CHAPTER FOURTEEN
What's a System and why does it want to 'delete' me?!
~
“I’m sorry that I worried you but I’ll be fine real soon
But it has been one hell of a difficult afternoon”
Twig tried to smile and comfort those who stared at him in grief
But found his face could not express a morsel of relief
Tears began to stream down his face faster and faster
He felt his life was just disaster after disaster
The meeting ended up being postponed for the evening
Twig being alive was sufficiently relieving
His family all took turns holding onto him so tight
That he thought his head might just burst but still it felt alright
He’d never been so happy to see all of their faces
And by the time morning came they had traded places
His father was the biggest crybaby of the whole lot
But if he’d cried more in the past, his wife must have forgot
The family all tried to comfort him and by midday
They’d all exhausted themselves crying half the day away

Log, your son is lucky to have a father like you
But if you don’t stop crying I don’t know what I’ll do
Maybe more intelligence will help to clear your head
If you dehydrate too much you might just end up dead

Hey there Delilah, your husband’s having a rough day
Guess it’s up to you to try and sweep despair away
Help your son get back on his feet, he has two of them

He still has a hand to hold a sword in, no problem
His mother and his father both received such status screens
They’d do there best to help him as long as they had the means
They sent his sisters home after they’d said what came to mind
And Twig assured them they could now leave their worries behind
“Twig, it’s been a strange day but we really need to know
What happened out there, and where did your status screen go”
His mother's was the sharpest sword of of all the town's fighters
And she spoke to her son like she spoke to her followers
The healer came back into the room once the crown had gone
And he could continue the quest which he was now on
"Tell me what you know about the nature of your soul
You practically came back from the dead, did fate play a role?"
Twig clear his head and rubbed the stump where his left hand should be
And looked from his parents to the healer, struggling to see
“I guess I don’t have anything to hide, but where to start
I’ll tell you what I saw after I was stabbed through the heart”
System Message
Warning, this soul entity is no longer in sync
Sharing outside knowledge could cause more harm than you think
Withhold any information you have come to learn
Current status is now impossible to discern
Twig looked for a moment in confusion at the screen
“Wait a moment, what does ‘System Message’ even mean?
Sharing outside knowledge could cause more harm than you think”
But when he said that, what he saw next made his young heart sink
System Message
Withhold knowledge of the realm which mortals shouldn’t know
If you love your family, tell them you must now go
System is unable to reintegrate your soul
But full deletion would result in far too great a hole

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.

Friendship Overload
A capricious master of the past is saved by an unsuspecting girl. When told to pick her reward, she merely asks for his friendship. “If so, then I will be your friend. The best damn friend there ever was!” As such begins the journey of a kind hearted girl and her capricious friend. However, the more they learn about the world, the crueler it seems. Will the girl’s light lift it out of chaos, or will her friend’s hidden darkness bury it completely? What is light and what is darkness anyway? In the end, strength conquers all. (More details below↓ ) For those wanting more clear-cut details about the setting: The story revolves around the adventures of a reincarnated reckless mage with evil tendencies and his prodigious friend who’s trying to be a good person. However, the world they live in is low on resources and overpopulated with several races which hate each other’s guts, overpowered monsters that shouldn’t even exist, and paranoid humans on the verge of destruction. Basically, it’s one giant bloodbath waiting to happen. The MCs need to strengthen themselves, learn and adapt to their surroundings (which become more and more insane with each passing chapter), and eventually, hopefully, do something to stop the madness before the world’s destroyed in warfare.
