I know, short chapter, but it let you peak at Luke future problems.
Yesterday i forgot to mention that the story finally got to more than a thousand views per chapter on average. So thanks to all of you, Readers!
The goblins were an issue even after several days and weeks had passed from The Beginning. The problem wasn’t their numbers as it was believed once, but the rate of spawning they had. Every city or settlement had to contend with at least thirty of the grey creatures everyday. Cities that controlled large areas may have to dispose of hundreds or thousands instead. It was a double-edged sword: at the same time it gave the opportunity to train and level up an increasing amount of people, but if you failed too many times, your base may be destroyed. It was also discovered that the greater the amount of goblins, the greater the possibilities of a stronger one showing up. There aren’t exact statics, though.
After the first appearance of this monster, the more organized structures and governments were confident in guns to solve their troubles. It didn’t work. When goblins amassed and enough shamans popped up, their magic could completely restrain humanity’s technology. And humans had no defense mechanism or strategy for the unconventional attacks that could be done with the help of Mana. It took some time to rethink schemes and calibrate tactics. In the end, mankind survived. However, the cost was high. The first day only, it is estimated that half of the world human population died. The successive days, a few more percents were lost. By the end of the week, less than a third remained.
Although animal type creatures appeared only a few hours after the goblins, they were mostly weak mobs (either because they were weak from the beginning or because they hadn’t developed their strength) that couldn’t compete with goblins. It took a week as a minimum for a balance to be reached. Goblins avoided the areas of stronger beasts, and those beasts struck only once in awhile to cull the horde before it could turn on them.

If the goblins were survived by those that deserved it (either by skill or luck), then the animals were a chance to grow stronger and feed the masses. Everyday several, increasingly stronger creature would be spotted showing how fast the curve was escalating. This planted the idea on all humans that they had to get as strong as fast as possible.
The situation changed when ten days had passed. Other races started to show up. They appeared near their natural environment: Dwarves, near mountains; Elves, depending their subraces (these hadn’t been documented, but we are aware of Forest Elves, Mountain Elves, High Elves and Dark Elves. The last two didn’t follow a rule to where they spawned. It is believed that High Elves appeared in places with high concentration of Mana and Dark Elves the opposite). Other races were orcs that didn’t have restrictions and a few giants that mostly occupied the areas near the poles.
The balance was again disrupted.

Of Frost and Steel
After being kicked out of home by her own parents, Emily found herself living in the house of an old woman while working as a plumber to help pay the bills. Her slightly unusual but still very normal life came to an abrupt end one day when an incoming car crashed into hers. When she next opened her eyes, she found no ambulance or hospital room waiting for her. What she found were instead the faces of beings much larger than her who were not entirely human, and the opportunity to live a new life, free of her old one. WARNING: This fiction is dedicated to a friend of mine who spent twelve years of her life hiding who she was because she feared the reaction of her family. For this reason it contains LGBT themes, although they won't be the sole or main focus of the story. The story contains sexual themes, but I will try to keep them to a minimum or make them "fade to black". Chapters will be around 1000 words long and without a fixed release schedule, for the moment.
8 193An Un-Ideal Eternity
An Un-Ideal Eternity is about a man named Desmond, who is killed, revived, and then finds himself immortal in a post-apocalyptic society. Just because it’s a society doesn’t mean that either he or “they” have to be civilized. And just because a gentleman has become immortal does not mean that he has no dangers to be wary of. The good news is that he’s been afforded some very kind and very generous ministrations from his future-self. The bad news is that all those efforts might still not be enough, to allow our hero, to live in as untroubled and as un-tumultuous a manner as he’d prefer.
8 100Chosen of Death
He was only following orders when he pressed the button, but things didn't go right, even when going right would have been a global apocalypse. Now, his fractured mind has been fed into a new reality where magic rules and gods play games. Blessed or cursed with powers he doesn't understand, his only hope is the woman who proclaims herself his servant. ***** NOTE: We are pretty much at the end of my buffer. I shall attempt a weekly update every Saturday. For those of you wondering, I am not dead, nor is this story.
