《Kigal-Note》Arachnid: Kodokumo Emperor
Advertisement
Name: Kodokumo Emperor Rank: C+ Genus: Arachnid (Spider) Attribute: Poison, Curse Traits: Arachnid, Cursed Urn, Insect Lord
Description:
The Kodokumo Emperor (Empress in case it is a female) is a high-ranking spider creature that governs poisons and curses.
This creature is one of the evolutions of the Kodokumo lines, and a rare one at that. It requires having obtained the special "Cursed Urn" trait, a trait only obtained by killing and devouring tons of poisonous creatures. Another requirement is for the Kodokumo to have the [Cursed Poison Technique Master] title, a combination title that requires two other titles: [Poison Technique Master] and [Curse Technique Master].
Its ominous appearance and abilities have made many adventurers believe it is a creature that has crawled up from hell. True or not, its abilities and enmity towards any non-Kodokumo creatures are positively hellish. The subjugation of this creature is required as soon as it is discovered.
Appearance:
The Kodokumo Emperor is a gigantic spider with many eye-like spheres on its body. None of these eyes can see anything.
Other than that, the Emperor has a jet-black body, except for white markings on its abdomen, the top of its head, and on each knee section of its eight legs. It also has three faces like an Ashura monster, each with a set of eight eyes. However, it is still blind as a bat!
Abilities:
Danger rank: B+
Rarity rank: A+
When faced against a Kodokumo Emperor, the first thing one must stay clear of is not its great size, but its threads. Threads spun by a Kodokumo Emperor are said to withstand even the force of a Lesser Dragon with ease. They can even resist the typical weaknesses of threads like fire or frost to great degrees. The threads are however difficult for normal people to work with, due to their too tough constitution.

These threads also act as a replacement for the unusable eyes of the Emperor. Stepping on a thread is the same as giving a formal invitation to the Emperor that says "I'm here. Kill me!".
An even worse aspect of the Kodokumo Emperor is its many status ailments. Curse, Poison, Paralyze, and Sleep are just the tip of the iceberg. These ailments are further enhanced with the Cursed Urn trait, and can even lead to instant death.
Finally, as expected from someone with the Insect Lord trait, the Kodokumo Emperor can, despite any gender that the spider may have, can asexually birth new Kodokumo and control them through the [Control Kin] skill. A horde of newly birthed Kodokumo, led by an Emperor, can even eat out a whole city if not taken care of.

Of Frost and Steel
After being kicked out of home by her own parents, Emily found herself living in the house of an old woman while working as a plumber to help pay the bills. Her slightly unusual but still very normal life came to an abrupt end one day when an incoming car crashed into hers. When she next opened her eyes, she found no ambulance or hospital room waiting for her. What she found were instead the faces of beings much larger than her who were not entirely human, and the opportunity to live a new life, free of her old one. WARNING: This fiction is dedicated to a friend of mine who spent twelve years of her life hiding who she was because she feared the reaction of her family. For this reason it contains LGBT themes, although they won't be the sole or main focus of the story. The story contains sexual themes, but I will try to keep them to a minimum or make them "fade to black". Chapters will be around 1000 words long and without a fixed release schedule, for the moment.
8 193Nighthawk
Ancient tombs hold mysteries and treasures that many cannot even begin to imagine. From magical traps to deadly monsters, mechanisms are established to keep these tombs shut. However, there are brave souls who dare to risk their lives for the allure of riches and glory. Those who rob graves and storm tombs are known as Nighthawks. Lucrio Law, the young heir of Tosa, doesn’t care about graves or tombs. In fact, he doesn’t care about much besides drinking, gambling, and womanizing. But when circumstances leave him ensnared by a centuries-old curse, Luc is forced to walk the path of a Nighthawk, searching for the cure to his curse and discovering that some things are meant to stay buried. Author's Note: - This story will contain litrpg elements like Titles, Skills, and Levels. - MC will not become instantly powerful. I plan for a slower grind with a focus on the characters themselves rather than their abilities. - This is my first attempt at a litrpg story, so please leave any comments/suggestions you have!
8 100Off the Vat
Sergeant Gonzal had a very good nose for trouble. But this time, rather than the Cloning vats, the reek of things rotting came from the Mess Hall. *** "Off the Vat" is a complete, very short novel (around 20,000 words across 7 chapters), inspired by the recloning mechanic that Sci Fi MMOs like EVE Online or The Repopulation use to explain why players respawn.
8 152A Tale of Sorrow and Love: Book I
Turn pain into power Everin Thornwood is a traumatized orphan in a small village who is struggling to recover from the violent murder of his parents when he’s given the ability to see others’ suffering. Not only that, but he can absorb others’ pain, experience what they’re feeling, and wield that pain as a supernatural weapon. Everin must come to terms with these abilities as he crosses the post-apocalyptic society of Allomoria to find the man who commands angels and stole his life from him. His companions, Cora and Ford, must make sure he stays alive as they fight ghosts, angels, and Everin’s own demons along the way. Easier said than done, right? Please comment or review if you enjoy what you read! Feedback is always appreciated! CW: some violence, brief sexual assault reference Main site: http://sorrowandlove.home.blog
8 197Hope
There were 2 options: Fight the same war for countless more aeons. Shatter the Betrayer's undead legions time and time again until all was ground to dust. Because the endless legions truly never end. A hair's breath of ground in a century is enough if the war takes all of eternity. Or to choose Hope. To cast away his memories, his power, his very life. To wager everything on a chance to prevent their eventual end or to perish trying. Because if he were to return it would be with the power necessary to finally slay what remains of the Betrayer. Of the last Aspect. Only then would all things be right. And so, he chose the latter. Expect:Weak to strong quick-ish.Powerful MC reincarnates, gradually starts regaining memories.MC that is an actual character not a plot device.My original unique magic system discovered along with the MC.My original setting with mythos that have both been living rent free in my head for actual years.Opening arc will be less fast than the following story. Good writing (I think) and grammar. Upload schedulle: 2 chapters a week of 3-4k words each. I want to upscale to 3 in the future. Meant to be read in RR dark mode. For those coming here from my other stories, this is indeed a reimagining of my older story, CotM. I say reimagining because I have changed so much it cannot be called just a rewrite. Among the major changes, MC is fundamentally different in personality and background, I have actually planned the story out and changed it almost completely and I have adjusted my mythos so it no longer has as many holes as swiss cheese.
