'Hey system, what is this directional hearing?' he asked.
'Oh, that can be quite helpful. Right now every sound feels like it's coming from everywhere.'
'3 at once? Nice.' The gathering of energy was getting faster and faster now that he had overcome the initial hurdle. Slowly, the energy started to accumulate and he completed the tasks easily.
The all surrounding sound suddenly got separated and he could now hear them as if he were using his own 2 ears to hear them.
'Yeah, I'm definitely underwater. And I don't think it's flowing very fast too, or at least the sound should have been louder if I were,' he thought.
'Ah, the system did say I was in a glacier. Makes sense if I am moving slowly.'
He waited for more notifications to come up, but nothing happened. 10 minutes passed, but still, nothing happened.
'Hey, system. Why am I not getting any more energy?' he asked.
'Wait, does that mean I will have to wait until the sun comes up tomorrow morning?' he thought. The system said nothing, so he assumed he was right.
'Oh god!' he dreaded having to waste 12 hours just listening to what sounded like someone gargling.
'Is there a way I can sleep?' he asked the system.
'Oh, then can you wake me up when the sun comes up?' he asked
Suddenly, he lost consciousness.
He woke up to listen to part of what the notification had said.
'Why did you wake me up so soon, system? I thought I said to wake me after the sun comes up.' he hadn't even been able to get a wink of sleep before the system woke him up.

'Huh? Did I sleep for so long? But I didn't even feel like I was asleep?' he said.
'Oh,' he hadn't realized that. 'God, why is everything so cold?... cold?' he said as he realized what he had just said. Cold.
'Huh? I can feel cold? What's going on?' he asked.
'What is that? And how do I have it?' he asked.
'What? Status' he quickly opened the status page.

'203!?!?! How did I get so much energy?? Didn't you say I wouldn't get any more energy since the sun was down?' Without him knowing, overnight, his numbers had grown tenfold.
'Why can't I see what I have unlocked yet?' he asked.
'Yes, show me!!'
[Unlocks
Energy: Unlock

25: Directional Hearing

'Rotational Movement? Auditory Spatial Sense? What does that mean? Can you explain?' he asked the system.
Ning heard what the system said and started to feel around him. He could tell he was still in the glacier by the gurgle of water and the cold temperature around him. However, being inside the water, he couldn't tell exactly how large the glacier was.
'Hey system, does movement sense mean I will be able to tell if I'm moving?' he asked.
'Alright, since the sun is up, I should be able to gather enough energy now' he thought and waited for more energy to gather up. Suddenly, he got a notification. 'Here it is,' he thought as he checked.
'What? Wait… W-What? What do you mean I lost Energy? Why am I losing energy?' He started shouting. Why would he lose energy when the purpose of the system was to absorb and grow more energy.

'So, I can also lose energy and not just gain it?' he asked.
'I see. But, wouldn't it be hard for me to gain energy if I keep losing it?' he asked.
'That's a relief to hear.' He gained 4 more energy as he said that. As the sun started to grow higher and higher, he both gained and lost a bunch of energy.
Around 5 hours later, a little before noon, according to the system, he completed the task.
'Oh, I can feel it. I can tell I'm moving somewhere. Why can't I tell the direction though?'
He checked his status and realized why. 'This stingy system. Why is it making me do so many tasks to unlock the simplest of senses.' He thought.
The next unlock at 1000 Energy was Directional Senses. 'Well, at least I should be able to tell which way I'm moving using the sounds for now' he thought.
He let the water in the glacier carry him away to hopefully reach warmer climates where he would be able to gather more heat energy.

The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King
In a rotted away castle, Ashta awoke as a Demon King. With his ‘wisdom from a past life,’ he would rule over his lands as a thorough ‘realist.’ “Demon King, why are you attacking the level 1 Heroes?” “Defeat them before they become stronger. That is called strategy.” “Demon King, why are you sending fake money to the enemy country?” “To bring chaos to their economy so they will self-destruct.” “The werewolf troops have attacked. Should we use silver bullets?” “Not bullets, shoot them with canons.” And like that, Ashta ‘reformed’ the old tendencies. He became a lord who was loved by the people and his subordinates and would go on to be called the most powerful Demon King in history.

Jon was finishing up another horrible date, one among many, thinking about how alone he felt now more than ever. When suddenly fate shined its bright headlights of Resurrection onto him.Lighting up a path to never feeling alone again! In a goblin horde!? As the mythical Goblin Progenitor! I would like to apologize in advance for the first few chapters - as they are not super coherent in grammar or past present tenses. I try to improve as I go, the further chapters I feel are a lot better. I will keep striving to improve the story and fix things when the chance presents itself
8 573I Have to Text my Ex, or the World Explodes
Do you have an anus? If you do, here's a great little nonsensical story for you to turn off your brain and read while you're stuck in the toilet with nothing to do. Here's the premise of my new story: Andrew Garage thought he was the Chosen One.Stuck in a time loop that reset whenever a meteor crashed to Earth, he was determined to save mankind and get himself out of the loop. On his seventh try, he finally eliminated the catastrophic meteorite with an Antimatter Gun.However, a self-proclaimed Goddess suddenly appeared and sent Andrew back into the loop again because he saved the world 'the wrong way'. As Andrew bitterly scavenged for solutions, he found out that the reason the meteor kept crashing into Earth because. . . he kept ignoring his exes' texts. Great for people with anuses and people who want to destroy meteorites. Not recommended for people who expect actual logic like NOT winning the lottery five times in a row.
8 89Wanderlust
After having been given a prophecy at the Imperial Palace in New Tokyo, Sumire decides she's going to do some soul searching on an adventure to fulfill it. Nobody knows where it'll lead to, least of all the people involved. Wanderlust is a fantasy, action / adventure through California after a nearly apocalyptical event shatters the United States into the Divided Territories of America. The new wild west has started filled with guns, mist, swords, armor, and of course magic spellslingers. It has multiple points of view, mainly following two women in a story of connection, revenge, and focuses heavily on character development. I hope you enjoy. - - - A note on tags: as of writing there is currently no sexual content, but that will change later as the story progresses.
