What can this smell be? Are you having a sweet dream? Hahaha."The laughter made me smile in my sleep. I saw my wife in his dream after a long time. This goddamn smell! I coughed twice then she disappeared.
A foul smell filled my nostrils. Every time I sniffed in the smell, I had to resist the urge to vomit. I opened my eyes and blocked my nose because smell was unbearable.
I threw the blanked aside and stepped on the floor. The room was dark so there was no way to find source of the smell. I had just walked few steps when I tripped over something and fell face first on the floor.
I stumbled back on my feet after thinking I had dropped pillow to the floor in my sleep. I had done it multiple times before. This time could also be no different.
I held my aching forehead and switched on the light. Then turned back to put the pillow back on the bed. I felt like earth was moving below my feet. I fell down after the sight.
A rotting corpse of a kid was inside the bedroom. The body was all muddy and was stinking. However, I made guts and turned the body around to see its face.
I saw the similar face with mouth wide open where insects and worms were crawling. The opened up stomach was proof he was the same child whom I had seen being killed in Markeenz.
But what frightened me more than it was a letter near it which read:
Dormer refused to do what I had said. He hadn’t mentioned he had got this corpse with letter of mine. Now whether you want to do it or not, you will do it. Meet me in Markeenz if you don’t want this to go any worse. And believe me, there are worse things than this. There always exists the worse on the other side.

"Satan wrote me this letter!" I gasped and looked at the corpse. A dead person had never been so scary to me before like this.
I knew it. The man who was behind this wasn’t a human. So I thought it was better thing by not arguing with him.
Depression had taught me what it was as dreadful as death itself. Now Satan was about to teach me that about many other worse things than death.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

Imagine Being a Rare
The world of mobile games is harsh on wallets and harsher on the characters. How do you stand out in an crowd of designs calculated to attract attention from whales? You want power and fame, powercreep alts and event appearances. Some high rarities succeed, others fail. But how do you stand out when your design is plain, your power low, and your rarity, well, Rare? You don't. In the moderately popular gacha game Commandment of Hero, some Rares have had enough. A new gameplay mode will give them a chance to rise above their rarity, they think. All they need are courage, kindness, and wisdom. They have none of those, but they do have stubbornness, selfishness, and shamelessness, which are at least as effective. If that sounds pathetic, just imagine being a Rare. Updates Monday and Friday.
