《Doom Guy Isekai》Chapter Twelve: Doomprovements
Advertisement
On their way back to the cave, the soldier was almost happy. For the most part, at least. There was still an undercurrent of rage carefully simmering far beneath the emotionless veneer his helmet provided, but it was far better to be exterminating races that wanted him dead with the albeit marginal assistance of someone else.
Pausing for a moment, he turned sideways, and Aliss ground to a halt. "Doom? What is it?"
One of the smaller demons sprang out from a window, teeth bared and claws extended. The soldier didn't bother with any firearms. He reached up, grabbed the demon by its horns and by its waist, and then pulled it in half with a loud squelch.
Turning back around, he was mildly startled to see a morbidly excited expression on Aliss' face, one which she blinked away with no small amount of embarrassment, putting her heavily gauntleted hands over her rapidly reddening face. "I'm so sorry! That was not an appropriate response to seeing something that gruesome!"
Giving her a shrug, the soldier continued on, but was interrupted by a blue board.
The soldier sensed a strange glow as his armor lit up, the seams and cracks shining like molten lava. Slowly growing a bit, the soldier ended up around seven feet tall, a good six inches taller than Aliss, and his armor had darkened. Raising a gauntlet, he examined it carefully. He'd had his suit for... well, a decade at the very least, and he'd grown extremely attached to it. Almost literally.
The blue board showed up next, and he squinted at it.
Doomblade>
This eternally sharp sword is permanently mounted to your left forearm and is both sharp enough and tough enough to cut through even the worst demon's hide like a bullet through rice paper. It will not stop, will not cease, and will likely end the lives of every enemy within its reach.

War Grapple>
This cabled and fabled projectile is mounted to your right arm, and can be launched via the specialized attachment included with this perk. Its spikes are strong enough to punch through the toughest materials, and the cable is more than capable of supporting both your weight and any elephants you might bring along.
The soldier examined the two Perks thoughtfully. He could think of a variety of uses for both, but which one would be more advantageous?
He could use the blade for close quarters to devastating effect, he was sure of it. He could always tear his enemies in half bare-handed, but that took time that he could be better spending turning faces into craters. The sword would definitely speed up the close-range process.
On the other hand, the grapple would be a powerful mobility option, and he could almost see using it to get up close and personal with the heads of the larger demons, specifically the twenty-foot fleshy ones. A shotgun would pair with both quite well.
Making a decision, he punched both of them at the same time, and the board flickered uncertainly.
He punched them again, and the corners of the board glitched in a panic.
Flexing his hands, the soldier firmly placed his palms on the options, and the board gave way.
Both of the soldier's arms lit up with the volcanic glow, metal distorting and forming into two stubby shapes on his forearms. With a grin, the soldier raised one arm and squeezed his fist, and a dual-edged blade four feet long sprang from his left forearm. Relaxing his grip, the blade retracted, and the soldier once again wished he could laugh. He didn't want to try the grapple in such close quarters, though.
Explosive Munitions>
Ever wanted to see what would happen if you shoved a few packages of highly concentrated explosives down a golem's throat? Well, now you can with the Explosive Munitions Perk! Summon any and all kinds of hand grenades, trip mines, landmines, claymores, and who the heck cares what else. Blow it all to smithereens for all you care.

Boosted Physique>
Ever felt like you weren't strong enough? Fast enough? Tough enough? That ends today (assuming you pick this Perk)! This Perk will enhance the physical stat gains you receive from leveling up by 25%, which will result in a total stat gain of 25 points per level!
The soldier rubbed his helmeted chin thoughtfully, then smashed his fists on both options. This time, however, the boards flickered and then disappeared, replaced by a purple one.
Shrugging, the soldier selected the Explosive Munitions Perk. He'd had a feeling it wouldn't have worked twice, and it was significantly harder to threaten something with the genuine, bone-rattling fury simmering inside him when the target was actually being incredibly helpful.
The boards flickered out of sight, and the soldier felt a small amount of knowledge flood into his mind. Glancing down, he raised a hand, and a standard frag grenade appeared in his palm.
Looking around, he pulled the pin. There was really no reason for him to cause any further damage at this point, but it was a grenade. What else was he supposed to do with it? Not blow something up?
Tossing it through a window, the soldier waited for a short moment, and Aliss frowned. "What was that? Why did you toss that ball into the-"
All of the windows on the building blew out as the majority of the top floor was decimated, the shingles on the roof coming loose and raining down in a sharp hail of rock.
The soldier grinned even wider.
There were a lot of things he could do with a few grenades. Creative things. Strategic things. Things that would make even the toughest, biggest demons he'd seen in this Hell cry for their mothers, if they had any.
This was how someone like the soldier could have fun.

