《Cleric or Necromancy?》volume 1 Chapter 4: possession
Advertisement
Its been a whole 3 months since my birth I can understand about 50 different words. I got one intelligence for every milestone (5,10,25 and 50) I also got 81 more stamina. My eyesight has developed and I can see far away now. In the house their appears to be someone who appears to be my father, mother and two brothers. Other then that not much else happened. As I listen in in my now sitting position someone approaches me the one that I have labelled “mom”.
“say #$#”(mom)
“%##”(me)
“its #$#)
That must be mom in this language!
“Say #$#”
“Mom”
Ding* you have discovered someones name! Your own mother no less you gain 2 intelligence
The other three people in the house all come near me saying what I think is their names
“@$#”(Dad?
“#%^”(Bro older)
“&^*^”(bro younger)
I try the youngest ones name first as his appears to be the hardest, once I succeed I then get the others two's name after a couple of try's. Sadly I don't get any intelligence from this. After I name them all the excitement is gone and they all leave except for my oldest brother. He keeps staring at me and its kind of creepy. As he sits there staring at me. No one else is around.
“so @$# @$# are you @$% to @$%#”
I tilt my head at him what is he saying?
“@%$# @$%#% you #%$%^ #[email protected]$#”
hmm? He pulls a small blade out of his pocket and get closer. Is he jealous or something? I scream and cry as loud as I can. What is wrong with him? I look directly into his eyes. They are completely black the whole eyeball not just the iris . He looks possessed. My mother runs into the room and sees whats going on. She slaps the blade from my older brother who's name I recognized as Eric. She then grabs what appears to be vial from a nearby cupboard and splashes him with it. I can see his eyes visible clear and return to more natural colours. I think I saw something move behind his eyes... is something trying to posses him?
Ding* you have discovered the problem behind his disease you gain the Observe skill.
Okay lets check out this skill. Skill observe
Observe lv1 (5%)The ability to watch people data and objects and notice small discrepancies
it looks helpful but doesn't help me discern what happened... I wonder if she threw some sort of holy or light water onto my brother Eric...

Ding* you have discovered the cause and effect of holy water on the possessed intelligence +2
hmm this is making me tired I am going to go back to sleep...
I wake up and my stamina is up 2. quite the nice morning gift if I do say so myself. I am however a demanding baby and cry for food. I don't shed tears when I cry I am just really loud. The only time I cry Is when I want food. If I wet myself or.... other things I ignore it until food time and try to go to the bathroom before she gets here to feed me. She cleans me up and then feeds me. To my surprise however she put me on the ground today. This is all to my benefit though I can now try exploring by crawling. Since I have literally inspected everything I could in this room with my eyes. I know that I want out of the room, its way to boring.
I upright myself and slowly lean forward with hands forward. I slowly fall and try to slow it by trying to lean back. I safely get into crawling position. I then try to get my knees under me to perform a proper crawl. However I can't my legs are still flab’s of fat. So I crawl using my arm strength and drag my butt behind me. I make it all the way to right beside the door just as I am about to see something new... someone picks me up...NOOO LET ME EXPLORE ITS SO BORING IN MY CRIB!!! I start crying for real. Please please let me see something else. However my mother ignores me and puts me in the crib.
Ding* you gain 3 strength for learning how to crawl and 3 intelligence for doing it 3 months before the average baby.
I howl in frustration at being so close to my goal! After a while I calm down and look at the bars of the cradle locking me in here. I grab one and try to lift myself. My fat body does not comply so I try to hands still nothing. I try several more times and only ending up tiring myself out.
Ding Stamina + 20 and strength +4 for your workout and using up all your stamina!
Damn me and my small amount of stamina! So tired...zzzz.
When I got up I was Angry and spent the next couple hours angry. Angry that I would need to spend the next couple years acting like a child, that I couldn't do anything right now. I was just angry.

