TheUnrustable: So Rycran, have you been strolling through the boards looking at the tactics for tomorrow?
RycranSeacrest: Very little.
WarriorPrincess: Why not? Seems like it would be good to prepare.
RycranSeacrest: Or a great way to skew expectations. First_of_his_kind has access to the message boards as well, and I’m sure he would love for me to plan around what he’s already done. Knowing him, he probably has several tricks he hasn’t shown yet.
First_of_his_kind: Now what makes you think I have something up my sleeve? *Cackles maniacally*
RycranSeacrest: See what I mean? He’s devious.
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: Devious? I’ld call him sadistic.
First_of_his_kind: The middle part of your name sounds familiar. Have I killed you recently?
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: Yes!
ThePatman: How did he off you? Traps?
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: No. The b****** shot me in the f****** face! Twice!
*I am a bot. Please refrain from swearing in chat. You have been flagged. Repeated flagging before the timer expires will result in silencing and eventually expulsion.*
First_of_his_kind: I REMEMBER YOU! In my defense, you were just sitting there after getting resurrected, kinda like you were asking for it.
WarriorPrincess: “They were asking for it” isn’t really a good defense.
First_of_his_kind: Fine, maybe I thought his name was McShootyFace?
TheUnrustable: Still not the most ignoble death in the dungeon.
WhatsUpChuck: Who has that honor?
TheUnrustable: I do. Stuck my head in a hole looking for enlightenment.
WhatsUpChuck: . . .
Lilak’n’Lillies: HAHAHAHAHA! NOT ANYMORE!
TheUnrustable: Say what now?
WhatsUpChuck: Oh, please don’t.
Lilak’n’Lillies: You have been immortalized. There is a giant hole in one of the walls, called The Unrustable Hole of Glory, or something like that.
WhatsUpChuck: Please don’t say it.
Lilak’n’Lillies: Chuck here decided to stick his head in a “Glory hole sized for a minotaur.”

TheUnrustable: AHAHAHAHAHAHA
WarriorPrincess: Too funny
First_of_his_kind: Don’t worry Chuck. You weren’t the only one. Last time I checked, that hole had claimed four victims.
LoremasterEddy has entered the chat.
LoremasterEddy: Putting a call out for everyone, a quest from the loremasters.
FirestarterOzai: Go on
LoremasterEddy: Anyone who can decipher this text, and tell the Loremaster clan what language it is in will receive 100 platinum in game as well as an enchantment of their choosing.
WhatsUpChuck: Holy Shooooooot!
TheUnrustable: Lay it on us!
LoremasterEddy:

First_of_his_kind: Hehehe, that looks familiar. Shockingly familiar.
LoremasterEddy: You know it?!
First_of_his_kind: Eyuuuuup.
Likes2Lurk: *chuckles*
Likes2Lurk: Nice one First.
LoremasterEddy: What does it say?
Likes2Lurk: The offer still stands even if you don’t like what it says, right?
LoremasterEddy: The loremasters clan doesn’t go back on their word.
Likes2Lurk: Very well. It is written in braille, and says, “Like a blind man reading, I’m feeling it.”
LoremasterEddy: I’ve never seen that language in the game. Where did you find it?
WarriorPrincess: I get it! HAHAHAHAHA
WhatsUpChuck: That gets a groan from me
LoremasterEddy: THE LANGUAGE! WHERE!
FirestarterOzai: Calm your tits Ed. Braille isn’t in the game, it’s a real life form of writing. The bumps provide something for blind people so they can read.
LoremasterEddy: But. But it’s in the game. Why would they?
RycranSeacrest: I think First’s prank just broke him.
First_of_his_kind: Not my fault he wasn’t compatible with puns.
LoremasterEddy: I won’t stand for this! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
TableBot: ┬─┬ ノ( ゜-゜ノ) Please don’t flip tables. I am a bot that rights flipped tables.
Likes2Lurk: Now that’s a bot I haven’t seen in a while.
BettingBot: Greetings! I am a bot here to remind you about the grudge match tomorrow! The battle will be played live in all local inns and arenas. In addition, you may bet on all sorts of things. Who will die first? How many times will people die? Will the dungeon be completed? There are even bets on how long until the first death. Currently people have placed 9,175,554,444 bets.

