“Hnng!” I hnng’d as I held the sword with both hands and channeled Ether.
Unfortunately, the orange wisps of Ether refused to leave my hands and transfer into it.
“C’mon… Surely it counts as a tool, right…?”
KaiEbikoOfficial: maybe the handle is insulated?
KaiEbikoOfficial: try touching the blade
I hummed and did as Ebiko suggested, gently sliding my index finger over the blade while trying to push Ether into it.<...

“Looooot!” I cheered as I spotted the chest in the corner. It looked identical to the other one I’d found yesterday.
Even then, I approached it carefully and poked it with a sword from afar.
KaiEbikoOfficial: that’s not how you open chests Nana
“I’m checking for mimics!”
KaiEbikoOfficial: oh

KaiEbikoOfficial: does your family know?
“I… don’t know? Probably not,” I replied with a shrug as I finished wiping off the last of my tears.
KaiEbikoOfficial: should I tell them?
I pursed my lips and thought about it for a moment.
Honestly, I wasn’t sure. My relationships with my family had always been strained, especially after coming out. My sister was a little better, but I still wasn’t particularly close to her…

When I blinked my eyes awake, I saw the blue sky through some leafy branches of the trees surrounding me.
There was a brief moment of confusion before I remembered where I was and what I was doing. Once again, I let out a little whine, but promptly got up and looked around myself.
Nothing had attacked me during the night. That was great and all, but… part of me felt a sinking feeling. The idea that I was completely alone in this world was disturbing and I really hoped that it wa...

I climbed out of the window back into the open space below the archway and looked around once more.
I immediately spotted another zombie clambering over the opposite window and wasted no time in rushing at it with my sword. Before it could even do anything, I caved in its skull with my glowing sword and it vanished into mist a few seconds later.
It still felt sickening to do that, but I was slowly getting used to it. Although I wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or not. W...

A/N: Hey there! I've made some minor edits to the earlier chapters. Mostly of them were just for clarity, but also: In chapter 1, she now also takes a shard of her egg, and in chapter 9, the zombies no longer drop anything at all. Also, Vtubers are now called Vcubers in this universe for reasons that will become obvious in this chapter.
Anywho, onto the chapters now!

My arms were jelly as I grit my teeth and forced myself to do one more pushup. With my stamina all exhausted, I fell back down, breathing heavily.
“How… How many was that…?” I asked between the breaths.

I spent another hour or so continuing to walk in a straight line from where I’d left off before I’d gotten distracted by the lake. On my way through the endless forest, I’d run into another pool of green slime, this one pond-sized.
I honestly felt tempted to try eating the stuff. Stupid George, putting crazy ideas in my head…
Other than that, I also found a rocky hill without much vegetation. I could finally test out the other skill I’d bought...

When I came to, everything felt both unfamiliar and familiar at the same time.
I clearly recognized the fact that rather than my bed, I was inside some spherical object. No, not spherical. An egg-shaped.
My eyes shot open with a start and I began looking around in confusion, but all I’d accomplished was cracking the egg around me even more.
With a gasp, the egg toppled to the side and I found myself face planting into the hard rock floor of the cave I was in.

“Alright…” I muttered to myself.
I was wearing my bottoms again, the letter and the vial in their pockets, the sheathed sword fastened to my hip. They were still covered in blood and it was gross, but I wasn’t about to run around naked. I just had to find a river or something and wash it there before finding civilization. It wouldn’t do for the first people I found in this world to see all the blood and think I was a psychopath or something…

I sprinted away at full speed even while the thing behind me continued to produce ominous mechanical creaking.
I was a complete and utter idiot. Why had I assumed that only the chests would be mimics?! Of course any old pile of metal could have been a killer robot in disguise! And now, once it was done transforming, one of them would probably be coming after me!
I made it nearly halfway across the debris-filled crater when I heard the creaking sounds behind me stop. ...

I hadn’t realized it before, but I was actually pretty fit for a small child. Gone was the streamer belly and back pain. Once I got used to having much smaller limbs, I realized that I was much more athletic than before. For someone who had just hatched from an egg, this was quite impressive… Or rather, maybe that was the reason. I probably had some dragon genes or whatever, even if I had no dragon body parts.
Yeah, that had to be it.
Also, maybe I shouldn’t be distracting m...

