《Kage System》Volume 1: Chapter 3 Mission Failed?
Advertisement
Zheng began exploring the forest as per his first mission's condition.
The forest was huge. As far as Zheng can see, there are trees, tree, tree, tree. No matter where he looks, the forest was filled with trees. Thick leaves covered the sunlight.
Zheng slowly explored the forest when suddenly he heard the sound of leaves rustling nearby.
"Wh-what is that?" Zheng's body trembled in fear as he quickly hid in the nearby bush. Beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead as he peeks around the area.
What appeared is a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, with a body-build of a gorilla. It has eyes with yellow irides and white pupils, spike-like protrusions along the length of its tails, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown.
The red monkey walked gently into the forest.
Zheng, who was hiding in the bush nearly fainted at the sudden appearance of the red-furred monkey. He gave his best holding his breathing in fear so that the monkey will not notice him. Unexpectedly, the bush rustled. 'Crap!'
"Hmm?" The red monkey's hearing ability is quite good and heard the sudden noise in its surrounding.
"Awoho!" It makes such monkey-like war cry and charges at Zheng's location.
'THIS IS BAD!'
Zheng kicked the ground and ran fast with all his might. "What kind of monkey is that!?" Zheng looked behind him and saw the red-furred monkey following him.
"Awoho!"
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please refrain from doing heavy exercises as this will affect your condition."]
"Exercise? What the fu** are you talking about!? Who's person is in the right mind to exercise in a time like this? The monkey is trying to kill me!" Zheng's endless cursed on the system echoed in the forest.

Zheng had no choice but to ran, his body is weak and there's no way he can fight in his current state. Bruises are all around his body as was continuously hit by the branches and sharp leaves.
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
Endless warning notification keeps ringing in his ear. Zheng's body condition is getting worse. His heart beats wildly. But, Zheng endured it. He ran and ran and ran as he pushed his body to the limit.
Then, as if heaven notice Zheng's perseverance, he heard a notification on his mind.
["Congratulation host! You successfully unlocked the 'Endurance' stats!"]
["Your stamina is fully recovered."]
["Congratulation host! You ran 1,000 meters without stopping! You successfully earned the passive skill Swift and was added to your skills list."]
Zheng felt refresh as if he was not tired at all! His breathing recovered back to normal. Sadly, Zheng still saw his injury.
He ran again and again as the red-furred monkey followed him. The red-furred monkey was also tenacious as it continuously rampages in the forest. Zheng tried his best, changing his track as he ran around the forest. He used the trees to his advantage to avoid the sneaky monkey.
For more than an hour, Zheng escaped successfully by the threat of the red-furred monkey.
"Aghhhh!" Zheng's body was again hit its limit as he collapsed on the ground.
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
"What a rough day... red monkey... what kind of forest is this?"
Zheng complained. Fortunately, the breezed of the flowers around the area makes his mind calm.
Moments later.
["Warning! You need to rest or else, you die."]
"I'm fu*** resting!"
Zheng shouted as he poured out everything he had on that one. In one day, Zheng cursed so much that he never did in his previous life.
Just like a snap of a finger, Zheng's vision went blank and passed out.
His first mission never went smoothly.
Unknown location inside the forest, the mighty red-furred monkey was actually enjoying its food as it lied down on the ground. Its four-tail wiggled as it swallowed the whole banana peacefully.

Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.
