《The Network》[Chapter 3] Power
Advertisement
This is it, my chance.
But...it's strangely similar to crusader of a dark moon.
"He had something called a system-"
Congratulations! You have earned the skill: [Acute mind].
Your mind has been enhanced to the pinnacle of human potential granting you an eidetic memory, accelerated learning aptitude, and excellent tactical sense.
You can activate the ability by thinking [Acute mind] and shot it off by thinking [off]
I read the message over and over again in utter disbelief.
So...is it that easy to get a [Skill]?
Is [The Network] connected with manga and comics?
Do I now have perfect recall?
Multiple unanswered questions flooded my mind
Okay, for know-
[Status page]-
Name: Felix Sharpe
Race: [Human] [?] [?]
Level: [1]
Vitality: [2]
Strength: [2]
Dexterity: [1]
Wisdom: [5]
Endurance/Durability: [2]
Agility: [2]
Intelligence: [5]
Vogue: [0]
[Skills]: [Acute Mind] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-] [-]
Another box followed promptly after that.
[Health page]-
[Health] - 1 / 2
[Health regeneration] - x1 (Normal)
Felix looked over the [Status page] and [Health page] in a strange mix of shock and exitment.
Some were obvious to understand like [Strength] and [Intelligence].
Some less so like [Dexterity] which is a skill in performing tasks, especially with the hands. [Vitality] is the state of being healthy and active.[Endurance] and [Durability] is how much strain and damage someone can take and for how long.
I was at least proud to say that my [Wisdom] and [Intelligence] was beyond normal...or at least that is what I would have said if I knew what other people's stats were...others could have stats in the hundreds.
...But there are three things I don't understand
1) What is vogue? I have never heard about it anywhere and why do I only have 0.

2) It seems like there is a limited amount of [Skills] that I can obtain - [Skill slots]. It looks like there are only 9 places left. I can only get 9 more [Skills]. That is a major problem.
3) Why are there two boxes after my race? What are they supposed to mean?
Those are the 3 questions I just can't get my head around.
Emergency! Due to the poisonous air, 2 [Health] points will be lost every day.
I glanced at the message and shrugged.
I froze.
"What were my [Health] points again?
[Health] - 1 / 2
I'll be dead in 12 hours.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

Curiosity
This is the story of a broken man in a broken world. Only, he knows his situation, but the world does not. He never got to live the life he wanted, instead being taken prisoner by an evil group, tortured and being used, until one day he died. Now, he has come back in time with his knowledge for the future, determined to live his life as he wanted in this nefarious, magic world. Through any means possible. ------------------ Now the actual synopsis. This is a world of magic, beasts and myriads of races. The protagonist, Lukas, is a man with a twisted personality, having become like that after being used by the big people, and is now ready to say 'fuck it' and live in freedom. He dies, goes back in time, but uses his knowledge to steal, kill, and use anything he can to become stronger. May he succeed. ++++++++++++++ For the first few chapters there will be two per week, each at about 4-5k words (it settles at 4k from about chapter 9). This is my first novel, but I quite like it and I hope you do too. While I would like you to be gentle, please give any criticism you have.
