A creature from the void has recognized you as valuable. Do you wish to accept an upgrade to your class and become a [Tool of the Void]?
"No." Alice said as she moved the blue screens to the side. Then, before Victor could reply, she put her hands on her hips and proclaimed, "You still think of me as a tool, don't you?" She smiled, "And that is understandable. We haven't talked all that much after all. It's like back in Eshnar when I worked for my dad's auction house. H...

Victor floated to where he had left Alice, but she was missing. It was not a massive deal as she couldn't have gone far, and he could track her location via the undead dragon she was using as a mount, but it raised a valid point of concern. A part loathed his lack of control, but another part made a decision. 'I want friends, not slaves. We aren't in a relationship together, so there's no need for me to be so controlling. If she wants to leave, she is her own person. No reason for me to d...

Two shadows moved through the night, their speed was abnormal for a human, and their silent footsteps furthered the notion that they were inhuman. But, of course, that wasn't exactly unusual, but the pair's destination was where non-humans were taken to be killed rather than invited.
"A machine is the sum of its many moving parts. Throw a wrench into the many cogs, and it will eventually collapse on itself." Damien whispered to Olympia, who silently ran by his side. "With the figurehead...

"So you wanted to talk?" Toby said as he propped his head up with one arm on the stone table and browsed the cards he fanned out in his other out of Andrew's sight. His eyes darted between his hidden hand of cards and the cards Andrew had just thrown onto the table.
"Yes," Eve said politely and straightened her back. "We have many questions."
"Well, fire away." Toby casually tossed two cards onto the table, and Andrew frowned. Toby was the type of man you wouldn't want to cross at...

The frost-covered ground crunched underfoot as the party probed deeper into the cursed forest. After the incident with the corrupted, half a month had passed, and after much convincing from the higher-ups, the party was back together with a new mission provided by the head of the Delvers guild.

"My phone is out of battery."
All the anticipation shifted to anger. "Ask your friend then." Victor hissed with unconcealed rage.
"Yo John, can you search if a man called Victor Harrison died? No, I am not a mob boss... no, I didn't kill him. Just search for it, you idiot. Ah, give it here." Sound of rustling and a few grunts. "Errr, Boss, was this Victor Harrison guy a famous singer?"

'So she can use the void, huh?' Victor watched her impressive display of magic with interest. 'Didn't expect humans to be able to wield the void, always assumed it was out of the system's jurisdiction, but I guess I was wrong.' Victor shook his head and went to find the poor girl's food. If not for her high CON stat, she would have starved to death or returned to her pathetic state from before. She had lost a bit of muscle and fat, but overall she looked alright. Nothing a l...

Getting to feel superior to a dragon wasn't an everyday occurrence. So as Alice dumped her remaining eight unspent points into her CON stat, bringing it up to an impressive eighty-six, she felt better than ever. She had debated focusing on a few other stats with her unspent points. But, right now, she needed a solid body to deal with the current circumstances.
Strength? She was riding a freaking dragon. Dexterity? She didn't use a bow or practise calligraphy. Intelligence defined the si...

"Darling, you don't look so well?" Elizabeth Greentail circled the desk and held up her son's hand. It was shaking, and he looked deathly pale. "August dear, I left you a present in the usual place, okay? You need to look your best for your father's upcoming party. A King's birthday is a joyous occasion after all..." Elizabeth had a sly smile on her face and whispered. "... Since he is one year closer to death."

A weird emotion bubbled in Victor's chest as over twenty dragons bowed their heads in a ring around his avatar. With many stat points to play with, Victor had resummoned his shadowy avatar that appeared as a tall man with indescribable features and a fancy top hat.
Alice was off to the side, floating in the air... 'Well, that is new. Since when could she float around like me?' Dense raven mana coated every inch of her pale skin like a latex suit of armour. Only her head was unc...

Alice struggled to keep up with the slaughter. She didn't even have time to summon her trusty blue screens to check on her ever-increasing level. Dragon roars shook the skies. Alice squinted as she witnessed another dragon crash into the white tower with a gaping wound in its head. Then, before the dragon corpse even grazed the ground, it began flapping its leathery wings with a dazed look. Death affinity mana swirled around its form as the dragon latched onto the back of the nearest chrome-s...

Damien let out a sigh of relief as Jannalor faded into the void and vanished from the room. Vanity also calmed, returned to her comfortable chair, and threw herself into its warm embrace.
"I plan to reject the Royal Decree. Any objections?" Damien asked, and everyone raised their hand. Even Vanity. Damien gripped the bridge of his nose in frustration, "Why? Can't you see the party is a death trap?"
Vanity had her eyes closed, and since she didn't bother to breathe and her skin was...

Alice ignored the howling wind flying through her hair, the musky scent of the man's waist she was clutching for dear life, and her arse that burned as the horse galloped at an impossible speed. Alice didn't even have clothes or a seat to cushion the blow of horseback riding. If not for her increased CON stat, Alice feared the relentless assault on her arse would smash her tailbone into smithereens. Despite the pain, Alice grinned from ear to ear as her hand danced across the blue screens tha...

