《New World - New Beginning》Chapter 5: I just want a normal knife, please!
Advertisement
As I walk out of the guild, I start to check my map; first, let's see where I am and where I should go.
When I open it, it shows my current location. To the West are the agricultural area and the forest, to the East, there is a mountainous area that once you cross that area, you get to another town, to the North and South are roads to other towns, the map does not tell me the name of the cities, maybe it is updated when it reaches new areas, it is just like in video games where the map shows where you have passed and where not, well, at least it shows the roads that can take.
After this, we go to the next thing, which is to buy a weapon. I have no idea about what weapon to choose to protect myself.
A ranged weapon like a bow or pistol would be ideal. Still, I have no experience with them, and not counting the ammunition, swords are a good option too, but require some materials to keep them in optimal conditions; the same happens with the spears; I think I'd better use a knife or dagger as it is easy to manipulate, does not occupy almost any space and its maintenance is not difficult.
Now that I decided, I proceed to open the "αβΩ SYSTEM" according to Eos; this system not only regulates the objects created by humans, it also allows the purchase-sale of these while you are out of combat, let's try it:
"αβΩ SYSTEM"
[SEARCH]
[WEAPONS]
[EQUIPMENT]
[SPECIALS]
[CONSUMABLES]
[MATERIALS]
It doesn't seem too hard to use; let's see if I can use it by voice command.
Look for melee knives.
It takes a few seconds for the "αβΩ SYSTEM" to show all the available knives, jeez, there are too many, and they are expensive; how can a knife cost 100 gold??

Show me the prices from lowest to highest.
The "αβΩ SYSTEM" restarts and shows me the lowest priced knives first, that's better, the lowest priced one costs 15 bronze, it's affordable, maybe later I can buy myself a notebook and make a list, but first, I can buy myself a notebook, let's look at this knife.
... .what the hell
[Normal Knife]
[Price: 15 Copper]
[An essential knife for cutting vegetables, fruits, meat, and fish. Remember: 🎵 Stick the knife in, guts come out🎵]
[Butcher's Knife]
[Price: 16 Copper]
[A knife that was found in a place full of blood... I DON'T GO THROUGH THERE!]
[Brayan's Knife]
[Price: 16 Copper]
[A knife that was confiscated from a gang member, sometimes you feel the need to wear an upside-down cap].
Ok, ok ok, ok, ok ok, ok, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, I need a few seconds to figure this out, *sniff* ... *uff* ready... WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE DESCRIPTIONS!!!!
What kind of descriptions are these! Is the "αβΩ SYSTEM" fucking with me, or is it that it takes the liberty to put whatever comes out of its head? I feel like what's that "🎵Stick the knife in; guts come out🎵". I've heard it somewhere else, although, in a way, it's funny; you don't usually see this kind of stuff in video games where they usually put the typical "It feels cold to the touch for some reason".
I might as well enjoy it; it doesn't hurt anyone.
After letting that pass, I choose the standard knife since it fulfils the functions I have in mind; after selecting it and buying it, it appears directly in my inventory; once I take it out, I see that it's about 12 centimetres long, and it's comfortable.
I already have a weapon, mmm, let's see if I can buy a notebook and pencil.

Look for lower-priced notebooks.
The "αβΩ SYSTEM" proceeds to search and shows me the notebooks.
[Cheap Notebook]
[Price: 2 Copper]
[A cheap and straightforward notebook, perfect for poor people like you, plus it gives you a pencil].
.... what a son of a bitch!
I buy it without looking at the other notebooks; who knows what crappy descriptions it will give me.
I'd better get on with the mission, so I head west to the agricultural area and the forest to get the silora grass and help the farmer with the wheat, let's go!

The Light Bringer
Would you leave behind everything you knew to live the life of another version of yourself? A version from a land where status sceens, levels, dwarfs, elves, beastkin and monsters were real? A world where limits were not set in stone and danger or adventure could be around every corner? If you stopped and thought about it, I think you would conclude it was a bad idea. But for a guy like William Taylor who actually got to make this theoretical choice, he chose yes. He's learning to regret that very quickly. But maybe one day he won't, if he lives long enough ------ Just some details about what this story will be like. This is more a character story than a story about leveling up and becoming OP. That may happen in time but don't expect it any time too soon. The MC has no powers that he brings into the world. He just has to do the best he can with his wits, knowledge and will to succeed. Also it's only fair to warn people this series has a bit of a slow start. 1 chapter a week with occasional bonus chapters.

Philippines in Another World (Because Japan is too OP. Please Nerf)
This is the Philippines, the Pearl of the Orient Seas. It is a country of sunny weather and sweet smiles, where life is relatively simple (unless you are into politics) and where people are friendly and warm. However, it is not without flaws.For instance, Philippines suffer corruption in the government like other developing countries as well as decades of insurrection. The rich only gets richer and the poor gets poorer, while since time immemorial the country's denizens have this habit of hating their presidents and loving foreigners more than their own countrymen. It seems nothing has changed much since the famed EDSA Revolution of 1987.The year is 2042. Philippines has reached economic growth comparable to South Korea in 2022. Still, elite families control the government and social justice remains dismal. The younger population became increasingly materialistic while their parents are becoming more and more irresponsible. The problem has shifted from "how to decrease population" to "how to make spoiled kids' and parents' ass off to work".In terms of military power, the country has acquired considerate amount of firepower but remained one of the weakest in the ASEAN region thanks to politics. Worse, China and the USA has declared war against each other after a diplomatic blunder thanks to the incompetence of their respective new presidents. The world is doomed to a world war 3 while the Philippines was caught unprepared for war. Instead of finding solutions, politicians in the Philippines continued to blame their political enemies while the CBCP called everyone to prayer, hoping that God would make a miracle that make Philippines somewhat immune to nuclear weapons. Ironically, the prayer got answered in a way that is unimaginable....

The Polyglot's Rune
Fear. Regret. Memories. They all flashed before my eyes as my life began to fade away. I felt a darkness encroach upon my heart followed by a sinister foreboding. Within that moment I was asked a single question by a powerful, mystical being. “Brave being, do you wish to accomplish a great deed in your life?” “No,” I refused, but the voice did not listen. It summoned me to its world only to try to have me slaughtered. But then, I was saved by him, the princess who disguised herself as a man. He was hellbent on revenge, and he was determined to drag me down with him. This story is meant to be a bit of a mix of genres and cultures, so there are some elements that may seem xianxia like, but it's not exactly the same so I didn't tag it. It also has multiple lead characters but is written in first person. Schedule: Dropped Normal Chapter Length: approximately 3000 words Warning: Tagged [15+] for Strong Language and Violence (Gore and Profanity aren't very prevalent, but I added the warning tags just in case).
