Once Human, Now A Parasite Chapter 616
Advertisement
The last ten floors are supposed to take significantly more time to clear, the tasks were very difficult and demanded the contestants to go all out lest they want to die or get disqualified. Slowly but surely, each person started showing their trump cards and trying to reach the top floor first.
*Contestant 'X' was teleported to the 43th floor using the Golden Frog.*
The Luxury store had an item called the Golden Frog which allowed the user to jump to a higher floor but it only worked from the first floor to the 45th, moreover, its price was exorbitant so with the exception of 'X', no one wanted to waste their precious points to buy it.
Although he had an advantage over the rest, that doesn't mean he's going to hold that first stop forever as Zodiak was finally showing his true colors. The old man started hindering the annoying contestants and almost killed the lightning spirit, Raad.
Right after they took the test on the 40th floor, the 21 individuals were taken to the next floor, which was some sort of a battle royal against unknown enemies that were extremely strong. The goal was to take down ten target without any help but Arthur was unlucky enough to encounter a group of robots that belonged to the System. They were a realistic imitation created by the tower and their power was nothing to scoff at.
The parasite was seriously injured and had to flee for his life for the first time since his entering this ginormous structure. Were it not for the White Tiger's instant recovery spell and its golden barrier, he would have been forced to use the Escape Ticket.
With the disappearance of the Waiting Room, it became a race where only the faster contestant will receive the generous rewards that await them at the top. Both the Joker and Leiu were also on the 50th floor, patiently waiting for the final show to begin.
Arthur believed in his brother's strength, however, he still worried about his brother, who is a quiet but loving person. Zodiak and Forne definitely had something that could awaken the Nameless Knight, such as Sol'khin's cane, which will be playing a big role in capturing the evil within the youth.
"Master, are you really going to fight them?"

The Quad-spirit asked the meditating parasite, who opened his eyes, sighed, and said:
'I just want to stop them. I don't care about Sol'khin but if they're planning to take down Leiu with him then I won't sit still. I don't think the Joker will watch either.'

"Tsk! What an annoying brat!"
Xyktia's clicked her tongue and pulled the air, causing an unstoppable energy to grab hold of Ar'wen legs and flip him outside down. The elf retaliated correspondingly and fired three arrows after freeing himself using a black dagger which cut through the formless energy of the Lady of Darkness.
The arrows flew in a line, each one shattering one layer of the woman's defense. The last one hit her hand, ripping a hole through it and causing a lot of blood to gush out. The assassin snorted and activated her stealth, turning invisible, her unseen figure appeared next to the archer in a split second.
Unfortunately, before she could attack him, someone interfered and attack them both with the user of a highly destructive assault. He was a man that had scissor like arms and feet, his body was made of a metal and his eyes shone with an orange light, his name was Sickle Bart one of the top 21 contestants.
Countless razor-sharp small metal pieces cascaded on Ar'wen and Xyktia, dealing considerable damage but it wasn't enough to push them out of the moving thing everyone was currently on.
Around 15 contestants were now on the 45th floor, which was actually a massive moving train and the task was simple. They had to safely reach the destination without getting pushed off the train, which was separated into six large carriages. Fighting wasn't prohibited and, instead, encouraged, as the Red Tower wanted to decrease their number so that only 10 will reach the 50th floor but from how things were proceeding, it seemed rather unlikely for only 10 to arrive at the peak.
'X' was still in the lead, struggling alone on the 46th floor, which demanded cooperation. The remaining 5 contestants were still on the 44th floor, which was a world of cards and the contestants had to battle each other using cards that had their skill engraved on them. Some battles took seconds while others took hours, it only depended on the users.

