《Lost In the Void. (Monster Evolution LitRpg)》Chapter 6. Hunting prey
Advertisement
Once again I was running through the forest to find stuff to kill. I didn't find much excepted for a few flying monsters that were too fast to get near as they flew away and blended into the treetops. It was pissing me off that I couldn't find much. They could be hiding from all the noise that I am making, or they already ran away before I even got here.
Getting annoyed I stopped running full speed through the forest and slowed down enough to where it was harder to hear me moving through the brush and root infested area I was in. Sure enough something came insight. Frightling Lv: 4 Tier 1. Slowly I approached watching from the treeline. A dog with a human face that had a row of sharp teeth was moving back towards the area where the pond was. It was at least 2ft (0.61 m) long and a 1ft (0.3 m) tall. It didn't look too smart as it chose to ignore everything around it probably thinking it was the top dog or something like that. I know I should play it safe and fight smart, but after that first fight I just couldn't fight like that It just felt like something was missing from the one-sided slaughter that happened. Putting the skin off in a brush to keep from it getting damaged during the fight.
Looking at the Frightling closer it was easy to tell it was STR focused with the muscles it had but looked slower than me all thing considered. I Got ahead of it by a good 25ft (7.62 m) and stepped out onto the trail it was using. It stopped and looked at me before howling at me to say I was an idiot for trying to fight it. Maybe I was, but I wouldn't let that stop me.
“Come on already fucking ugly bastard.” I roared at it. It stopped and looked at me for a second before it realized I just insulted it. The Frightling's face snarled up into a hideous visage. It became a rage fueled Idiot as it ran towards me. Before the fight I had manged to refill my Mp to full from how long it took to find the beast that was now charging at me.
Inferior Light Bolt was shot 6 times repeatedly at its front left leg. Already at halfway away from me the first two bolts hit tearing it up, but it still ran towards me. A second later the rest came towards its leg again but because it stumbled 3 hit it in the chest while the last one struck its left ear tearing a large chunk out of said ear. But it still shrugged all that off and limp ran towards me. Having used up 12 mp with that last attack. I prepared myself with two Inferior Void Slashes. When it reached me I stepped to where I had injured it, as I did that it reared up and tried to stomp me where I was just at.
My left claws glowing with power as I raked them across the joint where the leg met the shoulder, as my claws bit into the flesh of this thing It hit the bone and stopped before sliding across and out not dealing a lot of damage. Seeing this I aimed for its stomach, Before I even hit it bashed its body into me dealing a total of 6 points of damage to me, still I grit my teeth and slashed with my right claws aiming for anything I could hit. My claws swiped down its beefy back before I was sent flying a few feet back.

I am faster be he it stronger and more durable. I had to be careful I had around 4 heals left and one shot, maybe less if I shot it more seeing as light did more damage to it. The Frightling was doing that well either, I think it has around half its health left from how mangled its leg and chest are. I cast another Inferior Light Bolt and let it hang besides my head. It seemed to be paying that more attention than it did me seeing how it had done more damage than I did my claws.
It charged once more towards me keeping the bolt in its sight not letting it out of view. This was good for me, I ran towards it too. When I was 5ft (1.52 m) away I fired the bolt towards the face and watched as it reared up trying to block it from hitting it in the face with its chest again and slid under it. Taking both my claws I ripped at the unprotected area around its stomach, pushing them as deep as they would go. I only got them in about 5 inches (0.13 m) into its gut before feeling it coming down from rearing up I used my legs to launch me to the side before it came crashing down on top of me.
A loud wack sound as it dropped all of it weight down. Before it had a chance to figure out I was not there I went towards its face and plunged both of my claws towards its neck and eye. It screamed in pain as tried to bite me but because of the angle I was at it couldn't reach me with its mouth. Seeing as the fight was already over I pushed even deeper going and far as I could get. My left hand went it deeper than the right as I penetrated its brain. Soon it ceased to move anymore as not even a growl came out as the limp body. A small ding noise rang in my head as it died which confused me.
