《Just a Rock》Chapter 55: Imperfection
Advertisement
In the morning, the rock found something had changed about the surroundings of this spot of origin. A rectangular prism had been erected a meter away, casting a shadow over the rock. A quarter of it had been sculpted into a rough face. It was quite skillfully done but the nose on the face had been unceremoniously chipped off and laid on the ground below.
At that point, the mystery sculptor appeared to have given up, either for the day or altogether. Even the tools used to make it so far sat at the foot of the prism. Rust appeared on them so they must have been there for awhile, or at least just for a rainy day. Who could have made such a thing?
More importantly, would it be considered a rock? Like it was a structure carved out from a quarry and made from limestone or perhaps marble, so it was made from rock, but was it itself considered as such or as a derived form was it its own thing? It really didn't matter in the end as it was unfinished and imperfect with the chipped nose. At the same time, the Rock had an imperfection of its own, a similar chip into its formerly perfect round shape.
No wait, it was an oval, a perfect oval. Shining like a gemstone but not good enough for a raccoon's taste. The chipped side faced the dirt beneath and became a favored place for the occasional beetle or a surfacing worm. It still served a purpose and was hidden from the outside world, a far better position than the unfinished statue.

I always wanted to be taken to another world, and as they say, there are no atheists in the foxhole that we call real life. I prayed, and prayed, and prayed until one day, I opened my eyes to see my dream had come true. I also saw the axe of an orc bearing down on my skull. You win some, you lose some. A time-loop fantasy story written after getting into litRPGs a bit. I wondered what it would be like if I just went and wrote a story about all the things I liked in web fiction without holding back: time loops, RPG stats, certain character archetypes, and harems played straight. Please be warned of lewd descriptions and depraved sexualization. If nothing else, this will be a sincere work.

When soul is lost between worlds, one race will do whatever it takes to retrieve it. Even if it means crashing these worlds together in a way the inhabitants of both could never expect. This soul would eventually develop into a human with immeasurable power...but this story isn't about him its about a young boy who was thrust into this whole mess before anyone, and has to figure out how to be strong enough not to repeat the future. ----- The paper read Humanity's last stronghold has been breached under the text a picture of what he recognized as New York, and above it an odd date. “December 8th 2028” Tomb mumbled to himself in shock, “what am i doing 6 years from the present” As if the man had supernatural powers, he heard Tom “Going insane from mana, you crazy mage did you just realise it only took us 3 years to pulverize you fools” the man maniacally laughed. Then turning towards the tall man, he got serious and said “Kanna, if you had just surrendered yourself at first we would have made this takeover much quicker, but you” the man seethed with anger “you fought back, nothing is worse than humans standing together.” The LIT RPG elements have been planned for the future and will not be the main focus but more will be written I assume around chapter 10
