CHAPTER TWO
Friendship is its own reward (unless you're somebody else)
~
Every time they ran, the three of them would gain some speed
They’d get thicker skin whenever a small cut would bleed
Sky once learned to levitate while falling from a tree
Such a rare ability was quite the sight to see
Achievement: Like the Wind
You have run so fast you felt the wind blow through your hair
Here’s a speed boost with which you can run fast everywhere
It will level up the more you use it, so have fun
Maybe one day you’ll be much faster than anyone
Leaf came from a family of speedsters like himself
Some say that his grandmother was secretly an elf
But it was always known that one day he would grow up strong
And he would be the fastest on any road, short or long
Achievement: Thick Skin
You have scraped your knee, and you have worried this goddess
So I’ll give you thicker skin, oh no, your shirts a mess
Now you’ll heal much quicker to, but go and clean your shirt
Here, I’ll even make it so small wounds won’t even hurt
Pebble was a boy from a large family of tanks
Raised to take a beating from monsters and just say thanks
Though his parents doted on him, he was raised as tough
And his mother made sure that he was eating enough
Achievement: On the Wind
Your sensitivity to magic forces in the air
Is second to none as for as this god is aware
Take this levitation skill and train it as you like
You’ll be able to fly while your friends still have to hike
Sky was like an angel, and that wasn’t just gossip
Her and her goddess had formed a close relationship
Advertisement
Everything about her was as fair as it could be
As kind and talented as any angel one could see
Twig grew jealous every time he heard his friends’ reports
So much strength achieved for playing simple games and sports
But whenever he exerted effort on something
It was quite the different result his screen would bring
Achievement: Smell the Flowers
You’re so slow I almost feel asleep while writing this
Just stop running, surely it is not a sport you’ll miss
Sit at home and help your father fix the leaky roof
Don’t do things that you’re not good at you pathetic goof
Achievement: At Least It’s Red
You tripped over a stump because you don’t pay attention
Honestly, at least we learned some good information
You’re human after all, although you’d pass for an insect
Now at least you’ll get at least that amount of respect
Achievement: Breaking Wind
You fell out of a tree and farted when you hit the ground
Aren’t you glad that no one other than me was around
As a prize I’ll give you even more free good advice
Next time you think climbing trees sounds fun, you should think twice

Divik: Companion Two in the Orak'Thune Series
A city built on honour. A downfall built on lies. Divik is a cesspool. Left too long to its own devices, it is a city ruled by degenerate barons, unique in that on the surface, they’re part of the shiny ruling class. Enter the terrorists. Having decided on vulnerable Divik for their plans long ago, it is an easy corridor of which to get a foothold on the otherwise impenetrable, ultra-patriotic Orak’thune nation; and they have a message for its Fire Queen. The countdown to their demise has been set, the players on the board unwittingly outmatched. The innocent residents will be victims in the crossfire if the last good knight, Colonel Rabb, can’t clear them out of the way in time. Living Fire: Book Four in the Orak'Thune Series tells the tale of how King River and Hanna get embroiled in the coup, and how Queen Nyssa and Jara get them back from the clutches of a sociopathic terrorist and out of an imploding city. But what really happened inside Divik that it fell so quickly? How did Malta and his underling Krug, even get this close at all?

8 173Man With a Mace
Life sucks, and then you die. And then it gets worse. Pritchard was the only weeaboo at his Tennessee high school, and was little else, until the night before graduation. Just as he confesses to Sasha, the girl he's had a crush on for years, Pritchard dies in an act of God and finds himself in a fantastical new world with his crush, drawn into the service of the Dark Lord to purge all Good from the land. Of course, now he's a goblin. And a cleric. And Sasha's a half-orc barbarian. And by "drawn into the service of the Dark Lord" I mean Sasha was, and Pritchard just happened to be pulled along by accident. Sasha's actually a bit of a bitch, and doesn't care if Pritchard rots in the sand mines or not. But even for a goblin slave, things can get better. The Dark Lord was kind enough to give Pritchard a Hero Core, and Pritchard is nothing if not a minmaxing bastard.
8 108My Roleplay Server
Given the chance to reincarnate in a world with two wishes, who would say no? Especially when you could live a life you've always wanted. This is supposed to be a relaxed story about a man fulfilling the dreams he couldn't in his first life. There will still be drama and more adult things, but overall it will be pretty chill. The action of the story will come in when he finishes making the server. As of right now, 4/6/2022, it's looking like this is going to be a slower-paced novel. Hopefully, in the future, I can get the pacing downright. This is my first released story, so feel free to give me all your constructive criticism. I do plan on finishing this story. Please point out any mistakes you see. This novel is also on Webnovel and Scribble Hub.