The black tar dragon refused to die. This was the first time Victor faced an opponent that lasted more than a few seconds. 'I can see why dragons are graded at ten points by the goddess, but...' Victor looked at the corpse of the feminine silver dragon with brain puss trickling from a hole in her head. 'That dragon had to be centuries old, yet I killed it in one hit? The hackers are the same too... a sneaky claw to the head, and they are dead.' Victor realised what truly mat...

Hello everyone I am currently on holiday in Africa and the facilities here aren’t the best to facilitate writing so I have decided to not bother writing and use this as an opportunity to refresh myself from writing. Therefore there’s no Damien or Netherborne chapters till Tuesday (when I return home).
I will still write 4 chapters of Damien this month so will likely do a double upload next week.
Thank you all for the continued support!

Alice awakened from her state of mind with the silver barrier shattering. The Lord had arrived. Her survival rested on his shoulders. The image of that long shadowy arm ending in curved claws that looked sharper than any blade Alice had ever seen while working for her father's merchant company flashed through her mind. 'What is the Lord? Is he a creature of darkness? Or was that merely an extension of his true form?' Alice began to doubt that the Lord was a mere necromancer. Then, wi...

The streets were alive with activity as residents of Blackthorn muttered between themselves in hushed voices as Damien and his crew paraded down the main road with a fleet of armoured knights. Although all the knights were technically under Damien's control as the defacto lord of the region, just from a glance at their differing armour quality, a person could tell between the various factions within the knight's ranks.
The ones walking on the left side of Damien wore polished silver arm...

Victor directed Wiggles to smash into the silvery barrier. The oversized earthworm glowed in an eerie green light, and its muscles bungled below its armoured plates that shifted as the worm prepared to charge.
"Attack," Victor commanded, and his mindless undead slave complied. Wiggled coiled up, and like a spring, he unleashed his full power. The cavern shuddered as he collided. Green blood and flesh dyed the silver barrier in neon green as it rippled from the impact.
"Tsk." Victo...

Wiggles resembled a tunnel boring machine rather than an undead creature. Victor, Henry, and a frightened Genus followed the dark tunnel through the earth Wiggles had perfectly carved out. Apart from the foul smell of death and decay and the occasional suspiciously neon green puddle, the tunnel through the bedrock was perfectly smooth.
Henry and Victor were perfectly fine in the pitch blackness to the planet's centre. But Genus took every step with a nervous caution befitting a blind la...

Once the guards lowered the magical silver barrier, Xamrus discarded the shaking human into one of the many prison cells. He was in a foul mood after he received wrath from the elders. They accused him of being lazy and taking the magical highway instead of making the two-day flight to the Grand Dungeon's entrance. Of course, they all knew that zombie would never make it to the Grand Hall for questioning after Hyveth took it, so the elders took it out on Xamrus. He reasoned that the human wou...

Victor wondered how he could gain access to the Grand Dungeon over the last few days. Yet, he had gained three different ways in the last half an hour. First, the enormous undead worm- 'That name is far too long. How about Wiggles? The name sounds endearing enough to help distract me from how monstrous it is. - Anyway, Wiggles should be able to create a tunnel into the Grand Dungeon. Otherwise, how did it get out in the first place? Unless it was mutated outside of the dungeon by ambient ...

Although Netherborne could float, they could not fly. A few meters off the ground was the best Victor could do, and apart from his [Doom Ray], he lacked in ways to deal with aerial threats. Such as dragons. There was a shocking lack of flight-capable monsters in the cursed forest. Victor had brushed it off initially since forests usually favoured land-based monsters. But seeing those flying lizards perching on the crater's edge made Victor realise another possibility. There were flying-type m...

The warm water rippled around Fay's breasts, making them look like two small white islands. Damien poked one of them, causing Fay to giggle and playfully splash his hand away, "Hey! No touching." She was lying on top of him while the two were floating in the enormous bath. "Why not?" Damien nibbled at her ear, and she yelped, "Because you have already had enough!" She twirled around; her enchanting scarlet eyes were an inch from his face. She smirked and sealed her lips with his. The two enga...

Damien tapped his foot with an impatient rhythm as he watched the incompetent employees of Thar attempt to hoist a piece of magisteel armour onto the final Aurel.
To be fair to them, this particular Aurel was being uncooperative despite being smothered in Angel Tears.

Hello everyone! I have decided to do a re-write of an old novel of mine that was called: Reincarnated as a Nightwalker.
In a few weeks, I might start posting advanced chapters for the story here, so if suddenly there is a new novel starting at like chapter 30, then now you know why.
Anyway, the novel is linked below, and I would appreciate any reviews/ratings/follows/favourites to help with the rising starts algorithm!

Damien reentered the portal, and after a split second of inertia, he was through to the other side and strolled past the procession of carriages and people. They all had clouded expressions and moved as if following a set program. It was rather creepy, but all was fair in war. 'These people never stood a chance. The Ravenhall family lacked an A-grade powerhouse, so if Vanity sacrificed some Ichor blood, she could have destroyed the city in a single night.' Damien shook his head as he...
