Outside of the hive
"Hahhh What to do now???"I said as i sit on the back of Queen,while we are both sun bathing
"I think a few day of relaxing should do"I said as I've been doing quests a lot and don't have enough time for myself
"Hmmm do you want to go with me??"i asked queen and she just nob with happiness
"hahahahaha where should we go???"I said as i thought for a while for a not so dangerous place
Huh I only remembered now,i still haven't fully explored the hive yet,I only seen the queen chamber and nothing else other than that

"Can you give me a tour of the whole place???"I asked by sunbathing queen
Hearing what I said she just stand up with enjoyment as she make a series of clicking sound with a happy tone
After that she entered the hive with me in her back,it feels good riding on her back
Entering the hive she entered a series of complicated tunnels and then we arrived in what appeared to be storage???
There's a lot of skulls here,maybe it's not a storage,instead it's where they put heads of their prays as trophy
There's a lot of beetles here,they put a weird liquids on the skulls maybe to preserve them
Once I'm done with the viewing she entered another tunnel into a very wide room full of larva,the beetles in this room feed the larva what appeared to be secretion from the tree as I can see some transparent liquid secreting from the wooden wall and the beetles collected that to feed the larvas
After that we went to another room where the the pupae are located,the room is filled by what appeared to be shredded wood,the beetles in this room are different,they are larger from the other beetles that i saw,they appeared to be the guards
After that We went to the other rooms and finally we arrived in a large room guarded by a lot of beetles,and there are a lot of them here
There's nothing in this room except a large pool of white liquid that exude a sweet scent in the air
This seems to be a special liquid,I continue observing the liquid when suddenly my skill activated
Observed success
Unknown liquid
An unknown type of liquid that will allow a creature undergo their first evolution without fail,It's also known as a catalyst in making mana crystal or for mana crystal to naturally form

'That's interesting'I though as i look at the liquid,but there seems to be a downside effect,if a creature evolve prematurely then you already know what I mean,skipping the levels mean throwing away the stat points and mutation points
'Hmmmm speaking of mutation,I still haven't opened the mutation chart'I thought as I look at the liquid before opening the chart
Mutation chart(normal beetle) Mutation points:65-80(average mutation points of normal beetle.cause their levels are different) Possible mutations Hard shell/30 points Blade horn/10 points Thorn back/5 points Far sight/10 points Sharp claw/20 points Hard skull/40 points Sticky claw/10 points Fast brain/130 points Small lesser magic core/50 points
Hmmm I will surely go with the magic core,but i have a problem and that is the pain,I need to solve it so that we won't be invaded by other hive as it's impossible that we are the only hive here
"Huhhh I think of it later"I said as I open up the mutation chart of Queen
Mutation chart(beetle queen,note that this one don't need a mate as it can reproduce just by itself) mutation points:300 points possible mutations Improved womb/30 points Blade horn/10 points Thorn back/5 points Far sight/10 points Sharp claw/20 points Hard skull/40 points Sticky claw/10 points improved brain/165 points magic core/350 points hive mind/500 points Hard exoskeleton/20 points fast reproduction/300 points ........... .......... .........
Her mutation is a bit similar to that of a normal beetle,just that it have a lot more options,too long for me to read
Huhhh i need to solve this first,i need the normal beetles to mutate first,batch by batch and then after that the queen
Why??,How do you think it will affect the whole hive if they notice what's happening to Queen and it also let me think on what to do when it's her turn
"let's go now"I said as i pat her and she just continue on her way towards the chamber and when we are at the chamber i told her to pick 300 beetles after telling her my motives and she agreed happily

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter

Flashback: Siren Song
The year is 1969. Yancy Lazarus—bluesman, gambler, future world-class mage and fix-it man—is just a dumb, unlucky kid serving with the 3rd Battalion 3rd Marines in Vietnam.With just a few weeks left to go until Yancy gets shipped back to the States, he’s just trying to keep his head down and avoid a body bag—no mean feat in Nam. But when his squad is tasked with conducting a routine patrol deep in enemy territory, everything goes to nine kinds of hell, and he quickly sees his chances at survival slipping away.When the radio operators start to pick up some funky, dirty ol’ blues all the way out in the backcountry, it’s a nice change of pace. At least until the men in Yancy’s squad start losing their minds, turning on each other with murderous intent as the music works its deadly power within them. Convinced it’s some kind of new psychological warfare initiative, the squad leader forces the men to push deeper and deeper into the Vietnamese jungle, obsessed with locating the music’s source. What they find, however, isn’t some new technology, but an ancient spirit awoken by the terrible war. Even worse, the music is changing Yancy too, awakening something buried inside of him. Only one thing is certain, nothing is ever going to be the same.See how it all began … *** PRAISE FOR SIREN SONG:Hunter's writing is as low-down, gritty, and insidious as the blues Yancy Lazarus loves. Just like the mysterious music drifting through the jungle toward Yancy's squad, Siren Song will get under your skin and sink its hooks into your mind. —eden Hudson, Author of Halo Bound (the Redneck Apocalypse series) *** Hey everyone, this is James Hunter. This story isn't a full length novel--its a novella length work (25K words), and is part of my Yancy Lazarus series. Its already free on Amazon, so I thought I'd post chapters here for the good folks of Royal Road. If you don't want to wait for updates or would prefer to read it on Kindle, you can pick it up for free here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B01066TLC0
