Magpie Girl Evolution and 10 other monster girl evolution stories are now live on RoyalRoad. Yes, 10 more stories.
What started as a joke among friends has grown into a whole writing challenge were we compete to see who will be the monster girl. To celebrate this, I'll be posting a bunch of...
2025-08-17 17:31:37 +0000 UTC View PostLiora waited until nightfall to begin her hunt. During the day, she spent blissful hours sleeping in Christie's house. It was a wonderful time. No pigeons or bats, and it was remarkably clean. Liora didn't have to worry about getting her feathers dirty at all.
It was also a safe space, sinc...
2025-08-17 06:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostMelina had expected the Duke to make some demands. Perhaps to supply him with magical pastries. Sell them on his behalf. Teach others how to obtain the the [Arcane Baker] class. She had expected many demands from the man, but not this one.
"I beg your pardon?" She asked, a bit stupefi...
2025-08-17 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostLiora's first instinct upon seeing the mages climbing, or rather floating, up the mountain was to fly away. Fly as fast and as far away from this place as possible. Clearly, they had somehow managed to track them down and were on their way to get Renir.
But seeing the mages make their way u...
2025-08-16 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostDuring her stay in Sunglow, Melina had always tried to remain simple and stand out as little as possible. She didn't buy any fancy-looking garments and preferred sticking with her work clothes. But currently she was very much regretting that she hadn't bought a more elaborate dress from Etrian's ...
2025-08-15 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was actually satisfying, flying over the foot of the mountain and looking at the aftermath of Liora's actions. Any hyena that spotted her flying overhead ran away yelping and mewling with its tail between its legs. There were far fewer hyenas around, too, and she could see some of them just ru...
2025-08-15 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI broke the System?
Liora fluttered her wings in disbelief. She didn't know that it was possible to break the System.
Or perhaps it is better to say that our unusual circumstances led to unusual results.
Can you just explain what happened a...
2025-08-14 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostWhy does this guy have an egg of an ice monster?! Why is he trying to sell it to these people as some magical artefact?
"Gather round, gather round. You will not find a magical artifact rarer than this!" The old man bellowed in a loud voice that carried over the market.
Liora did her best to avoid the humanoid hyena who leapt around with the agility of a cat, snarling viciously. She had no clue how she could even defeat this creature—it was far above her level. There wasn't even enough time for Liora to aim her Air Slashes.
There was a good thing about t...
2025-08-13 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post"What do you think, Miss Melina? A chance to work at the main branch of the Bakers Guild. You'll be taught all of our baking secrets and techniques, and you'll be treated as a full-fledged member of the Guild and not just an apprentice," Lord Speziale said.
The crowd let out a gasp of awe. ...
2025-08-12 06:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostLiora flew after the hyenas, ready to beat them all to pulp to get Renir's gem back. But the little creeps stuck close together as they ran with their tails between their legs. She couldn't find a good chance to get to the hyena that swallowed the gem.
She didn't give up. She was ready to c...
2025-08-12 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe ooze kept converging into a single spot, becoming increasingly denser as more of it clumped together. A small blob formed from the sludge, until finally the last bits of it were absorbed into a menacing, dark stone.
"I don't know what that is, but I don't like it one bit," Renir said.&n...
2025-08-11 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post"Two hours have passed in what felt like a blur, hasn't it, folks?" Lord Speziale said with a smile as all contestants stood by their workstations with ready dishes in front of them.
Melina looked at the other creations with great interest. She knew they would be no pushovers, but seeing wh...
2025-08-10 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe corrupted, nasty hyena charged at Liora so fast she barely had the time to take flight. Its giant maw closed on the very tip of her tail feathers.
Ew, ew, ew! That will get infected now for sure! Will I have to cut off my tail to keep it from spreading?
"What is going on?...
2025-08-09 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostYay! Taste of Magic officially has 100 chapters released on Patreon! To celebrate this occasion, I made a little something for you to enjoy.
Now this is made with AI, so if it's not your cup of tea, I understand. Feel free to ignore this and continue reading chapters. This is just something...
