《The World is My Playground》Chapter 13: Battle Prep
Advertisement
I walked back into the clearing to find everyone had been given mats made from oven silk that would have made any member of royalty jealous and here they were being used to fold raw meat. The meat was dripping in blood from how fresh they were. If i had to guess, they were from earth boars from the size of the chunks. As i was taking to the center of the clearing where the rest of my group were, i was pleasantly surprised to see that a small pit fire had been made by where they had pointed out to be where i was to sit, prepared to allow me to cook my own meat if i wanted to. I sat down and ate, the meat was good, but without spices, it wasn’t the very best I've had, but i did not want to disrespect them so whenever i had been asked how everything was, i would always respond with saying that everything was great. They offered juices from fruits in bowls made from the trees around us. The bowls were pretty well made for monsters with no thumbs. It was a great time, many of the monsters were having fun eating away at their portions of meat, or vegetables if they were vegetarian.
After a bit longer of eating, i was able to talk to the Alpha Wolf in charge of the Iron Fang tribe to learn more about the situation the Monster Clans were in. It would see that starting a couple cycles ago, three powerful clans had formed a makeshift agreement of peace, and instead of fighting each other, began taking over the lands of other smaller clans. What started as an island with over a hundred clans, there were now only a dozen or so, with three being the clans that had caused this all. The clans i was with now were all mixed with different monsters due to the need for smaller clans to survive by mixing with other clans for protection and territory. The reason they want me to help is because they sensed something powerful within me, and now that they know that i have the ability to use my own mana to evolve others, they wish for me to evolve enough of them to their next evolutions so that they can stand a chance against the Monster Alliance.
Over the next few weeks, i would be working on evolving monsters from every clan, giving them an elite force that they would each have. Each having something that made them a true force to be reckoned with when compared to any other monster on this island. I created more Nox Kobolds for a swift, brutal elite front line assault. I created Flaming Eagles from the Ember Falcons, capable of firing fireballs that are a couple hundred degrees Fahrenheit, and that explode on impact with a splash radius of ten feet. Their bodies are able to produce a coat of flames that cover their entire bodies and not just the ends of their wings as they normally do, allowing them to burn any enemy that tries to attack them directly. The Mountain Bears were created from the Stone Plated Bears, Making them bigger than myself, with a fur coat that made them look like enormous boulders. Attacking them is like attacking a mountain. The average man or beast would feel their entire bodies tremble from hitting something so hard, their own weapons would break from a single strike alone. Only the strongest of beast on this island would be capable of causing any damage to these monsters. Though in order to compensate for this they were quite slow moving, which made them all the more tank like, which is the role i placed on them.

For the Vipers and Spiders, i decided to dabble a bit with one of the functions of my title, Psionic Prime, when making their evolution. The function i was talking about was the ability to unlock the psionic potential of a any being that has potential in it. I created a sort of espionage type units with them. For the vipers, i gave gave them the ability to burrow underground at fast speeds by coating themselves in a corrosive toxin that melts everything from soft soil to steel. What made them psionic was that those that i evolved based off of their psionic potential gained the ability to take control of another by simply concentrating on their intended target that is within a few feet of them, who must also have a lower intelligence stat. Their scales had a dark purple hue to them at the edges with the rest of each scale being a dark green that blends into them. For the spiders, i made a smaller version of them, about the size of my thumb, while making them completely black with purple spots sprinkled around them. What made them special was that they gained the ability to use their poison to enter the minds of others, causing them to hallucinate, seeing their enemies as allies and their allies as enemies. The spiders would have the ability to control what their target sees from a distance once they have successfully injected them with the poison, and may even delay the effects till a chosen time. Again, this ability’s effectiveness would be determined by the targets intelligence stat.
Over the weeks, i had constantly been honing my mind while recharging my mana in between evolution, and had gotten a better understanding of my new abilities, and had even begun to use it to sense things i never usually sensed. If i focused hard enough, i could vaguely sense all the minds around me within a couple dozen feet, and could feel who had their psionic abilities opened by me, and who did or did not have potential in it.
