《Chances of Death: Seven Decks Book I》Book 2 - Chapter 80: Lord Deathless
Advertisement
The big jackass who demanded to be called, Lord Deathless, hollered at Deck Director Copton of the Acid Guild, “Hey, Director Fuck-turd! Move it with our robes!” The Director kept a smile on his face as he motioned for his men to take clothing to their guild's Fourth-Deck Guild droppers, and replied, “Yes, Lord Deathless”.
The Director thought to himself, “I wish I could fucking kill these four assholes. All they do is show up every ten years taking whatever they want. The other deck droppers in his party are all still incapacitated from mana withdrawal, but Lord Dumbass always drops without losing much of his strength or energy.” The Director continued to seethe inwardly as he thought, “Lord Deathless, what a fucking stupid name! Thankfully we will only have to suffer through a couple of days of the braggart telling everyone about how unkillable he is before they head off to the Oracle Deck.”
“Shithead! Why isn’t Soup Bowl here!” demanded Lord Deathless as he looked around.
Director Copton gestured toward the tall elf standing next to him and replied, “Soup Bowl Bob is in hiding. I have hired Aston Rosen, Associate Elf Mage Tracker, to help us locate him as soon as your party recovers from their Deck drop.” The Director was sick at the cost of hiring the Elf Mage Tracker for these asshole deck droppers, but he knew without the tracker they might kill him for his failure to present Soup Bowl to them. As much as he hated these droppers, he couldn't deny their power.
Lord Deathless went into a rage when he realized Soup Bowl Bob was missing. He spent about 5 minutes slapping around the guild guards and the Director.
Director Copton was on the ground, bleeding from his nose, ears, and eyes, just waiting for the stomp that was surely heading for his head, and ending his life. Director Copton knew this was an inner guild matter, and the City Lord wouldn’t intervene if the dropper killed him. He could only hope guild politics would stop the brute from kicking his head in completely.

Finally, Lord Deathless stopped beating on the guards and the Director. He then picked up the director by his robes, and while spitting in his face said, “Take care of the rest of my party, and you better hope this mage can lead me to Soup Bowl.”
During his tantrum, Lord Deathless made sure not to injure or even touch the Elf Mage. Even he was not willing to offend the Elf Mages. Lord Deathless threw the Director back onto the ground, looked over at the mage, and asked, “are you ready to lead me to Bob?”
The Elf simply nodded his head and turned to lead the way, while thinking, “I knew I should have charged more.”

The best 1% of humanity will be given a 1 cycle tutorial before the 5 cycle contest. Be brave, be bold, but most of all, be strong and earn your place and privileges. Burning red letters hung large in the vision of everyone on earth that knew a written language. At the same moment that smartest, fastest, and strongest people on the planet disappeared with nothing to mark their passing. After a cycle of training and growth they would compete to earn their place in their suddenly expanded galaxy. This is not their story. Joe did his best to take care of his parents house and stay healthy. He was the only one of the four family members not chosen. The societal upheaval made by the announcement made the inflation and purges of the 20's seem pleasant by comparison but he keeps his head down and survives. Once the next message arrives 11 months later about the contest starting, even that society broke down into city states around large population centers. Joe tightened his belt and looked forward to the day that his family returned. Two years later burning red letters once again filled his vision. Humanity, the last of your competitors have been eliminated. Your determined caste level is 13 of 13. As such your planet has been claimed and will be repurposed for ideal resource production. Rifts will be seeded across the planet to increase resources and mana density. Your orbit will be corrected to ideal Hegemon standard. Do not interfere with any Hegemon activity, as the bottom caste you have no rights. Rejoice that all castes receive at least the basic Hegemon Growth System. Better luck next century. Joe didn't comprehend any of it. His family was dead. Everything he cared about was gone.

The Way of Wrought Earth, or: My Tale of Rebirth as a Mostly Inanimate Rock
Mirage Winter. Second Clause, current act. A Relic Hunter's life is harsh — and often short — in the shattered lands of the Frontier. But when Whitelight reemerges, a legendary blade capable of separating anything the user wills it to cut, a newly formed unit organized of Hunter’s both young and old (and sediment based, in a particular case) vow to stop it from falling into cruel hands. Standing against them is the Frontier itself: the unbridled wrath of global federations, fellow Hunters, and those who lurk in the shadows of giants. As the world races to unravel a history desperately concealed, a semi-sapient rock soon realizes that some things are better off dead and buried — especially when those secrets carry an insidious corruption with no cure. Iteration: Mirror-glass Stars in Iron Oceans. First Clause. A soul wakes up as a rock, clinging to fragmented memories and knowledge of another era. What fate awaits such a creature? No, this isn't satire. Yes, I am dumb enough to try to take this seriously. Updates Wednesday, Friday with a variable amount of chapters. This story is not recommended for the easily disturbed. This is your only warning.
