《Rise Of The Worm Sovereign》Egg?
Advertisement
Lin Wu was a normal university student that was majoring in biology. He lived his life as average as anyone could. His likes and dislikes were very similar to other people of his age. He liked video games, anime, comics, novels, dramas, and all such things. And of course, he was also a single dog just to add a cherry on top.
It was the day before his finals and he had been grinding hard and cramming all he could before the morning came.
"Oh damn, I should have at least started a week earlier. Why do I always torture myself like this?" Lin Wu said to himself.
One could see disposable cups of coffee and cans of energy drinks lying on his table and also around him. One would think that these were accumulated over a few days, but it was not so. Lin Wu had been binging on coffee and energy drinks to keep himself awake and his mind running.
He had already had a way too high a dose of caffeine and his hands were shaking with tremors, yet he did not stop and was still feeling sleepy and drowsy. Lin Wu glanced over to the bed that was opposite to his and saw his roommate sleeping soundly.
Unlike Lin Wu, his roommate was a model student who was free from the 'Influences that plagued the youths of today'. He did not play video games, and neither did he spend any time on hobbies. He was at the peak of what one could call a prodigal scholar.
"Bloody Normie. Leaving me alone to study." Lin Wu cursed.
Lin Wu's eyes then wandered over to the mini-fridge that was located on the other side of the bed. His eyes lit up with a greedy glint as he kept on staring at the mini-fridge.

"Hehehe, I'll just give you a little punishment for leaving me alone to study. If we are roommates, then we should suffer together, my pain is your pain." Lin Wu said with a slightly creepy tone.
Lin Wu then sneaked to his roommates' table and picked up a long ruler that was placed on his table. He used the ruler and slid it in the gap between his roommate's mattress and head board. Skillfully using the ruler without making any noise, Lin Wu pulled out a small key chain that was hidden by his roommate.
~Hehehe~
Lin Wu took the key in his hand and silently laughed.
"Now all the contents of your mini-fridge are mine." Lin Wu muttered.
He then used the key and unlocked the door of the mini-fridge. As soon as he opened the door of the mini-fridge, the shining cans of energy drinks illuminated his eyes.
"You've been hiding the Special Limited Edition 'Ultra boost energy Elixir series' from me all this time. But no more, I claim these as mine now." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
The 'Elixir series' was a brand of energy drink that was widely popular among people currently and was a favorite of Lin Wu. The can that he was holding in his hand was a special limited edition version that was recently released but was very hard to find. Lin Wu had stood in the line for hours but still could not buy it.
The energy drink that he had in his hand was claimed to be a thousand percent more powerful than any brand on the market and was said to the best to drink while studying and working.
Lin Wu popped open the can of 'Ultra boost energy Elixir series' and his mouth started drooling.
"Finally with this, I shall overcome the tribulation that is the 'Final Exam'." Lin Wu proclaimed.

And with this, he took his first sip. Intense joy spread across his body as his mind entered a state of euphoria.
"Delicious! I can feel the energy coursing through me." Lin Wu exclaimed.
He then chugged the entire can and sat down to study. He could feel his mind working faster and faster until when finally the words started to come out of his textbook.
"Ahhh, such is the power bestowed by the 'Ultra boost energy Elixir series'." Lin Wu uttered with jubilation.
Lin Wu could see the words forming images in front of him in the air, which would then enter his mind. But every time these entered his brain, he felt a throbbing pain in his body.
"This is but just the pain of success." Lin Wu affirmed to himself.
He kept on reading for an unknown amount of time until when finally; he started to feel incredibly cold.
"Why is it so cold all of a sudden, this is the middle of Summer?" Lin Wu wondered.
He was just about to stand up to close the window, when he discovered that he could not move at all. His body felt as if it was frozen.
'Wha-what's happening to me? Did I overdraw on my brain?' Lin Wu thought to himself.
He tried to speak but found that he was unable to do that either. Resigning himself to his fate, he let go.
"Ah, I've already studied enough to pass the test in the morning. I should just take a nap till then, I'll be fine in the morning." Lin Wu spoke to himself in his mind.
And with these as his last words that went completely unheard, Lin Wu entered his final slumber.

"Huh, did the power go out? Why is it so dark here?" Lin Wu thought.
Lin Wu looked around, but all he could see was darkness everywhere.
"But wait, even if the power went out it should not be this dark, it should be morning now." Lin Wu said to himself in a confused tone.
He then tried to move and discovered that he could barely move. In fact, he could not even feel his limbs, all he could feel was his torso.
"Did I sleep wrong and block the blood circulation to my limbs?" Lin Wu muttered to himself.
He thought that waiting for a while should fix it, but even after five minutes he still could not feel his limbs. Getting desperate at this moment, he decided to call for help.
"HELP! I can't move. I can't feel my limbs." Lin Wu shouted, but no words came out.
Lin Wu then realised that all he had been speaking till now, was only in his mind. No words were actually coming out of his mouth.
~Ding~
Suddenly a ding sound was heard in Lin Wu's mind as if it was a notification from his smartphone.
"What's this?" Lin Wu thought to himself as a window suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gores, Sexual Contents, and Traumatising Contents are limited and I try my best not to write them. However, for the progress of the story, I can't help but write some of them in the latter part of the story. However, don't expect them too much ^_^ English is not my native language, so there might be grammatical errors (maybe a lot), but I'll try to fix them, so constructive critiques will be appreciated (^_^)

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
