《No Longer Human》Chapter 2: Reborn
Advertisement
Warm…. and wet. That was my first feeling when I woke up. It was dark but I could see traces of red around me. I was surrounded by a mysterious thick liquid that felt strangely warm. Despite being submerged in the liquid, I could breathe perfectly fine. I felt my body, relieved that I could still feel all four of my limbs. I could also feel an appendage sticking out of my butt.
Where am I? What is this place?
Suddenly, a wave of drowsiness washed over me, making me sleepy.
I fought the drowsiness but it was too much even for me. It didn’t take long for me to fall into slumber.
----------
I woke up, feeling much better. I felt more ‘complete’ than before. My stomach growled, signaling to me that I was hungry. My instincts kicked in. I pushed the walls surrounding me with my body and was surprised at how soft the wall was. Suddenly, I heard a ripping sound. The liquid surrounding me started to drain away.
“Argghh!”
A coarse scream was heard. However, the scream sounded more like a howl. The walls around me started to contract and tighten. I could feel myself being pushed out. Every time the walls contracted, a scream could be heard and I would be pushed out even further. Seriously where the hell am I? First I was swimming in some sort of weird liquid and next I was being pushed out. All this comes down to one explanation – I was in somebody’s womb and I am in the process of being born.
Can’t Mithra have reincarnated me as an adult so that I won’t have to experience the process of being shot out of a woman’s ass?
I wriggled and squirmed, struggling to get out. The more I struggled, the louder the screams got. It wasn’t long before I could see a bright light.

“Freedom!” I shouted in my mind.
I squirmed even more, making my way to towards the light as fast as I could. I was excited to get out of my mother’s stuffy womb.
Suddenly, the walls stopped contracting and relaxed. White light blinded my sensitive eyes and a howl of relief could be heard by my mother. I was finally born.
------------
When my eyes adjusted, I looked around my surroundings. I was in a damp cave. The cave walls were embedded with crystals that gave of a pale light, illuminating the place. There were about 5 wolf pups milling around me, some of them observed me with curious eyes while others sucked the teats of a large wolf next to us. The wolf was about 10 times our size. It had sliver fur that was tinged red at the ends. It was barely conscious and was breathing heavily. Strangely, I could feel a sense of attachment to it. 3 of the pups had sliver fur while 2 of them had grey fur. Their fur was stained with dried blood, signaling that they have been born not long ago. Wait, why am I surrounded by wolves?
Don’t tell me that…
I looked down at my body. Instead of pale peach colored skin, I had snow white fur that was tinged golden at the ends. Bloodstains could be seen on my fur. I looked down at my hands. Instead of seeing normal human hands, I saw paws instead. I turned around and saw that there was a tail sticking out of my butt. It must have been the appendage I felt before. My head felt heavy and I noticed I had a snout. Situated above my head were dog-like ears that twitched now and then.
…I was reborn as a wolf.
I remembered that Mithra said that which species I would be born as would all depend on my luck. I didn’t know whether I was lucky or not to be reborn as a wolf. Well better than being reborn as a goblin I guess.

My stomach growled again, urging me to eat in order to satiate my hunger. I rushed towards my mother’s teat, sucking the milk out of it. The milk was warm and creamy and easily slid down my throat. I sucked her teat for about a few minutes and stopped when my hunger was satiated. Satisfied, I let out a small burp.
Suddenly a screen flashed before my eyes.

You have received a message
Hello, Mithra here. Congratulations on being reborn! How does it feel like being reborn with your memories eh? Pretty disgusting right? I know that you want me to reincarnate you as adult. However, all creatures start out as a baby, no matter beast or human, so please understand. Please take note that the world you are currently residing in possesses mana, so superhuman feats (not that you are a human now) are possible. To check your status, please think of the word ‘Status’ in your mind. A panel should appear in front of you, showing your current status. It is invisible to others except you. Unless someone has an appraisal skill or you allow it, others cannot look at your status. To close it just think ‘Close status’ and the panel will disappear. This will be the only message I send to you. The rest is for you to figure out on you own.
Overcome your obstacles and become someone truly special.
Good luck!
Mithra
-This message is written by Mithra, the Divinity of Covenant, Contract and Oath as well as the god reincarnation and the sun–
Think of the word ‘Status’ huh. I followed Mithra’s instructions. I didn’t know that Mithra was also a sun god. No wonder he was so flashy. To my surprise, another panel appeared before me.

I looked through my stats, feeling pleased about what I saw. My stats were similar to my siblings’ except for my unnaturally high intellect and wisdom. I also possessed way more skills than them. I guess this is due to Mithra’s blessing. A few of my skills were straightforward and need no explanation but I don’t get what the others do. I was also curious as to why I can’t I see my bloodline. I could see my new mother’s and siblings’ bloodline just fine but why can’t I see mine? Just when I was about to use [Appraisal] on the skills which uses I don’t know, I felt someone’s gaze on my back.
I turned around to see who was staring at me. I was greeted with my mother looking at me. Although her face was haggard from exhaustion, her eyes were wide in disbelief and her face was full of shock.
“Child,” she muttered.
‘What are you?”
PS: I dont know how to do the blue stat sceen thing. Can someone help me?

