《Earth´s awakening》Scouting and preparations.
Advertisement
Jordan spends the whole night monitoring the camp and came to the conclusion that he can´t cooperate with those demons.
They had the humans locked up in cages probably to earn a monthly wage of crystals and used them only for hard labor.
After all, they didn't specify how you should treat the humans but still, such treatment for humans was without foresight.
Jordan ´with this they completely waste the human potential and only create enemies that will come to hunt them in future, either those slaves or some angels on their path for peacefulness, sadly those demons won´t do´
Jordan was watching until the morning came and when the sun rose the demons let out the humans from the cages and forced them to work.
Building and repairing the walls made from fences that were reinforced by layers of bricks or any part from cars such as doors, hood, or even car roofs that were cut of car.
All the men looked weak like they didn't have proper food in weeks, the women looked a bit better but still, they all were slim and depression could be seen in everyone´s eyes.
The two demons that were at night copulating with the succubus talked for a while to the succubus then called few beasts that they controlled and went out together with few humans.
The succubus was seated in the middle of the camp while catching the sun and on her right side, there was a tome she read a bit from time to time and once even cast a spell that was aimed at one of the man´s that was slacking, three circles formed and huge icicle pierced the poor man, killing him instantly.
Jordan spectated all this from one of the tower blocks and gradually he even tried to get closer, he wanted to get a good grasp on the number of humans there on the number of beasts and if there are any hidden traps, Jordan preferred to rather trigger the traps himself then let them kill his beasts, after all, he can easily escape, his beasts wouldn't be so lucky.

Jordan got so close that he was only about twenty meters away from the succubus while he hid behind a corner of one house, the humans were working only a few meters away, the camp itself was located around a supermarket and several houses, from what Jordan gathered there was about 250 humans, 3 demons, the succubus so far looks like their boss and also under the 2 demons there are 20 or so beasts in the first phase.
One thing to take note of is the strength of the succubus as she can already cast third circle spells but Jordan didn't fret, together with Sunny it should be easy to kill her.
While Jordan looked around he started to smell the weird aroma, it was sweet and arousing, upon smelling it Jordan began to feel light-headed and meek, he wanted to go and seek what the smell was.
Before he could move and let everyone know that he is here Jordan let few claws grow from his fingers and stabbed himself lightly in the thigh, the pain broken the trance, and Jordan could think clearly again ´no wonder the succubus acts co carefreely, with an ability like that it´s hard to attack her´
Jordan first checked if was Luna affected by the aroma but that only brought him more questions ´is she not affected because she is female or because she is a beast?´
Jordan slowly retreated, and began to return. ´if I destroy this camp I will prove to others that I am not like the other demons but that can make me look bad in the eyes of other demons and the angels won't care much about it, the humans though will see me more as a neutral party and those that don't want to choose a side will most likely come to me, also with this, the humans in the camp should be grateful to me so it should be easier to convince them to join me´

Jordan ´in the end I cant choose the outcome, either way, I would have to kill them to take control of the city so it doesn't matter, the only downside is that the angels could do it for me but better if I kill them myself so that the angels cant earn money from their death.´
With the scouting mostly done Jordan went back and picked up some beasts and confirmed that they aren't affected by the aroma from succubus then he was only left with all the preparations for battle and there were a lot of preparations.
First Jordan had to find a way to counter the aroma, he found a passage in his magic tome that contained basic enhancing and so he did just that, he enhanced the bandana and gave it filtering function, it was quite easy as the enhancement Jordan needed was only first circle one.
Jordan got several bandanas that upon activating with mana will protect him for about ten minutes and then will turn back to a piece of cloth.
And how the enhancing itself worked? The enhancing use mana and give proprieties to materials or makes them utilize mana in certain ways, for the bandana there is a layer of mana that repels anything other than oxygen, from what Jordan read enhancing for weapons work on a similar system.
Most of the low circle enhancements are only temporary, for the enhancements that are permanent there is a need for rechargeable mana crystal to be crafted into the weapon.
Also, the enhancements are not constantly active, only before the battle with pouring mana into them can activate them as constantly powering the enhancement is almost impossible without high-grade crystals that have higher mana regeneration than consumption. or low circle enhancements that
Also, the enhancements can´t be put one over another such as "the material will be hard and the material will be 500 °C hot´ such proprieties will counter one another, the material will try to be hot but the softening caused by the high temperature will hinder the hardening thus creating an endless circle that will exhaust all the mana instantly.
Those are only a few easy examples as Jordan didn't have time to study the enhancements further, he still had to organize the beasts choose leaders for groups, and think of some feasible plans and countermeasures.
Jordan could just overrun the camp with a superior number of beasts and achieve victory like that but he wanted to have as few as possible casualties, except for the big rats, the more rats die the better, the number of rats under Jordan control already increased from 50 to 60 in only two days, the reproduction rate of rats is truly frightening as the mana stimulates pregnancy and shortens it significantly.
The afternoon went quickly by and when the evening came Jordan moved out with his beasts, slowly the beasts got in position while another session of orgies was happening in the camp, Jordan was hidden on the roof of one house that was nearby enough to see over the whole situation while also far enough to hide Jordan in the darkness of night.
Jordan brought all the rats and half the number of ratmans for the attack, those were in the first group, the second group was compromised of Sunny, Max, and 2 more second phase beasts, and many of the first phase, Luna and other cat beasts were hidden and prepared to drop on any thread that showed itself and the flying beasts who could see in dark were seated everywhere on roofs of houses.
Everything looked ready, Jordan only needed to give a signal to start the attack.

