The Ancient Genes Chapter 80
Advertisement
« Reporting to Host, the changes in Host's behavior is related to the Awakening of the Ancient Genes. The host has already activated One-tenth of his genes. »
' But I don't want to. I don't want to lose control over myself. I could end up killing someone. I don't want something like this to happen. I want to be myself.', Max replied in a determined tone.
« Host won't lose control over himself »
' Then what was that a moment ago? ', Max asked in confusion.
« Reporting to Host, a week ago, Host had used « Bloodlust » in a dire state. The thing which occurred earlier was only a side effect.»
Max remembered the event. But he thought it should have only led to mental exhaustion. At this moment he remembered another thing. The voice. He clearly remembered a voice in his mind.
'System, I remember hearing a voice in my head that day, when I activated «Bloodlust». What was that? '
« Reporting to Host, as said earlier, Host's behavior is changing. Being the descendants of Primal Humans. It is in the very instinct of the Host to be a brave warrior. The skill « Bloodlust » obtained by Host earlier is one of the deadliest skills developed by God of War. The God only second to the first Human God. The voice that Host heard probably belonged to the War God. Host's genes might have reacted to this which led to the current circumstances. The host should be careful in using this skill. »
Max didn't speak. He understood that he had been careless. The power of the skill was too strong. It was obvious that it wouldn't come with a price. He had to be careful. He was already lucky enough to not go into a coma.

At this moment, a window popped out.
« Quest : First Revenge »
« Reward : • 8000 FP
• Observation Skill »
« Status : Completed »
Max smiled. At least he got some FPs. He clicked on the « Observation » skill.
« Observation » ( Basic )
A basic skill which can be used to identify objects and information on people. The amount of information obtainable depends upon the difference in the level of the Host and the designated target. »
Looking at the rewards, Max suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked the reward for the last quest. He immediately opened the Quest window and scrolled down.
« Quest : Mission Series : Find the objective and stop the Demons goal »
« Reward : • 20000 FP
• Equipment. »
« Penalty : ??? »
« Time limit : 6 months »
« Status : Complete »
He immediately checked the equipment.
« Ring of Space » ( 4★ Accessory )
It allows the user to teleport at random within a radius of 100 m.
Type : Upgradable »
Cooldown : 1 hour
Max immediately wore the ring in his index finger. The ring looked pretty old and rusty.
But still, as long as it properly worked. He wouldn't mind it. He really wanted to give the ring a try. But the thought of ending up in a random location stopped him.
" It's getting late. I should clean this mess and leave."
He ignored the guys lying on the ground and began cleaning the field once again.
…
An hour later.
Clubroom
Kevin was the first to return. His clothes were wet with sweat. He was panting. He had spent the entire time with the old lady cleaning toilets.
His dreams of having some sweet and pleasant times with beauty were crushed.
After a few minutes, Axle entered.

" What's wrong with you? ", He asked the fatty seeing him lying lifelessly on the table.
But the next moment, his tiredness faded and he jumped in joy with energy coursing his body as Lisa entered the room.
He stood up with his head high and took a strong stance.
Axle could only give him a disdainful look.
But very soon Kevin's legs start trembling as he saw the guy behind Lisa with purple hairs.
Norek came forward and just calmly introduced himself before taking a stool and sitting in the corner.
" Axle...w..why is..he..here? ", Kevin stuttered as beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
" He joined the club.", Axle replied as he started to take out the cleaning gears.
The next person to enter was Elly.
She looked tired but at the same time elegant as she gently wiped the sweat on her forehead.
" Here ", Lisa walked to Elly and offered a towel.
" Thanks ", Elly smiled and took the towel. But at this moment her eyes landed on Norek.
" Why is he here? ", Elly whispered.
" Dad ordered it. He even joined the club to look after me. I have lost my freedom. Although after my request, he told him to follow me secretly and not in open. But still, this ain't fair. I thought I would be finally free in Arcane. ", Lisa whimpered.
" Who told you to make trouble? If it wasn't for Mr. Murcas, what do you think would have happened? ", Elly said as she slightly knocked her fist on Lisa's forehead.
" Ahh!! Stop doing that. And didn't I tell you that he wasn't the only one? Although he played a huge role. If it wasn't for those two, we wouldn't even have reached that point. I too helped by the way." Lisa said as she rubbed her forehead.
" What are you talking about? ", Elly asked in confusion. This was the first time she was hearing it.
" Hey, where is Max? ", Hearing the voice, Elly turned to see Axle looking towards her.
" I don't know. ", Elly replied.
Axle frowned but didn't say anything. They were working together. How does she don't know about him? He obviously developed a bit of a negative impression of her.
But he already had enough of it. He didn't want to get involved with Lisa and neither with her friend.
At this moment the old Lady entered the room.
" Everyone is here? ", she asked as she scanned the room.

Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.

The Twin Lands
Join our heroine Enru on her journey in a world where humanity lives in perpetual light and warm while their enemies, the spider beings called Araxin, live in perpetual darkness and cold. Just because they live in the darkness and cold though doesn’t mean the Araxin want to stay there forever however, and this time their bid for the Southern half of the continent looks to be shaping up worse for humanity than ever before. Every ten years the planet nears its second sun in such a way that the Northern half of the continent warms and thaws and the Araxin enter a period of explosive growth, before always attempting to assault the humans in the South. Through events that you will need to read and discover yourself, sixteen year old Enru ends up vital to the survival of humanity, but can she succeed? In a world full of humans, dragons, giant intelligent spiders, trogs, behemoths lurking in the deep, magic, politics (can’t forget the politics) and more, what wonders await you? NOTE: This is my very first attempt at writing ever. Not just my first attempt I am showing people or my first attempt that went anywhere, but my first of any kind. I welcome constructive critisism and I know my grammar is not always the best. If something is majorly bothering you please leave a good comment or review on it rather than just a 0.5 rating and saying I suck. NOTE2: The main character will be gaining power that is, if used correctly, well above the standard for her race however I plan to implement it in such a way that she does not end up being crazy over powered and able to end every fight at her whim. She will struggle, she will lose sometimes and there will be loss along her journey to save her race. There will be no harem and I am unsure if there will be any sex scenes or even romance as this is my first story and I am not confident yet at being able to write that properly. So if you came here for the standard royalroad super OP guy that flies around having sex with every female character he meets, this is not that. Update Frequency: As this is my first story and I am still in the early stages, I cannot say how often updates will be. I lead a very busy life and this is a new way for me to relieve stress. I hope to be able to put out a few thousand words every few days at the least. Enjoy the story! PS. Cover was found on the website thedailybell.com, they did not source where they found it. I rotated and resized the image.
