《I'm nothing special, so can i go back please ?》14 - Head start
Advertisement
Hemm, huuu, seriously, i... cant clearly process what's... happening
Huuu, we, we are under attack by a thing scarier that all the other fucking one i've seen so far ! Heck, usually i compare them to alien, but even him would go back with his tail between his legs back to his egg, crying from fright ! I mean...
A two meters large, black pincer has penetrated from the tips of his two claws inside the "shielding dome" and is currently trying to crunch the rest to enter entirely.
On the other side of the shield, a large, gaping worm maw surrounded with countless little claws scratching the shield, and with the inside of the maw carpeted with little teeth like a fucking worm from Dune, is trying to force his way following the claws. And a long, scaled neck with at least a twenty meters lenght is hooked away with the rest of his corpse, who was hidden away behind some trees.
And no, i dont want to know what's behind, the front is perfectly good enough to already make me know we're screwed.
Promptly reacting after the lightning attack, the two J-warrior are positionning themselves to slash away at the neck of this wormy-thing, while J-priest, Carl and Boobs elf are casting random spells.
Beastcat seem to have gone away to attack the main body.
And for me, i'm frozen in place, with eyes wide open.
What did you expect, really ? That i will attack him with my poor little fists ? Leeeeeroy jenkins ? Dream on.
I didn't see it cracking before, and franckly i would have been perfectly happy not knowing it, but the shield dome of Book girl look like he's made of solid glass, with each destroyed bit silently exploding when touching the ground. The main problem is the threathening sound of this glass breaking is awfully going louder with each passing seconds ! Book girl is currently glaring at the gaping, drooling mouth, while tightening her grip on her magic stick.
And in the meantime, the faster to react, J-warrior dps, is attacking !
He send a huge, heavy slash with his great two-handed sword at the base of the neck, near the maw of the beast, and i can tell because the slash leave a red glow after-effect, that it was enhanced by magic. Some green goo splash around, but sadly it doesnt look like he penetrated much, huh.
J-warrior tank is currently trying to bash directly near the base of the claws with his shield, but it seem riiiiidiculously ineffective. I hope he has anoth-
- RrrrrRRRRRBRRRAAACK ! -
Ho, a spell was launched ! Boobs elf used magic to create a three meters huge stone hand from the ground who immediately grab the worm by the middle in an attempt to squeeze it !

Yaaay, way to go, my girl ! Except that the worm dont seem to fazed by this ? But at least he stopped moving wildly like some maggot on a fish hook. And Carl too seem to have finish-
- FRrrRRRTCHCKTCHAKTCHAK ! -
-ed his spell, he create a lot of sharp icicles and propel them in a machine-gun fashion on another area not yet attacked of the neck ! It's spectacular, but not really effective too, judging from the swallow wounds.
Hooo, well, they didn't do much damage, but the worm seem to be annoyed by it, nonetheless ! He stopped trying to penetrate further into the solid shield and is currently doing the reverse way to get out, but his large pincers are slowing him, since they were already inside. And in the meantime, the four others hack, slash and... magic-lash him to the maximum they are able to, since it cant retaliate yet. The damage are still not much but it's accumulating !
It's like looking at an blockbuster epic movie from up close, except that you will die at the end of the credits. Yeah, i've totally came back to my sense. Seeing them attack back this thing reassured me a lot, we have hopes to win ! I hope.
If it was not distracting for them and potentially a way to have the creature attack me, i would cheer loudly.
Ha. Ho. It finally escaped from the shield.
The two J-warriors immediately disengage from melee and put some distance from the immediate vicinity of the maw. The stone hand from Boobs elf is still holding the worm neck by the middle and Carl is preparing another spell.
The huge worm slowly stand up to take a look - Huu, though he has no eyes ? - at the situation around him, and with a huge wave-movement with his neck, break free from the stone retraining him.
And after that, i absolutely didn't see what happened.
The worm used his own neck and claws as a sort of whip and trashed madly at everything around him, leaving big scars on the floors and on the shield surrounding us - Book girl seem to have totally reformed it in the moment the monster leaved the breach -, and created a huge dust cloud for a good thirty seconds.
I was holding my breath from the tension. Because, franckly, after the attack started, i was immediately thinking the others outside were already a bunch of freshly cutted sashimi.
Fortunately, after the dust settles, i can fortunately see all of them survived. Pfffff... And i'm happy because they are alive, not because they can protect me ! I'm not that much of an asshole !

