[Danmachi X Highschool DxD] Shantae: Dance Through the Dungeon

Basically_God
[No Ai | Not Translated Work | Friendly To Those New To Originals| Multi-Cross (Aka Merged Worlds = Zero World Hopping)] Long before a certain Little Rookie or Panty loving Dragon made their global debut. The age of spirits were fading and few were left. Gods only just started standing onto the lands they once ruled over from Tenkai. But there was one land that not even the gods, angels or devils dared step onto. A continent no less dangerous than a certain great dungeon that was in the process of being sealed by the great primordial god of the sky, Ouranos, yet they were a people who worshipped no gods. For it was a land of the genie; a group of spirits with magic so potent they were forcibly bound before descending to prevent them from reshaping the world to their wishes. Just the wishes of others. Sequin Land. It was upon the main island of this continent spanning society that a certain dancing themed half-genie (not yet worthy of evolving into a full genie) was set to become the hero near the tail end of the era of legends. Just so happens she may be closer to those very same legends that she thought... Not that she actually knew much about those legends; she didn't exactly get out much... If it didn't involve the dance parlour. Still she is Red-2-Go dancing through the danger. ---- First of all expect this series to take a LOT of liberties with all three stories I am combining - it is simply a requirement when trying to intertwine the lore of three separate series. Although I believe I'm managing to do it in a rather satisfying manner. Yet that brings me to the second thing that I felt I should be open about... This story will be fairly slow as I am writing it in a way to welcome a new comers to any of the three series. Expect easily 300 chapters (at least) if I find my motivation alive throughout. I won't promise three chapters a week but I'll pray for it. --- Upload Schedule: 16:00 GMT Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday(?)

The Beast Within – The Bloodclaw (Volume 3)

The flight was only the beginning. Yulong has turned to ash, yet from the ash grow new shadows. The Dark King has changed his face—he now wears the features of a dead man, and those who look into his eyes do not see a stranger, but the neighbor from next door. His hunger is no longer his alone. His progeny roam the night, scenting life in the veins like ripe fruit, spreading like a curse across the land. Liyen follows a small flame. A tiny light in the darkness that neither flickers nor fails—the little Qi-Flame that dances through forgotten paths and leads her deeper, down into the earth where silence breathes and memories do not die, but wait. Down there, in the gullet beneath the world, the lost one is said to be. But what lurks in the depths is no prisoner—it is an exchange: A cage of flesh in which two breaths writhe—and only one may remain. Meanwhile, strangers open a door in the night. When this band of foreign adventurers appears in the darkness, the true journey has only begun. Instead of finding refuge, they find a blood-feast and smiles that almost reach the eyes. For sometimes the greatest danger is not the monster you fear, but the friend who smiles at you—whose teeth only show when the moon loses its blood. Now stands the choice: To speak the warning and be branded mad—or to remain silent and watch with living flesh as trust turns to slaughter. (Volume 3 of The Beast Within series – The Bloodclaw—a direct sequel to "Yulong") A story about how sometimes the monster does not lurk beneath the bed, but beneath the skin—and about what price it demands to wear a face that is not your own.
