«!! Threat Detected !!»
He heard the system's voice and a notification window popped up.
«A hostile intention is detected towards the Host. It is suggested to evacuate the area.»
«Compulsory Quest — Save your life»
«Reward — 1000 FP»
«Penalty — Death»
....
....
Looking at the screen, he felt the hairs on his body stand up as the bar of soap slipped out of his hand.
And he asked in a trembling voice.
"Y..You ...m..mean, ..m...m..my life... i..is in ..d..dan...danger?"
«Yes.» he heard the system's sweet and pleasant voice.
When he thought that everything was back on the right track, he had a bad day. But who could have thought it would deteriorate to this extent?
'Damn it! Give me more information. Who is after me? When will it happen? Answer me!' he asked in a desperate manner.
«No information available. Since Host has not reached Lv 10, the First layer of Ancient Manual, the system feels the need to notify the Host of any incoming danger until Host reaches Lv 10. After that Host has to figure his own way out.»
'You!...y..you still call yourself a system, who can save humanity?' he asked as veins appeared on his face.
«Yes»
Hearing the sweet and pleasant voice, he couldn't help but let out a barrage of curses.
"Damn!"
"Damn!"
"Damn it. Isn't this just a dumb A.I., who only knows how to praise itself? Isn't it too weak to save the world?"
"That old Man, If I survive this day, I will definitely kick his ass one day."
...
Cursing his luck, he got out of his bathtub in a hurry and slipped on the bar of soap.
Thud!
"Ah!, it hurts". he felt the impact as his body hit the tiles of the bathroom.
Realising the circumstances, he got up ignoring the pain. After donning his clothes, he rushed towards Uncle Rolv's room to find him.

With his parents gone, he was the only person he can depend upon. His father has always treated him as family instead of a servant.
When he reached the door to Uncle Rolv's room, he heard his voice, "Yes, the little girl turned out to be a variant, But those two were too fast. ...Yes, they took the girl with them to the capital.....But they left the boy, trusting me, since his graduation ceremony is in a few months....Yes, we can kill the kid to lure them out....Even if we can't get the child, those two themselves are a big deal....Hm..."
he froze and the hairs on his body rose. A chill ran down his spine as he heard the word 'kill.'
As he started to lose his calm, he felt a cool stream of air flow in his head and the panic disappeared.
Realising his dire circumstances, he decided to get out of that place.
he quietly moved without making a noise, planned to sneak out the house.
Ahh!
A squeak escaped his mouth as an alert appeared before his eyes.
«Skill « Calm Mind» has just been activated.»
«Host's Heart Rate: 80 bpm»
"Who's there?" he heard Rolv's voice, which seemed to be sinister after he discovered his true face.
Without giving it much of a thought, he activated his only self created skill, «Sprint» and dashed out of the servants quarter, while cursing at the system 'Damn it, you useless thing. if I die today and Humanity is destroyed, it's all your fault. Remember it!'
«Reporting to Host, with Host's current attitude and lifestyle, the chances of Host defeating the Heavenly Demon is 0%»
'Shut up! and please stop messing with my emotions. If I survive, I will definitely make you eat your words.'
Getting out of the main entrance, he heard a familiar voice "So I guess you heard everything. It will be better for you to submit without much of a struggle. I promise to give you an easy death. But if you struggle, don't blame me for dying without a full corpse." He said with an evil grin.