The two J-warrior were protected by a blue glowing magic shield, casted by J-priest i suppose, meanwhile Boobs girl and Carl were hidden behind a huge stone wall. Well, no, the remnants of a huge stone wall. Even then, they have some wounds all others, especially the J-warriors who were the closest of the "ground zero" attack.
And the worm stand up again to look or whatever at the still living people before him and start clashing his two huge claws together. All the people are preparing themselve to what's follwing next, and the worm open wide his mouth, turn in the direction of the J-warriors and prepare a roar.
- Bragrlgrlgrlblll !
Huuu, well, it sound like a sink who was just unclogged.
Ha no, it was not a roar, he puked a liquid on them, but it was quickly dodged by the two of them. It do not seem like acid, so i suppose it's some poison... and the maw turn to us now.
The shield have an umbrella option ?
He prepare another roargrblbl, but stop before releasing it and quickly turn on himself.
Boobs elf use this moment to cast another spell, to create another stone hand to grab his neck, but it was quicly destroyed while the worm was quickly returning to his "base" behind the line of trees. The same instant, the two J-warrior shouted something and breaked to a run in the same direction.
And on the other side, another trashing occured. Shit, Beastcat...
All the trees were starting to fall.
Especially one, in the direction of the shield i am under.
You remember ? They are giant trees.
Hu, w-what do i do ?
" - Kyle ! Run ! The shielD cant blocK this"
HO SHIT !
I start to run with all i have. And i think i have destroyed Book girl's shield while passing just now, but we will analyze that later, ok ?
" - No ! Run on siDe, not along ! Tree will sTill fall on you "
HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK I WAS DOING.
I was running on the direction he was dropping !!! HOW CAN I BE SO STUPID LIKE SOME FUCKING ANIMAL LOOKING AT SOME CAR HEADLIGHTSHITFORFUCKSAKEIDESERVEBUTTKICKHOMYFUCKINGODIWILLDIESOSTUPIDLY !!
I take a 90° turn and try to escape the maximum i was able to. In fact, i runned and jumped before the tree crashed on the ground.
...And luckily, i was able to escape !
From the trunk.
Not from the tree branchs.
Outch.
One minute later, i was able to extirpate myself from the leaves and branchs and approched a little to observe the battle still unfolding.
The beast seem to have gone out from a hole on the ground. It was the same worm-neck and claws, but the main body look like a four to five meters crossbreeding of a weird brown and black oppossum for the fur and claw and a porcupine for the one meter spine who were emerging from his back. You terminate that with a long, slender tail who finish in three little others tails and you have your winner for the award of the worst bizarre-looking creature.
Ho yeah, and on the body, they are heads.
Not worms head, but other creatures heads.
They are like tumors protubering from the back of the beast, between the big spines. Some seem to have been crushed by the differents attacks of our party, but at least 5-6 actually remain intacts. The head of a man, of a horse, of a wolf, and i wasn't able to find out what the two other animals are, but they look like zombie head trying to escape from the digestion.
The two J-warriors are now harassing the "worm part" of the beast with the support spells of Boobs elf and J-priest, while Carl is using his ice-machine gun again to randomly attack the back of the main body. Beastcat is attacking this part too, with a big, long spear. He seem to target especially the heads.
- Bzrghzzzz !
Hey, one of the head who was attacked released a spell just now ? Like a little light effect was targeted to were beastcat was. Damn, dont tell me these things are alive too ?! No fuck, seriously ?
- Scratch !
Ho fuck, beastcat was grabbed by the tail and thrown away against a tree stump. And in the same motion, the tail is now slapping in the direction of Carl who was still using his spell !
" - CAAAARL, run aw..."
A strange wind who was coming from beside me cut my words.
Book girl is on the trunk of the fallen tree, mumbling something while extending her hands to the sky above the area of the fight.
As i look in the same direction, i resume my shouting.
" - CAAAAARL, RUN WAY NOOOOW !"
A ten meters spike, formed with ice, crash on the body of the beast and skewer her on the spot.

An Unwilling Monster
In the city of Kholakel, the highlight of the year for the upper classes is the annual monster pacification of the misty woods. Ostensibly it's a culling of the monster population to prevent them encroaching on urban areas, but it's an open secret that it's actually treated as more of a blood sport, the participants competing to score the most kills. After all, why else would the politicians and elites of the city bother to attend personally? Given the intense competition and high-tech weapons and gear in use, one might wonder how the forest has not yet been completely depopulated. As this year's culling approaches, a group of unfortunate children are about to discover the answer first-hand, but thanks to an unexpected twist of fate, one of them will score the chance to play the role of the hunter instead of the prey. This was an attempt at writing something darker than my usual fare. The story I actually ended up with isn't as mean to the MC as I'd originally planned out, to the point that I'm not sure the story deserves the horror/grimdark tags anymore, but this is still an unfair world with unambiguously evil antagonists. Chapters are short to start with, but get longer once the first act is over.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
