“We are now ready my precious friends... Irya, you can begin now.” (Kneeko)
“ϒ બબપ્બઆશ્ચર્યજનક જાદુ વસ્તુ જોડણી કાસ્ટિંગ બેક δ Ψ બેϖ પ્લેકσ φ બેε α Σઆશ્ચર્યજનક જાદુ વસ્તુ જોડણી કાસ્ટિંગΘ Γ....” (Irya)
The circle began to pulse with a bright light but I couldn't feel anything. We already knew that we wouldn't feel anything from our previous experiment so we simply needed to wait for the ceremony to be over and for our title to appear.
“Ho!” (Nargaroth) -- “Woa...” (Anastaria) -- “Uhh?.” (PigFace) -- “Holy-” (Irya) -- “Eh?” (Irene) -- “Meow?” (Mendy)
New title: Vindictae Clan Member
If activated, this title grants (+350 strength) (+350 Intelligence) (+350 Vitality) (+350 Resistance) (+350 Endurance)
“Holy crap! Irya, we did an amazing job...” (Kneeko)
“It's a lot better than the pure blooded dragon titles!!” (Irya)
“Guhuhuhu* And it's not over.” (Kneeko)
You have learned a new Active Skill [Humanoid Shift]. (Cost. N/A) (Mastery: -)
Allows you to take human form. You can partially transform your body so that you can use your true body's abilities.
You have learned a new Active Skill [ID Hide]. (Cost. N/A) (Mastery: -)
Only those who are from the same clan as you can use the Identify command on you. All the others will only see, (???).
You have learned a new Passive Skill [Intimidating Aura]. (Cost. N/A) (Mastery: -)
This skill affects the target's instincts. They will feel as if you are a truly powerful being who they should fear. (The more skill points you have, the stronger the effect.)
You have learned a new Active Skill [Vindic Flames]. (Cost. 50 Mana per second) (Mastery: B)
“Fire type” attack shooting black flames consuming mana instead of oxygen.
You have learned a new Active Skill [Vindic Wave]. (Cost. 800 Mana) (Mastery: B)
Shoot a ball of “mana disturbing” energy. Can dispel attacks of equal or lower ranks.
[...]
“SUCCESS!” (Kneeko)
“Yayyyy!” (Irya)
“Fufufufu* It seems all the work you have done wasn't wasted. Congratulation hone-... Kneeko and Irya.” (Anastaria)
It was a happy moment. We were all celebrating and chatting about how useful these techniques would be in the future. The title gave 250 more points than my “Divinity” title so it was obviously something unbelievable. It was definitely better than being immune to foul smells so I deactivated “Grave Digger” and enabled the clan title instead.
ID hide was the exact same ability used by all these annoying dragon who I could never identify and would hide our information from any outsiders. Vindic Flames was a skill identical to the fire type spell called [inferno] excepted for the fact that the Vindic Flames were black and couldn't be extinguished with water.
Oil fire is the same and can only be extinguished if you cut the fire's air supply or remove the combustible substance. Vindic flame was functioning the same way and will extinguish only when there's no mana left to consume. What you could do was basically set your enemies on fire and it would eat at their mana pool until it's empty.
Intimidating Aura was self explanatory and did pretty much the same as [TerrorEyes] without the need to make eye contact. Next was Vindic wave. This skill was copied from the Rokugan's [Oblivion] skill shown by Irene back in the dungeon and could disrupt or even dispel any attack of lower ranks. This was very useful to block attacks you are weak against.

Of course these skills were mostly aimed at magic casters and would be less useful for warriors such as Nargaroth but there was no arguing how powerful these skills and title were. First thing we did was use the Humanoid Shift ability.
First was Nargaroth. When he transformed he looked like a 7 feet tall, bald black man. Even if he was smaller, he still had the shape of a body builder and I doubt anyone would want to mess with him. He still had his yellow tattoos making him look even more intimidating.
Of course this wasn't the most shocking thing. All the girls were staring at him in terror after seeing his pants drop to the floor due to his body having shrunk. That dude had a giant anaconda in his pants that could freeze the blood of any woman. I pity whoever gets fucked by him in the future...
