He has proven in his young life that he is prepared
To deliver messages where few have ever dared

There are few as proud as what they’ve done as an envoy
Roy has been delivering things since he was a boy
No monster has ever stopped his quest along the way
With his stamina he can keep going night and day
Everybody, young and old, was gathered in the square
The messengers had come to speak to everybody there
Ignoring all the damage in the little town they’d found
One messenger spoke with a booming voice that would resound
“Subjects of our noble kingdom, we are here today
Sharing the decree of our king, whom you must obey
As you know, the kingdom has seen peace for many years
But the gods have brought to light a number of new fears
It’s come to our attention that a boy is living here
Who has seen System Messages, which so rarely appear
You must bring him to us by the order of the king
We must bring the boy back with us now for questioning”
Log knew what what happen, but he could act in time
Even though they all knew to resist would be a crime
“I will never give my son to you or anyone
Get the heck out of my village, your job here is done”

Half the village rolled their eyes, her words were expected
But these messengers made it clear, the would be respected
Roy came forward right away to put her in her place
But he was greeted with one of Log’s big fists in his face
Both the envoys were surprised at what had just occurred
Especially the one upon the ground, whose voice was heard
“Do you dare assault an envoy sent here by your king?”
He stopped talking when he noticed his nose was bleeding
Log stepped forward and offered the messenger a hand
Roy was shocked but took the big man’s help to slowly stand
“I guess they don’t teach city boys the appraisal skill
If you need someone to show you how, I gladly will”
Roy held his nose firmly while is colleague looked in awe
They boy used their appraisal skills and gawked at what they saw
As they looked around with the skill, everybody smiled
Compared to their stats, his looked like they belonged to a child

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
