This is not fair! If my ice won’t kill you what will!?
The frog struggles but is unable to move from being covered in ice.
I don’t get it, my magic is a laser of pure ice, yet you still live?
…
Of course you won't say anything, your mouth is frozen… and you're a frog. At least your survival instinct is stronger than your one to kill or we both would’ve died from your smoke thing… well it’s covered with ice so you can’t use it anymore.
The frog struggles even harder causing the ice to crack.
Oh, I could probably just sting you.
I crawl up to the frog and angle my stinger to one of its frozen eyes.
This is uncomfortable, but it’s really the only way to kill you without the tongue getting in the way. Wish I had eyelids.
I plunge my stinger in the eye of the frog, ending it in an instant.
[you have killed an monster, gained 5 physical points]
Physical points? Oh right! The board said something about magic points when I ate snow… what do I do with them?… Can I even see my status? Uh, status, board, me, apprasile? No? Ok.
I barely give an attempt at seeing my status for I don’t really care, and I’m not sure if one even exists, but what do I do with points then? Ugh… I’ll try later, and I wanna get my stinger out the frog's eye, it’s disgusting.
I pull out my stinger then turn towards the frog, I grab it tube because it is the only point I can latch on to then start pulling it away from the tunnel's only pathway out. Once there’s enough space for me to fit through I let go of the frog.
After crawling out of the tunnel I see it's halfway till day from the moon's position. I start flapping my wings to fly off, trying to balance with the extra weight from the frog's tongue which is still stuck to my stinger.

Okay! Which way do I go? I think the moon is going that way, right? It is the middle of the night so it's hard to tell.
I start flapping off into the distance, observing the beautiful night that would be prettier with flowers and a nest full of honey and pollen… Why am I so interested in honey?
I haven't realized it before but all this time I've been so infatuated with honey, this is strange… I mean it is absolutely amazing and sweet… again!? What is this!? No. Forget it. It's probably because I'm a bee, so I'll accept it…
I shake my bee head as much as my neckless body can and remove these thoughts to focus on flying and hope my mind goes into autopilot, a great skill that is easy to learn when you go to school…
How'd I die? I was only 13! So young! An amazing future… or not, wasn't all that good, had two friends, never talked to them… MY XBOX ACCOUNT! NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO IT!? no… my Xbox friends… I'll miss you. Oh, my parents too, and my sister I guess… bee life is better.
But how I died, gotta think about that… I can barely remember my old life at all, just basic stuff. I most likely died on the bus, it would be the quickest death… that would mean my sister died too… could've been a school shooter… getting shot would probably hurt, so best not to remember.
Oh, I'm a bit sad for some reason, I should forget this session of thoughts, focus on now, not before. Maybe everyone else reincarnated, can only hope they reincarnated as bees too, being a human twice would suck… are there even humans here?
Ow! My stomach… I'm hungry. Why are there no flowers in this place!? And I have none left because I ate it all before the frog fight, and I don't wanna go back and eat the frog… not even sure if I'm even able to eat meat.

Could I eat snow again? I can apparently get magic points and level up my ice magic by doing it, don't know if I can do it forever though, be a bit overpowered.
I stop my wings and let myself fall into the snow.
Hope there's no stone, or shallow snow, maybe I should've flown down carefully.
I crash into the snow, luckily without crashing into a hidden stone or landing in shallow snow.
I open my mandibles and start devouring the snow in a swirling pattern until I cleared out a giant area of snow.
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv3!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv4!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv5!]
[You now gain less magic points for fully leveling a skill!]
[You have gained 3 magic points!]
I clean my mandibles with my legs, I then use my tongue to wet my legs and clean myself to prevent any bacteria from collecting and causing the hive to get infected… Now that I think about it, pollen doesn't just turn to honey in your stomach does it? It's a magical world, so anything goes I guess. Why am I even cleaning myself? I won't be going to the nest any time soon, sadly.
Hmm, what do I do now? I'm lost, I have to eat snow, there's no pollen, can't go to any civilization or I might get killed… maybe I could make my own nest? I'm not a queen, but maybe I could aphid it and clone myself… somehow, I'm really lonely…
Maybe I should kidnap other insect larvae, ants did it on earth… not sure that the children will be of any use, and they might be smart enough to tell where not the same species… What if they can't eat honey? And there probably aren't any insects here in a frozen hell.

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

Grant Peart Saved the World, But He Can't Get a Girlfriend to Save His Life
There's nothing Grant Peart wants more in life than a girlfriend. Yet, for whatever reason, no woman on earth seems to want him for their boyfriend, and these rejections in spite of the fact that he's the very superhero who destroyed a meteor on a one-way course into the planet's surface. Now in peacetime, and with the world in no danger whatsoever, Grant lives out his days paying the bills with two dead-end jobs, playing video games in his spare time, and trying (and failing) to find that one woman in the world he saved who will say yes to a date with him. ----- Written work is published under a CC-BY-NC license.

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.

Quirkless?
As a small child my whole perception of the world changed. I was surrounded by liars and fakes. Humans are such a cruel species, if someone doesn't fit they are cast out. People turn a blind eye to cruelty I've faced, people don't care about the quirkless. Except I'm not quirkless. Far from it. All I can say is my treatment in this world made me strong but cold, bitter and apathetic. I was the only human I could trust, I and I alone. Here is the story of how I ended up in my version of hell, UA. Surrounded by, well you know, just about every single person I couldn't get far enough away from. And an overkill quirk just about everyone wanted a piece of. Yeah I was dealt some pretty shitty cards, now you'll see how I play them.Uploads depend on my schedule but I'll try weekly also error will be made cuz I dotn proof read, when I've finished I'll go over it 😅 The story follows Izuku but if there's a change in povs there will be a indication ⚠️ warning swearing and violence⚠️
