-------------------
So she is a princess after all... Kukukuku Is it fate? Nah isn't to much of a coincidence? Doesn't matter, actually I was looking for a master. A big breasted princess is definitely a huge jackpot. With this, my plan can move forward.
“Look look! Isn't incredibly cute?” (An'dalia) She crouched and tried grabbing me but Darui'n quickly stopped her.
“Princess, small brightly colored creature like this are usually poisonous. Better not touch it.” (Darui'n)
“Awww but I'm a priestess, I can detox myself if anything happen.” (An'dalia)
“Of course but animals aren't toys... What is it anyway? [Identify]” (Darui'n)
I felt a strange sensation and saw a flash of light in Darui'n' eyes... So this is how it feels to have someone use “identify” on you?! Then suddenly the white knight eyes widened as is face showed an incredulous expression.
“T..T..t This thing is a named monster!.... And a unique species... This is beyond rare, princess !!” (Darui'n)
“Really??? [Identify]” (An'dalia)
“Urg, this feeling again...” (Kneeko)
“Kneeko?? King of the pond? ...This little thing?” (An'dalia) She said while tilting her head sideways.
“This is indeed a strange and rare sight... If we kill it maybe it will drop something very valuable... Look at this precious stone on his forehead.” (Darui'n)
“Hey ho!! Don't you dare you asshole! [Poison spit]!” (Kneeko) I spat my venom straight into the white knight left eye.
“HAAAAAAAAaaaaaaa!!!!!!! MY EYES!!! My vision is fading!!!!! This damn lizard !!!” (Darui'n) -4hp -4hp -4hp -4hp
“Actually I'm an amphibian.. Not a reptile. Though I don't suspect you to be smart enough to know the difference... Hmm.. But my poison doesn't seem to be very effective on him...” (Kneeko)
“Darui'n... Stay calm and come here. [Detox]” (An'dalia) Luckily for him, it seemed this princess was the “healing” type.
“It didn't work !!!!!!!!! HAAaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! It's not working princess HaAaa!!!!! Damned creature !!!” (Darui'n)
“I can't believe it!... Detox Rank C wasn't enough??!?! I will use my strongest detox spell so stay still. [Detox]” (An'dalia)

“Ha!... It worked ! Haaa Thank you very much your highness. Imma kill this f-ing thing !” (Darui'n)
Realizing I may have overdone it I quickly starred at the princess with sad puppy eyes.
You have learned a new Active Skill [Sad puppy eyes]. (Cost. N/A) (Mastery: E)
People who see your sad eyes will feel compelled to help and comfort you.
The effectiveness of this skill varies depending on your skill points (charm) and mastery of the skill. (15 minute cool-down)
Seeing this I quickly allocated 26 skill points into charm making it now 40 and used the skill on the princess.
“[Sad puppy eyes]!” (Kneeko)
“Awwwwwwwwww Cuteeeeee... Darui'n STOP!” (An'dalia)
Darui'n stopped his sword mid-swing at the princess order. My eyes were like enormous wet red marbles shining with all the sadness of all the sad puppies in the world.
“Milady?” (Darui'n)
“The poor thing attacked you because you threatened to kill him! It's all your fault, leave him alone !” (An'dalia)
“B..b...But... Such a young monster... You know they can't understand complex languages...” (Darui'n)
“He must have felt your killing intent! Apologize to him now...” (An'dalia)
“M-..Milady?!...” (Darui'n) She frowned at him destroying all of his hope to refuse.
“Yheaaa take that Mr white knight mwahwhaah Apologize now !” (Kneeko)
“Tsh... I.. Apologize...” (Darui'n) He visibly looked pissed.
“Now, let see... [Identify]” (Kneeko)
Darui'n Hugil'rel (NPC)Race/Species:N/ALevel:254Class:Spirit knightTitle:N/A
“Gulp*... Hmmm Let's try not to piss him off from now on shall we...” (Kneeko)
“Anyway, we need to hurry princess. They must already be on our tails... Let us go now.” (Darui'n)
“You're right.. Let's go! Bye bye little Kneeko!” (An'dalia)
“Ho no you ain't!... I need you for my plans...” (Kneeko)
Not leaving her time to leave I quickly grab a scroll from my inventory and drop it on the ground.
“Ehh? What is this? [Identify]” (An'dalia)
[Familiar Contract] Spell-ScrollMana requirement:250Value:5GRank:DRarity:CommonAllow to perform a familiar contract with a monster. If your affinity with the creature is low, the chances of the contract working are almost zero and you may lack control over it.

