《Through Blood We Grow》Index of Things That Will Kill You: Regals
Advertisement
Regals Solitary Usually size of larger feline creatures- largest recorded (3.5yds long, 600 pounds) Fauna Animalistic Carnivore Older specimen's fur is capable of rudimentary camouflage These creatures make extensive use of the high trees and dense flora in their natural habitat Fighting these creatures in open areas is preferable Similar to panthers Incredibly territorial and will die protecting it’s claimed territory Consumption possible Drinking these creatures is recommended for those wishing to enhance rogue or ranger roles Possible mutations Additional appendages Padded palms Night vision accompanied by changing of appearance in the eyes, resembling the regal’s eyes Enhanced sense of smell Fur/hair growth Thickened skin Inability to be poisoned Nigh immunity to disease Adrenaline changes (Increased potency and production) Side effects Reproductive cycle (Only in rare cases) Strange Attraction to fish Territorial temperament Increased bloodthirst
These things are rather vicious if you stumble on them. I mean, there I am making a fire and boom! I've got a claw mark the size of my forearm in my chestplate. I was caught with my pants so far down I just ran, thing didn't even try to chase me. Territorial doesn't begin to describe just how much these things care about their living area. They barely ever leave it. Shame they're so rare, they are rather beautiful after all. I've never seen a panther in person but anyone who has will tell you a regal looks like its bigger, scarier, more agressive, purple eyed cousin. I mean they are practically identical on the outside, aside from some the older ones being able to change the color of their fur. Warning to you if you aren't capable of fighting these things, just leave the area and you'll be fine. If you can't do that then I hope you went fishing earlier, these things will go after anything aquatic. Only reason I managed to get my stuff back was because I had a few salmon in my bag, it was too busy looking for that to pay attention to me. If you do have to kill it though, make it fast. These things don't have great defense but they won't stop fighting till steam is literally coming from their ears...crazy creatures these are.

Marrow
Marrow was old... older than me or you. Older than the nation he lived in. And older than anyone he knew. Which is not surprising, because he did not know anyone else. He had been sitting, or perhaps leaning is the more apt expression, in a closet for many, many years, and had done nothing but stare. But eating, or rather chewing, a spider opened up another world to him. A world with a voice that was talking to him - to HIM! Marrow did not get what the voice was saying, but that was secondary at this point. And Marrow started to feel restless. Nuff said. If you like a sometimes quirky skeleton as the main character and want to ride along for its coming of age, or perhaps rather coming of sapience story... give it a shot. It is a litrpg context with skills, levels, heroes and monsters... and a skeleton. Not sure yet how fast the skeleton will level... we'll have to wait and see. As a disclaimer... this is my secondary novel... my main story is ongoing and most of my time is dedicated to that. As such, new chapters will, at first, be rather infrequent and irregular. If things go well, I may shift more attention to the story, but we shall see how things go.

Everyone was busy doing their tasks, some were working, some were chatting while others were resting.Suddenly, the sky was lit up by thousands of blindingly bright lights coming towards the earth at an extremely fast speed. Seeing this, people all around the world woke up from their carefree attitude and immediately turned their attention towards the sky. Some were confused, some were scared while others just sat down and prayed silently but everyone knew that it was the sign of an impending disaster.What are these bright lights and who has caused this ? Is it a human ? Is it god ? Is it the devil ? Or is it something beyond our wildest imagination ?Warning: Tagged [15+] for gore, violence and strong language.P.S: This is the rewrite of my first novel so please go easy on this poor soul. ^_^. Infrequent updates so don't blame me later on that you do not update it often.Also the first few chapters are a bit short, however the later ones will be of reasonable sizes.P.P.S: Don't try to apply science to this novel, because it will not help and wherever it might be used, the MC can do it himself.__________________________________________________________________________Side Info : This is not another novel with an OP MC, the MC will not get overpowered anytime soon, so if you want to read an OP novel, you've come to the [wrong place].
