THIS IS SO COOL!
That was all I could think as we were going through different weapons I could use just in case I got in another fight.
So far we have figured out that swords don't work for me and spears felt strange in my hands and they were massive.
We figured out that I wasn't bad at using a knife and I was great with the bow.
I was sparring with Nico, who was going easy on me, trying to teach me simple moves when the doorbell rang.
"I got it!" I said running to the door
I threw it open to see my best friend, Layla, so I immediately put my hand that was holding my knife behind my back.
"Cody! Are you ok!" Layla said hugging me. She pulled away and I looked at her. She had shiny golden hair which was pulled back into a messy bun which really showed off her multicoloured eyes. Her eyes were amazing, they had a million different colours in them, blue, purple, yellow green, and any other colour in the rainbow.
"Cody, are you ok?" She repeated
"Oh, ya I'm fine, just bruised up and a couple broken ribs, but I'm ok, I took some... Painkillers,"
"Ok good. Can I come in? I have to ask you something,"
"Ya of course," I said moving out of the way so she could walk in. She looked around so I hesitantly walked into the kitchen, opened a drawer and threw the knife in quickly.
The landing of the knife was louder than I expected and Layla seemed to hear it too so I shut it quickly and walked back over to her.
"Are we alon-" she asked but abruptly stopped talking when Nico and Will walked in holding hands and saw my golden haired friend staring at them

I walked over and nudged her shoulder
"Layla, this is Will my brother and his boyfriend Nico," I said and she snapped out of her trance
"Nice to meet you, I'm Layla," she said sticking her hand out to Will and he took it
"Oh we know, Cody talks about you allllll the time," Will smirked at me and I glared at him. I looked at Layla who was blushing profusely and I shot her a 'sorry' look.
"We're going to go to my room now," I said inching towards the hallway
"Ok, have fun," Will said wiggling his eyebrows and smirking again.
I blushed and walked down the hallway with Layla trailing behind me.
We finally got to my room and I slammed the door shut behind her, thankful that we wouldn't be interrupted anymore.
"I'm sorry about them, they're a little, um, over bearing sometimes," I said apologetically
"Oh it's ok," she said looking down
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked and she immediately looked up
"The guy that attacked you," she said hesitantly, "I don't think it was a person," what did she see?
"What do you mean?" I asked trying not to be so hopeful
"He wasn't normal, well he was, until he attacked you. He-he turned into some sort of monster. Please don't think I'm crazy, but I've seen that sort of thing before,"
"You have?!"
"Ya, but I haven't told anyone, you're the first, because I know everyone would think I was crazy,"
"What did you see exactly?"
"I don't know," she said, "it's hard to explain, why?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow, but I have to, um, talk to my brother about something important, please don't take this the wrong way but you have to go now. Oh damnit, that sounded so rude, I'm sorry-" I rambled but she stopped me
"Cody, Cody it's fine, but please don't tell your brother,"
"Don't worry, I won't, bye Layla," I replied as she left.
Now I have bigger problems to deal with. Layla can see everything. I have to tell Will and Nico.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