Ding* you have gained the trait Axe to Grind

Axe To Grind lv1 (7%)There is a fire in your heart that can't be quenched. And it makes you stronger +1 Strength per level
hmm this will be helpful if I get strong enough I can breakout of this crib! My mother hearing my baby self laughing has walked into the room. I smile at her while sitting up. Its only so much longer till I escape your clutches women only so much more time! She stares at me with a worried look and I try working out again
Ding* you gain 2 Strength and 5 stamina from your workout
I then go back to sleep. When I wake up I am being poked by an old man in robes. I look directly at him. He looks at me. He was a long goatee and is bald. He has a skinny body and seems fairly fit for his size. He then takes out a jewel that is see through kind of like a diamond but it is a perfect sphere. I quickly garb the orb and it becomes completely white. The old man sighs and relaxes but then the orb becomes completely black. Must be for testing affinity... the old man's face goes completely pale and so does my mothers. I am assuming black = evil in this world for the time being. The old man must be a sage if he has items like this...
Ding* you have discovered the town sage wisdom + 3
hmm the old man seems to be in a predicament not only am I a super holy child but a super cursed one in their minds. Man being a wild card in a deck is so much fun. I watch as they argue about what they want to do with me. The old man seems to have come up with an idea. He picks me up and puts me onto the floor. This time I am able to crawl properly and make a bee line right from the door. I get out and look around. The walls are all brick like my room the floor is wood. It appears to be a dinning room as there is a table and chairs. Seeing nothing interesting I turn left and head to another door. This one is closed however and I simply sit in front of it. The sage moves forward and opens it. I crawl forward and see that its a bedroom. My older brother is sleeping on the floor. I crawl right up to him. And poke his face. He awakes startled and I hit his nose. My attacks aren't very effective however as he simply turns over. I see what appears to be a black birthmark on his neck. I poke it repeatably and I can feel the possessed spirit from earlier coming out. It somehow speaks telepathically to me.
“what do you want?”
“no idea just annoying you.”
He slips out of my brother and into my finger. I can feel him moving around my body.
“hmm your too strong of a vessel for me to take over”
“would you like to be my first servant?”
“me serve you? As if”
I move my finger away from my brother.
“Do you want me to purify you then?”
He tires rushing back to my finger that was touching my brother.
“Damn you little bastard”
“You can posses things correct?”
“Yes”
“Well if I were to start using necromancy do you think having your own undead body would be to your benefit?”
I can feel his mind moving around my body trying to find something else to possess. When I finish he stops trying to escape.
“Well you do have the dark affinity over 25 % which is the requirement to raise the undead... and having my own body would be quite the improvement...fine. deal mortal.”
Ding* you have convinced a Shade to become your minion you gain 3 intelligence and 2 wisdom as well as a minion
I then Yawn and realize how tired I am. I lay on the ground and fall asleep.
Ding* You love to work out don't you? Strength +1 stamina + 5
Ding* You gain the skill exercise

I'm a brick! But why am I a Humanoid? [A Non-Level LitRPG with a Humanoid MC full of Magic, Drama and Comedic Undertone]
Equality.Prosperity.Choice. These are the words that Agrea defines itself by, but to a brick that has known only ignorance, they are evils that rot a society. But destroying an ideal society will have to wait, first the brick must learn some pesky things, like how to pee or deal with pesky systems that seem to have a grudge against you.

8 159Barbarians
The Triumvirate has known peace for 10,000 years. Their technology dwarfs that of Man, and for almost a century now Humanity has done everything they have asked of us, in order to learn even a fraction of their secrets. With their help, we have abolished poverty, and hunger. War is now a thing of the past. We have made incredible strides in a very short time period...and yet the Triumvirate races keep us at arm's length. They see us as half-evolved apes, too violent even now to keep company with our betters. They call us...Barbarians. But sometimes, a Barbarian is exactly what you need. (This incredible piece of artwork was a commission by Harry Rowland (@rowl_art_)...and I couldn't be more amazed at the job he's done. If you're looking for something like this, give him a yell.)

8 338What's This Fiction ? A Very Incomplete Project.
A fiction about itself and it's writer. Which is a very narcissic choice from the author, really, couldn't he have written anything else ? The cover was hastily made on gimp by the author. He has no rights to the image used on it. He doesn't have the artist's agreement for using it, either. Because he has no idea who's the artist.
