CHAPTER THIRTY THREE
I thought only comedy and sneezes came in threes
~
Out of the two portals came a horde of small monsters
Two little gremlin kings and a small horde of followers
They looked like armoured monkeys, not to big but mean and strong
All with stubby arms and pointed ears that were quite long

These little monsters would be cute if not for their nature
They’re a truly vicious and unrelenting creature
Though they’re classified as a relatively low threat
In a group, they’re just as annoying as monsters get

A gremlin who has recently evolved into a king
Still he seems to have more than a modest following
He’ll likely defer to the strong king when they meet
And cooperate to seek their enemies’ defeat

A rare example of a gremlin king who has been named
This occurs when a large enough area is claimed
Though most gremlins lack intelligence enough to speak
Kings make a great army through uniting of the weak
They counted two kings and at least three dozen followers
Though they weren’t strong on their own, those were scary numbers
Sky examined her own class and did the math quickly
But her guess was that a victory was not likely

Live to fight another day, sometimes retreating’s right
Just don’t make a habit of turning the other cheek
I didn’t sign up to watch a Berserker act so meek
Sky looked over to her friend and signalled a retreat
And right away the two of them turned sharply on their feet
But just as they were making plans to play it safe and leave
They saw something else that was harder still to believe

The leader of more gremlin grunts that is commonly scene
One of the strongest gremlin kings I have ever seen
He doesn’t rely much on magic, but his punch is strong
He leads by example as he moves his wars along
Right behind them had appeared a third portal somehow
They were surrounded by almost sixty gremlins now
Leaf and Sky were trapped with little hope of winning soon
Four portals had just opened in just one afternoon
Sky looked up hoping to find a route where she could fly
But the foliage was to dense to be worth a try
Likewise, Leaf was fast but all the gremlins blocked the way
There was nothing left for either of the friends to say
“Children, stay right there and don’t provoke the strongest king!”
Suddenly a voice cried out as they were panicking
They turned around to see that just beyond the goblin hordes
Two men were running to help them wielding two fine swords

Sky was quick to understand the best course the could take
But she didn’t have time to discuss the course she’d take
Leaf stood silently as Sky attacked a gremlin grunt
The gremlins are were caught off guard by the sudden affront

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Kernstalion
One release per week [Hiatus in November due to NaNoWriMo] [Changed the Summary based on reader feedback. Thanks guys!] When Mitchel gets a birthday gift from his girlfriend Sandra - a pre-order version of the newest VR game, he is thrilled. Real-life graphics, full-body senses, and a mysterious world that nobody knows anything about seem like a great way to escape real-life for a few months or longer. Two days later, his dreams of a pleasant pastime are shattered. After meeting a rude welcome-NPC, getting a weak starting body, and having a near-death experience, he finds himself sleeping on the ground, cold and filthy. Unable to log-out, he now has frightening dreams where the tutorial-AI is walking around in his body plotting Earth's conquest. If that isn't enough, he slowly realizes that the game might not actually be a game but that he could very well be in another world. Can Mitchel find out what is going on and where Sandra is? Can he regain his own body, and would he still want to when all is said and done? [The Story] What this story is: A LitRPG, portal-like, slow-moving story with a protagonist who has to balance crafting and 'magic' to survive. The books have a pre-thought-out plot and finish. Also, the world is harsh, and things don't always go the MC's way. What it is not: A drama, romance, grimdark, although these elements might appear. I've had some feedback that the intro seems to set up a very rough life for the MC. There is a reason for this, and I hope you give it a try beyond the first few chapters. Do note, this is not an unreasonably harsh novel.
