《Evolution God. Weakest to strongest.》Chapter 3. Betrayal.
Advertisement
Jaus... Our hero, is heading to the port. He finds beasts and such but he defeats them...
He finds a few interesting trees but ignores them...
He walks for hours trying to get to the port... When he reaches it he is allowed to board the ship... But only as a human.
He transforms into his human form and asks for some clothing... The shipmaster gives him some spare clothing. They travel for a while. He sees the beautiful sunset... And sunrise... He sees the vast seas. He sees the monsters lurking beneath the boat... Waiting for their chance...
He waits and waits... Until they reach it. The human continent... He immediatly goes exploring and finds a place called "The Heroes Guild". In his memory the Heroes Guild is actually basically a guild of people with talents for defeating beasts and keeping their... Continent... Safe.
He enters and immediatly all stares are focused on him. He goes to the counter and asks to sign up... They allow him afture one test. The test of talents.
You have to fight a beast to get in. He accepts the challenge and enters a sort of collouseum. It's way smaller though. More like a sumo ring. A beast cage is dragged in. It's a Fire Fox. A non-cored one at that. They release it and let it charge at Jaus.
Jaus: "Simple. This is actually easy... Thought it might be stronger."
He said that and then hit the Fire Fox straight in the head crushing it's body and with only his fists.. Blood everywhere. The crowd is impessed enough to let him into the guild.
When he is registered a woman comes to him.
???: "I'm Liliana... Want to adventure with me for a bit? My last party was disbanded just before you came. You look strong. There has been some word of beasts around here. Let's go and kill them."
Jaus: "Sure Liliana."
Liliana: "Call me Lily"
Jaus: "Ok. Where are the beasts at?"
Lily: "The west entrance. Let's go right now!"
Said Lily as she smirked like that wasn't her only objective.
Jaus and Lily head over to the West entrance. There are a few Iron Boars. Iron boars have skin made out of Iron. It's a really good defensive armor. There are a few Sword Goblins around the Boars too. Sword Goblins are just Goblins with swords.

They approach them and Jaus just smacks them around killing them. Lily didn't do much. The battle ended fast. All the boars and goblins died from Jaus's mighty blows.
Lily: "Let's sell these. You can get better armor that way."
Jaus: "Ok. We shall do that."
Lily: "I know a good place. Let's go there. And after that I know a good inn to stay at."
Jaus: "Hmm... Ok. I'm fine with that."
Jaus and Lily went to a shop and sold all the Iron Boars and Sword Goblins. The bodies are usually sold unless it's a gigantic monster.
They got 5 silver coins for that.
Lily: "5 silver... Two for armor... Enough for 3 nights. Good. Now to get some armor for you."
Lily and Jaus go to another store where they buy iron armor for Jaus. Lily smirks again.
Jaus: "Where is this Inn you were talking about?"
Lily: "Right here."
She said pointing at an inn with a spiders mark. Jaus was a little suspicious but shrugged it off. He entered afture Lily.
Lily: "Get a room for two."
Innkeeper: "Ok. Go up the stairs and to the left. It's the third door."
Lily: "Thanks."
Lily and Jaus leave and enter their room. There are two seperate beds.
Jaus: "Why will we be staying in the same room?"
Lily: "Cheaper. Now get to sleep."
Jaus: "Ok..."
Jaus falls asleep and when he wakes up... All his items are gone. Well his iron armor. And the money was gone.
He looked around and didn't find any sign of Lily... When he exited the Inn... He was immediatly arrested.
Something about sexually assualting a girl and forcing her to do something. He was confused...
Jaus: "What's going on...?"
Soldier: "You assualted a woman called Lily. You forced her to do... Things... She told us she escaped from you when you fell asleep. Lily is a trustworthy woman around here so we know what to do with scum like you."
Jaus: "What...?"
Jaus was thrown infront of the king.
King: "Lily, is this the scum?"

