《Founding of Humanity - Animalist》Side Story - Majsassin

This story is a natural byproduct of thinking up the fusion skill revealed in here.

The room is a large hall, with fireplaces burning at both ends to keep it warmed. The wealthy merchant baron is at a small table at the other end of the room, counting his mound of coins. Six men stand between the door and the merchant, thugs hired as body guards.
"Merchant Jibble. Your competitors think it is time you retire. I am here to convince you of the wisdom in that choice. The shadows lengthen and the shadows grasp." Shadow Grapple. Majsassin's shadow elongated, and then shot across the floor and under the table where it wrapped around Jibble's ankle. Then it started retracting. The flailing merchant upset the chair and table, scattering coins everywhere while he screamed "Help me! Stop him! Somebody kill him!"
The thugs were quicker than they appeared. Two jumped on the merchant and stopped the shadow from dragging him all the way to the door. The other four drew their assorted weapons, which were of nice quality. "Oh Jibble, it looks like you spent a fair amount on your guards here. It is a shame that wont help. Now I have to do this the messy way." Majsassin was interrupted when one of the thugs put a throwing knife into his shoulder.
50 damage received
The thug was bringing his arm back for another throw, but wouldn't get to finish. "From the shadows they come. Where there is one there are many." Shadow Perferation. The shadow that was stretched down the center of the room sprouted a branch which leapt off the ground and divided into 10 points that plunged into the man.

That one must have been around level 13 or so. The two closest men had longswords and were charging, but this battle was already decided. "The light fades and all is darkness, and in this shadow I find my home." Shadow Domain. All the shadows in the room cast by the two fireplaces grew instantly, joining together and plunging the room into darkness. The fireplaces could not illuminate it. Majsassin took several quick and silent steps to the side, so the swordsmen could not guess where he was. This skill granted him the simultaneous benefits of the ones that come before it, letting him hide in these all encompassing shadows and move through them silently. Passing around the two swordsmen, Majsassin approached another likely ranged attacker who had stayed back when the encounter turned hostile.
"Quench my thirst." Soul Siphon. "I hunger." Leech. Majsassin grabbed his targets wrists, one hand draining mana and the other draining health. The man screamed in fear as he felt his essentials being drained, but still couldn't see anything. He trashed and tried to free his hands, but even if he could it would have done nothing for him.
New Skill Learned!
Reaper's Domain
"Death comes, silent, surrounding. He persists as you wither in his presence."
Fill the room with shadows for 30 seconds, hiding your presence. At the same time, the shadows siphon from all the targets in the room.
2000 mana
Hidden fusion skill using Shadow and Soul
This skill is gained by performing the separate skills in combination.
"How nice, I should try it." Majsassin let go of the thrashing man and moved through the shadows to the center of the room. "Death comes, silent, surrounding. He persists as you wither in his presence." Reaper's Domain. The shadows filling the room stirred, and then started rippling slightly with ghastly greys. The mana and health from the six surviving enemies in the room came pouring into Majsassin, and he could not hold back a laugh as their pain filled cries came from all around.

None of them were mages, so each victim only had around 250 mana to begin with. It wasnt enough to refill him, but his mana regeneration recovered more than the spell cost in the 30 seconds it lasted. There was enough mana to finish the fight with multiple Shadow Spikes as the skill ended and the room was revealed again.

Majsassin then cleared the room of evidence with Soul Harvest, converting each corpse into mana, and walked over to the overturned money table. There were a dozen gold coins and even a pair of gold marks on the floor, the silver and copper being too insignificant to bother with. Then he walked out the way he had come, back to his alley behind his favorite pub to collect his fee for a job complete.

Fleabag
In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine seemingly like any other woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box.With knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine with every labored breath, it simply wished to live another day. Yet, in the bowels of a city built on metal corpses, nothing was ever simple. Of course, nobody said change would be simple, nor bloodless.And in the dark corners no one sees, in the shifting clouds of smog that none dare venture through, in the deepest reaches of the Dungeon that none but the mentally deranged dare challenge, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky. Are you tired of fun monster evolution stories where the monster becomes increasingly less monstrous, and eventually they're just a more spicy version of a human and it stops being a monster evolution story?Well, i am.So- insert thanos meme where he says "fine, i'll do it myself"[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.](The art in the book cover was made by an extremely talented artist named Chloe Bt, and she allowed me permission to use one of her renders as the main ingredient to my book cover, because she's fucking awesome.)

New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

8 190Legend of the wasteland
Adam was someone quite down on his luck but thanks to some circumstances which even he himself isn't sure if they are lucky or unlucky circumstances Adam comes into the world of Fallout a little before the beginning of Fallout 3, one of the best games he has ever played. With him comes one of his wishes, a system styled around all of the fallout systems, but it has restrictions. So how will Adam survive in the post-apocalyptic world of fallout all alone? How will his actions influence the wasteland and mold him into a living legend or to some people a fleeting myth?

You've tried to write a story yes? So have I, Many times. I get a good vibe going, type a few pages worth of content then reach the point it gets the tiniest bit hard. Thing is, some of those stories are good, the kind of good that gets people excited and then disapointed when they cut off abruptly and without warning before fifteen chapters. So content Warning, none of theese little stories come to any kind of conclusion. A couple are just different attempts at the same idea (some with the same characters no less)They are also raw and uneddited, and no i wont be fixing them.I don't think any of them deserve any additional content warnings, as I'm not interested in writting those sorts of stories, but please read with caution.