For the horned rabbits, i had created many more Armored Hoppers. They were going to perform the widely known strategy of blitzkrieg alongside the Nox Kobolds. They were the fastest out of any of the land based monsters that were at my disposal.
Lastly, i also evolved a couple more Jungle Wolves into Direwolves, larger, more aggressive versions of their former selves, and what was really an interesting find was that they were capable of being mounts for the Nox Kobolds. With the Direwolves being the strong, intimidating mounts capable of speeds as fast as the Armored Hoppers, but were not as agile as them, and a Nox Kobold riding on top, that would most certainly scare anything that had to go up against them.
A couple ruby variants of the armored hoppers that i had evolved from the horned rabbits had psionic potential in which i unlocked, revealing that they had the ability to use a weaker version of Soulfire, so they could deal some pretty good damage to even the most heavily armored enemies that we would face,
Another surprise was that out of all the Nox Kobolds under my command, only one had psionic potential, and a very large amount of it in fact. I could already tell that with training, they could become almost as strong as me. It was during one of my meditations that i had finally felt their potential, and when i followed the direction that i had sensed it in, i was surprised to find that the source of it was Rogue.

Of course after finding this out, i told her about her psionic potential to which she was very pleased to know and allowed me to enter her mind to unlock her abilities.
The process to do so is quite strange. I would sit down in my quarters with the being that i was going to unlock their abilities. As i concentrated i would find and isolate the one being's mind and focus on it. After a couple of seconds, i would be able to see their minds and be able to read it, with beings having a stronger potential at psionics having a more guarded, harder to read mind than those with little to no potential at all. With Rogue, i had a hard time just attempting to enter her mind, until suddenly her entire mind became open to me. It would seem that she has some ability to access her own mind without me even having to do much yet to fully unlock her true potential. With full access to her mind, i began to go through her mind, looking for the source of her psionic abilities which would be a small purple shine in the sea of blue which is a person's minds surrounded by a space of pitch blackness. As i delved deep into her mind, i was able to find what i was looking for, a bright shining purple light, brighter than anyone else's that i had ever tampered with. The next phases would be to infuse some of my psionic energies into hers, using it as a catalyst to accelerate her potential for growth in psionics, to which worked very well. Her psionic energies immediately increased, causing me to be glad and begin leaving her mind. After a few training sessions after during the weeks of prepping for the coming battle, Rogue had gained the ability to control minds, cause hallucinations, and learn a couple new abilities that had taken me days to perfect in which she learned within a mere few hours. Her growth was astounding. She learned to create small orbs of psionic energies that when thrown would become unstable the moment they were disconnected from their source and create a blast that would mentally and physically damage everything within a ten foot radius, to which i called, Psionic Grenade. Another ability i had taught her was, Psionic Blade. It would allow the user to use their psionic energies to create a blade of pure energy, in which its damage and cutting force was determined by its user’s potential in psionics. Mine was already able to cut through any tree and rock, and had the look or a dark purple long sword. Rogue had made hers to look like a long curved dagger, with a purple haze coming off of it, making it look very ominous, in which a person should feel due to the effect that she somehow added on to it. If anyone was to be cut by her dagger, even a little scratch, she would gain the ability to begin warping what her opponent sees, making them hallucinate in mid fight, which would be deadly, allowing her to get in free hits while the enemy is confused. It took a few hours, but i was able to mimic her but instead of hallucinations, the effect i added was that it would affect the opponent's body, causing it to stop any healing effects from working on wounds made from my weapon.
