I learned all 4 element mastery (unlike sorcerer who can only learn two, I can learn all 4). After saying goodbye and checking my class, I go to the potion shop and bought several potion. I also need to change my equipment, so I drop by the weapon shop.
When I get the copycat skills, I want to learn [Cross Slash+], but then I remember about Lily. Healing spell is the first on my priority list, so I decided to buy an orb.
Glass Orb
P.Atk : 1
M.Atk : 5
Durability : 20/20
An orb made of glass, commonly used by an apprentice magician.
After preparation was done, I go to the fountain to meet up with the other party member. As usual, this place is filled with people advertising their items or party gathering.
I walk towards the old man who keeps feeding bread crumbs to the birds near the fountain.
"Hello, sir. Do you like birds?"

"..."
"Umm... Sir?"
"..."
He didn't respond. I wonder if there's some sort of trigger for it? At that time, Tatsu appeared with Lily.
"Yo, Ren. How did it go?"
"How did what go?"
"Your class change. How did it go?"
"Oh, about that. I changed to elementalist. So I'm pretty much became a mage."
"Elementalist! Didn't you know? Elementalist doesn't have high tier spells! "
"I know! Even so, I still became one."
"Well, I'm not going to probe any further. Yuu and Lilith haven't arrived yet?"
Lily is a silent person, she doesn't talk at all during Tatsu interrogation. When she shielded me before, I notice she had a pointy ear. Should I ask her?
"Lily."
"..."
"Oiiii, Lily!"
"Huh, what? Did you call me?"
"What are you looking at?"
She doesn't even turn her head! This guy girl, she's drooling over the sight of people queuing in front of garrison camp. I turn my gaze to follow what she's seeing. When I take a closer look, there're a lot of beastlike character with cat and wolf ear.
"Gu he he he... She's cute, that guy's cute too. Ah, that one with a curled tail is also adorable. He... He he he..."
She has lost it, her sanity. This is what happen when you put an animal lover inside this reality. She's trembling with excitement, just like an addict with drugs.
I turn my head towards Tatsu and he just shrugs his head. So, even for Tatsu, Lily is a hopeless case.
5 minutes later Yuu and Lilith arrived. It seems they're arguing about something.
"Like I said, your personality is rotten! To hit on every female you met is stupid."
"What is so wrong about calling a cute girl cute. It is human nature to praise a beautiful things."
"Human nature my ass. What kind of person speaks so bluntly in public that he loves pantyhouse!"
"I'm just being honest. Isn't honesty a good thing."
"What kind of good thing comes from telling a stranger that you like her choice of underwear!?"

"Oh, senpai. Did you wait long?"
Yuu starts running, but Lilith caught him by the neck.
"Don't you dare! I'm not done yet!"
*cough... cough...
'That looks painful.'
Yuu keeps running over here, dragging Lilith who is holding onto his neck. It looks like a cat desperately hanging on a running bear. A combination of a giant and a shorty.
"Yo senpai."
"Is she okay?"
"It's fine, she's as wild as a boar or in this case a cat. She'll regain her energy in a little while."
"Yuu, how is it?"
"It went okay. I became a guardian without any trouble whatsoever."
"Had you change your equipment?"
"Yeah, just changed my sword when I ran into shorty."
"Don't call me shorty! "
She wakes up from the dizziness, but still somewhat shaky. She can't stand straight. Lily helps her up while keep muttering something. She's spooky.
After confirming our preparation, we start heading to the south gate. On the way, we met a few other players chit-chatting in the middle of the road.
“F*ck that goblin commander! To think we’re ambushed by a bunch of goblins.”
“I never thought I would stumble on a goblin nest just like that.”
“Tsk... Let’s go get some more members to hunt that fr**kin goblins.”
“Yeah, although I’m almost dead, I got the dungeon marked in my map. It’s near the forest clearing.”
Ohhh, my ears perked up when I heard the word goblin nest. To think they’re discussing this kind of thing in the middle of the road. Didn’t they know that goblin commander is a rare monster?
I was about to asked Tatsu about that, but he’s smiling wickedly when he heard them. I guess we got the same idea.
“Hu hu hu, those idiots. Spreading information for free. C’mon guys, let’s go get those goblins before those people come back with more players.”
“Is that okay? I mean, we’re basically stealing their prey.”
“It’s fine, they retreated to town. It’s their own fault for being such a blabber mouth.”
With that, we head towards the forest clearing, where we got ambushed by a bunch of kobolds.
This time, there’re no kobolds in the vicinity. We split up to search for the dungeon entrance (goblin nest). After a while, Lilith found a bunch of goblins gathering and followed them. She found the nest!
We regrouped and start marching with Lilith leading the way. A cave soon come to vision. It’s almost flat, because it leads to underground. Because of that, it’s hard to find unless you crawl on the ground.

