“Do you want to try the tutorial? The tutorial will teach you the basics of your new world!
“Skip please.”
” Very well traveller”. The cute little girl made a light bow and snapped her fingers. The sound produced had an effect on the surrounding as everything began to blur.
‘What is going on?’ while Ryu was immersed in his thoughts, he noticed that the little girl was nowhere visible “Huh!! Where did she…….” before he could complete his sentence. The ground beneath him disappeared. Ryu panicked. He was now falling into a bottomless tunnel, at least that is how he felt. Fear began enveloping him. His normally smart brain had already forgotten the fact that everything around him was virtual.
‘Somebody help’. He was about to shout these words when he suddenly stopped falling. He could now feel a solid object beneath his feet. He opened his eyes to see what it was, and was delighted to see a ground covered with lush and green grass.
“I am never ever leaving you again” shouted Ryu, now lying down and hugging the ground rubbing his face on it. If he were to be seen by somebody else they would have surely taken him for freak.
Ryu got up on his legs after the excitement of ground faded away. His brain was back in function. He realized that the world around him was a game created world. He could not believe his own eyes. Surrounding him was a green and beautiful world; he could feel the wind, the sun’s rays, and the trees shade. While he was busy enjoying his new world, Ryu was disturbed by a strange sound and the appearance of some texted box in front of his eyes.
‘Trrrng’

‘Sweet! What is this turn of events? Am I a blessed creature?’ Shiv started laughing, more like roaring. He knew the importance of stats in this world. The online forums had stressed on the advantage of high stats and high levels. He was still laughing menacingly when he felt an acute pain on his right hand.
He lifted his hands to check the cause of the pain and was flabbergasted by what he saw. His right hand was glowing dimly; something was accumulating on the upper side of his hand stretching till his elbow.

‘What the heck! Am I dreaming? Is this some kind of prank?’ Shiv was now skeptical. He had just started and already received so many bonuses. ‘It’s not like I don’t want them, well whatever’.
‘Maybe I should check out my status once. Now how was it’, “err, open status bar”

‘Awesome. I’m the man’, Shiv admired himself. He then started looking around and something grabbed his attention.
‘Wow! What is that?’ a little close to where Shiv was, a disturbingly tall building could be seen. The building appeared black, in fact too black. It had an eerie feel to it and Shiv felt a ‘do not come near’ kind of aura from the building. ‘Is that a tomb or something? Maybe this is why there are no monsters nearby’. He had been wondering why he had not been attacked yet, he knew that at his present condition he was easy prey.’ Well I don’t see any other buildings around, guess I might as well pay it a visit’.
Shiv idly began walking on the paved road, towards the mysterious building in front.

“The gods have sent their chosen one, Gehambel” spoke an old woman.
“Not yet oh great Briskol, sage of the twilight” spoke an old man with a large stature.
“I agree. He must prove himself. He must know true evil and despair and then pass the test”, a much younger person spoke, but the voice was that of a lady.
“Very well. We shall wait”, replied Briskol.
The three were gazing at a small pool and in that clear liquid Shiv’s face was being reflected.

8 584Reaching for One's Desire: Kane's Ascension
After living most of his life as a worthless orphan, Michael Kane only desired for the chance to make something of himself in this world of monsters and magic. In a world where only wealth and power mattered, he was literally at the bottom of the food chain. He fucking hated it. Always having felt that he was destined for something greater than what was essentially a beggar’s life, Michael held hope that things would change with the arrival of the Day of Gaia’s Gift, which happened exactly halfway through the year. It was the day in which everyone that was fifteen years old was given access to the System and was given a ‘Class’ depending on your aptitude, two if you were exceptional and lucky. It was his hope that he was given at least one class worthy of becoming an Adventurer, which would help him start his path to a life of wealth, fame, luxury and pleasure. Being an orphan that never knew his parents and having no one that he cared for nor that cared for him, it was not surprising that these were Michael’s goals. Little does he know, that he is destined for even greater things.

8 334Dark Winter
It is always darkest before the dawn. After the divorce, Katie Fox was forced to live with her mother in New York after the judge ruled that her father, a former Army Ranger, wasn’t stable enough. They called him ‘that crazy bunker guy’ or ‘that paranoid freak.’ Whatever they called him, Christopher Fox was a Prepper. He taught those willing to listen how to survive in a catastrophe and how to prepare for the end of the world. More than that though, he was her father and she would rather spend her life in his underground bunker than another minute in that New York highrise. So, she ran away. The date is November 28th, Black Friday and hell has been unleashed on the world. A freak storm mixes with a deadly virus that turns its victims into mindless hunters of flesh. Katie will have to use everything her father taught her to survive and reach the safety of his underground bunker. Note from the author: Thanks for stopping by! The plan is to upload a chapter every Saturday or Sunday (as my schedule allows). Hope you enjoy the story!
8 163The Egg Guardian
First and foremost, I must apologize as this story is currently on an indefinite hiatus. School, my main project, and writer's block have gotten in the way. I was rather unprepared when I began posting this and kind of just did it on a whim. Thus, I shall ensure I am thoroughly prepared before posting anything else, but I plan to return to this someday to conitnue it. What better retirement plan for a scumbag than to become a demon? Whether he likes it or not, that's Berrick's only choice. Heaven thinks hell is getting a little lukewarm and Berrick is just the guy to heat things up again. Follow Berrick as he works for home and hell as one of the few Egg Guardians. Author's note: Are you looking for bad writing, terrible dialogue, short chapters, and slow releases? Then you've come to the right place! This is honestly just something I'm writing for fun and figured I'd publish while I'm working on my main project, but I always appreciate constructive criticism so I can improve.
