《Heretic King》Heretic King - Chapter 14
Advertisement
My race was changing. The status indicated that clearly. Changing into to what? Only the System could tell.
Either way Bloodlust was now my highest stat, with a staggering 2130, with Wisdom in second with 834, third being Strength falling behind with 380.
Through the scenarios I had learned many things. One being how to utilize Qi effectively, second I became more skilled in my techniques, my moves were not as unrefined as before.
As I walked past Vör through a large gate reminiscent of Dante's Gate's of Hell. Inside I saw a cub lying down chained to a stone.During the trial I read many tales, one of which about Nordic legends. The chain binding Fenrir, Gleipnir. The stone, Thviti.
I approached the cub cautiously as it is the Wolf that is prophesied to kill Odin. You can never be too careful. As I got closer the cub seemed to sense me, as it saw me it began to yip in delight. It looked so cute. Once I reached within arms distance the cub pounced into my arms, cuddling up to my chest. I quickly unfastened Gleipnir from it's leg, which caused the cub to be even happier. I was greeted with two notifications.
You have completed the Forbidden Rank Quest - 'Unseal the God-Slaying Wolf'RewardsYou have gained Fenrir as a pet.
Level +3
God-Slaying Wolf SetBe warned the Nordic Gods will send their champions to end Fenrir's life before it grows.
You are the first to complete a Forbidden Rank QuestRewardsCan now view race evolutions, for a more succesful racial path.
Fenrir, it's gonna get tiring saying that each time. Hmm... How about Fen? Easy enough I guess.
"Fen do you wanna tag along with me?" I asked the cub as it does have an opinion. It yipped in delight and began running in circles around me. When I got a closer look, it sorta looked like a silver Zorua, it was sooooooo cute.

"I-Infinite luck!? What!? How does a Wolf that has infinite luck manage to get sealed!?"
Fen seemed discontent when I mentioned it's sealing. It jumped up and began to lightly scratch my chest while licking my face.
"OK! OK! I'm sorry I was just surprised so can you stop?" As it hears me it seems satisfied and hops off my chest, sticking it's chest out in pride.
Suddenly an unfamiliar ding echoed in my mind.
Global System AnnouncementPlayer 'Thomas Crowe' has unlocked the Pet System globally.
As this player has a bounty on him, his location will be given.
The player who manages to kill him will be granted a boon by God and a skill of their choice.Current Global Location: Stockport, England
Oh that cannot be good...
Antwerp, Belgium
"Brother we're closer than I thought! If we hurry we can reach Stockport in less than a week!" I said in excitement while thinking of this man who brought nothing but surprises to me.
"Simmer down, Diana. By the time we get there he will have been long gone. Though he hasn't moved far since the last time, just a bit over 200 kilometers." Nikolai always knows how to rain on my parade. But I can't stop thinking of the man who got a bounty from a God and unlocked this pet system. Ooh what pet should I get? Maybe a cute fox? Or a penguin? Penguins are so cute! Noot Noot!.
Liverpool, England
"Haha so my little guinea pig is so nearby, I can reach Stockport in less than an hour, let's see you escape from me little boy."

I couldn't wait to test my new concoctions on the fugitive man, he should hopefully be able to survive a few of them before he breaks. Judging by how he unlocked the pet system all I have to do is look for a guy with a monster that isn't attacking him.
Wait for me little boy.
Graz, Austria
"This lad keeps giving me more surprises, pets? How do you just end up with a pet? I wouldn't mind one myself though, maybe a water element one?" As I mumbled to myself, I thought of how much more interesting this world will get because of this lad, hopefully you don't die to soon. Give me more surprises eh lad, something to look forward in this world where that is something sorely lacking. I began hammering again with full concentration.
Seville, Spain
"Boss If that guy keeps heading south we'll meet him. If we do can I fight him? He seems like a good challenge!"
Honestly why does that guy have to be so hot blooded, if he hadn't noticed we are trying to avoid dangerous players, all I want to do is gradually get stronger to protect my comrades and...
"Boss, what is it?" I blushed looking away.
"N-Nothing, don't mind it Katie." I said flustered. She just tilted her head in confusion.
"OK then...?"
Monaco, Monaco
If I have to listen to this son of a bitches preaching of the "Lord" for one more minute I might just off myself. I thought I'd be rid of the otário pau once the continents merged but he's worse than a leech, he won't fuck off.
"Isn't today a fine day? The lord has given us directions to a heathen! Let us depart at once Lord Seraph!"
Honestly I might just ask the goddamn sinner to kill this guy first before anything...
"Fine, get moving Leo."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Malmo, Sweden
So the God-Slaying Wolf has been freed, Haa why couldn't it just be left alone then I'd be free to laze around doing what I please.
Haa, time to set off then. Honestly Thomas fuck you, couldn't have left well enough alone could you? Haa, let's just get this over with.

My Intergalactic Boyfriend
Rae is an 18 year old boy, with "Fluffy Cat-Like Ears and a Tail", who is going into his senior year in high school at the lowest point in his life. Rae has been relentlessly bullied and tormented for his entire childhood because of his physical differences. When Rae's last bit of hope for a life with meaning is crushed, the Cosmos decides to send him a guide to help him find his Purpose and grant him Love. First and foremost this is a Science Fiction, Fantasy-Adventure story. The story has a strong "Slow-Burn" Gay Romance sub-plot (Male x Male / Boy x Boy) that is central to the events in the story. (i.e. Characters are not going to fall in love with each other immediately.) You will likely find that the pacing in the beginning is intentionally slower than some other stories. To some it may even resemble a slice-of-life / school-life style story early on. This is intentional and is my personal choice for character developement and world-building, but I assure you there will be plenty of Fantasy and Adventure later in the story. Hopefully, the various mix of elements will appeal to a wide range of readers. This story is published only on: RoyalRoad / Tapas / Wattpad This story is published only under the ScreenName: SpuriousSimulacrum

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
