《Human Nature Never Change.》Chapter 12 "Battle of the Snails"
Advertisement
Seth was lying on the gravel floor in complete darkness, his stats once again zero, after thoughtlessly accepting. Why did he not learn? He had done this once before, was he going to die like this? Before fear took him "" Seth Said, just to confirm that he really had fucked up, and seeing he had 20 unspent points, he at least could see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. He needed to make smart choices, he needed too not fuck this up or he may end up dead this time. He had just been too lucky so far.
Carefully he looked through his information; the reason he still had 20 points unspent was that Native had turned into Evolved, doubling the base cost from 10exp to 20exp, but it would now siphon off 10% of any exp earned. But the experience already gained was still there, he could not say the same for the other professions, they all started at zero, and only Shadow-BattleMage was unlocked, the others were marked with [locked] and [Hidden]. First, he evenly distributed the point, adding an extra point to strength, dexterity, intelligence, and wisdom. He was a battlemage now and needed Health, Stamina and Mana evenly. He could not find his fire spell or light spell anymore instead he found and .
He started feeling his way, unsure of what the next step would bring him. On the one hand, he had his pickaxe and everything else as if changing clothes in the castle never had happened. Looking around feeling the stats changing his body back to something movable again. He looked closely around himself, he could see small bluish-green lights around in the cave, but they were like stars on a cloudy night shy. He moved closer to one and could see that it was a snail, with its shell luminescent, Seth slowly made his way closer to one.

"Fuck", Seth said as something bit him, 12 health points gone in an instant. He jumped back and it stopped bitting him, or it was more like a nibble to be more precise. It could not have been the snail or could it? Shit, how much health did he have? 37 total was the answer, and 25 left, it would only take about 2 more bits to kill him or maybe just once dependent on what happened. with a regen of 0,17 per minute, it would take, it would take, 100 minutes was 17 health points, and that made about an hour to be back up to health, that was not that bad had it not been for the fucker bitting him was still close by.
Thinking Seth used the most basic logic there was, glowy thing hurts don't be close to the glowy thing. Good logic, sound logic. But looking around himself, he could see a lot more "stars". And the only thing he had as a weapon was a pickaxe, trying to navigate past them Seth fell at times, tripping on rocks, the fifth time doing so he grabs a handful of stones throwing them across the cave.
he threw more stones; more massages got back to him.
....
Thirty-one more times, until he could not feel his way too more rocks close by, this must be how Sarah had felt, forced to feel her way through it, fearing the uncertainty of what was just outside of her reach, and lastly not being able to know what was close by without hearing it. Even if Seth had the "stars" around him, he was still afraid, and paranoia is always voicing its concern in the back of his head. It was terrifying and unpleasant.
With this, Shadow-BattleMage had leveled twice, and Evolved once, giving him an additional 30 points.

He added 15 more points to his stats, now everything had 4 points except Constitution, Intelligence and Wisdom that had 5 points, and he brought

As he activated it and walked closer to one of the glowy snails, he could now see that he needed a little light to use the skill so that something cast a small shadow, and he could is the nasty rats walking and hunting inside the shadows. The price of using this skill was not even that bad, he had about 100 Mana, with 2,33 Regen, so he could have had this skill activated at all times had it not been for the stamina cost at five mana per minute. Were he had 87 total and a regen of 1,93 stamina per minute. The skill range incrested by 100% of its base every level, 10 meters radius, then 20, and so on.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
