《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 34: Group Assembled, Time to Move Out!
Advertisement
Soon, Lorne returned to the village.
At this moment, the Beginner Village was very lively. People appeared on the resurrection array one after another. They were all players who had failed the dungeon and revived in the village.
However, failure did not affect their fighting spirit. This group of players still rushed towards the wilderness excitedly. They went to level up. After they finished leveling up, they would still enter the dungeon.
This was all because in the dungeon, the drop-rate of monsters had increased. Although the value of the White Iron equipment had decreased, to ordinary players, the income from being able to drop a piece of equipment had reached the expected amount.
Passing through the streets, Lorne arrived at his destination.
In the corner of the village square, he found Super Rich.
"Greetings, God-tier player. This is my greeting gift."
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man smiled as he walked over with a gem. This treasure that was worth at least a few hundred thousand was like a useless rock in his hands. He handed it to Lorne without hesitation.
Moreover, this middle-aged tycoon did not have the arrogance of a 'big shot'. At this moment, he was more like an admirer of Lorne. If one only looked at him this way, it was hard to imagine that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man could casually toss out a million dollars.
"You're too polite." Grinning, Lorne accepted the gem.
He used it directly.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations on obtaining Pet Space+1."
After a pleasant reminder, Lorne gained a new pet space. This way, he could contract another pet.
But now was not the time.
He had to create a team first.
Then, he gathered the remaining few people.
Although he did not need the help of his teammates, he needed money. In order to give his sister the best treatment, he needed a lot, a lot of money.

"Ding!"
"Player [Super Rich-Level 1] has joined the team."
Only Level 1?
Lorne was surprised to see the notification.
This rich player was too weak. The game had been on for more than 24 hours and he was only Level 1. Had he been traveling the entire day?
Super Rich smiled awkwardly, "I'm old and don't know how to play. I originally killed pheasants and reached Level 2, but after I walked out of the wheat field, I was quickly bitten to death by the demonized wild dogs."
"Don't worry. Just follow behind the team and don't wander around." Lorne casually replied.
In any case, he did not want to rely on the teammates he recruited. After all, they could not even clear Hard Dungeons. They were too weak.
"Alright, leader. I won't wander around." Super Rich smiled and nodded. He then asked, "Should we challenge the dungeon now?"
"Wait a while longer. There are still a few people left."
There was still half an hour to go before the appointed time.
As for the Twinkle Rose, Lorne did not ask. Since he had already sold a ticket, her choice was not important anymore. Besides, he had already discussed this with her. If she did not plan to join in, there was no way that he would force her.
But at that moment, Super Rich said something astonishing.
"Leader, why don't we stop waiting? I'll buy the remaining spots. The two of us will go clear the dungeon now. When the full-server announcement appears, it will be even more shocking to see only two names on it."
When he thought of the scene of the two of them clearing the dungeon on their own, Super Rich felt inexplicably excited, as if the cost was nothing to him.

Lorne's expression grew odd. In order to save time, this man was planning to use three million alliance dollars to buy the other spots. It had to be said that the mind of the richest man was very different from that of a normal person.
But that seemed a little immoral.
While it was exciting to fleece a rich man, it was not in his nature to fleece one person over and over. It would be best to wait until the outcome was decided, then reluctantly accept his offer.
"Don't worry. It'll be another half an hour before my promise expires."
"Alright then, I'll try to recruit some people. If we can't recruit anyone in this half an hour, then the two of us will enter the dungeon."
"No problem."
Lorne nodded. He could understand the thought of Super Rich. After all, he never lacked money. What he lacked was time. If he had half an hour extra in reality, the money he earned would be ten times of 4 million, or even more.
Just as Lorne was feeling rueful, a series of announcements suddenly appeared in the Beginner Village's chat channel.
"Brothers, our Leader Tyrant is preparing to take the first clear of [Valley of the Dead]. There are still three spots left, going at one million alliance dollars each. Friends who are interested, don't hesitate and quickly join the team. Here, I 'Super Rich' solemnly promise that if we fail to clear it, I will refund all of you." +1
"Brothers…" +2
"Brothers…" +3
"Brothers…" +4
"..."
"Brothers…" +100
Starting from the first announcement, the chat of the Beginner Village had been refreshing non-stop. Half an hour later, there were a hundred new announcements.
The players were dumbfounded.
One had to know that every chat notification in the Beginner Village cost 1 gold coin!
100 announcements cost 100 gold coins!
According to the highest price of the black market, this was 500,000 alliance dollars!
In an instant, the name "Super Rich" became popular in the game. Everyone knew of this person.
Furthermore, no one would doubt his words. Although three million was a large sum of money to ordinary people, it was nothing compared to a tycoon's wealth.
Seeing this situation, the players who were still wavering began to be tempted.
Ten minutes after the announcement, someone contacted Lorne and took the initiative to pay him 1 million alliance dollars as the 'ticket' cost.
At that moment, a message came from Twinkle Rose.
"I want the remaining three spots. I'll transfer you the money now."
"I'm sorry, big-busted sister. I received two invoices a second before you sent the message. There's only one slot left."
Lorne sent her three cigar emojis, as if mocking her.
Damn little brother!
Twinkle Rose gritted her teeth, resisting the urge to curse as she requested, "I want the last spot."
Soon, Lorne received the last transfer, and the five-person team was officially completed. The group met in the Beginner Village and headed to the dungeon entrance of [Valley of the Dead].

