" PLEASE ALMIGHTY STONE WATCH OVER ME, ON MY JOURNEY BACK TO SAFETY"
Inside a ruined blacksmith, located in a Dungeon a peculiar sight is unfolding. A human being not old enough to be called a man but also not truly a boy anymore was kneeling on the ground front of a stone, this was not a regular stone though, upon this stone lay the remains of a skull, placed there by the adolescent.
"OFFER ME GUIDANCE OH MIGHTY STONE"
"......"
"....."
"Fuck it, I'm just going to grab that sword of the wall, take whatever I can salvage from that skeleton and get the hell back to the gate"
Hadrian getting up off the floor, walked over to the counter and jumped over it. In fpront of him lay a large selection of weapons and farm equipment, Hadrian grabbed the nearest sword he could.
'Ding' 'CLASS GEAR HAS BEEN FOUND'
'INVENTORY HAS BEEN UNLOCKED'
'RETURN TO SAFE ZONE TO ACTIVATE'
'THE PATH HAS UNLOCKED'
'PLEASE RETURN TO SAFE ZONE FOR TUTORIAL'
"Cool I can unlock my inventory now, still sucks I have to go back to the safe zone but what the hell is the path, ........well I'm going to find out when I get back to the safe zone"
Looking around Hadrian finds a sheath and belt for his new sword and secured it to his waist, after that he goes to picks up a long mace, "A blunt weapon will be better to handle the skeletons". Grabbing the mace off the wall, Hadrian jumps back over to the counter and walk over to the skeleton and starts to examine the armor equipped on it.
"Carrying this all back is just going to weight me down, I'm just going to grab a gauntlet for now and come back to grab the rest after I unlock my inventory". Hadrian rips the skeletons arm off and shakes it out of the gauntlet, "God that was distributing, ...... well back to exploring".

Putting the gauntlet on top of the counter, Hadrian stars exploring the blacksmith looking through the chests and the barrels. Finding nothing really of value to him now, mostly miscellaneous blacksmithing equipment, bits of ores and refined ingots.
"Damn shame I don't have a craftsman class, ........HAHAHAHAHA NO I'M NOT, WHAT THE FUCK WOULD BE THE USE OF THAT, I CAN’T EXACTLY MAKE A SKELETON TO DEATH!!”
".....yep, well only upstairs to search through now"
Going up the stairs Hadrian enters the top floor, seeing a hallway in front of him. The hallway links up to four doors, doors that where closed.
"I swear to god if I get jump scared, ...... I’ll fucking straight up cry”
Hadrian runs back down the stairs and back into the main room of the store, he walks up to the skeleton and picks up the stone that saved his life once already.
"You shall be used for a greater purpose, the great stone God has chosen you. To help me on my great quest and now you shall continue with your destiny".
Hadrian runs back upstairs and looks at the four doors that cover the hallway, he allowed the chosen one to reveal to him if there is any danger.
'Whooooooosh' CRACK'
He threw the stone straight through the first door...
'...….........'
'Skitter' 'Skitter'
Sounds come from the second door, sounds a scratching at the door just to the right.
"Well that worked, .....not exactly what I was planning but, eh close enough"
He walks up to the first door and takes a look through the hole he made, "Looks pretty clear". Hadrian slowly opens the door, revealing what looks to be the master bedroom, a large bed placed in the center of the room, two bedside tables one at either side of the bed, a large wardrobe placed against a wall and an ottoman placed at the bottom of the bed.

"Well time to loot the poor the probably dead residents of this blacksmiths, nothing wrong with that, ...I'm mean you did kind of literally rip the arm off that skeleton..."
"Looting now, moral conundrum later"
Searching through the room, he finds nothing of importance. Remembering to check under the bed to see if the homeowner stored anything of value under there, walking over to the bed Hadrian flips the whole thing over.
'BANG' "I should probably be quite, I'm guessing this isn't a two skeleton Dungeon, ...but how could they hear me, skeletons haven't got any ears....SKULLLL JOKEEEE!!!"
"Maybe look down now?"
He looks down to see if anything was under the bed, "ohhhhh, looky here what's this, what this I spy with eye, one little metal chest oh just a little padlock to protect you against little old me”
"Well kids don't try this at home", Hadrian swung his mace full force at the padlock smashing it straight of the chest, "Tada, MAGIC". Flipping the lid off the chest he looks inside, an empty box is all that greets him, "Really? Nothing?, .....great".
Hadrian walks back into the hall, "Still scratching at the door Huh?". Greeted by scratching he can hear whatever is in the next room is still against the door. "Hmmmmm, maybe use MAGIC again?", Hadrian stands straight in front of the door the scratching gets more intense, "Its scratching harder now?". Hadrian cocks he head to the side, taking a step back he listens out carefully, 'skitter, skitter'. "Hmmmm, so I know it reacts to sounds or maybe it was the vibrations?, but it is actually getting more agitated the closer I get to it, do undead sense life or something...."
Taking another step forward he presses his body straight up the door, 'SKITTER, SKITTER, SKITTER', "Yep it's definitely sensing me or smelling me, either way they know where I am if they get close to me, great they basically have a me-dar".
Hadrian takes a small step back and kicks the door straight off its hinges, the door landing on whatever was pressed against it. Hadrian not willing to lose this opportunity jumps on the door and swings his mace straight through the door.
'SMASH, SMASH, SMASH, SMASH'
"HAH, HAH, HAH, HAH, well I hope it's dead, re-dead or whatever the crap you call killing a skeleton".
'Ding' 'FIRST DUNGEON MADE BEING DESTROYED'
'FULL ACCESS TO SYSTEM GRANTED'
'RETURN TO SAFE ZONE FOR TUTORIAL'
"Cool"
Hadrian hops of the door and kicks it over to reveal what was underneath, Hadrian finally takes note of the room his in, the dull pink paint and old fluffy toys reveal who the owner was,.Looking down Hadrian see's the destroyed remains of what he can only imagine is a small child.
"...damn, that's fucked up”

Only Villains Do That
While waiting on an Akihabara train platform one day, ordinary high schooler Yoshi Shinonome was suddenly plucked from his normal life in Japan and whisked away by a beautiful goddess to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure, to serve as her Hero and drive back the evil Dark Lord. This is not his story. Standing nearby at the moment Yoshi was isekai'd was a man named Seiji - a rude, cranky, misanthropic musician who was not at all pleased to find himself also snatched up and transported to Ephemera by the goddess's wicked sister, Virya. According to this self-proclaimed Goddess of Evil, the whole fantasy adventure thing was a game she and her sister played to stave off the boredom of immortality, and since the good goddess, Sanora, had picked her Hero...well, Virya needed a Dark Lord. A grown man with his own career and ambitions, Seiji has no interest in playing. Unfortunately for him, the call to adventure was not a request. Now, he must conquer Ephemera and defeat the Hero...or Virya promises to make him beg for the release of death before granting it. Playing along for his own survival, Seiji nonetheless is under no illusions who his true enemy is, and it's not the naive young would-be Hero from his own world. Placed in an impossible position, Seiji must make enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron goddess off his back, but not so much that he can't strike an accord with the forces of Good and convince the Hero Yoshi that it's the goddesses who are their mutual enemy. Forced to embrace Evil without being too evil, Seiji walks the razor's edge, building his forces and biding his time till he can get revenge on the goddesses and be free of them, his only certainty that he will not be getting out of this with his hands clean. A Dark Lord's gotta do what a Dark Lord's gotta do. Updates Tuesday and Friday. Most Patreon tiers get to read one chapter in advance of the public release!

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.
