[Warning: Out-Of-Body skill ends in 5 seconds, to avoid death please go into body]
"What?!" Seeing Warning Liefs eyes were drawn to the text.
His head instantly turned towards the direction of the inn, 'can I make it back?' but he knew it would be impossible, he had spent too long getting here...
Maybe, maybe he could try going into someone else's body?
Acting on that thought he immediately flew towards the closest human and rammed into the hooded figure, however, he was refused by another text box.
[Your skill is not strong enough to possess humans yet.]
Lief was rebounded back, unwillingly performing a backflip.
'If I can't possess "humans" does that mean I'll be able to possess something else?" Lief asked himself, clinging onto his only hope.
He scanned the area with his eyes, there were actually several animals around.
The most useful one would have been the dog, but that was at least 8 seconds away.
The closest one that Lief thought he would be able to barely manage to throw himself into was only a few meters away from him, it would take him under a second to reach it in his ghost-like form, obviously faster than he would in his real body as he is able to fly.
Lief immediately flew his way across a fence into a ploughed space of dirt and threw himself into the closest creature around.
A pig.
[Possession of (Pig) successful]
"Oink!" Lief involuntarily oinked.
After trying yet failing at saying "Menu" he tried several more times.
Unfortunately, the only sound that came out of Liefs mouth were "Oink".
At this moment he felt a force lift him up from behind!
Lief had been picked up from behind, he struggled but it was to no avail.
"Calm down piggy, it will only hurt for a second" a muffled voice travelled into Liefs pig ears.

'What?! NO! I won't get butchered, I'm the butcher, I don't get butchered!' "Oink oink OINK!" Lief yelled at the top of his lungs.
Being taken into a room with a metal counter similar to the one he had used not long ago, Lief would not resign to his fate. He constantly struggled as he was lifted up and had his two back legs tied tightly onto a hook.
'NO' "Oink!" Leif kicked his legs wildly.
However, it didn't bother the butcher, he agilely brought his knife towards Liefs tender neck.
'NO! OUT-OF-BODY!' Lief screamed inside of his head 'OUT OF BODY OUT OF BODY'
However each time he was coldly declined by a text box.
[Unable to use skill for...3 seconds.]
The knife was getting closer.
Closer, closer, until, Lief felt the cold blade at his throat.
He was helpless to it, however, inside of his head, he was still screaming to activate his skill.
[Unable to use skill for... 0 seconds.]
'WHAT?! HOW DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE?' Lief screamed at the top of his lungs as he felt the blade pierce his neck.
Lief felt the blood gush out after the blood passed through his neck.
'Am I really going to die this way? NO! OUT-OF-BODY!' Lief closed his eyes and screamed a final time inside of his head.
The pain disappeared.
Lief opened his eyes, his ability/skill had activated!
Lief wouldn't dare waste time in this form again until he had levelled it up a lot, he chose to fly back at top speed towards the Inn.
As Lief was flying at his top speed instead of checking for ways in and out of the black market Lief managed to get back a lot faster than before, safely combining with his body.
After spending a few moments enjoying the feeling of being inside of his body he opened the minimised tabs...

