《Slade the Shade》Chapter 2: The four pathways and the wolf.

"Since you wish to anger me I will show the consequences of your actions." said the goddess before everything went black.
[Welcome to the Harrowing plain!]
[Traveler has not selected any class during the character selection and therefore will start without a class. All of the traveler's attributes will therefore start with 10 and will be given 10 attribute points to spend.]
When Slade regained his vision he was standing in a massive green plain without much vegetation. After looking at the system logs he was both happy and fearful. Happy because he has the freedom to build his class and fearful because he was not sent to any beginner's village like he was supposed to.
"Damn that petty woman, I was just joking with her, but now where am I?" he muttered as he looked around to find any life. All he could hear was the wind with nothing around and what is with the unnerving name of this place.'At least it is a bit more interesting this way,' he thought as he decided to check his status.

Strength will define the amount of physical damage you cause when attacking with your bare hands or a weapon. This attribute is primarily used by attack-based Warriors. 1 point of STR equals 2 attack power.
Agility defines the rate you have to avoid the attack of a monster, NPC, or player. 1 point of AGI equals 1 of accuracy and 1 of evasion. Increasing Agility will also make your movement speed faster
Vitality represents the number of HP your character will have within the world. This attribute is the most important at the beginning of the game because if your HP is too low, you will not be able to resist a monster's attack. 1 point of VIT is equivalent to 10 HP.

Intelligence defines the number of skills or magic you can use. If your INT is low while you are in a battle, you cannot use any skill that requires mana consumption. This attribute is the most important one for Mage-type characters because 1 point of INT is equivalent to 10 MP and 2 points of magical damage.
Endurance is the amount of physical damage you can take. Increasing endurance increases your physical defense as well as lowers your chances of getting a physical debuff. his attribute is the most important one for tank-type characters as 1 point of endurance is 1 point of physical defense.
When you first choose a class the games will set your attribute points towards your class requirements and only after leveling up will you get the freedom of allocating your own points. This was one of the reasons Slade did not choose any of the default classes. The other reason why is that when you select your class you learn and upgrade class skills faster by a rate if 2 times and 2 times slower for other skills.
After Slade was done checking his status he started checking out the item he owns which was admittedly quite a few. Just a cotton Tunic, pants, basic shoes, and a rusty short sword.
'Identify'
[Cotton tunic:
Equipment Requirement: None

[Cotton pants:

[Novice shoes:

Items within the Limits world are divided as follows from worst to best:
Iron
Bronze
Silver
Gold
Legendary
Mythic
Forbidden
Divine
As of now, Slade has no items to help him find where he is. So he started to look around the area and after 20 minutes he came back with some findings. The plains are empty no plants no lives and no mobs. There are four places he saw he could go, going forward from where he was would le to a big mountain with lots of cliffs and valleys. To the left leads to a desert that never seems to end and where you could actually feel the blistering heat from just looking afar. To the right is the most mysterious lake with cold mist steaming out of it. And last but not least behind him is a huge jungle with giant trees.

Now, where should he go, the desert is obviously out, the lake looks too dangerous and he does not have the energy to go hiking. The only choice left would be the peaceful-looking forest that looks like a trap.
Walking and gazing at the changing scenery while listening to the birds and insects and feeling the humidity in the air can be relaxing until you spot a 2-meter grey wolf that is giving you the same look like your friend when you left them hanging for an hour because you were sleeping.
"Hey sorry for disturbing but I will head out now," Slade said confidently before walking naturally.
'Inspect'
[Grey Wolf
Level:7
HP:1000/1000]
"F*ck...please let me go I'm only level one!" cursed and pleaded Slade while running from the bloodthirsty beast that is way faster than him and catching up.
"Let's talk this out no need for violence."
'i hope this works or else I'm dog food, I'm starting to really get angry at this shitty goddess.'

"*phew*im glad that worked."Slade smiled when he saw the claws of death that just missed his throat "hahaha hahaha what's wrong you got to try harder...Oh shit." He felt stupid because his taunt made the beast go faster. While he was running he got an idea as he rapidly started climbing a tree on his way just to look at the dumb mutt that ate some bark.
While looking down he got a great idea as he unsheathed "Look up here boy! That's a good boy!" shouted Slade with an inverted grin on his face as he started free falling parallel to the tree while holding his sword with both than hands.
The wolf only saw a sword's edge and a human with an excited look on his face before...*splat*the wolf's lower jaw was impaled on the ground while the young literary started kicking it while it's down until it stopped moving.

Slade was panting and wheezing after kicking the wolf for the umpteenth time"hahaha hahaha that was epic...damn I'm awesome...hahaha thats what you get you stupid dog hahaha" he was reveling at the moment until...
"Guys this is not what this looks like ...*sigh*screw you Elaina!" shouted as looked up with a face of despair and saw 7 wolves of the same type he slew but bigger and fierce closing upon him in a semi-circle formation.

To Know the Name We Lost (LitRPG/Fantasy)
Immortality. Forging Abhorrent Weapons. Celestial Alchemy. The power to effortlessly destroy entire worlds. For a group of mortals, who died, being offered all of these at the low - basically free - price of their Name is like a dream come true. Until they figure out that they were right... if the dream was a nightmare. If they die they respawn, but do they really have to die every day? That is unreasonable! But when it turns out that their name was related to their entire mortal existence and their memories are fading, they begin to wonder if the only true death they will ever experience is ceasing to exist as the humans they once were. Unable to die and unable to remember what made them human, is this what remains of their afterlife? Ae, the protagonist, is not ready to give up just yet; if he could just become more powerful then surely he would find the solution! However, that is where the End of All Things patiently waits for someone foolish enough to reach out to it.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
