《The Abyss That Stares》Interlude: No-name's current progress
Advertisement
No-name's current Core abilities: Analyzation and adoption, shapeshifting and major regeneration, psionic link and assault, minor telekinesis, invisibility, minor osteokinesis,electrokinesis, electroreception, space warping (minor teleportation), minor clairvoyance.
As a note, all Core abilities require the use of Core energy. While at this point in time we don't have a numeric value to measure No-name's current energy, it is six times larger than when we first observed him. Now, for what his abilities do.
Analyzation and adoption: Complete understanding of whatever organic material one consumes that has still retained its original structure, down to the cellular level, and the ability to incorporate and even improve on these designs. This means one can't gain anything from prepared food, as it is too far removed from the original design. Category 1 ability.
Shapeshifting and major regeneration: In addition to its Core ability cost, this ability requires a supply of readily available biomass. In the event that there is no excess biomass in the user's system, it will break down already existing biomass incorporated into designs to fuel regeneration and other shapeshifting. Category 1 ability.
Psionic link and assault: The most common category 2 Core ability, this allows one to establish a mental link with a target, or multiple targets. Through this mental link, the user can read passive, surface level thoughts, as well as communicate mentally with their target. They can also push strong sensations through the link in an assault on the mind, potentially debilitating their quarry as the sensations overwhelm their senses. Effectiveness depends on the user's own mental strength, Core energy, and ability to concentrate, versus a target's own rivaling strengths.
Minor telekinesis: A lesser version of telekineses that is limited influencing one's own body, or small objects. Category 3 ability.
Invisibility: Invisibility can belong to multiple categories. Its effect changes depending on whcih one it belongs to. A category 2 invisibility effect will alter another target's perception of the user. A category 3's ability relies on bending light around them, making them imperceptible to those who rely on visible light. A category 4's invisbility, however, is the most cost intensive one, as it completely removes the user from reality, making them imperceptible to all senses. No-name's invisibility falls under the category 4 variety.

Minor Osteokinesis: A lesser version of osteokinesis that is limited to influencing one's own bones, or smaller bones. Category 3 ability.
Electrokinesis: This allows the user to supercharge molecules around them, vibrating at a high frequency to produce lightning and control it. Category 3 ability.
Electroreception: Allows the user to sense the electric signals created by most living creatures with a brain. Category 2 ability.
Space Warping (Minor Teleportation): A lesser version of teleportation, this creates a tiny portal that only the user can utilize, and only with small portions of its body. This portal lasts less than a second, and keeping it open any longer costs exponentially more Core energy. Category 7 ability.
Minor Clairvoyance: No-name currently has no idea what this ability does, or how to utilize it.
No-name's current complete anatomies: Mutated canine (Wolf and Hound) anatomies, Mutated mustilidae (Honey Badger) anatomy, Mutated Homo (Human) anatomy, Mutated Sopho (Nuan) anatomy, Mutated cervidae (Elk) anatomy, Avian (Brown Thrasher and Vulture) anatomies, rodent (Porcupine) anatomy, and Mutated ursidae (Grizzly Bear) anatomy.
Standalone structures: Scything tentacles, tetrachromatic oscular system, acid glands, corrosive immunic flesh, acid secretion tract, and rigid armor.
No-name's current appearance: No-name currently resembles a thin, well-featured young human male with long, shaggy brown hair, brown wolf ears, and a bushy brown tail. His most notable features include longer claws at the end of his fingers and toes, and slightly luminous yellow eyes. Most people mistake these features as signs of mutation. He currently stands at 1.67 meters, and weighs 72 kilograms (5'4" and 158 lbs).
Current structures utilized by No-name: A full human anatomy, with an altered digestive and respiratory tract. A total of thirty six tentacles that rest in a tight ball in his lower back, just beneath the skin. These tentacles each hold various sensory organs inside of them, including eyes and auditory nerves, as well as a line of bone tracts that allow for easier production of serrated teeth to protrude when necessary, and the tips of each tentacle end in either a barbed talon, or a sharpened point.

Apocalypse King: Progression System LitRPG
Hail, Apocalypse King! A LitRPG where the MC fights the System Apocalypse Invaders with military training, dark magic, and a Humanity, Fuck Yeah attitude! Hounded by trauma from combat and his childhood upbringing, Sergeant DeSean Solomon left the U.S. Marines and attends college alone. While at a house party, the world as DeSean knows it ends. All of humanity receives a System notification. Do you wish to be saved from the taint of chaos? A countdown starts. Time is of the essence. To say yes will transform you into a monstrous zealot controlled by a genocidal eldritch invader. To say no is to be marked for the slaughter and forced into a high-stakes and vicious survival game. Even with the introduction of system progression stats, magical powers, and contracts with otherworldly creatures, all signs point toward the earth and its people getting subjugated. Or suffering a worse fate. Unless DeSean has a say in it. When the end of the world comes knocking, it's not a hero or someone with a special bloodline that rises to the occasion. It's a slightly demented Marine Veteran who storms the breach, summoning demons, evoking dark magic, and using all of his military skills and System Skills to bring down the enemy. Posts Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Please click below and enjoy!

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!

"In my defense, I hadn't actually been trying to get hit by a truck." Artemis wakes up alone in a giant futuristic facility with no hint of where she is, how she got here, or what this means. Yet within two weeks, she is shot at with all the guns, a voice is beginning to speak in her head, and she is tormented by a seemingly sentient and possibly trollish space Roomba. Her only hope is Scarlet, another girl who is a complete stranger and almost shot her in the head. Oh, and she has fox ears and a tail. That is possibly worth mentioning. Artemis is not a nerd. She has never heard of the isekai genre, she can't fight worth a damn, and the blue-collar skills she learned at her community college are absolutely useless in a universe where technology is often indistinguishable from magic. She only has one thing going for her: A mysterious ability to interface with highly advanced technology left behind by the Antecessors, the long lost precursor civilization with technology that no one has been able to adequately replicate. Finding herself in a universe where civilizations are locked in an interstellar Cold War, where societies are so stratified that the aristocracy commands fleets of starships while slaves wash clothes with their hands, Artemis decides to run away from it all. She has a ship. She'll find a crew. She'll find a way to make a living at the fringes of civilization, learn how to cope with danger, and survive the affections of a universe where everyone is a cute girl with animal ears and tails. Welcome to Intercessor. AKA Kemonomimi Yuri Space Fantasy. Commissioned by Shaderic. Please leave your sense of shame at the door.
