《The Two Stories of Frontier Online: A Tale of A Boy and A Beast (Dropped)》Taking the time to upgrade myself.

Shuu's POV:
I logged in to find myself in a little alcove which appeared to be made out of tree branches, bushes, and skins of Wither Wolves. I looked around to see four puppets guarding the area.
[Command: Open Status] I say and it popped up for me

I looked over the details and my jaws dropped to the floor. 6,738 Points. I know I put on auto-evolving but to spawn 240 more puppets and to accumulate over 6,000 points I got to reward someone.

"Puppet #2 come to me" I ordered through the puppet network and he showed up with his squad. Puppet #2 had replaced his broken spear with a glaive-lance type weaponry. He also held the class [Iron Puppet Crush Berserker]. I looked at him with proud eyes. "Puppet #2 to reward you for all you done I will grant you the name Desiross, and give you the title Iron Puppet Boss." I told him and Desiross bowed his head forward before departing with his squad.
After that ordeal, I looked over the many skills that showed up in the Evolution Tab.
Last Will: Depending on the amount of willpower a puppet has, they will temporarily revive and deal damage to a target. This skill is a minor version of the skill [Death March]
Replicate Body Parts: You can replicate any body part you have seen/studied before. Usability and item grade will scale with Creation Skills/ Experience in crafting knowledge and understanding of the body part. Will upgrade into Original Creation skill.
Fortress Barricade: The armor cocoon will expand to create a barrier between you and your foes for 10 seconds, blocking all damage. This skill is one of two prerequisites for the skill [Metallic Frenzy]
I liked the skills I was seeing and put points into the long awaited skill I wanted [String Production] and I upgraded that into the skill [String Manipulation]
A new skill appeared on the Evolution Tab and it read
[window] String Takeover: Use the strings to control a target object for as long as the string is connected, String will automatically break after 3 seconds.
What an OP skill. Despite the 3 seconds break, 3 seconds in battle is enough to send most people to their deaths, I looked at the points to learn it and nearly fainted.

[String Takeover: Points to learn: 50,000].... 50,000 points is no laughing matter. I would have to keep everyone as they are, without spawning new puppets, for several weeks.
I sighed with disappointment and chose to enhance my puppets' speed, giving them firmer, nimbler legs. I set up a rule in Species Tab which had some puppets level their agility and strength. Also puppets going down this path are required to get the skills in the [String Production] Series. I then gave them the optional choice of either Armor Cocoon or Unrelentless.
Alright, 3,000 points for the string series, 1,000 for the speed enhance, so that leaves me with 2,738 points left. I've decided to learn [Shattering Embrace] [Fortress Barricade] and [Berserk Mode] and spent the rest of the points toward spawning more puppets, wasting 500 for another boss tier creature. I named him Darvanshell because he was defensed based.
I sent him off with his own squad and two assisting attack squadrons and turned to my current problem. My arm the Wither Wolf tore off was still missing. I crushed a tree nearby and gathered materials, pondering on what to make of it.
"Pincers?, Weaponize?, Shield?, the capabilities of what to make my arm were endless. I finally settled on a thin, stick-like skeletal arm which help me produced string. "Alright, I am ready for anything, so throw them at me" I shouted in excitement when a puppet rushed over
"Whats that?, intruders that have attacked my puppets?, we must go destroy them, 3 squads, with me"
And I followed after the puppet who gave me the news.

Our Goddess
Akari Mamori is a huge fan of Shintoism, from its modern practice to its ancient legends. As much as she’d love for those fantastical myths to be true, Akari doesn’t put too much stock in stories of gods and spirits with human-like forms and magical powers. Until she meets a genuine goddess and gets recruited into her harem! Rated Mature for a lesbian polyamorous harem, periodic nudity, and occasional sexy times! (no explicit on-screen sex at this time)
8 232WISH MOUNTAIN
I could give you a typical synopsis that you'll gloss over...or I could tell you the essence of what the story will be. Still with me? Great! Let's get to it... WISH MOUNTAIN is inspired by fairy tales and, in a way, animated Disney movies. The biggest inspiration of them all is Beauty and the Beast. Why? Because I love it and hate it at the same time. The thing I hate about the movie is how the villain, Gaston, never got a chance for redemption. The movie was all about what is on the inside that counts, right? Beast went from bad-to-good because Belle learned to love and care about him. Was Gaston not worth that same chance for redemption? Sure he was a bad person, but so bad that he couldn't also undergo the same kind of change for the better? It was this question that got me thinking... what would Gaston's redemption look like? What kind of story would that be? From this nugget an entire epic story unfolded that has both outgrown, but has never forgotten, that original inspiration. So what can you expect? In essence: something like an epic, adult-orientated Disney story, which is gloves-off when it comes to violence and character trauma. I'll be doing my best to write a story that is as close to a classic adventure fairy tale with real stakes and meaningful characters as I can. The story begins with two orphans; Amaryllis and Chicory, who are whisked away to the magical WISH MOUNTAIN, and are faced with fending for themselves all alone. This is a HUGE story that will take YEARS for me to finish. If you're ready for a journey to Wish Mountain, then Once Upon a Time begins with Chapter 1...
