“Aaaaah~ That wassss a good ssssleep… wait! Fuck! It wassssn’t a dream! Ssshit! Thiss isss sssso fucking annoying! Can I pleassse for the love of god ssstop hissssing!!!”
I shouted angrily.
It will take time, but you will eventually control the hissing.
“Sssseriously!? Time!? Ssssure… I have all the fucking time in the world”
I said, sarcastically.
“Well then, time to get back to killing”
I said, as I walked back into the forest.
“Ssssystem… what issss thisss foressst called anyway?”
I asked.
It is known by many names, but it’s most commonly referred to as: The Great Jaha Forest
“The Great Jaha Foressst… it hasss a nice ring to it”
I said with a small smile.
“Hisssssss”
I then heard a low hiss from outside my camp.
“Who’ssss there?”
I asked, then I saw a small red and black snake, its eyes were red like mine. Which gave me a sense of safety, since I knew that it was at least, somewhat similar to me.
.
“Oh… hey there little guy, are you here all alone? Want ssssomething to eat?”
I asked, as I held out some leftover cooked rabbit from last night.
“Hisssss”
It gave a low hiss, as it hesitantly slithered to me, ate the rabbit and slithered back to its original spot.
“It’ssss alright little guy… want to ssstay with me?”
I asked with a small smile.
“Hissss”
It replied with a hiss as it slowly slithered to me, then it coiled itself around my leg and fell asleep.
You have successfully tamed a rare “ Small Fire-Venom Snake” for taming a rare monster, you have gained the skill: Tame
“Oh… that’sss actually really fucking cool!”
I shouted excitedly, waking the “Small Fire-Venom Snake” in the process.
“Ssssorry about that little guy… what sssshould I call you?... How about Ouroborossss? Do you like that name? It’ssss based off the ssssnake that eatssss itsss own tail… I think it meanssss that the ssssnake has infinite… potential? Or ssssomething like that”

I said with a grin.
“Hisss”
It hissed happily.
“Okay then, Ouroborosss… let’sss go hunting”
I grinned as it hissed happily.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Ouroboros and I began hunting some rabbits, and I just found out that Ouroboros’ venom can do something really cool!
He can literally burn the blood of his enemies! Lighting them on fire! From the inside!
“Holy shit Ouroborossss! That wassss awesome!”
I complimented Ouroboros with a grin.
“Hisssss”
It hissed at me with a proud look.
“You can keep whatever you hunt, so… I guesssss you’re having quite a few rabbitssss for dinner”
I said, as I looked at the seven dead rabbits with agonised expressions on their faces.
“Want to go home?”
I asked with a grin.
“Hissssss”
It replied as it looked at the direction of the camp.
“Alright then, let’ssss go back”
I said, as I carried two wolves back to the camp.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
When I got back to the camp, I got several messages.
Your “Small Fire-Venom Snake” has evolved. It is now a “Fire-Venom Snake”

‘Okay, that’s actually pretty cool… I get half of the experience of whatever Ouroboros kills… so, if I tame more monsters… would I get more experience?’
I thought with a smile.
“Well then, time to check my [Sssstatus]”
I said, as the screen appeared in front of my face.

“Okay then, Ouroborosss would you mind if I started punching a tree?”
I asked, and Ouroboros just hissed at me with confusion on his face… wait, is Ouroboros even a male?

“Ouroborssss… are you a male or a female?”
I asked.
“Hissss?”
Ouroboros once again, hissed with confusion on its face.
“Ssssystem… what gender issss Ouroborosss?”
I asked, out of pure curiosity.
“Ouroboros” Has not evolved enough to get its own gender, wait until it evolves into a humanoid and then you will know the answer.
“O-okay… also, ssssystem… can you do the lottery thing now?”
I asked.
Rolling.
Several appealing things came across the screen.
“Goblin King”
“Armory”
“Adamantium Claws”
“Platinum-Diamond Armor”
“Spell Book: Necromancy”
But, what I got was… a “Wooden Hand”
“Sssseriously? What am I going to do with thissss!?”
I shouted angrily.
If you ever lose a hand, it would make a decent replacement.
“I-... fuck, it would be a decent replacement… except, I wouldn’t be able to move it!”
I shouted angrily as I punched a tree.
“...Calm down… think… what wassss I going to do again? Oh fuck, right… train”
I said, as I kept on punching the tree.

