《The Divine Traits》Chapter 4: The Convoy
Advertisement
-1 week later-
So far Jericho has been surviving on fruit from trees and water from streams because he doesn't a weapon he hasn't had the chance to hunt at all and the loneliness started making him wander to keep himself from insanity. That's why he reveled when he stumbled upon a trade convoy.
"thank god I found you guys I think I would have died from insanity" Jericho sighed
"yeah yeah sure... um, the captain wants to see you. he is in the last cart in the back." the merchant says
Jericho is then escorted by 3 abnormally looking, guards, the lead guard wore a red and black chainmail armor and what looked to be human colored scales on his hands the one behind Jericho wore the same uniform but had an aura of mystery around him plus a birthmark-like symbol on his forehead. when Jericho walked into the last cart he was hit back by a wall of temperature that was always changing with the main of the force resonating from a man in full iron armor with the same coloring as the guards but his body was obstructed by the waves of temperature.
"What's a trait bearer like you doing in the traitless territory?" said the iron man in a demanding tone, then in a strange way he burst out laughing.
"you probably can say the same for us," said the strange man then the man saw the puzzled look on Jericho's face
"ah, you must have just awoken your trait that look says it all," the man said,
-this guy is unreadable first he tries to interrogate me then bursts out laughing then he goes back to the same unreadable stature like when I walked in, Man what is this heat, cold? whatever it is it's unbearable-
"I suppose I'm gonna have to explain the whole thing, so in this world, there are 2 kinds of people in this world the trait bearers and the traitless those who are trait bearers have immense power like us, it may develop in temperature powers like mine or it might develop into who knows what, people speculate that there are as many kinds of powers as there are users. but they always develop into a class that defines your trait set and what powers you have, we mainly use those to indicate where in the party you are if you have defense abilities frontlines, damage middle, healing back and so on. but what I want to ask if you will join us, with that strange trait set we are sure to clear the dungeon out in no time, oh yeah you probably don't know what dungeons are, they are places where the magic of the world condense and form magic spheres called dungeon cores, these cores control the area where they are made and summon beasts to protect it which also have cores in themselves for the dungeon core to control these mini-cores are called beast cores which are really useful for summoner classes and are sold for a lot of cash, oh and the most powerful dungeons are in the traitless area because trait bearers aren't usually in here so the magic is really dense..." the "captain" rambled on until he finally took a breath "Names Zelus by the way, Welcome aboard uh didn't get your name?"

"It's Jericho..." before Jericho could get another word out Zelus interrupted
"welcome aboard Jericho your quarters will be in the second cart and what was your class called again?"
"Um, I don't know..."
"just think stats and your stat page will come up with your class and physical attributes"

"um.. something called an blessed archaic with colored lines white and red under it, is that my class? what does it do?" question Jericho intrigued
"huh weird class, never heard of it, well I'm gonna take a precaution and put you in the back," Zelus said "we will arrive in a week get some rest and get to know the others cause they will be keeping you alive and the same around, helps with team chemistry, Bye!" Zelus stated with enthusiasm after that Jericho was then escorted to his quarters

Macabre Mim
*Note: This story is on hiatus. I intend to pick it up again, but the mood of my life has shifted for the time being and I'm going to be working on a side project for a bit.* What would you give to live the life of your dreams? What kind of deal would you make? And when you were there, forced to stare your dreams in the eye and live them every day, how long would it be... before they broke you? Author's note: This is my first excursion outside the realm of villain fan fiction and I welcome feedback. The thing I've loved most about RRL so far is the potential for writing to be an interactive experience with excited readers. That said, also, the primary genre this is intended for is the blossoming realm of LitRPG. Namely, a slice of life tale in the manner of Grimgar or Re:Zero. So, likewise, I don't expect there will ever be a clear beginning-middle-and-end type of pattern to this story. It will likewise always be a bit more of a reactionary, exploratory novel into realms unknown - much like the 1800 travel-novel theme used by Jules Verne. Or, at least, that is my ambition.

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
