《The life of a little orphan tortoise》Chapter 2: The lone battle for supremacy

Shao then slowly wanders off, away from the group. Whilst, at the same time, keeping at a safe distance, not so far away from the protective nest. So that he may not possibly get lost.
He has been trying his best to find smaller preys, that he could somehow easily kill with a single bite, to gain some experience points and level up.
On his way, he then unknowingly encountered a wandering pact of Sea Snails. Slithering around amongst the shallow ends and depths of sea waters, leaving behind them a trail of viscous yellow goo.
Shao slowly creeps up from behind the pact of Sea Snails, who was in the process of breaking down its prey with its strong gastro stomach acids, releasing outside its body, in order to break down and then digest the meal.
Utilizing the piercing strength of his bite, he bit into one of the Sea Snail's head and tore it off from its body. His mouth cutting through the soft gelatinous flesh of the Sea Snail. Killing forth the sea critter within seconds. Though the pain that it may have felt was quite short, nevertheless its death was the most painless, when compared to its other companions.
The other Sea Snail watches in horror as their brethren is slowly eaten away, right before their very eyes.
Retracting inside of their shells on instinct, waiting for their predators or hunters to leave.
Then the slight sense of saltiness assaulted Shao's mouth, with a bit of numbing pain occurring within his mouth. The bitterness of the acid stench saliva wants to make him throw up his meal, but he managed to somehow keep it down.
《Skill proficiency has reached a designated amount. Skill 「Weak Acid Resistance Lv1 」acquired.》
Having felt the bloodlust growing within him, as he was greatly dissatisfied with the taste of his meal. This sought of enraged him, leaving a bitter numbing pain within his mouth. Opening his mouth wide, he chomps on the dead Sea Snail's shell, shattering it into bits and eating it.

"Better?"
The taste of the Sea Snail's shell was indeed a lot better, rather than eating its slimy disgusting body, leaving behind a deep bitter aftertaste in his mouth.
Having felt satisfied with his luck, finding easy prey for level grinding. He starts to kill on the remainder of the Sea Snail pact, hidden withinside their shells.
They were all not able to withstand, the tremendous pressure of Shao's bite, therefore the shell collapsed and caved in, piercing the internal body and organs of the Sea Snails. Leaving behind fatal injuries, possibly leading to their death shortly afterward. If it is left not treated properly.

"Two levels in one hunt isn't that bad. I must really be lucky."
《Skill proficiency has reached a designated point. Skill 「Overeating Lv1」 has become 「Overeating Lv2」.》
Shao was quite happy at the result of his hunt today, as he slowly begins to make his way back to the nest. His stomach filled up to the brim, with the meals of his recent hunt. Slowly, digesting and converting it into nutrients and sustenance for his bodies own growth.

《Skill proficiency has reached a designated point. Skill 「Defence Up Lv1」 has become 「Defence Up Lv2」.》
His belly was now twice the normal size of what it once was. Even bigger than anyone in his family.
On his way back home, he spotted one of his much younger siblings, being attack by a predator twice her size. The thing is that said person is none other than Reya, Shao's younger sister.
And she is now struggling to fight back against the Sea Cricketeer, which is twice her length, towering above her with his large piercing claws.
Slashing wildly at her small figure with its large claws, leaving behind large scratch marks and dents in the outer shell, covering her body. She was definitely in pain, crying effortlessly for help, but no one came.
Shao was greatly angered at this spectacle. How dare this insignificant worthless insect, dared to attack his family member in broad daylight. Regardless of sort of attachment or feelings, he may have towards her.
Shao then rushes forward like a raging bull, slamming his large body on top of the Sea Cricketeer, causing it to be in great agony.
《Skill proficiency has reached a designated amount. Skill 「Charge Lv1 」acquired.》
The impact was strong enough to daze the Sea Cricketeer, causing it to momentarily stutter, and stop its ongoing consecutive slashes at Reya. Using this chance, Shao uses bite on the neck of the Sea Cricketeer, crushing it out of shape.
Blood is spilled everywhere, slowly filling the Shao's mouth. As he continues to apply more pressure and begins to chew at it like it was his food.
《Experience points have reached a designated degree. The individual, Shao Lv5 has become Lv6.》

《2 Unallocated stats points gained.》
Meanwhile, Reya just stood there still and quiet. Unmoving. Witnessing in awe at how strong and brave her older brother Shao is. Despite his quiet and antisocial behavior around others. He still cares for his family.
He is now dominating the competition, currently possessing an aura of indifference about him. Something that is not like Kaan's undoubtful arrogance.
Something more admirable...

Path of Divinity
The world has been assimilated by the Celestial Archives, a vast system designed to fight the forces that seek to destroy the universe. For most, it's a holy cause that rewards victory with stats, levels, and skills. For Hunter Gold, it's the start of a nightmare. Even in a system dominated by paths, he finds himself taking the road less traveled. This is a work in progress. Major editing will be done after the book is complete, so there will be egregious typos and parts that make no sense whatsoever. Please feel free to point any and all of these things out. Chapters WILL get edited, and that editing might break earlier chapters. I will attempt to keep readers apprised of all changes. As always, feedback is welcome and appreciated. This is kind of something fun I wanted to write after reading stories like The New World, System Apocalypse, and the Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I don't know how serious I will be about this story, but I just want to try it out. I imagine that it will become a love child between Fable, Diablo, and Devil May Cry. Enjoy!

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
