《The hitman summoned as a hero》Chapter 3: A place to hide-old
Advertisement
After days walking we arrived at a town during the day, it was small but it had a clothes shop. I entered along with the jelly pudding and the little girl in the shop, the people were looking me strange, maybe because I was half-naked or maybe because I was with a living jelly pudding. Anyway, we entered and we bought, clothes for me and for the girls with the money that I got from the soldiers in the prison. I had ten gold coins. And I bought a pink and white dress for the little girl and a raincoat for the jelly pudding for two gold coins. After we went to find an inn, we needed a cheap one. Also, we needed to sleep and eat well. The girl didn't eat for a long time and I only ate bugs since I escaped.
After a short time, I discovered that I could read. First I didn't realise about it but now I realised it. I had even with more questions in my mind. Anyway, we found an inn, it wasn't bad. It had a restaurant, a guild and a bar on the lower floor and free rooms to sleep four gold coins a day on the high floor. It wasn't bad except that the rooms were for a single person. When I entered the room I saw that it had expensive furniture, decorated walls, a small bed and a window. A medieval style but it was a place to hide and sleep. It was still day so I left the jelly pudding taking care of the little girl and I went to eat. In the restaurant, they were serving good-looking food. Fried shrimps, rice, butter garlic crabs, even hamburgers and Pelmenis. Of course, they had more plates on the card but I decided to eat the Pelmenis, I really loved to eat it. I ordered it to the waitress and after an hour she came with the Pelmenis. It smelt incredible so immediately I tasted it and it was delicious. I felt like if I was in Russia again. I even ordered to have seconds.

When I was full I paid two gold coins and I went back to the room. In the room I saw the little girl in the corner, I think that she woke up and she got scared after seeing the jelly pudding with her. In that moment I closed the door, I put the lock on the door, I grabbed the little girl and I put her in the bed. After I asked my questions. I asked why I was in this world, why she was in prison and a lot more. First, she didn't want to talk but after she told me everything. I was in Edonia, a kingdom governed by the king Alf the third. The asshole king is how I called him. After she told me that the jelly pudding was called slime in the new world. For me she was a living pudding but anyway I didn't ask any more about the names. Then she told me that the king threw her in jail because she summoned me. I was a failure for the king and it was her punishment. Suddenly she started to cry. I didn't know what to do. All I could do in that moment was to hug and let her calm herself. I didn't know if it was good or bad but I felt that I needed to do that. And the jelly pudding or slime, whatever, hug us too. She was like a human, she had feelings. After the night came and I decided to sleep on the floor. The little girl and the slime needed the bed more than me. I was already trained to sleep in any place so I didn't care that much about it. Of course, they insisted that I should sleep on the bed but I rejected.

In that moment I was sure that I was becoming soggy. In the past I would have killed them, long time ago, to be alone and without problems but now I couldn't. Something didn't let me kill them. I was feeling strange about it so I went to sleep quickly. I didn't want to think anymore about.
The next day I asked more questions to the little girl about why I could read, write and talk in another language, about the darkness and about the slime. She told me that her magic lets me read, write and talk. It was incredibly useful. After she told me that the darkness was the army of the angel of the death. He along with his minions wanted to govern the entire world. Then she told me that the purple slime was one of his minions. And that she was a powerful minion of the angel. I was a bit confused but I understood, looking at her face, that it was bad. I told her that nothing was going to happen and I calmed her. She didn't need to be of her, she was friendly and kind. At least she looked like that to me. After I asked her name. She was shy about it but she ended telling me her name. Rodelia Savas. I told her that it was cute and she got embarrassed.
After I told her to come with me to eat while the slime was still sleeping. She didn't eat for a long time so she must be hungry. When we were in the restaurant I told her that she could eat what she wanted. In that moment she was so happy. We ordered some toasts and the special menu. After thirty minutes the waitress came with the toasts and the special menu. The special menu was like a menu for kids. It had rice, potato chips and fish. I simply eat my toasts but with more happiness than usual because I was seeing her eating happily. Even if she has been tortured and betrayed.
After I paid two gold coins and we went to the room. In the room, I told them my plan. My plan was to go to see the angel of the death and to be his ally. Of course, I would be his ally for money. When Rodelia heard that she wanted to stop me. She was scared and she thought that we were going to die. I told her to be calm, that nothing could happen even if we could really die. Instead of trying to stop me the slime only smiled. Then I decided to call her Fio. Because she was purple and I couldn't continue calling her slime or jelly pudding.
After we prepared ourselves and we left the room and the town decided to see the angel. Perhaps we were going to die but we needed to try. Also, we didn't have money, equipment or weapons so it could go wrong but we had hope.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

Ancient Mana Dungeon Core.
Yes the tags are necessary, they will make sense eventually too. Art is not mine, found it on pintrest btw the title on the thing apparently has no name, or at least no title that you can search, at least, but i found this: ‘ArtStation - [UE4] Lost Temple Ruins Jonas Axelsson’ (if your curious I was searching ancient temple game art when i found it don’t bother clicking the link on the thing that says facebook, it does not work) (i will not lie this is kinda my first publication so go easy on me). A while ago I fell in love with the Dungeon Core stories and decided: ‘Heck, why not make my own spin on things!’ and so i started brainstorming what to do and i kinda just found the idea for the story during it. This is the story of a guy named Michael Alex (not a typo that is the name I will be using for him) he was an avid fiction writer and reader who was just sitting on his couch playing a puzzle game on his phone called: Ruins of Drailmor Keep (a three in one deal: tower defence, Puzzle (mazes generally), and world building (namely building on the ashes of fallen empires and regulating certain things while the waves of enemies keeps coming back to burn it down and ruin it just like the curse would while ocasionally sending out your own monsters to get rare rescources)) when he gets an alert and well one thing leads to another and he died to a freak avalanche. He then comes into contact with the universe's will (basically something that *insert your prefered deity here* cooperated with to make the world (heaven, hell, the mortal world, yggdrasil, basically every "world" that has been made (in reality, mythology, games, books, cartoons/movies, and memes!) but also had a mind of its own at the same talk.) and Michael and the Universe’s Will talked and this story is about the outcome of said discussion.
