《Earth: The Gods' Playground》Chapter 2

Chapter 2
As I was thinking about the future in front of me again appeared a screen.
Gods' Playground has started! Players are now able to participate. Good luck little mortals.
"So it has started"
The next moment I hear a roar of a beast outside.
I cautiously approach my window and look and try to spot it.
"It's there, this fucker is some kind of boar, but being that big he could probably crush me like a stick."
It looks like a boar but it has pitch black fur and from his mouth rises some big fangs.
Boar outside is walking around sniffing ground, maybe I left a fragrance when I returned from my car?
He is approaching the car.
"no, no, nono, Hell no! This pig is now charging at my precious car!"
"throttle throttle... Crash."
"Ah my little car now doesn't have right front door" sniff.
"I will have revenge for this you stupid monster."
"Come to think of it, it's 12 am now but even so in this flat I live for 4 families there should be other people right now..."
"or maybe outside" I talk to myself as I hear loud scream.
~~~~
Change of POV to Old lady neighbor:
As I walked towards my home I surprisingly spotted a boar.
But hey isn't he too big?
Oh, no, why is it charging at me?!
"AAAAAAAHHHH"
I cry as I try to dodge.
"What the hell is going on? Is it connected to that message from before?" clueless I stand from where I jumped and try to run toward my flat.
It crashed into the trash can but it didn't stop it.
It looks confused because I dodged?
But after a second he spots me again and charges.
"Fuck!!!"

I'm only ten meters from my door.
But won't it crush it when he crashes into it after I close it after me?
As I check how far is it behind me is the worst time in my life...
I toppled on a pebble.
"Aurghh!"
I cry as I slide by rock pathway.
~~~~
Return to Thomas POV
"She toppled, how can you topple in life-death situation?"
"Ah this lady can't even run away. What a pity that the monster boar is right behind her" I say as I see the lady pierced by elephant like fangs although smaller.
"It must've hurt a lot" I tremble.
"Pity I couldn't save her, If I have gone there we would be both dead by now."
But as it weights about 200kg and is fast then it should be worse in turning.
I should be able to dodge it just before he crashes into me, and slash it side with my makeshift spear.
"Looks like other neighbors won't come outside for now to fight it, maybe they are scared or just preparing, but this is my chance."
"Don't think I can't even beat a boar in front of my house!"
I step outside my apartment and quietly step down the stairs leading to outside door.
Placing my ear right next to the door frame I can hear it gurgling sounds.
"Does this monster eat human flesh? No way."
I better hurry.
I carefully open the door so to not make much sound, but as I open it halfway it hears me.
"Shit, must it have so good hearing sense?!"
No choice then, I charge.
Now that I'm in front of it, it sure looks scary for a boar.
Just as we almost crash into each other, I jump sideways while pressing my spear to the right with all my might.[/size][/color]

Slash
I managed surprisingly to tear of some flesh of it but my arms are numb from the shocking counter force.
"Come here! You bitch!"
I turn the same moment and charge again, the monster is too slow to turn and I have an opportunity
Crack...crack..shatter
I kicked it's leg with my reinforced boot and luckily broke it, looks that it is a weak spot.
"Weak leg bones huh? Better this than no weakness."
The boar is hurt, now that one of it's leg is broken it slowed down, but not enough to stop being threat to me, it looks angry as hell.
"Let's end it, come on you monster!"
I charge again and step to the left, monster due to hurt leg can't turn that fast and he falls.
Best possible situation has happened.
Beast is defenseless.
This is my chance.
I look at my spear that barely hangs on from just one hit, and steel myself, this will be my first kill in life.
I rise my spear high to the sky.
Gurgle...gurgle
Monster is making incomprehensible voices.
He asks me to be spared.
"You should do that before you killed my neighbor and tried to do same to me. DIE!"
I pierce neck of the boar and blood flows unceasingly.
I did it.
My first step.
As I look at dead body in front of me excited, familiar screen greets me, as I feel sharp pain in my whole body.
I drop to my knees but keep my consciousness
CONGRATULATIONS! By killing monster in front of you, you registered your wish to participate. You are now a player.

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
