《Worlds Defenders》Chapter 015 - Power-up (1)
Advertisement
After settling the matter of him joining the UDA, Alex starts preparing for his return trip to the Realm of Defenders. He starts buying rations and pack some clothes in his backpack. After his preparation is done, he sits in front of his computer at home and opens up the UDA Member's Knowledge Base.
There really are a lot of information that wasn't divulged to the public. There are detailed explanation on almost every skill in the Realm of Defenders, their strength, weakness, the best way to use them, skill combinations. There isn't one about {Energy Manipulation} though, as expected. There are also detailed information about almost every item in the F-rank store. The section Alex is most interested in though is the Creatures section. There are information about the strength and weakness on every F-rank creatures. There are also tips on how to fight them.
After reading everything he needs, Alex shuts down his computer and starts sleeping. On the next day, June 24th, Alex reenters the Realm of Defenders.
....
Alex Volff appears in the bright room again. This is his personal space.
"Welcome back, Alex," Fay greets him.
"Hello, Fay," Alex replies.
"Do you want to start exploring immediately?" Fay asks Alex.
"No. I want to sort out some things first," Alex answers Fay's question.
Fay nods and let Alex does his thing. Alex then walks to his [Storage Box] to retrieve the items he left there before. He takes out the vial filled with blue liquid. He then walks up to the [Evolution Capsule] and inserts the {Evolution Potion} into the slot on the side of the capsule. Before walking into the capsule, Alex checks his basic stats one more time.

To his surprise, his Spirit has grown by one. He has never stopped training the {Energy Manipulation} skill, maybe that's why his Spirit grew. Alex then enters the capsule and starts absorbing the {Evolution Potion} to evolve his body for the second time. After staying in the capsule for 2 hours, Alex steps out feeling more powerful than before. He checks his stats once again using the [Observe] function of the [Magic Chip].

Even though his basic stats saw a bigger increase than the previous evolution, he can see that in terms of percentage it wasn't as big as the first one. This increase is only because his stat is already high. It seems like the effectiveness of the F-ranked {Evolution Potion} will truly keep decreasing as he uses it more.
There is also one thing that bothers him, his spirit. He seems to have a natural talent when it comes to his Spirit stat. If ranking up criteria is only based on his spirit, he already possess the requirement to rank up to F-rank 5-star. The problem is that his high Spirit stat has no direct use in combat other than to use it for the {Energy Manipulation} skill. Alex thinks of it as a waste of his high Spirit stat.
"Hey Fay, can you tell me about this Spirit stat?" Alex decides to try and asks Fay.

"The Spirit stat is related to the strength of your soul," Fay explains.
"My soul?" Alex shows a confused expression as things like soul is an abstract concept to him.
"Yes, your soul. Every intelligent creature is composed of physical body, soul, and energy. Energy is the soldier, soul is the general, and physical body is the vessel," Fay continues explaining with a cryptic statement.
"I think I get a bit of what you're saying, but it doesn't help me. Can you tell me more?" Alex asks Fay again.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can tell you. You rank is still too low for now, so I can't tell you more," Fay replies to Alex.
Alex is a little disappointed, but a little clue is still a clue after all. Alex tries to ponder on Fay's statement. While pondering, Alex keeps training using the {Energy Manipulation} skill, trying to increase his proficiency in it.
After using the skill for a few times, Alex can now feel it's easier for him to control his Mana. Alex can understand a bit of Fay's cryptic message. As his Spirit grows stronger, it gets easier to control his Mana. The Spirit is the general, and the Mana is the soldier. As the general gets stronger, the soldier gets more obedient.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

Digital Haven
The modern world fell into a deep depression, and few options remained for the suffering lower class. The global economy crumbled under a growing energy crisis and overpopulation led to the creation of a virtual frontier known as Teurilia, the first full immersion virtual reality. Teurilia introduced a world of adventure and exploration leaning on human nature for greed and power. The world, built to be a realistic role-playing game offered players nearly unlimited freedom and became wildly popular around the world within weeks of its initial release. Originally intended to be a temporary relief from the real world, the world’s governments soon realized the potential of virtual existence with the release of technology to permanently transfer consciousness from physical bodies into virtual ones. Supported by economists of the world and political power from the United Nations, Teurilia received limitless funding to support the migration of millions of new citizens. Eric Williams like many low-class citizens immediately saw the potential new life in Teurilia offered and signed up for the migration program within the first week of its announcement. Eric always dreamed of grand adventure and Teurilia was his golden ticket. This is his story…

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
