《Binary Progression》Volume 4 - Chapter 41: The Lorb Special!
Advertisement
Satan stood in the corner of the room, hunched over holding a shaky camera, across the couch sat the confused looking Lorb.
In the distance, a fireplace crackled, a few bookshelves stood along the red walls in the poorly lit room.
"Dude... what's your problem?" asked Lorb.
"Your special,"
"I may be, but that's not relevant," Lorb replied coldly.
"I'm recording your special, you're one of the winners of the beach-episode poll," Satan exclaimed.
"With this special camera! It can change the point-of-view of a chapter, pretty cool, eh?"
"..."
"Oh shit! People actually voted for me!?" Lorb asked in amazement.
"Yeah, I mean... the dog has you beat, but still!" exclaimed Satan.
"Still, why are you doing the special?" asked Lorb.
"You see, I've made a metaphorical deal with the devil with MrBadWithNames!" Satan exclaimed smugly.
"What?! What could you possibly want, you're literally a god!" Lorb demanded crossing his arms.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." Satan waved his finger before Lorb.
"Isn't it obvious? Screentime!" he replied.
Lorb let out a long sigh as Satan have the camera a thumbs up.
"So, tell us about yourself, Lorb!" Satan instructed placing his right eye to the camera.
"Ehh... I'm Lorb... I'm around thirty years old... and... uhhh..." he shrugged.
"Lorb! This isn't an AA meeting! GIVE ME SOME PASSION!" Satan exclaimed.
"What do you mean? Is my special a QnA?" asked Lorb.
"Perhaps..." Satan replied.
"Don't worry, I have a plan for later!" Satan assured Lorb.
"Fine just ask me a question already!" Lorb demanded.
Satan rolled his eyes.
"Alright! Question one!"
"A very popular question in the isekai-land directed at you is...-" Satan cleared his throat.
"AAH! OH GOD WHY?!"

"Pass..." Lorb said lazily.
"Alright! Question two, where are the other scientists?" asked Satan.
"Dead," Lorb replied.
Satan sat down on the carpeted ground crosslegged.
"Ok... how about you tell us about how the two of us met!" Satan offered.
"Pass..." Lorb shrugged.
"Then I will tell the tale of-" Satan was cut off.
"ALRIGHT! I'll tell them!"
Lorb cleared his throat and looked into the camera.
"I entered this universe with no idea where to go from here, Satan's universe was next-door so he visited me and helped me make this world, that's all," he explained.
"That's not all..." Satan said in a teasing voice.
Lorb sighed.
"And he helped me destroy the ruins of the last inhabitants of this universe before I build my one over it," he relented.
"That's right!" Satan said shooting Lorb finger pistols.
"Question three, why would you not visit the world you made?"
"Ehh... well, right now the world is all about developing civilization and whatnot, kind of boring is you ask me," he explained.
"I might drop an OC into the world in the future to screw around, maybe act as a villain for fun or maybe a hero," he shrugged.
"Question four, is it true that your design is just a less traumatized Kevin?"
"Pass."
"You can't pass every question!"
"Watch me! Pass!"
Satan let out a sigh as he scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "Let's see..."
"I have a pie-eating contest planned!" Satan exclaimed looking over to Lorb.
"..." Lorb looked at him with a look clearly stating he wasn't interested.
"..."
"..."
"Come on, work with me, man!" Satan pleaded placing his palms together as if he was praying.

