Well, you’ve done it now, so here’s some very good advice
Getting stung once hurts a lot, so go and get stung twice
When will you learn not to go around chasing danger
Leave the hunting to your friends or the forest ranger
Twig already knew he should have stayed with all his friends
But he would have slowed them down, just like on most errands
So he’d stay and watch the portal and do what he could
If he could do anything to help he surely would
Achievement: Not Actually Helpful
Good job being selfless but no one else needs your help
Just go home and clean your room you sickly little welp
Minus one Attack point for being a nuisance now
You’ve already done more harm than most gods would allow

See, I wasn’t joking, take this chance to run away
Someone else will take care of this on some other day
Stop ignoring all my messages, or I’ll get mad
Don’t make me do something that will make your parents sad
As always, Twig ignored the status screens and messages
He would walk the path of one who used no statuses
He concentrated on the portal and quickly prepared
He pulled out a long knife that his kind sister had shared
Before too long, as he had feared, a swarm of bugs flew out
Twenty times the size of bees and venomous no doubt
Thousands of them poured out of the portal really fast

And Twig was standing right where the bug army had amassed
He held his breath in fear that if he moved they’d all attack
But he didn’t have to wait for soon one stung his back
He let out a scream that all the forest must have heard
And then once more message screen appeared to share a word
Achievement: Early Bird
Congratulations to that bug who stung this little dunce
Early Bird is an award that’s only given once
You and all your bee-like friends can have a level buff
Even though before you were already strong enough

Yes Twig, I know that these are not your stats I’m buffing here
But the bugs can’t read so this is where they must appear
If you still think that you have a chance then go ahead
It’s no problem for a god if one kid winds up dead
The message box hurt more than all the venom in his blood
Tears of grief and agony came out like a great flood
“Whatever god you are, I’ll kill you for all that you’ve done
Mark my words, you evil god, for I mean every one!”
Achievement: I’m Waiting
Big words for a little runt about to die at last
Dying to so weak a monster, make sure you die fast
In your next life stay at home where you belong, okay?
Finally, you shall be out of everybody’s way
Though he cursed his fate he found some comfort in one fact
At least he’d die performing a somewhat heroic act
Buying time while all his friends were safe out of harm’s way
They would bring the adults in at once to save the day

Master Dungeon Network
It was another sunny day when suddenly the world felt tremors. The world entered another era, the dungeon era. Every living being started to mutate. Spewing fire and flying like an aircraft were no more superhero things. Not everyone got the same amount of power. Some could only use it for daily courses. Some started to build groups with strong individuals, and dominate over the others. With time some structures started appearing around the world, each different than the other. The Dungeon Era started. At first most of these structures went unnoticed. But later, one by one dungeon breaks started. The small towns and cities were destroyed by the horde, killing millions. The dungeons were taken seriously thereafter. The groups started to clear more and more dungeons. They brought back hundreds of equipment and weapons from the dungeons. They brought back powerful tomes, which contained powerful skills. Soon, many people chose the new profession over anything else, The Raiders, were born. Our hero was such a raider, who from the very early days, wanted to know the origin of this dungeon system. Form a party with our hero to start a new type of journey where dungeon raiding and dungeon defense were part of a huge system, which contains many secrets. Can our hero find the secrets? Join our hero who will become the best Dungeon Master of all time. I am a new writer. I am not a native English speaker. Need all your help to make this story grow. This is not a normal dungeon raiding or dungeon core story. This will be much more. Hope to see your comments and reviews. For discussion regarding the story Discord ~Kid Sage

Quantum Rip: Welcome to Ethos
A special day has come, a day that Earth has awaited for oh so long. The day where they are finally going to try and run the reactor. This had been long-awaited and everyone dropped off their kids with a hint of dread. Hoping that nothing would go wrong, we know it did. Since else there would not be a story. I won't go into too much detail, but only simply explain what happened. Due to some malfunctioning and incorrect assumptions, the reactor overproduced energy. Something which should have been impossible according to all the known knowledge of a really advanced Earth. I mean, they have even started colonizing planets. Have done countless simulations and even built test stations in space. Yet now, something had gone when they did the same on earth. Bizarre, right? This malfunctioning and imploding of the reactor caused a massive explosion due to the instability of space itself. This is also what allowed the story to exist, as our main characters were all transported. The method is not known, nor why they survived. We can say it is for the story, for now... They all now find themselves on Ethos, eating a mouthful of dirt as they struggled for breath. Some find their situation horrible, others find it relaxing and peaceful. Some see death, others see life. Despair and hope, madness and sanity on an edge. What has fate given you? Welcome to Ethos, a planet of magic.Welcome to Ethos, a planet orbiting an exotic star.Ethos wishes you luck in surviving. Maybe, just maybe... You can someday go back, or not. -----------------Release rate: 3 chapters(1200-1400 words) a week.