Core and Guide
A story about the awakening, and subsequent life, of an ordinary Dungeon Core. Along with a Guide, their only goal is to survive long enough to become the greatest Dungeon. How can an ordinary Core accomplish this when facing off against the world's ‘chosen’? Those who rush to his home for riches, glory, and everything in between. This Core knows one thing, though. Not every Two-legged freak that walks into their Dungeon can be a Hero. Authors Note - This will be my first attempt at writing, and any criticism is welcome. If you see any grammatical mistakes please let me know. I hope you have as much fun reading this as I will writing it.
8 136Slime migration
Kip was an ordinary teenage boy going on his final, year 11, camping trip, until the world changed into that of an RPG game. He couldn't even get a simple skill like 'identification', this new world make it extremely hard for him to even kill a simple slime. With his friends dying left and right, what will happened to the humanity we knows as. Will Kip remain the same person he always was, or will he changed into something else? Hey guys, thank you for checking out my work. I've read so many novels on this site and it inspired me to write my own story. I've been studying English for about 2 years now and thought this would be a good opportunity to increase my writing skill at the same time. I am currently studying my degree at a University so I'll continue to edit and write more chapter whenever it's convenient for me to do so (which is like, all the times haha). My first work can turn out to be a bit crude, but I hope you guys will be patient and allow little small slime to grow. Thanks!!!
8 214Oddball
Hi there! I’m currently on medical hiatus! “Oddball” will return August 31st! Safety. Comfort.How far should we chase these things? "Oddball" is the self-given name of a mask-wearing young man living a life of social isolation in the coastal town of Sepike Bay; he spends his days wasting away in his dorm room, only venturing out every now and again to do some light photography. "Oddball" is also the name of a mask-wearing young man living in the vast, cavernous dimension known only as "Limbo", where he wanders aimlessly for all eternity, shutting doors and protecting his safe place. But one day, when "Oddball" meets a strange girl in an oversized raincoat, his life in both worlds is upheaved as the things that once kept him safe become the things that try to imprison him. Hunted, cornered, and faced with new, frightening challenges and experiences, Oddball stands on the precipice of a choice that will forever change his life: take a chance on a newfound freedom, or remained trapped in his world of isolation forever. Obsessions. Fears. Anxieties. Two worlds. Two masks. One story. This is the tale of a boy named "Oddball".

The tides of destiny and the passing of time are unstoppable forces that dictate our lives and paths. Yet, within a single point in time, within a single universe, on a single planet, a single being was born of tragedy and suffering, to break this cycle. This man, was named by those who followed him, as Aristocles. Through sheer willpower and an unparamount tact through wisdom gained with research and study to become closer to being human himself, he became something more, more than just human. Over time he became hope, a hope in a better tomorrow, a hope in a future.

Join us in the journey of life, death, and hope that was forged by this unbelievable spirit. A journey of pain, a journey of enlightenment, a journey left behind into the chronicles of the universe, and well, a journey as an Ant... Well, no matter how far into the future one goes, none will ever say that this life failed to make a difference. . . Status: [Ongoing] . . . _______________________________________________________________ :'Original'Synopsis: _______________________________________________________________ . . . Aristocles was no normal guy. Living his life on the edge of insanity and daring, he led the charge on every military campaign you can think of. He toppled governments and seized control over nearly half of his world in less than a few years of beginning his military campaigns. Nearly a decade into his reign, aliens from another world invaded his world. With his whole race on the line, everyone swore fealty to him in hopes for victory. When taking the field, he and his forces took the field, they easily drove the aliens to the brink of defeat. Just when it seemed the day was saved, Aristocles came across what seemed to be the ground leader. """"Do you yield"""" Aristocles stated with a mighty and intimidating voice. """"Blow up the planet"""" was the response. In the next moment, Aristocles looked into the sky as a beam came to pierce his planet. His last words were """"You cheated"""" """"So?"""". Upon his death Aristocles heard """"This one has finally died, though his world is gone, will now reincarnate in different universe. Error, memories retained, changing reincarnation to ant, solution verified, confirm."""" Just like that, Aristocles woke up to discover that he was a larva in a small ant hill. Not only that, but he could see an experience bar and hp bar in the corner of his eye [HP:1] [MP:0] [EXP: 0/1]. How will Aristocles survive as the weakest being you could possibly think of? Join me in the great adventure of ANT TENSEI! . . Status: [Being Re-written/ Discontinued/On Hiatus] 'Final' Chapter: Chapter 14 . . . _______________________________________________________________ :Official Rewrite Notice: _______________________________________________________________ . . . As of May 18th, 2015, the particular version of Ant Tensei now being titled 'Original' was discontinued in favor 'Redux', the official rewrite of the novel. The reason being that I wasn't actually taking it seriously for more than half of the chapters. All of my Fantasy-Styled works were never originally intended for publication, but after a surprising amount of attention during the initial weeks of release on a different medium, the decision was made to develop my Fantasy-Styled works at my professional level. This decision has thus sparked the decision to Re-Launch Ant Tensei as "Ant Tensei Redux". If there are still a number of those still interested in the old version of the story that was written as a way to relieve myself of excess time, then i'll eventually look into reviving the original intent for Ant Tensei Original and draft off an independant series for it under the title "Ant Tensei Original". For now, however, "Ant Tensei Redux" shall be the only version being progressively developed and released. Please share your thoughts on this early version of my original novel, Ant Tensei. There were 14 chapters of Original released before the development of Redux began, the chapter 7.5 special not included. . . . Enjoy the work. ~White Overall Status: (Ongoing)
