I tried to bind the enemy’s movements with my World Devouring Howl, but the enemy howled again. My World Devouring Howl seemed to have slowed it down, but that second howl allowed it to shake those effects off.
Equal? No, he’s a little weaker.
He’s mad though. If I’m careless, I’m the one who’ll end up injured. I still have three swords left. Can I finish him off with just those?
“Turn Me into a BladeEnchant!”
Black flames clad my sword as I faced the enemy again. The centaur kicked its hooves against the ground as it inclined its body toward me. It looked just like a bull about to charge.
“GYaaRUAaAAa!” The maddened centaur charged toward me.
I swung my sword from below.
I filled my legs with ether and kicked off powerfully against the ground to close the distance and nullify the long reach of the enemy’s spear. At the same time, I unleashed my sword from below toward the centaur with a force capable of breaking even a boulder.
The centaur swung down its spear as I swung up my sword.
—It’s a small difference, but the faster one is me!
The lower part of the centaur was cut as my sword slashed up to meet the descending spear. I stopped for a moment to confirm the enemy’s wounds.
“GYaaRURUAAAA!” The centaur howled.
But the enemy didn’t care about its wounds even a little, and it swung down its spear again. Taking on the force of the descending spear was just like taking a falling tree head on. I was pushed back.
—Is the enemy stronger!?
My legs sunk into the ground as my arms endured the pressure of the spear. When I tried to move, I found that I couldn’t. I clicked my tongue.
The enemy howled a deafening cry as it swung down its spear a second time. There was no hesitation nor pain to it, only the desire to crush the enemy before it.

“My life is like a cloud of dustAccel!”
I blew up ether behind me and rammed my body into the centaur again. I expected to send the enemy flying, but it managed to endure the force this time.
The centaur’s legs sunk into the ground, but the one suffering was me. The heat emanating from its body was just too hot.
The part that touched its body had already started to burn.
“Let my body be inviolableShield!”
The burns stopped when I invoked Shield, but then the enemy’s spear came swinging from the right. I dodged it by bending down my body, and then as I jumped back, I swung my sword toward its arms.
—It’s hard!
The skin of the demihuman was hard like an armor. As my sword flicked off, it affected the direction of the enemy’s spear. I managed to cut the enemy, but it was a shallow wound, unable to reach to the bones. Regardless, the enemy raged as it looked to kill me.
“GYaAaaRURUAaAA!”
Seemingly having lost itself in its rage, the centaur charged at me with its spear held high. It was a charge that wouldn’t lose out even to the human cavalry.
“Turn Me into a BladeEnchant!”
I invoked enchant along with theThird ChantThird Impact and the King’s Dance at the Edge of Death. All the damage I’ve been receiving until now would be inflicted double to the enemy. That power burned in the black flames that clad my sword. My Sword Mastery A- helped perfect my movement as much as it could.
Using only the necessary power to move my arms as my elastic legs supported them, I took a breath in preparation of the fastest attack I could muster.
The enemy was pointblank.
The spear was the first to descend, and then my sword.
—But the faster one is still me!
Spear and sword clashed in midair. Red flames mingled with black. It was a battle of strength as our weapons clashed, but in the end, we both deflected to the side.
Both of our stances broke, but I managed to endure it, and as I turned to the centaur, I saw the enemy wide-open.
Forcefully, I took my sword back and thrust it toward the enemy.
—I’ll be taking your life!
My sword entered the chest of the centaur, and it stopped moving.
Still clad in black flames, I gradually pulled out my sword from the body of the unmoving centaur.
When I’d pulled it out, it suddenly occurred to me that the battle might not be over just yet, so I reassumed my stance.

