《Jormungandr's calamity》Book 1: Chapter 14 : Night is dangerous (2)
Advertisement
The closer I got, the more my body was telling me to run away, but this feeling of fear only made me walk, and finally, I saw it. What was standing in front of me was a huge crocodile but I thought it was strange that it could live here because it would normally need water but as I thought about it, one of its eyes started staring at me.
It's not possible I'm hidden, he couldn't find me. But I was wrong, he opened his mouth and a cavernous voice came out.
Cro: "Come on. "
I was paralyzed even if he told me to come, I couldn't do it because my body had frozen as if what was in front of me was too dangerous. He opened his mouth a second time and I could finally come out of this state of which I was the victim.
Cro: "I told you to come. "
I moved towards him and the closer I got, the more I felt like I had entered a place with different gravity.
Me: "What do you want senior?
Cro: That you keep me company. Because it's rare that people come to me without the intention of fighting.
There are two cases of people:
-People who flee as soon as they see me because they want to save their skin.
-The second situation is that I'm being attacked on sight. What categories are you in?
Me: Neither, because I only came here because I was curious.
Cro: You're telling me you're risking your life just because you were curious. I've seen some strange people in my life, but never as strange as you. I can even tell you're out of your mind.
Me: No I just felt like an aura coming out of that place and my body was telling me to run away but I had to see what it was.
Cro: I like you, you are not afraid of death and why didn't you run away as soon as you saw me.
Me: I could not if I would have fled you would have chased me and I would have lost my life but there I am beautiful and alive and I would rather stay here than alone in the desert.

Cro: If you are afraid to stay in the desert alone then why did you come here?
Me: To become stronger and thus be able to defend me.
Cro: To become more powerful. Well you can stay here tonight and I'll help you get back to the big desert but I think it would be better if you go to another place to train.
Me: Why? In my opinion, this was the best place I could not use my venom and under pressure like this, I would become powerful very quickly.
Cro: The central desert is far too dangerous. Here I am an Overlord but if I go there I will be nothing more than a monster more powerful than the average but many people would be more powerful than me that's why I want to propose something.
Me: Who is?
Cro: I'll train you.
Me: Why are you so generous?
Cro: We need to help each other whenever there is a member of your family in need. Just like all the reptile I have a little blood of Jormungandr so we can say that we are the same family also I think that your entire blood is the same as Jormungandr so I will be very happy if you become very powerful because I could say that it was with my help and I want to show to everyone that we are also powerful. So what do you say? Will you become my disciple?
Me: Of course, but I want to know what restrictions I will have by becoming your disciple?
Cro: One. You will only have to say after every fight where you defeat a powerful enemy that your master is Cro the brave.
Me: Only that.
Cro: Yes I always wanted to become famous that my name resounds all over the world and with your blood and my training you will become necessarily someone powerful and as I am your master I will become famous for having a disciple so powerful. Now it's time to eat and sleep. "
After our meal, I lay down next to my master and looked at him strangely. Indeed at the very beginning, I looked at him with admiration because of his power but now that I know his dream I find it strange to be able to respect him.

He wants to become famous, so if he manages to reach a human form his penultimate door will be the door of envy. But what power will I gain? Because with each door that you break you will gain power but it's different for everyone but me because I couldn't have a human form what will be my power.
Even I won't have to think about that and will have to focus on my current abilities. Well, I have to sleep so I'll be in shape for tomorrow. As for the last two days the moonlit up and his body began to glow as if he was feeding on this source of light, but what was strange was that there were spikes coming out of his tail even though they were barely visible.
The next morning I woke up because the lower part of my body was burning, indeed the sand had burnt my skin a bit and I noticed that I was 1. 04 m tall instead of 98 cm I was growing well. I searched for Cro with my eyes but I could not find him there is only one way to find him and that was to use my smell.
Author: Snakes do not have ears if you see what appears to be a snake with two small holes instead of ears this one is a legless lizard. Other information a snake that has round pupils is not venomous but those with vertical eyes like cats are venomous so if you are facing what you think is a snake look for this information about the individual in front of you.
I first tried to spot him with my sight but I found nothing because I can only see thanks to the heat, an individual will appear red in front of me but at least I will be able to spot my prey or anyone in the night but in the desert, this type of vision was a great handicap because as I am in the desert, the sand is hot and I see him in red everywhere so what is in front is only a large red area.
I will be able to see the monsters in this environment because they will not be glued to the ground but it will be very hard. So I stuck out my tongue to collect the smells that were around and find my master.
Author: Snakes collect smells in the strangest of ways possible. Indeed, they collect the odor particles on their tongue and transmit this information to the Jacobson's organ so that they can smell the odors around them.
Do you like these little interventions that bring science knowledge?
Among all these smells I recognized that of my master, so I was only interested in that smell and finally, I found it. He wasn't that far away about 400 meters to my left, so I rushed in that direction and saw him.
Cro: "Looks to me like you've done well in your first training session.
Me: My first training? But I've done nothing except finding you.
Cro: You found me so you made it. Did you know what the purpose of this exercise was?
Me: To make better use of my senses.
Cro: Exactly the senses are one of the most important things in a fight. So I wanted to teach you to focus on one sense because sometimes it's better to cut off your other senses to push one to its peak. Take the case of a blind person, he will have a much better sense of smell and hearing to survive in nature. Now that you've done with that little trick, we can get down to business.
Me: Who is?
Cro: Fighting."
I will finally learn how to fight.
Cro: "Are you ready?
Me: Like never.
Cro: So follow me."
And this is how begin my very first training with my master.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