Lily came out from behind an adventurer with good looks and used a sword and shield.
Lily: "It's him!"
Lily cried... Jaus understood that those were false tears. They had no emotion.
A guard stepped infront.
Guard: "Jaus the hero. You are now sentenced to death. Liliana is going to be paid 5 gold coins for telling us this information about you and for taking away her shock a little. Your execution will be done this afternoon. But first you will spend the entire day locked up in a cage infront of people."
The guard stopped talking and iron armored guards approached Jaus and grabbed him. Why didn't Jaus resist? He was confused. He didn't know what to do.
The Iron armored guards threw him in a strong cage he couldn't break. He tried to break it many times but couldn't.
Rocks were thrown at him. People who passed him called him scum and somebody not worthy enough to even live.
Jaus: "Why is this happening... I did nothing to Lily... Is this what they call... Betrayal for money...? I'll never trust humans again.. NEVER... I must get out of here... Must kill them who want to kill me... I'll let my killing instinct get the better of me for now..."
Jaus then started turning... Black. Black marks appeared on his body... Looking like black flames... He didn't want to die. So he had to kill. He had to destroy.
He learned this.
To survive... You have to kill.. Murder... Destroy... You must... Do everything.
He soon let go of his last piece of... Common sense... And crushed the cage and transformed into the ape.
This time it wasn't pure white with golden eyes...
He was.. Pure-white with pure-black marks spreading around his body... Long sharp teeth coming out of his mouth... He was 4x the size of a gorilla... His eyes were a blood red color...
He knew what this was.
"Corrupted Divine Gorilla" he named this. He marched towards the king's palace. He wanted to ask for Lily's position. Guards tried to stop him. He threw them into the wall...
This day... When Jaus turned... Corrupt...
Was called "The Crimson Day."
Want to know why?
Simple... Jaus killed... All. He killed everything who tried to stop him from surviving.
The only thing on his mind was:
"Survive... Kill... Destroy..."
He was on a march of death... The scent of dead bodies lingered behind him. The moon came up afture a few hours of Jaus destroying the capital city... The moon was a crimson red.
He reached the King's palace. Lily was there getting the 5 gold. He saw Lily and Lily only saw an ape... She freaked out and charged at it.
Jaus: "Kill... Lily... Kill the... Betrayer..."
Lily: "J...Jaus...? You were a beast?!"
Lily tried to run to the opposite side. But it was too late. A gorilla was already behind her. He grabbed her arm and smashed her into the ground. She bled... Her eye popped out... She was begging for mercy. Jaus didn't stop... He threw her into the air and jumped up and smashed her into the ground.... A rock was right where she landed... It pierced her stomach. A fountain of blood flew everywhere.
The King was too shocked to do anything as Jaus left... He decided to leave this rotten society. Humans aren't trustworthy. You see a human or a half-human. Kill.
The human continent wasn't actually all humans.
There were humanoids there.
Like Elves,dwarves, drows and such. They all banded together to survive against the onslaught of beasts.
Jaus... His trust was destroyed. His Divinity was corrupted. His ranking? 150. Cored. He was half-way to divine cored.
He left for the docks where he threw the person who sailed the ship he came here with into the ship and told him to sail. Back to the beast continent.
But there was a welcoming party for Jaus back at the beast continent... An army was going to pass through to attack the humans again.
But Jaus wanted to rank up... So what will he do?
Shall he befriend them? Ignore them? Attack them?
We shall find out next time!

What Was Lost Outside Time
What happens to a mind, subjected to an infinite span of time? What remains, when it is taken out again? This is the story of an individual reborn after such time has passed that nothing remains of what it was; an individual who must learn once again what it is to be, beginning with awareness of the idea of awareness, and growing from there; from awareness of self, to awareness of others, to awareness of society, and on. This is the story of a mind; growing, learning, adapting, and becoming more. -- Currently the first three chapters are - well, kind of experimental. I both like and hate these; they were a pain to write, and I'm told by at least one person that they're painful to get through, but I think something like them is necessary to set one of the basic ideas about the way the story is written. It gets slightly more normal after that, the first arc of the story is rather "battle school", and I think I may need to go back and edit it - the characterization didn't end up working out as well as I had originally hoped, unfortunately, and ended up rather weak to my eye. I may go back and add a sub-plot or two, depending on how well I can handle the intended perspective shift of the second arc. -- Currently on hiatus, in case that wasn't obvious. I'm debating between rewriting large portions of what I've already written, and just finishing out the story, but either way, I don't actually have a clear idea of what I want to do right now. If I'm still feeling the same way in a few months I'll put a chapter up explaining where the story was going, maybe, so the people who have enjoyed it can know where the story was intended to go, and close this out.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
