CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR
You dare not say I'm picking on weak monsters anymore
~
He didn’t really know why, but when he read that blue screen
He just started running not sure what ‘delete’ could mean
He ran into the woods farther than he had ever gone
And even when he tired, still he kept slowly moving on
Achievement: Just Go
I do wish I could say that I felt sorry for you, boy
But seeing you like this, alone, I can’t help but enjoy
Hopefully whatever that great ‘System’ does comes soon
What better time to die than on a sunny afternoon
Twig ignored the message and sat down beneath a tree
He was far too hungry to lament his destiny
He rustled through his heavy bag but then noticed something
“It’s pretty full, but it felt so light while I was running”
Achievement: Full of Yourself
Don’t get cocky brat, you’re still the weakest guy ever
I just can’t touch your stats and make them any lower
Please don’t bother training though, you’d only make me laugh
You’ll still wind up dead in at most a day and a half
Twig was hurt by what he read but something still seemed off
The message was specific for a god who’d only scoff
He knew little of the gods, but how could he know that
None could say when in the future their death would be at
Just as he was going to ask what the god could know
He heard a terrifying sound that shook the ground below
He realized he hadn’t paid attention in his haste
And all that he could do was draw the dagger at his waste

[13]
A creature known to many who have led a hero’s life
A bear with hide like iron and horns sharper than a knife
They are territorial and hunt their prey alone
Known to eat their prey right down to the very last bone
The beast was of a level that would cause no hero fear
Unfortunately for young Twig, no heroes would appear
But as he read its status he had a pleasant surprise
“At least the monster’s status still looks normal to my eyes”
Achievement: ‘Eyes’ on the Prize
You crack me up you idiot, what do you mean “my eyes”
You’ve only got the one, or have you yet to realize
Anyways, I guess we’ve come to the end of the line
I’m sure this moment will be a new favourite of mine
He almost had to laugh but one eye was more than enough
He would die a hero, free of any curse or buff
And so he charged the Horn Bear with the knife in his right hand
This was good enough a place to make his final stand

The world traveler from the future
The world, under the guide of the System, was prospering. The Dungeons gifted untold riches to those brave enough to challenge them, and the System watched and helped those who were willing to complete its Quests. But not Charles. As soon as he appeared inside a dark cave, the system told him that he was an anomaly, that he was not worthy of its gifts. His mind was damaged. His AI companion was convinced that he was in a world of sword and magic. All around, schemers and manipulators tried to play their part in a story that was thousands of years old. Spanning entire planes and worlds. And yet, he only saw what he wanted to see. For a while, it worked. Slowly, but inevitably, it became impossible. The threat was too big to ignore, the evidence too strong. He was just a pawn in a game so large that it was impossible to comprehend. At its center, the System. The System was not what it seemed. It was a tyrant, or maybe just a tool created by someone or something so powerful that it could control entire worlds. And it had declared him its enemy.

Office Days
Follow Captain Monday and the Weekdays team as they fight the good fight against the villainous Weekends. Oh, and file form a33-2 before eoq3. Comes with a dash of The Office and Office Space plus a side of Super Hero satire. Office Days is episodic in nature. So each story is standalone and may vary in length and focus. The Monday Case is the first episode and serves mostly to introduce the characters broadly. Comments get +Rep for effort. This setting was intended to be a comic series but I never found an artist for the job... probably for lack of trying. The "art" is for concept only... it took me far too long to make and it's still all sub-par.

I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room
The universe is a very strange place. It will take even stranger heroes to save it."Absurd. Existential. Ridiculous. Tragic. Comic. The antiheroes of "I Don't Seem So Bright in a Well-Lit Room" are a kind of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with space packs, inadvertently colliding with their destinies against a starry background of witty wordplay. With a vision as sprawling and limitless as the loveably goofy universe in which it's set, Browning's wit, wisdom and heart are always at play, combining to form a wonderfully panoramic and very silly heroes' journey that visits every trope of its overlapping genres and draws moustaches on all of them."- Marcel St. Pierre, author of "Vengeful Hank" and "Cliché and Wind Go Hitchhiking".(Sci-fi /Dark Humour/Absurd) *Completed! Enjoy! Highest rankings:#1 Adventure#1 Action#1 Science Fiction/Sci-fi#1 Misadventures#1 Absurd#1 MindbendingAnd all because of YOU. Thank you.*Now available in paperback from Story Well Publishing anywhere you like to order books! www.storywellpublishing.comMerch available at:www.theseanbrowning.com