"Dude! Cut it out!" Lorb exclaimed.
Satan crawled over to Lorb, grabbing onto his leg.
"Don't do this to me, man, this is my only shot at getting any screen time!"
Lorb looked down and the pitiful sight and began shaking his leg to get Satan off.
"LET GO! You're getting snot and tears on my trousers!"
"C-Come on bro! We're friends, right?! I just want to show I'm not actually all that bad!"
"Right now you're looking pathetic, not evil, so let go!" Lorb exclaimed kicking satan aside.
In the struggle Satan's camera flew out of his hands, flying onto the ground and craking.
"NOOOO!" cried Satan as he fell to his knees before the corpse of his camera.
"It was innocent!" he said through tears.
Lorb averted his eyes as the sudden feeling of guilt set in.
Reluctantly, Satan stood up, wiping his face with his black hoodie, "Guess that's that..." he said not looking at Lorb as he headed towards the exit.
Lorb let out a sigh upon seeing Satan leave.
"Of course he made a mess before leaving..." Lorb remarked looking at the broken camera on his floor.
He leaned back on his couch, laying on his side and reaching for the now cold pizza left from when Foxly was in the isekai room.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Lorb wanted the focus of this chapter to shift from him.
"Asshole..." Lorb commented.
A few minutes later he stood up from his couch and with the loudest sigh ever known to man, headed towards his door.
He opened it and found himself in a long hallway stretching endlessly in every direction, opposite his wooden door was a blood-red door with a heart with Sat + Lil carved inside.
Reluctantly, Lorb knocked on the door.
Satan opened the door moments later, he stood there in his usual hoodie but instead of trousers he wore shorts, he held a box of icecream in his right arm.
"Oh, Lorb, I didn't expect to see you this unspecified amount of time later..." Satan remarked.
"I've changed my mind, we can do you stupid special chapter..." Lorb exclaimed visibly red-faced.
Satan's face lit up.
"Seriously?!"
"Yeah..."
Lorb was dragged into hell by the hand where Satan spontaneously created a massive table of pies.
"Alright, just eat as many as you can in ten minutes!" Satan exclaimed.
Lorb walked over to the table and began eating as fast as he could.
"While Lorb eats the pies, I will list off interesting facts about Egyptian mythology!" Satan exclaimed doing his best to keep the spotlight on himself.
Lorb consumed a blueberry pie, he was taking his time as Satan started talking.
"The 'Abyss of water' is one of many parts of the 'journey of Ra', where they sail down a river on a boat, they are looked down on by dozens of unknown gods, there are shrines we don't know the purpose of and a massive fucking lion!"
Full, Lorb stopped eating pies and listened to more facts provided by Satan.
"Ra is dead."
"What?" asked Lorb.
"Yeah, Ra is like... dead, they have to resurrect him every day!" Satan exclaimed.
"Huh..."
"Well, this turned into more of a Satan special..." Lorb thought.
Satan burst into laughter.
"Oh! how about we move onto the next stage! The super-smash-hoes tournament!" he exclaimed excitedly.
"...I guess I'll let him have the special..." thought Lorb.

[HIATUS] Re:Turn, The Legend of the 4 Swords
Hiatus Note: Currently on planned hiatus while I finish planning the next section of the story to make sure I know where it's going. Chapter 10 will release soon, and 11 and beyond are ""Part 2"" of the story. In the meantime, check out "Clockwork" my other slice of life LN that I will update regularly. Cryo is an average 18 year old, just graduated high school and is transitioning into college. One notable factor about him is he is incredibly unlucky. Over the summer gets extremely invested in a gacha game known as “Ultima Online” and plays it every single day with his real life friends Gig, Yuso, and Shigeto. Cryo becomes a well-known member of the community because he uploads videos online and livestreams and is especially well-known because he almost never pulls good units from the gacha due to his terrible luck, which makes his anger fun to watch. One day, Admin (Administrators/Developers of the gacha game) send him an email inviting him to their facilities to tour them as a thank-you for making content for the game. On his way to the facilities Cryo stops at a gas station to get some snacks and the gas station is stuck-up by a robber. The robber takes a cute girl hostage and threatens to kill her, so Cryo steps in and bodyslams the robber, causing the robber to aimlessly shoot a bullet which bounces off a rubber tire, just when Cryo thinks he saved the day, the bullet hits him in the head with a lot of force, but not enough to kill him, putting him into a coma. Cryo is then transported to purgatory where a cute goddess decides his fate to be transported to a realm that needed help, promising Cryo if he found 4 legendary swords in this world he would gain re-admittance to the life he once lived. Before being transported to the world that needed assistance the goddess tells him that he can maximize any of his traits, procuring thought into whether Cryo should choose looks, strength, or another trait. After being reminded of his terrible luck in which a flashback to his family dying in a house fire is shown, he decides maximizing his luck trait should be the best choice. He is then transported into this new world, which turns out to be the world of his gacha game, Ultima Online. He meets friends and foes and is tasked with collecting 4 swords that appear as lolis to Cryo. Using the gacha system, he creates a party of strong allies to aid him on his quest to return.

Shattered Realms - A Pathfinder/D&D game
Broke adventurers looking for a quick and easy paycheck are thrust together as circumstances around them get weirder and weirder. Authors note: This is an ongoing Pathfinder (DnD) game, which will inevitably contain references to other works due to the nature of nerds. Chapters will be random lengths, mostly as long as a game session and depending on how much I can embelish it. Also, some details may change retroactively to maintain consistency. I'm not going to write it as LitRPG, mostly because that's extra work. I'd rather the flow of the story not be interrupted by numbers. I am aiming for updates within a week or two of the game session, which will usually be weekly. Finally, there is a light swearing, gore and sexual references warning. I will update this warning if needed, but will also not write in anything that's too graphic or irrelevant to the story.
