*****
This fantasy story is a '
LitRPG
' (also called GameLit), which is a genre that involves some stats, much like a videogame. The overall concept of stats is introduced right away, but you can certainly enjoy the story even if you're not overall familiar with the genre, simply because most of the focus is on the story itself.
Like all my stories, there will be lots of hot sex once the main characters have had time to develop their relationships.
Hope you enjoy.

- CHAPTER 9: Emergency -
Present Day
An elf with chestnut hair and tan skin clung desperately to her dying younger sister as the bitter wind stung her pained blue eyes, her hair lashing against her face in the violent gusts, the beast beneath her flapping its wings as hard as it could, even as she urged it to go faster.
'FASTER. PLEASE FASTER.'
But her mount was also injured.
And yet, her Gryphon fought against the agony eating away beneath its flesh, pressing onward despite the torment, doing everything in its power to obey its master and friend.
But it wasn't enough.
So many of their furry companions had perished in an effort to help the elf save her sister, and yet
it wasn't enough
.
She'd been too late.
The elf's right hand was frozen stiff, clinging to a fistful of fur in an effort to keep both her and her sister from plummeting to their deaths far below. Her other arm was preoccupied with holding onto the cold unconscious form in her grasp, the body already beginning to feel both stiff and
flaccid
at the same time.
No.
Please don't die.
Please
don't be dead.
'FASTER. PLEASE FASTER!'
Her mount pressed onward as hard as it could, its beak parted now as it gasped for breath.
She was able to see the Queen's castle in the distance, approaching it from the northeast, only visible due to their height. But as the frigid air wore on her body,
so did
the despair that was suffocating her heart. Because she knew what she did not want to admit.
The creature that attacked was one of the highest threats assigned to a Scourge Beast, having all the characteristics that made such a monster a
true demon
.
Capable of moving among the trees in absolute silence.
Known to strip its victim's flesh and stretch it over its bulbous body.
Capable of reproducing at an overwhelming rate.
And...
And having fangs infused with a venom that was
incurable
...
No healer had ever been able to stop or reverse the process.
Her sister was liquifying inside, and there was nothing she could do to save her.
Yet, as her eyes stung in the harsh cold, her vision blurred, she pressed onward. Because she knew there was
one
healer who cured things others could not.
One healer who was known among the
creatures
in the city, as even being so kind as to grace his gentle touch on them.
No healer
ever took the time to waste their spells on an animal.
But one did.
He was famous to her furry friends, to the point that injured creatures frequently sought him out.
But even still...she knew it was too late.
And she knew there were no spells to fix this.
Yet still, she pressed onward.
Clinging to her sister's dying body,
she pressed onward
.
For...
For it was all she could do.
'SOUND THE ALARM.'
* * *
I bolted out the front of the Guild Hall, looking to the sky in search of the Gryphon I knew should be visible, hoping to see where it was heading, since that on its own would tell me a lot. Of course, normally the Gryphon would go straight to the Queen's castle, sounding the alarm only so that the Guilds and Guard would mobilize, knowing that the Queen would soon be issuing orders in response to the threat.
A threat so great, that it couldn't wait.
This was different than the yearly Northern Invasion, which the Guilds had time to prepare for. From what I'd been told, the Gryphon had only reported a true emergency
two times
in the last
twenty years
. And they had all been catastrophic threats that had to be dealt with immediately, or else risk the entire continent being conquered.
It was that serious.
Either there was an enormous horde of monsters, a single powerful beast that was heading directly for the capital, or...
Or a horrifying demon capable of reproducing so quickly that it was a
guarantee
that all life would be lost, if it wasn't slaughtered quickly.
Obviously, the last possibility was the most time-sensitive, and the worst.
I'd at least read about such close encounters in the past, where a rapidly reproducing monster almost overwhelmed the kingdom's forces, but I didn't know of any such events that had occurred in my lifetime. Hopefully, this wasn't such a threat.
