When Slade reached far away from where the boss was, he pulled out an ax, a mask, and engraved leather armor.

Looking around after equipping the armor and mask, he saw a different scenery he was used to when hunting the wolves. Realizing he was lost he looked around before finding the mountain that could be seen from the village, but a lot closer this time. Looking for more opportunities he heads towards the mountain while looking for suitable prey for him to level up more efficiently. At the foot of the mountain, he found a black bear looking around menacingly.
'inspect'
[Mountain bear
Type: Normal
Level:8
HP:4000/4000]
[You have killed a Lvl.8 normal Mountain bear and are rewarded with EXP]
Dealing quick work with the bear, he tracked where it came from and found a cave hidden in the mountain. As he walked inside he could not see a thing just the light that came from behind, He walked until he barely saw the light showing his way back and found a few rooms in front of him with fire torches around. The first two rooms had nothing but sleeping bears which he dealt with before stepping into the final room. The final room had a silver chest containing nothing worthy to be found except just a few potions of healing and mana in it. Past that point was a set of glowing steel doors with a status in front of it showing...

[Entrance to Goblin dungeon
Recommended level: Level 10
Player limit: 1-4]
Ignoring the hint he proceeded carefully inside the dungeon and found that he was transported elsewhere as he was now outside next to a pond.
[Welcome to the Goblin dungeon to clear this trial you need to:
-Kill at least half of the goblins in the camp.
-Kill at least one goblin mage.
-Kill the hobgoblin.
Rewards will depend on your performance and will be calculated at the end of the trial.]
Looking around he found the campsite surrounded by a wooden fence, with about 50 goblins even a massive 2-meter goblin, presumably the hobgoblin. Scanning them he found three different variations of the goblins.
[Goblin warrior
Type: Normal
Level:10
HP:3500/3500]
[Goblin archer
Type: Normal
Level:10
HP:3500/3500]
[Goblin mage
Type: Elite
Level:10
HP:3000/3000]
[Hob Goblin
Type: Boss
Level:8
HP:15000/15000]
From what he could see while the goblins have less HP compared to beasts they are potentially more dangerous as they can use weapons and perform skills.Coming up with two plans one where he charges in and kills as much as he can or the sneaky plan where he picks them out one by one. Deciding on the safer plan for more rewards he spots that there are only 10 mages being protected inside the camp while there are groups of three mixed goblins patrolling around and hunting. In the middle of the night, you could barely spot someone jumping down from trees and slaughtering goblins around the camp. One group at a time Slade ambushed them from the shadows until there were only 20 goblins left. It was then that a huge roar was heard alerting the rest that there was an intruder. The surviving goblins started to regroup and now Slade's only choice was the first plan he came up with. With a huge grin, Slade wiped the blood off his scythe before dashing straight to the entrance of the camp.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Cry of the Mer Extras
A collection of Cry of the Mer shorts and extras. This will mostly be a series of scenes from Luna's point of view. Things from her past and scenes that have already happened, but from the different perspectives. It may also include the same for other characters such as a look into the pasts of Katie and Riley as well. Basically all the world building stuff there isnt time for in the main plot. This is mostly what I'll be writing on my phone on my breaks at work to keep readers having some content as I cannot work on Heart of a Mer while there. Most of you know the situation already, so this is my compromise for less main content. I do take requests if there's something specific you want to see.
