OptionsOption 1:Random Skill with highest available LegendaryOption 2:Random Item with highest available LegendaryOption 3:Random Title with highest available Legendary
This one is sort of a no brainer.
Option 2 we don't know whether it has a level requirement or if it'll grow with the player. So that's out
Option 3 is better but still not as good as titles have the possibility for a skill it's not definite and it could be a bad skill.
So Option 1 away
Are you sure you would like to select Option 1?YesNo

Jackpot! It is basically the blessing out of No Fatigue with a bonus to XP. I am surprised it isn't classed as Epic. Wait, if Orange is legendary does that not mean that Gold is Epic? So I have two Epic skills and a Legendary!?
Lucky! But my luck is only at 18 how am I getting this lucky? Is 18 luck actually really good for this point!?
Title GainedNaive
God I know we nearly fucked up the world and you want us to suffer and see the light but can you please leave my spirit be T^T.
OK. Next. Items woo. Except not so woo. All the items are crappy the only good thing I got was a couple more potions. So I picked up the Rusty Axe I had and went on my merry way to the apartment. Follow the bloody brick road! Follow the bloody brick road!
Though I doubt Connor is still alive and kicking as the door was broken down and he was out cold in a drink coma. Oh well good riddance.

Fourth Wall BrokenInitiating Repair...Repair Complete.
Since I was already basically at the complex when the Renewal started I jogged for a minute and was there. I bounced my way up the stairs. Just as I reached the first floor I hear screeching, metal and groaning. Not the most common combo.
I peer around the corner to see three darker shaded goblins eating a corpse and corpse walking around like corpses do you know?
I quickly inspected them.
Goblin ScoutLevel8Health120/120StatusN/AThe Goblin Scout is what it says it is. A scout. It is fast and is skilled at escaping.
Walking DeadLevel10Health150/150StatusN/AA human before the Renewal hit. Slow but hits hard.
So we got some Speedsters(gotta go fast) and some tortoises with some bite.
I crouch to stay out of the line of sight as I attempt a sneak attack.
Just as I get close a pop up message appears
*Ding*

Fuck. No sneaky sneaks for me. Ever.
As I was trying for a sneak attack I am pretty close to the Goblins.
They screech and howl after detecting me, and charge forward.
One was faster than the other two, it quickly aims it's dagger at my throat. Bad move shorty.

The Gob left itself open for a direct chop with my axe.
Fatal Hit
Level Up
As it collapses I grab it's dagger and fling it at the goblin who thought it'd be a good idea to jump attack me. Fucking numpty. As it connects the last one overtakes it and starts wildly swinging. I jump backwards and now both Gobs are upon me the un-frenzied one swings too close and gives me the chance to kick him into his buddy's wild swinging. With a quick slice there is only one left. After seeing what happened to it's friend the Gob goes even more berserk and begins to change.
Goblin Scout has evolved into a title monster in it's rage.
"Inspect!"
Short RoundTitled MonsterLevel12Health500/500StatusEnraged, FrenzyShort Round was a standard Goblin Scout until a rude and naive human killed it's friends causing it to evolve in it's rage.
"Hahahahaha" I just couldn't help it. Short Round!? What a fitting name for the now yellow midget. My laughter only causes Short Round to get even angrier. I quickly focus up. As it's in a frenzy there wasn't much thought behind it's hits. But it's speed and health wasn't to be messed with.
-42
Shit I can't take many of those!
As it gets cocky thinking it did sizable damage it goes for a lunge at me. Scwiiiick. One arm gone.
-188
That did more than a third of it's health. It's damage should also be reduced as it can't use both hands for it's weapon. It's also bleeding pretty badly, I could stall and let the bleed damage do the trick. But no let's let it go down in a blaze of glory.
The thing didn't even flinch from it's arm getting cut off because of the frenzy. As it charges and slices towards my dominant arm I let a kick out of it's abdomen and quickly hop back that creates a good distance between us. And just as soon as I jump back I throw my axe right at it's head.
Bullseye.
Fatal Hit
I quickly check the notifications I had pushed out of my view, pick up the loot I see and I run to the stairwell before I aggro some Walking Dead.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
8 136RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.
8 183The Light Bringer
Would you leave behind everything you knew to live the life of another version of yourself? A version from a land where status sceens, levels, dwarfs, elves, beastkin and monsters were real? A world where limits were not set in stone and danger or adventure could be around every corner? If you stopped and thought about it, I think you would conclude it was a bad idea. But for a guy like William Taylor who actually got to make this theoretical choice, he chose yes. He's learning to regret that very quickly. But maybe one day he won't, if he lives long enough ------ Just some details about what this story will be like. This is more a character story than a story about leveling up and becoming OP. That may happen in time but don't expect it any time too soon. The MC has no powers that he brings into the world. He just has to do the best he can with his wits, knowledge and will to succeed. Also it's only fair to warn people this series has a bit of a slow start. 1 chapter a week with occasional bonus chapters.

Daddy Kink! Madara X Reader: This attractive raven haired Uchiha could be your father due to his age, but actually you are friends, friends with benefits. [Naruto| Modern AU]-I excuse typos and grammatical errors. I was like 15 years old??? And to that time my English was on par with a fetus tbfh. I am correcting some mistakes every now and then tho-