I didn't even realize Mel, Val, and Eira were at my side, until Eira spoke up, her elven eyes being much sharper than mine.
"Oh God, I think Celestine is dead."
"
What
?!" I said in alarm, looking at her and then focusing back up at the sky. Of course, I could barely make out that there appeared to be two people riding the Gryphon, but I never would have been able to determine if one of them wasn't alive or not.
Eira continued. "If she's not dead, she's close to dying." Her rich brown eyes focused on me. "Allister, I think they're coming here."
More people were beginning to gather in front of the Guild Hall, likewise looking to the northeastern sky, the area between the building and the front gates being plenty large enough to hold such a gathering, and then some.
And apparently, I wasn't the only one who was prepared to help.
A female healer, who I was very much
not
fond of, overheard Eira and spoke up loudly. "Well, she's smart to come here then, since
I'm
here. If I can't help, then no one can."
Fucking Lyla.
I hated that bitch so much.
She was in the second strongest team in our guild, which meant she perceived herself as being the top healer in the entire kingdom, even though her team had another healer. And sure, she was fairly decent, having a pretty high Essence Regeneration Rate, but I'd met more adequate healers in the other guilds, and felt confident she was not my number two. She wasn't even number ten in line for most competent healer.
But all the men in her team got to fuck her as much as they wanted, so she got by on her 'just okay' abilities. Honestly, it was even possible that the other healer in their team, a female Green Oni with the Shaman Focus, was more competent, but she was ironically a bit timid and let Lyla run all over her even though the green chick was a full head taller.
Either way, this bitch was
not
my favorite person.
She was my least favorite.
I ignored her as she began barking out orders like she owned the place, asking the crowd to begin making room for the Gryphon to land. However, it very quickly became clear that it wasn't going to be a smooth landing.
Eira began yelling. "Everyone move to the eastern wall! The Gryphon is injured too! Prepare for impact!"
Sure enough, the Gryphon was half-gliding, half-falling now as it plummeted toward our front courtyard, screeching in agony as it barreled for the ground at almost full speed. Several people screamed as everyone began running out of the way, attempting to avoid being smashed by the massive beast, the conscious rider looking like she was about to pass out.
At the very last second, the Gryphon flashed its wings and tail out, and slowed down just before hitting the packed dirt, only for its left wing to give out and snap in two like it was suddenly made of slime.
It shrieked at the top of its lungs as it landed on broken legs, the limbs giving out so suddenly that it smashed into the ground, sending both of its passengers flying to the dirt.
I was already running, aiming for the younger sister, whose tan skin looked almost transparent, her body having rolled into a sickening position. Astaer was already getting to her hands and knees urgently looking around as she began screaming for help.
"Healer! I need the
male Healer
! Please help! Someone
please help
!"
I was surprised she was specifically asking for me, but quickly turned my attention to her sister, trying to use my
Eye of the Goddess
to understand what was wrong with her, even as I approached at full speed.
Astaer finally noticed me. "It's you! Please save her! Please save my sister! I'll do anything, please!"
Fuck, I was struggling to get any useful information from my skill.
I couldn't focus.
"What did this to her?" I demanded, quickly kneeling down at Celestine's side, and trying to move her body a little so she wasn't twisted so sickeningly.
Astaer immediately crawled over, her arms trembling, the crowd having erupted into several dozen voices speaking all at once, but the two of us tuned them out as she answered my question.
"It was an
Arakna'cabra
. A Flesh Collector."
Fuck!
FUCK!
I didn't have a spell to heal this. Not even close.
As if in response to the information, my
Eye of the Goddess
skill finally worked.

Fuck!
I knew
Cure Venom
, but it only worked on minor or moderate severities. And similarly,
Greater Healing
could only handle moderate ailments, which was exactly why no one could heal Mel's Fatigue caused by her spell Rising Phoenix, because it was
severe
Fatigue.
Unexpectedly, Lyla was right at my side, placing her hands on the body lying between us.