Next was PigFace. She didn't look that different from before except for the colour of her skin which became milky white. Her lips were pink and supple looking. She still had black eyes and hair but amazingly, her breasts grew even more. I wonder how she can still stand upright with those...
Then it was Mendy's turn. She still didn't have much thought in her head but seemed somewhat smarter. More human than beast. Once she used Humanoid Shift my jaw dropped. She was a 5”2 tall, fair skinned woman with beautiful fire red hair.
Her eyes were still those of a cat with their piercing yellow colour and vertically slit iris. She had cute small breast and all the qualities of a loli but this wasn't what made my jaw drop. Well there was the fact that she was naked but what truly got to me were her amazingly cute red cat ears.
Humanoid Shift allows partial transformation so she could replace these cat ears with human ears but she instinctively kept her original ears. “Kneeko Approves!”. I walked up to her and began patting her head while copping a feel of her ears.
“PurRRRrrrrrrrrr*” (Mendy)
Urgg... She closed her eyes in ecstasy and began purring which almost made my pants explode ... I definitely need to go take a “walk” with Asta later. Speaking of Asta, after using Humanoid Shift her appearance didn't change at all. It was the same for Irene and Irya which was logical since the skill was basically the same they had been using all along.
Next it was my turn. I activated the skill and no change happened. Of course I needed to deactivate my ring to see the effect which I immediately did. As soon as I did, my appearance remained the same with two exception. My hair was now pitch black and my eye red.
I didn't remember seeing humans with red eyes so I felt like I looked more like a vampire than a human but I was still handsome. Then as I was contemplating myself in a polished bronze plate as mirror I noticed something. Asta, Irene and Irya were looking at me with the weirdest eyes ever...
“What is it? Do I look ugly?” (Kneeko) I asked curiously.
“Y-you look just like....” (Anastaria)
“Yea... totally like him.” (Irene)
“It's a bit disturbing. The face is a bit different but still...” (Irya)

“.... I look like someone familiar to you 3 ?” (Kneeko)
“Yea... You look just like father...” (Irya)
“Urgg... Would it cause problems when it comes to taking “walks” with you?” (Kneeko)
“Kneeko I know you can hear this. How about a “walk” right now?“ (Anastaria) She thought while fidgeting with red cheeks.
“Absolutely not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! pant* pant* pant*” (Irya)
“Father was handsome after all...” (Irya)
“What are you talking about? Why should hair and eye colour cause any problem to walk?” (Irene)
“Silly big bro.” (Irene)
Reassured, I then materialized my wings. 2 fiery wings emerged from my back causing the cave to instantly become as hot as a sauna. Guhuhuhu this isn't very subtle but it's bad-ass as fuck! Then I did the same with my eyes and then began to glow as if they were made out of fire. (Which was the case)
We celebrated by drinking and partying for the rest of the day. Irene who was usually restricted to juice had her first drink tonight. She began to strip and act a little bit strange so we put her to sleep in her bed before she did something she would regret.
After that I kept pestering Asta and Irya to break their “no threesome” rule but it was in vain. Because of my alcohol immunity I ended up faking drunkenness as an excuse to cop a feel at PigFace's melons and Mendy's ears.
Seeing what I was doing, my 2 dragonesses decided to take turns at draining me of my essence like true succubus(es). It was a night I would never forget as I felt as dried as an old raisin afterwards. It was not only me who got lucky as all the hobgoblin(esses) began to fight among themselves for a turn at the “fight the anaconda” game.
Alcohol, sex and battle was the perfect type of party for monsters such as us. The day after I decided to gather everyone for some hunting. Everybody living in our territory had been summoned for the occasion. Standing before all these attentive eyes I began my speech.
“Monsters -- that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it is fate that today is a completely random day, but you will all be fighting for our supremacy, not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution -- but from tentacles groping. We're fighting for our right to kill, to destroy. And should we win the fight, this day will no longer be known as a random day, but as the day when our group declared in one voice:” (Kneeko)
“What the hell is he talking about?” (Crowd)
“We will not go quietly into the night! - We will not vanish without a fight! - We're going to live on! - We're going to survive! - Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!“ (Kneeko)
[...]