The Life of the Phoenix Titan
Summary A new baby is born into a fantasy world, and that baby is named Lakshman Chand, whose nickname is Lucky. The story follows as the boy encounters many different things along his growth and embarks on a journey to uncover the mysteries of his past and discover his destiny. Note from Author Hello, readers. This is a rewrite of the original Phoenix Rising that I had started way back in 2014 and am still going with over 500 chapters. I am rewriting from scratch on this one because, when I looked back at the earlier chapters, I found out that I had made a lot of mistakes, plot holes that went unexplained, and links missing between events. That's why, I've decided to write from the beginning with a new vision of improving the story, bridging the missing links, and change our certain events happened to make a much better story than the original. So, I thank each and every one of you for giving this story a chance, and I hope that you will come to like it. Please do leave comments down in each chapter to give me possible feedback or any suggestions for me to improve my story on. I gladly accept all advices from my readers and promise I will adapt to the best I possible could with the vision I have for this story. Phoenix Rising: Wikia

Journey of Infinite Steps
Science Fiction/ Low fantasy Iliad. Oliver just wanted a job that could keep his family fed, and himself sane. Was that so much to ask for? Apparently. As he instead ends up facing monsters and dodging his way to another world instead. Competent as he views himself figuring out how to reopen a portal back home by himself is defiantly above his knowledge base. Of coarse it would be vastly simpler if he could keep 'getting back home' as his primary goal. 'Staying alive' is unfortunately a far more immediate and relevant goal. I will post any content warnings on a Per Chapter basis. Divisive content will be as skip-able as I can reasonably manage Discord Link will be available for those interested in assisting editing/ coauthoring. Especially character writers/those willing to work out the math/ economies and world building even if only as a wall to bounce ideas off of.-----Full Synapsis contains serious spoilers----- Looking to take care of his family, Oliver finds himself flung into a faraway place. Try as he might, his Iliad will not be simple or peaceful as he'd like. Alas the slow and unending war of Chaos and Order has long memories and longer reach. If Oliver is to make his way back home it looks like He'll have to solve the universe one fight and mystery at a time. Especially as the Laws of Physics shift, often on a per world basis. Hopefully there is still a home to come back to.

Yin-Yang
Mages in North America seem to have it all – typically from well-off families, and able to manipulate their environment in ways most of the world would never believe. They don’t even have to bother with the mundane details of life like housework, thanks to their sensitives, who also make a useful source for extra magical energy. After all, sensitives have no use for it themselves, and if mages weren’t meant to make use of it, then the sensitives would obviously have some way to prevent that. That a mage can transform a sensitive physically, with no restrictions beyond overall mass and basic biological viability, whereas magic tends not to work directly on any other living thing, is only further proof. And look at the way they live on their own, barely a step above animals. It’s better for them to belong to a mage. Sensitives in North America live on the edge of society and survival – typically so paranoid they avoid hospitals and anything else that could lead to being tracked, many of them with little or no education and no legal identity or existence. Mages exist, and mages want sensitives for some reason, but no one ever comes back to explain what that reason is. Waiting every day for the hunters to notice them doesn’t lead to much motivation or hope for the future. And once they’re captured, they’re the property of someone with a terrifying amount of power over them. Anything is better than capture. Mages are born to be the masters, and sensitives are born victims. Or are they? Jax’s life is turned upside-down when he’s caught by the hunters and sold to a mage. Andreas is still mourning for his previous sensitive, though, unconsciously creating a difficult standard for Jax to live up to, all the more so while still struggling to come to terms with this new reality as Andreas’ sensitive. A runaway sensitive isn’t what Van expects at the mental health centre. Is this a hunter trap, set for him and the rest of the Donovan family by the hunters? The hunters would, after all, love to see them cross the line openly and finally do something they can be charged with. Either way, Miranda’s genuinely in trouble, and he can’t just abandon her to it. Snatching a sensitive out from under the hunters and hiding her is odd behaviour for a mage – but then, Catherine is an odd mage, living in disgrace in the old servants’ quarters of her grandmother’s house, responsible for cooking and housework. Lila owes Catherine her freedom; is there a way to help Catherine achieve her own, and at what price? Tension is building between traditionally-minded mages and those advocating change, and something has to break. *** Yin-Yang includes a small amount of profanity and no graphic sex or on-screen physical violence. However, sex and gender roles and relationships within the mage/sensitive subculture are non-traditional in mainstream North American terms. The key criterion in a primary relationship is not relative sex or gender, but the pairing of mage and sensitive; given the transformation of sensitives by their mages, physical sex is non-absolute for a sensitive, and gender identity can vary as in anyone else. *** *** The way mages treat sensitives is extremely varied and, in some cases is outright abusive. The struggle against that is pretty much the point of the book. It is NOT grimdark or misery-porn! However, if you will be triggered by this, please, don't read Yin-Yang! *** Complete stand-alone novel, 153K words! Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.

Unfortunately, they pulled a Demon Lord through, who promptly took Giselle, leaving Gild alone and blaming himself. Now, he is doing everything in his power to bring her back, even if it means travelling to the Other Realm itself, home to the demons. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
