《Ilario》CHAPTER 16: TENEBRIS FOREST
Advertisement
Ilario was falling down from the air, Solaris run up to Ilario and supported his body on time.
“Activate Lumen!” said Luna while using her power of "Light Purify" on Ilario’s body at the same time.
Ilario activated "Lumen" strongly to get rid all of Dark Magic Power inside his body and activate "Recover" to make sure of getting rid any toxic from Dark Magic Power. Fortunately, his magic core is strong at light and healing magic power. He could get rid all of Dark Magic Power but quite exhausted. He used too much power to get rid all of Dark Magic Power inside his body.
“You need to practice ‘Resistant’ until you could automatically activate. It’s dangerous and strong curse, the best way is purified it immediately,” said Luna.
The elves still fighting with the experiment monsters. Ilario still exhausting, he could only protect himself now. Both of Luna and Solaris given him energy, they afraid that Ilario will lost his consciousness in this kind of situation. There is no light energy that he could use "Light Absorption" here, the best way is taken rest for a while.

Go back at the time while Ilario fighting with a Monster Lord, the elves fighting with experiment monsters.
“Oliver, kill all of the small monsters. Antlia, Norma, Sagitta kill the Chimeras, I will deal with a Lycan.” said Lyra.
They all separated to their targets after got command from Lyra.
Antlia activated “Wind Slashing” to cut the lion head of Chimera, it still moving and using its serpent tail to spit poison to Antlia, she dodged and activated Fire Magic on her arrow and shot at the goat head and its body continually until it dead.
Norma activated “Water Bubble” to cover the chimera body, make it suffocated and could not attack back, afterwards, she cut its heads and tail and stabbed its heart.
Sagitta activated Wind Magic to 3 arrows and shot directly to the heads and heart of Chimera at the same time, it breathed fire to Sagitta, she dodged and repeat the shot of arrows until it died.
Lyra fighting with Lycan, it’s more cruel and wild aggressive. Lyra shot an arrow with Fire Magic at its head to attract the Lycan out of area near Ilario. Lyra repeated the arrows shot with Fire Magic continually, it running to Lyra for attacking with its claw, its claw was growing length, Lyra could blocked it with her sword, she activated “Fire Ball” to attack its head, it attacked Lyra aggressively with long claws continually and fast, its movement like human fight and it could attacked and dogged with its tactic. It’s more intelligence than normal Lycan.
Oliver went to support Lyra after killed all of small experiment monsters. He made the bait by shot its back and its legs to attract it out of Lyra.
Lyra cut its body into 2 pieces after Oliver attracted it movement. She activated “Fire Burn” to burn it body to make sure it died completely.

When the elves killed all of the experiment monsters, they found out that Ilario lost his consciousness, they collected all of dead bodies of experiment monsters and evidences in that area. Oliver carried Ilario, all of them leaved the cave and went back to the elves’s village.
Ilario opened his eyes and found out that he on the bed is his room, he feeling fresh of full rested, his body have no effect from the curse.
“Oh my…you woken up. You slept for 3 days. Everyone worried about you. I will prepare you a meal.” said Ms. Carina with relived, she came to check his condition continually since Ilario came back from surveyed.
Both of Luna and Solaris resting beside him, he gotten fast recover because of their energies nearby.
“Anybody hurt?” asked Ilario.
“No. They are great Bellators and have high magic power. They could killed all of monsters without injured.” said Luna.
“What do you think about Monster Lord? Is she a human? She is like a witch.” said Ilario curiously.
“What is “a witch”?” asked Solaris.
“Ah…It’s kind of evil Magus.” said Ilario, he forgot that there is no word meaning of witch in this world.
They both still confusing of his word, but he did not know how to explain it clearly.
“We felt that she have a feeling like you but she has Dark Magic Core instead of Light Magic Core. She is not really pure human, some kind of human mixed with other race.” said Luna.
Ms. Carina knocked the door and came in to give Ilario meal.
“Queen Agnes have something to talk with you, please go to meet her tomorrow.” said Ms. Carina kindly and leaved.
The next day, Ilario went to meet Queen Agnes, he also need to report the details of Monster Lord that he fought at the cave.
“How have you been?” asked Queen Agnes.
“I’m feeling better after got some rest. Thank you, ma’am.” said Ilario.
“I got the report from the survey team, I would like to ask you more details of Monster Lord that you fought with.” said Queen Agnes.
Ilario reported all details when he fought with the Monster Lord to Queen Agnes.
“She is not one of Monster Lord in the book of “How to kill Monsters”, as I asked Luna and Solaris, they said that she might be some kind of mixing race like me but she has dark magic core instead.” said Ilario.
“Thank you for your information. I guessed that she might a Mysterious Monster Lord that escaped from the monsters suppression in the past. She did not showed up herself at that time, that why there is no record about her. I suspected that she must be a one who behind all of monsters creation, it’s high possibility because there are monsters up until now.” said Queen Agnes.