In total, i had a force of around sixty Nox Kobolds, divided into six groups of ten, each with one of my personal Nox Kobolds as their captains who would relay the commands that i send to them through our links. Each Nox Kobold would be paired with a Direwolf to mount and charge into battle alongside with the Armored Hoppers who would be commanded by Ruby and the other Ruby Variant Armored Hoppers. They numbered at around a hundred with around twelve variants with Ruby leading them. They would charge in first, killing anything that tries to get in their way of reaching the main base of the Monster Alliance, which was the base of the mountains that were on the island which was discovered by the Ember Falcons that i had sent out to scout out the island from above. Behind them would be the tanks of my force, the Mountain bears, numbering at around two hundred, with another three hundred Stone Plated Bears backing them. Horned Rabbits, numbering at around three hundred and jungle wolves numbering two hundred with another thirty Jungle Vine variants would move in between all the groups, assisting with any that needed help to push forwards to the objective. I had another fifty Flaming Eagles and two hundred Ember Falcons for my areal force, providing aerial support in case i needed it. For the vipers and snakes, I had Psionic Vipers using their corrosive toxins to burrow a network of tunnels underneath the entire island so that all the snakes and spiders could travel quickly to different parts of the island where needed. While most of them do that, i will have a couple Psionic Vipers and Spiders begin taking control of enemy monsters or begin causing them to attack their own, while the other spiders and Vipers assist the main force. There were around five hundred Jungle Spiders, one hundred guardian types, one hundred Psionic Spiders, three hundred Vine Vipers, seventy five Poisonous Vipers, and fifty Psionic Vipers.
From the report i had gotten from the Flaming Wing Clan members that i had sent out, the enemy had an estimated number of roughly thirty five hundred with from just those that can be seen, made up of Vipers, Jungle Wolves, and Bears. How their numbers are separated by types and variants, i do not know, which leaves me in the blind of how my strategy should work in case i face a certain number of a specific type of the monsters among them. I’m pretty confident that my plan to have an underground network of reinforcements and keeping a mental link with all those who are in command of my forces will help to prevent any major problems, but as long as nothing very major happens, i should be fine. Charge in, destroy everything that gets in our way, leave small groups of forces to hold down areas we have taken, continue charging without stopping so they don’t get a chance to regroup and quickly form a counter. Seems simple enough, just gotta hope nothing wrong happens, in which case with my luck, there's definitely something going to happen.
During all this, my stats had gone up due to taming so many monsters to my forces, both those in the fighting force, and those who are too young or old to fight in the coming battle.

I had leveled up a total of sixty one times, giving me three hundred and five points, and when i finished putting them where i wanted, boy did that level up have a kick. It had gone from feeling like a really good high to feeling every fiber of my body being torn apart and remade then torn apart again and rebuilt again. I could see ripples forming from every part of my body, as it had just gotten a huge improvement, greater than any it had gotten before. It was over in just a few seconds, no pain, no more ripples, just a sense of clarity. I could feel my entire body feel so much lighter than before. I could hear everything clearly to the point that my ears started hurting from the noise until i concentrated enough to be able to control how well i could hear. My muscles had become larger but just slightly, i could feel them becoming denser as they were growing, giving me more strength without the look of it, possibly making others think i was weaker than i was, which will be quite funny when it happens. I had also gained a few new traits and abilities, as well as upgrades to some pre-existing ones that should give me quite the advantage against anything i go up against. In just a few hours, the battle for this island is going to begin, and i'm going to make sure nothing gets in the way of me taking this island over for it is just the first step to ruling over this world.
On the night we were going to begin our attack, i had already ordered all the vipers and spiders that would be participating to begin traveling through the underground tunnel systems and wait till they were need. The leader of the Emerald Fang, a King Jungle Viper, was going to travel along with them. He had to have his own personal tunnel around the island due to him being twice as thick as the biggest snakes which were already as thick as my arms, and he was long enough to wrap himself around five Nox Kobolds with no trouble if he wanted to. The leader of the Shining Silk clan was a Queen Jungle Spider who would stay by the cliffs to command the Spiders from afar. The Alpha Wolf in charge of the Iron Fang clan would be charging in with the the Nox Kobolds, Direwolves and Armored Hoppers. The Leader of the Stone Fur clan would be in charge of placing small groups to reinforce and hold territories that are taken by us to make sure that no enemies appear from behind the front lines. I will observe from the sky with the new wing trait i had gained from the Flaming Wing clan, Wings of the Flame Winged Clan, alongside with the fighting force that come from their clan. My aerial units will provide support from above to areas that are going to charge into large groups of enemies so their fireballs can be more effective. Once everything was prepped, i stood above everyone with the respective leaders of each clan on the tops of the cliffs, looking over the entire fighting force.
