Chapter 10 - Mad Geneticist
Reginald spent the next week polishing up his dungeons and leveling up at maximum overlevels, reaching a whopping level of twenty before he settled down to purchase more perks, and increase his abilities and skills.

Perk: Avatar Mental Supremecy Tier Five
Your Avatar gains a bonus +5 to all mental stats per level before Overlevel Calculations.
Perk: Avatar Core Mana Tier Five
Your Avatar keeps access to your Core Mana and Regen
Perk: Avatar Physical Combat Mastery Tier Five
Your Avatar has mastered all physical weapon masteries.
The Physical and Mental Supremecy as well as the Physical Combat Mastery perks cost double the standard perk values, making it so that he could only get seventeen Perks for his Avatar outside of the perk to generate one. Then again, his Avatar would now gain ten points to all his stats except Luck, which would gain five, before calculating the overlevel. As an Avatar, he cannot get bonuses for things like Loli status, but seeing how easily he will overpower next to anything after a few level ups, he was absolutely thrilled. Reginald checked his Perk points and saw that indeed, he had but a single Perk remaining.
Reginald spent the better part of a full day going over the pros and cons of each of the races, their bonuses, their detriments. He decided to try to create his own race, which was when he was also informed that had to keep the Control Crystal with his Avatar to serve as a link between the Dungeon Core and Avatar, so he made sure to implant that behind the sternum and between the lungs. He pulled up lots of different information on the formation of the body.
The Bones were made out of a diamond-tough, hollow organic coral from one of the deep water worlds that the system knew of, which also had great magical conductivity. For the muscles, he mixed the muscles of the fast-twitch muscles of the speed races with the dense muscles of the naturally strong races. He cut down on the amount of intestines needed by focusing a spell into his organs which would convert any waste that made it from the stomach into mana, which was then added to his circulating mana, as he designed the mana to flow through his body in veins and arteries similar to his blood but not mixed with his blood. He had two hearts, one for pumping blood, and one for pumping fluidic mana. The brain he made using the condensed grey matter of the Qurandite race, who gained a +3 Intelligence and +2 Wisdom every level.

After all the internals were arranged and the genetics spliced together, he started sculpting the exterior, granting it a six pack, retractable bone claws, he granted it a dragon's eyesight. The hair was a deep emerald green color, the body and face lean, sculpted, standing about six feet in height. Of course, he had to give himself a respectable size down there too, since he wasn't going to have to worry about pride issues. Once he finished all of the double checking of the genetics and testing it in a simulation, he poured mana into the creation of his Avatar, shockingly requiring him to channel mana until it reached a full million mana points to spawn it. He then checked the message that popped up.
You have created a new Race!
Race: Dunatar
Through the careful manipulation of the genetics of multiple races, you have created an absolutely new race of highly overpowered beings. These beings are perfectly built to house a Dungeon Crystal in the hollow behind their sternum. Non-Avatars can grow their own Mana Crystal there to enhance Mana Capacity. While looking moderately human, all Dunatars have jewel toned hair and the ability to extend diamond-bone claws.

Everything went black and then Reginald coughed as he inhaled for the first time in months, his eyes opened wide to take in the surroundings he had previously only known as a spirit in a core.
You have activated your first Avatar! Congratulations!

Reginald stood up and stretched, one of his partitions creating a set of silk underarmor clothes for him, which he pulled on before entering his Vault and taking the Dungeon Lord of Devestation set and equipping it and checking his statistics again.

"Sweet, it automatically separated the buffs from the default!" Reginald cheered with a rich, deep, hypnotic voice. "Woah, is that what I sound like now? Epic! Alright, time to head up to the Guild House and eat something!"

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.

Reverend Insanity(But it was me DIO!)
“I Dio, perhaps I failed to ascend to Heaven.Yet, even now, I still believe that I’ll be the victor who stands above all!Be on this or another world, I shall claim absolute victory, or I’ll be crushed by the chaos outside this world and vanish into nothingness.Heh, either way, I’m already bound to die, so why I don’t give it a try?” With this thought on mind, Dio ripped the space as he was on his last breath, and he was transported to a different world. Gu's, what is that?Are they like they Stands of my world?----------------------------------------- This is a fanfic of both Reverend Insanity made by Gu Zhen Ren and Jojo's Bizarre adventure made by Hirohiko Araki. This fanfic will take place around the same time Fang Yuan used Spring Autumn Cicada for the first time, but it will includea 'twist', by Dio's arrival. Anyway, even though this fanfic takes place at the start of the first chapter of Reverend Insanity and the end of the third part of Jojo's Bizarre adventure, yet you shouldn't read this unless: You completed the novel of Reverend Insanity and that you have already read the end of the 6 part of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. If you have read those two stories, or if you don't mind being spoiled, then go on.

God Forge: Forge of the Mind (book 1) [draft 2]
AZTERON'S JOURNALGods ravaged the land...The mortal realm, Anhsook Del Iris, suffered unrelenting attacks. Who knew why, or what they wanted? They wiped entire cities off the map. They searched for something.I didn't believe in them! What a fool! We had the world to ourselves. Our magic was our own; our science, our own-our lives needed to be... our own.Everything changed.My friends, my loved ones; they perished as angels of the celestial tyrants swarmed. Few survived the assaults, and even fewer could fight back.I sat by and watched the slaughter for years, always fearing-scared that next they'd kill my wife or son. But I made a discovery. I discovered what the corrupt deities sought. In the town of Angel's Outpost, deep under the ice caverns of Sheeva, I found a mythical artifact; the Philosopher's Stone.It was then I formed a plan. If desired the item so, I'd deliver it-in the form of a warrior that able to bend the power to his will; a god slayer to defeat them! A problem existed. How to hide it? What was the price of the sacrifice to end them? The soul of he whom I cared for most.- Azteron Zirnoff
