《Saga of the Overgod》Chapter 1: Encounter
Advertisement
Out in the universe, there's a world where you could see tall mountains, vast oceans, as well as forests with different kinds of species; there are birds, reptiles, mammals and many other animals. Surprisingly, there are beasts that can do what humans can do too.
At some distance away from the forest, you will see a lively city, bustling with different activities. There you can see the huge number of humans and beasts perfectly co-exist with each other. Along one street, they buy and sell items and on another, they are laughing, and yet another they are arguing and fighting.
The places described here make up just 0.1 percent out of the overall land mass of this particular world. It's so big that if you take attempt to tour it, it will take roughly a hundred years for you to finish.
When you look up, you can see a beautiful blue sky filled with clouds and the three suns from which emanated different colors of blinding light. However, if you look closely, you could see that there is actually just one sun! And that is the one in the middle. The others on the left and right side have a human-figure inside the light! Or you could say that the human-figures inside are the sources of the blinding light! The one on the left is violet, and the other one is green.
It was a strange sight, but from what you can tell from the expressions of people and other beings in the vicinity, these are just ordinary and nothing strange at all. You can just see panic within the eyes of people and other beings. Clearly, there is something unexpected that will happen.
A few moments later, the two 'suns' emanating strange light began to move towards each other. Suddenly, the hands of the two entities within the light clenched into fists. A deafening blast could be heard as these two people punched each other.
BOOOOM!
"Because you snatched away what is mine, I will snatch away your life Tromer!" said the man radiating green light with an angry face. Suddenly, a sword materialized in his hands.
The sword is a huge single edged sword about one meter long and half a meter wide. Its blade is sharp and radiates something like crimson aura as the light of the sun reflects on its point. On its guard, a skull is swallowing the body of the sword. This sword gives a feeling of something sinister and vile.
"This is the Demon Bone Sword, a legendary sword that I got from the Ruins of Demon God Sect. It is wielded by the Ancestor of the Demon God Sect, with this, you will surely DIE!" Angrily shouted the man with the green light.

Immediately after, he dashed forward and swung the sword.
Before the sword hit Tromer, a circular shield rapidly expanded in front of him until it was big enough to protect his entire body from the sword strike.
When the sword hit the shield, small cracks appeared at first, but after a single breath of time, the cracks started to spread until the shield was broken into pieces after several seconds. He was then propelled back a few meters away due to the impact of the sword strike.
"I will never give this back to you Darnce! I have already gotten it, it is now MINE!"said Tromer. After that, he takes a look at his spatial pouch and after a moment of hesitation,
"I will use this to escape and teleport away from this bastard, and although I'm not sure where this would take me, this is my only way to leave this danger." Then, a metallic cube instantly appeared in front of him. The metallic cube is transforming to become a... teleportation portal!
The process of transforming is quite fast compared to others of its kind but considering it was done in the middle of a battle, for Tromer it was slow!
Tromer must hold on until the teleportation portal is ready for use, because after that he's saved, but if not, he's doomed to die while waiting for his hope to live.
When Darnce saw the metallic cube transforming into a teleportation portal his eyes widened and without hesitation he held the Demon Bone Sword with his two hands and dashed forward to attack Tromer.
"I, Darnce Woventop, will do all I can to kill you. The enmity between us will never fade away until one of us perishes, and YOU will be that one!" With that, he gripped the Demon Bone Sword harder, and it began to emit dark-red light.
By now, Darnce's appearance was terrifying to the extreme due to his furious face combined with the vicious-looking sword. Suddenly, He vanished in the middle of the air and reappeared 10-meters away from Tromer.
Darnce swung his sword, initiating an attack against Tromer. With Darnce's speed, Tromer didn't have enough time to completely dodge the attack. Instantly, Tromer's left arm was severed away and a huge wound could be seen in his stomach!
Tromer let out an anguished howl. Soon, he began to make a counterattack against Darnce. The ground trembled as they exchange numerous blows.
It was clear that Tromer was only buying time for the portal. Darnce realized this and he became even more furious than before.
