MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist Chapter 12

Chapter 12
The midnight phantom landed almost soundlessly on the ground covered by patches of grass.
When Ren laid eyes on it, the corner of his mouth twitched in a grimace, and his heart thudded hard against his chest.
The beast was a black panther and stood two meters tall and nearly four meters wide. Its body was so dark, giving it justice to be called the Midnight Phantom. It was almost undetectable with all the shrouding darkness with only the faint light of the twin moons as a source of illumination.
It’s quite beautiful, actually. And right now, its cold amber glowing slit eyes were currently locked on Ren with curiosity.
It began to slowly move towards him in elegant steps. Its graceful stride was indeed eye-catching.
Ren drew his long staff, eyes staring at the Midnight Phantom intently.
The Midnight Phantom’s sleek glossy fur rose in anger upon sensing hostility.
RoOaArR!
“Come.” Ren didn’t move from his position at all. It was useless anyway. His AGI was low, and he couldn’t run from the beast’s speed. If he did, the beast might land a critical hit if he showed his back.
The Midnight Phantom’s body crouch down, fangs baring and fur-raising. It was gathering power and momentum to launch an attack.
WhOoOosSh!
With a leap, the Midnight Phantom charged at an incredible speed that made Ren’s heart tremble.
Ren quickly cast Fire against the Midnight Phantom.
–142 Critical Hit!
[ Midnight Phantom suffered from BURN
–5% HP every minute ]
–20 (BURN)
Ren smiled when the [BURN] status appeared next to the HP bar of the Midnight Phantom. There was also a high chance of [Critical Hit] and [Status Effect] if you attacked your enemy’s weakness. It was the reason why Ren chose the [Fire] Spell early on since most beasts were weak to fire earlier in the game.
However, his smile fell right off his face when the beast just shook off his fur, and the [BURN] status was removed.
Leaping from where it stood, the beast swiped its sharp claws against Ren.

“Urk . . .”
Ren watched helplessly as his HP bar was depleting and flashed red in alarm when it half. Even though his DEF was high, the beast’s multiple attacks were a problem.
Ren immediately consumed [Health Potions] to recover his HP.
[Consumed Health Potion x5
Remaining number of Health Potions: 56]
When the cooldown of his Fire spell was over, Ren cast it once more against the beast.
–122 Critical Hit!
[Midnight Phantom suffered from BURN
–5% HP every minute]

–20 (BURN)
Again, the Midnight Phantom just shook his fur, and the [BURN] status was gone from the side of its HP bar.
The Midnight Phantom attacked once more, and again Ren just healed his HP by consuming potions.
They keep going at it until the Midnight Phantom’s HP bar drastically went down to just two digits.
Ren’s face brightened. He could really win against it!
But just as he was about to bask in his glory, the Midnight Phantom’s whole body glowed red, and its eyes turned Blood Shot.
[The Midnight Phantom entered BERSERK MODE!]

The Midnight Phantom attacked once more, and Ren watched in horror when his HP bar flashed red before his eyes.

SHIT!
Ren’s face was white when he was left with just 1 HP. If the beast’s last hit were any higher, he would surely find himself respawning in Euclid Village with an EXP penalty.
The amount of EXP penalty he’d received was equivalent to the amount of EXP he’d get from the Midnight Phantom. Which meant around -5,000 EXP give and take, because of Ren’s high ATP.

It was the game system that calculated the EXP rewards and penalties. It considers the time a player defeats his enemy and the player’s ATP.
Since his ATP was high, and it took longer for him to defeat the Midnight Phantom, the amount of EXP he’d get from the beast was only, more or less, 5,000 EXP. Ren thought.

The player in the past who got the very first blood from the Midnight Phantom achieved a +7, 000 EXP.
However, Ren wasn’t after the EXP. He was after the first blood rewards for being the first to defeat the very first boss in the game.
However, Ren didn’t expect that the Midnight Phantom would be this strong early in the game, even when his DEF was very high at this point in time. It was his fault for thinking that he could take it head on this early with little preparations.
But he was already here, and it was too late for regrets.
Ren immediately consumed [Health Potions].
[Consumed Health Potion x10
Remaining number of Health Potions: 27]
Ren wiped the sweat off the side of his face and grinned. No matter. His next attack would surely end it.
Ren cast [Fire] with great enthusiasm for receiving his rewards of being the very first to kill a Boss. His fire hit the Midnight Phantom, and the beast howled in rage.
–177 Critical Hit!
“Yes!”
Ren beamed and almost jumped in joy when the Midnight’s Phantom HP bar went down fast.
However, his smile left his face when the Midnight Phantom’s HP gauge stood still at 1.
[The Midnight Phantom entered LAST STANCE MODE!
Acquired Skill:
? Moonlight Rage
–– Land Critical Damage regardless of enemy’s ATP and position
–– Cost –50MP
–– Single enemy target ]
FUCK!
Ren forgot about the [LAST STANCE Mode]. It was a Boss’s final mode, and usually, they acquire a new skill or spell in this mode.
However, Ren didn’t expect that the Midnight Phantom could also enter it. This mode was only available to high-level Bosses, and the Midnight Phantom was just a newbie Boss. There was also no record that it could enter [LAST STANCE] mode.
Was it because it was his very first boss?
Or was it a bug that he didn’t know?
Whatever it was, it was too late. The Midnight Phantom was about to attack, and Ren closed his eyes, already thinking of what to do once he was back in Euclid Village.
The death penalty from a boss and dungeon fight was an EXP reduction equal to the amount of EXP you’d get from the fight.
Such was the shrewdness of the developer.
There were a lot of instances where players’ ATP automatically went zero from a boss fight or dungeon raid no matter how the EXP penalty was distributed within the group when they died. And most gave up playing because of frustration or recreated their account entirely since their ATP was reduced to zero. A newly created avatar had more ATP than that.
It was also one of the reasons why a lot of players preferred to stock their EXP in case something happened. And it was also one of the reasons that guilds only wanted the best of the best within their group because they didn’t want to suffer from the enormous EXP penalty that was enough to make all their hard-earned ATP to zero in a boss fight and dungeon raid.
And since Ren all used his EXP, he was sure to suffer an ATP reduction based on the Midnight’s Phantoms EXP rewards calculation.
Ren could only sigh in helplessness because of his own mistake of underestimating the first boss.
DiinNgG!
A notification prompted Ren’s eyes to open.
[Midnight Phantom suffered from BURN
–5% HP every minute]
–20 (BURN)
The reaming 1 HP of the Midnight Phantom went zero, and the beast howled and dropped dead from burn while it dissolved into white particles and vanished from thin air.

The White Rabbit
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is highly advised.

Transmigrated as an NTR’ed protagonist.
WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.But when he tried a new game something happened to him.He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him. A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated. Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.I also post on Scribble Hub and Webnovel.

I was Reincarnated as Bai
The young boy opened his eyes, what he saw was something that he never expected. He was sitting on a chair in the middle of the dark room. And in front of him was a computer monitor. "What is this?" The boys uttered as his dark eyes opened wide. "A script?" The young boy even surprised at what is displayed on the computer screen. "The author of { Legend of the Perfect Emperors }." The young boy narrowed his eyes and read what he saw. "I'm Bai. The best author in the world. No one can criticize me or fool me. I'm perfect." Spoiler: Spoiler This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author’s imagination or used in a fictitious manner.

Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.