Viceroy's Pride
This story could be about the Tellask Empire, ruler of a thousand suns and faced with imminent peril at the hands of the Orakh hordes. It could be about Paltai Amberell, the scion of a noble elven House, fallen upon hard times and seeking to find the key that will restore his family's name and save the Empire itself. It could be the story of his voidship, The Viceroy's Pride, powered by magic and crewed by a team of crack marines as they search for adventure and the solution to the Empire's myriad problems. Instead, this is the story of Daniel Thrush, human electrical engineer, befuddled researcher and survivor of the debacle that was first contact with a spacefaring civilization. Due to a combination of luck, magic, hard work, and more luck he is thrust into the center of events as Earth is shoved onto a much larger stage rife with semi-immortal elves and magical kingdoms that predate the Earthly invention of agriculture. Earth is outnumbered, and we have precisely one wizard. Dan. He's not very good at it, but he's going to have to learn in a hurry or watch everything he knows get torn apart by massive spacefaring empires straight from the pages of a fantasy novel. ---------- Some readers have noted that the MC tends to be weak willed and pushed around a bit. A significant portion of the story is his character growth into not being a pushover (i.e. him being passive is in the early chapters on purpose). I'm just including this caveat/warning to make sure that readers aren't surprised/upset and that they stick with it until he learns to stand up for himself. His arc begins to crystallize around chapters 25-27. If that's too long to wait, I get it, I'm just trying to do my due diligence and warn you that the character development is a bit of a slow burn. This is NOT a harem novel. Nothing against them, just not what it is. --------- Updates Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday Feel free to bother me on our discord- Discord!

Primal Adaptation
The story of a little soul that ends up tangled in the games and bets of entities that utilize beasts of any primordial planet as a game avatar to make the Perfect Primal. This tale is not only its story because it will also share its destiny with the entity that will help it in its journey, and together they will rise from their particular situations one way or another. Primal Adaptation is a history with some RPG elements in it, but the MC can't look at a status screen or skill page because it's a beast through and through. I have implemented an evolution system for all the creatures of this story, where they grow or mutate depending on what they consume. In this tale, you won't find a Deus ex machina to give the protagonist power-ups. Everything must be learned and comprehended before its use unless it's something it gets immediately, or the abilities get understood by instinct. In essence, it is survival and gambit for opportunities, be it from one MC or the other.

After All
This is not my story. My story was of a world I forged by my raw will, and of you, my children, forged of my dreams. That story has long since ended. Our world was not alone. Another deity came from beyond my sight, and despite our resistance rent our world asunder. In the end, all was lost and you were gone. That I survived your passing is a testament to the cruelty of existence; I cannot forgive existence for the monstrous crime of making me go on without you. This is the story of a new world, forged by the hands of fools. That it is made from the bones of that which I most hated will bring this place no absolution. In the fullness of time, I will seize the reins of this new narrative, and I shall end it. You are lost to me, my children. I will make a funeral pyre of all reality for you, and be with you in oblivion after all. --- DocSumac here. This is a story that has been rattling around in my head for years. It's not complete, but I'm not going to let it haunt me anymore. I'm uploading what is ready, and I'll add more as I can. --- Addendum May 20, 2020: I've added the Sex tag. Not because of actual smut, but becuase of what will probably devolve into an ongoing parade of dick jokes. No point denying my nature.
