The dragon licks at its bloodied claws that were injured from scratching at the surface of the cavern. Brilliant silver scales glimmer under the low torchlit tunnel. Upon closer inspection, it has no wings, and is much smaller than the adult red dragon I fought. My initial presumption was correct, this is a drake— an adolescent dragon between the age of 30-100.
Despite its size, I'm still dwarfed by a good several feet. I'll be at a disadvantage if at any point this creat...

"Are you really going to leave me here with a bunch of demihumans?" Eileen clings to my back, occasionally throwing glances at Gurk who is keeping a distance out of respect for our newcomer.
I grab the vial of purple smoke that was a result of Gurk dunking an entire mandrake. A minor increase to temperature turns it into liquid, and adding heat returns it to a gaseous state. It shouldn't be toxic. The mandrake's stabilizing component made sure of that. I'm just uns...

The rest of the orcs bowed down pretty quick after I gave Bracca the beating of his life. Seeing their leader not only get taken out by a girl, but in two hits hammered the fear of death in them. As a result of my victory, and according to the Rolling Plains tribe tradition, I have been made their new chieftain.
Apparently, that means I get Bracca's tent. Which is great. It's a big fucking tent with human furniture presumably stolen from the all the places they've raided. It provi...

It took a whole hour to find the boar, but even with its fat corpse in my lap, I have no idea how to cook it. With my stomach growling more frequently and daylight quickly running out, I'm pretty much stuck in the middle of the forest until morning.
"First things first, I need a fire. How the hell do I start one?"
I gather a bunch of kindling and lay larger branches on top of the pile. If I remember right, the survival shows I used to watch said that rubbing sticks together ...

My final opponent is knocked against the wall with his teeth scattering onto the unconscious bodies of his gang members. With blood dripping down lips, he crawls to the prostrating position before me.
"Hey, hey. Don't dogeza your way out of this. You're the ones who wanted a go. Sacchan hasn't gotten a home run with your molars yet," I say, winding up my wooden bat for another swing.

We land on a ridge overlooking Lotherain. Eileen's breathing has become shallow. I have to act fast before she loses too much blood. But the wound where she was struck has already been cauterized by the beam. There's nothing for me to bandage on the outside, it's her internal body that I need to somehow heal.
Eileen's temperature has been dropping since we left the city. No amount of heat I provide will make up for the blood she lost. If there is a cauldron nearby, I have t...

The knightess whose name is both Aurelias and Humility remains as still as a statue. Even kneeling, her form is intimidatingly large next to the even larger greatsword. That she can wield it with such ease is a testament to her strength— which is not someone I want to test my magic on.
King Marcus, unmoved by her words, takes a step towards her. He reaches under his cloak to pull out a golden key and deftly passes to me, just out of the woman's field of vision. I slip it ...

Eileen and Cammy slept like logs together until morning. I had to wake them up before the tavern girl was late for work— not that it mattered since she's already at the tavern.
While we're having breakfast downstairs, several of the patrons are whispering about last night's incident. Word travels fast in this cozy city, taking not but a single night for even the tavern keeper Barco to catch wind. Especially when the topic of discussion is a demihuman.

However, unlike most students, I started exploring my sexuality much earlier. Manipulating mana into volatile energies was a cinch, and I soared past the entrance assessments thanks t...

Here is the current look of Ellori. As you can see, she looks too similar to the Sorceress from Dragon Crown at the moment. I've sent feedback to the artist to address these concerns to update her outfit appearance and increase her hips size.
Artist estimates another 3 days of work, but in my experience a few days means an extra week. But great work takes time, so I'm fine with waiting.
Tell me what you guys think and if you have any suggestions, drop a comment!

Lotherain is situated at the far western border of Parthun, but since the country isn't large traveling there didn't take too much time.
As it turns out, Rio ate a hefty portion of the red dragon and inherited several draconic traits— namely the ability to soar long distances. Since he was already able to fly from having previously eaten a wyvern, all this means for him is an improvement to flight and strength.
Not only did his physical traits improve, his appearanc...

The new dryad is definitely not Flora. She may have a similar appearance in a younger form, but the Flora I knew had passed. This one is spawned from her seed, so it is more or less her daughter.
Amusingly enough, she considers me her mama. Have I been imprinted on? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to feel about that since I'm still in my twenties. Whatever the case is, it's my duty to protect her since she's been entrusted to me. And she is kind of a cutie.

The area around my great hollow is beginning to look like a fortress. The demihumans have built a long palisade surrounding their settlement, consequently trapping my home within it. Manticores and wyverns have been less of an issue due to Clem leading the defenses, and Kati's forays into the forest brings back a steady supply of food and reagents.
I've been trying to keep a low profile in my own research, sending Rio outside while I experiment. The last thing I need is Hea...

The king dismounts and rests his hand on the hilt of his sword. His stern demeanor is framed by long, graying hair, and wrinkles that mark decades of commanding a kingdom.
I've only met him once when I was first assigned to safeguard Parthun. I swore both my fealty and my head, yet he didn't say a single word to me then. Now his towering presence overshadows me once again.
First king of Parthun, Marcus Verner shakes his head at my pitiful sight.

Calm down, Ellori.
It's been a whole week since I've been in contact with people and no one has died. There must be something I'm not understanding about the soul stone.
What do I know so far?
From my studies at the Academy, the prideful soul imbues the host with necromantic magic— more specifically, the ability to drain the life and mana from another being. Sometimes, the power gets out of control and can kill someone outright.
I shudder to think that c...

My crotch is on fire. I see Gurk, and the only thing I can think about is getting his dick in me.
"Is Mistress okay?"
"I…" I shed my clothes and crawl to him on my hands and knees. "Take your clothes off for your Mistress. It's time for your reward…"
Gurk must be pent up. He tries to pull off his shirt and pants, but when he starts struggling in his haste, he rips them off instead. I can't wait any longer so I grab his face and shove my tongue into his mouth...

The tower isn't just shaking, it's becoming transparent. It's fading fast.
I'm yanked into the air by the harpy sisters just as I lose footing. The tower I was just standing on disappears from existence in the form of voidal collapse. By some complex runic machinations, the soul stone was acting as an anchor for the tower.
Without the stone to keep it in place, not even the magic crystals inside could sustain a world spiraling to its destruction.

After carving into the manticore's corpse, I manage to muster enough strength to rip out its heart. The thick arteries surrounding the fleshy organ is surprisingly tough to cut. Stabbing it a few times loosened the muscle around it, but in the end, brute force was the only way.

Taking more suggestions for sexual encounters or just encounters in general for Ellori. I already have several suggestions from the readership, as well as my own backlog of monster encounters. Unfortunately, sharing too much of what I have planned is basically spoiling the story.

He charges head first. I dodge out of the way as his horns puncture into the wall, the impact shaking loose sand dust, and causing the ceiling to splinter.
At this rate, he's going to collapse the entire room.
Minotaurs are highly resistant to magic. Attacking him with offensive spells will just be a waste. In that case, I just need to take away his movements.