I had been a monster in Alterlife1 for a long time and knew very well what I was doing. Right now if I die, I will have to restart from zero... But if I am someone's familiar, I will be forced back into the “familiar dimension” and wont be able to get out for 24h... Which is by far the cheapest way for a monster like me to become immortal...
Well as long as my owner doesn't die... The safest way would be to contract with a player since they can't die and all... But she's a princess! I mean.. yeah... If I'm to be someone's pet, I want my owner to be royalty! guhuhu*
“Darui'n! Look!...” (An'dalia)
“That little lizard gets weirder the longer we stay in his company... How can he have such an expensive scroll ? Does it recognize you as it's master?” (Darui'n)
“I'll do it ! Kneeko will become my cute pet!” (An'dalia)
“Don't raise your hopes to high princess... Since you are not a beast tamer, the chances of the contract succeeding are almost nonexistent...” (Darui'n)
“Buhhhh!” (An'dalia) She pouted at Darui'n making him blush.
“Hoo! I see... So that's how it is eh...guhuhuhu*” (Kneeko) I threw a mischievous look at Darui'n.
“Sorry OP knight but this princess' mine mwehehehe*” (Kneeko)
The princess quickly unrolled the scroll, placed her hand on it while staring at me. Then I felt her pouring mana into it just before this appeared.
An'dalia Elmda'ril wish to form a familiar contract with you.AcceptDecline
“ACCEPT! Mwahahaha” (Kneeko)
We exchanged a bit of mana then a new option appeared in my interface. I could now get in and out of a “familiar dimension”. It simply is my own private, personal dimension. The dimension automatically creates the ideal habitat for my species to live in. It is also the place I will be stuck in for 24h if I die.
“I did it!! yay!!!” (An'dalia) She quickly grabbed me and squished me against her face in celebration. Luckily for her, monsters can't hurt their master, so the poison had no effect on her anymore. Darui'n was agape with his eyes as big as melons.
“Everything about this creature is weird... I'll keep an eye on it.” (Darui'n)
“Tch! Stupid knight !” (Kneeko)
[...]
All of a sudden, An'dalia was staring at me with eyes even bigger than those Darui'n had earlier.
“D...d- Did you just speak?” (An'dalia)
HA! crap I forgot about that... The bond between pet and master allow them to understand each others. I don't have a body allowing me to use humanoid speech but as my Master she could definitely hear that. Time to think fast.
“Qweekk! Qweekk!” (Kneeko) Hummm that's not exactly the mighty roar I was imagining but it'll do...
“Uhh.. Must have imagined it...” (An'dalia)
“We wasted enough time, we need to go now princess!” (Darui'n)
“Yes! I'm coming!... Kneeko! Go back now.” (An'dalia)
Your master summoned you to the “familiar dimension”.AcceptDecline
I declined and as fast as lightning, crawled on her body toward the warm and humid canyon located between her gigantic breast. This was the perfect environment for me to relax in.
“KYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!” (An'dalia)
[30 minutes later]
Both of them had given up on trying to get me out of this wonderfully comfortable canyon and resumed their journey. All you could see was me poking my head out of her cleavage from time to time like a prairie dog in order to asses our surroundings. Actually in the dark humidity of this canyon, I was relaxing and playing online java games while they walked.

Rise of the Firstborn
[A participant in the Royal Road Writathon Challenge]As the inhibitor rises and the eternal flame is quenched, our lands shall be freed, and only then will the Princess be set to flee. It began with ice. A relentless, bone-chilling tickle of frost that stretched across the lands of Axulran, crawling over the mountain crests and freezing the grassy meadows. Frozen in time, the kingdom fought for political control all across the region of Ellixus, paying no mind to the death and torment they may cause along the way. Cateline Bennett, a princess consumed with ice, found herself lost in a foreign kingdom with nothing but her wits to survive. As she explores this unknown land, she unravels her past and discovers that the magic she had concealed for so long could unleash chaos so intense, it could destroy the world as she knew it. With her untapped magic and new friends, Cateline must vanquish the enemies that threatened the world of Denzethea as they knew it, else they, and all they knew, would crumble to ruin. NOTE: A review on this fiction has indicated that certain themes were traumatizing. While I believe this to be exagerated, I have added the appropriate tag for those who may be sensitive to those themes (fever dreams, delusions, and trials and tribulations).

Rising from the Depths
Earth is bought and fused with two other alien planets, but before the new overlords take total control, the System gives the original inhabitants one last chance to reclaim their fates. Stuck on an unfamiliar world in the midst of sentient creatures and savage monsters, humanity will struggle to survive until they learn to adapt to their harsh, new reality. However, Silas could ask for little more as the calamity provides him with the opportunity to turn his wreck of a life around and finally face the mess he once ran away from. Little does he know of the terrible foes he will face on the way, the grand powers he will gain, and the legions he will command. Author’s note: System-regulated Apocalypse story following a powerful (but not overpowered) MC and the village that he helps set up. While it is graphic, it isn't overly dark. Now complete!

Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.