…
"Ha!"
Sickle Bart performed a deadly dance that emitted violent gales which forced both Ar'wen and Xyktia to retreat. He jumped on the black-haired woman, who stopped his sharp metal legs using a short black sword that she pulled from nowhere. As the two were busy clashing, Ar'wen retreated to a safe position then shot a big arrow of light that engulfed his two target, sending them all the way to the other carriage.
Each time he damages another contestant, he'll obtain points based on how many injuries his target suffered. His last arrow netted him a whopping 5 million points, which is enough to find quite a few miraculous items.
The elf turned around and was about to head to another carriage only for his legs to be frozen. His reaction was a second too late as a fast white shadow came from the side and kicked his abdomen, flinging him in the air.
He tightly held his bow and shot an arrow in the sky, which transformed into countless arrows of light that descended upon the assailant. Unfortunately, the arrows were stopped by a beautiful blooming ice lotus that was big enough to cover a third of the carriage they were on.
Lucy glanced around, making sure no one was present before attacking the archer again. She had no enmity against him but they were competing against each other so there was no reason not to attack a target when an opportunity arises. Arthur warned her about the people she should be wary off, nevertheless, she was strong enough to defend against anyone.
Nine lotuses danced around the White Specter, who grew an illusory whitetail and two horns that were actually beautiful to see. Two arrows that were fired god-knows-when, managed to bypass the ice lotuses and hit her but were split in half by an ear-piercing cry that she released.
Still in the specter form, Lucy flew at the incoming Ar'wen, her hand holding a fully-loaded silver revolver. She fired three times at the elf, who blocked her bullet using metallic arrows that were stronger and faster, surprisingly.
Usually, a gun is faster than a bow but it wasn't the case this time, sadly. Four of Lucy's lotuses were destroyed after blocking the metallic arrows, the other five shone with a white light then slowly bloomed, freezing the air and the ground, even the movement of the train slightly decreased.
[Absolute Zero]!
For a few moments, the whole world was frozen and the rapidly moving elf turned into a block of ice, no longer able to move or shoot arrows. Lucy's right arm became a bit bigger and covered in red scales, it released a lot of steam as it sucked all the energy in the air.
By the time Ar'wen broke free, Lucy appeared before him and attacked with the Devil's arm. She used the overgrown claws to slash at the target, sending him flying like a kite, leaving a trail of blood behind.
Just by that one strike, the elf looked very miserable as he covered the terrifying injury on his chest. He threw two pills in his mouth then swiftly retreated from the carriage but right before he disappeared from Lucy's sight, his back was shot by a dark bullet.
He was sure he was going to dodge it but his movement were slowed hence the result. Lucy's skills were efficient as they focused on slowing down the target, after all, she could freeze them or stop time, which is why her victory was guaranteed against Ar'wen, then again, it was all thanks to her surprise attack at the beginning.
…
On the 6th carriage, Arthur was fighting toe to toe with Amtir, also known as, King of Jade and ruler of the Jade Realm. More than his strength, this person is known for his wealth, which he accumulated for generations. Amtir an Exalted God that had the appearance of a middle-aged man despite his old age, he likes to flaunt his money and is not afraid to use it to get rid of any arising troubles.
This time around, it wasn't Arthur who was randomly attacked but his enemy, Amtir. It was a good opportunity for the parasite to gain points and if he manages to take down the king, he'll obtain all of his points but it was rather unlikely to defeat him now as there are many prying eyes, one of them being the annoying Losha, who's standing in the corner, her arms crossed while she calmly watched the two fight.

Starlight Antiquities
There is a place in the galaxy that deals in antiquities of all kinds, human and non-human alike. Its inventory of artifacts is colossal as is its inventory of mercs who they hire to acquire any artifact a client may wish that is yet to come into their possession. The ill-reputable business is constantly rubbing against the changing tolerance of the Union's government, and there are many security officers who would love nothing better than to vaporize the whole place with its owners inside. Yet, there are many tasks that nobody can do better, especially in the vastness of deep space where Union law is worth less than the energy needed to display it. One of its jobs involves finding an artifact that may not only hold the future of the human race but may also disturb the balance of the whole galaxy. *** While waiting for the next season of Mandalorian and the Witcher, and rewatching Firefly for the gazillionth of time, I decided to write this space-based series. The series has some litRPG elements in it, but it does not read like one. So, you won't run into any blue screens here. Yet, I wanted to use litRPG to give another dimension to this whole story and make it as unique as possible. This is a work-in-progress. Hope to keep on improving and fixing my mistakes as I go along.

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
