《Empress' Evolution》5. The reason she fights I
Advertisement
Running away was the most exceptional technique for preserving one's life; if you wish to live, you must have the right mind to utilize this technique. If you cannot win against an enemy, then you must — MUST either avoid him at all cost or kill him without him noticing.
If you couldn't do any of the two, then the mystical art of running away was something that one must learn to execute boldly.
Lilith does not know how to fight, she had some Active Skills, but she still couldn't use it properly. In her previous life, she fought with her tongue (not that way) and sometimes with a bomb.
She was running for dear life and was haul assing, trying to get away from the Goblins that had their dicks and tongue out.
Having over 60% fatigue did not help her in the least. She was slowly losing stamina; even with the title, it was too much for Lilith.
So, she asked Alpha for any suggestions she could take! She created a small rawr as she tried to speak!
'Hey! Do I have some kind of function in the system that will let me save our asses?'
[NO! Just continue what you are doing! Get away, quickly, oh shit, they are gaining on us, move those legs of yours! Move it!]
Alpha was in the same situation as her. Although she was the system in Lilith's mind, Alpha still shared a body with her. If Lilith dies, she does not know what would happen. The Goddess did not answer her question when she asked what would happen to her if Lilith dies.
The Goddess must have feared that she would half-assed the job if she says nothing would happen and become uncooperative.
That must have been the reason why the Goddess kept her silence. And holy shit, was Alpha trying to do everything for Lilith to improve and become stronger. That arrogant tone was written off in a heartbeat.

The Goddess was a genius! If Alpha could have left Lilith's body, she would have already, but she couldn't, so the only thing she could do was cheer for Lilith to do her best.
[Come on, you trained so hard to run, now show me what the venomous snake can do. Show me the determination to live. Fuck, one of them jumped! Look out!]
Lilith turned around and saw one of the Goblin jumped high up and tried to assault her from above. The little shit had a wide grin on its face as if it had already won.
Having seen that grin, she immediately turned into a Ravager Newt (Salamander) in order to avoid getting hit by the pointy stick it carried.
*Crash!*
The Goblin missed and crashed to the ground in a nasty fall. It broke its left arm and left leg! Alpha celebrated with a laugh, but her laughter shortly disappeared after Lilith turned back to an Ash Leopard and jumped to the side, diving into the thick shrub.
[Ha! Serves you right! We can do this, Lilith; we can get away! What are you doing!? Ahh, — I see!]
Realizing Lilith's plan, Alpha's laugh resurfaced.
Having dived into the shrub, Lilith promptly turned back into a newt and sneaked past the Goblins searching for her and then approached the fallen Goblin.
She was just a few more meters away from the groaning Goblin trying to move despite its injuries.
[Goblins LVL 3 (Common)]
In front was the Goblin who tried to take her life. After checking the premises and confirmed no one was present, she changed form into an Ash Leopard and pounced at the Goblin.
"Lightning Claws!"
"Eeeek!"
Her claws shone with blue light, and lightning coated her claws, which she used to slay the Goblin. The Goblin shrieked, but no one could save it from the tragic end.

Lilith's movement was crude, but she managed to stab it in the abdomen with the first one and the chest on the second. Even though a ribcage was protecting its heart, she managed to pierce it without facing much resistance.

'My fatigue resets when I level... that's really useful.'
She managed to kill a Daemon with her own hands, and she managed to collect some Life Essence along the way. Lilith wanted to celebrate and revel in the liberation she had felt but decided not to and turned back and left the vicinity.
Turning back to a newt, she scuttled away like the lizard she was.
Lilith was running away; she wanted to first hide and recuperate and plan things out. But then, she stopped. A thought popped inside her head.
What if there were stronger enemies out there? Her train of thought arrived at this conclusion.
Greater danger abounds.
'These Goblins are heaven-sent to me. Their levels were not so far away from me that I can't touch them, and gaining battle experience will happen sooner or later.'
Should she hide and run or face the challenge head-on?
[What are you doing? They might find us, you know!]
Alpha noticed her indecisiveness and asked what she was doing, which Lilith answered with confidence and certainty.
'I am going to slay some Goblins.'
It was no use running away. She could only face what was ahead. If she runs, she would never be able to step up again; fear would always be on the back of her head. Her steps were heavy at first but gradually became lighter.
Lilith would fight and improve; she would rise; that was her determination.
Though to achieve all that, she needed to be tricky.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
