' I have had a very productive week. Not only have I gained stat points in intelligence but I have even gained Skill Mastery in DNA Memories as well as Barrier Magic. I can casually pull up a tower shield inlayed with an entire forest. Master said it would be fine for me to start on dual element Barrier Magic but I decided to stick with the basics and only practice dual elements Barrier Magic 5 hours per day. If I use all of my mana I can make a 70' tall 6' around tree complete with leaves, bark, and roots. Apparently the fact that I can even make the shape of a tree is very impressive, and according to my DNA Memories the most impressive person from either of my parents clans could only do this after getting to 20 years old. Even though that isnt very old, one should consider that Ancient Dragons and God Monkies are two of the most talented in the multi-verse ( multilple universes ). Master said that my talent for Barrier Magic is the highest he has ever seen in all of his life.'
" Soollloooo time to go out. "
' Oops I almost forgot about my and Lorettas monthly hunting trip. '
The hunting trip Solomon almost forgot is basically a date, but geared more towards Legendary Beasts. Though Solomon wouldnt be doing any hunting, he mainly just get carried around by Loretta and talk with her. Maybe point certain things out that she might miss.

" Im coming Im coming give me a bit to get ready. So where are we going to hunt today. "
" I figured we would go to unclaimed territory today, sound good? "
" Yeah but are you sure we will be safe there are alot more dangerous beasts than in clan territory. "
" We will be fine Master will make sure we are protected. "
" Alright then lets go babe. "
" I said dont call me babe. "
" Alright Hot-Stuff. "
" One more time and I wont cook you dinner ever again. "
" Alright alright, no need to go so far. Lets go before you do something that I will regret. "
After that Solomon mounted on top of Lorettas horse body and they left the cave. They then started the three hour trip into unclaimed territory.
" Alright finally we are here. Your back is surprisingly uncomfortable. "
" Shh you can never be to careful in these sorts of areas. From here on out you need to be quite and keep peak awareness. "
" Yes Master. "
" Stop joking around you idiot. "
" Ouch that hurts Loretta. "
" Sshhh. "
After only 10 minutes of walking in unclaimed territory they meet their first monster. The monster appears to be some type of constrictor, Solomon aprraises it to find out.
" Appraise. "
Name: XXX
Species: Tree Constrictor
Age: 348
Lvl: 21
Solomon gets kind of nervous upon seeing the high level and asks Loretta if she can handle it for re-assureance.
" Loretta, can you handle it? "
" Yeah easy. Such a weak species is nothing unless it was 20 levels more than me or has a super powerful skill or magic. "
" Phew thats good, I was kind of worried. "
Loretta didnt offer a response and instead attacked the massive snake. Solomon found the entire situation rather surreal, after all it isnt everyday that you get to watch a 15' undead centauride cut up a 37' snake. He also found the situation a tiny bit sexy, in a wild and primal sort of way. Such a reaction kind of freaked him out since he knew that something had to be messing with his head for him to find sucha asituation even the least bit sexy. But he ignored it and put it at the back of his mind, since he was stable enough to deal with such a situation.

" Anything worth collecting on it or should we just bury it. "
" Naw it is basically useless, we could probably sell the scales in a human country or something. "
" Alright I will go ahead and start digging you just protect me. "
" You got it. "
" Hey Loretta I have to ask but how is it that you didnt level up even though you killed something so levels higher than you? "
" A few reasons. First thing is that level 9 takes more experience than all the previous levels combined and then multiplied. The reason is because level 10 gives you your class. It also takes even more than average because we are Legendary Beasts.The amount of experience I need is about as much as 3 Ancient Dragons or 12 Average humans. Of course in return I will be even more powerful than the dragons or humans combined. Another thing is that the amount of experience changes from different situatons including titles skills etc.. "
" Damn thats wild. "
" It is what it is nothing we can do about it. Plus I much prefer strength over weakness. "
" Well of course. Anyway ready to get back to hunting. "
" Yep lets go. "
Six hours of hunting later and Loretta feeling tired asked Solomon if he was ready to head back.
" Welp you ready to head back Solo? "
" Sure we have gotten a pretty good haul today Master will be very happy. "
" Yep....... "
" Well if it isnt Miss Loretta Uxorem. If I knew you were hunting here today I definetley would have come by earlier. "
" ' Sigh ' What do you want Uranus? "
" Well I was just thinking maybe we could hunt together. Just you and me. "
" Bet you would like that would like that wouldnt you buddy. "
" Who are you? "
" Im her fiancee. Maybe you should ask around before hitting on someone elses girl, eh. "
" I knew Loretta was betrothed to someone I just didnt think they would be some Lvl 1 monkey. "
" I guess she prefers someone like me than some asshole. Well what do you expect from someone called Anus. "
" How dare you defile the name of a God. "
" Whats Anus talking about Loretta? "
" Uranus was one of the most powerful gods at one point. "
" Oh yeah my DNA Memories mentions him, says he got castrated. Oh poor Anus you have such a poor existence. "
" Loretta you better reign in your pet or I will for you. "
" Id like to see you try Anus. Although be careful I have got alot of experience pounding assholes just ask your mom she loves it in her back door. "
" Im going to kill you. "
" Back off Uranus or Ill kick your ass. "
" This isnt over Loretta. Ill make sure to kill that little monkey right in front of you hehehe. "
" So who was that douche. "
" That was the son of the current Matriarch of the God Fighters. Make sure you be careful I heard he is just as talented as Dragons or even better. "
" Eh whatever Ill deall with him if he tries anything. Although I gotta say Im surprised you didnt talk much during the confrontation. "
" I was to busy laughing that was genuinely hilarious Master, our parents, and Deam will love this. Anyway lets get back to the cave. "
" Sure. "