After some moments, the teleportation portal was now ready to be used, and at the same time Tromer's injuries worsened. When he saw the portal was ready, he immediately dashed towards it and vanished.

When Darnce saw that Tromer is now nowhere to be seen, he let out a furious howl.
AAARRGH!
There are no traces of Tromer to be seen, in short, he successfully... Escaped.
---------
On the other hand...
There was a man in a certain world called 'Mortal World,' known as Farjan Dowter, the grandson of his clan's leader. He is now 17 years old, he's not handsome like others but also not ugly, his hair is naturally white, and a pair of beautiful eyes that add some attractiveness could be seen on his oval-shaped face. He is tall and also muscular due to his various experiences.
This Mortal world is not a very large world, unlike the world where Tromer and Darnce fought, but it is not small too. It is filled with green scenery and deep forests. A hundred meters away from a small river near a forest beside a mountain, a small village with houses made of wood and other lightweight materials could be seen. A crappy wooden fence that is half a meter high, made from what are probably the excess wood from the construction of the houses, serves as the territory's border and sort of defense for the clan. In the middle of the territory is where the only stone-made building in the village stands. The Ancestral Mansion was built using stones and the white of the eggs as sort of adhesive. This is the village where Farjan and the whole Dowter clan lives.
The Dowter Clan is not a big and prosperous clan like others, but everyone in the clan is on good terms with each other. Although his family is poor, Farjan is a hardworking and brilliant man. You will always see him in different areas in the vicinity of Bigfield City because he has many jobs in the area. Sometimes you will see him carrying heavy things, working in construction sites, feeding pigs, selling vegetables in the market and much more! Because of this, Farjan is well-known throughout the city.
The other thing that Farjan always does is to secretly listen to the one and only Institute in the city, the Bigfield Higher Institute. You can see him lurking at the edge of the classroom window even if it's on the second floor!
One time, he hid in the cleaning tool closet of a classroom just to listen to the lessons of the professor when suddenly, he sneezed! He did everything he could to conceal it, but a little sound was still heard throughout the classroom.
ACHII!
"What was that?" Asked the professor.
Then a particular student answered. "That's me, sir! I tried to conceal my sneeze but, the sound has escaped my palm. I apologize for disturbing the class." At the same time acting like he is about to sneeze with his nose already red. After that, he secretly forms his hands into a thumbs-up gesture at his back that indicates "I got you, man!"
This man is Holdbert, Farjan's friend. He is from a middle-class clan, so he can afford to study. Thanks to him, Farjan breathed a sigh of relief.
---
Farjan always gives the money that he earned to his parents. Surely, he is a lovable and responsible son.
"Farj, you do not need to give this money to me, it is the fruit of your hard work." Said his mother to Farjan.
"Mom, please take this money. I've worked hard just to help our family and not myself only."
"But you always give us all the money you've earned and do not leave any for yourself. You know, if you did not give us the money you earned, by now, you would have been able to start learning in the Bigfield Higher Institute. You're a brilliant child; you have a lot of potential."His mother said with a sad face.
"That's fine mom, even if I have a second chance to decide again on how I will manage the money I earn, I will choose to give it to you again." With that, he and his mother hugged each other.
The next day.
At some distance away from where the place of the Dowter clan is located, strangely, a black vortex with blue, violet and white swirling inside it in a spiral motion appeared.Measuring its diameter would give you one meter.. At a closer look, you will notice that a human figure is coming out from it.
The man has a severed arm, a huge hole in his stomach and numerous wounds scattered all over his body. This figure is obviously Tromer! He has escaped with severe injuries using the metallic cube as a teleportation portal, transporting him here to the Mortal World.
After stepping out from the portal, Tromer managed to take three-steps away. After that, he lost consciousness and fell towards the ground.
Several meters away, Farjan is walking back home happily, carrying a basket with some vegetables. He had just finished selling vegetables in the market and has profited well. After walking a few more meters, he saw a 'corpse' lying on the ground with numerous wounds and with no left arm.
He immediately walked cautiously towards the 'corpse' and began to inspect it. Soon enough, he reached a conclusion...
"He's still alive!" He said.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
