《Dead Earth Online》Chapter 10.5

Vehicles and Mounts
Of course you don’t want to spend all day hoofing it around on foot. You’d rather get to your destination, get your business done, and head home with your rewards without spending your time watching out for packs of wolves or random Wildmen. With a decent mount - or better yet a vehicle - you can leave most ordinary kinds of trouble behind while you speed away making rude gestures at it.
Horses
Horses can be had from any number of NPC traders, though they aren’t cheap, and you’ll pay for quality (think speed and stamina). You can also buy from other players by checking the market boards. If you’re feeling ambitious and don’t mind some serious travel you can head out into the wilds and break your own mount with the help of the local tribes (though they’ll have their own price for their assistance).
Motorcycles
Only slightly rarer and more expensive than Horses, a good bike is a solid investment that will make your life easier. Of course there aren’t any more factories, so you should count yourself lucky to get a Frankencycle. But with enough determination you might be able to piece together something more classic.
Cars and Trucks
Fuel or charge is precious and pricey, but for speed and protection combined, a rusty Subaru covered with welded metal plates is hard to beat, plus you can bring a bunch of your friends along for the ride. Or you might prefer the look of a gigantic mutant pickup belching black smoke as you mow down your enemies from the air-conditioned comfort of your cab - the choice is yours. With enough work, just like with the motorcycles, you might be able to reconstruct a real pre-War relic.
Military Vehicles
Light armor such as troop transports can be had - they’re not as fast or as efficient as a good truck, but you can’t beat them for protection and mobility for your whole party. Heavier and harder-hitting transportation can be found as well, but not without a lot of work or a lot of money. Or both.

Flying Vehicles
You’ll see gyrocopters in the sky once in a while. If you can manage to find a pilot they might be willing to share more information on how to enter their ranks, for a price. There are stories of other things being seen in the sky as well, but those are probably just crazy nonsense.
Unique Mounts
They’re rare, but you’ll see them now and then. How you obtain one is something you’ll have to learn on your own, but if you’ve ever wanted your own War Elephant, it can be done. Not easily, but it can be done. Keep your eyes open. You never know what opportunities might show up as possible quest rewards. Spend some time talking to the NPCs. It might be worthwhile. Of course a lot of things can be had from other players on the market boards, if you're wealthy enough.

Abyssal Road Trip
Julia is a practical person. All she wanted was a home and family to call her own, a small piece of the world she could say was hers.Instead of arriving home one evening, Julia finds herself in the Abyss. Now she's not only far from home, she's trapped inside a cursed body. The curse may have caught her, but she certainly wouldn't let it or anyone else tell her how she has to live. It's not a hero that you have to watch out for, it's the practical person when you're in the way of their freedom. Hell is a place for the organised torment of the guilty in life while the Abyss is its sociopathic disorganised cousin.There’s darkness in the Abyss, and darkness within her that might draw it in. But she'll need to risk its strength, for to get out, she'll need to become strong enough to descend to its deepest reaches. Yet it's in those places that the most dangerous secrets lie in wait. These aren’t the type of secrets that are valuable, or that anyone wants to be found. These secrets destroy. Image by Comfreak from Pixabay This is my first story, and a work in progress. Feel free to point out any errors, and I will gladly fix them. The ending and the major plot points are all planned out. Julia's story is more of a slow burn, and she won't always be in trouble. There will be breathers between the action. Though the story is about Julia, she is not the only force in play. Her actions will affect others, and the actions of others will affect her as well. Chapter Releases presently on Tuesday and Friday - 18:30 Sydney Time (AEST)
8 130A Sorcerer's Footsteps
The mind maggots have hatched. Their little honey-coated silver tongues whispered sweet, sweet lovelies into their fleshy hosts. Only whispers though, only ever whispers and nothing more... To utter a single syllable just the tiniest bit too loud would surely frenzy their new homes, stopping them from performing their cattle-like tasks. Only one remained unnoticed by the charismatic boat flies that swarmed the lands, unseen by the eye's of nobles and peasants alike. An arcane apprentice, who mere months away from graduating to a fully-fledged magician of the empire. Without any idea as to why he was spared from the telepathic tongues of swarm, or even how they even came to be, he marches on. Forced to wander a world alone. Armed with nothing but a few spells, a gnawing feeling of hopelessness, and bushel of apples.