VOID EMPIRE: IMPERIAL MAGE
Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. The exalted mage lords of the Empire have ruled for over two thousand years. Keeping the Empire safe from the tribes of beast kin and the void monsters that break into reality. A world on the edge of the great universal tree, a bastion against the ever-encroaching void. The realm of the dead and souls is far. The touch of the Gods and Goddesses is faint and growing weaker. This is a Litrpg / Gamelit where I am seeking to explore the idea where an Empire like Rome made it to the Edwardian/Victorian period. With all the decadence and kinky/bdsm stuff, Rome was known for, intact and evolved. Think pride and prejudice but the complete opposite of prudish. This story contains explicit scenes. This is not a collect slave women to bang story. This is not an endless struggle grind. The character is OP. The character is figuring out how to adapt his power to the world. Last, I will point out, glass is five hundred time sharper than steel and can be sharpened down to just a single atom in thickness. Please leave a review and rating as it helps me improve my writing. Feedback is always appreciated; I hope you enjoy. I am working on my grammar as well and hopefully it will improve, through editing. As It has never been a strong suit of mine. chapters Sat 7 pm... until the series is complete.

They Are Our Smols
You’ve read They Are Smol. You’ve enjoyed They Are Smol (if you haven’t, well, prepare to not enjoy this one either). But this is smols like you’ve not seen them before. This is extreme smolness with a lemon twist: smols fucked up big time in this one, and Earth, well… Earth is empty of smols. At least the ayys hope so, because it’s fallout time back there. The ones that got away — and let’s face it, it was all of them that were left — had no place to go. Homeless, smol and needing protectings, they were taken in. For the lucky ayys out there, they’re our smols. This is a not-so-serious slice of life alternate universe where the entire population of Earth, what was left after the dead man’s switch was flipped and the nukes successfully irradiated the planet, were evacuated en masse and then taken in by the galactic civilization at large. I’ll probably write a few more in this silly, comfy alternate timeline to expand on what’s different, but don’t take it too seriously, okay? I do not take credit for the original setting, this story is set in an alternate version of the 'They are Smol' universe, written by the one, the only u/tinyprancinghorse.TPH takes many forms and is known by many names. He is like Nyarlathotep, only smaller and cuter and more prancey. TPH also has a Website and a Patreon.

The Cursed Imperial Heart
In a world divided into different social classes, a nameless girl starts her journey rather tiring than most kids. Abandoned by her parents, she became a servant at a very young age to a wealthy noble family--the Brotillon, a family of powerful water elementals. Whose head is a well known Viscount. Though the girl was born with shiny brown hair and sparkling brown eyes, it was for that reason that she became a laughing stock to those around her. With no one to turn to for support, she swore to learn how to use magic no matter what! But as each day goes by, the beatings and humiliation got worse and worse. Finally had enough, she lashed out screaming! Done with the world she lived in! Done with her life! Only to faint out of exhaustion afterwards. Upon opening her eyes, she expected nothing more than an empty room with no one inside but her. However, it was the opposite! A room full off doctors and worried faces?! Indeed, she must have hit her head so hard when she fainted! She's probably just hallucinating, right?! But to her shock, it was all real! The Viscount who constantly beat her, patted her on the head?! The mistress who ridiculed her every chance she got, was worried?! Not just that, but----CRYING?! This continued for the next few weeks, and it looked like the 'situation' won't be stopping anytime soon. But she of all people knew, that it was all an act. But the question is, why? She screamed and lashed out at them, so why? Or perhaps, what she really needs to be asking are.... What REALLY happened before she fainted? What are they hiding from her? And lastly, Why are they suddenly interested in her eyes?
