《Goblin+》Chapter 1: Being a goblin
Advertisement
“Why?”
A lone goblin spoke in a tongue unfamiliar to most in the world of Verzun. The goblin continued to spit curses at the blue sky in English till he got tired and took a break underneath a tree. Things weren’t looking good for the goblin.
He died in his old world only to become a goblin in this one, a rather drastic change that he simply could not accept. It was pure misfortune to be a goblin, he would soon find after his arrival in the new world.
Goblins weren’t the brightest of creatures and that was a generous statement. His kin were barely better than the beasts that roamed the forests. Too an extent, goblins were… devolved.
From a highly advanced human civilization to a lowly goblin stuck in a forest with only a mediocre life or death to look forward too was a blow too low for him, it stung at his pride.
Goblins were pests to the other races of this world. If their population crossed a certain point, parties would be sent out to cull the population. It had already happened twice and the goblin had to hide far away while he watched his kin be slayed.
He was too weak to command them and they were too dull-witted to run away. The goblin wasn’t angry at the humans for he would have done the same if he was still human.
After two exterminations within the span of a month the once numerous goblin tribe he had been born in barely had any members left. He didn’t bother reuniting with them, knowing his kin they were probably breeding and multiplying as usual.
He didn’t want to be in these forests waiting to be slaughtered, he would explore and perhaps he could even make something of this second chance that had been granted to him,

“Shit, stupid boars.”
The wild boars in the forest were a good source of food to the goblins and humans alike but it would require a party of at least 5 goblins to take down one boar. The goblin climbed the tree and waited for the boar to pass by before resuming his exploration.
The goblin had been wandering around for a while but didn’t notice anything special other than the occasional boar. There were bears in this forest, which he made sure to stay far away from, there was no outrunning or out climbing those beasts.
While walking the goblin stumbled and fell down grabbing his head in pain,
“ARGGGG, Fuck stop, oh please stop.”
The blinding pain threatened to rip apart his head and he couldn’t help but shed tears while crying in misery. His vision blacked out and he couldn’t hear the noises of the forest. The goblin started panting and soon even breathing became difficult. Grunting at the ordeal, he grit his teeth and persevered since it wasn’t his first time going through this mess.
After some time the pain turned into a dull ringing in his head and when his vision cleared the goblin stood up to find a familiar floating window in front of him,

“The calibration hurt more than it ever has in the past and the installation made me want to kill myself. You have some explaining to do VIKI.”
The goblin rubbed his head and massaged his eyes, the changes to his body were on an unholy level of pain. Shaking his head and waving of the grogginess, he looked at VIKI’s reply,

VIKI:
Host’s current biology vastly differs from humans in the Sol system.
Certain measures and modifications needed to be taken to ensure the PM mod can work in current scenario.

“Yeah yeah, being a goblin is tough I know already.”
The goblin was smiling at the notification and quickly manipulated the system to show the changes that were made and whether he could use his abilities from the old world as a goblin.
“Oh this is good, VIKI. Maybe being a goblin isn’t too bad.”
Looking at the system logs the goblin could see that certain inbuilt restrictions VIKI was required to apply in his usage of the PM mod as per the Laws of United Federation of Humanity was lifted because… he wasn’t human anymore,
“Interesting, time to test this out.”

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

The Line-Drive
"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately.Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'"~~~Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper. She's smart, focused on school, the paper, and her TA responsibilities. Junior year should be starting off easy for Dane Sawyer. He's the star pitcher of the baseball team; attractive, athletic, desirable, with a hot girlfriend. Unfortunately, he's also failing computer science which is the one thing he sees that is in the way of his pro career.
