"Ahahah, with my new evolution, I'm sure that even if I can't be called good-looking, I'm at least better than Help"
H.E.I_.P.Yeah, sure, if with good looking you mean scary as hell and with you mean more horrifying than me, then you're completely right. Have you tried to see yourself in a mirror before speaking rubbish? No? Then here you are http://imgur.com/AdvMUV2
A familiar 3D image appeared in front of me. Sure, as the idiot said I could have used a mirror, but it seem that this body does not permit to much neck movement, so I have to make do with my senses, moreover... it's more rewarding to cheat Help in actually helping me once in a while.
While advancing to the 7th circle, I gained the Lightning magic control, I also leveled up some skill masteries, though not as much as I would have liked, but it can't be helped.
The one who gave the most problems is , I thought it would do something to buff other kinds of magic, but it seems I was wrong, no matter what I do, nothing comes out of it.
It feels like if I'm like a blind man trying to find a needle in a gigantic haystack... impossible, I pity the ones born with only this affinity... unless in the world someone managed to find that needle.
On the road I killed some undeads, but the experience they gave me was minimal, it seems that I need to find undead in the same as me, even with enemies at level ninety, I only managed to rise to level ten.

As I push my hand in the 7th circle, the familiar feeling of light essence came to me, it seems that here I'll be able to bring my light resistance up to -69%.
After I completely enter the 7th circle, a fireball is sent in my way from the distance; fantastic, it seems that here the undeads are finally able to use magic, and the classic skeleton mage decided that I was an easy target... naive.
As the fireball neared me, I created a stone wall in front of me, while at the same time another one rised behind the skeleton mage; from then it was easy, I just pushed the stone wall behin the skeleton a little and it came crashing down. *CRUNCH*
You have leveled up
You have leveled up
You have leveled up
This single skeleton just gave me more experience than I have gained on the road until now, it also seem that it isn't coming anytime soon, it's like the more high evolution tier and high level you have, the more time this place needs to revive you... to be reborn as the lowliest ghoul could have been a blessing in disguise, if not I don't know how much time I would have needed to get out of the 8th circle.
Well, the 7th circle looks odd, the previous one were a plain and a mountain range, this one... I can only definy it as multiple canyons linked together; I need to decide if I want to pass it from the outside or from the inside.
Probably the best idea would be from outside, but I don't have any means to fly, so I could very easily get stopped from the cliffs, not to mention the flying undead up there. The reason I say it would be better this way is because something is screaming at me to not enter in the canyon, let's call it a sixth sense.

All right, it's not like I really have a choice, I can only enter it and be careful; someone once said: without risk, there is not reward.
In the canyon, undeads are tightly packed and there is a never ending fight among them; as soon as an undead perish, others are being revived, you also have to look out for where you put your feet; no one knows if there is the remain of a still undead.
The undead in there can be categorized in 3 types: dullahans, abominations (a mix of a lot of zombies) and wraiths. All the others are being killed as soon as they revive or are being absorbed.
The good news is that because I have been practicing the Stealth skill, I'm able to pass them without being noticed, nevertheless sometimes either by luck or because they sensed me, an attack is thrown at me; so I have to enter the fight until I'm able to escape everyone line of sight to disappear again.
I know that if I continue this way, maybe not today or tomorrow, but after some time my stamina will be reduced to zero, in this world the level up doesn't fill your health, mana or stamina, here once you're exhausted, your movements get messy, this cause your battle prowess to be greatly reduced.
Because of that, I'm heading to the only place where less and less undead are present, for instance it's also the same place from where my sixth sense is telling me to stay away, but what can I do if not ignore it?
Once I managed to put some distance between me and the undeads, the sight that greets me is a strange one; a manor as high as the canyon is blocking my way; whatever is keeping the undeads at bay, it's inside that manor... doesn't that mean that if I can get my hands on it, I should be able to get past this canyon easily?
The only problem is: who was able to build a manor here? are there traps inside it? and most of all, does someone inside this place?

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).

Beyond The Game (Abandoned)
Kaine sighed as his foe advanced once more, never letting up, barely giving him time to breathe. He pressed forward as well, excited and ready, welcoming the bloodshed that was to come. His short blade, meeting the bestial warrior's bone-made longsword. Their weapons clattering sound into each of their ears when they clashed. Kaine pushed, as did his foe, beginning the contest of strength. A dance which Kaine controlled the steps of. As their eyes met, both of them weary, but Kaine's expression was resolved...maddened almost. Whilst his foe's was fear-struck, the creature was terrified down to its core. As were its comrades which surrounded them, watching, waiting for an opening to have at Kaine themselves. Seeing many...but they faltered, as the dead had seen the same openings before. Their battered, broken and still freshly bleeding bodies laying sprawled about their surroundings. It is just one... One of them thought in shaken disbelief. Just...Just one man but he kills so many...smiling even! Glancing from the dead, and back at Kaine as he slew another. No...this is no man... Was its panicked conclusion. This one's a monster! As Kaine turned to face it, weapon ready and grinning widely throughout his approach.
