《How Does One Become Strong?》Chapter 2- The Caves
Advertisement
Once I had gotten used to my new abilities I figured I would leave the cave I'm in and explore the cave system as I couldn't last without food forever. I finally started walking out of my cave. As I walked out of the cave I saw a beautiful forested cave unlike any other I've ever seen. Walking forward I was surprised by a small wingless dragon that had apparently been waiting for me, the beast charged at me, I panicked a little bit and threw a simple fireball at it using fire magic which does little to no damage as it continues to charge at me, I jump up into the air letting it pass harmlessly under me.
Unable to stop, the beast crashes into a tree before turning around. We have a stand off with neither of us moving, I suddenly charge catching it off guard with my superior speed and create a slash across the side of its body with my sharp nails. The beast rages at me and swings its tail smashing me in the chest, I'm sent flying into a tree. [-10 HEALTH]
Giving me no time to recover it charges at me. I quickly kick off the tree and fly at the beast, doing somersaults in the air I give the beast a good slash across it's right eye. It goes and crashes into a tree again. When it turns around it doesn't see anything. I sneak up on it from the blind spot I made by blinding it's right eye. I stick my hands through the gash I had already made in its side and crush it's heart. *You have killed a lesser wyvern that was 2 times your level, you have gained 10 levels* *Due to the constant use of your claws, you have been granted the skill Iron Claws* As I look at the fresh blood dripping off of my hands from the dead wyvern I feel ecstatic and feel something animalistic awaken inside of me. Ding! [You have gained the skill beastly instincts which turns your instincts into a beasts]
Already being at my camp I skin The Wyvern before cooking and eating it's leg *You have gained the skill Skinning* Thinking about what to do with the skin of the animal I finally realize that I don't have any clothes on.
I spent the rest of the night and all throughout the next day experimenting with the skin trying to make clothes, by the time I would usually wake up I had made clothes that I was completely satisfied with. I had made trousers sewed together with a strong type of vine I found with the inside being the soft fur of a deerlike creature I had found and the outer part being the tough skin of the Wyvern. I found no need for a shirt as there was nothing that could irritate my Hard Skin. Ding! *You have gained the skill Craftsman*. Feeling drowsy after staying up so long I quickly fall asleep.

Waking up in my new clothes, I decided to finally escape the caves today. I got up and started looking for a way out of the forest. I didn't meet any animals along the way as I had beaten the wyvern which was most likely the king of this cave. As I continued walking I finally saw the tunnel leading out of the cave. Inside of the tunnel was dark, but it's not any thing my night vision can't handle, and I finally saw the next cave.
As I entered the next cave there was nothing, there was no greenery, no stream running through it. I don't think I would have noticed it with my human ears but there was a tiny chirping sound coming from the corner of the cave. Once I got closer I saw what would seem to be a little sparrow except for the fact that it was all black, except for the white streaks in its feathers. As I got even closer to it , I realized that it was injured. It's little right wing was broken, this left the bird basically handicapped. As I bandaged the little birds wing since I just couldn't bear to leave it there I heard that familiar, Ding!
[Due to overwhelming affection towards you, you have been given the chance to tame the unique baby Ston Y/N]
"Well, that's surprising" I say looking at the little guy staring up affectionately at it's saviour. Seeing nothing wrong with it I chose yes.
[CONGRATULATIONS-You have gained a baby ston as a familiar]
'Hello master'
I jump, looking around for who it was that said that
[You have gained the skill telepathic communication(limited) Allows you to communicate with one of your familiars telepathically]
'What's wrong master' says the little ston telepathically.
'Ahhh, nothing nothing, anyways you need a name don't you. I can't keep calling you baby ston forever. How about John"?

