《Rat In The Dungeon》25. Fire Magic
Advertisement
Okay. It is very good to know the exact temperature you are currently burning for. Yeap. It maybe doesn’t really help you in any way other than increase the already pretty high level of fear but still it is not necessarily bad.
Great… anyways I just jumped on the new fire ely, pretty pissed off actually. I think that might have been a bad idea in retrospect seeing as I ended up piercing him right into a wall. Damn I should start limiting my output or I might kill myself at some point. He didn’t exactly slow me down either. He just dissipated when I slammed into him.
That’s not pleasant. Fortunately ending up in the wall put me off fire immediately. Then I proceed to get myself out again. Very funny indeed, another few minutes passed.
Finally I activated my erase presence because I noticed some other fire ely coming my way.
Like do they wanna die so hard? I cannot imagine a powerful monster being one shot by me not even trying at all. So they have to be weak. Also despite not checking my status I am fairly certain that I got none levels. Like the experience gain was terrible. I think I got some but it was so little it doesn’t really make it worth at all.
The fire ely that was close by still came looking for me. But he just didn’t know where I am at all. He was kinda spacing out for a little bit of time then proceed to go closer to a spawn point that was still close by.
I think another monster is being spawned right now and it was again a fire elemental. Does this place have only fire elementals? Would be fortunate because I finally found a monster that I have basically no problem to kill.
Definitely, I am sure they are absolutely brain dead. Guided by whatever.

My understanding of those creatures only got reinforced when I saw what happened when the other ely fully formed. Not that it would take that long I was just so focused.
After fully formed the other ely already camping there started fusing with him.
It was awesome.
The fusion was really fast. It took only about five seconds.
Afterwards there was a fire elemental that looked way more cool. It reminded me of the wolf shadow refinement. Like the first time I saw the shadow wolf he didn’t had so refined shadows. Then after he evolved and gave me the much needed confidence that it doesn’t take that long, his shadows were more profound.
Similar to this the double elemental got three times bigger and the natural fire they have which is like the entire body, picked up a lot of heat. Like A LOT.
My whiskers are telling me it is currently around eight hundred degrees around me.
And I am currently well around twenty meters from it.
I am no physicist but even then I am pretty sure that means it is way more hot the closer I get to him. I wanna know my limits and also very curious about the upgrade he just got.
Six thousand three hundred degree. I am literally next to the fire elemental. I started raging on fire even before I was this close to him probably because of my fur but this is insane. I also know I am starting to finally take some damage. It started around four thousand mark.
Damn that’s some nice resistance.
I think I have about ten seconds before I die. Just by standing close to this fire elemental.
No way I am ever calling this stupidly overpowered cunt ely. They are monsters!!!
Wait… another few precious seconds have passed by me burning.
And to my surprise I think the elemental knows about me.

He didn’t attack yet but he is preparing some kind of spell. I can feel mana building inside of him.
It is very weird because they already are almost pure mana. Like how does this even work.
Basically I decided to screw this guy over. It also started to hurt quite a bit but still it didn’t affect me in the least. I don’t feel sluggish or anything and I already took over half of my hp in damage. I can sort of tell this but of course it is not accurate.
So I jumped a bit away from the elemental. I had to focus hard because if I slam myself into a wall right now it might just cost me my life. Successfully jumped few meters away never felt so good. He was still building his spell, already the temperature was bearable so I could put the fire off somewhat comfortably by rolling a bit on the ground.
While I was busy doin my business the flame elemental was about to release his spell. I was sure it would be something of fire nature.
I had to act fast but by focusing some of the mana into my brain and trying hard to feel the flow of mana both in my body and in the body of the elemental I waited for the perfect moment. It was just nearly before he released his spell, I picked on it like a god damn professional mage. This is what I was aiming for.
I forced hard to add some of my mana to it and sure enough the spell got out of control for the elemental.
In short he imploded. I think he wanted to do a big explosion spell and it did the exact opposite by my clever addition. I was still hit by a shockwave but it was basically just a nice breeze.
I was aiming for just disrupting the spell itself. Expected like at most a bit of pain for the elemental. Got a way better result.
More likely than not I doubt this is going to be always the same result.
There might be some with better control of the magic or something like that but this one was new and fairly weak.
Also got one level out of this fight.
Great. Progress even if small is still progress.
Next time I go sleep I will pick up fire immunity or something like that for that hard earned single skill point.
I don’t wanna be on fire ever again.
I think I am in trouble now.
I feel pretty well and all that still but I know my hp isn’t doin so hot.
It definitely is past the half hp mark. Hm… how do I heal.
Maybe there is a bit of natural regeneration, not that I would experience it at any point yet. It is really bad.
Also I am still not hungry. That’s odd. It is really convenient for the time being at least because I cannot eat that which disappears completely.
I think my endless skill might be the culprit of many things I don’t know why. I wish I could just single out a specific explanation of some of my status.
It is a pain in the ass not knowing exactly what I can and cannot do.
Despite having trouble realizing why many things are happening the way they are I got an idea. I already should’ve realized that sooner but now I will confirm it.
I think I might be able to eat the fire elementals after all.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
