While Ryan was lost in thought, they arrived in the said dungeon, and he couldn't help but frown at the high number of people working around the place. It looked like a small town where one could find anything that helps them clear a dungeon. Weapon shops, people selling potions, blacksmiths repairing and forging weapons… there were even some women with revealing outfits trying to sweet talk some survivors.
"Is that…" Ryan frowned.
"Prostitutes… some people concluded that they are not fit to fight, but they don't care about selling their bodies," Bianca said.
Bianca looked pretty disgusted. As for someone who fought since the very beginning, she probably loathed survivors who chose another path… Still, in the end, she and her friends knew that they couldn't limit the survivors' options.
Without wasting time, Bianca assembled the survivors who would get their classes today and the guards who usually stayed around the dungeon. Since she started to talk in Portuguese, Ryan didn't understand anything, but Ryan could tell by the stares that some survivors didn't like to give special treatment to an outsider when there were others from the city that have been waiting for their turn.
"Do you need a translation?"
"No… can you even understand them?" Ryan asked.
"Why do you think I can talk with you? Dragons have the ability to understand all sorts of living beings. While that skill is at a low-level like all the others when he arrived on this world, it is enough to understand the language of a sapient being."
"How convenient," Ryan said. "A skill like that must consume a lot of mana."
"No, since I am talking directly with your spirit, I am not making use of that skill."
"Let me guess. You are going to offer another contract or clause bullshit?" Ryan asked.

"… I wish you could feel this… the feeling of needing something desperately, something that you don't have that someone has… you need just a small portion to yourself, but you only receive insults and shame instead. This feeling is much worse given that I am a dragon."
That was… pretty uncomfortable to hear. Ryan was only cautious, but it looked like, from Femradiel's perspective, he had been only sarcastically humiliating her. That wasn't his intention, but intentions alone aren't enough… what is really important are facts and results.
"Hey, we are going," Bianca said.
While Ryan was lost in thoughts again, Bianca called him. He joined the group of civilians that didn't have a single class. Since it doesn't matter where he would be, Ryan decided to stay far behind the group. He would feel more comfortable by not exposing his back to strangers, even though they were much weaker than him.
Regardless, soon Ryan saw the Giant Spiders, and as expected, they were pretty creepy with their several eyes and body covered in fur. That thing was like three meters long and wide and… Bianca exploded it easily with a single Electric Sphere.
"Let's go," Bianca said.
When the next spider appeared, Ryan and the others were already inside the dungeon. This time he made sure to use Appraisal since he didn't know when he would find those creatures again.

"I guess I could make some nice magic items out of them," Ryan muttered under his breath. "Then again, I shouldn't show what I can do that easily here."
After Bianca singlehandedly killed ten or so of those spiders, they finally reached the end of the dungeon. Much to Ryan's disappointment, the boss was just another spider. A bigger spider, but a spider nonetheless. Bianca and her friends began to run around the spider while firing magic projectiles. The spider did the same since the poor monster didn't know which target to attack. Moreover, whenever Bianca attacked the monster with Electric Spear, the monster suffered a lot of damage and even was stunned for several seconds.
In the end, a tier-three boss that was at level 110 didn't even last for a full minute against mostly Bianca. It was only natural given that she had the dragons' power, but Ryan couldn't help but sigh. He was getting bored much sooner than he had expected.
"When did I become such a battle freak?" Ryan frowned after laughing for a few moments.
Ryan couldn't tell what he did or if it was only natural given that he was the stranger, but Bianca made sure that he would be the last person to choose a class. While that bothered him a little, it was only due to the fact that he wanted to move on with his journey as fast as possible.
Congratulations! You have cleared the dungeon and obtained its treasure! As a reward for your achievement, you can obtain one of the three following classes: Saint Knight, Combat Mechanic, and Conjurer.
Please be aware that clearing this dungeon again won't give you the chance to unlock the other remaining classes. If you want to obtain them, you will have to search for those in other dungeons.
Two new classes appeared while Ryan had already seen the Conjurer class. Now that Ryan thought about it, he should have asked Gustavo about the classes, even if his options were already decided from the very beginning.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.

The Eternal Vigil
The year is 2220, a time when governments and nation-states are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Instead, all prominent parts of human society are now organizing around the commands of three great Artificial Intelligences, owned and operated by the world's largest corporation. World peace has been achieved, and the very word 'politics' has disappeared from people's lips. Religion has largely disappeared, replaced in some parts by worshipping of the great AIs, but mostly substituted by a devotion to material goods and faith in the market. There is now a general consensus that the best form of government has been found. No, it is not democracy, nor is it autocracy or oligarchy. Instead, it is technocracy - rule by the learned, the intelligent, and the skilled. And who are more learned, intelligent, and skilled than the great AIs? Exactly, no one. The AIs will correct some market failures once in a while, but shall otherwise let the market be free. After all, the freer the market, the freer the people. Some may question how society advanced to this stage, but that is all they will do - question. Because they will not find answers, for history is no longer taught anywhere. After all, it is not a practical subject. One cannot get a decently paying job with a history degree. Society doesn't have any time for people to idly ponder about the past. No, this is a practical society of practical people: engineers, doctors, lawyers, developers, managers, bankers, soldiers, and the such. My name is Aiden Scivit and I used to be one such practical man: minding my own business, doing my job, with the faith that hard work will always be rewarded by the market...and that politics and philosophy were things thought of by idly people who leech off society. But this all changed, and here is my story, my history. Just because the stories of ages long past have been erased, does not mean that a brand new beginning cannot be created. The story is already finished but I still need to do some editing so a chapter should be released each day for a month. It is a bit political, as you can probably tell by the introduction, so there is that (it will low-key read like a philosophy dump 10% of the time, so really it's like Atlas Shrugged but liberal and worse lol). Also, I actually wrote this in grade 10 as part of my MYP Personal Project, and recently touched up on it for online publication. Finally, if you find the writing style passable and are interested in my other works, check out the one in the link below. It is a fantasy set in the Ancient Greek world, and is completed and uploaded in full: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/35099/the-oresteia-modernized