The Invisible String
(On Hiatus While I Practice Writing With A New Story) This is a story of connections. A story of a Writer and his pen and paper. Follow the writer as he creates Syndesi, the personification of The Invisible String. See how they change the world around them through the relationships they make. And in doing so, change themselves. PS. it's fantasy but there are no elves, no magic, no superpower. just realistic people living their normal lives, facing struggles like every human being but that alone doesn't sound interesting, does it? How about a special dimension that connects the lead characters? (check out Chapter 2 - The White Horizon) Art Cover Credit: Asviloka Post Timings: (unsure for now as I am rewriting the chapters to make it polished. Hopefully once per week on Fridays) This would allow me to post something you can read every week without abandoning the story. It's a journey, I know. But I'm ready to continue without stopping. Are you ready? If you are, then let's start reading!
8 157The Human Conduit
On a mission to try and uncover clues about the mysterious fire on a space frigate, Milo Greene will discover his connection to one of the universe's deepest secrets and find himself caught in a tug-of-war that goes beyond nation versus nation or solar system versus solar system. Science fiction with some fictional science. No Lit-RPG elements. Some war, politics, sexuality, unapologetic supernatural elements, mystery, adventure, and weirdness.
8 72Every Hateful Instrument
Hail-and-Farewell Vinright is a pirate, ferrying drugs and weapons across the galaxy. When he discovers that the headaches he's been plagued with are not a sign that he has a brain tumor, and are instead the rare God-given gift of the power, one in a million psychic abilities, Hail sees the opportunity to help his family profit. Only people with the power can build the stardrives at the core of every ship, and the market for them is controlled by the Imperial government. Pirates would pay huge sums for one, so Hail's family enters the market. Aymon Sandreas is the least likely candidate to take the Imperial throne upon the retirement of his master, First Herrault. When Aymon steps too far out of line, his master sends him away to find the pirates who are flooding the galaxy with stardrives, destabilizing the Imperial government and the spacefaring Guild. Expecting an easy but boring task, Aymon's interest is piqued when the mysterious stardrive maker proves a clever and capable adversary. When Hail and Aymon finally come face to face, Aymon offers Hail an opportunity: work for me, in exchange for your life. But Hail wants nothing more than revenge, and he's willing to play the long game to get it...
8 145Gaming on a MUD is difficult.
This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years. Dozens of people play a text based command line game at the same time. I figured I'd try to turn in into a story to see if anyone found it interesting. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. This is my first time so not very experienced. It is a story about how going into a multi player game expecting a typical RPG experience turns into something else because other players are involved.
8 176Loot Sisters
Loot Sisters is a light-hearted flash fiction serial of 100-word episodes inspired by RPGs and hunting for quests. I don't have a set plan for where the story goes, as each week, I write my story around three random words posted weekly on The Prediction (an online flash fiction challenge group). I hope you enjoy the story! :) My characters include Maya (the narrator and a bit of a rogue-like character), Vera (our healer/mage), Felicia (resident navigator and lover of gadgets), and Rach (a fighter/brawler). Cover illustration is of Maya by Luminita Pham.
8 89Wherever the Wind Takes Us
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Abraham Penrose and Escyra Stärenholm threw away everything to be together. Their careers, money, and even their families were cast aside so they could live a life on the road. Both were proficient mages and felt they could take on anything as long as they had each other. They were even able to afford a small sail boat after months of saving up. Escyra wanted to see the northern lights, and Abraham was set to propose. That is, until a hurricane destroyed their boat and flung the lovebirds to different corners of the fantastical world of Zaltier. Follow both protagonists in their struggle to reunite as they discover the world, themselves, and most importantly: Love. *** Updates...as I write them. Will have a proper one post-write-a-thon! (The Gore tag is there due to action scenes. I don't plan on being overly verbose about anything, it's there so everyone feels safe!)
