《EEPOS: from rags to godhood》Assassins vs Monster part 1
Advertisement
The army of Rufus was marching south. The cavalry rode on the sides so they could intercept and warn the main army in case of an ambush. Rufus was riding on a prestigious black yak at the center of the large column of grey skin warriors.
Dorothy and many of his assassins had sneaked past the cavalry. They had taken a spot on a small ledge where they had a good view of the road where Rufus was supposed to pass by.
"Do we have the weapon?" Dorothy asked one of her assassins.
One of the assassins opened a wooden briefcase. Inside there was a long rifle with a long scope. A very high-class rifle that was extremely expensive and hard to make. It was black and had the Dokkaebi world's seal on it. The seal was an indication of high-quality industry product and all mechanical tools that had it were priced tools and machines.
"You sure you can make the shot from here?" Dorothy asked her assassin.
"I killed more people with this from further away. We won't have problems," the assassin said.
"Good. I would personally have taken care of him myself, but he is at the center of an entire army. Would be impossible even for me."
"Too bad. Now only I can get the pleasure of taking down the legendary Rufus."
"Just concentrate on your target," Dorothy said and kicked her assassin.
The assassin started to lie down on the ground on his stomach. He spread his legs so he would be more symmetrical with the gun and be able to absorb the recoil so it wouldn't affect the sight much if he missed.
They could start to see the army from the ledge. They were about three hundred meters away from it so the shot was not hard to take. Dorothy looked in excitement.

Soon they saw Rufus passing with his entourage at the center of the column. Dorothy's eyes sparkled with excitement.
"Finally. Two times you have fucked with me. It ends here," Dorothy thought to herself with a scary-looking glare.
The assassin took aim at Rufus. He was starting to pull down the trigger slowly. He then stopped when he felt a drop fall on his back.
"Is it starting to rain?" the assassin asked.
"Rain. What are you talking about? There is no cloud in sigh..." Dorothy said and looked back.
Gwon was behind them in his Seng form. An assassin was in his mouth dripping blood all over the assassin with the rifle.
It then stomped on the assassin who was about to shoot Rufus. The assassin missed Rufus by far and the shot alerted the cavalry and other soldiers. Gwon then with his claws ripped the assassin from its back killing him fast.
Dorothy turned her limbs into weapons. She jumped away to get distance on Gwon, but he just pursued her.
"What the hell is that?" cursed Dorothy.
Gwon went to attack Dorothy. Dorothy was able to dodge, but it was not easy. When Dorothy tried to kill the beast herself Gwon again dodged by hopping through the air.
Dorothy was looking down at the army and saw that her chance to kill Rufus was slipping away. She tried to kill Gwon as fast as possible, but with no luck. Gwon was even faster than Dorothy and was able to catch Dorothy by her leg. The leg was unhurt, but Gwon threw her against a tree.
Dorothy started to run away realizing she was outclassed by this unknown beast. She thought she had the worst luck to be surprised by such a beast out of nowhere. As she was running away she saw all the other bodies of her assassin littered in the forest. Their limbs had been a bit off or their necks had been ripped open. Gwon had dealt with all the assassins before he dealt with Dorothy and the sniper and he had done all that without making a sound.

This was not an uncommon situation for Gwon. For years he had been hunting in the forest of the grey scale mountains. Gwon was unparalleled when it came to hunting down enemies in a forest.
Dorothy realized she was in trouble. She started to hear cavalry coming to their location.
"Over here," yelled a human soldier.
Dorothy started to hear the hooves of horses getting closer. She was in a bad situation again. She knew that the mission had failed.
Dorothy tried to escape, but Gwon gave chase at her. Dorothy jumped from a tree branch to a tree branch trying to get away from Gwon but he just jumped himself into the air many times almost catching her. It looked like a cat being chased down by a lion.
She looked down and saw the cavalry that was supposed to guard the main army against an ambush had given chase to her. They were following them while Dorothy and Gwon jumped in the air from branch to branch.
Dorothy got out of the forest. She killed one of the cavalrymen and took his horse. She started to ride off trying to escape with her life but stopped when opportunity knocked on the door. She looked in front of her. It was the center column of the army with many soldiers and grey skin warriors staring back at her. At the center of it was Rufus.
Dorothy then smiled. She knew attacking him was extremely dangerous and almost suicidal, but she threw all reasoning away.
"Look at that. The little good kid decided to come here to die out of his own free will," Dorothy said and went to attack Rufus.
Rufus then released a lot of divine aura. Dorothy stopped her attack. She looked in fear at Rufus. The divine aura was bigger than what even the duke had. For Dorothy, it felt like she was staring at destruction itself.
"What the hell is this. My target is right there, but something is telling me if I try to kill him I die. What is this," Dorothy thought to herself with a cold sweat falling down her face.
Rufus seemed like an impassable mountain.
Edward then came and attacked Dorothy. He tried to kill her with his sword in full swing. Dorothy snapped from her daze and was able to block it by turning her hands into shields. Edward though hit her so hard she flew far away from them.
"Who was that?" Rufus asked Doreen.
"Huh, I didn't see anything. I was behind your black yak all this time," Doreen answered back.

Peerless Hegemon
Warning: Can be quite tearjerking and depressing (or so others say). If you are weak to that and hates that kind of thing, then this story is not for you === Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime. First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice. Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur. In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face. === Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters. I want this instead of just the MC’s search for life and its complication. Where Philosophy and values exist. A story where every action has proper consequences, and not everything can be conquered with a single punch (unless it can be, no need for an unnecessary complication if it can be avoided). Further Notes: This is a story that will gradually increase in word counts and become Chunkier as it progresses and will almost never be below 2000 words, but if the word count will only lengthen the chapter at the expense of a finished tale, it could and would be cut off before 2000 mark), give it a try, it won’t disappoint (I hope). And if by chance that you like it, giving a good Rating and Review will be encouraging to me and possible readers. Schedule: Monday and Friday If you want to read ahead and/or support me to creating this story, you can do it through my Patreon (link below the next chapter button.) This is also a rewrite of this: Peerless Hegemon [OLD] | Royal Road

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.

I'm JUST a Farmer NOT an Adventuerer! (Isekai) Light Novel (Watashi wa tada no nōmindeari, bōken-kade wa arimasen!)
Simple farm life in a simple village is all Aiel has ever known. Monster slaying? Exploring?... Those are things for adventurers, knights, and heroes, aren't they? But what Aiel doesn't know is when one day a cute, but clutzy adventurer accidentally stumbles into his village, his life will never be the same._____________________________________ I've always liked the idea of stories about people who travel to other worlds that are different, yet familiar to what they know. Stories about "what if" world's where things operate like what a modern person would see in a video game. But another more so would be what it is the people we call NPC's actually think. This story explores such a situation on such a world. My story is called: "I'm JUST a Farmer, NOT an Adventurer!!!" A lighthearted comedy Isekai light novel currently ongoing. I really appreciate feedback and take it all under consideration. Everything helps me improve my story. Let me know your thoughts, what you would have preferred to see, or even things you'd hope happen. I always enjoy hearing people's thoughts. I hope you enjoy reading! I also upload on Wattpad: @TakeshiYumiNori And you can find the audiobook version on YouTube: Just type the title "I'm Just a Farmer NOT an Adventuerer!!!

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.
