Rise Of The Worm Sovereign Chapter 25
Advertisement
"Crimson Eyed Emerald Worm." Lin Wu declared.
As soon as Lin Wu spoke the notification sound appeared once again.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: The host has given a designation to their species. The Host data will now be updated.
—————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu was actually unable to think of any impressive sounding name for his species, thus he decided to go along with his physical appearance. He himself had crimson red eyes and an emerald green body, thus it just seemed obvious to name himself that.
"While it may not be too overbearing, at least it sounds good enough." Lin Wu assured to himself.
'Now then, what am I supposed to do now?' Lin Wu thought and curled back into a thinking posture.
Now that he had completed the main quest, which was to reach the qi refining realm, he wondered if he would get any more quests. But even after waiting for it, he didn't receive it. The main quest that he had received was rather stressful as it was a question of life and death, thus it seemed to be more urgent.
But now that his life span had reached a hundred and fifty years, Lin Wu discovered that he felt a little lost. He realized that he had no goal in life now, and he needed one.
"What was it that I wanted to do in the previous life? I remember wanting to play video games all the time, wanting to eat all the amazing food I saw on the television and on social media. Oh! and how could I forget, I also had an immense love for the 'Elixir' energy drinks?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
'Hmm, I can't seem to decide on anything. What do the protagonists of cultivation novels do when they arrive there? Become immortal, I guess, oh and get jade beauties. Jade beauties are important, of course.' Lin Wu thought to himself.

But after having these thoughts, Lin Wu looked at himself once again. All he had right now was a worm's body that looked a little beautiful as it was crystalline.
'There's no way I can get any Jade beauties this way. Neither can I have the delicious food from this world as that would involve going to the human settlements, and I think it will be pretty suspicious if a Green Crystal worm like me swaggered in. I would definitely get captured or worse… killed.'
'As for the 'Elixir' energy drinks, I definitely don't think I will find them here. And even if there is something similar here, it would not be the same if it does not have the same amazing taste that gave you a euphoric rush.' Lin Wu thought with a little obsessive expression.
Unknown to him, he had actually started drooling as he thought of the 'Elixir' energy drink series. He then suddenly snapped out of his thoughts and realized what he did.
"Why am I reacting like this again? Seems like I really need to wait for my soul to stabilize or I'll return to my previous childish ways." Lin Wu stated to himself.
"Bah! I'll just ask the system what I should do." Lin Wu decided.
"System, what should I do next? Or what is the next quest?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: The system only assigns quest when something of importance or beneficial to the host appears. The host can only wait and explore in order to trigger some quests. As for the host's first inquiry about what to do, the host can increase his cultivation base first.
Accordant to the system's data banks, the main goal of every cultivator should be to increase their cultivation level. Thus the system recommends that the host should utilize the spirit qi in the storage and upgrade their cultivation base.

—————————————————————————————————
After looking at the suggestion of the system, Lin Wu found it to be reasonable. After all, even he knew from his experience of the countless cultivation novels that the main goal of every protagonist was to become immortal and strong.
"Alright system, use the stored spirit qi and upgrade my cultivation base to the next level." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: Upgrading the host's cultivation base to the next stage.
ANALYZING VITALS: Host vitals are stable, tranquilization is not needed.
—————————————————————————————————
Lin Wu felt a little surprised that he did not need to be tranquilized now. Every time he had upgraded his cultivation level before, he had been tranquilized by the system. But now it seemed to be unnecessary.
"Well, that's an improvement at least." Lin Wu muttered to himself and then went silent as he felt the change.
A wave of energy was spreading in his body, and it seemed to glow for a moment. The underground lake was once again filled with a green glow that spread out from the opening at the top. Though unlike before, the green light was not as strong and faded away after a couple of seconds.
Lin Wu could now sense another change. He could feel as if there was a strange stream of energy filling his body. The energy seemed to have appeared out of nothing and was filling incorporeal looking veins that he could only think were meridians.
The energy that was filling him was formless and colorless, yet the feeling of comfort that accompanied it was rather pleasant to him. He felt as if he was taking a soak in a hot spring or as if he was getting an amazing massage by a jade beauty.
The feeling finally passed away after a few seconds, and Lin Wu opened his eyes. The notification sound finally rang in his mind and the new screen appeared.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
UPGRADE COMPETED: The host had successfully reached the next cultivation stage. Please check the host data for more information.

'That was pretty quick, I thought it would take much longer than this.' Lin Wu thought, feeling a bit surprised.

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)

Unlimited Potential
While walking into the kitchen on the evening of his eighteenth birthday, Jamie finds himself in a forest on the world of Alzradis. It's a world with status screens and Classes, and he's only begun looking through them when someone approaches him. Adam is a rather attractive Demihuman of the draconic variant, and he's on his way to a nearby town to go through its Dungeon for Experience. He invites Jamie along and introduces him to how the System works, revealing that being summoned randomly isn't uncommon. Jamie finds the idea of getting to be a wizard a dream come true, and the fact that he has a special bonus that will help him become powerful faster than normal in a world where gaining Skills isn't easy only makes things better. He quite literally has unlimited potential, it's a better world than the life he had on Earth, and he did meet an attractive guy within a minute of arriving. Why would he want to leave? Harem Tag: There will be a harem for sure, I just don't know how many guys will be in nor what species of person any other than two will be. Slice-of-Life and Adventure: this story will have periods of slice-of-life and periods of adventure, so it's technically fitting into both genres. Expect some faster adventure scenes, and slower slice-of-life scenes all mixed in. Posting Schedule: -on hiatus until I figure out this scene-

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.3
They say third times the charm. With every iteration we improve. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.