The ston shook it's head
'Star'
The ston looked at Jack like he was a complete idiot
'how about... Streak!'
The ston jumped up and down in delight
'Well then let's go shall we'? Said Jack picking up Streak and setting him on his shoulder. 'By the way, do you know how to get out of here? Streak nodded his head. A few hours passed as Jack followed where Streak pointed at with his beak. A few more uneventful hours passed before Jack finally spotted light coming from a small hole just big enough for him to pass through. Jack sprinted as fast as he could and dove out of the hole. After living in the darkness of the cave Kirito had finally learned to appreciate the light.
STREAK
OV
I have always been all alone in the darkness of this cave, I learned to forage for food and detect when a predator was coming. I was doing fine until the king of this cave, the wyvern came along. He took up half of the forest not letting anyone else in this made the large population of creatures in this forest migrate to just one side of the forest. This immediately made food scarce.
It was like hell everyday, every creature fighting over the tiniest bit of food. Sadly, I was one of the weakest creatures. Every night I would go to sleep hungry on the top of the tallest tree I could find to avoid being eaten while I slept. I finally decided that if I this did not change I would very quickly die. I hardened my will and traveled to the wyvern's side of the forest hoping that he could not know everything that was happening in his forest. I was right as I lived in there quietly for around a week.
My luck had finally ran out as I stumbled across the wyvern walking around. The wyvern turned it's head to look at me with a dangerous glint in his eyes. Before I could fly off he quickly grabbed me and hauled me off to his lair. When we arrived I was stunned at the sight of 100s of animal skeletons lying on the ground. It finally made sense why around 3 animals disappeared every night. Looking to my left there was a mouse scurrying in the bushes suddenly, I'm dropped by the wyvern as he pounces on the little mouse quickly crushing it with his weight.
Seeing this as my only chance to survive I quickly attempt to fly off, seeing this the wyvern quickly tries to breathe fire on me, luckily he is barely counted as part of the Dragon family so it's only a plume of smoke. Unluckily, this blinds me and I am sent crashing into a tree breaking my right wing. Ignoring the pain I quickly run off in the cover of the smoke. I had escaped that godforsaken place was what I thought as I reached the tunnel leading to the next cave.
I hobbled through the tunnel and reached the next cave only to collapse into the corner, fainting. 2 days later I wake up to the sounds of footsteps walking through the tunnel, I open my eyes to see an intimidating beast with long purple hair and eyes like a dragon. I can't help but chirp fright. It was a very quite sound but I saw the beasts ears move and then it starts walking towards me. I thought I was going to die right there after working so hard to get out of that forest of nightmares. As it is right in front of me I close my eyes awaiting my death, but it doesn't come, instead comes warm hands wrapping a soft fur around my broken wing and offering me some of the meat of the bastard wyverns meat. Being taken from the depths of despair and discomfort and being put into the warm embrace of comfort I'm overcome with affection for this creature. Ding! [Would you like to become the familiar of Jack the Scaled Imp? Y/N] Yes!
As started my life with Jack!

Fortuna Verto
A girl’s luck changes when her world changes upon itself, sending her back and forth between a world she knows and another that shouldn’t even exist. Working with her parallel self from that other world, the two must adjust to their alternate form when visiting the other’s world, as they search for a way to escape the chains of misfortune they are bound to. While this story is the conclusion of the trilogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, as the world of Celese itself is no longer a place the characters will be journeying through. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for all previous books, in case that matters to anyone. This book has an additional chapter after the final chapter that represents the trilogy conclusion, and should not be read until all three books are read first. Fortuna Verto continues the events of Essentia Animus to advance society into a sci-fi interpretation of Celese, bringing events to a distant world of another star. At the same time, events interpret a real-world advancement into a similar sci-fi age of another planet that shares Earth’s galaxy, a planet that has also been linked by the Celesi Veil. English remains predominant in both worlds of the story, but the presence of both sides makes certain Aethyx terms stand out, while Earth-styled scientific terms will also stand in a powerful contrast. Instrumentation remains an important aspect of the Elemental Era, but the influence of the gift has grown distant after discovering the superiority of the elements. Harnessing the elements had eliminated some of the original limitations of instrumentation, allowing for a self-sustaining focal source that provides solutions to problems such as automation. This turns the development available from the previous modern-day sense of a fantasy to one that is deep-future. Finally, opening access to the passage across the veil will open this progress in comparison to a very similar deep-future parallel world without such fantasy elements, contrasting the laws of physics with the laws of elements in a convergence of time and space.
