dont forget to thank TheOnceUnknown for his hard work in editing this.
The God of Smithing's POV
The blacksmith that was working within my domain recently finished his new body. I was mildly impressed, his work was better than anything a Minor God of Smithing could ever hope to craft, but, before I placed him in his new body, he made the strangest request I had ever heard.
[Can I make one final request?]
I agreed; the thought of "what could he want" swimming through my mind, but, what he wanted surprised me.
[Can you have it so that my owner is a woman?]
I responded that, that wasn't really my expertise, but I told him that the Goddess of Fate might grant his request if he made an offering she approved of. I was going to suggest making a mirror, but, before I had a chance to suggest it, he stopped me and told me that he had the perfect gift . I was slightly peeved that he wasn't even going to listen to my offer, but, then I wondered what he was going to make that he was so sure of; it was because of this that I left with a small grin showing on my face.
On the day of judgment, I checked in on him to see if he had finished what he had planned, I expected him to be working til' the last second; however, he was just sitting on the ground, meditating, the gift or maybe gifts were sitting on the ground next to him, wrapped in some festive paper with a note attached on the top of it. Since he seemed unresponsive, maybe through mental exhaustion, I decided I would take the gift(s) in his stead and ask the goddess about what he wanted.
After grabbing the gift, I teleported to The Goddess of Fate's chambers, as soon as she saw me she greeted me with...
[Have you finally come to claim the favor that I owe you?]
[In a way, yes, I am.]
Was what I replied, I then began to explain to her exactly what I wanted and why. After she heard my full explanation, a could see a visible spark of curiosity in her eyes, she then ripped both the note and the wrapped package from my hands (almost taking my hands in the process). She read through the note rapidly, and almost as soon as she finished ( maybe even before she did) she started tearing into the wrapping of the gift, and opened it. I didn't know what she took out, but, it look like a type of dress. I didn't know what type of dress, but it was gorgeous, it was so stunning that the kid might have beat The God of Crafting if he had challenged him, I could only be glad that he didn't get to fully complete the sword he was making while he was alive, if he had, he might have become The God of Smithing. I couldn't even tell what world the design came from.

While I was mulling over my thoughts, I heard the goddess say [stats], when she read it, the look on her faced switched from shock to confusion to anger in a time span that was so quick that no mortal would have noted the change.
She then shouted...
[ JUST WHAT GAME ARE YOU PLAYING GODDESS OF WISDOM!!!]
I tried to inquire what set her off, but, before I could, she simply handed me the items and told me to look, and look I did; what I found was stunning...

After I finished reading, The goddess began to giggle...
[Fufufu. I was planning on playing a trick on the mortal, but, I think I'll grant his request, I mean he gave me such an outstanding offering, I didn't even know such things could be crafted by mortals. This might be my new favorite dress, it's much better than this ratty old thing ( she says pointing to her current attire).( She then took of her old clothes and put on the new set so rapidly I couldn't even glace her skin) This one is so much better, not only does it look better, but it feels divine.]
With that, she practically threw me out of her room in order to call more gods in to view her in her new splendor ( luckily she noted, as she threw me out of the room, that should would grant his request).
When I got back, he was already done meditating, I then told him of the outcome ( to which he got a small smirk on his face when he heard the judgment). After that, I practically threw his soul into the sword and took him to his new home ( I didn't want to be anywhere near him when the God of Crafting got wind of what he made). I could only hope that the Goddess would keep her word as he was probably the most interesting mortal I had ever met .

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
