《Reincarnation: EVOLUTION.》Chapter 31: In the dead of the nightmare.
Advertisement
(NO POV)
It was a warm summer day in the city of Rya. A peaceful day, for almost all of this city’s inhabitants. The only thing that disturbed their peace was the anthropomorphic foxes that accused their city lord in kidnapping their clan leader.
That day many people had already started their daily routine. Some were working, some were shopping, some were begging and some were indulging themselves in all kinds of sins. But what they didn’t know was that, that this day will be their last day in their life, and that this day will be recorded in the history like one of the bloodiest disasters in the human empires history.
At the noon when many workers took their break, the cries were heard in the city. An army invaded their city. What was surprising is that the main gates were open as if inviting them inside the city. Firstly there weren’t even any guards stationed at the gate, all what was there were bloody stains on the ground and the walls, as if something had killed the guards and then took their corpses.
But the surprises didn’t end with only that! There was no signal that an army was approaching. And the guards were disorganized, as if there was no order to defend the city from the attackers. When the citizens were running for their life, to the gates that were on the opposite side of the city than the main gates, many of them noticed that there was a smoke coming from the side where the city lord’s mansion was. And most of them understood that their lord is dead.
And that wasn’t even the end of it! When they reached the gates… they were closed. All the gates except the main gates were closed. But it would be alright if they were just closed. The gate guards were panicking and shouting that the gates mechanism was broken. The citizens in their desperate attempt to survive stormed the gates. But to their despair an earth wall grew in front of them sealing the gates forever. And that happened to all of the gates. The city of Rya was now sealed from the outside world forever. You might think that there is magic in this world and some magicians would be capable of opening the gates or even blasting open the walls. But the city walls were constructed built to withstand the siege of the magic weapons. So to break them it would require a mage of the highest caliber. Also the earth wall was constructed with the help of magic and to break it would require a mage that is stronger than the one who constructed the wall, And there was no one in this city who is stronger than Oberon in magic other than his wife Titania.

In this desperate situation all they could do was to pray to whatever gods they worshipped. But even that didn’t help them. As what happened later was so horrifying that many of them decided to end their life on the spot.
Zombies. From the nearest buildings to the gates zombies crawled out. Their numbers weren’t high, but for average denizen they were deadly despite the fact that they were one of the most weak undead. But that wasn’t even the most horrible thing. The living that was killed by the zombies came back to life…No the most appropriate word to describe this would be ‘unlife’, as the dead became the zombies themselves.
And thus the nightmare was born.
(Oberon’s POV)
Now that all exits are sealed I should start the massacre.
You sure are ruthless.
Ruthless? I guess I am. But don’t be mistaken. I might be ruthless, twisted hypocrite….But sometimes the world needs not a hero but a villain. And that is just what I am! I will make this world burn! And then from the ashes of the destroyed world will rise a new one, and that world won’t be bu….No that’s enough.
Wait! Why didn’t you finish? What did you want to say?
You will understand eventually. But I will tell you this…I will wage a war so bloody and horrible that any other war and villain will be washed away from the pages of history with blood. My plan might be the reason why gods won’t interfere with me or help me.
With that I descended in the middle of the clans forces. As soon as I was on the ground I heard confused shouts.
“Why there is an earth wall at the gates?”
“Better yet why there weren’t any guards at the gates?”

“Is this a trap?”
“There are screams coming from the other part of the city!”
“Is that smoke coming from there?”
Hoh, they didn’t even notice me.
Congratulations! By submerging the city of Rya into a nightmarish experience you have destroyed the future when this city will be a home city of the hero who will save thousands of life’s, you have gained 8 levels! You have acquired 220 skill points and 180 stat points.

Decomposition field eh? Now that’s sounds like something rotten. What can it do?
Decomposition field.An unholy element spell. Decomposition field spell creates a 10X10 large field filled with unholy energies that make everything inside of it (excepting the caster) to rot for the next 20 seconds. If there was more than 10 living beings that rotted in this field then at the center of the field the miasmic sphere will appear. The sphere will excrete miasmic gases that will inflict immense pain for everything that will inhale those gases. The sphere will disappear after 10 minutes. This spell will grow more powerful with increasing of your unholy magic level.
In that case…
“Decomposition field!”-I casted this rotten spell.

Mycology
Declan was but a teenager when he was invited to Gaia. It wasn't some popular VRMMO like the ones his friend keeps recommending, nor was it a 'game' in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. To join or not to join? Well, why the hell not? Hello, this is a pretty basic VR story which I started writing out of boredom, don't expect anything too great here, it's a somewhat unique setting but with mostly slice of life comedy shenanigans with no real 'plot' since I can't reliably include stakes in a world where respawning is a thing. I'll try to upload at least once every other week but real life stuff may get in the way occasionally. **WARNING** Protagonist comes with an inbuilt wizard hat. Also, any mentions of chapter titles shall be met with falling rocks TPK. **ACTUAL WARNING** Story may or may not read like the fever dream of an eclectic sasquatch with internet connection. Do be warned, that this story has extremely slow pacing by design. Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/p2gxqs4 Laugh at my empty Patreon!!

The world of Judas Valiant is bustling with Fantasy and a touch of Steampunk. This is an original tale made as an homage to the famed Studio Ghibli and Guillermo Del Toro, all-the-while taking inspirations from numerous animes and fantasies alike (Too many to love!

Ripe with desperate opportunity, arrives the many-faced creature rushing to make a deal worth several lifetimes. "To find your way into your parent's arms again, you'll need to become a Valiant." He explained. "A Valiant?" I responded suspiciously. "...One must perform a 3-part task in which you must demonstrate the essence of a Mother, the essence of a Father, and earn the essence of a Gaurdian." He explained with haste. Innocently playing into the unknown visitor's tempting hand, the boy agrees to a deal hopelessly intertwined with a journey like no other and is sent to the mysterious and massive city of New Dwarden. Faced with outrageously colorful characters, towering and seemingly alien animal life, and even talking frogs-lemur's, the boy must adapt to grand adventure to complete his impossible task. This a steampunk story about a second chance at life, one that grows beyond life and death.
