《I am System》Adventure

The figure walked across the burning sand under the glaring sun. Its throat completely parched, and its fat nowhere to be seen. Through the black haggard cloak, one could see a skinny non-human, clearly a feline-type. It had not much flesh remaining, mainly bones, and burnt fur of unknown colour.
Its listless eyes stared into the void as it slowly collapsed, and fell down from atop the dune it was trying to cross.
Tumbling down in the sand, the non-human landed on his back as he stared into the bright sky, unable to move much.
At this moment, a window popped up.

Do you wish to live?

Back in the Central continent, Mason was on his way to the capital of the Bard kingdom.
With the meagre savings he had, he rented a seat in a caravan of the ‘RedForce Company’, the largest and most successful merchant company in all of the Bard kingdom, holding a tight grasp over the financial system of the kingdom.
Naturally, that was excluding the royal family itself.
Along the way, Mason had dozed off at some point. There was not much on him beside the wolf skin, which he kept on himself after completely washing it clean using river water near the town gate.
Other than the wolfskin, Mason also had a few copper with him from the sale of the items he had scavenged from the wolf.
All the different nations had their own types of currency, however, every nation allowed for barter between each other, which, along with the wills of the gods, made every nation stick to a simple standard.
1 gold = 20 silver = 20 copper
And although the engravings on these coins from each nation were different, their sizes were the same, the currency from one nation could be used in any nation other than the deserted Southern Continent, and the Mysterious Northern Continent.

Naturally, most countries had their own upper limits to this system for their nobles and royalties, with crystal and even platinum coins. Some rich countries even kept diamond coins, but this information was nothing but rumours to Mason.
He simply had too little for anyone to rob from, not to mention that this was a RedForce caravan, and stealing from a client of their meant facing the wrath of the entire RedForce company.
Suddenly, the caravan had stopped and the driver was yelling in a calm tone.
“Dear clients, do no panic. Some disturbances have appeared. Do not worry, we, The RedForce, will take care of them.”
The way the driver was speaking showed that he had spoken this very line uncountable times and by now his lips were moving faster than his brain could comprehend.
Everyone in the caravan became slightly nervous, but did not rush out. They headed the instructions of the driver and waited calmly.
Mason was awoken by the driver’s squeaky voice and blinked a few times before stretching.
It was currently 3:42 am Local time, according to the system. After the system update, a clock had appeared on the top left of the screen, which made a lot of things easier for Mason.
Seeing the nervous tension in the air, Mason readied his knife he had with him. He currently did not have any money for a sword, and even if he had one, using it with a missing leg would only put him more off-balance.
“It’s just goblins!” yelled a loud and booming voice.
Mason stuck his head out the front of the carriage along with the other people, only to see nothing but the back of a middle-aged man.
Realising it was the driver casually sitting on the front of the carriage, still holding onto the reigns of the ropes to the horses, Mason struggled a little and finally got his head through the crows of fellow travellers inside the carriage and got a clear picture of the ‘obstacle’ the driver was talking about.

In front of Mason, was a handful of knights, numbering around 5, as they stood their ground against a sea of 30 or so goblins, and a taller goblin among them, which roughly amounted to the same height as the average human male.
Looking closer at the names above the battling sides Mason noticed the clear disparity in level.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.

In a world of mystery with dozens of races, known and unknown, the young Priestess Glissandi sets out into the world, acccepting her sacred task as a missionary. The young, intelligent woman is accompanied by the wise and careful Paladin Lissa, the young, experienced and reclusive Knight Trista and the two over-eager and talented Squires Mira and Mina as she sets forth on a grand adventure, only to quickly run into what seems to be a deep conspiracy, stretching back to one enigmatic person.

Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?
