Born of mana flowing through a dark world’s molten core
This creature is more devastating than a simple war
Normal water cannot stop the fire this golem spreads
They live in lava and use active volcanoes as beds
Several massive golems stepped out of the portals first
Bring forth a fire that burned so hot that it seemed cursed
The grassy hill was razed and all the rocks began to melt
But more monsters soon joined the raging fire that Sting now felt

This creature never goes alone, it travels in a swarm
When they approach, even in dead of winter, you’ll feel warm
They live in magma fields and travel far to hunt their prey
Consuming hordes of monsters and burning the bones away
Suddenly Sting was surrounded by a swarm of foes
And for a moment cursed the peaceful hilltop tree he chose
It looked like such a nice place to relax when he first came
But soon it would be eaten up by monsters and their flame
He couldn’t make opening no matter where he flew
As the flames expanded the number of foes did too
Chasing after him were Fire Bats like a cloud of smoke
The wall of flames closed in on Sting as he began to choke
He couldn’t hope to penetrate the golems of magma
And trying to go through the flames was a bad idea
The ground itself was turning into great sea of fire

And soon his resistance to heat was going to expire
Achievement: Sting!
I’ll give you all the stats I can but I don’t have a plan!
Keep running and stay alive for as long as you can
Maybe some of the fires will burn out before too long
But I have never seen so many fire golems so strong
Sting could fly much faster with the blessings he received
But there was still nowhere to run or plans to be conceived
He dodged the Fire Bats left and right with great skill and finesse
But now the heat was truly causing the bee great distress
~ Name: Sting ~
Title: Lightning Bug
Class: Beloved Bee [lv1⇨ 45]

You really do have quite the constitution, little Sting
I can keep buff your stats without much worrying
You’ve earned a Title and a Class Change, it’s all I can do
Please don’t let this portal nonsense be the end of you!
His body felt so strange as his new status took effect
He wondered how he’d become something a god would protect
But as his new class levelled up much faster than it should
Although he was fatigued, he started feeling pretty good
He zipped around too fast for the Fire Bats to track his flight
But in the heat he still had no room to resist or fight
The wall of fire and massive golems closed in all around
The flames burning intensely with an overwhelming sound
The portals themselves were the only things still not burning
The sky was set ablaze while magma below was churning
In the end he thought of only one way to get out
And laid his eyes upon a portal which filled him with doubt

All he wanted was to live a peaceful life and eat
Even now he tasted the bread he’d found on that street
And as he flew through that big portal to escape the fire
He shed a tear and vowed one day he’d fulfil that desire
He dodged another swarm of monsters as they exited
A monster going the wrong way was quite unexpected
Some burned up when they came out and found the hill ablaze
But the lava-loving monsters came rushing out in a craze
The last thing that he saw of the world as he passed on through
Was a wyvern feasting on a fiery bat or two
The cool and weird sensation of the portal brought relief
His wings had become dryer than a fallen autumn leaf
Achievement: Be Careful!
Why didn’t I think of that, the exit was right there!
But those unstable portals could lead you anywhere
I’ve never observed that realm, only the dark gods do
But I’ll do my best to keep a careful eye on you
Sting wondered if he’d wind up in the place that he was from
It was far from a nice place, but safer still than some
He may have missed his birthplace more than he had realized
But when he crossed through, what he saw left him more than surprised

Trickster's Tale
Be careful when demanding reparations from gods. They rarely own up to their mistakes. Due to a goddess's shortsighted error, Perry finds himself transported to a distant Universe with new proportions and a different identity. Instead of cowering before the deity, he demands she opens a portal home or provides reparations for him and his bereaved family. Unfortunately, standing up for himself doesn't earn Perry respect. Instead, she curses him with cowardice, limiting his combat and magical potential. Little does the goddess know that nothing can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane might won't get him the justice he desires, wit and creativity will. Perry's first target? A goblin shaman. Then, the world. And so begins, the bard's ballad. Trickster's Tale (Book 1): Is That A Lute In Your Pocket will release on Kindle Unlimited on the 10th of May.Due to KU's exclusivity rules, I've had to take most of book 1 down.Book 1 Bard's Ballad takes place in the same extended Universe as my other story, The Houndsman. It's set on a distant 'disk', though. As a result, the magic system is unique in comparison and has a harder LitRPG system. While the story utilises stats, it doesn't take them seriously and occasionally makes fun of regular LitRPG mechanics.
