《I reluctantly became the dungeon master》Chapter 0: a new life
Advertisement
I am John Mullard, an ordinary person like everyone else. As a programmer on a game software company, I have been working for many days in the company.
“At least I have enough money to survive,” I said that to encourage myself.
Now I am fixing some bugs in the game for my boss. He said we have to finish it otherwise we have to stay here.
“After this and I can go home” I muttering to myself.
I rearrange my stuff and walk home. ‘What should I eat tonight?’ I think as I check my wallet, ‘I have to eat instant noodles, then I will take a nap until morning’. I head home in a good mood. After finishing everything I go to bed. ‘I will have a sweet dream tonight.’ I turn off the light and sleep.
I tried to wake up, but the back pain held me back.
‘Where am I’ I say with surprise.
I remember I died from a thief, a violent thief. He hit me on the head with his hand and asked me where my money was. I was so scared because he had a knife. I want to fight him but I can't. He seemed impatient, I guess that's why he kept shouting. But I couldn't say anything maybe because of fear, or because I was tenacious I thought. I heard something, which made the thief really angry. He holds his knife tightly and stabbed me. It was really hurt. My eyes became blurry, my consciousness faded away.
‘So this is the death.’ I thought ‘so cold and dark and silence…’……..
‘Don’t worry, young boy’ the voice comes from somewhere ‘let me introduce, I am a god. Because you are one of the luckiest people, you will be revived again in another world. You will have a beautiful life there as a hero. Good luck!’.

I’m confused but soon recovered. ‘So I will be a hero in another world.’ I think.
But after I thought that, another voice sounded:
Error:
Teleporting..., failed.
Recalculating the coordinates…, failed.
Finding new coordinates…, success.
Now teleporting…, 50%..., 75%..., 100%..., success.
After remembering everything, I immediately stand up. I look around to exam this place but I can’t see anything. It is completely full of darkness.
“So this is the new world” I muttering to myself. “but where is this place?”
I walk toward but in front of me is a wall. I turn around and exam this place. After walking around for 15 minutes, I can guess this is a room with a pedestal in the middle.
“Something must be on top of this pedestal”, I mutter.
I reach out that object and touch it. Suddenly sleepiness strikes me. My whole body seems to lost all strength and collapse. I blank out my mind and fall asleep. Goodnight!

Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.

Divine Intervention Online
Vin is an ex-slave who wields sacred knowledge to demand freedom for his people. Seth is a reluctant player stuck in a game that is set to last 200 more years. When their paths converge, even the false gods will take notice. * * * Hello and thank you for giving Divine Intervention Online a chance. This is not my first book (that honor belongs to The Flock by Chris Sauter- available on Amazon). This is hopefully going to become my second book, the first of a planned LITRPG trilogy. This is a labor of love, dedicated to my absolute obsession with the LITRPG genre that has held me in its grasp for over 3 years. There will be dark situations that perhaps only adults should read including: slavery, violence and the results of war. There will be no harems, little profanity, but possibly some triggers for people who don’t like torture, violence, and other dark stuff.

Same Crap, Different World
A young man from early 21st century wakes up in a different world. This world is like a typical setting of an fantasy isekai novel. But it is also not. There is magic, alchemy, magical creatures, different non-human races, peasants and nobles, demons and dragons. But there is also politics, persecution, supremacism of every kind, entitlement, slavery and other unpleasant human tendencies. In short, this new world does not differ much from his old one. However, besides him, there may be others who have made such a strange trip, and awakened into this new world. There certainly have been others, in the past. But more than people and other living things, there have been items. All sorts of items, which are regarded as otherworldly artifacts with unknown danger and power. And he himself is an artifact as well, albeit a living one. Therefore he has use for the powers that be. He is also given a role and expectations to fulfill, to hide his real value. And in all that he still has to make sense of what has happened, what is happening, and find a way back, if possible. Author's note: I write this project mostly in (except chapter 1) in 60-100 page (40,000-70,000 word) chapters, edit them as such and later cut them down for publishing into 7-11 page segments (depending on natural breaks in the flow). Therefore, each chapter may be divided into 10-15 subchapters.