Looking back, he saw Rolv levitating a few inches above the ground. He remembered his father saying he was a wind element mage. Seeing his face, Max felt as if his instincts were yelling, 'Run.'
Without giving any attention to his crap, he ran for his life.
he never thought that his sweet looking uncle could make up such a face.
"Ha..ha.. so you decided to die without a full corpse. Interesting, now I am really looking forward to it."
he heard the bastard's voice behind him, catching up to him. He ran even faster, feeling his body go beyond its limit as he heard an alert.
«Detecting the Host's dire circumstances, the System has activated the skill «God's Blessing.»
«Host will receive an increase in his stats between 10-30%.»
.....
«An increase of 30% in stats confirmed.»
Yes! Full on 30, system, I love you, you're the best.
....
"How would your father, that bastard, react to seeing your corpse? I can't help but get excited at the very thought of it, ha...ha..ha...." he heard that bastard's voice again.
Suddenly he felt his laughter getting closer and closer.
Feeling my end drawing near, he couldn't help but curse at that bastard as he ran, "You piece of shit, this is how you pay us for treating you as a family all these years. Can you even call yourself a human? You are nothing but a scum who is so fearful of my father that he doesn't even dare to face him head on. And not to mention facing him head on, you even go so low as to target his son. Can you even call yourself a man after that? No, wait! don't tell me you don't have it -".
Before he could speak any further, he felt a strong gust of wind hit his back.
Crack!
He heard a cracking sound as he flew over the nearby wall and entered a house, shattering its window glass.
Lying on the ground, he twitched in pain as blood oozed out of his broken skin. He found a glass shard pierced his left leg and the floor dyed in red.
he saw him enter through the window with a face flushed red and veins popping out of it.
"You have got a toxic tongue, brat. Don't worry, I won't let you die until you beg for it yourself." He spoke as a disgusting smile stretched out on his face.
"Yeah! you were saying something about being treated as family. You really expect me to take that shit? That day, when I was powerless, your father took advantage of my weakness and made me your family's slave. But now, I know longer need to worry about it. They promised me, as long as I can lure your parents out, they will give me enough power to kill your father. After that, I will kill each of those old bastards of the association, ha..ha.." he saw him go crazy as his eyes lose all light in his hatred.
He stared at him with those eyes of his and even at the end of his life, he couldn't feel any hatred for that Man, but only pity.
What kind of life did he live for him to lose himself in his hatred?
He closed his eyes, accepted his fate, even though he was supposed to go against that. But even after a while, nothing happened.
And then, he heard a sweet and pleasant voice.
«Compulsory Quest: Save your life.»

With the help of the family Eevee and some new friends, Slate must navigate a mysterious new region filled with unknown Pokémon and dangerous enemies, and uncover its hidden secrets.

Some canon characters and Pokémon will also appear down the line. I'm not the greatest artist, but I'm trying to bring my ideas to life with drawings as well as words, so each chapter will include at least one piece of original artwork e.g. a Pokémon or Trainer from the story. I'll be writing in American-Style English, but let me know if you spot any British SPaG.

Fate of Souls
Nineteen-year-old Carter Elm awakens one morning with the arrival of the System, which shuts down modern technology and brings with it magic and beasts. With a desire to use magic, Carter begins learning it, soon setting off to enter the nearby Dungeon to complete a Quest. There, Carter meets Lucas, a wounded young man with an interest in alchemy. Together, they train to conquer the Dungeon they're trapped inside, developing a deep bond of friendship and more. When they finally manage to leave the Dungeon, the world is a changed place. Most of the population has died and survivors have banded together to form new settlements and societies. Carter and Lucas settle in to the new ways of the world, becoming adventurers like many others to protect their home and hunt what's needed. Occasionally, they even find time to go on an adventure of their own or just sit back and relax for a little while. There will be: wolfboys, catboys, fairy boys, and more, and there might even a harem of them. I haven't decided for sure if there's a harem yet or not, but I've put the tag on because it's not outside of the realm of possibility. There is also a Level reset mechanic that will come into play. This is not an OP powerfantasy. While the MC will grow strong, he won't become ridiculously powerful for an adventurer and will meet others at or above his own level of might from time to time. There will be times he struggles, fails, or needs to retreat. There is no posting schedule. Chapters will go up when I post them.

Beta Test
I'm sure I'm in for some colorful criticism, But if even a few people enjoy this, I'd be happy. As of right now the story is set in Delaware around 2005'ish'. A young man from the streets, aquires a beta test invitation in an unorthodox way. The plan is to have a comical adventure in an experimental virtual reality game. I can easily transition it to a full story if its well received. If not I hope atleast one person kinda likes it. P.s. This is a work of fiction, with made up characters. Any likeness is coincidence.

Proxy, a battle-loving delinquent, who is seemingly rough around the edges, but whose kind, fun-loving attitude draws people to him.

Richard, a normal teenager, whose polite, quiet, and less confrontational nature leads him to be less fit for battle but holds a desire to grow stronger, hating his own powerlessness. He is also a boy who can read the true emotions behind a person's words, but he sees this as a curse more so than a gift.
