STREAK
OV
DING! I was rudely woken up by this annoying sound.
[As You have reached the required level you may evolve into one of the following]
[Ston-This is the evolution that comes after the baby ston, it has a larger body which is sleek,and can reach incredible speeds]
[Night ston-This variety of ston are very fast and sneak up on prey using the cover of darkness, almost as if they were assassins(Weaker in the day)]
[Day Ston-This Ston attacks head on using strength and speed to weaken their enemies while borrowing the power of the sun to regain lost health and stamina(Weaker in the night)]
[Giant Ston-This evolution has high potential for future evolution paths. The giant ston is a rare bird that has the powerful bloodline of the gargantuan Roc flowing through it's veins causing the bird to rapidly grow in size, speed and strength]
'There's not even any competition, Giant Ston. OBVIOUSLY! It sounds SO cool!'(Streak)
[You have chosen to evolve into the Giant Ston. You will evolve while you sleep]
After the notification went away I fell asleep on the spot. As I open my eyes I feel claustrophobic as I barely have any room to move in the cave, not being able to take it anymore I burst out of the cave breaking through the stone. DING!
[You have gained the skill 'Steel feathers']
[You have gained the skill 'Steel beak']
[You have gained the skill 'Steel Talons']

As I'm walking back to the cave I see a large, dark purple bird standing 3 feet taller than me with sharp black eyes and a silver beak. On it's feet are long and sharp talons that are piercing the ground.
"Wow, what a magnificent bird"(Jack)
'Thank you, you also look magnificent Master!'(Streak)
"Streak, is that you? So you also evolved huh."(Jack)
"The roc blood inside you is really showing"(Jack)
For a few hours Streak and I had our first real talk before deciding to head back to the cave I had enlargened using earth magic. I decide to make some new clothes as my old ones had gotten too small. Thanks to the 'craftsman' Skill I got I had finished my new clothes(still only trousers) by the time the sun peaked up over the trees. Deciding that today I would test out my new skills I jostle Streak awake and walk outside to start testing all of our new skills.

First was Streak, his new skills included steel feathers, steel beak and steel talons which basically makes those body parts stronger than Steel. He also gained wind magic which is basically the same as my fire magic, meaning that,it only helps the control over that element but you still have to learn spells to use them. Streak also learned ' Nose Dive', this skill basically includes flying up into the sky and diving back down at over 200 mph to rip a hole through the enemy. Eagle eyes improves vision drastically.
Now it was my turn. The skills Iron skin, steel claws and steel teeth are all upgrades in strength from their precedents Hard skin, iron claws and iron teeth. Earth magic is in the same boat as fire magic and wind magic. Dragon tail is a technique used by the tail that does massive damage if it is a direct hit, unfortunately it is not very fast. The skill 'berserk' uses the engravings running down the side of my body as they start glowing, this skill can only be used when you are at under 3 health and it doubles all stats(except health) for 20 minutes, afterwards leaving you as weak as a newborn baby. As I had used berserk while testing my skills we had to go back to the cave and rest for a few hours. As I was sleeping I heard the all too familiar screech of the Ancient bird right outside of my cave.
Hearing the anger in the screech I know that I won't be able to get out of this without a fight. So, with Streak who was also woken up by the screech I walk out of the cave to face our opponents.
Outside of the cave are 2 Ancient pterodactyls. One of them being the one we met on the mountain and the other appearing to be bigger and stronger than it.
'You get the smaller one and I get the bigger one.'(Jack)
'Okay, Master.'
Making the first move, the two Pterodactyls charge at us with their claws in front. I make a wall out of earth magic to block their charge and jump over the wall. landing behind my opponent I kick it and send it flying a few meters away and separating my fight from Streak's. Quickly getting up, the pterodactyl let's out an earsplitting screech which disorientates me long enough to scratch me on the chest leaving behind a large gash [-30 HEALTH. You have 35 health left] Spinning around, I smash my tail into the beast's head and jump back dodging it's own tail swing.Each realizing the others strength we have a quick standoff which I break by creating earth spikes from the ground and impaling it's left wing the beast then swings it's uninjured wing creating a blade of air that I quickly dodge and then throw my own magic attack in the form of an earth spear which the pterodactyl also dodges. Then, we both kick off the ground and begin clashing at incredible speeds. Neither of us gaining any ground I jump back as the earth crumbled below the pterodactyl, causing it to fall into a pit of spikes which I had secretly created while we had a stand off. Thinking that I had won the battle I turn around only to see Streak quickly losing ground in his battle. Panicking, I run over to takeover the fight while the injured Streak rests. As the pterodactyl and I are fighting I quickly realize that this pterodactyl is far stronger than the other one. Still, as Streak had recovered and joined the fray we were the ones pushing the beast back. I had kicked the pterodactyl in the chest knocking it onto the ground, when suddenly, a powerful attack hits me in my back this sends me flying into a nearby tree.

[-30 HEALTH. 5 health remaining] fighting to stay conscious I open my eyes and see the pterodactyl that I had presumed dead standing in the spot I used to be in, I am shocked when I see glowing engravings running down it's arms. 'It has 'berserk'! The 2 Pterodactyls quickly team up on Streak who is desperately fighting back using all of his trump cards yet still losing the fight. I'm trying to think of any way to help with my body not being able to move when I hear the noise of a treebranch breaking. Seconds later I feel the pain of wood hitting my head
[-3 HEALTH. You have 2 health left, would you like to use the skill 'berserk'?]
YES!
Feeling a rush of power I stand up and charge at the 2 Pterodactyls focused on their fight with the now bleeding Streak. Reaching the battle site I use my most powerful skill 'Depth of The Dragon's Maw' without hesitating. Raising my fist up I send a powerful punch at the 2 Pterodactyls, the punch quickly turns into the shape of a dragons head with it's mouth wide open the Dragon head snaps it's jaw shut over the Pterodactyls and instantly killing one of them(this time for sure) the other one is lying limp on the ground with blood flowing.out of it's wound. I suddenly feel a sense of danger in the air. Looking at the remaining pterodactyl, glowing engravings start popping up all over it's body. 'Oh SHIT!' I quickly try to finish beast off by stabbing it with my claws only to have them harmlessly bounce off of it's scales. As it finishes transforming into a new, incredibly powerful berserk mode an explosion of power knocks me backwards the beast then turns to Streak and waves it's 2 wings creating a powerful tornado which carries Streak into the air and then slamming him into the ground, only leaving destruction in it's wake.
[You have lost the familiar 'Streak']
"No. No NO NO NO NO NO NO!!" I scream at the top of my lungs and charge at the berserk pterodactyl, I jump into the air and use every skill that I have in an attempt to hurt it. Before I could even reach it, it starts to float in the air and make weird grumbling sounds. Out of nowhere a gargantuan 300 foot long semi-transparent pterodactyl swoops out of the sky and instantly pierces my body.
[You have died]
Opening my eyes I see two mighty beings that radiate power.
"...Mom...Dad?"

Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high.

Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.
