Draconics
The Draconic family has a wide variation of specimens. We can count in here: Drakes, Wyvers, Wyrms, Amphipteres, Dragons and many more.
Most of them are beasts, with no intelligence nor inborn magical powers (may vary depending on different circumstances like age or high mana density of their living arena), while Dragons cause trouble with their classification, for we may separate them into stray dragons (Draconis vulgaris) and high dragons. As stray dragons are not much different from their Draconics cousins from the view point of their intelligence, the high dragons cannot be fully included into Beasts.
Draconics are reptiles, usually loners until mating season. Covered in extremely durable scales, very often naturally enchanted with magic resistance. Armored in powerful, sharp, bird-like talons, very often venomous and poisonous.
High Dragons are creatures intelligent and fully self-aware, always holding inborn magic, using their own language and even having their own primitive society with hierarchy with Dragon King on top of it.
In terms of their intelligence it is enough to say, that sometimes they may communicate with other intelligent races (humans, dwarves, elves, demon et cetera) via telepathy or in extremely rare cases they may use their other languages.
There are numerous cases of high dragons “falling on love” with other races. This was also a foundation of creating a legends and fairy tales about dragons kidnapping princesses.
From mating of dragon and other races (such as humans, dwarves…) a woman would give a birth to a human (usually with higher magical predispositions), lay an egg (usually it ends with female death) or give a birth to a half-breed (extremely rare cases. Superior in strength, yet for unknown reasons often have troubles with controlling magical powers).
Dragons (stray) are usually aggressive creatures that would kill everything that enters his territory, while Dragons (high) are usually neutral and are ignoring every other race up until provoked.

Draconics, because of their diversity, cannot be ranked as one specimen.
For purposes of ranking their powers the following ranks were given
Drakes – rank may vary on specimen. The “weakest” founded specimen was ranked as C. The strongest A (party). Wyverns - C (party) or B+ (weakest); A++ (party) (strongest) Wyrms – D (weakest); A- (party) (strongest) Amphipteres B+ (RAID) (only one specimen recorded) Dragons (Stray) – depending on age from D (party) (weakest – youngling) Dragons (High) – from A+ (party) up to Sigma (RAID) rank
Even as high Dragons shouldn’t be dealt by a person (human) alone, there was a case when a single human has killed a powerful High Dragon holding a Lord title. The man was the holder of most powerful human title – Jeremy Aloizi Jericho.
Raid (suggested number of adventures of the following rank should EXCEED 25 members)

Bitter
The story of a girl who finds her life is not what she wanted. So she gets another one. Schedule: Story has been completed. Book One is available free on Amazon and EPUB. Books Two to Five are out now. Final Book out soon. Chapters will be around 500-1000 words. This will not change so if you don't like reading very short chapters wait till the end of the week or even end of the month. This many chapters a week isn't easy to pull off so please bear that in mind. This is a VRMMORPG story, but the ones I've read tend to use VR as an excuse to get into a fantasy world and then don't really play up the game aspect other than pulling up a status screen every now and then. To me, MMOs are about more than the fantasy setting. Bugs, exploits, devs who don't understand their own game, OP classes, over the top nerfs, p2w, ridiculous RNG, cash shop fiasco, lockboxes, raging players, broken mechanics, limited bag space, tedious crafting and above all that, a company trying to squeeze money out if its playerbase while pretending they're just in the business of having fun. Of course, then there's the orcs and elves. This story is about finding yourself in a completely immersive fantasy game, but it's also about what a game like that would really be like.

The Collected Short Stories of Necrontyr525
Hey all, Necrontyr525 here! Rather then drown you all in a flood of one- to three-chapter mini-fics, I've decided to put out all of my short stories in an 'omnibus' format, sorted by series and by release date. These stories span my entire progress as a writer-for-fun over the past three plus years, with the corisponding variance in length, subject matter, and quality. Each chapter will get an Author's Note as a sort of forwards. Not nessisarily as a summary, but more to give you all some context for where each short came from, as well as any chapter-spicific trigger warnings. I can't think of any off of the top of my head, but better safe then sour.Comments, reviews, and constuctive criticizm is welcome, but please do recall that these works collectivly represent a great deal of my growth as a writer.Cover by the wonderful gej302! Go and show them some love!
