《Greenskin》Chapter 5 - The Fall
Advertisement
Steal howled in anger and terror. The goblin that he had relied on and thought to be much stronger than him had fallen so easily. For a moment, the pot-bellied little creature considered running, fleeing as quickly and swiftly as he could manage. If it were not for his previous failed attempt, he most certainly would have ran for his life; but he was smart enough to notice the leather-clad man was far faster than his previous pursuer and if he ran, he would most certainly die like the rest of his kin.
With his mind made up, the desperate goblin dived for Blud's blade as it clattered on the stone floor, just as his crooked fingers latched around the sword's hilt, he was swept off his feet, a muscular, strong hand had wrapped around his ankle and dragged him down in a swift, jerky movement.
Steal swung his weapon in a wide arc down at his attacker's arm; as luck would have it, the rogue was slightly dizzy from having crashed against the ground and was slower in his movements than before. His foe used his other arm to try and parry with yet another of his many daggers and knives, metal clashed and the goblin's shortsword pushed the dagger back a bit, slipping down the small blade and barely cutting into the rogue's forearm.
You have dealt 7 Slashing damage
Blood spilt onto the grey stone. The strong fingers that so firmly grasped his ankle weakened for a moment and Steal jerked himself free, it was a shame that the rogue acted just as fast as the goblin. The leather-clad killer leapt from his feet and dove for Steal, another dagger had been drawn from his belt and he lunged, both daggers arced downwards towards the exposed flesh of the creatures stomach. Another howl, a thin 'X' was carved into the goblin's chest and it fell to the ground, limp, still grasping it's ill-used blade.

Richard looked down at his most recent kills. The little buggers had put up more of a fight than the rest, but they were still easy pickings nonetheless. The human stood up straight and murmured a single word under his breath. "Status"
STATUS General Attributes Jobs/Classes Name Richard Stroker STR 16 Human (Bruman) 6 317/760 XP Race Human DEX 18 Rogue 4 21/338 XP Age 22 Years Old AGI 14 HP 57/64 (+1.6/m) FRT 16 MP 44/44 (+1.0/m) INT 16 Affiliation Adventurer Guild (Veera) WIS 14
The victorious rogue looked quizzically at his XP for a moment, it seemed like he should have gotten a little bit more experience for killing the two goblins, nevertheless, there was nothing he could do about it now. Richard took a step or two away from the goblin as he went to pick up the flasks that were holstered in his sliced off belt, it wouldn't be wise to leave his health potions behind.

An Id of Primal Chaos
TAG DISCLAIMER: The tags 'Portal Fantasy / isekai', 'High Fantasy', and 'Non-Human Lead' do not take place until later on in the novel. Probably mid-way through the first volume. The 'villainous lead' tag is a very loose tag. Some of the things the mc does can be considered villainous to those with a staunch moral code, however, I have not made the mc out to be overtly villainous. True Title: Advent of the Silent Storm (I came up with the original title a while ago, before I had even written a single chapter. It still kind of fits but this new title fits a lot better. I would change it but I don't know if it would screw up the recommendation algorithm.) Excerpt: My mind wanders through the soup of unconsciousness, still startlingly awake despite my physical form’s stasis. Electricity completely paralyzes the air around me and lightning flashes in a constant strobe of blinding light. The ground, thousands of feet below my being has been wiped clean of all manmade artifice and natural beauty; leveled, through absolute power. My power. Synopsis: Tetal Faelen, a very successful businessman with lofty goals, is introduced to an omniscient being through less than pleasant means. This being has an irresistible offer for Tetal with next to no downside. Tetal can’t help but wonder, “What’s the catch?” Additional Notes: Second novel I have started within the Web of Interconnected Realities. My other novel is not posted on this site so don't bother looking for it. I might post it here in the future.

A Girl and her Goat
Chloe Yinara, she’s a countess, she expects to be a marquis in due time, she’s a mage, and she’s staring at a black goat that appeared in the summoning circle when she called for a familiar and took more power to summon then she could have possibly provided on her own. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ There has been a major edit of the first 11 chapters, so anyone who enjoyed the story but couldn't take the spellchecker and other grammar mistakes should give this another shot. I can’t promise that there will be no grammar mistakes, but they will be less common and far less egregious. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ Notes. First for those of you looking at the fact that this story has both the Harem and Female Lead tags I am pleased to relieve your concerns, or disappointed to inform you depending on your tastes, this will not be a reverse harem, Chloe has no romantic interest in boys. Second, I was hesitant to add the Anti-Hero tag, but Chloe certainly dances on that line. Just to prevent any misunderstandings, even when blood and treachery abound and Chloe is at her most amoral this will primarily be a light hearted story.