Frightling Lv 4 Tier 1 slain exp being awarded. Woah I never heard it make a noise before it showed me a message from the system. I wonder if I can get it to only ding and when I get to a safe area I can go over them. Because if I can get it to put the message off to the side where it won't block my vision It would be safer for me when fight to not get distracted.
You have leveled up. Now Lv 2. Your STR +2, INT +2, VIT +1. You have gained 2 Free points. Inferior Light Bolt has reached Lv: 2/5
The gains from killing the beast were good. I'll invest the free points after I return to the pond and rest for a bit. Going over to the corpse I rip off a thick leg of meat and go to pick up the skin of the Hollow Kit that was put off to the side. While that happens I use an Inferior Healing to top off my health. Leaving me with 28 mp left for a fight in case something comes my way thinking I'm exhausted from my fight just now. 4 heals and 4 shots not bad, but I should head back. But I hope to run into more stuff along the way. Holding the skin back with my tail and eating with my left hand I went back towards the red pond.

Few came towards me when I traveled on the trail that headed to the pond, but mostly watched from the shadows of the trees or in the treetops. Some couldn't blend in at all but were enticed by the smell of blood dripping from the leg I held. But didn't attack waiting for a chance to strike after I fought a stupid monster that challenged me. It was boring with them all watching and not fighting.
I moved the now half leg of meat at the monsters trying to make them attack. I'm going to give up 2 heals for 9 shots of Inferior Light Bolt. “What's wrong you stupid bastards can't come out of the shadows to fight little old me for some juicy meat. What are you cowards.” I jeered towards them.
All kinds of noises could be heard as anger filled them. The smart ones backed away while a few of the dumb ones came out to meet me. Three monsters came out into sight. Grimeling Lv: 2 Tier 1. Grimeling Lv:1 Tier 1. Grimeling Lv: 2 Tier 1.
The left and right had higher levels than the one in the middle. Not seeing any choice now I used those Free points to Increase my AGI by 2 points once again as pain hit my body, but it wasn't as bad as when my body was being created from nothing, so I could deal with it. The changes occurred almost instantly, but the pain was there as a dull ache that was pushed off into the back of my mind.
The Grimelings were a tad pool looking monsters with pale white skin that was almost. Two legs that were as thick as the one I was eating with little arms that only looked like they were used for pushing off the ground when they launched. The most dangerous thing abut them was their whip like tongues, that came out 5ft (1.52 m) from itself.
As they began to move closer by launching themselves at me, I shot both the left and right ones with as they flew through the air with 4 shots of Inferior Light Bolts each while saving one by my head just if I needed to get out of a jam if I had too. The bolts ripped them to shreds as they struck their targets leaving the middle one left alive. 2 dings rang out in my head, but the messages didn't pop up into view that was good.
Looking at the last monster left in front of me its eyes showed fear when looking at me having killed its brethren in less than a second. It looked around in fear as it tried to find an escape from me. Well I'm not going to let it escape that would be stupid of me to allow that to happen and give this thing a chance for revenge. It turned and tried to flee towards the pond which was at least an hour away so yeah it was not getting away from me at all.
I picked up the skin with my tail again and ran after it leaving the meat leg behind. Little did I care for what the other monsters did with the corpses of the Grimelings that I had just killed.
Before the Grimeling laded from launching up into the air I had already sent the last bolt towards its knee to cripple it. And my shot was true as it tore through the knee, making it slam into the ground as it landed on said knee. It whipped its tongue at me as I closed the distance to it. A small gash cut me on my stomach as I evaded the blow heading to my head by twisting. As I got in close its tongue had less of opportunity to hit me. It tried its hardest to escape by thrashing around to keep me at bay. I jumped on top of it back I stomped the fuck out of its head. And ten good stomps later it died, and I got another ding. I didn't stay and went straight towards the pond as soon as I could not be wanting any more attention from the local wildlife thinking I was weakened by the fight.