“I wondered why there are Dark Magic Stones mine in Magnus Forest, as I read on “The History of Magnus Forest”, the forest are plenty of natural and have a great energy.” said Ilario.
“That’s right, after the survey team came back and report, I sent Globus and Marius to check and destroy the cave. That cave have been processed not long before a century, they used alchemy to make Dark Magic Stones including speed up its process to make the Dark Magic Stones have high of darkness energies, in other words, the Dark Magic Stones in that cave did not occurred from natural but alchemy process from the Mysterious Monster Lord. — And they chosen that area because they knew that the elves did not strict on guard at that area.” said Queen Agnes “Did you know about Tenebris Forest?”
“No, ma’am.” said Ilario, he never heard of it before.
“Magnus Forest is a great forest in The South World that you have been read in “The History of Magnus Forest”. Tenebris Forest is the same but located in The West World, its natural also different from Magnus Forest, Tenebris Forest is dry forest, plenty of caves and mountains and the source of darkness energies. Its boundary is close to northwest of Magnus Forest. — All of monsters in the past came from Tenebris Forest, that why we are strongly guarding at that area instead of the northeast area.” said Queen Agnes. “Let’s say that the Mysterious Monster Lord is quite intelligent and genius, she could hidden herself and experimented the monsters in secret up until now, that means, she have much power and knowledge of darkness.”
Ilario leaved while thinking of the way to make him more stronger as soon as possible, he knew really well that the Mysterious Monster Lord did not used all of her power when she cursing him but she might thought that he could die from that cursed. She disappeared because she also got high damage from our attacked.

Ilario (12 years old), at the north of Magnus Forest.
Ilario shot the arrow at head of X-Ursa, a monstrous bear, it was moving aggressively after got one shot of arrow at its head, Ilario shot the arrows continually at its head and its heart, its movement was slower. Ilario activated “Invisible” and went near X-Ursa, slashed its neck with his two dagger knives, its head were cut off, he stabbed its heart continually, burned and destroyed dark magic stone inside its body with “Lumen”.
After the incident at the cave 2 years ago, there is no experiment monster showing up but the monstrous wild animals are increasing, they are breeding in fast late and its behaviour are more aggressive, like they are always upgrading themselves.
Ilario trained hard to increase the stamina of his physical body in the passed 2 years, he hunted and killed low level monsters without using magic power, his body was grew up fast and much more stronger. He realised himself after fought with a Mysterious Monster Lord, he could not handled his magic power well at that time, that why he easily exhausted and could not recovered in fast rate. Now, his body have much stamina as same as his stamina at 15 years old in The Practice World and reach to the point that matching with his Magic Core. He has no more problem of magic power handling and exploding.
In the mean time, Luna and Solaris did not help Ilario in any fights but drained his magic power instead because he has too much power in the body that could not handle it well, they said it could helped him to balance his power. In this way, Luna and Solaris’s power were increasing continually and it was help Ilario increasing his magic power indirectly and not effect to his body. Furthermore, Luna help Ilario to train the auto activation of Healing Magic Power, now, all of healing abilities could be automatically activate by itself. He just need to concentrated on fighting without worry of any poison or curse from the monsters and Dark Magic Power.
Lyra and Oliver leaved Ilario to hunt alone after one year of hunting together, they said that they had nothing to worry about him, and hunting alone is one kind of best training. They have a lot of duty after the incident at the cave. They have to survey more in details because it might be sign of the returning of Diabolus.
Antlia, Norma and Sagitta always greet Ilario when they met him after the incident at the cave, they are busy with the survey duty but always talk to him when they have time.
After hunted, Ilario planned to go to a festival in the city of Artis. Artis is the territory that have boundary close to Magnus Forest. Oliver often taken him to suburb village of Artis to sell the wild animals that we hunted. — Ilario knew about the festival from the village chief. He have a lot of money after sold all of his preys in the passed 2 years, he will use it in this festival, it’s been a long time that he could be relax after hard training continually for 7 years, if he counted the years in The Practice World, it would be totally 12 years.
Ilario wearing cloak with hood, he found out at the first time when he went to the suburb village, the villagers were surprised of his appearance. Most of the people in Artis have blonde, brown and silver hair. The black hair is signature of Fortis Family and the lord of Artis also relative of Fortis.

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.

Lady of Beasts
Magic has vanished from the modern world, relegated to 'biased accounts' and fairy tales. It has no place in the world of heroes and science. Or so the modern people thought. They would be proven wrong, as one of the eldest lineages of the magical world is revived, to once more aim for dominion over the world of magic and man. Update: 19.4.2021: Revised paragraph formatting to ease the reading experience. Feedback is appreciated! Update: 16.07.2021: The last chapter is written! The title has also been changed, from "Return of Magic, Ascendance of the Old Blood", to "Lady of Beasts". [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

TRX's Adventures
Set during the 1980s, it narrates the daily life of Mathias, a boy with "psychic powers", and his friends, which ends when something happens that changes the course of our protagonist's life. ... This is titled this way because some letters of the characters' names form the TRX of the title... Although there is one character who literally has that name, it is also named after her. Ah, and if some parts sounds a bit weird because of some words, tell me. This also contains some simple drawings made by me. This is going to have a lot of edits, apparently.... And maybe I'll add a couple of stuff. I'll try to make this be good... Or, at least, fun. ... Also, the older version will stay, but it kind of spoils the plot (although it changed in many ways), so if you want to read it before this... Do it at your own risk.
