“What the hell are you things anyway?” Twonger asked as he slashed his sword across several of the small bugs seemingly made entirely of fire. He had broken off as he didn’t think he’d have been much use as just an added body, and that there was plenty of work to do out here.

Sure, he may have killed a few times in loops he couldn’t remember, but she was a tough one, real heart of all a this, and he wasn’t about to let her die.


    Several of the bugs in front of Twonger suddenly started piling up. He didn’t like whatever it was they were up to but had his hands full with the dozen others that had used that moment to leap onto him. He knocked several off and then crushed a few more out below his boot before he was able to take on the mass in front of him. In the few seconds he had spent fighting the other bugs, that mass had grown something closer to a bear than a bug.Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    “Great, just what I needed, a damned fire bear,” he yelled as he swung switched out the mana type on his sword and swung forward as hard as he could, slashing the flaming beast into two smaller bears. He burst into laughter as he continued shrinking the flame monster, piece by piece.
