《Tales of The Taken》The first purchase
Advertisement
Jesper felt a weird twist inside of his stomach as he entered the shop and saw a double door about six feet wide and with a tall billboard on top that said "point tally 100,000 (starting amount of points, please use within first seven days or you will lose these points)" after reading this multiple times jesper felt depressed because to him, there was a billion other humans who got launched into this mayhem and he only got 100,000 points, he recalled that he was placed number 1 based off potential, so his point tally was the lowest.
After a quick mumble cursing this place, jesper walked forwards to open the doors, and apon his touch the door opened automatically and in front of him was a reception desk with a human woman sitting there with a computer, with large glasses, and in-animate as she stared, unmoving at Jesper. Jesper quickly gathered courage as he stepped forwards up to the receptionist, and then she came to life!
She said "welcome to the shop! this place is your species leg up to the other competitors, after one week, a door will appear to your right where you can buy, sell, or trade items with other humans!" Then she froze and stared towards the door once more.
Jesper sat there and thought out loud "is that all?", pondering about the other humans that are here. when his voice sounded aloud she came back to life and stated "please spend your starter points, and since you are our first customer you get 50 percent off one item of your liking in our catalog." then she froze, lifelessly staring towards the door. Jesper confused said, "where is the catalog" and almost instantly, a huge book appeared before him, With the same binding as the one he awoke with. Only exception was, this book was titled plainly as "catalog".

When opened to the first page, there was a section labeled as "recommended" and beneath had an explanation "based off experiences, potential and estimated likes" and the first item on that list was a pill called "elemental wings (genetic mutation) and a quick description stating "forced gene mutation that allows the host to grow and retract a pair of wings that gains an element based off hosts efficacy towards the element along with the element type, notice only one of these may be bought." but the downfall, the price was 200,000 without the store discount and Jesper only had 100,000.
This was something of Jespers dreams. Moments before he was taken he was in Peru, researching avaians. he was on a bird watcher tour, looking at exotic birds and enjoying their beauty and pondering how it would feel to be free of the economic struggles of the world. But while dreaming he came back to reality, staring at the price before he clicked "buy" and he watched his point sum hit rock bottom at zero and a magical pill appear in front of him, then another pill landed down before him.
looking at the two floating pills he touched one, when he came into contact it was like a voice was whispering in his ear because he knew everything about this item and then he heard a voice sound, "purchase finalized". Curious he touches the second and when the parameter appear in his mind, he gets another voice, "elemental awakening pill received", when hearing this the pills disappear and Jesper's mind leaves the shop and in front of him are two white pills, which Jesper fervently swallows...
Jesper awakens as he groans and looks around confused, apparently he had blacked out, then he stands as he hears a "ding, hosts gene mutation is complete along with your elemental awakening, please check status tab". With this Jesper opens his tab

Fort Geranium
'Mariana''Lieutenant''Admiral''Europa Airgetlam'Those are some of the names people have taken to calling me but it wasn't always like this. I used to lead a much simpler life as a florist but apparently fate didn't like that I was wasting my time. Cruelly was my life taken away from me and I found myself in another world with a different identity: Mariana Von Ulysses. Another world, another life, it's all the same to me. The only reason I ever became a florist in the first place was because it was an easy opportunity for me to live comfortably. That's really all I ever wanted, to live 'comfortably', and perhaps I didn't have any grand ambitions of my own but what's wrong with that? However this new world is hellbent on not letting me have it my way. Wave after wave of problems, from monsters to national politics, it seeks to drive me towards the center of all these inane drivel. If that wasn't bad enough, apparently humans are hated in this world, eh? I'm a human too... Fine, you want it your way world? If you push then I'll push back! I'll solve these problems the only way I know how: Flowers! Don't underestimate their poisonous attributes just because they have cute colors and girly patterns. Orcs? Elves? Humans? Fairies? Dwarves? Dragons? Titans? Celestials? Ascendeds? Gods? To stand before me means that they have forfeited their lives. I shall show them all, the deadliness of plants... The slow and agonizing torture of poison and venom, swirling within your system as you writhe in excruciating pain. It burns you from the inside with no escape. The only release from this hell would be 'death'. That is my power. In the end, the world does not seem to want to leave me alone. Thus I've come to a conclusion: the only way to make myself truly comfortable in this world is a hostile take over! So let me demonstrate their powers to you; I'll let you taste the reason why they call me the 'Flower of Malice'.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
