《The undead who yearned for life》20-Results of evolution
Advertisement
Here we are, just another three days and my relatives will finally go back to their home; it doesn't seem, but being a tourist's guide is quite tiring.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack viewpoint
I arrived to the peak of the mountain after three hours of running, it seems that the notification about the cut of my stats is real, because my speed was more than halved. I was tempted to increase my stats again to a higher value, but in the end I didn't do it; it was better to first have a good outline of the situation and then change things.
Thanks to the run, I managed to more or less familiarize with my new body, even though a couple of times I smashed some branches (ok, ok, something like ten or twenty times) and other times (not gonna say how many) I went straight against a trunk.
To change both the body and the stats together, now I understand why in novels many monsters are very easy to kill right after their evolution, when I always thought the opposite.
I arrived at the peak of a mountain roughly five kilometer from the arena/valley and my stamina is now down to half, so it would be best to not do physical activities for a while and this includes fights.
Though there are times when you need to push yourself, the idiots who believe that one should train to the point of exhaustion are mistaken; once your body surpass a certain point, it starts to deteriorate and takes damage.
By the way, I found out some time ago that no matter how much I train, I don't gain additional stats; probably in order to maintain balance between monsters and humans, the system made it so that we can't train.
Following this, it also probably means that no matter how much I learn (from books) I will not gain intelligence and wisdom; the only way to do that is to figure out things about the system or something along those lines.
Now, how about the stat reduction? It seems that each time a monster evolve, his physical status gets reduced; so that a level one monster can't kill a level one hundred human... this unless the monster repeatedly evolve or is born with powerful stats (for example a dragon).

This means that the only stats that get reduced are the ones wich are put after the evolution and not the ones before, or every time a monster evolve, he would become become as weak as before the evolution.
The reason the mental stats don't get reduced is probably because if a monster finally become intelligent and then it gets his intelligence reduced, it would goback to mindless... and no intelligent monster would chose it... this also explain why and monsters of the various species have more skills and different behaviours.
If things really works this way, this means that I have become a cheat, in the case that I manage to not use any of the stats that I will gain from now on and I only use the ones from my previous evolution (that I skipped), I can potentially keep all the stats from now on and never suffer the stat reduction.
Congratulations, you figured out how and why the stat reduction takes place, you also found a way to cheat the system; for this you will suffer a stat reduction as the only way to maintain the rules of the world.
Intelligence +10, Wisdom +10
WHAT? This was my chance to become powerful in this world, if I figured out a way to do it why should I get punished for that?
Thanks to your innate skill Severed by fate, you rejected the interference of the system.
Ah, get that you fucking system, from now on I am a cheat... unless I'll need those stats for a very important matter.
After the status, it's time for the new skills: "Show Earth, Fire and Ki control"
Earth control (beginner lv6): This skill gives you the ability to freely control earth and replace every kind of earth magic attack.
Fire control (novice lv5): This skill gives you the ability to freely control fire and replace every kind of fire magic attack.
Ki control (beginner lv2): This skill gives you the ability to freely control the Ki in your body and replace every kind of Ki skill (this does not means that the effects of the Ki on your body disappear, contrary those effects will get stronger).

So I'm now able to use those elements in a fight, the skills that I just acquired are without a doubt something that only monster can have... the monster way to use magic that the humans will never be able to use; they probably need to have a specific skill or recite some arias in order to use magic.
In other words, this means...
Congratulations, thanks to you efforts, the skill Shadow claws evolved in Elemental claws
Congratulations, thanks to you efforts, you developed the skill Stealth from changing the properties of the skill Ki reinforcement
Congratulations, thanks to you efforts, you developed the skill Elemental cloak from changing the properties of the skill Stealth
Congratulations, thanks to you efforts, you developed the skill Assassinate from changing the properties of the skill Charge+
Congratulations, thanks to you efforts, the skill Charge+ evolved in the skill Elemental Charge
This should be all I can do for now, in the future I should be able to develop more skills, but for now these will do; oh well, the last thing to do is to distribute my remaining stat points and take a look at my elemental affinities.

Ah, this means that once you get at fifty percent of an affinity, another one gets unlocked, I wonder what the other are... some of them I can more or less say what will be; like ice (for water affinity) and space (from the dark affinity).
The last one I found out about it only because there were clues on the home management windows, for the others I can't even imagine.
Ah, now that I think about it, didn't I earn a from the God of the Underworld? Advertisement Previous

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Their Wife
Nea Riar, a human, accidentally stumbles upon a portal to another world full of everything she has thought to be a myth. There she meets five men; Fae, Demon, Shifter, Warlock, and Incubus. What these five men have in common is that they are each seen as a threat in a society ruled by matriarchy. In the world of Asorix, Arradona is a Queendom where women are superior. Most are physically closer to the size men, the difference in high not as great, and their magical capabilities are naturally stronger from birth. They dominate and tame men, claiming those they see fit as husbands to add to their growing harems. Those of the upper class compete with one another by comparing the number of husbands they have in their harems, ranging anywhere from the tens to the hundreds, and even a rare few in the thousands.In these lands, five men; Zev Dubois, Cassius Montgomery, Jaxon Novak, Ezra Larsen, and Axel Dimitrov are anomalies. They're stronger than any male that has existed, physically and in terms of magical capabilities. The extent of their power is unknown, but it's speculated that they are more powerful than women also. Their power and wealth has earned them a high status without having to marry a wife to gain it, something that was impossible before them. They are seen as a threat by the Council.In an attempt to control them, the Council orders that they must each take a wife in hopes that she can tame these men who show signs of being dominant. The women of Asorix stumble over one another trying to take at least one of the five as a husband for their harem because of their looks, money, and status in society that would all become their own.During this time the five men come across Damanea, a woman who isn't like the rest. She's the opposite of what women in their world are like. Instead of being dominant, assertive, and abusive, she's meek, cautious, and weak. So what do they do?They marry her.WARNING: Slow burn dark romance

Modded Skyr*m: Real Life Edition
It seems that I died while I was playing VR Skyr*m. The next thing I knew, I was standing in front of the middle-aged man who called himself The Overlord of Dremora and Dragons. He told me they were releasing Skyr*m: Real-Life Edition. However, you have to be dead first to play it, and I was chosen as a 'beta tester' of sorts. I found myself in a semi-realistic (thanks to mods) world, and I want to have fun and relax for the rest of my life, and maybe get back to Earth. There's just a small *RAWR* problem. Setting: This happens within the world in The Legend of the Fake Hero, specifically two arcs from now. About: I am writing this for fun as a side project. I intend this to be semi-interactive as I will have polls where readers can influence the book's direction. I have the final say because I believe that too many cooks in the kitchen are not a good thing. The plan is to write it in parts that are around 1-2k words. Typically around every 3 to 6 parts, they will be combined into a finalized chapter and re-edited for a smoother read. Release schedule: When I feel like it. I'll be more inclined to write if there is more interaction, both in comments and polls, towards the story. However, I will be focusing on The Legend of the Fake Hero because that is something I own entirely and enjoy. I will try to do consistent uploads. Disclaimer: This work falls under fair use as it is a partial parity, does not affect the value of the original work, is an original story within the setting (within my setting), and is not being sold. All IP belongs to their respective owners (including myself). Currently uploading on Scribble Hub and Royal Road under the same username.
