Rise Of The Worm Sovereign Chapter 13
Advertisement
Lin Wu had never expected that his quest would just get even more difficult. The explosion had apparently wiped out all the beasts in the surroundings. Even if he could go further than that, it would just take him a long time to reach and would just reduce his lifespan.
He now had less than a month left to complete his quest or he would end up dying.
"What do I do now? With my size, I doubt I can travel much farther in a short amount of time." Lin Wu said with frustration.
But just as he said this, the sound of notification ringed again.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
NOTIFICATION: Extremely high energy resource found, marking on map.
QUEST ISSUED: Obtain the Extremely high energy resource.
WARNING: Area surrounding the resource is volatile, please proceed with caution.
—————————————————————————————————
"Huh? That was… rather, at the opportune moment. Just when I was about to give up too." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
'Let's see its location.' He thought.
"Open map." Lin Wu commanded.
~Ding~
The map window appeared in front of Lin Wu and he started observing it. He was locating the position of the extremely high energy resource that was marked by the system. He wanted to see how far it was and if he could reach there in time.
But when he actually saw it, he was stunned.
"Chickie nuggies! It's right where the explosion happened. Wait, it's not the reason for the explosion, is it?" Lin Wu exclaimed.
'If the system tells that it is dangerous and I have to be careful, then I definitely have to be. It's not like I can ignore the quest either, I have no other choice. All the other beasts will be too far from my location.' Lin Wu concluded.

"AH! Forget it, I'll just do it. If I die, I die." Lin Wu spoke in a helpless tone.
The location of the energy resource was not that far from Lin Wu's position. While it would still take him a day to reach there, it was still better than having to travel outside the radius of the explosion, which would take him weeks if not more.
This way he could at least get a chance at acquiring the energy resource and not dying. Having made up his mind, Lin Wu started his journey towards the quest location.
Unlike before, instead of crawling on the ground, Lin Wu crawled through the ground. His speed was actually faster while traveling underground than crawling on the ground. He would occasionally pop his head out of the ground to look around on the surface.
Though wherever he looked, all he could see was devastation. The explosion had evidently destroyed a good part of the area and it was only looking worse the more he got close to the location of the energy resource. At first, only the top surface of the ground looked blackened and charred. But as he got further, he found that even the lower levels of the ground were charred.
A few hours later he had reached a point where it was getting harder to dig because of the ground hardening due to the heat of the explosion. He actually had to go deeper so that he could keep on digging. The top six inches of soil had become rather hard. While it was not impossible for him to dig through it, it was still faster if he went just a few more inches deeper than that.
Though the biggest problem occurred when he was only a hundred meters from the location of the resource. He found that the soil above him had become extremely hard and he couldn't dig upwards. He thus went back a little bit until he could find a place where he could dig up from.

But then, when he actually found a location such as that, another problem appeared. The surrounding temperature was too hot for him to progress.
"What the hell is going on up there? Why is it still so hot?" Lin Wu wondered.
'Guess I just have to go a little more to the back.' Lin Wu thought.
Thus he went back a hundred more meters and finally resurfaced. But when he saw the sight in front of him, his jaw was left hanging.
"This… This… Not what the hell, this is literally hell!" Lin Wu cursed upon seeing the environment.
The area in front of him was on fire, with there being some lava pools. Evidently, the ground had been heated to a hot enough temperature that the soil, dirt, and rocks had directly melted to form these lava pools.
'What kind of explosion can even do something like this? I've only heard of nuclear explosions doing something similar before.' Lin Wu thought.
"I'll just have to find some other way." Lin Wu spoke to himself in a helpless tone.
'Wait, can the system help me with this? I should try it.' Lin Wu wondered.
"System, can you find me a safe path to the quest target?" Lin Wu questioned.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
ANSWER: Yes, the system can plot a course for the host to reach the quest location. This process will require system energy.
—————————————————————————————————
"That's fine. System, convert the vital energy into system energy and use it to calculate the route." Lin Wu ordered.
~Ding~
—————————————————————————————————
CONVERTING: Vital energy converted to system energy
PROCESSING: Analyzing parameters to find a suitable route
ERROR: Energy insufficient
CONVERTING: More vital energy converted to system energy
CALCULATING: Please wait patiently.
—————————————————————————————————
"Huh, I guess I gotta wait a little more while. How much energy did it use though?" Lin Wu thought out loud.
"Host Data." Lin Wu commanded.
~Ding~

"Chickie nuggies! How did it use up more than 300 units of energy?" Lin Wu exclaimed.
Just as Lin Wu was shocked by this, another notification appeared.
~Ding~

NOTIFICATION: Optimum course charted, marking on map.

No More Respawns
Synopsis: The first time Allen died, he was forced back into a living hell where death is temporary, and power is all that matters. With evil and depravity as the rule, tragedy becomes comedy and life becomes an act. Only a deal with a shady god can get him back to his old life, but what happens if there’s nothing left to save? Maybe hell isn’t so bad if you have infinite lives… until you don’t. Needless to say, it’s all fun and games until there’s no more respawns. Foreword: This story is meant primarily as an action adventure and secondarily as a dark and nihilistic comedy. It may not be readily apparent in the beginning, but that's what I have planned (I feel the need to emphasize the dark; don’t rage at me if it gets too ‘traumatizing’ or something). I’m going to take my time with this, so it won’t immediately inundate you with doom and gloom. This is also a comedy, remember? On that note, if for some cursed reason you just can't handle either the references or the jokes, I am willing to battle in the comments. Anyway, I still put a significant amount of effort into the system, so I hope you enjoy that part. It is a little bulky, I'll admit to that, but I wanted to try something new and its more fun when there's more depth to it. Regardless, I still have a lot of fun doing math in the middle of writing a fictional story (/s). I also want to see if I can keep from messing up the pacing. Many times, I end up going too fast because I'm afraid of the story getting boring, which tends to ironically have the opposite effect. I'm still learning I suppose; we'll see how things go. Lastly, please leave reviews and comments, they really mean a lot to me and (usually) help me improve considerably. I'll be asking for feedback in the polls and I do still check the old ones from time to time. Notes: The story takes a bit of time to develop; give it time if you're here for drama, grimdark, or antihero. The system is all blue boxes and I'm not half-assing the numbers. Chapters will be between 1k and 2k words usually. I always use the oxford coma, fight me. Might drop if rating falls below 4 stars, idk. It depends on how my life is going. Cover drawn by yours truly in MS paint. (I have skill, I know)

Skinwalker / War Chief
A System Apocalypse Fan Fiction I started reading Litrpg about two years ago. I fell in love with Tao Wong's System Apocalypse series. He is an excellent writer and I loved his world building, but when the second series arc went elsewhere It kind of lost me a little. I wanted to create a little parallel world that was very familiar to his fans but skewed off in a different, darker direction. If you haven't read Tao's work, you're missing out! Look him up on Amazon and read The System Apocalypse. One of the best in the genre.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
