《The New World Rising : How to Build a Dungeon Kingdom》Chapter 1 - The First Prey
Advertisement
The first thing I ever felt was hunger. I got up on my feet and started to prowl under the shadow of evergreen trees for food. My pursuit of finding something to eat luckily shortly resulted in success. I saw a hare in a small bush 50 meters in front of me. I did not have any skills yet, but my luck was immeasurable due to the full moon. Jumping on the bush without a second of hesitation, I caught the hare from its ears. I killed my first prey with an instinct of survival.

The sentences crossed my mind as if announcements were made just because of my actions. I understood all of them except for the last one.
“10 Spirit Coins (SP) earned”
What did this mean? I tried to imagine the topology of whatever this “spirit coin” was. Just when my head started to ache a little, a list appeared before my big shiny eyes.

Flintstone. That was what I needed for the hare. I figured out that this was a purchasing system, but I did not know how to purchase that which I need to. Maybe if I imagined buying it… I decided to give it a shot.
A small flint stone appeared above the palm of my left hand. I grabbed it and sat on the first rock before me. I gathered some sticks from the ground and made a fire. I ripped the skin of the hare I caught with my bare hands and started to heat the meat.

*Title “Survivor” earned
*25 SP earned
I ate the hare with a great joy. It was not tasty but I did not care about its taste as I devoured the meat. Honestly, I was starving.
I wanted to use the skin of the hare but it was perished. I finished my food and got on my feet to find a place to spend the night. I was desperate to find a place to sleep safely. I found an open field enclosed with different types of trees and a river. I concluded that this would be a good place to settle.
It was darkening and sun was about to disappear from the sky very soon. I did not know of any creatures dwelling on the ground in this planet anew to him. I decided to climb up a tree and spend the night on a branch. I looked around and found a strong enough branch to spend my night on.

The Symphonia Of Erde (DISCONTINUED) (ARCHIVED)
Jakob Fowlhunter and Marie Budgerigar are bounty hunters who are always on the road; travelling from town to town, city to city, in search for wanted criminals that would fetch them some decent amount of gold in exchange for their life. A wicked job for wicked people as they say, but things weren't easy as it seems when THEY themselves are always on the run. Whether from vengeful barons or rivals with personal vendetta, there are always those who wanted them captured dead or alive (mostly dead though). But all of it would soon change when the two stumbled upon another curious duo; a former knight-wannabe adventurer and a travelling humanitarian doctor who isn't exactly a human. From there on, it's an all out adventure for four of them as they ventured across all of Erde; a world of wondrous magic, mystical beings, legendary warriors, kings of great and terrible, mighty dragons of all shapes and sizes and other stuff you would expect coming from a fantasy world archetype.

The Ginsu Mage
Currently in queue: Episode 13 in progress. Set in the Aurora: Apocalypse universe.Updated every Friday. If it's not updating, I'm working on my other fictions.If nothing's updating, I ran out of whiskey. Be patient. The Gunsu Mage is a hot mess of garbage that should not be taken seriously by anyone. It’s a vaguely-GameLit spoof of Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomoni (In Another World With My Smartphone) where the MC ends up in another world and fused with his kitchen applicances, mashed up with fantasy western elements. Dungeons & Dragons meets the Wild West in an alternate high-fantasy timeline. Guns & Goblins. Cowboys & Wizards. Locomotives & Dwarves. Don’t expect great writing, accurate numbers, or common sense. Hell, don’t expect anything — just relax and let it happen.
