poison! I thought you already change its turn outs you are just waiting!
. . .
First Floor.
Marcus was standing beside the stairs, listening to the two girls. It's been a long time since he heard about the world, he was isolated when he becomes a ghost!
While the two girls were talking the front door opened revealing Leo and the two boys behind him, there was also Brandon, and the moment he saw Selena his gaze softened and he said, "Selena how are you? you know this brother of yours cause trouble! fortunately, I was there."
Leo's face was red, good you dare said that to my sister. Just wait, if I get stronger I would show who is the boss!
Not even a minute passed when a loud buzzing noise rang from behind!

The carnomancer
Jackson was but a normal american just looking to get by in life. unfortunately for him life had other plans as a terrorist bombing took place in the air port in london where he was getting off at. The resulting explosion killed him instantly, and now he has been reincarnated into the world of Rokna.In this new world of magic, monsters, and conflict join him under his new identity Adimir freelancer the adventurer half-elf as he seeks a way to live out an exciting life of researching new and creative ways of combining magic and science. But with a tyrannical empire beginning to prepare for a bloody war the signs of turmoil begin to loom on the horizon. Adimir will face numerous challenges. Both challenges to those native to this world, and against other people have come from earth. Author's comment: I'll be uprfont with you on the entire war thing that the description hints at. Yes it will eventually happen, and many of the strange and out of place things in the beginning will tie into that. Not that it will be explained until much later in the novel. In fact the first 100 or 200 chapters will be spent on the main character growing stronger as an adventurer before the entire war even begins to start rearing its ugly head. So for those eager for the war to kick off sorry, but there won't be a big explosive war so early. At least not with the empire (although if you read carefully you may be able to pick up signs of how close the war is with what happens in the story). But the wait (I hope) will be worth it as it will be diving into some of the stuff a otherworlder in a significant position of power could do with the right knowledge. With that little warning over with I hope you enjoy this novel of mine. Its my first actual attempt at writing a story for people to read so please keep that in mind. If you have any criticism please tell me. I'd love to read them and will be using them to help me in improving my writing quality as time goes on. Experience is the best teacher after all.
