《The Two Stories of Frontier Online: A Tale of A Boy and A Beast (Dropped)》Evolution Change Test (Part 2)
Advertisement
I looked at the two choice presented to me.
Which would be cooler, Ice controlling Puppet or a Wind controlling Puppet.
I tore at my head unable to decide.
Well, time is running out so I jumped toward the winds to grab the evolution card.
I ran the entire way to the tornadoes, I jumped up onto a boulder and used my momentum to push off the boulder and into the tornado.
"Alright I got you" I exclaimed, and extended my hand to grab the card.
When I was about to grab the card, I hit the centermost edge of the Tornado, where the strongest of the winds were.
I let out a yell as I was blown away.
"I almost had it too" I cried.
Sadly the winds were too strong for me to handle and sent me flying.
I looked around to see myself in a grove of thorny vines.
I tried to identified the vines yet they refused to give me information on what they were.
After a few more attempts at the vines I decided to give up and just walk along the path of vines and rocks.
As I walked, I encountered Chasms that spanned the entire path.
I looked around to see vines that allowed me to cross.
Using my hooves to jump and my string pods to get access to the vines in front of me.
I felt a warm sensation enter my body and in shock I suddenly let go.
As I fell into the darkness I came to my sense and used my string pods to grip the walls and swung myself over to the exit.
I found myself in a semi-transparent room with no distinguished features except for three doors with rattling chains on them.
As I made my way to the center of the room the door behind me closed and three panels popped out from the floor.
Welcome to the Atrium, We have three trials for today, If you are lucky you can grab all three of their cards.

Trial 1: Snakes for Tails and lots of nails, we have come to find you, head of hair and a roar to scare, we have come to grind you, Wings for air, although quite frail, we have come to smite you.
Trial 2: Control who you are, control others around you, will you be a master, the master who moves all.
Trial 3: I am a dragon, roar.
Time Remaining: 31:39
I have no idea what Trial one was, but it sounded dangerous.
Trial 2 on the other hand had to do with control, mind control?, psychic forces?
Trial 3 seemed self-explanatory. and since it was a dragon, I chose to ignore it.
Trial 2 please. and ran up to the panel with the two on it and clicked on the button. The door with chains on it slowly unraveled itself.
I saw a pristine girl, in an 17th century dress for parties walking out and an overload of laces and frills. Her hair was long, lush and curled, Hair platinum blond, and skin fair as snow. Walking out she curtsied me and smiled.
I just gazed at her dumbstruck at what a pretty girl like her was doing down in a dark damp place like this labyrinth.
She just flicked her hand toward me a multitude of elastic materials grew from her backside and were sent toward me.
I panicked and jumped up, using my string pods to grapple to the ceiling. I dodged a chain, string, river grass?, and more. Some of the materials threw rocks or other assorted materials at me. I felt my body getting pestered and crippled as more and more objects hit and grappled me.
I felt my leg get caught and I was suddenly slammed into the floor. A mass of rocks rained down on me and I felt one of my legs disconnect. My string pods formed 8 spider legs and I crawled out of there asap.
I turned to face the girl and she was sitting there, on a chair of her strings sipping tea as she mocked me.

