Chapter 7 – 2nd Evolution
oOo
I closed the evolution screen and moved to a much safer place for evolution, there was a hollowed log so I went inside and block the holes with mucus. When everything was in place, I start the evolution.
It was the same like the last one, but as my consciousness was starting to fade away. The bottom of log where I was crack opened, and stones were starting to cover my entire body. The moment I’ve woke up I was no longer in the log; it was like a cocoon made of from rocks.
|Evolution process complete – Rock Armored Lizard - all attributes gained an additional 50 points. All skills will gain a level.|
|New skills acquired through evolution: [Rock Armor] scales made out of rock that are connected to the bones, these rocks are as strong as the bones and can be shed at will, and will be replaced by new ones. This is a passive skill but will require SP for replacing the shed scales.|
|Eragal Magic : one of the basic elements of magic, the ability to manipulate the land with your will using mana.|
*AN: I used Eragal instead of Earth magic, because Earth is another planet/land. You got my point, this world is Eragal. It’s just the same.*
|Adaptability – Armor Modification – from gaining Eragal Magic, the user can now manipulate its armor through will. Rock Armor will also gain a bonus effect to adapt: by consuming rock/minerals, the consumed mineral will be absorbed by the bones and will be transferred to the armor, making it stronger or even change its molecular structure.| *WOW!! This is so cool, Haha, if I was human right now, I’d be smiling from ear to ear ^^.*
|Adapatability – Skill Evolution – Voracity will be Gluttony – an ability to consume a great amount of food. Additional effect: From the additional effect of Rock Armor Adaptation, stomach’s acidity level will rise, this will help the digestion process of minerals/metals and low density material will break down much faster.|

*I can’t really understand my adaptability skill sometimes, like when I don’t have the Night Vision, I should have gained that skill in the first place because every time was night time in this place. Hmmm must be the level, but how can I grind this skill? Should I go to different environment just to adapt? Sigh. . anyway this skill helps me a lot.*
|Enhanced Senses – Sensations (Sight, Smell, Hearing, Taste, Touch) will be much more powerful and accurate. Night Vision will be fused with Enhanced Senses, skill level raised by one. Adaptability – Rock Armor will have an additional effect from Enhanced Senses : your rock armored scale will have the sense of touch.| *Ow stop it my adaptability skill *not*, I’m loving this so much. This skill is very helpful ^^*

“Ahhh this new feeling is very relaxing, the warmth feeling of power inside my body. Let’s get out of this place.” Using my brute strength I rammed the rock cocoon with my head.
*smash*
I looked around and the place was still the same, except for the draco ground snake from afar that was now gone, and the pieces of wood all around. . wait that was the log that I entered before evolving. I looked at where I exited, and the it really was a cocoon, it was even bigger than I’ve imagine. When I looked at my body, I’ve grown a lot, I mean much more. If I compare my size now to the dead trees, I’m like a small Komodo Dragon.

When I looked at my body, it really was covered with rocks, but the rocks were like randomly odd shaped ones. “Let’s try some of my skills ^^.” First I tried [Armor Modification] *cause I’m one ugly ass rock lizard*, I made my scales like normal shaped scales, then from that I made it more like perfectly shaped pebbles and making the end of the scales to curl up a bit like a fish hook. Modifying the scales on my head, I made two large horns and large spikes around the neck area. To the body, legs and tail, I grow another two curled spikes on each scales making it three spikes per scale that looked similar to a saw teeth. Lastly the end point of my tail, I made it like a spear head with a very sharp edge, and at base of the spear head, I made the spikes larger. It looks like a spear with ball and spike from the medieval times.
I moved around to make some adjustments, so that my new body will be flexible and has its full potential for mobility.
“Yes!! It’s done; I looked more like a dragon than a lizard. *0*”
Second I used [Eragal Magic], *compared to games, and manga, they always have “Earth Magic” even though they’re not on Earth anymore, and the planet was even a different planet. But anyway this planet seems to be Eragal, and Eragal magic works the same way as “Earth Magic” from games.* had enough of talking to myself, I first try to raise the ground, from a small piece of rock and advancing to bigger rocks. I noticed that, the usage of mana was 1MP, for a size of rock that was like 5 grains of sand. *it was so small -_-* I experimented with things like raising the ground, shooting it up, making it levitate *so glad I can do that*, and making it explode.
The usage of mana will be different to what the size of it, what the shape, making it more detailed will consume a little more mana, and what do you do with it. The experiment was exciting but I’ll rest and do more experiment, and to raise its level.
My mana restoration was a bit faster than last time, because of my Intelligence gaining a few bonus points. After I’ve fully recovered my mana, I used all of my past skill, like Bite, Toxic mucus up to poison alchemy, I’ve even combined the newt’s poison and the snakes poison. *but I didn’t gain a new skill, but I’m guessing that the effect of the two will be combined.* Everything was still working even though I have a different body from before.
Now let’s skill grind my [Eragal Magic]. .