“Today, you are all going to fight to remove the oppression of those who would dare say they are better than you, when it is in fact the other way. You are all far more superior than those imbeciles. With my help, you will take back that lands that were taken from you all, and gain even more. With my help, this whole island will belong to us, and with time, even more will be under our control. I will make you all stronger, faster, better than beyond anything others could ever hope to become. I will bring fear to those who oppose us, and to those who follow me, i will bring glory. Now then…..WHO IS READY TO KILL SOME FUCKERS!” I say while raising my Psionic Sword into the air.
All together, more than two thousand monsters howl, screech, and yell out their fighting roars, prepared to fight to the death against an enemy that had taken what was theirs and ready to do the same to them. I activated Armour of the Stone Plated Clan, Wings of the Flame Winged Clan, and Ruby Edged. Stone armor appeared around me, with the chest piece, shin guards, and bracers out of a sturdy stone that was as strong as the Mountain Bears, with Hardened leaves for shoulder guards, boots, helmet and gloves. The wings that appeared were similar to those of an eagle with the embers of a fire falling off from the tips of the feathers. With Ruby Edged, My ruby horn appeared, along with claws made from the same material. With these active, i looked like a fearsome beast that was prepared to bring death to all that appeared before me, causing all those who saw me to have a boost to their moral, knowing that their leader looked like such a beast and would be helping them in the coming battle. I took to the sky along with many Ember Falcons and Flaming eagles, and watched as the rest of my forces marched to their positions, ready for battle. The coming fight was going to be brutal for them, but if they can survive it, they would gain be able to show that they were ready to fight those who believed that monsters were simply stupid beast that were nothing but dangerous sacks of meat. For me, they were just another example of those oppressed by others due to power, which was not very rare back in the old world. I think i will take it upon myself to try and fix this in this world, should be a little fun endeavor.

8 163A cute duckling in an ugly world
A twist on an old story. A cute duckling in an ugly demon world. A cute demon that starts with nothing, fighting trough the world, the insults, laughter of others at her appearance and other demons making fun of her for being cute, for being different. But she doesn't grow into a monstrous swan. No, that's not how her story ends. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

When mage Magdala Gallus gets suspended from Magisterium for making explosives instead of focusing her rare alchemical skills on more productive pursuits, her mother ships her off to her uncle, the absent-minded but brilliant Lord Kalan, as punishment. Hard at work creating an instrument capable of converting magic, her uncle soon draws Magdala into his quest for a dragon scale—the only thing that can prove his theory that magic is the same for everyone. However, as Magdala, Lord Kalan, and Lord Kalan’s unusual apprentice, Dwayne, soon realize, it’s an impossible mission. With bandits populating the region where the dangerous creatures live and a pair of mercenaries who aren’t who they seem, it will take more than their magic to find and kill a dragon . . . and stay alive.

Sometimes my voice dies in my throat, buries itself beneath waves of crippling suffocation, burns itself out as cold hands tear at my laced skin. I have smiled while my eyes have cried and pleaded, my wrists numb, my lips wobbling and blue, and stars escaping this dark night that I'm trapped in. I long for a darkness that gives way to light. But I do feel the warmth of petals gathering and scattering in my cold bones, and imagine the touch and the sweetness of a kiss, and my heart rises to the surface of this sea and finds a sky painted by passing artists remaining far above our heads. I'm breathing out all the words I've kept locked under the pages of my breaking mind. And by doing so, I'm going to heal.TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, self harm, suicidal thoughts, OCD, panic attacks