Clap* ......... Clap* ..... Clap* clap* clap* clap* clap* clap* YEAAAaaaaaaa!* crowd going wild*
“This man's nuts... Sighhhh* I love him so much!“ (Anastaria)
“Let's slaughter this monster who thinks he can squat in our lands and grope our women!” (Kneeko)
“YEAAAAAAaaaaaaaa! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!“ (Crowd)
Drunk on battle-lust, the crowd began sharpening their crude weapons. I took out my twin blades and began the march toward the giant lake located in the middle of our territory. Today since we needed as many fighters as possible I left the dungeon surveillance to low ranking goblins.
"Kekekeke* Such energy! Smell like slaughter.. HOoo i'm getting hard." (Itzal)
"Urrrgggg* So much blood lust. Spookyyyy...." (Argy)
The dungeon had stayed secure for so long I wasn't worried in the slightest. All the hobgoblins, goblins and ogres were present as well as all the Vindictae members. This giant tentacle porn-esque creature was going to be used as celebratory food at tonight's bonfire.
When we arrived at the lake, our group began to shout battle-cries and taunts aimed at forcing the creature out of the dept of this bottomless lake. 5 minutes later still nothing was happening so we began to throw rocks and various attacks at the water. After a while there was still no sign of the beast so it is then that I lost patience.
“Everybody stand back!” (Kneeko)
I warned everybody to get away from me before I took my Dranix appearance. Being made out of the hottest fire in existence I dipped my hands and wings into the water. As my limbs touched the cold liquid, a giant explosion occurred.
This giant explosion was created by the water instantly evaporating. The cold liquid turning into gas needed to expand many time it's original molecular size. I kept walking forward into the lake, creating an enormous vapour cloud all around us.
The water couldn't even touch me as it evaporated a few meters before reaching me. The first thought that came to mind was Moses. I felt as if I was splitting the water as I could see the bottom of the lake. After a few minutes the water level had already dropped of a few centimetres.
Sensing that its habitat was in danger, the giant monster we were looking for finally appeared in all it's splendour. It was indeed a giant octopus. The monster was red with blue circles on its body and must have been as big as a 10 story apartment building.
This thing was damn near worthy of being called a titan. [Identify]

8 90Ultraviolet ✔️
I see how people die.It only happens the first time I touch someone. A handshake. My arm brushing yours on the subway. All of it. So much noise, every day and all the time. Drives a girl crazy after a while. If there's no skin contact, my head belongs to me for a few more seconds each day. I've seen every scenario. Except for one.I've never played an active role in a death. That is, until now.Copyright © epicmishamigo 2019July 25th 2019- October 8th 2019
8 121The Exodus Project
This is the original version of Origin before I rewrote it. It's much more simpler, some names and personalities are a little different. THere's nowhere near as much back story or character development/interaction. But the story is essentially at the end of book one. I wrote this 15 odd years ago, and with a bit of polish it doesn't look too bad. The story like Origin is about a group of college students who find a ship that is the last remnant of an ancient human space faring civilisation, they fix her up and go back into space. Along they way they'll meet alot of aliens, religious fundamentalists and conmen.
8 154The Ramayana - Lakshmila's POV
We have read The Ramayana as kids and always knew it to be the story of Rama and his consort Sita. Every character has an important role to play. But not all of them have found much importance is any of the version. One such character is Urmila and her story with Lakshmana. All versions mention Urmila's sacrifice as "Unparalleled" but none depicted it. This story is an attempt to present the story of Ramayana from Urmila and Lakshmana's POV. Note : This story is fictional. The characters are the same. This story is an insight of The Ramayana through Lakshman and Urmila's eyes. There would be Nobody's POV also. The events are the same but the depiction is part of fiction. Parts of the story is loosely based/inspired from Sita's Sister but I have taken creative liberty to give my character more edge and depth.