RycranSeacrest: That’s a lot of bets.
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: Yeah, a lot of the betting places have been running 24 hours a day and there are still lines out the door.
Dairy_Airman has logged on
Dairy_Airman: Heya everybody!
WarriorPrincess: Hey Airman
WhatsUpChuck: hi
RycranSeacrest: Hey Airman.
FirestarterOzai: I suddenly see a fleet of airplanes piloted by cows. Thanks for that.
First_of_his_kind: I bet he was going for something a little more crude than that.
Dairy_Airman: You know it! Gotta get around those filters somehow. Just takes a bit of creativity.
Dairy_Airman: So, I hear the guy who is playing the monster in the fort is here, that true?
First_of_his_kind: It is.
Dairy_Airman: Sweet! Can you tell me how to get one of those awesome statues?
WhatsUpChuck: What statues? The one in the main chamber?
Dairy_Airman: Naw dude, there’s this hidden alcove thingy. A buddy found a gnarly statue in there.
WarriorPrincess: I thought that alcove was empty? Something about treasure being in another location.
First_of_his_kind: Luck of the draw. I put a statue in after a few groups go through with the thing empty.
LoremasterEddy: Wait, you crafted that?
First_of_his_kind: You got one?
LoremasterEddy: I got two drakelings piercing a knight’s chest with spears. The detail on that is fantastic. I could see the blood droplets on the spear tip.
Dairy_Airman: Wait, there are different ones? My buddy got a drakeling smith working in a forge.
WhatsUpChuck: I want one too!
First_of_his_kind: Sorry guys, I’m far too busy to take commissions. So I wish you luck on getting into the dungeon tomorrow and finding one.
Dairy_Airman: Don’t do me like that bro!
First_of_his_kind: It’s not you bro. It’s me.
Likes2Lurk: Savage.
WarriorPrincess: Wow, our little lurker has spoken a lot today. What’s the occasion?
Likes2Lurk: . . .
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: And he’s back to being silent.
First_of_his_kind: Alright everyone, it’s been fun but I gotta go. Lot to do for tomorrow.
WarriorPrincess: Later
RycranSeacrest: See you soon
First_of_his_kind has logged off.
RycranSeacrest: Alright, didn’t want to ask with him still here, but rumor has it nobody has made it past the second floor. Truth?
GrumbleGnumbleMonster: True as far as I know.
LoremasterEddy: that’s what we have found out as well.
Lilak’n’Lillies: Second floor only.
RycranSeacrest: Ok, thanks everyone. I’m out.
Lilak’n’Lillies: Good luck tomorrow
GrumbleGnumbleMonser: Give ‘em hell
RycranSeacrest has logged off.

Celestial Teahouse System [Slice Of Life LitRPG]
“I guess this is the end of my lifespan? How pathetic.” An infamous Immortal Emperor from Black Heaven Realm was at the end of his lifespan as he shut his old and wrinkled eyelids, awaiting his impending death with a hint of regret. However, when he was on his last breath– the serenity was disrupted by a simple-looking pebble that started glowing intensely out of nowhere as it entered his dantian and he lost consciousness. After what seemed like forever, he finally woke up and to his amazement– he discovered that his body had recovered to the state of his once youthful self with his cultivation only regressing by a little, while ending up in a foreign world filled with modern technology– Earth. He realized that a mysterious robotic voice had suddenly established its presence in his mind unknowingly, issuing him missions and rewards that would help and guide him in a certain direction. Enjoying his new life with a carefree attitude in a new world, running a teahouse with the help of the Celestial Teahouse System– Li Qu will slowly unravel the mysteries behind the pebble and the reason for his transmigration. Was he the only one to do so? Or was there a deeper meaning behind all of this? Will be releasing chapters daily until it gets knocked off the Rising Star list. From then on, it'll be Monday - Friday. Important Note: It's written in a style of a 'Chinese-translated-to-English' type of story. I get the confusion in the earlier chapters, however– NO harem. It's mostly a turn-off-your-brain chill type of story. Author's Note: As this is the first story that I've ever written, there will be occasional errors and as such, please forgive me in advance.

Code Reader Kagami (LitRPG)
Sometimes things happen in this world that we are not in control of. Sometimes we are to a certain degree, and sometimes we are completely in control. However, this is a tale that constantly questions those boundaries. The story follows Kagami, a young programmer, as he winds up in a world almost alien to him. If it were up to him, he would have never visited this world and would rather stay raising his young daughter. Was it through his own actions that he had wound up here? Was it due to several combinations of factors? Or was it something he completely chose. These are questions that constantly haunt Kagami’s mind as he wanders this world and ponders his actions. Unfortunately, the glaring truth of it all refuses to ever look him in the eyes. Each night as he looks up at the night sky, he wonders if the end of this would turn out like the game he made. A tale of Guts and Glory… or would it turn out like he fears, a tale of blood and tears. Regardless of how it turns out, he will one day unveil the truth enshrouding it all. And perhaps in doing so, unveil the fate of his old world, enshrouded by mystery. ___________________________________________________________________________ While this is a typical Isekai started by the infamous truck-kun, the story is most definitely not what is to be taken at face value. I love making tragic twists into these types of stories. For Code Reader Kagami, you'll begin to see a descent into psychological madness. As your hero changes entirely from the moral man he initially was. If you're not a fan of dark aspect stories, this one is not for you. Thank you~

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
