CHAPTER SEVEN
Even other gods are wondering what's going on?

Meanwhile, his friends had arrived on the outskirts of town
And when they saw an old farmer they quickly flagged him down
But just before they got is attention their status changed
Status messages popped up and numbers rearranged

Hurry leaf, your friend is not as safe as he should be
Something awful might happen which I could not foresee
Hurry back to help young Twig before it is too late
All he has the strength to do alone is curse his fate

Pebble, you must quickly get help and go back to Twig
His guardian betrayed him like some cruel treacherous pig
Your quest is to try defending him from what has come
Friendship is where most of your true power will come from

You must ride the wind to render aid to your old friend
If you fail your heart will surely break and never mend
Use your gifts to help the weak around you and be strong
Twig is still alive but his luck won’t hold out for long
The three friends were alarmed by what the messages had said
“Come on boys, if we don’t hurry, Twig could end up dead”
They called the farmer over and explained they had to run
Luckily the farmer’s hero days were far from done

Hurry old man, this is not a quest to take lightly
Someone’s child is now in peril, you must go quickly
Help those children and I’ll give you any stats you need
Something in this situation is quite strange indeed
Todd was old and grey but far from ready to retire
When somebody needed him, he’d unleash all his fire
A weak magician but a man with power in his fist
And when he picked a target to punch he had never missed
“A tiny portal eh, that could be something serious
But the messages we received are quite curious
Bring me there and waste no time, we’ll save your little friend
I’m a hero on which any children can depend”
They starting running right away, with leaf taking the lead
Retracing their steps along the way with awesome speed
“I hope the portal turns out to be nothing to scary”
Pebble’s optimism helped, but Sky was still wary
“Something doesn’t seem quite right at all with this whole thing
Even now our guardians say Twig’s is not helping
For all the effort he’s put in, our friend is far from strong”
Sky held her tears back as she spoke and quickly flew along
Even though her goddess had been kind to her before
As she was a girl that any goddess would adore
Never had a message from her goddess felt this way
And what she read next was not common for gods to say
Achievement: Observer
Sky, you know that gods can’t tamper with your realm too much
We could damage it beyond repair with just a touch
And the System watches us to make sure we abide
But I feel something's coming which puts us on the same side

Mud's Mission
The story begins with an elderly hermit mage living on the outskirts of a labyrinth town. Invoking spellwork that is trivial for a mage of his caliber, he creates a simple mud automaton to aid him in household chores. However, in the middle of his efforts, something goes wrong; his ancient heart finally fails. Now, half complete and with limited understanding of the world, an artificial being of mud stirs. Despite its limitations, it has a mission to fulfill. The last instructions of a dying creator. "Defend my home, and my possessions." To the mechanical mind of Mud, only absolute perfection is acceptable when fulfilling the orders of The Master. Mud will make sure nothing in the universe will ever threaten The Master's home! --- This fiction contains RPG elements such as skills and levels. The protagonist has an inhuman mind and acts on instincts and preferences that are completely different from those of a normal human, and may at times fly in the face of common sense. The general tone is lighthearted, but there are some scenes with disturbing content such as mind control and references to torture. Join our Discord to discuss the novel or chat with the author.

Left to the will of the gods, the helpless child waited for his death. However, the gods showed mercy. A young wolf cub, lost and cut off from its mother, stumbled over the young Ollowyn. Half frozen to death and dead tired, it snuggled to the warm body. When it was found by the mother just hours later, Ollowyn already smelled like one of her own. Adopted and cared for he grew up among wolves. He learned to live after the rules of the pack, continuously fighting to survive. As the years went by, he grew stronger than his brothers and sisters, hunted with different means. But even though he loved and adored his family, he noticed more and more that he was different. No fur, no claws and as much as he tried, his teeth would never find prey by themselves. What made him different? The urge to find answers grew with every day, until he set out aged seven to find them. But after days of searching hunger and exhaustion brought him to his knees as he collapsed on a dusty road. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- German Version can be found on RR as well. https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/19996/sword-of-ending-german.
