《Mysteries of the Q Files - Roll of Fate》Prologue
Advertisement
Hey everyone, it’s Ruben again! So that last story from a few months back was a little dark and depressing. Like I said before, strange dreams. But I had to get them out! It’s been a while since I last had much of a chance to be Naomi and Trick in their adventures, but now things are coming to me. Honestly, it makes sense after everything they went through. But I can assure you now this mystery case will be much more upbeat and exciting! Also, they are in a bit of a better place, as you’ll see in the first chapter.
And one day I’ll be able to write these stories down with some greater consistency for you all. In the meantime, I think it’s better if I hold off on the author’s notes again, unless they are absolutely needed! But I will have some fun pictures to go with each chapter. I think you’ll really like where this one goes. Let us begin!
Last time, our intrepid heroes had defeated the Troll Lich King, with his cannon arm and army of undead trolls. It was a hard fought battle, but in the end with the magical Angels’ Wings Rod, wielded by the lovely half elf, priestess Izmerelda, our heroes triumphed! They purged the cursed treasury and looted it, discovering such wonderful, ancient relics like the Mithril Wristbands of Zarxzur, the Tome of Spells Moste Foule, and the long lost sword Foe Burner.
Richer than they could have hoped months ago, carrying items of untold glory and returning to an anxious kingdom, they could indeed be called heroes! Garfunkle the Dwarf bought the first round of drinks for everyone at the King’s personal tavern. Layzlie the Orc Bard, played a merry tune for everyone as they danced. The Dragonborn, Dragorick, was fawned over by women as he put away keg after keg. The human ranger, Swordalot, chatted with Izmerelda and the Drow Wizard, Akerbaza.

“I can’t wait to see what amazing spells are contained in this tome,” Akerbaza said happily.
“If you can find one that’ll get you a hot drow, it will have been worth it all,” Swordalot laughed. “Come, let’s enjoy Layzlie’s song! It’s not often that she plays for the public!”
As he started pulling the other two from their chairs, Izmerelda said, “When do you think we’ll be going on another quest?”
“Soon! I hope,” the drow wizard answered, still trying to read the ancient book as Swordalot threw him in the arms of a busty bar wench. “Why do you ask?”
“Well, you see,” Izemerelda began hesitantly. “I really want to take a trip to the beach.”
Little did they know then that desire would rule the fate of many...

New Paris [a Modern-day LitRPG]
New Paris [OR] I reincarnated into the world of my favorite wuxia novel as an S ranker with unbalanced skills. [Volume 1] - Completed I was one of those people who only stood out in a crowd when their name was called. Then, I died. But instead of heaven, hell, or anything else, I found myself in the body of a young woman whom I did not recognise at first. You see, I had this novel I was obsessed with. The novel was a fairly popular wuxia that got a few sequels, and a handful of spinoffs. One of these spinoffs took place in Paris, where the main cast fought against a multi-millionaire villain. When I woke up after dying, I eventually realised that I was now the third daughter of this multi-millionaire end-game boss in a spin-off of a sequel of my favourite novel. Does this make any sense to you? Because it doesn't to me. But I guess I might as well make the most of it now. Just gotta stay away from some of the more unstable main characters and cut all ties with my 'family' to avoid certain death. [Volume 2] - Currently Airing It had not been a good idea to interfere with the characters of the original novel. Had I known it was going to cause a butterfly effect, I would have stayed in my lane and minded my business. Although, between the suspicious attacks I seem to constantly find myself in the center of, and my 'family' who is the living definition of the expression 'rich pricks', I’m not entirely sure my current predicament would have been avoidable. But maybe it isn't to be avoided; maybe I should embrace this opportunity that has been given to me and become the hero of this story? At least it's certain that I can't do worse than the original protagonist in terms of moral ambiguity; with immortality already in my pocket, and no other useful skills to account for. However, if I were to follow this path, I would have a lot to lose, including an upcoming promotion and my growing relationship with my crush. With power, glory and whatever else on one side, and my wellbeing and happiness on the other, even in this magical wuxia world, the choice is easy to make. CW: graphic descriptions of violence, swearing, implied child abuse, mention and graphic description of suicide

Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
