You really are the finest little bug I’ve ever known
I dare say, you could take on a dragon on your own
Well, perhaps a wyvern or two, but in time you’ll grow
There sure are a lot of portals opening now though
Sting flew through the sky avoiding monsters left and right
Some of them were weak but there were none he’d like to fight
Most of them ignored him, but because he was so small
He knew he’d wind up someone’s snack if he slowed down at all
Achievement: New Skills
You should have no problem using skills now by the way
Just like any mortal, you can train them every day
Some titles and classes will make them more powerful
But whatever class you are, I think you’re wonderful
Sting had noticed something different about his new mind
Some unknown ability or power of some kind
And when he tried to use a ‘skill’ just to see what it means
He was suddenly aware of several status screens

A flying portal monster that can shock its chosen prey
Descending like a bolt of lightning any time of day
They are known to prey on creatures fifty times their size
You should find shelter if you notice you’ve caught its eyes
From beyond that blue screen came a sound that deafened Sting
A lightning bolt the shape of a bird was fast approaching

He didn’t have time to evade his Portal Monster friend
So his only option was to struggle and defend
He realized he didn’t have the time to spin around
Judging by the speed of the monster that made that sound
But now he somehow knew of an attack he’d never used
Even as he cast the spell himself, he was confused
In front of Sting appeared a shining ball of raw mana
Which morphed and transformed quickly into Sting’s first idea
A stinger just like he had took shape before his own eyes
Then it flew toward the hawk which recoiled in surprise
The projectile stinger he’d made with magic quickly flew
He hoped it would reach his foe and his aim was straight and true
The stinger pierced the Lightning Hawk while Sting flew to the side
His enemy let out a cry and very quickly died

I’d almost forgotten you can absorb mana too!
There’s a lot of Heroes who would be jealous of you
Even without my help, you could become much stronger
Though if not for my blessings, it would take much longer
Sting could feel his mana increase ever so slightly
As he’d experienced many times, but differently
Now he clearly felt the level added to his speed
And it was an exhilarating feeling indeed
He put his newly increased speed to work without delay
But before long another monster tried to block his way
He tried to go around but it hungrily chased Sting
This time it was easy to guess what it was thinking

This Wyvern was born somewhere affected by chaos
Such mana is not gained without suffering great loss
This one seems to have suffered in order to survive
Enduring a birth place where chaos and destruction thrive
The wyvern targeted Sting with its fiery attacks
The small bug didn’t have a single moment to relax
But Sting felt confident that there was something he could do
He searched himself for one more skill and right away he knew
He channelled mana to his little wings and flapped them quick
Creating a gale while the flames continued to lick
The wyvern’s fire no longer posed a threat to Sting at all
And as the wind reached the wyvern it soon began to fall
Unable to move through the air which flowed as Sting now willed
The wyvern roared at the bug which he should have quickly killed
But as it flailed and coughed up flames, Sting didn’t wait around
Sting attacked and it was dead before it hit the ground
Achievement: Natural Talent
Using only mana to pierce a strong wyvern’s hide
Your natural talent has left this old god mystified
I overheard some gods talking about the world ending
But I think that you’ll be fine, the way you’re ascending

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

The Summoned - Complete
In a world of magic, ruled by many warring races, the human kingdoms are being pushed to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to gain the strength to stand on an equal footing with the other nations, they perform a forbidden ritual to summon combat slaves from another dimension. Unluckily for them, Mors Letus, recently named by their world's God of Death, was one of them. **** Warning **** This is a re-release (The Summoned) of the first book I wrote in partnership with my brother (who later forced the story to be pulled (It was released on his account here)). I have started writing my own version of the story (BOM: The Summoned) and will continue to primarily invest in that, though, now I have permission to re-release this one, I plan finish this as I have the drafts and it was close to the end of the first book. Many characters/scenes and events match/Will match BOM: The Summoned, especially in future arc's (Past Flatner forest). If you don't like spoilers, don't want to get confused between the two stories or hate first attempts at writing (god awful grammar/sentence structure and storytelling), I would advise against reading.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
