the troubles of a hydra
The three are dead now
The ruby fish rests for now
As she awakes finally
ruby awakens
the hydra commits suicide
now the code has won
status unconfirmed tonight
the demons roam my PC
YouTube is the demon
the death by hunger
the saddest way to go out,
i need a doughnut
----------------------------------------
Time passes after the death of Lucas, but for this no one cares as floating in the water is an entranced goblin-fish looking at her own status screen with the skill shop open next to it.
(Ruby):-wow I was so hunt thirsty didn't realize, I left my stats untouched when i could be super powerful.
the status screen that she hasn't seen since her rebirth tells her that she been a very bad girl.
Name: Ruby Species: red-eyed goblin-fish(variant) (+) Level: 10 health:20/20 Mana:10/10 stamina:15/15 Exp to next level:25 Title: survivalist (=) Sin: gluttony,wrath,pride & Greed Strength (+) 8 Intelligence (+) 15
agility (+)14endurance (+)9stat points:40Fame:0skill points:75
as ruby looks over the screen she thinks of how to use the points but for now shes just curious of all the skills she can get so she opens the skill shop screen.
Ruby's skill shop skill name skill description skill point cost Natural Poison 'Natural poison' makes it so when attacking or when hit can randomly give a poison status effect as well as gives 'poison resistance level 2/10'as well as 'paralyze resistance level3/10' (skill seen by the spike eel) cost: 17 Enhanced senses 'Enhanced senses' makes it so all senses are improved by double quality (skill seen by goblin-fish swarm queen), cost:10 Swarm call 'Swarm call' allows the user to summon a swarm of 'goblin-fish to protect them.(skill seen by goblin-fish swarm queen), cost: 20 Basic elemental magic This skill is just the understanding of basic magic principle of the elements; earth, water, air, wind, electricity & space. cost per element: 6 (except water were its 3) Body strengthening 'Body strengthening' is the skill that improves the strength and endurance stats by a set amount of skill points placed into the skill cost:1 or more Mind strengthening 'Mind strengthening' it the skill that improves the intelligence and agility stats by a set amount of skill points placed into the skill cost:1 or more Calm mind this is a spell is made so that it breaks any mind altering effects on the welder and the spell target cost : 10 skill points *SPECIAL* Evolving existence This skill is the gift from the pagan god 'alphard', this skill triples the rate of exp gained as well as allows the evolution of the skill 'ruby eye sight' once cost: 25 skill points and 10 stat points Beast language This skill allows you to speak and understand the 'beast' language as well as talk to animals cost: either 5 skill points or 2 stat points Undead language This skill allows you to speak and understand the 'undead' language cost: either 5 skill points or 2 stat points Fairy language This skill allows you to speak and understand the 'fairy' language cost: either 5 skill points or 2 stat points Fermention this skill is whenever you deal damage to organic matter there is a 75% chance of any of these effects being applied, when effect is specified the chance of it effecting is increased by 10% ;poison, silence, paralyze, toxic or hallucinations cost :40 skill points and 25 stat points
(Ruby):-wow that's a lot of skill and some of them can use stat points to buy them-
as this was as best a time as any she bought things she though would be useful like the 'Evolving existence' since the triple the exp gain plus making her eyes moar powerful would be super good, also on her list of things she bought was 'natural poison','enhanced senses', 'clear mind' for just in case and 'basic magic in water and wind'. and since ruby had 4 skill points left she just put them into 'body strengthening'. from this ruby looks at her stats again to see if anything had changed and to her surprise both her strength and endurance had increased by 2 points each. after seing this ruby goes back to the skill list and buys all the languages using stat points because why not.
once for the stats ruby doesn't take anything into account and presses the green plus, but she tries to have a an equal value for each one used till she sees if she does it right every stat could be a increment of 5 and in Ruby's past life she suffered from OCD (obsessive-compulsive-disorder) so she natural did this to her stats with her intelligence and agility to 20 while her endurance and strength to 15, as she pressed the last stat point down a message appears.
congratulations for all your stats increasing to either 15 or over 15 stat points the weapon mastery skills have been unlocked but not obtained.
now ruby internally smiles as she goes to the evolution screen.
Ruby's evolution chart(Aquatic heritage evolution path)current: Goblin-fish(Aquatic demon evolution path)goblin-fish -> Spike eelgoblin-fish -> DepthstalkerSpike eel -> Aerobic-SeahorseSpike eel -> Aqua constrictorDepthstalker -> SkeelDepthstalker -> Huskleronly available evolution are visible-p.s. Alphard
This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.
from this ruby was both excited from the fact she was gonna get stronger yet she also had the feeling of curiosity of many questions; what are these monsters like ?, is Alphard watching me at every step? ( is he you ?), will evolving change a part of me that make me ruby?.
after this Ruby finds the answer to the first question, she can just use red-eye sight on the evolution screen on the monsters name, she uses it on the 6 monster species making a screen that has the infomation on it to appear in-front of her.