Just before I got into the area around the pond I fired off the rest of my mp with Inferior Void Bolts making it raise to level 2/5 today was a good hunt but for now I have to regenerate more of my resources. Waiting will be boring, so I'll have to play around with a few ideas while I'm waiting here. I might be able to raise my stats or gain new skills by doing things but for now I will have to wait and see if my theories are true or not.

The Essence of Cultivation
After experiencing five years of an adventurer's life, Arcanist Sylar Wershin now spends his days catching up on developments in Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets and artifacts discovered by him and his companions throughout their time travelling the realms of Resham. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject of intrigue, however, displaces him across the Planes beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, however, does he truly even want to return back to his old world? If nothing else, plagiarising - ahem, learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining. Sure, there were new dangers in this foreign world, but they wouldn't be anything a fancy bit of spellwork couldn't solve. Though, he would appreciate it greatly if someone could explain to him just what this 'cultivation' business was, why the local Mages were all muscle-brained freaks obsessed with immortality, and why they all seemed to lack any appreciation for the finer details of Essence manipulation. That would be nice.

Pocket Dungeon Lite
Based on the Pocket Dungeon original novel made by Stuckin (I asked for his permission beforehand). I do not know if this could count as a fanfiction as I made up many elements on the go so, for now, I will list this as an original but if Stuckin-sama would like me to change it I will be fine with doing so. This is somewhat of a self-insert but I made sure not to make the MC to OP. Also, the creator of the cover is Vurguy I tried to contact him to ask for permission but couldn't due to technical issues please go support him on Deviant Art and I don't own the picture so if he wants me to take it down than I am completely okay with doing so. As I am an improving author, I am glad to receive any constructive criticism or critical review I just hope that everyone will give me a chance before they yell at me for something or at least tell me what made them angry so I know what the issue is and can figure out how to deal with it. For now, my schedule is 1-2 chapters a week and if I am busy with either work or school 1-3 chapters every 2 weeks. I expect a bunch of chapters at the beginning around 5 or so and for me to continue from there. I will try my best to keep some chapters in storage for any time where I can't write for whatever reason. I will continue to change this part of the synopsis if anything changes in my update schedule. - From a thoughtful Author Pocket Dungeon is a widespread interstellar game that has captivated the attention of many races and civilizations. Nowadays in the 2300s anyone not living under a rock would grow up with a dungeon and learn to manage it over time as they make mistakes along the way. But as all things go there is always an exception and this exception can be found in Nadezhda Ledopad who had an overprotective family that didn't let him interact with anything but those they deemed worthy and safe. This overprotectiveness caused them to forbid him from gaining a pocket dungeon as they knew with his intelligence and specialties in certain fields he would become a strong dungeon master, quickly. This was something his family was very much against as they knew that his competitiveness and duty to maintain the Ledopad family's reputation would push him to win in the competitions that he would inevitably get invited too. This all changed when Nadezh graduated high school and moved to the Celestial Plane capital star as a Prodigal student in planetary conservation (major) and revival of species through DNA transferal (minor). His brother in all but blood Tet schemed to get him into Pocket Dungeons when they got there as no one would keep Nadezh from playing. Nadezh excited to join his peers in this famous game looked forward to doing so. But with this one decision, many futures changed and the Fates laughed as people of strong destinies meet together on this plane. Warning - This will probably contain LGBT+ relationships. You have been warned, I will not tolerate stupidity to the ninth degree in the comment section and I hope that people can be logical enough to GO AWAY if they don't like this kind of thing. If you don't feel comfortable with mature or explicit scenes I will put a warning in the chapters or parts with such and I just wanted all of you to know that this will be a long novel as with most novel I will write in the future so don't expect a deep romantic relationship anytime soon.