2025-08-08 06:05:00 +0000 UTC View PostAlistair didn't like this. He didn't like this one bit. The way Count Speziale had approached Melina. The fact that he recognized her as a System user from a mere glance. Sure, the man was older and more experienced than Alistair, so he probably could recognize the signs much better. But the man ...
2025-08-08 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostMelina looked in surprise at Alistair's little sister, who was staring at Sienna. She then glanced at Alistair, hoping to find a solution from him. But he looked utterly helpless—apparently, he hadn't expected her to just bring Sienna out in the open like that.
"Is that a real monster?" T...
2025-08-07 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostLiora had been terrified when she saw the black owl slice through the moth. She feared that it might end much the same way as the fight with the hawk. It turned out she was worried for nothing.
"Buh-rup!" She mimicked the <Paralysis Croak> almost automatically to see whether it would ...
2025-08-06 06:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostAlistair felt like he was heading into a battlefield, almost to war. He stood at the entrance gate of Sinclair's summer house in Pertia. Well, it wasn't quite in Pertia, but rather a bit outside the city. It was a grand manor done in the northern style more typical for Fenrora—long spires, thic...
2025-08-05 06:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAs much as Renir wanted for Liora to start beating monsters into submission, she had different intentions. She needed to eat something first.
But obviously, she couldn't fly into town with this nice satchel around her neck. That would just give those cursed mages a clue as to where th...
2025-08-04 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostShould I really do this? This is crazy! What if I run into the Duke? There's no way that would end well.
These and similar thoughts passed through Melina's mind as she slowly made her way to Alistair's house. She had a box with her new pastries—a few tiny shimmertartlets, the fru...
2025-08-03 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"So our goal is to attract as many of those hawks as possible," Renir said, as Liora stealthily hid in the tree canopy.
She made sure to stick to dark shadows so nobody would be able to notice her. It appeared to be working, because she'd seen at least three hawks monitoring the skies...
2025-08-02 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostMelina hurriedly pulled Leliana inside, closing the door behind herself. "Master, there's something I need to discuss with Leliana. We'll be in my room."
"Since when did you two grow so close?" Gilbert asked suspiciously as Melina pulled Leliana through the kitchen.
"What are yo...
2025-08-01 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostMelina gaped at Leon in shock. She had expected him to ask different things. Like how she knew how to control magic? Was she a System user? Where did she get her knowledge from while being so young? All very valid questions. But she never expected Leon to ask her to teach him magic.
"No!" M...
2025-07-31 06:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Chak-chak…" Liora let out weakly. She had been running on pure adrenaline before, because once she returned to her nest, the pain hit her like a truck. The giant one that carries cement blocks or something. Because damn, did it hurt!
"You don't sound good at all…" Renir noted nervously...
2025-07-30 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostMelina hesitated for only a second. Only for a brief moment did she wonder whether she should get involved. The next moment, she was already by Leon's side.
"Put on a hard surface like a table and make sure nobody else enters the room!" Melina instructed.
The adventurers looked confus...
2025-07-29 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIt was early morning. The sun wasn't even peeking into Liora's nest yet. But there was some sort of noise.
Must be those pesky sparrows. They start chirping before the sun even properly rises.
Liora buried her beak deeper beneath her wing and forced herself back into dreamlan...
2025-07-28 06:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThank you everyone for your support and giving me time to recover. I'm feeling much better now and I'm on my way to full recovery. There still some mild post-illness fatigue, but it's not so bad that I wouldn't be able to write. Regular posting schedule will resume tomorrow. That is four chapter...
2025-07-27 05:31:01 +0000 UTC View Post"That's a lot of monster toads in one area," Renir mused, as he and Liora observed the lakeside.
"A lot!" Liora agreed.
It actually seemed like there were more toads than before. Perhaps last time she came during some quiet time. There were clusters of toads everywhere, some wit...
2025-07-23 06:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post"Sister, do you know where the humans are now?" She asked her magpie sister. While her own nest was well-hidden in a tree hollow, it wasn't
