《Unlimited Power - The Arcane Path》Chapter 48
Advertisement
Although Leon only wanted to sell his part of the things they obtain inside the dungeon, it looked like Ren wanted to share all the profits. That was good, and all, but Leon couldn’t feel troubled about it. It looked like the new society worked around the coins they obtained by killing monsters, but he didn’t even know how to use the coins he already had, things would get even more complicated with the income he will receive after clearing the dungeon. Leon was the type of person who was loose with money and didn’t know how to spend it…
“Do we have time to clear the dungeon?” Leon asked.
“No, I said to the actual manager of the dungeon that we would clear it,” Ren said. “And that sounded like a joke to those two.”
“Seriously… humanity is supposed to work together in times like these, “ Leon sighed. “Why those guys act like brats?”
“The idea of power blinded that,” Ren answered. “Some people think power makes them better than the others, and because they have power, they can do anything they want.”
“Although there is some logic to it, that is so childish…” Leon sighed. “I bet they think your country is completely free from dangers or wars.”
“Let’s forget about them and concentrate on our mission.” Ren declared.
Leon nodded and finished his meal. After making a few more preparations, Leon, Ren, and Ryoko, accompanied by twelve soldiers, headed to the dungeon. Again, the dungeon was just a cave in a mountain. However, that mountain was covered in ice. Although Leon put some more thick clothes after the ship landed, the more they approached the dungeon, the colder he felt.

It had been a while since Leon learned a new skill, but he had no time to celebrate because even before they entered the dungeon, a Frost Dire Wolf appeared. The creature was huge; it was the size of a small truck. Its red-eyes could make anyone freeze on the spot, and its claw and fangs looked sharper than Ren’s sword. Everyone got caught by surprise, even though they had their slime’s cores in hands, their aim wasn’t ready. However, Leon shot three Fire Bullets in the monster’s face, killing it.
“Only two shots is enough, I guess… at least if I hit their face.” Leon said after watching the Frost Dire Wolf’s face melting.
It was quite a gruesome sight, so Leon felt his stomach getting upset. He act without thinking, so he could feel the angry faces of the soldiers. That being said, they were pale, so perhaps they weren’t angry.
“What are you waiting for? Skin the beast!” Ren ordered five soldiers who had some sharp knives.
“The head of that monster can be used to anything?” Leon asked.
“No, you hit the right spot,” Ren answered. “Only their fur is useful. It decreases the effect of water and ice-related attacks by ten percent and increases the power of your water and ice-related attacks by the same amount.”
“Is that so?” Leon asked.
Leon thought they would waste a lot of time waiting for those five men skin the wolf, but it only took them a single minute. It looked like those knives were magic weapons, but they were also skillful.
“For the time being, try to conserve your mana and let us make good use of the cores,” Ren said. “ but If things get dicey, you can help us.”

“Got it.” Leon nodded.
As much as Leon wanted to clear that dungeon as soon as possible, he had no infinite mana, and he couldn’t rely on blue angel leaves anymore. He could buy a few potions, but he decided to rely on Ren and his soldiers.
The interior of the dungeon was covered in ice as well; everything was so white and blue that it looked like they were in a crystal cave. Since that was the case, they had to walk with care, or they would slip.
Before they could walk even for a minute, a new Frost Dire Wolf appeared. This time the monster got bombarded by Fire Balls before it could even approach. However, the damage caused was meager. Fourteen survivors had the opportunity to cast Fire Ball two times, and they still didn’t kill the creature. Leon finished it with a Fire Bullet.
It couldn’t be helped; not even Ren had magic skills, so his mana and intelligence were low. The free status points they obtained over the last four years they invested in strength, endurance, and speed, but even so, they didn’t want to face the Frost Dire Wolf up close. Looking at the depressed faces of everyone, Leon decided to cheer them up, but since only Ren would understand him, he almost gave up.
“Don’t feel too bad, if you meditate two hours a day, eventually you will obtain the magic power you want,” Leon said.
It would take them four years to reach Leon’s level, but he decided to omit that fact.

Drinker of the Yew: A Necromancer's Tale
Updates Once a Week next update 10/5 Wracked with misfortune, a nameless village along the edge of the Gray Spine rejoiced at the arrival of a paladin. Those celebrations, though, turned to wary tension as the paladin brought an unknown into their midst - his wife Nayinis, who wears the markings of a necromancer. Who is this woman? Why has she come to their village? Nayinis divulges her shadowed past, for she needs the village's trust to defeat the powerful foe that she has been summoned by the divine to face. What to expect: This is a slow-paced, dark, epic-fantasy book written mostly in an archaic first-person style, remniscent of fariy-tale at times. I am expecting the final product to be close to 600-700 pages. The first few chapters introduce a somewhat-steep learning curve of names and mythology of the world that plateaus at aroud chapter 5.

You just became an adult in society’s eyes, but people still treat you like a kid. A year ago you might have had to ask for permission to use the bathroom, but now you can vote, legally buy most things and work, marry, etc. Even if some people still treat you like a kid. So in the simplest non-spoilery terms, this story is about Victor finding himself in a world that isn’t his, with a lot of rules that weren’t given to him upon arrival.

8 188Phantom Storm
"Have you heard, the entire Bonanno crew was brutally murdered!" Exclaimed a youth in his early teens. "What? you're lying, again!" Another similarly aged child responded with crisp denial in his tone. After all, the crew was infamous for their ruthlessness. An eery silence passed between them. Soon enough, the teens' curiosity trumped his ego, and he found himself inquiring in a meek voice. "So...Who did it?" "I heard my father talking about it while he was drunk. Guess what he said?..." The child responded, he was a natural-born storyteller. Listening intently, the other teen urged him on. "It was done by a single person. When the police arrived, the bodies were charred black, likely the work of an electro mage. Most had an arrow or two lodged in their body, and a few were even chopped into neat little slices by a sharp blade." He paused, inhaling sharply. "All the victims had shocked expressions on their faces. As if the enemy was invisible or something. That's why they call that person the Phantom Storm!" concluded the adolescent with an excited glint in his eyes. 2 CHAPTERS PER WEEK (Canada time) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] -------------------------------------------- Follow Itsuki as he is reincarnated in an unfamiliar world, left to discover where he belongs in such a place. Witness his exploits. Watch him build his kingdom, receive a rare class, and overcome trial upon trial. This story is about a man trying to redeem his past errors, constantly striving for better, overcoming immense pain and loss. Our character will improve, learn, become better than yesterday, and strive for more power. All the while working his way up the food chain in this brutal and unforgiving new world. *Disclaimer:* - The protagonist starts weak and a little naive, but I guarantee he will become quite capable over time. There will be no sudden power gains. The protagonist will have to work hard for what he gets. - This story is not about a loner, he'll have a few companions, and they will not be useless. - Some romance will be explored but not take away from the story. The main character will not be dense. Absolutely no harem will happen, but there might be a few love interests, no more than 3. - I will try my best to not follow cliches and stay as original as possible. - This story is my first ever, whether online or in real life. Thus, I might have grammatical errors here and there. The story might have a few plot holes and other such minute mistakes, as well. But I guarantee to try my best. Please give me feedback so that I can deliver a better story and learn to write better.
8 63Tales of the Willful Autonomous Nanobot Generator
Due to over-engineering and poor parenting; a nanobot generator is sent into the wider universe, ready to solve any and all problems...though probably not the way that was intended, or even hoped for. This story is a first time attempt to use a literary device I came up with, where I use 4 randomly selected songs to write short stories. As such there really won't be any cohesive story thread between chapters. If this gets traction, the likelihood for reader polls to influence the next story are high.
