Steel Waste Chapter 271
Advertisement
Afton glances between the two healthy lobotomites, the one missing an arm, and the two cyberdogs glaring at him behind the lobotomites. He didn't really know if they'd continue shooting sonic blasts at him or simply charge his position... He wasn't exactly looking forward to seeing how painful their enhanced bites would feel.
The lobotomite whose arm he'd cut off seemed to be in a lot of pain, but wasn't losing all that much blood. He wasn't lying when he'd said these weapons were like lightsabers. Their wound had been cauterized by his simple slash...
The lobotomite in question seemed to shrug off the pain however, picking up another dropped holo-axe-thing with the remaining arm and charging him, the other two seemingly allowing them to test the waters.
Afton dodged backwards to avoid the wild slash and chops down in anticipation of the next, freeing the lobotomite of their other hand. Not wasting any time, he uses his other axe and slashes the lobotomite at the waist, cutting them completely in half...
He didn't even have time to be surprised at the sheer power of these weapons as he was forced to throw himself to the side axe two more shockwaves shot by the cyberdogs pass his position. Once he was out of his roll the two other lobotomites were already upon him.
Afton blocked one attack by locking the axe handles together, and was forth to do the same for the next attack. His arms were restrained while trying to hold back the attacks of both lobotomites, if he didn't have 13 Strength right now the enemy would be overpowering him.
While he's preparing to throw them off of him he's stuck in the side by a punch, one of the lobotomite's taking the opportunity to attack around the axe. In response, Afton slams his foot down on their knee, breaking it inwards in a spectacularly disgusting fashion.

Just as he was about to take advantage of the now crippled enemy, he notices the cyberdogs running towards him. "HAARRRGH!" he cries as he forces the enemies back wit hall his strength, throwing them off of their feet from the sheer force of it.
Immediately afterwards he turns towards the cyberdogs that were slowly circling him as if they were wolves and he was prey... They were definitely smarter than your average dog, or average cyberdog for that matter.
He holds both axes in a ready stance as he slowly turns to face them, idling noting that the dogs were separating and beginning to flank him. He glances towards where the lobotomites were and notes that the still healthy one was getting to their feet-
The cyberdog, either noticing his attention being elsewhere or just losing their patience finally snarl and charge him. Afton had expected this and prepares to slam his axes into the dog and hopefully cut them in two.
But before the dog is in range it stops back quickly backs away again... His eyes widen when he realises what it's plan is-
*BARK!*
Again, he's thrown through the air, wildly spinning as if he'd been hit by a sportscar. He doesn't lose concentration though, even if he was feeling slightly nauseous. He concentrates on the cyberdog as he flies over it, prepared to slash at it when he hits the ground.
*SLAM!*
"OOF!" he lands with a groan, and can already hear the cyberdogs paws pattering across the stone. He waits for couple more moments before swinging an axe in its position, feeling a small amount of resistance as he hears a pained yelp.
Turning towards it, he spots the attacking cyberdog that'd had half of its body cut off at an angle. He wastes no time and slashes an axe past its head, putting it out of its misery as he looks towards the remaining cyberdog and lobotomite.

Seeing them somewhat apprehensive about approaching him, he lets the axes clatter to the ground and drops to his knee while pulling his Anti-Material rifle off of his back. Seeing this the enemy breaks into a sprint towards him, but they are unable to stop him from firing a couple of shots.
*BAAANG!!*
A 50. calibre bullet tears through the brain dome of the remaining cyberdog, passing through its head, and continuing into its torso, causing so much damage that even a necromancer wouldn't attempt to bring it back.
Quickly, he pulls the bolt and prepares another shot, aiming it directly at the chest of the approaching lobotomite...
*BAANG!!*
The sheer force of the bullet throws them backwards, a huge hole forming where their heart used to be. They fall lifelessly to the ground, their heart, spine, and most of their lungs having been unceremoniously removed.
Afton grins as he discharges the empty 50. cal shell via the bolt, afterwards slinging the weapon back over his shoulder to be ready for further use in future if he needed it. He gets to his feet and draws Lucky and starts reloading it, opening the wheel and sliding .357 rounds into their respective housing.
He walks over to the crippled lobotomite who was still for some reason, trying to crawl towards him. He points the gun at their head and executes them without any fanfare, granting the blue grass more sustenance via whatever fluids leak into the earth.
Now with the enemies dead, Afton is able to take a look at the futuristic axes the enemy had been wielding... He picks one up and slowly examines it, only now noticing a hidden button on the side. He presses it and causes the blue holo-blade to cut out, leaving just a metal handle... Raising a brow, he uses his inventory to get the proper stats of the weapon.

Contention
August Marlow had always been an echo of those around him, finding safety in the diffusion of his presence amongst the larger group. His whole life had been a slow declination of self, trading away parts of himself to retain his sense of belonging. He'd never stepped forward to make his wants heard or to put a voice to his anger because to offer up something like that would be exposing weakness or highlighting vulnerability. With a strange system projected into his mind, an Island called Devil's Nest and without a group to lose himself within—For the first time in his life, August is forced to step into the role of the decision-maker, and the stakes couldn't be higher.

The Core, The Recordings of Raan - Fantasy LitRPG Story
The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air. Then I remember what I was told, breathe in deeply, trying to steady my mind, smooth my anger, letting the blue vertigo take me with it, letting myself go...Hard-time convicts from a space orbital penitentiary are sent to a hostile planet where odds of survival are minimal. To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.

Gamer
This story is abandoned and has not been authorized for distribution on any sites but RoyalRoad. Given the Gamer ability after shattering a crystal inside a game, Jon's world is upturned as he is thrown into a life he considered fantasy. Making new enemies and encountering a god, he cannot escape the quest which is forced on him. Different worlds and different situations, can he come out on top? He's neither perfect nor a saint, he is Jon. Welcome to Gamer. This has been dropped, I didn't like the way I forced a few plotpoints and I lost my notes on the story itself. Read below if you want to be spoilered. As far as I recall, he would change race into a higher human after using a spell to overload his mana repeatably until his body forcibly adapts, he would train up his rift usage spell with some better targets than God's Realm because he keeps hitting his stats limit until the cost lowers enough that he can actually grind it. His world is being invaded by multiple worlds, so the god had many backup plans where a lot of people went into their own fantasy settings and came back to defend Earth. Jon never is the strongest one out there, he has to keep grinding and grinding before he gets stronger than the other heroes, and at that point the invasion is nearing the final stretch. Jon's two biggest advantages is that he can keep grinding without hitting a cap he can't evolve, and that even when he is eventually killed. He would have respawned in the nearest 'Safe Zone' after dropping a level and everything he did to gain that level. I also had a bunch of ideas for mini-arcs where he would play in multiple worlds in multiple situations, not that great of an idea in retrospect.

Immortal Shards
In the boundless multiverse, all possibilities, no matter how remote, exist somewhere. Universes are born, or are created, and die, or do not.

A shard may be a Mage Shard, allowing one to use mana to attack with the elements and produce fantastical, reality bending spells. A shard may also be a Warrior shard, channeling elemental and mana power into one’s physical form, shaped into projectiles, or various other uses; or it can be a Immortal Shard, with the abilities of a Warrior and Mage shard both, and others besides. Anyone who forms an Immortal Shard has the potential to shock the vast planes of reality! In the eternal struggle between the living, who will gain advantage, and for how long? Who will live and who will die? Who will protect and guide the commoners, and fight rogue Mystics and Beasts? Into this world, a child with a potential beyond his wildest imaginations is born.
