《Through Blood We Grow》Index of Things That Will Kill You: Wydrans
Advertisement
Wydrans Omnivore Solitary creature, known to be a nomadic creature to avoid predation. Varying sizes- largest recorded (107yds long, 105,300 pounds) Often times avoid conflict and only hunt creatures for food. Due to their size they mostly leave smaller creatures alone. While quite deadly, these creatures’ reproduction cycle makes sustaining the species difficult. They are known to live for hundreds of years but the young are very weak and require more attention and often times have to be left behind. While most commonly compared to the dragons of legend, due to their shape and size, these creatures are actually closer related to most species of dove. Though with their quadrupedal stature and separate wings many still believe them to be descendants of dragons. Their feathered bodies allow them to survive almost all climates and assist in extended flight. That and their mating rituals are nearly identical. These creatures are known to be highly intelligent, one of the few with enough mental capacity to be tamed with effort. Sharp talons, lungs capable of forcing massive gusts of wind out, and heavy body weight make these tough creatures to take down. That, their thick skin, and above average regeneration makes them neigh unkillable without proper planning. Consumption possible Drinking them is advised, they give incredibly powerful mutations. Though for veteran monster hunters, the possibility of a tamed Wydran far outclasses the mutations. Possible mutations Expanded lung capacity talons alteration of bones to a lighter, yet incredibly durable form. Formation of wings Sense of direction becomes unmatched Photographic memory Enhanced eyesight Minor regeneration Thickened skin, though rare, it makes most other defensive mutations obsolete due to unhindered flexibility and above average protection Side effects Heightened senses can often times disorient unprepared people Feathers on limbs Wings are rather difficult to learn to use

Furry Dragons. Best way to describe them. Though it isn't the best description, its the best I can manage. They're closer to doves yeah but you'd never know it from afar, or up close. Only way I figured it out was cutting one open, weird dynamics these things have. Still a shame I couldn't tame it. Fighting them is about as easy as pushing a boulder up a mountain, except the mountain can bite you and flies away anytime you're close to the top. Only way I've heard of them being killed is a weighted rope or somehow clipping one of its wings.
Honestly I'm not too sure on killing these things, they rarely if ever attack humans, they kill far more aggressive monsters, and they are really beautiful creatures. Just don't think killing them is a good idea, but the mutations are good and greed is a better motivator than most. Not my job to think about this stuff anyway.

Soul of the Warrior
In a world where Classes, Stats, and Levels are the everyday norm, Reivyn has a secret. He was unusually aware of his surroundings from an incredibly early age, and Skills and Stats were acquired easily. He was just the son of an ordinary village family, and nothing appeared out of the ordinary on the surface. But below the surface, dreams of another life help shape his mentality and growth. Why does he have some remembrance of a past life, and what is his purpose in this new one? "Soul of the Warrior" is what I call a Semi-Isekai LitRPG. I say "semi," because Reivyn's past life is remembered like a dream, and very incomplete. It is still Isekai, though, as he remembers enough that it directly shapes his personality and his sense of self. The System that governs the world of "Soul of the Warrior" is a combination of modified versions from Selkie's "Beneath the Dragoneye Moons" and Kosnik4's "Magic Smithing." I have changed enough of these Systems and combined them in a way that is unique that I'm mostly sure it's fine, but I still have requested permission to use these ideas. They have both graciously granted me permission. Winner of the April Writathon Challenge. Release Schedule is Mon, Wed, Fri on Royal Road.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
