《Starcraft Unbound》Watching Mayhem - 6

-Mother-
My hands couldn't stop shaking. The, Thing, that had taken my boy from me had come to pay a visit. I allowed it into my home because I had no way to actually stop it. The keywords involved making sure my Damian would have a better chance at survival. It had spoken with me for an hour, detailing several ways I could help Damian. This included 'Item Packages' that could be sent through the mail when it fully opened up for Earths Residence through the System.
The fact this was a form of cheating was why I could never say it aloud outside of his presence. He said something about using the ten percent of the System dedicated to him to prevent eavesdropping from others of his kind. That part had confused me, but I understood now. At least a little, he was making things harder and more difficult to prepare my son for whatever he had planned. No matter what I asked he never elaborated, only gave me a set order to send each of those packages to Damian in a weeks time. In return, all the funding for them would be taken care of by him through more mundane means.
I took a shaking sip of my coffee, terrified about just what the Lumarian had planned for Damian. Looked at the headline for the muted news channel only made it more frightening. 'Africa purged of all Human life. Are we next?'
-Xal'gul-
Floating aimlessly in the oceans of this planet reminded me so of my home. I came here, the Atlantic they called it when I wished to think. To debate my choices, if they were truly for the best and not another odd setting that the System itself set in motion. It had done so before, according to records from others. Forging hope before allowing it to be crushed. It had become a bit of a philosophical debate among my kind, what remained of us, exactly why it did this. We learned that trying to discern the motivations of the System, a literal God, were beyond us. Still, we tried though.

I had taken a risk by going to see the Mother and grant her the knowledge she would need to increase the chances of the 'Hero' surviving. There were other seedlings that would be nurtured from my section of Earth, of course, one could never use a single arrow. The problem lay in I could not force another into the Hell difficulty set to periodically increase as I did with Damian. In time it would become something worse than Hell...I would have to hope the little Human was prepared for the Systems true nature. Until then I would continue with my plan. More so now than ever, the Ixian was coming. His impending arrival was against all recorded knowledge of his movements. It had to do with either a desire to consume more of my kind or to rid another planet of the Human-like creatures his people had once hunted to extinction on his own planet, long since destroyed by his own hand.
Ultimately it didn't matter though. Time was needed now, to by that time I would be the first to begin purging sections of Earth. I'd guided a younger of my kind in charge of the place known as Africa into purging all Human life from the continent. The animals 'below' them were more interested and allowed to leave. Another part to the plan, a more far-reaching one. It would appease the Ixian to a degree though, so I hoped.
Time was running out. Things needed to move more quickly on my end. I could only ensure so much though. It was on the Human I had made my Champion for now. As so much else was.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

8 127Ascension
Before the age of men, there was the age of gods, or some say immortals. Not many know for sure what these beings are due to the lack of information and contact. Only one thing is certain these so-called immortals or gods are beings that we cannot comprehend due to our capacity for knowledge there seems to be a barrier that separates us from the so-called gods. Humanity has always been a pitiful existence, we can never be at peace always in conflict both internally and externally, thus causing us to be stagnant in terms of evolution as a species. Liu Feng was raised by humanity but he is not of the human species, follow him on his journey as he finds his origin while struggling with his inner identity.
8 128T.R.E.E.S.E.K.A.I.
Get hit by a truck, die, get reborn, the same old. But what happens when you're reborn as a tree? T.R.E.E.S.E.K.A.I. follows the story of a dryad in a frontier town, watching civilizations get born, thrive, and die on her roots, under her branches.This is more of an ongoing scratchpad of writing experimentation rather than a cohesive narrative so I might do weird things with it from time to time.
8 146G Herbo Imagines
This is for anyone who loves/likes G Herbo. Most of the stories will probably in 3rd person because it's just easier. Yes, this is a Fluff. Also, in this book, "Herbert" will be used frequently in the book. It is G Herbo's real first name btw :)
