《New Player Confirmed》Chapter 17: The Ride (Teaser)
Advertisement
A striking image came to memory when I looked at the looming nothingness in front of me. ‘Your phone was outside the EMP range, it should still work.’
“Alright Reece, I'm trusting you.” Reaching within my back-pocket, I clutched from within a black, flat rectangle. Bringing it to life caused a sharp light to enter the room, illuminating the area around. Whilst the Auditorium hadn’t been too dark, the bright light appearing from the screen was still with notice as I heard a loud shriek sound out from ahead of me.
The creature, who’s form I hadn’t been able to grasp or clearly see before, now appeared like ink to paper. Long, thin, skeletal arms stretched out from the creatures torso, which by the looks of it was lacking a lot more than food, as several rib cages were placed on display within clear view.
With the momentary shock of the light over, the creature’s red beady eyes locked onto me the same way I would view a custard pie after dinner. Delicious…
Reaching my hand around towards my back, my hand seeking to grab onto my most trusty weapon, the weapon which I had used to slay all monsters up to this point. The weapon to which. “Where the hell is my sword…”
“Oh, no..”
Having been given perfect opportunity the creature made to lunge at its target, which so sadly, happened to be me. Thoughts like, ‘I really want my sword right now’, and, ‘I wish I had magic spells, who needs a sword when they have magic spells.’
Making a narrow dodge, my body began to move on pure instinct, even with the statistic increases my strength and speed had become twice that of the standard person, which I assumed was 10, but even then this monster was fast. Whether it was from lack of eating or pure muscle power, and I had to stall this for 30 seconds! Screw 10 seconds!

Lone: The Wanderer [Rewrite]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer?

Flesh Forger
Born a bit too late to explore the world, yet far too early to explore space, Graham Lattem is your average 61 year old man - if a little wanderlust filled. That being said, he has a happy home, loving wife, children who check up on him, and a decent retirement fund to live out his golden years modestly. Then it happens. [System Initialization Commencing…] A trick of the light, surely. [Planetary Merger Protocol 331 Enabled] Rumbling can be heard in the distance. Shouts. Cries of anguish. A horrible, ear numbing crashing sound. An earthquake. A hole opens in the middle of his home, and our protagonist falls in as a swirling vortex consumes him. Mountains as far as the eye can see greet Graham as he opens his eyes. Well, and more glowing words: [Welcome To The Macrocosm] [Good Luck] Far away from his family in a world hell-bent on his demise, how will this old, arthritis ridden man survive? Did I mention he has cancer? ===================================================================== Aiming for at least 1 chapter every other day, though there is a very big chance it will more oftentimes than not be more than that! This is my first ever story. One that I’ve been wanting to write for awhile. The system is most definitely inspired by Randidly Ghosthound and The New World, but I promise the story is different! Please point out any mistakes, as I’d love to improve! Also the warnings are just to let me experiment.

Harmless Sweetie (Rewritten)
*UPDATES EVERY MONDAY AND FRIDAY, SOMETIMES MORE IF I DON'T HAVE SCHOOLWORK. **This is tagged as comedy but I have a really stupid and peculiar sense of humor so yeah. "That's an eldritch horror." "No it's not, it's a frog." "Why does it have ten eyes and eight rows of teeth, not just that but why does it just perpetually scream with the voices of the ones whose mind it has eaten." "I'm just not that good at anatomy." *** Clailip Diancia, the tiny boy who dances along the threads of fate woven by a wicked witch. Not knowing of the plans of the witch that once scorched the lands, and unknowing of the abyss that beckons him forth. This harmless sweetie watches the stories of those around him. Ever unconscious of the turning loom of fate, always oblivious of the stories, legends, and tapestries of heroes that revolve around him as he goes, as he dances, and as he prances, leaving myths and rumours wherever he might set foot in. But as he is unaware of those whose fates have intertwined with his, he is also blind to the soul-piercing stares of the Abyss, ever calling to him.
