《Eater》CH 15: Fur coat
Advertisement
With the bear now dead, Kenta takes a deep breath and regains his composure. Slowly walking on the edge of the cliff, Kenta makes his way around and reaches the bear. Pulling out one of the swords, Kenta bends over and begins cutting some meat off.
*Chomp*
Biting into the tough meat of the bear ripping it to shreds, chewing he finally swallows it.
*Ding*

Skill gained.
Fur Coat: The cold temperature will no longer have an effect on you (down to -15 °C).
Minor Ground Stomp: With the weight of a bear, you may now shake the earth causing smaller creatures to lose balance (5-foot radius). +10 STR
Bear Bite: Bite with the power of a bear. Increases bite force by 25x.
Intimidation: With the words of a bear, you may strike fear into your enemies’ heart.
---
Holy shit! I mean sorry for killing you bear, but thanks for the skills.
After cleanly slicing the bears meat and skinning it for its warm fur, Kenta puts it in the storage dimension. Next to the bear, lying on the ground is 5 silver. Taking it, Kenta leaves.
…
After 10 minutes of walking, Kenta arrived back at the original fishing spot, opposite the ancient tree. With the time that has passed, Kenta has recovered from the injuries. Apart from the torn clothes and blood stains, anyone looking at Kenta would be none the wiser.
Taking his shirt off, Kenta begins washing it down, removing the blood stains.
“Oh, I nearly forgot!” Kenta says out loud.
Withdrawing the equipment from his storage dimension, Kenta picks up the sword with the teeth marks, and takes a bite. This time however, Kenta rips the metal to shreds. Chewing it down in to manageable sizes, Kenta swallows it.
All the sword eater magicians out there would hate me if they knew what I could do.

Skill gained.
Sword Mastery: With a lifetime of training, experts manage to reach complete sword mastery. You are now among those experts. +15 STR, +15 DEX
---
Kenta picking up another sword, starts swinging it around, fighting invisible enemies. The sword mastery evidently shows itself as Kenta practices.
Now this is something I can get use to!
Remembering from when he ate the fish a second time, Kenta picks up one of the scimitars and starts munching on it, as if it’s some snack.
…
Nothing.
Maybe it doesn’t work with everything, I’ll eat a few more, but I want to keep at least one sword.
Eating the other scimitar, Kenta again receives nothing. Moving on, Kenta eats one of the three remaining swords… nothing happens.
Damn, I don’t want have to eat all the swords. Please let me gain a skill now.
Kenta bites down on another sword and finishes it up quickly. There is only one sword remaining now.
…
*Ding*

Skill gained.
1st Degree of Swordforce: By combing your intent with the force of the sword, you are now able to produce the same amount of force, creating a precise wind strike, outside of your sword (The more intent and the more power the further it will travel). +5 WIS
---
After practicing with the sword some more, Kenta can feel he is more fluid in his movements.
Alright, time to test out this swordforce.
Aiming at some leaves on a nearby tree, Kenta putting his intent behind the sword, swings forth, and out comes a blast of air, heading straight for the leaves. It was a clean cut.
Neat. Alright, let’s see how far it can go.
Yet again, Kenta swings forth his sword, this time with all the intent and power he can put behind it.

*Woosh*
A line of air goes flying, cutting through the leaves and then some more, reaching a max distance of about 10 feet.
Falling to a knee, Kenta is completely exhausted from that one attack.
Sweet, that got some distance. Although not practical in a fight, even half the distance would be useful.
Standing back on two feet, it’s now time for the armour. Beginning with the chest plate with a tear on its backside, Kenta with more force, bites through the thicker, tougher metal.
*Ding*
---
Skill gained.
Iron Defence: With the protective properties of iron, you are now able to absorb more damage. +50 DEF
---
Eating the rest of the chest plates and helmets, they provided no further gain.
Okay, last item before I should head back.
Apart from a sword, the only remaining piece of equipment is Kabuki’s gauntlets.
These fuckers were tough.
Bring them closer to his mouth, Kenta bites down. Indeed, the gauntlets are tough, but with the increase bite force, they are no match. Chewing and swallowing, the bits of metal fall down his throat.
*Ding*
---
Skill gained.
Steel Fist: With the power of a steel hammer, you can now punch with immense force, crushing anything in your way. +20 strength to offensive actions involving your hands

Ocean Attuned - A timeloop LitRPG
In the mids of industrialization, Liana, a girl of almost twelve, awakens her flow and follows her newly awakened calling, the ocean, and thus the path of the last remaining god. With the advent of industry, one's status and the accompanying skills slowly grow to be secondary as people choose more recreational skills and classes. The clear exception are flow bringers. Humans with an increased affinity towards flow and attunements are the only real remnants of the age of gods and mysticism. Terrors on the battlefield, saints in hospitals, saviours during drought, are just some examples of the wonderous abilities they display. As civilization grows less dangerous so does the stress that is often associated with the awakening of the flow reduce and only the real talents remain. Please be aware that this is a first draft at best. Tag/Genre analysis: Action: A theme that will appear in the story at some point (probably 15+ chapters in) Adventure: Yes Fantasy: Yes Magic, Beasts, and other fantastical elements are totally at home here. Tragedy: Life is not always fun. For what is fun when there are no downsides. I don't know how heavily I am going to lean into this genre. I want to but don't expect too much. Loop: Yes, though I will not divulge anything else. Just be aware that there isn't nearly as much looping as in MoL for example. Female Lead: Yes, Liana is female. Dungeon: Yes, there are dungeons. Yes, they will get explored. LitRPG: Yes, read the first chapter if you want an example. Magic: most definitely because who doesn't like calling lighting down from the heavens. (Disclaimer: No actual lightning will be called down from the heavens) Mythos: There are gods. So maybe, I don't know if that is enough to qualify? Progression: yes Slice of Life: There is plot, and the story will mostly be about that plot, but there will also be downtime because there can't always be action. The first "loop" especially the first 20-30 chapters will be heavily SoL. And afterward there will be a lot less. Profanity: The ocean (see title) includes sailors and we all know how the stereotypical sailor is. Gore: Hmmm, some but I will have it be not graphic at all.

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.
