《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.

Ancient Bones: The Changed Ones book 1 (Post-Post Apocalypse LitRPG)
Is it truly an RPG Apocalypse... if no one can see the RPG? Generations after the Fall, Mankind has achieved a balance in a world it is no longer the master of. But your prospects in this Malthusian world are limited. Johanna Milton and her friends have an answer: delve into Ancient ruins, avoid Changed beasts and mana pockets, and salvage Ancient materials, collectibles, and trinkets to sell. It pays well if you avoid the perils of the Ancient world. But when they find the skeleton of an Ancient, their lives take a strange turn. Suddenly, Talents straight out of fantasy novels become theirs. While they try to make sense of what happens, eyes turn to them, to the four who seem to break all rules. Or are they merely following them? Because, in the Beyond where he's spent 150 years waiting, one dead Ancient knows the truth. Douglas Moore has played those games often enough when he was alive to make sense of the System that rules the Changed world. He can no longer act on his own, but he has access to the Interface. And four people for which he can bring whatever it takes to face the world. Change is coming. The Changed Ones is a slow-burn litrpg fantasy trilogy (Ancient Bones, Ancient Books, Ancient Bonds) set on Earth, 150 years after the RPG Apocalypse... which mostly failed. It is an homage to the venerable ancient RPGs of the Golden Box era, the Baldur's Gates, and many others, offering adventure where You must gather your party before venturing forth. Keywords: LitRPG, realistic setting, low-leveling, post-post-apocalypse, fantasy earth, slow-burn, secondary POVs, female primary MC, team adventure, worldbuilding. Trigger warnings: casual swearing, adult innuendo (no explicit scenes whatsoever, though). Oh, and potentially a bit of politics. Bonus content: a Litrpg Easter Egg hunt. With lots of eggs across the book, some easy, some hard to find. Current score: 6/20 (20 eggs, 6 found) Publication schedule: on hold until September for book 2.