"...I have to remember to check these as soon as I get them, the results could be terrifying if I continue to neglect this." Lief exclaimed with an awkward expression.
---
Lief was feeling quite hungry so before his trip to find his class he decided to grab some food downstairs.
It was packed with adventurers and tenants again, although it was rowdy, problems rarely occurred, so Lief was able to pay for and eat his chicken soup without gaining any attention.
If possible, Lief would like to make some new friends, however, how would he do it? He has never had to approach someone and ask them to be friends before...
He couldn't think of a way to do it, maybe it was just the wrong kind of crowd for him but everyone seemed to have their own groups of friends already.
It didn't take Lief any persuading to give up on making friends for now and continue with his current objective.
Find the Rogue class.
This wasn't hard anymore, he knew how to get in now.
After leaving the Inn, Lief travelled towards the market and then towards a small, grey tent-like shop called Fortune and Demise.
Not a shop many would visit, who would want some stranger that may or may not be making up random crap to tell you your future?
It fit in with the other shops, as quite a lot of the people selling their wares wouldn't want to waste their money on a shop if they were only here temporarily.
As Lief arrived at the tent but before he arrived he heard an aged voice from within,
"Ah yes, yes, and would you happen to know the password before we begin with the "seeing"?"
"Password? Sorry, I don't know it...It won't prevent me from sending a message to my late wife though right, "messenger?" another aged voice replied worriedly.
Lief stopped listening here as he could gather what happened but, if he needed a password to enter that would cause quite the problem, maybe he could sneak past?
Lief begun to slip into his own world of thinking once again...
'Maybe I could cut a hole in the back and crawl through? Or, or maybe this, or that." Lief's thoughts raced through his mind as he pictured each outcome.
After thinking for a short period of time, Lief zoned back into reality only to find his face masked with his hood covering his face in a new location.
He was now in a torch lit, stairway leading down.
Behind him was what seemed to be the grey cloth door flop from the Fortune and Demise store in front of him seemed to be the entrance to the black market.
"But how did I get past, I didn't even try any of my ideas yet..." Lief tried thinking back but he could only remember thinking. He definitely didn't move!
Liefs head began to trob and hurt, it almost brought him to his knees but he withstood the pain and stayed standing...
"Naive brat, just wait till I br-" a voice from the back of Liefs head mumbled.
"W-who!?" Lief gravely asked back to the voice.

7780, or: Children of a White Rider
As one war ends, another begins. The year Fastidious: 7780 marks deteriorating relations between the Siralians, devout sailors of the Ordos Canticula, and the Ardalians, matchless fire mages ruling neverending farmlands. In the shadows, Ardalian rebels successfully unlock an ancient magical gate. Their desire? A soldier, immutable, unstoppable, and enslaved. Eli Stuart and his fiancee Patricia Secord find themselves thrown into a strange world. Trapped in a land of hostile magic and alien politics, the two of them must use their newfound powers to make alliances, stop their enemies, and ultimately reunite. However, something goes wrong. In this chaos, as the world begins to unravel in foul ways, something else stirs. Something else found its way through. Author's Note: I will update this story as often as I can. I am quite busy and write this during breaks at work. This is one of those goon-squad stories with a million characters, so "dizzying" might be a good way to describe the energy. Much of what builds up to the first arc happens in the first ten chapters, which are quite long. For that reason, if you have difficulty getting through the story, I understand, though things don't really start happening until Chapter 8-10.

Stories Of Indlu
“… to grow, for opportunity, for adventure, to be free. Join the colony ship Nao Vittoria. Be the first to live amongst the stars.” It was obvious from the literature that the NextStar corporation wanted the young, the adventurous and the brilliant. So why were the super rich fighting over seats? Why were AI’s trying to stow away? Did this signify a premature end to human/AI civilisation? Why had some questions directed to NextStar been aggressively sidelined? Why did the colonist inflight entertainment trial produce fatalities? In fact, why colonists at all? Those and many other questions, however, boiled down to a single central question. Why was the world’s most advanced AI dumped with a hundred year babysitting job for 50 million people speeding towards an uninhabitable planet? It made such little sense. The only sure way to get answers, catch a ride on the Nao Vittoria and play the inflight entertainment game, Pax Domini. I joined, and this is my story. Well, I feature. OK, I’m more of a spectator. Actually, I’m completely irrelevant I was just there. I’m only the storyteller. But what a story to tell. --------- Hi All, Content will be published weekly usually Saturday and typical posts will be 25oo to 4ooo words per post. Though for some reason the Royal Road word count does not include the content of tables so some posts may not appear to meet this criteria. Currently I have written sufficient unedited content to keep this schedule for the next 12 months (half way through the first story arc). My current productivity would indicate that I can maintain this schedule for well into the second story arch. This also allows for the additional content that will be posed exclusively on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/StoriesOfIndlu). This additional content follows minor characters, peripheral events, maps and other content that does not take away from the main story. I would love to accelerate the post schedule but to meet this I need the assistance of more beta readers than I currently have. So please let me know if you are interested. - Andy ©2022 Andy Leauter.
