《God Is A Game Designer》C8 - Total Victory
Advertisement
The backlash of wind flowed over the battlefield, sweeping up the sides of the cliffs. The guards stationed against the barricades braced themselves, each of them stunned, as they watched a large figure roll off his mount, slamming into the soldiers below with a splat. Blood could be seen squirting out like water from a balloon, leaving each of them feeling horrified, but slightly relieved and impressed that this man was on their side of the battlefield.
Feya watched in stunned silence as she saw the mood on the battlefield change in an instant. She could perceive the moral of the groups. Her side had been outmatched in all aspects until this man appeared. With only one shot he reversed the entire situation, changing everyone's future with a single bolt, shining brightly to lead them to victory.
"Are you a god?"
She muttered this quietly, as she was stunned. The war-dancer, Kai, had shown respect, and now Feya understood why. She felt her knees wobbling as she looked over to the army, hearing a man screaming on the other side. She even felt glee as she watched the general's staff cowering behind the slave women and furniture, fear spreading among the ranks of those in command, which would soon spread to the soldiers.
That glee soon turned into a bottomless pit in her stomach, as she watched the enemies knock their thousands of bows and start to aim. Their actions were unexpected. She’d assumed they would be captured, rather than killed, but due to the Archbishop’s death, it seemed the plans had changed.
"Well fuck me," she muttered, as she looked around at her soldiers, quickly raising her voice to them.
"Stop gawking and raise the shields! Hide behind the barricade!” She stopped for a moment, realizing that the strange man hadn’t moved a muscle, she screamed at him. “I don’t know who you are, but put your head down!"
Nathan looked at her with a serene ambience, power leaking from him as he just shook his head.

"Hide away like scared children. With my power, how could I let these ants intimidate me?!"
Two Minutes Earlier - Nathan POV
Nathan had watched this entire event unfold. He was even laughing inside as he watched the fat bishop roll off his platform like a bowling ball, the troops below as the pins.
'Strike!' he screamed in his mind before he heard the system start to ping him.

He noticed the massive increase in points. He would soon have enough to purchase some extra items. It seemed the system was rather generous compared to his older system, which gave him some indication that something had changed.
"Better farm for some more easy points."
He watched everyone panic around him, and heard the shrill command from the woman next to him. Nathan would not run away when he had some points to earn from this new system!

"Hide away like scared children. With my power, how could I let these ants intimidate me?!"
He held up his hand, activating his power as he began to spread his influence through the air in front of him. Sweat plastered his brow, as this power was still new to him, causing some discomfort as the arrows flew.
Thousands of arrows hung in the air, as though frozen in time. More arrows soon followed suit as the archers loosed more and more. It took several volleys before the archers stopped, noticing the terrible situation before them.
"You all dare to fight against a god?!"he shouted with divine conviction, everyone flinching as they heard this word, pulling away.
He listened to a few of the soldiers below starting to scream and run, pushing each other down as it became a panicked rampage to flee.
"Receive your gift. It’s time to enter my domain!"
System: Godly Act - Faith increase by 50
System: Godly Act - Faith increase by 25
System: Godly Act - Faith increase by 25
He grinned at the small increase. This was not even the start of his power. He exercised his ability, and each arrow turned in mid-air, aiming back at the senders. By that point, even the archers in the back began to sweat as they joined in the chaos, fleeing as fast as they could.
Time resumed as the arrows were flung back towards the archers, soaring through the air like bolts of light as screams echoed across the battlefield. Thousands of bolts landed simultaneously into the mass of fleeing bodies, and waves upon waves of soldiers crumpled to the dirt below, each one crying out in a despair.
System: Broken an enemy force - Faith Increase by 1000
System: Godly Act - Faith increase by 500
System: Godly Act - Faith increase by 200
Nathan smirked as he watched the stampeding people run off into the desert. Those that were uninjured helped to carry away the overwhelming majority that had sustained injuries. The dead, as well, were dragged away, leaving an empty battlefield with nothing but red-stained dirt to mark the massacre that had occurred.
Nathan cared nothing for his fallen foes. He cared far more about his new stats. He opened his status window once more to look at his new skills.

He nodded his head in satisfaction. He had gained a fair amount of points during this, and his skills had levelled up past copper to the bronze stage. His skills even had cool-sounding names.
"I wish I could have named my skills myself. These names are too cool for my tastes!" He chuckled to himself as he thought for a moment. "That last skill I would have named... Pew Pew Stabby Stabby!"
System: Poor name choices are not acceptable -100 Faith.
He screamed internally again, as he saw his faith points being removed for a suggestion. Nathan swore once more to destroy this system when he got out.
He just shook his head. He was enjoying his time here, it was turning out to be rather fun! If this were his video game, then maybe he would not change anything, for one reason alone.
He was happy.

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!
8 165Dungeon Ship (Ash Rising)
What do you get when you mix together an uploaded human brain, two different sources of alien technology, and a love for video games? My name is Ash. Thats the only thing about me I'm still sure about. I've been having a rough time of it lately. I used to be human, but I'm definitely not human anymore. For awhile I was a weapon, then a space probe, and now... Well, now, I'm a kind of dungeon core. A space-traveling, alien-hybridized, freaked-out of my artificial mind Dungeon Core. Everyone that might have known human me is long dead. Anyone that finds out what I am now will almost certainly want to make me join them. I'm all alone. And I'm hungry. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
8 64Shrike
He wants to play the latest and greatest VRMMORPG game, but he can't muster up the cash for the fancy new proprietary hardware and membership license. After months of saving up cash and arduous work, he has built a behemoth of a machine relying almost entirely on seedy old technology and a DIY guide by some dude named "Jimmy Bob." This is the story of his entry into the game. This is also a story of intrigue, exploration, introspection, batshit crazy game design, and unintended but entirely predictable consequences. This is G.C.O. Undergoing a total re-write, mostly because I think things were too rushed rather than any content or direction changes. If you are one of the few who tried Shrike when it was briefly updating, consider giving it another shot. Of no relation to either The Great Crusade or the recent (in 2017 lol) Shrike book for Warhammer by Games Workshop. All similarities in these cases are superficial; please don't sue me. Feedback welcome and encouraged, never be afraid to review or comment. HQ/Kindle-Grade cover art. Book Cover 2.0: "From the Dark"

8 130Capo☑️
"How do you run the mafia?" he questions, wiping the corner of his mouth. "Well, I ground myself enough to not let the power get to my head, but I let myself get pissed enough to deal with motherfuckers like you," I say, calmly, picking up the hammer from Cameron's hand and making my way back over to the asshole, who flinches when I crouch down in front of him. "Now, I am going to break a finger for every question you don't answer, so I suggest you start talking," Previously called 'The Female Gangleader'
