'The time limit is Undefined, but I know that I have less than four days since the first person reached level 4 on the 4th day. If he gets to level 5 before me, I would fail.' Ryder thought as he wondered about the mission.
"Hey, can you drop me at 52nd Street instead?" He told the driver.
"Sure." He didn't say anything as he took a U-turn and changed the direction.
It took him only around 10 minutes to drop him at 52nd Street.
Ryder had his phone with him and made the e-payment for the cab. Max drove away after wishing Ryder a good day.
Ryder walked for a few blocks before he was able to see a line of people in front of a shop. Thankfully, there were only 50 or so people in the line. He sighed in relief as he wasn't too late.
He hurriedly walked forth and stood in the line.
'Oh man, I forgot to bring food. It's going to be tough staying here for hours. I haven't even had breakfast' He suddenly realized as his stomach started making a noise. It was to be expected after the extensive exercise he went through last night.
"Fine. I'll order something." He muttered as he brought his phone out and placed an order from the nearby shop, and asked them to deliver it to him.
Although they charged more for the delivery, he had no other choice as he was quite hungry.
He ordered two burgers and a coke. He knew that it was unhealthy, but he liked what he liked. He felt like there was nothing he could do about it.
It took around 20 minutes before the food was delivered to him. He started eating while he waited in the line.

"Bro, you didn't have breakfast before coming here either?" The guy standing in front of him turned back as he asked Ryder.
The man had French Fries in his hand that he was eating. He was somewhat short at 5 ft 5 inches and was a little fat, which looked even more distinct because of his short height.
"Yeah, I forgot to eat before I left. I was in a hurry." Ryder replied casually as he took a sip of his coke.
"Yeah, I can understand. I was in a hurry to stand in the line as well. I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to buy Divinity, or I wouldn't be able to forgive myself!" The man started laughing awkwardly as he replied to me.
"Oh, right, my name is Shu... what is yours?" He asked Ryder.
"I'm Ryder." He replied as he continued drinking.
Although he wasn't interested in talking to a stranger, the guy didn't look like a bad person either. Also, he had nothing to do but stand in the long line for a long time, either.
"We might meet in the Divinity and go on missions together as well. What username will you play with?" He asked Ryder.
"I use Hades in all my games, you?" Ryder told him.
"I'm Big Daddy! My name is constant in all my games as well." He excitedly replied with a smile.
"Big Daddy? That's... That's an interesting name you got there."
Ryder wanted to laugh out loud, but he tried his best to control his laughter so that he doesn't hurt his feelings. That name... It was really too interesting.
Reward: 5 origin points.
Punishment for failure: Deduction of 10 origin points.
Time limit: 10 hours>

Janus' voice again appeared in his head.
'Another mission... I was wondering when Janus would give me a mission. But what is this mission about? Protect the fatty from being taken advantage of? Who is he talking about?' Ryder started wondering about the mission.
'Wait a minute. Janus, are you calling Shu fatty? You're so cruel. Anyways which girl? There are no girls here?' He called out Janus in his mind.
Janus replied to him in an emotionless tone.
'You always find ways to blame me.' Ryder said with a wry smile on his face.
'Hey, you didn't tell me about the girl! Which girl do I need to protect him from? There are no girls here!' He suddenly remembered that Janus didn't even answer his main question.
Unfortunately, Janus didn't reply.
Ryder wanted to curse Janus, but he stopped himself as he realized that Janus could read his thoughts anyway. He thought that Janus must know what he wanted to call him anyway, so he didn't need to waste his breath on him.
Another hour passed away in the blink of an eye as he stayed in the line, but he saw not even a glimpse of any woman.
"Hey fa... ahm I mean Shu, Do you have a girlfriend? Or is there a girl troubling you?" He decided to ask Shu straight away.
'Oh god, I almost called him fatty as well.' He thought with a wry smile on his face.
"Hahaha… A girlfriend? You must be kidding me. Have you seen me? Do you really think that I can have a girlfriend? I'm a gamer, and my games are my girlfriends. No real girls allowed." Shu started laughing loudly as he heard his question.

Nowhere to Run
Nina is a young priestess that just started her journeys in the Highlands, in a faraway land. But everything falls apart when greater forces are scheming and unknown men are suddenly after her. She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.

Inside Metsys
Inside the universe of Metsys, life is chaotic, cruel and crazy. People with Stats have power and everyone wants to be a Player. Meet Corn, a slave who has no memory of most of his past and doesn’t know how most of the world functions. This doesn’t stop him from escaping the bonds of slavery by risking his life on a gamble. After all, he would risk everything for freedom and the right to be a mage. But how’s a scrub to learn Magic and get power? Why, join the magical under belly of the city, of course. And eat all the mana that he can get. Two Disclaimers: 1) This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, organisations and everything else in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance between anything in this novel and the plane of reality we live in is purely coincidental. Was that a bit over the top and a wee bit unnecessary? Maybe. 2) This story features an antihero with a slight hint of villainy. So, sooner or later, it’s going to get dark. Very dark. Hence all the tags. If you are prone to be squeamish, this might not be for you. Well. You were warned. ;)