[tr]species namespecies descriptionmonster grade[tr]Spike eelthe spike eel is a reclusive Anguillfomes (i did not make that up btw) that hides in seaweed waiting for its prey to approach before exploding in size to roughly 60cm in diameter poisoning any victim that its many needles hit .grade: E[tr]Depthstalkerthe Depthstalker is a monster that is similar to a jellyfish in shape, with its prime method of attacking being the capability to use dark and water magic.grade: D[tr]Aerobic-seahorseAn Aerobic-seahorse is a large seahorse that has the capability of using water and wind magic, in water nations these monsters can be tamed and turned into mounts.grade: D[tr]Aqua-constrictorthe Aqua constrictor is a serpent type monster that excels in ambush tactics in a group but is weak when either in one on one combat or out of water.grade: D[tr]SkeelA skeel is a monster that looks like a human skull that's back is open releasing a serpent tail. The skull and hide are as hard as steel, giving it its name. its main method of attacking is the use of dark and water magic.grade: C[tr]Husklerthe Huskler is a crustacean that inhabits the skeleton of the departed by slowly melding the bones into a shell to protect its self. it uses water, earth and fire magic.grade: D
from this Ruby just stares intensely since this is a part that dictates her future. she thinks and thinks till she comes to a conclusion.
from the evolution list ruby choices the Depthstalker first of all.
as she does this her fish-like body starts to glow before her body starts to feel weightless as she floats there she looks around and realize she now can see 360 degrees around herself, this moment excites Ruby even more as 4 messages appear.
though your evolution into an Depthstalker the Sin 'sloth' has been adopted as to a species trait.
from the appearance of the sin 'sloth' the title 'demon of snobbery' has evolved into 'deacon of Snobbery'.
the title of snobbery makes it so when its your title you gain 3 more title slots and when versing a opponent your lowest stat become equal to your own second highest stat or your opponents highest stat (which ever one is the higher).
congratulations from evolving the following skills have improved; 'red-eye sight','red-eye enslavement','red-eye weakening sight' and 'Red-eye pinpoint'.
from the sin 'sloth' the variant trait 'red-eye sight' has evolved the sub skill ' red-eye aura'
'red-eye aura' is a skill that makes it so you emit a invisible aura that can only sense the presence of people and dangerous objects in a certain area around you.
congratulations you have gained the skill 'basic dark magic'
after viewing these Ruby smiles ( on the inside) before choosing the Skeel evolution option with her body glowing again as her body elongates to a length of 1 meter with a skull like shape for her head, except for the bone white skull her whole body is black as the shadow with a message appearing.
you have obtained the sin 'lust' though the species
the title 'deacon of snobbery' has evolved into the title 'apostle of Alphard'
with this title equipped you gain the ability to hear the word of the pagan god Alphard, this also comes with the effect of when this is your title, only other Apostle's of Alphard can see this title and you gain one extra title slot but its effects are doubled.
(Unknown/Alphard):"wow you got to apostle status a lot quicker than I expected, for your achievement i believe i will tell you 3 things about the world you are in since our last conversation was short.
in this world I Alphard am known as a pagan god who is called the devil by the main religious power known as the Holy saint church where they pray go a goddess called Lucia.
the apostle's of me are all reincarnated people like you who died in one world and were reborn in this world by me once they gain 6 sins they gain the title with them becoming enemy of the world at this moment there are 65 other apostle's but non of them interest me like you do since in only 48 hours of being born you have killed 7 times and evolved twice to others this is impossible to believe but you did it, so for this feat i will tell you what the next sin will unlock.
the next sin that you will unlock is envy, its one of the lesser known but worst ones since most sin derives from envy. when a reincarnated person gains the 7th sin they gain a demonic pathway under my name depending on the last sin they gain the number of people to accomplish this is 6 coincidentally there is one for every other sin but envy, so for this i looked though your world and found out that a monster known as the 'leviathan' was known as the arch-demon of envy in your world main religion."
(Ruby):-Aww the leviathan that sounds really cool, can you give it to me now please- as she finishes saying this another message appears in-front of her.
you have gained the sin 'envy'
with this skill the title apostle of Alphard has evolved to 'sin of envy: The Leviathan',
when this is your title, only other sin title holders can see this title, you gain an extra title slot that has the title 'Apostle of Alphard' automatically equipped at all times as well as your exp growth rate till you become a grade: A monster will become 5 times the normal rate.
(Alphard):"done, now go forth, Ruby go have fun in this world, if you want any help finding the other sins just ask me"
and so the leviathan was born . . .
