Inhuman Warlock Chapter 76
Advertisement
"His skin is too hard! I need to attack the weaknesses! Raston! Analyze the Armored Gorillas and tell me the weakest part of their body!" Saele called out as he looked back towards one of his men.
The blue-haired Sorcerer called Raston was a Warlock who had two powers. One of which happened to be the B-Rank physical ability that temporarily enhanced his eyes, making them capable of seeing the weakest part of the opponent's body.
If he only had that power, he would be a warrior Variant; however, the presence of his B-Rank elemental power of confusion made him a Warlock Variant.
His elemental power made him capable of confusing the enemy into attacking their friends. It was an overpowered ability that would have made him a mighty warlock; however, it came with a powerful limitation as well, making it so that his ability could only be used once every minute and its effects only lasted for a second, which was not enough for the enemy to attack another enemy.
Even though it was limited, making its best use impossible, it was still enough for saving lives by confusing the enemies for a second.
Raston looked towards the Armored Gorilla, who was raising his right leg above the ground. His eyes changed color and turned green as he observed the beast.
"Aim for the spot just under his chin!" Raston told Saele, who seemed to understand what Raston meant.
"So the top of his neck is the least secure!" Saele lamented as he gazed at the neck of the Giant Gorilla, aiming.
He was just about to shoot out when the Giant Armored Gorilla finally smashed its right foot on the ground.
As soon as his feet landed on the ground, the entire ground within a range of five hundred meters started shaking.

....
Lucifer was lying on the ground. He had crashed from the height after being injured by the Chimera Eagles. He happened to land in the middle of the bodies of the beasts that he had killed.
The rest of the beasts started getting closer to him.
The first Dungeon Dweller to get close to Lucifer happened to be the tree Monster. The seven-foot-tall Monster reached out its wooden trunk-like hand towards Lucifer, which wrapped around his feet.
Vines started coming out of the hands of the Tree Monsters, who were holding Lucifer's legs.
The vines wrapped around Lucifer's feet and continued spreading out, covering more and more of his body.
Small micro-sized spikes started coming out of the Vines that penetrated Lucifer's skin and started sucking his blood like it was thirsty for his blood for eternity.
Lucifer was still healing. He could move. However, he decided against it, letting his body heal, but as he felt the wines sucking his blood, he struggled to sit up.
Pushing his body upwards, he sat without touching the ground.
His body still had see-through holes all around it. His face had also gone pale, but he didn't cry in pain.
Weakly, he reached out his right hand and placed it around the vine that had wrapped around his legs.
"You want to make me your food? Let me do the same! Come, become my strength," Lucifer declared weakly as he was finding it painful to speak.
As his fingers touched the vines of the Tree Monster, the Tree Monster roared in pain as if it was dying.
Its wines had become pale yellow from green. The small needles that were inside the body of Lucifer also started dying down, turning into nutrition for Lucifer.
Watching the tree monster disintegrate, a smile formed on Lucifer's face.

"I was right. This Decay helps me!" Lucifer muttered, seeing his wounds healing even faster now.
The other Dungeon dwellers heard the screech of the Tree Monster, who had turned to dust that flew away.
The Monsters started getting restless after seeing such a painful death, but most of them had low intellect, which made them unable to understand that what they were feeling was called fear… fear of death.
In this restless feeling, one of the monsters started flying straight towards Lucifer.
The Monster was a Three-Orbed Monster that had three orbs stuck together. It didn't have a face or mouth, so it wasn't easy to understand how he saw and heard things; Lucifer didn't care.
Reaching out his hand, Lucifer decided to disintegrate the Orb Monster to help his healing; however, he soon realized how wrong he was. He hadn't counted for the strange ability of the Three-orbed Monster.
As soon as the Three-orbed Monster touched Lucifer's hand, a fiery explosion took place. Before Lucifer could understand anything, he was caught in the blast.
His face and skin burned in the fiery explosion of the flames while his body was tossed back. The impact was so powerful; it threw Lucifer a hundred meters back. Even though it injured him, it also helped him get out from the crowd of beasts as he crashed outside the crowd.
"Ahh," Lucifer sat up as he held his chest.
His hair was again burnt along with his face; however, he was still able to see. His body was also seriously burnt.
His clothes were already ruined in blood and holes, but now they were in even worse condition because of the flames.
Looking towards the flames, he saw the Orb Monster again appearing; however, the Orb Monster that had clashed with him had two orbs now instead of the three he did before.
....
"Hah, that idiot allowed the orb Monster to touch him! This stupid don't even know about one of the most dangerous Monsters in a level one dungeon. Even newbie dungeon hunters are taught about this Monster as the first thing!"
" That kid didn't even know that each of its heads is like a bomb that explodes at a touch. The three orbs stuck together are like three bombs that can cause three explosions, each at a touch," the Red Guild Member, Conner, who was standing in the back watching Lucifer, lamented as he shook his head as if he was embarrassed by Lucifer's lack of knowledge.
Since his only ability was to establish Mind Sync between all Red Guild Members present there, he wasn't fighting. He didn't have the ability either. Instead, he was watching both the fights going on.
That's when the Armored Gorilla's feet smashed on the ground, bringing what seemed like an earthquake within a specific range.
The earthquake made the Red Guild members lose their balance. Even half the dungeon monsters were affected by the earthquake. Saele, who had just found out the Armored Gorilla's weakness, was about to fire his Water Bullets to kill the Armored Gorilla when he lost his balance.
His aim was disturbed, and the barrage of bullets that were about to hit the Armored Gorilla struck the Skeleton soldiers, destroying their bodies.
After regaining his balance, he again decided to aim; however, it seemed too late.
The Armored Gorilla was too close to him, and his fist was coming towards Saele's face to crush him.
Finding it too late, Saele closed his eyes as if giving up. The death he was expecting didn't come, though.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Economicalopoly
Humanity had gotten this far. How far, might you be wondering? Quite far indeed. The world had effectively become an ecumenopolis, almost; not in real life at least, in Economicalopoly of course! More on that later, in our story the main character is Charlie. Charlie was an exceptionally talented young man, the key word being 'was'. He was an incredibly unmotivated individual who generally steered clear from other 'Homo sapiens' as he put it. This was all because of an accident he had early on in life, when he was but 15 years old.
