《I Died and Got Summoned to Another World as a WHAT?!?!》Ep. 5 The Pit Part 2
Advertisement
Since I'm out here I should check out the central room, I was kind of in a rush last time.
'Activate Stealth!'
MP: 30/50
Once I am concealed by the skill I walk carefully back to the well room. I look around and see that there are no goblins, however there are several more rats nibbling at the goblins corpse. Still in stealth I slowly move closer until I am right behind one of the rats then I extend my claws and stab down at the rat's neck killing it instantly.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the active skill Sneak Attack!
Sneak Attack
Level 1
MP Cost 5
Attacking from Stealth deals 5% more damage.
Of course all the other rats bolt and are gone in seconds, but I don't mind because now I have more food. I am about to return to my room with the rat when I notice the goblin corpse has a rope belt over its loincloth. I don't want to touch the loincloth even though I am tired of being naked, but rope is always useful so I untie it and remove it from the corpse.
I get a pleasant surprise when I remove the belt, I find a sheathed dagger on it when I pick it up. Taking my spoils I quickly return to my room. Once safe behind the illusionary wall I set the rat down and pull the dagger to take a look at it.
I am immediately disappointed as it is rusty and looks fairly dull, but it is still a weapon so I decide to see what I can do to make it useful. I stare at the dagger while I try to think how to remove the rust and sharpen the blade with what I have available.

Rusty Dagger

Damage -5
Durability 5/30
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the passive skill Observe!
Observe
Level 1
Int +1
You can identify common level items.
Not that I need a skill to identify that this is a rusty dagger but the Int point is nice. I try using some coarse dirt to buff the rust off the dagger, it works somewhat but takes a lot of elbow grease. Then I use a claw to notch one of the leftover bricks and repeatedly draw the dagger back through the notch to sharpen it.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the craft skill Repair!
Repair
Level 1
Str +1 Int +1
You can repair common items somewhat.
Once the dagger is kind of sharp again I use it to skin the rat. Then I use it to scrape the rat pelts clean. Once the pelts are as clean as I can get them I use the rat's organs as a tanning agent and stretch them out and pin them down with bricks.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Skinning has progressed to level 2!
Skinning
Level 2
Agi +2
You can skin small to medium animals.
It won't work as well as a frame but I don't have enough wood to make one. Hopefully I've remembered how to do this right. After all I only saw it once on a random survival video.
Then I take the rat's guts and stretch them out and twist them tight and leave them to dry. Next I cook the rat meat, not as hungry this time I fully cook it. It doesn't taste any better but it is easier on my stomach.
Then I go to check the basin and while it is only half full the water is crystal clear. I drink my fill and then curl up on the floor to try to get some sleep.

When I wake up I am stiff and sore from sleeping on the cold stone. I stand up and stretch out the kinks then drink some water. Next I go through another workout routine to warm up my muscles.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Fitness has progressed to level 2!
Fitness
Level 2
Str +2 End +2
Okay that is going to be my morning routine from now on. At least I think it's morning? I guess I can't really keep track of time down here. Let's see how I am doing so far. STATS!
Name: Ash
Race: Black Lion
Title: None
Class: None
Level: 0
HP: 65/145
MP: 50/50

Unspent Points: 0
Hmm my stats have gone up nicely just from getting skills, but I'm still not healing very fast. I wasn't hungry or thirsty last night when I went to sleep so that wasn't the reason. Maybe healing is just this slow without any kind of items? I need a skill to help me heal faster....
Now that I think about it, in a lot of martial arts manga the characters can use meditation to heal so maybe I can create a similar skill here? Worth a shot I guess. First I try to sit down cross legged but with my legs bending the wrong way I have a hard time. It takes me a few minutes to find a way to sit that works with my new legs, then I slow my breathing and work to clear my mind.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the passive skill Meditation!
Meditation
Level 1
Wis +1
A skill for recovery. HP 5/hour MP 5/hour
'Yes!! It worked!'
It's still kind of slow but it's better than sleeping. At this rate I can be fully healed with sixteen more hours of meditation, and maybe it will improve if I level the skill up. Then I meditate for the next two hours.
HP: 75/145
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Meditation has progressed to level 2!
Meditation
Level 2
Wis +2
A skill for recovery. HP 5/hour MP 10/hour
Okay leveling the skill was fairly easy. My MP recovery went up but not my HP recovery? Oh well, maybe next level up. I get up and get a drink before returning to my meditation. I meditate for four more hours before the ding breaks my meditation.
HP: 95/145
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Meditation has progressed to level 3!
Meditation
Level 3
Wis +3
A skill for recovery. HP 10/hour MP 10/hour
Alright that is much better. Five more hours of meditation and I'll be fully healed.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

The Skies of Aurora (To be rewritten in the future)
The Skies of Aurora A world full of thousands of islands spread throughout an endless sky with no ground to be seen beneath them. Here we find Shawn Blake, who lives a quiet life near a dungeon on the Isle of Fallen Snow. Very few people ever visit the Isle of Fallen Snow because there is only one dungeon that has a connection to the island in all of the endless Skies of Aurora. Thanks to that, Shawn has been able to live peacefully on the island with nothing but his training to worry about, despite being a hybrid of more than one of the five ruling races. However, unfortunately for Shawn, his peaceful life is about to come to an end as some visitors make their way to the Isle of Fallen Snow for reasons unknown. The world of Aurora is a world of endless skies full of floating islands separated by open air with the void far below them, and the only way to get from one island to another is through portals that are located at the end of each dungeon. These portals are connected to the central portal on another island. This book is a litrpg, fantasy, and sky world all in one. I hope you enjoy my book, and I welcome any and all suggestions.

Become Leviathan
A young man struggles to put his life back together after his long-term girlfriend is killed in a mass shooting, but as he discovers more about the life, family history, and mysterious ethos of the shooter, everything, including reality itself, is called into question. A non-linear, multi-perspective, kaleidoscopic novel about the inextricable links between individuals, society, religion, and nature. Content Warnings: mass shootings, gang violence, violence towards animals, drug abuse, abusive relationships (romantic, familial, and interpersonal), various severe mental illnesses, and general suffering. However, please note that these elements are NOT included simply to be edgy--each topic is intended to be handled with respect and contain a genuine discussion of ethics. If you feel I have not treated a given topic with respect, please let me know, as I feel doing so is vital to the heart of the work.
