《Empress' Evolution》3. Useless Goddess
Advertisement
[That is good.]
The contract between the two had been established, and Lilith would honor this without fail. She lived by killing and deceiving people, but rarely did she agree to a contract. Because if she accepted one, Lilith would do everything in her power to complete the agreement, such were the ways of the venomous snake. Or was it? No one really knows other than herself and the Goddess observing her.
While everything was going good, she asked Alpha a lot of crucial questions to get accustomed to the situation.
She especially questioned what kind of being she was.
From the words of Alpha, this Ash Leopard was just one of her forms, and soon enough, she managed to grasp everything.
[All of it lies in the use of the System that you have been personally bestowed upon. Though this System is rather... unique]
And because humanity also had a similar ability, she grasped it reasonably quickly and managed to open her 'status.'

This was her first form, the Ash Leopard. Its status was meant for a Hunter, it was pretty agile, and it has good vitality. It had a weak MAG (magic), so it must be incapable of using magic that much, and considering its STR (strength), it was pretty pitiful for a hunt.
She decided to increase its AGT stats for future escapes and ambushes.
"The attribute is Water and lightning. I must say, that is a fun combination. Suffocation through Water and torture with lightning should be really interesting."
Lilith confirmed the stats of the Ash Leopard and initiated the change of form. She only needed to think about it, and her body would change; with but a single thought of wanting to change into her next form, Lilith transformed.

From a feline, she turned into a loli that was about the size of a one-year-old. She was around 70 centimeters tall and weighed approximately ten kilograms.
Her pale white skin, dainty little hands, and her soft black hair were her current form's characteristics. In the past, her beauty was alluring and devilish, but this time it was the exact opposite.
She was cute, in a heavenly defying manner. She was too cute for her own good. Even without seeing her own face, she could tell by touching and feeling her facial features.
A little nose, round eyes, a soft and round face, and even if she couldn't tell right now, her eyes should be sparkly. How could she tell? It was a loli, and she had read about [One Horns'] documentation before, so she was pretty sure.
In her past life, she adored adorable creatures. Though she also loved seeing the entrails of her enemies scattered on the ground, the sight of a cute and adorable creature was comforting.

"Oh, this time, the stats are different. Will I have different stats with every form? Hehe, this is turning into a bargain. One life three bodies; three different sets of specialties, how wonderful is that? Wait, I can talk! Hell yeah! I am almost human-like, and if I can hide my horn, I can blend in and kill some people if they let their guard down."
She may be adorable on the outside, but her heart and mind weren't. It was still the mind of the venomous snake feared by everyone.

However, even when she made a devious and smile, the only reaction she would receive will be demonstrated by Alpha:
[Aw, you are cute, I must say.
Haha, that was pathetically terrifying, like a child that had formulated a plan on how to escape nap time. How dubious indeed. In fact, the only thing terrifying about that is how you managed to look cute and become the fresh meat on some paedophile's/lolicon's list. Keep it up.]
"I'll poison them if they touch me even the tiniest bit." Lilith said back.
Alpha mocked, and Lilith casually retorted back. She was getting used to dealing with her personality.
Lilith observed her stats; it was clear that she was attuned to become a Sorceress. That insane amount of Mana alone was something of a gift from the heavens.
But in her skill, she noticed something truly bizarre. Nature's Beauty, just what kind of powerful spell was that?
"Is that some kind of mythical ability cast only by the strongest of Sorceress?"
She asked Alpha as she observed the only SSS-tier skill she had seen in this life.
Alpha was momentarily silent.
[...It can be called the greatest if you look at it from an angle. It is cast to create a powerful show that shall let a group of people gets distracted in a momentary state of bliss and enjoyment. And if you use it effectively, you will be able to gather the attention of hundreds of people to yourself.]
Lilith drew in a sharp breathe after hearing the description of the skill.
"It is that powerful? Such a powerful illusion skill; that Goddess is truly generous. But will it not upset the balance of the world if someone like me wields it?"
[Nah, it is a party trick used in entertaining Goddess, so you don't have to worry about disrupting any balance.]
Upon hearing the words of Alpha she Lilith had to ask.
"Huh? Party Trick? I am sure you mean the kind of buff that activates when I have people by my side, right? So, it can boost morale or something?"
[Yes and no, it can boost morale in a banquet, but on a battlefield, you will look like a clown. But hey, if you waste so much MP and make a fool out of yourself, they might die laughing, so why don't you give it a shot later?]
"So it was fucking useless?!"
She cursed and remembered her reverie towards the Goddess, and she cussed at it inside her mind.
[Status: Furious]
'Gift me a useful skill, not a useless fucking party trick! You useless Goddess, you!'
She sighed after letting her emotions flow out together with a volley of curses. Then, she moved forward, and her status returned to being calm. The thought of her next and last form popped inside her mind, and she remembered its name.
"Ravager Salamander!" Such was her next form, "It is a Dragon! Or its lower self at least."
She had heard the stories and documentaries of the one they call the Ravager. They have scales that are as tough as Mythril, Fangs capable of crushing a mountain, and wings enveloping two mountains.
That's the Ravager.
Even if it is not a Dragon, surely its devolved form would be formidable as well.
Lilith looked around, trying to see if she has enough space. She was ready; she was prepared to finally experience the power of the glorious Ravager.
"Ravager Salamander!" she screamed out loud to match the glory of her form, "Huh? Why is the grass around me taller?"
Lilith was confused, and slowly, reality came started settling in!
Instead of becoming a towering Dragon, she had become a Newt.
'Ravager? Dragon? Salamander?'
[Status: Confuse, Sad, Disappointed]

Helena's Plane
Paul, a bored young man, wakes up in a white room. A young woman tells him he has died, that she is some kind of god who likes videogames and he will be reborn in an RPG-esque world so she and her fellow god-friends can watch him for entertainment.Unfortunately, the goddess forgot to give Paul most of the obligatory, obvious cheat-abilities to make him rush to power in easy mode. Paul embraces his new life full of clichés, perverts, magic, loot and action. And animal girls.18+ !CONTAINS GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL CONTENT! (Actual sex is still hard to find, but you will get it. Eventually. Sporadically.) =================Author's note:So, this is my very first novel. It will be poorly written, has a huge info-dump disguised as a first chapter (to be rewritten. At some point in the future. I guess.), and may or may not offend everyone for different reasons. Perhaps you will just find it boring, which would be even worse. The description turned out a bit comedic, but the story isn't overly so.I have a rough idea of where this will be going, but expect some bumps on the road, as well as logic holes, flat characters and a lot of borderline copyright infringements from all the ideas I got reading other works. And did I mention I'm not a native speaker? No? Well, expect some embarrassing grammar and wording choices.The main character is a more or less normal guy, without high morals, martial arts skills or even a desirable goal in life. There is mature content, in terms of violence and sexual content. It won't become a full-blown erotic novel, and it may or may not be your cup of tea when it comes to the type of content.Critics welcome.

The question that remains is where will the winding road that is his future take him? Will he study for countless years to become one of the Holy Mages? Will he strive to become a knight and fight his way up to the fabled Throne of the Battle Saint Pietra? Will he become the finest craftsman to have ever graced Estoch?

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
