This is not fair! If my ice won’t kill you what will!?
The frog struggles but is unable to move from being covered in ice.
I don’t get it, my magic is a laser of pure ice, yet you still live?
…
Of course you won't say anything, your mouth is frozen… and you're a frog. At least your survival instinct is stronger than your one to kill or we both would’ve died from your smoke thing… well it’s covered with ice so you can’t use it anymore.
The frog struggles even harder causing the ice to crack.
Oh, I could probably just sting you.
I crawl up to the frog and angle my stinger to one of its frozen eyes.
This is uncomfortable, but it’s really the only way to kill you without the tongue getting in the way. Wish I had eyelids.
I plunge my stinger in the eye of the frog, ending it in an instant.
[you have killed an monster, gained 5 physical points]
Physical points? Oh right! The board said something about magic points when I ate snow… what do I do with them?… Can I even see my status? Uh, status, board, me, apprasile? No? Ok.
I barely give an attempt at seeing my status for I don’t really care, and I’m not sure if one even exists, but what do I do with points then? Ugh… I’ll try later, and I wanna get my stinger out the frog's eye, it’s disgusting.
I pull out my stinger then turn towards the frog, I grab it tube because it is the only point I can latch on to then start pulling it away from the tunnel's only pathway out. Once there’s enough space for me to fit through I let go of the frog.
After crawling out of the tunnel I see it's halfway till day from the moon's position. I start flapping my wings to fly off, trying to balance with the extra weight from the frog's tongue which is still stuck to my stinger.

Okay! Which way do I go? I think the moon is going that way, right? It is the middle of the night so it's hard to tell.
I start flapping off into the distance, observing the beautiful night that would be prettier with flowers and a nest full of honey and pollen… Why am I so interested in honey?
I haven't realized it before but all this time I've been so infatuated with honey, this is strange… I mean it is absolutely amazing and sweet… again!? What is this!? No. Forget it. It's probably because I'm a bee, so I'll accept it…
I shake my bee head as much as my neckless body can and remove these thoughts to focus on flying and hope my mind goes into autopilot, a great skill that is easy to learn when you go to school…
How'd I die? I was only 13! So young! An amazing future… or not, wasn't all that good, had two friends, never talked to them… MY XBOX ACCOUNT! NO! WHAT HAPPENED TO IT!? no… my Xbox friends… I'll miss you. Oh, my parents too, and my sister I guess… bee life is better.
But how I died, gotta think about that… I can barely remember my old life at all, just basic stuff. I most likely died on the bus, it would be the quickest death… that would mean my sister died too… could've been a school shooter… getting shot would probably hurt, so best not to remember.
Oh, I'm a bit sad for some reason, I should forget this session of thoughts, focus on now, not before. Maybe everyone else reincarnated, can only hope they reincarnated as bees too, being a human twice would suck… are there even humans here?
Ow! My stomach… I'm hungry. Why are there no flowers in this place!? And I have none left because I ate it all before the frog fight, and I don't wanna go back and eat the frog… not even sure if I'm even able to eat meat.

Could I eat snow again? I can apparently get magic points and level up my ice magic by doing it, don't know if I can do it forever though, be a bit overpowered.
I stop my wings and let myself fall into the snow.
Hope there's no stone, or shallow snow, maybe I should've flown down carefully.
I crash into the snow, luckily without crashing into a hidden stone or landing in shallow snow.
I open my mandibles and start devouring the snow in a swirling pattern until I cleared out a giant area of snow.
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv3!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv4!]
[You have eaten snow! Ice magic went up to lv5!]
[You now gain less magic points for fully leveling a skill!]
[You have gained 3 magic points!]
I clean my mandibles with my legs, I then use my tongue to wet my legs and clean myself to prevent any bacteria from collecting and causing the hive to get infected… Now that I think about it, pollen doesn't just turn to honey in your stomach does it? It's a magical world, so anything goes I guess. Why am I even cleaning myself? I won't be going to the nest any time soon, sadly.
Hmm, what do I do now? I'm lost, I have to eat snow, there's no pollen, can't go to any civilization or I might get killed… maybe I could make my own nest? I'm not a queen, but maybe I could aphid it and clone myself… somehow, I'm really lonely…
Maybe I should kidnap other insect larvae, ants did it on earth… not sure that the children will be of any use, and they might be smart enough to tell where not the same species… What if they can't eat honey? And there probably aren't any insects here in a frozen hell.

Mistbound: Eternity
The world is said to be formed out of duality of man. Good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark. And with duality, comes conflict. A meaningless clash of ideals results in pointless wars. Azlan is wanderer who doesn't falls in either category. Tired and done with the redundant world, he lives his secluded life, hunting monstrosites for coin in the crumbling province of Mountaliya, situated in the land of Forsa. The premise follows Azlan as he explores the province, experiencing the culture and its people as they try to stand unshaken amidst a cold and unforgiving world. The story is a dark fantasy that is a balance of action and world building but most importantly, it follows the people going about their daily lives. The world has entered a state of stasis, there are no high stakes, no glory to be had, only a decaying realm of ice remains. Everyone awaits for Heaven's descent, an event prophesied to bring the world out of stasis, by granting the champion of the event a wish. Heaven Shall Descend. I wanted to write a high fantasy story that doesn't focuses too much on Magic and Swordfights, but rather interactions between people, a bit of politics and ideals. This is my first attempt at writing something this huge, please let me know if you see mistakes or any problems in general, so I can learn from them. (The cover picture is from the year 1818, "Wanderer Above the Mist" by Caspar David Friedrich). I also write Short stories set in the same shared universe. You can read them here: Dark Fantasy Short Stories.

Oracle by Default
Oracles are known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator. There are times when evil exist and the Holy Creator wishes to intervene, to which the title of the Oracle is bestowed upon an individual to become the Creator's will in physical form. The Oracle's mission is to then gather heroes from different races to purge the evil. “For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested. Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials. Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk. Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world.” A mysterious man engraved a seal onto Kihet before saving him from being consumed by the flames. The seal seems to have a strong connection with the legends of the Oracle and a Tower with no entrance that suddenly sprouted near the village. Throughout years, his efforts to study the strange tower remained fruitless. Then one day, the village decided it was time for his friends and him to become envoys to look for the potential evil the Holy Creator detected. Before Kihet can set off on his journey alongside his friends, he has his own set of problems to overcome against the village. Note: It's slow. There is romance, but it plays a small role that I don’t know if I should add it in the tags. Main story starts at Chapter 12. Chapters before do contain meaningful context for the rest of story.

The Event Master
It is a reincarnation/transmigration story where the MC can only do magic that is socially condemned, but is protected somewhat by his powerful political station. For as long as he can keep it, anyway. With a little luck and some modern world thinking, perhaps he'll come up with something to change people's minds. Not forcefully though, that would be unethical. ** The MC is not a fighter. He's a gamer. He loves rpgs, movies, modern music, and telling stories. I intend to post at least once a week in the range of 2k words. If work eases up I'll increase the amount again. ((Work has instead intensified to the point where I'm struggling to get a chapter every two weeks. I'll pick it back up properly when I can, but for now it is on temporary hiatus while I still might post every once and awhile. This winter, I plan to go back to regular posts until the story finishes.))