Advanced AI's All of these meant nothing to Jayden, she had been born too soon, her body unable to process the new technology. She was approaching the end of her life and had a choice to make. Deep Dive VR had progressed and real digitization and uploading was now an option for those unable to use life-extension treatments. For all the science the Human race had developed, Jayden was forced to take a different path. She would be digitized and explore a new world. One where cultivation and dinosaurs blended together. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License. For those unfamiliar with my writing style, Second Chances was my first attempt at writing. I'm not sure how much I learned in the process, except that readers get angry when you mess with characters they like! Warnings - I tend to info dump. I know I do this, I like slice of life novels that take time to unfold. So don't expect action, murder, and battles in every chapter, it isn't going to happen I prefer the first-person narrative. I will do an occasional POV shift, but it will never be done mid-chapter. I hope you enjoy the story, comments, ratings, and favorites are greatly appreciated!

Is Lucas Destined to Die in the New World?
Lucas imagined himself doing grander things in life; after all, he put in his own blood, sweat, and tears, and got himself a master's degree in English. Maybe he'd be the next best-selling author, or maybe the most popular late night TV show host. However, life didn't give him anything more than a management position at the local burger joint. Day in and day out, he flipped burgers, swept floors, and made weekly schedules that his employees ignored. All he had known for the past five years of his life was pure misery. Then after one night of drunken revelry, he found himself in an unfamiliar world, but he knew all the gimmicks. He knew these stories had quirks he could manipulate- he could put all his stats into magic and become the best wizard in the world, or he could dump all his stats into strength and become a veritable warrior. But once again, just like Earth, this new world seemed to have different plans for him. Instead, he was given a luck stat of 0 and a skill that forced him into danger where there should have been none. Why is this nerdy, magical paradise trying to kill him? Content warnings are there to give me some creative legroom later. There's not an excess of any gruesome content in the story, and what is there is tastefully sprinkled in. This is a LitRPG. Updates are twice a week on Mon/Fri plus some extras here and there.

The Dog with a Chair
As of now, this story is dropped. It was an excellent learning experience, but the quality suffered too much from me trying new things for me to continue in good concience. Thanks to anyone that read it. I'm leaving this story up as a record of my first ever attempt at publishing something I've wrote. To any new writers out there, remember that even if the stuff you write is trash, you can still learn a lot from writing it. - November 17th 2020 Guy gets involved in advocacy for civil engineering projects, then gets pulled into an interdimensional war. Third person with a focus on one main character (Stanley) with the occasional point of view from another character important to story progression. Writing style tends to shift early on as I figure out how to write (this is my first book). Still learning, hoping to improve. Current style choice is to have a focus on character dialogue/actions with interspersed internal monologue in italics. No current end is set for the story, with the primary goal of this project being to learn to express myself in a written format. Storyline is kept as consistent as practical while covering things I find interesting. Governmental systems are mentioned, but not explained in extreme detail. Sci fi elements are used to reinforce and guide plot progression as I'm able. Personal goals belonging to each character are in the process of being developed, with the hope that they will support or oppose each other in interesting ways later on. Hope you enjoy :)

My Roleplay Server
Given the chance to reincarnate in a world with two wishes, who would say no? Especially when you could live a life you've always wanted. This is supposed to be a relaxed story about a man fulfilling the dreams he couldn't in his first life. There will still be drama and more adult things, but overall it will be pretty chill. The action of the story will come in when he finishes making the server. As of right now, 4/6/2022, it's looking like this is going to be a slower-paced novel. Hopefully, in the future, I can get the pacing downright. This is my first released story, so feel free to give me all your constructive criticism. I do plan on finishing this story. Please point out any mistakes you see. This novel is also on Webnovel and Scribble Hub.
