message over closing pop up
Mal sat on the ground blinking a couple of times, before crossing out the TO DO for break gates, and putting a "?" On bill gates legs. They also wrote in their notes
got another weird message, same kind as the fall of humanity one. What is the path of fallen past, depraved = zombie guys?, at least I don’t have to break anymore gates, besides bill, saves me time now.
Mal closed their note book, double checked their barricades, and went to bed, not battling an eye at the accusations, they didn’t know people lived there, and if they couldn’t handle these depraved/zombies then it wasn’t Mal's problem. If anything, it’s even a little positive for Mal since now they won’t be recognized as the guy who burglarized a settlement.

Mal then promptly went to bed and slept like an over worked salaryman because the term slept like a baby is incorrect because babies wake up all the time. Now, sleep deprivation is probably the reason they fell asleep so quickly. But either way, there was no weight on Mal’s conscious that night or the next. Nope, not one shred of guilt, not Mal’s problem. Maybe admin39-A was right, what an ice cold bastard.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

Spilled Blood
The end-times have come. Dimensional rifts to another world have opened and spewing out are creatures from humanity's nightmares. The Spirit Realm has implemented the System as a desparate measure to arm humanity against the incursions in an attempt to protect their once home-lands, but cannot, will not, risk coming down to Earth themselves. The System is a boon to humanity, finally giving them a chance at survival and even fighting back. And Ed intends to do much more than just survive... ---------

Goes Unpunished
In the wake of human-initiated Armageddon, Colin Callum will do anything to survive on the streets of fallout Buenos Aires. But when Colin is infected with a virus that will warp him from human to monster, the hard-core, never-wanted-to-be-a hero has only one choice left. To fulfill a promise made to a dead friend. To enter Thorr’un, a fantasy world where Colin must choose a new name, a new identity and a new path. To figure out what the hell it even means to have Dexterity 20. But as he encounters ancient kings, crumbling dungeons, active war zones and beautiful women whose names he can hardly pronounce, Colin must face two vital truths. He never was much of a gamer. And in the world of Thorr’un no deed, good or evil, goes unpunished. Release Schedule: (Royal Road) As I can, building back up to 5x/week; (Patreon) Most weekdays Cover Art by: crow-god On Warnings: This is a high-octane, high-adrenaline, high-oxytocin story about mind-boggling adventure, terrifying monsters, a badass protagonist and, at times, the jaw-dropping women who fight alongside him. Is there swearing? Hell yes. Is there violence? Those monsters won't kill themselves! Does he meet (and sleep with) gorgeous fantasy babes? Of course he does! We live in a world of where many authors are afraid to include certain content for fear of scaring off their readers. I won't do that. I trust you. And if you trust me, you'll love my work.

The Anvil of Mankind
War, it is said, is the anvil upon which the gods forge mankind. The kingdoms of the north have warred constantly since their inception with little lasting consequence - until now that the balance has decisively shifted, and the kingdom of Stanmark has risen into the ascendancy following a brutal takeover of their immediate neighbor in Waccewald. The weaker kingdom's nobility have submitted, their pride and might in the dust. But even as the conquerors step in to consolidate their victory, many of those who kneel conceal daggers behind their smiles. Deniel is a youth in the hinterlands of Waccewald in the days immediately following Stanmark’s takeover. As a mere commoner, his life hasn’t been overly complicated yet by the change – but as winter sets in, this is about to change. He, like many others, will be forced to make choices, the repercussions of which will echo into all the rest of his life. However long that may turn out to be.