Welcome to my new writing project everyone! Like I mentioned, in my monthly update thing, this will be a LitRPG isekai with a twist or two... or three.
Synopsis:
It happens often in stories. Random guy gets hit by a truck and then wakes up in a fantasy world. Same old same old…
But in my case, there was no truck involved. I just went to sleep and the next thing I knew, I was inside the body of my old Vcuber avatar, wandering around a barren world with noth...

Hey everyone!
It's been... an entire month, huh? Sorry about that! I've gotten very burnt out on writing and needed a bit to regain that spark again. And after that, I had a hard time deciding what story I should work on, what with 5+ plot bunnies running around my head constantly.
But I've finally settled into one. A story I've been planning and outlining for years (on and off) and probably the most difficult story to write for me so far.
It's an Isekai LitRPG...

“Yes, that was it!” Oliver said in excitement. “It was a magic stone of a mythical beast of an era long forgotten.”

“Yes. The legendary Minokawa. Said to relentlessly terrorize the lands until a hero slew it. Its magic stone was a large crystal, similar to this divine crystal, capable of producing holy water. The legends don’t sa...

A/N: Hey everyone, I have some bad news. Like I've already mentioned before, I hit a major writer's block with this story and although I did my best, I simply can't get past it right now. So with that said, tomorrow's chapter 89 will be the last one for now and after that, I'll also be pausing my patreon for the time being.
It, uh, also might be ending on a very slight cliffhanger. Sorry about this, everyone. >.<

It looked like someone had brought several bookshelves, desks, and weapon racks into a stereotypical boss arena and filled them with books, papers, weapons, and all sorts of other junk. There were motionless skeletons sprawled all over the chairs, piles of rot in the corners, and several skeleton-zombies standing or walking around, carrying papers and books.
Right in the middle, there was one particular skeleton-zombie, who sat on a chair and seemed to be poring over some documents. Unl...

“Oh… That’s where the smell is coming from…” Frank muttered, his expression in pain from the horrible stench.
I wanted to puke, just being in the same dungeon as these things. Enhanced senses sucked sometimes.
We were looking at a group of vaguely humanoid piles of rot loitering around the cavern. There were about a dozen of them and luckily, none of them seemed to have noticed us yet. I absolutely did not want to fight any of these things in a melee. G...

Just as we spied more undead – two of the same type of skeleton we had fought just a minute ago – Frank stopped us with an uneasy frown.
“So, uh… I was thinking… Why don’t we try using our mystical virus-healing thing on the skeletons too?” Frank suggested.
I stopped in my tracks as my eyes went wide.

Had we… murdered someone back there?

Once more into the breach, I thought, as the chill of the misty ruins slid down my back again.
With a round of nods, we headed straight for Abyground, while trying to avoid any skeletons loitering around. We still ran into a couple of groups, but they didn’t pose too much of an issue anymore. We were good enough to deal with them as a team now.

It felt wrong to be fighting random mobs and learning teamwork now, of all times, when we were on a time limit. This kind of felt like what I had imagined we would be doing back when we had first wanted to go test all the magical items but never got around to it.
Still, going straight to fighting a boss in a late game area while barely being able to beat up some skeletons would have been suicidal. This wasn’t just a game, after all.

I heard both Casey and Frank gasping as the teleport finished.

I groaned and blinked my eyes open as I blindly reached for it. When I finally fished it out and squinted at it, I saw an unread message from Casey.
As I went to unlock it and take a look, it jingled again. Casey had sent a link to some news website and then Frank had replied with ‘Fuuuck’ right after that.
That woke me up.

I glared at the damn scrolls in annoyance.
‘Like wind. Become weightless. Move fast. Defy the flow of time.’
How the heck did that help at all? The text on the scroll just described what happened when the skill was used. It didn’t say anything about how to achieve it, though!
“Yeah… I dunno, this isn’t helpful at all,” Frank agreed.
