《A human's tale》Demons come knocking
Advertisement
Year 488.
A white cat and Rayhan were drinking wine and merrily talking about the happenings in this world.
"Big Bro, That Mutaito fella has reached a power level of 370. He is a fucking genius." Rayhan said. He had long introduced Karin to the power system.
"You say he is a genius. Indeed he is. But I don't think his dream of beating you will ever come true." Karin said.
"Of course, it won't. I am leagues ahead of him. Even my wife might defeat him in a decade or so." Rayhan boasted.
"Oh. Is that so? How is everything at home?" Karin asked.
"Pretty good. My kid still doesn't look a day over 10. He doesn't train much as well but decent battle power. Wives are fine. Parents are the same as always. Masters martial arts has stagnated recently. I think the old man doesn't have long. By the way big bro, you are a god, right?" Rayhan asked.
"Yeah. I am the lowest in the hierarchy though." Karin said.
"Does the afterlife have a merits accumulation system?" he asked.
"Of course, how would they judge people otherwise?" Karin answer a question with a question.
"Hmm. Is there a procedure to transfer my merit points to someone else's?" He asked.
"It should be possible with the consent of both parties. Also, Kami should support you as well. But again, Kami owes you a favor. He will probably help. Who do you want to transfer your merit to anyways?" Karin asked.
"My mom. My dad helped deal with Piccolo and he also participated in the demon's invasion. He has been going out and collecting merits for the last 2 decades. So, if he gains merit in another battle. He should be granted a body in the afterlife. However, my mother probably doesn't have any merits points. She does not want all of this. She doesn't even know about this." He said.

"Kami can help you with this matter," Karin suggested.
"Anyways, Can you teach me how to grow Senju beans? I will hire students to especially grow them." Rayhan asked.
"Hmm. Not possible. Senju can not grow in this dimension. There is a door to another dimension that lies between the earth and the afterlife. Senju can only grow there." Karin explained.
"That's how it is. It seems all the actual good things grow in another dimension. I wonder what kind of mystical fruits and plants grows in the afterlife." Rayhan said aloud while pondering.
Suddenly, Rayhan felt a demonic aura. He looked at Karin and said, "Isn't it 13 years too early for the demon realm's gate to open? What is happening?"
"Hmm. Let me check." He went to see in his water jar.
"All the martial artists will notice this sooner or later and gather in the northern region. I think It will take a month to open." Rayhan said.
"Yup the seal is being cracked. This time perhaps terrifying demons might enter. Simple demons can not crack the seal. There are at least 2 demons with a battle power of 800-900. Only you, your family, and Mutaito will be able to take on truly strong demons. If they appear that is. But the cracking of the seal indicates that stronger demons have arrived." Karin said.
"Is it possible that because the previous kami left? It somehow affected the seal." Rayhan said.
"Very likely. Mr. Popo and the new kami will have to seal it again." Karin said.
"Okay, I am going home now. Need to prepare for this storm." He said and flew off.
At home, everyone was gathered.
"Everyone, the demon's gate at the northern capital is going to be destroyed. Something feels off about this. There are probably strong demons. We are the strongest power that humanity has to offer. We can not shirk away from this. We need a game plan for this. Fanfan you have already learned the super-human transformation to 2X multiplier. So, you focus on raising your power level to 330. Annin you have the best talent and your battle power is the second-highest. Yet you have not perfected super-human transformation. You do that. Don't slack off. This concerns a lot of lives. Master, Go for super-human transformation. Father, your battle power has stagnated at 330 for quite a while, use this pressure to break through the shackle. Mother, you should not go. Your power level is not enough. However, you should work on super-human transformation. In case any of the demons slip through, you should be able to protect yourselves with that much. And Finally you, Brat, if you don't get to the power level of 200 by the end of the month. I will tie you and throw you into the ocean. Don't look at mother. She won't help you this time." He laid out the basic plan in front of them.

Even if Rayhan didn't stop the demons, Mr. Popo would stop the demons from wiping out humanity. But at what cost? Only if humanity was on the verge of extinction would Mr. Popo help. Gods would not intervene so easily.
So went back to Karin's tower and asked Karin for 200 Senju beans which Karin owed him. He asked for the bell, and power pole and enter the lookout.
A black man was flowering the plants, a green goblin was frowning at something. When he reached the top of the lookout, the giant goblin turned around and said, "You have come. I had been expecting you for a long time but you have only come today. Why have you come?"
"The seal on the entrance to demon world has cracked. It will probably open in a month. So, I have come here to train. So that grow to stronger and ensure minimum casualty." He replied.
"Oh. The entrance will open up in 40 days to be exact." Kami said
"Can you make weighted clothes for me? You should be able to do it right? I will train myself for now." He said.
A yellow beam shot towards him and he felt a bit heavier.
"Heavier," He said.
Again Kami increased their weight.
"Heavier," He said.
Rayhan only stopped when he was at his limits.
From that onwards, he didn't eat, didn't sleep, and trained for 38 days straight without a break with the help of Senju beans. During this period he increased his load 2 times. His power level rose by 40 points in a single month. The next day he reached the northern region with his family and friends. He slept the last day for 20 hours.
Slowly, the demonic ki started getting heavier and heavier. Finally, 4 demons walked out of the abyss-like door. They were incredibly strong individually. They were followed by 500 normal demons. The strongest had a power level of 950. The remaining 3 had a power level of 700, 700, and 800.
"Annin, Father, you guys go for 800 one."
"Fanfan stall time, use the bean."
"Master stall time as well. There is no need to worry. I will finish my battle in a jiffy. And Mutaito, You go all out from the start and minimize the casualties." He ordered everyone there.
Everyone had found their opponent.
The battle was going to start.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead
The cycle is simple enough. A Dungeon Core is born from a wayward soul. It seeks power and agency, and works to accumulate wealth to fuel its power, in turn using this power to accumulate further wealth. Inevitably, the mind is lost as desperation and ambition drive it to commit darker and darker acts. Shortly thereafter, the adventurers arrive to quell the core. This is a tale that has repeated itself countless times throughout history: all cores desire power. And yet, this core seems to have it backwards. It doesn't want to rule the world. It has no desire to enslave or conquer. No, this core doesn't want to be a warlord, a villain, or a tyrant. It wants to start a core-poration. After all, when money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core that wastes an absurd amount of time and effort trying not to be evil on his journey to earn fat stacks against all odds. -This is a 'Dungeon Core' type fiction with LitRPG elements in it. The start may be fairly slow compared to the average. Expect roughly 2.5k per chapter. -I'm only a hobbyist writer. As such, there may be the occasional error and pacing may be poorly-handled. Constructive criticism is alway welcome. I'm just here to write stuff that makes my brain release the g o o d c h e m i c a l s. -I am trashy and I like monsterpeople so you can expect an awful lot of those as we get further in. Thank you for reading this far, and I hope you enjoy.

Shadows in the Dawn Mist
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - Winner November 2020 When a young woman is lured back to her homeland for the opportunity of a life time, she must face old fears. But never would she think that facing up to her past would change everything. Is History written by the victors, or by someone or something else...? *** I started writing this a few years ago and eventually fell out of love with it. I never finished it and my newer books are being written in different writing style, and genre with a more planned process. I decided to revisit it for the writathon and found that it wasn't as hopeless as I'd come to think. Hopefully, I've improved as a writer since them so the consistency may vary. Its been good to revisit and analyse my writing which I feel used to have some clunky and obvious dialogue which I'm trying to fix. This will always be my first novel and I hope, with a little exposure, I may come to like it again. Thanks for reading!