“Get back!” Gi Za said.
But then Gi Za called out, and I reflexively jumped back. The spot where I was just moments ago was now taken up by the fire pouring out from the wounds of the centaur. The shaman, Gi Za, tried to snuff out the fire with his wind, but like pouring water on hot stone it had no effect.
The raging flames dominated those powerful winds that could tear apart even iron.
“Abominable… Humans…” The words that left the maddened centaur were full of hate.
Seeing it speak surprised me a bit, but it didn’t change my resolve to kill it.
The flames looked for me, but Gi Za’s winds altered its direction, opening a path which I took. It was scorching hot, so hot just the winds were enough to burn one’s skin and keeping one’s eyes open was nearly impossible. I called the black flames upon my sword once more.
If I could get past those red flames, I would be able to reach the centaur’s body. It won’t die with a sword to the chest, so this time I’ll have to take its head.
But when I was about to take the centaur’s head, the flames pouring out from its body tried to slam into me like a blunt weapon.
—How!?
Spitting the same words in my mind that Gi Za spat a while ago, I met the red flames with my own black flames, but I immediately regretted it. It was foolish to try and cut flames with a sword, yet contrary to my expectations, when my sword met the flames, I felt a weight behind them, and I was able to deflect them.
—A chance!
Quickly changing my thoughts, I took back my sword and held it underneath my arms as I ran for the centaur’s head.
I swung my sword with great power. If this hit, even its bones would surely be crushed.
But in that instant, something suddenly wrapped around me and the centaur, a white something… Spider threads!
“Ku!?” I said in surprise.
“…GYaaRURUAAaa!” The centaur howled.
“What are you doing, Lord Nikea!?” Gi Ji asked.
The thread wrapped around me and the centaur clearly came from her legs.
“It would be better if we could take him back alive,” she said.
Those words poured cold water over our intense battle.
So that’s what she was planning!
Nikea calmly pulled on her threads despite my glare.
“My threads are the toughest among our tribe. They cannot be cut no matter how strong one is. Goblin King, do not waste your strength,” Nikea said as she watched me struggle.
The assassin, Gi Ji Arsil, pointed his blade at her. He said in a cold voice, “Do you intend to harm the king? Release him at once!”
“I forgot to mention this, but…” Nikea began to say.
It was then that I noticed the centaur in pain. A closer look would show that the threads wrapped around it had turned purple.
“My threads have toxin in them. If you hurt me even a little, a powerful poison will enter your king,” Nikea said.
Suddenly, the threads wrapped around the centaur burned.
“Impossible! It’s been treated several times with water spider oil!” Nikea cried out in alarm.
It seems the situation has turned for the worse.
I wonder if I can get rid of these threads wrapped around my sword with Enchant.
“Turn Me into a BladeEnchant!”
I called forth the black flames and cut off the threads.
“!? That’s… Impossible…” Nikea cried.
I cut off the rest of the threads even as I ended up cutting myself a bit.
Just as I managed to free myself, the spear of the centaur approached. I deflected it with my sword clad in black flames.
Looks like I really will have to kill this guy.
“Abominable… Humans!”
Those words seething with hate resounded right in front of me as the spear descended and clashed with my sword.
Tl Note: Second chapter. Apparently, someone donated yesterday, but I only noticed it today. Because of that there was no chapter yesterday. Sorry about that. To make up for that, there’ll be a free extra chapter today.
By the way, is it venomous or poisonous when it comes to spider threads? I know it’s supposed to be venomous when it bites, but threads don’t bite, and you don’t really have to eat them to be poisoned either, so… which one is it?
In other news, after getting Zelda (switch version), I suddenly found out that the king’s predicament with his weapons constantly breaking is much like link’s. I just started master mode, and I keep running out of weapons. Sigh… By the way, Jiggly hasn’t finished the game yet, so no spoilers!
IMPORTANT TL NOTE 2: Jiggly forgot to translate these lines: “It would be better if we could take him back alive,” she said. Those words poured cold water over our intense battle. So that’s what she was planning!

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)

Looping, oh the fun! (Naruto)
Naruto and Sasuke are looping, and they're bored. They've already destroyed Konoha 15 times, taken over the world 15 times, gathered a harem 20 times and failed each time, joined ANBU 78 times, created their own villages over 30 times... What should they do now?For those of you who don't know what looping is, basically, it's time traveling done over and over and over again. Sometimes, it can also be dimension jumping (which appeared in my story). Something always triggers looping. Most of the time the trigger is death. If a character dies, he will wake up back in time. Do things, die again, and wake up back in the same time again. Or in some circumstances, wake up and find oneself in another dimension. See "Naruto Omake Files Innortal Style" for reference. Recommend Chapter 7 New Intros.