Midnight Moonlight
Abigail is not afraid of anything in particular. She’s just… afraid. All the time. Of everything and everyone. She weaves wild stories to explain her state of perpetual anxiety to the people around her, preferring they treat it as a joke than treat her as a neurotic freak. It’s a plan that works well enough: with a little help from her best friend Megan, Abigail can almost pretend to be normal. But when Megan decides to help out with Abigail’s love life, Abigail finds herself trapped on a date with a ridiculously sexy man who accidentally lets slip that some of the things Abigail has “made up” are true – and that the rest of the truth is stranger than her fiction. Suddenly thrown into a world that has turned out to be crazier than she is, Abigail is going to have to learn to cope with werewolves, vampires, faeries, and being passionately kissed – and she’s going to have to learn fast, because there is a shadow war that has been roiling through the background of history, and she’s just come to the attention of all the players.

blacklight
So here’s the deal: my name is Kihri Vyas, and I’m dead. (That’s not really important, it happened ages ago, but it’s good to have the context.) Anyway, me and my sister Zarah (the only person who can see or hear me) have basically been on our own since I kicked the bucket, surviving on the streets of Kaila and sort of just being miserable and bored and tired a lot. I mean, I haven’t, cause I’m dead, but she has. It sucks, but that’s business as usual for us. What isn’t B-A-U is that a bunch of other homeless folks have been disappearing in the last few months, and some of them have been turning up with anatomically-improbable, but extraordinary fatal, injuries. Cops don’t give a shit, of course, and my sister’s a boneheaded bleeding heart, so we’ve been investigating them ourselves. And, well, we’ve found a bunch of weird shit. Stuff made of solid light, ghost attack dogs, people glowing black, somehow, some kind of living robot… Actually, you know what? It’s probably easier if you see for yourself. blacklight is a modern fantasy story it's not about being gay but rest assured its gay as fuck nevertheless it updates fridays at 2 p.m. AEST on its own site at https://spectrochroma.wordpress.com/ Chapters are uploaded here one week after they finish on the main site.

A Sorcerer's Footsteps
The mind maggots have hatched. Their little honey-coated silver tongues whispered sweet, sweet lovelies into their fleshy hosts. Only whispers though, only ever whispers and nothing more... To utter a single syllable just the tiniest bit too loud would surely frenzy their new homes, stopping them from performing their cattle-like tasks. Only one remained unnoticed by the charismatic boat flies that swarmed the lands, unseen by the eye's of nobles and peasants alike. An arcane apprentice, who mere months away from graduating to a fully-fledged magician of the empire. Without any idea as to why he was spared from the telepathic tongues of swarm, or even how they even came to be, he marches on. Forced to wander a world alone. Armed with nothing but a few spells, a gnawing feeling of hopelessness, and bushel of apples.

The Hawkshaw Inheritance
The Hawkshaw Inheritance is a completed story, with twenty chapters in total. For as long as almost anyone can remember, a small percentage of people have possessed fantastic gifts. Superhuman strength, speed, and smarts are just a few of the many such abilities on record. Some choose to exploit these powers for personal gain, but most use them for the benefit of their fellow man. Thanks to these people, who we call superheroes, the world is safe. The reality is a little more complicated. Most heroes are content to stop the supervillain and pose for the cameras. But it takes more than a few costumed cops and superpowered celebrities to save the world. Humanity is in danger from forces that ordinary heroes are woefully unequipped to handle. But neither they nor the public will ever be aware of the danger they are in, thanks to the efforts of the Council. For more than twenty years, the world's most powerful, influential, and intelligent metahumans have worked tirelessly in secret to protect the world, and subtly steer it on a better course. Six months ago, one of their number, the infamous vigilante detective known as Hawkshaw, disappeared without a trace. Now it falls to his protege to take up the mantle of Hawkshaw, learn the truth of his mentor's disappearance, and uncover the secrets of the most powerful people in the world... as well as what they're willing to do to keep those secrets buried.

Three Hundred Years After The End Of The World
Three hundred years after the end of the world as humanity knew it, the gears of an old plan slowly begin to move again, as a group of self-imposed reincarnators, along with their equally unlikely companions, gather once again to set things right... but does the world they plan to restore need, or even want, their help? Follow the misadventures of an eclectic bunch of genius misfits as they attempt to assemble and fix the world they accidentally devastated in the past. ~~~ Author's note: This is actually the first volume of a novel I wrote nearly a decade ago for the VNDB discussion boards, taking inspiration from the random off-topic ramblings that characterized the golden age of the community. After sevear years and countless rewrites, it is pretty much unrecognizable, but while it is not fit for professional publishing (due to the fact that several fragments and older versions are still out there on various forums and blogs), I decided it is a waste to just let it sit idly on my hard drive forever. As such, I decided to share it somewhere where people could maybe appreciate it, so here it is.