I went for a running start and launched a kick at her with my one good leg. Sadly the plan failed as she moved a wall of rock in front of her. I used this to my advantage however as my string pods propelled me upwards and downwards to slam her into the ground.
The sound of multiple bones breaking was heard and I got up to see the girl twisted unnaturally, blood protruding from many areas of broken skin.
I sighed as I went to stop her face in when the strings reacted and many of them entered my body.
I felt myself lose control as the girl smiled weakly. My arm grabbed my other arm and ripped it out of my body and threw it to the side, a second strand controlling it.
My good foot kicked my head until it bursted, leaving a gaping hole and a U shaped bend before she disconnected it as well.
I guess she thought I had died then for she let my body go, which was the mistake for her as I fell to the ground I propelled my body forward and with an earth-shattering stomp she exploded into a pool of blood. At the same time a warm sensation entered my body like when I was swinging from the vines.
Trial 2 has been completed, Missy the String Maiden is no longer an option for your species, Trial 2 has been replaced by another trial.
I tried to repair myself the best I could, but with no raw materials around I couldn't do much except for reattaching the salvageable parts.
Missing one leg, I hobbled over to the panels again and read the new Trail 2
Trial 2: Sticks and Stones won't break my bones, for I do not have any. A form I take yet not keep, for I will never stay long, I am me yet no identity is what makes this game so fun, Just you know, I have hated the sun.
I was curious on what it was but as soon as I clicked on the trial I blacked out.
Waking up in an empty room An information window opened in front of me.
You have taken an Evolution Change test and have acquired the following cards:
Sky Maneuverability: You know how to move in the sky, You get -50% air resistance and a choice of either Wings or leaping prowess..
Control: You have a better understanding on what control is, You can now manipulate objects in the surrounding areas (limited to contact)
Storm Sage: You encounter and battle through dangerous weather, You now have slight control over weather and have a choice of either (Fog Demon) or (Lightning Emperor)
Oh sweet I grinned to myself and calculated my choices and possible combinations.
Choice 1: Wings and Fog, I could fly and obscure myself, making me quite stealthy, include my tyrannical strength and String pods and that would be quite an opponent to beat (Fog Angel Puppet)
Choice 2: Wings and Lightning, the ultimate combo for speed, string and legs as a break measurement and sudden motions are good. (Blitz Wing Puppet)
Choice 3: Jumping and Fog, I don't really see how that would work, but Its a good combination, I guess it would be great for ambushes or assassinations. (Ambush Puppet)
Choice 4: Jumping and Lightning, Lightning to empower both speed and leap prowess. And when I land I could do an energy shock wave. For burst damage it would be great, Like a raid boss even, Nimble and difficult to hit, Wings once hit would only drag me down yet legs can make quick spontaneous movement. even if slightly damaged.
I was unable to decide, Eni-Mini-Mieni- Mo, I choose you
Hope you guys are liking this series so far, Like last time, I will let you choose the evolution. For you all to know, he is getting the control

Jalan Suram : The 100 Fire Holders
"Why us?" Still staring at the unusually stationary fire of the candle he was holding, Agung voiced the questions in our mind. "Out of 2 million people living in this city, why are we the chosen ones?" As if on cue, the eerie laughter of children could be heard above us. Holding our own candle tightly, we resolved to ignore them and continued our discussion. It was a matter of life or death after all. More than half of the initial participants had fallen and the building became more crowded as the result. There were now more ghosts than the living and each step was filled with danger from the unknown. Either we solved all the questions now or we would become another addition to the ghost camp. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was one thing Novita found out after she accepted an invitation to a suspicious event from a seemingly legal company. Crowded didn't exactly mean safe. As more and more variables were added to the dangerous ritual, the higher the risk of death. At the same time, the higher the risk was, the better the rewards for it. But in the end, was it worth it? Note : This series was posted on scribblehub.com under the same name.

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.

The book of forever
An experimental diary of sorts recounting my life and experiences, written as a slightly whimsical scifi story about setting off from the past to unknown lands, rebuilding from nothing and finding myself again. The first section of the book contains matched chapters, a chapter for a interlude, both happening at the same time roughly The second section of the book contains more one off stories as we follow one of the travelers explore their heart as well as a unknown land, growing in the process. All of the text here was written in 10 syllable chunks, this reads like a epic of sorts, just with more philosophical focus and POV jumps. Hope you enjoy! >Updates may be sporadic as I only write when I have something about myself I want to share The chapters can all be read individually, although there may be some crossovers between them they work as single poems. You start at whatever chapter you want since these are a collection of roughly connected poems (although you'll notice tie ins and references to eachother)

A Suspicious Lack of Horses
World: The framework of reality. The rules which govern interaction. The dimensions within which existence takes place. Soul: Mind. The source of thought, of consciousness. The means by which reality is observed. Body: Form. The means by which one interacts with the World. The substance from which reality is formed. Spirit: Life. The connection between Soul and Body. The anchor to the World. What happens when these foundational forces are given human form? When they're confronted with the truths of human nature, of human frailty? When the evils of reality are thrown in their face and the question is asked: What are you going to do about it? Why did anyone ever think they'd need horses? I upload ~30k word chunks at the beginning of every month, rotating through each character in order. I have at least four extra chunks on my Patreon. I suggest setting your reading preferences to indent and 30 pt paragraph spacing for the best reading experience.
