Advertisement
I can't believe this is actually happening! I trained and studied my whole life for this and now I am ready! Well... I think I am. I close my eye and take a deep breath and enter this gigantic room where all my new coworkers are. I sit all the way to the front and wait for the meeting to start. Today I get to know what assignment I am going to get. Oh, this is going to be fun! An old lady raises her hands to get everyone's attention ''Thanks everyone for coming in today! There is a lot of new faces also! Let me explain how this is going to go!'' I can't help but to smile widely and I take as many notes as I can while she explains everything. The time finally comes for the lady to tell everyone what assignment we are going to get. And when my turn comes I have to stop myself from screaming and jumping. I got THE haunted hotel! The one that I always wanted to visit but was too far away from my home to go. And now I am going to be one of the ghosts of the hotel! There is nine other ghosts with me. This is going to be so much fun. We all meet up near the middle of the room and introduce ourselves.
There is two other new ghosts like me and the others are ''old'' one. There is still one missing and while we wait, I can't stop mumbling all the things that I know about the hotel. One of the older ghost notice, and asks me if I have a plan ''Oh... I don't want to tell you all what to do... I'm new here and...'' ''It's alright! It seems like you know alot about this place so let's here what you have in mind.'' So I explain everything that I know and what I have in mind, but then I remember that there is still one missing. The ghost in front of me point at someone with his chin and I turn around to see who he is pointing at. A ghost walks really slowly towards us and I scream out ''HI! I hope you won't mind, we already started to make a plan while we were waiting for you!" I keep on explaining my plan, the livings think that the hotel is haunted by people of the 12th century. So it would be so nice to get 12th century's clothes and go with the flow since it's the most popular theorie. Everyone agree with me and I am so happy. Well everyone but one, the one named Lucy, she seems to be so out of it. Oh well she still agrees to play along with us.

Once we reach the hotel, I run straight to the ball room, the room that is supposed to be the most haunted room of the hotel! I look around, making sure everything is ready for when people will come in. This is going to be fun. I read so much about all those kind of things, I know that I can do this! I'm going to be fine, I will do great.... For sure... I hope. One day, I think I saw something at the corner of my eyes, outside. I go to the entrance and I scream out in excitment ''THE GHOST HUNTERS!! THEY ARE COMING!'' And the one that I followed all my life! I'm so happy! This is going to be fun! We all gather together to talk about it. The older ones telling what the new ones can and can't do. I again takes a few notes and set up a plan.
At first I was struggling alot to interact with the hunters. It is hard to be able to move objects or make audible sounds, but I managed to do it! I'm so happy! The hunters even recorded some of the stuff I did! This is so amazing! I will be in the show! Everyone did a great job, even Lucy did a really good job, she made one of the hunter run away screaming out of fear. I was really impressed. She scared the most calm and measured hunter of the whole team. I will have to ask her how she did it! Unfortunatly, after two days, they left. But everyone was really hyped about the whole haunthing thing and we did an amazing job scaring everyone that passed by.
The three months passed by way to fast and we did such an amazing job that we got the next trimester off duty! My first haunting was perfect and I am so proud of myself! And now I can get to visit and explore my new home. After a little walk around the place, I go back to the big room we all went to get the assignments and I see Lucy sitting there all alone. I think that is the perfect time to go ask her some questions about how she scared the hunter. But this Angel of Death that tried to take me to the Underworld walk in and sits beside her. I decide to wait until he walk away to talk to her. I am not ready to talk to him yet. I felt so bad to run away from him, he seemed so sad and distressed that I ran away. But I really wanted to be able to be a haunting ghost. I had to stay! Maybe one day I will apologies to him... After a little while, he leaves and now is my chance to talk to her. I walk straight to her before I change my mind. I sit in front of her and say ''HI! Do... do you mind if I ask you some question? About the haunting and everything?'' I can see she is about to walk away, so I do this puppy eyes thing to convince her to not leave. Lucy let out a really loud and long sigh and goes ''... What do you want to know?'' I smile widely and open up my note book ''Okay, first of all....''

The Arcane Gunslinger
A lazy celestial being's mistake leads to Sergeant William Remington, a decorated member of the Coalition Marines, to be placed into a new body. His old life aboard the Valkyrie, an interstellar destroyer has also been replaced as he finds his new body in an unknown world. Where he learns of magic, skills, the system, helhorses, and slinging lead with ancient revolvers. Initially, he is skeptical of his new norm but the desire to survive leads him to try to earn a living while he figures out what just happened to his life. He's a fighter but far from the elite, a grunt with some experience. But what better way than to fall back to what he's familiar with, weapons and going after criminals and rebels. With the added challenges of monsters. This is my first Litrpg writing. It's a wild west fantasy setting with the MC taking a role as a gun-slinging bounty hunter in a world of magic and monsters. Hope you enjoy it. UPDATES AT 3PM EST ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS! Warning. The story has a slow start because I'm trying to keep my MC realistic. It takes him some time to adjust to his new surroundings, start to make some friends, and really get into the swing of it. I kind of think it's dumb when an isekai's MC manages to blink twice and suddenly adapts to their new world without any sort of struggle or learning period. So not doing that but don't worry Will may be confused and a bit unfocused at first but he'll grow into his own. Also using it to practice my digital artwork... which is far from par but improving. Keep an eye on author notes for maps and depictions of monsters and characters.
