CHAPTER NINE
A realm beyond realms and gods beyond the system?
~
Suddenly the burden on his body was released
Even in confusion, he knew that his curse had ceased
But then he realized that it could only mean one thing
He was dead, and suddenly he heard a strange sound ring
Achievement: Death
Finally, you poor young soul, a moment free of fate
I’m sorry we could not meet sooner, but it’s not too late
While you’re dying, your soul can commune with us out here
Though we’re trapped, we’re safe from the System, so do not fear
Suddenly, Twig found himself floating around in space
He couldn’t see a single object in the empty place
Everything was white except for one red status screen
Which he looked at intensely, not sure what it could mean
Achievement: Doomed
We’re forgotten gods that watch the whole world from afar
Though it’s hard to explain what exactly we all are
In this place, your soul is free from that strange deity
But if you choose to return, he’ll find you again quickly
“Why am I so hated by one of you deities?
Why have none of you ever responded to my pleas?”
Twig cried out but knew the gods would not be swayed by him
After all his own fate was decided on a whim
Achievement: Pitiable
Though we cannot bless you we can partially free you
The system cannot touch us here, and you have work to do
There is only one way to undo your cruel god’s crime
You must find a way to appeal to the god of time
“Why can you not help me now and give my stats a buff?
No matter how much I train, will it ever be enough?
Tell me what I need to do to survive and be strong
Advertisement
Even if you send me back I might not live for long”
Achievement: Loophole
We’ll give you something somewhat different than a blessing
There is one sure way for your strength to keep advancing
The system may have chosen portals to make your world strong
Dungeons of the olden days are where heroes belong
“I have never heard of dungeons, are they portals too?
That still doesn’t tell me what exactly I must do”
Twig was frustrated by the ambiguous advice
Though compared to his own god they did seem rather nice
Achievement: Forbidden Knowledge
We no longer have a place within the realm you know
Our era was ended by the system long ago
But from the start, it’s clear you had a broken destiny
There’s something about you which the system cannot see
"You're telling me I have to find a time controlling god
Isn't he up there with you, does he not give a sod?
What good would a god of time do for me anyway
Why can't you just buff my stats and send me on my way?"
Achievement: Different
We cannot interfere much more or your world will perish
Seek the god of time, the dungeons may just grant your wish
Although the system won’t allow us to participate
The dungeons and their cores may solve the problem of your fate
The panic started to leave Twig as he read through the text
Finally deciding what he’d ask these strange gods next
“You talk about a System, but what is that anyway
Aren’t you gods the ones who always have the final say?”
Achievement: Danger
The system did away with us because we were so strong
Deciding that the dungeon era had gone on too long
And though the dungeons left their mark, the mighty System won
And portals came about once all the damage had been done
Achievement: No Time
We’re sorry, but it’s now or never if you’re to survive
If we clear your status you might just barely revive
Sorry in advance for when the System comes to call
We’ll see if our efforts are of use to you at all

An Indomitable's Odyssey
The story follows the journey of James Walter from a mortal to reaching the peak of power and the many trials and hardships faced by him to reach his goal. Note- This is a xianxia based story without psychopathic murderer/brainless Mc that we generally see in such novels as I find it very boring and clichéd. It is my take on the genre and I hope it will interest the readers to come back for more. The novel might contain mature content in future. More tags might also be added as the story progresses. The cover art has been done by MadelynBlack. She is a wonderful person and a fantastic artist. If you need help with your cover you may message her about it:)

Cheaters Always Win
Chester Everheart knew that life wasn't fair. Some were born in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed, whereas others were born with a silver spoon with everything at their disposal. A scant few were dropped into another world, filled with monsters and magic and forced to fend for themselves. The latter was a rare, somewhat ridiculous trope; but it happened to him anyway. Despite this he followed a motto that applied regardless of the dimension he was in. Playing fair is for suckers, and cheaters always win. Cheaters Always Win is a comedy-adventure that I've had churning in my head for a couple years now. I'd like to think it still has the charm that most LitRPGs have while also being unique in its own way. Every arc of the story will subsequently have a 'Level Complete' chapter that details all the stats, levels, equipment, etc. gained by the main cast of characters. Release Schedule: MONDAY/FRIDAY 12:30PM EST Cover Art by @staticobra on Instagram ★
