《Doll of Death》Chapter 3
Advertisement
I get into position laying in the dark as a pile of rocks and wait to see what is approaching.
(Young Man) "What's with the smell of blood?"
(Young Woman) "It's coming from those monster corpses."
(Gruff Young Man) "What monster leaves behind its spoils of battle? Doesn't it need food?"
It's a group of people. They are probably the so-called "adventurers" people who can't get a real job and resort to doing work the government is too lazy and cheap to send soldiers to do. Let's appraise them.

Too strong! I can't afford to fight them, I'm too weak. Let's just run away. I get up and start running away.
(Chase) "Woah! You saw that Stone Puppet run."
(Emily) "Maybe it saw us as scary and decided to leave."
(Dave) "Who cares, there's nothing to gain fighting Stone Puppets."

(Chase) "It's surprisingly fast for a Stone Puppet. Might be a Unique Stone Puppet."
(Emily) "Even if it is there's still nothing to gain."
(Dave) "Let's just take some of the Scorpion's exoskeleton back since it's in great condition."
They walk towards the corpses and examine them.
(Dave) "whistles They were all killed by one or two blunt hits."
(Chase) "Blunt hits? I wonder if the Stone Puppet killed them? It's only form of attacking are it's blunt hands."
(Emily) "Most likely, if it could kill a scorpion like this in 2 hits it's either at least level 10 or has unique skills to increase damage output. Both dangerous, the latter more so. If any reports in the future talk about a bizarrely strong stone puppet appear we pretend this never happened. Agreed?"
(Chase & Dave) "Yeah."
The small party takes what they want and proceed to head back from where they first came in. Right after they leave a small shadow creeps out of the darkness and heads toward the monster corpses and proceeds to swallow them. After it has its meal it proceeds to crawl back into the darkness and in the direction of where the Doll of Death went to.
A few minutes after I ran I was in a different passageway looking around. I found a group of three level 4 goblins. I observed them and snuck up behind them right when I was in position I attack the back of two of their necks instantly killing them and rush to the third one kicking him in the family jewels killing him.
Level Up! Reached Level 4!
I leveled up good. Now that that's over I should see some of the details on the new things the adventurers had.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
