《The New Form》A risky plan
Advertisement
Blake spread his tiny wings and started flying in the direction of the treasure. During his flight he started thinking, 'Treasures are usually protected by something right? I doubt that I will be lucky enough to find an unprotected treasure. I suppose I should hide until I figure out more.'
He only just got a second chance on life, he definitely didn't want to lose it. Several minutes later he was flying about 20 meters away from a small cave at the side of an inconspicuous hill. After checking the map, he confirmed that the Windrose Seed was inside but he didn't know what to do right now. He only had 2 minutes of [Loot] to find and touch the Windrose Seed as the ability would end afterwards and he would have to wait for a whole month.
Not to mention that if the thing guarding the Windrose Seed was above 2-rank Body Refinement stage, the chances of [Loot] being effective would be lower.
'I suppose I don't have a choice right now, I can only wait for the thing inside to get hungry or something else so that I can sneak in when it isn't there.' Blake wasn't stupid but he wasn't a genius either so he could only do the safest thing that came to his mind. And so, the long wait began.
After about 3 hours Blake saw a long black snake with white dots on its body swiftly slither out of the cave however instead of rushing into the cave, Blake patiently waited for the snake to return. Three minutes later, the snake returned with a dead mouse inside of its mouth.
In the next 3 days, except for eating and 'taking care of his business', Blake spent all of his time monitoring the cave and at this point, he was sure the snake was the one protecting the Windrose Seed. Now he just needed to wait for the snake to go hunting again.

'Seems it is about time...' At this moment, that black snake finally appeared. Just as the previous few times, it quickly slithered away and the moment he disappeared from sight, Blake dived down from the branch towards the cave. He reached the cave in just a few seconds and quickly entered.
The cave was quite spacious to the current him but if it was a human, he would have crouch down to enter. There was barely any light inside and the walls looked extremely slippery as if covered with some jellylike substance. The cave looked small from the outside but just as Blake worried, it was actually really long inside and quite complex. After a few seconds Blake had to slow down so that he wouldn't hit a wall accidentally.
After a minute, Blake was already getting worried as he knew that he had to leave now but he didn't get what he wanted yet. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, waiting for another chance, he noticed something shining with the corner of his eye.
Deciding to risk it he quicky flew over to the shiny thing. It was an azure seed the size of a coconut that had a shining pattern in the shape of a rose on it. Seeing the pattern, Blake was sure that this was the Windrose Seed. He quickly landed on it and tried to lift it but how could a small hummingbird lift such a big thing?
'I am not able to bring this out? Was all this waiting just a waste of time?' He tried a few more times, but he couldn't lift it no matter how hard he flapped his wings. He could already hear the snake returning back. If he doesn't activate [Loot] now, he is going to die. Making up his mind, he quickly activated this part of the ability for the first time. He suddenly felt as If he was merging with the world and the seed beneath him suddenly disappeared. He had no time to think about what happened as he quickly flew towards the exit.

Halfway there, he suddenly saw the snake enter the cave. He hurriedly landed on the side and prayed that the snake wouldn't notice him. Every second felt like an hour while the snake slowly passed by. Blake finally relaxed when the snake turned around the corner.
Knowing that the snake will be furious once it finds out that its treasure disappeared, Blake quickly flew away, not stopping until he reached the other side of the river. Once there, he sat down on a branch and thought back to what just happened.
'Why did that treasure suddenly disappear when he activated [Loot]? Could it be...'

Polyrhythm Time -- A Bard's Tail
Have you ever met someone who loves what they do so much that they'll skip sleep, food, love and safety to pursue it? What happens if that kind of person encounters a different dimension, yet holds on to their love of music, and specifically of rock drumming.When the world ended at the end of 2057, Kevin Snackenbridge slept through it. He'd been drumming all night. tl;dr-- System eats world -- Monsters and magic ---- LitRpg -- Practice, not levels and stats ---- MC Bard -- support class -- low power ---- MC chooses music over survival skills --tl;dr Kevin trips into the Internal Strength Dimension where Thaumaturgy is king. With the help of a talking plant and several vicious monkeys he learns that the rule is "Change or die." Kevin changes, but remains firmly a drummer/Bard in this high fantasy setting. This is Kevin's adventure, and that of the friends he meets. Kevin has the soul of a real musician. He loves music, specifically rhythm and drumming, and would give his left nut if it would help him drum better. He's a rock drummer, and his language is that of a rock drummer: slanged, duded, and frequently laced with profanity. He focuses on music, and makes decisions that even the author doesn't approve of. However, that means all his decisions are Kevin's decisions, not those of a system-optimizing power-gamer. There's points (All of Arc 2) where he wanders aimlessly. Goals seem foreign to him at points. What would you do if you were a musician, and the world fell apart and you no longer had an audience or band-mates. You'd be kinda lost. Kevin is. Arc 2 is a lot of Kevin not knowing what to do, going with the flow, and not being articulate enough to know that he doesn't know what to do. 1. Chapters start short near 500 words, and grow to 12-1500 by ch.100 2. Chapters daily

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