Life, the struggle for existence
What would happen when man had to, once again, fight for its own right to live? Would the evolutionary counterparts of our ancestors manage to life through the struggle for survival? What would happen to society if a new reason for living came up, other than the enjoyment of the well-built environment? A reason that could either unite or destroy humanity.This is the struggle for their right of existence.As earth and its inhabitants are faced with the fear of unknown danger and the peril of monstrosities, some will falter, some will die and some will live on to tell the tales of those forgotten. As reality dictates, most will be part of the first two groups and only a small faction will be part of the latter. *This is my first attempt at writing fantasy, so I do hope you’ll enjoy it. The story is one of apocalyptic nature, with gigantic monsters, unfathomable powers and also a critial view on humanity and what it means to be human. I will definitely try to stay away from any tropes that are not neccesary to write fantasy, as I thoroughly despise non-creativity. There shall be no harems, no unrealistic behavior and absolutely no standard scene of dimwitted bandits that try to rob whatever similarly rock-brained princess they encounter. The main character is not black and white, because no human is completely good or completely evil. They’re human, not some idealistic concept of what one is supposed to be. Enjoy!Warning: Tagged 17+ for the occasional strong language and violence, some mild sexual content can occur in the distant future.

A drop of chaos fell on this world? - - / - Book 01The Fall Through Chaos A new day has begun, a day like any other. An unusual group, made up of all kinds of characters and personalities, live another day in their own way. From the simplest and most humble, to the most distorted and irrational. An unusual mix, but actually a very common one. Such a group began a new day, a day like any other in their ordinary lives. At least it was supposed to be that way... ... An unknown phenomenon has brought chaos. Amidst the chaos, common and uncommon people fall into a new world, hailing from a world of modern society.

What kind of changes can these people bring to the world where magical and supernatural forces exist? What will be the future of each of them in this mysterious story? Come with me to travel and discover all this in... Magic x Magic... - - / - Hey, guys! I want to tell everyone that I managed to recreate a text structure that satisfied me. Finding this new structural formula, I proceeded to rewrite all the released chapters (0000~0048). Rewriting the chapters, I would like to make it clear that; 1 The basis of the story will not change. Only a few small details will be changed, so that those readers who do not want to re-read the chapters will not be harmed in following the story. 2 Those interested in starting over will be rewarded with the introduction of new POVs of some already established plots from the already released chapters. And as I said before, the entire story already developed will not change. Treat this as a way of enriching some plots and backstories for some characters. 3 I decided to bring some plots that would only appear after finishing the first arc. These storylines don't have a development in this arc, but they are storylines that are happening at the same time as the events of the first arc. So there are some more mysteries to reward those who will re-read the novel. Rewrite Update:New Reading Aid Rule: Incomplete.Prologue to Book 01 (Arc 01): Incomplete.Rewritten Chapters: 0000. I want to warn you that for now the chapters are being released gradually, don't give up on me... For more details visit my Patreon page, you can find details about me and the novel 'Magic x Magic' in public posts. A big hug to everyone!Cover art by me, ScanLi.

A Cleric's Life for me.
This is a casually written story loosely based on TTRPG games like DnD and Pathfinder. The attempt of the story is to have a slow growth in power and comical set of characters who eventually grow close and set off for more serious adventures. There will be plenty of familiars and funny tales that don't involve combat. The intention is not to be a goody-two-shoes cleric story where nothing bad happens. The intention for this story was a slow paced grungy story where everything seemed great at first and things just kept getting worse. I learned how shitty of a story that is to write and honestly I am just not good enough to get the idea down. I plan on revisiting it later.
