Mal stood like a deer in the head lights, they hadn’t been called that name in at least a decade. Like that wasn’t weird enough, mal had no idea who this man is.
deciding to play along since the guy had a gun, and guns hurt, mal responded with the grace of a roach drowning in a kiddie pool “I-Uh-yea-uh that me, is the syn- um I mean group still around and all” (beautiful)
the man gave a hearty laugh, “HA! 20 years and you’re still a klutz, that’s our stikbug alright!” Laughing faded the man continued “nah dude, ol’ holiday got busted a few years before the happening, im just here because it’s probably the safest place for an old coot like me. Anyways have ya heard about the safe haven that got overrun by leapfroggers, i heard there were no survivors.”
leapfroggers? What were those? Did he mean those zombie things, depraved, wasn’t it? Mal decide to feign ignorance, “wait- uh a settlement got attacked? Are the leapfroggers a new gang or something?”
the man looked surprised, “you ‘aven’t seen em? Those zombie guys, you got to be careful, they’re bad news, anyways why are you taking all those explosives?”
shit. “Uh eh well better safe than sorry?” Mal awkwardly responded as they began to accent the ladder.
“Hey where ya going” the man asked
“erm.. home?” Mal responded
”well, where’s that?” The man asked, but it was to late mal was already gone.
——————————————————
Mal caught their breath, they had ran straight back to their base. A loud boom could be heard in the distance, one of Mal’s traps had been activated, tired from being forced into social interaction and running, mal placed their stuff down and called it a night.

at a human settlement nearby
Mike sat at the business end of a desk “yeah, I told her be careful, that approaching strangers is bad. But nooooo, she decides to go anyways”
”uh huh, continue” the man sitting across from mike nodded.
“so she calls out to the guy, and must’ve spooked them, cause they ran away leaving behind an object” mike continued
”alright,” the man affirmed
“And what did that idiot do? She approached the thing, with out taking any caution, and next thing I know, there’s a explosion, and bits of her were everywhere, i got the fuck out after that.” Mike ranted on,
”ok, so can you describe this figure to me ?” The man questioned
mike put their hand to their temple, straining their memory, “shit, they looked like they were trying to cosplay a ninja, sure weren’t sneaky like one, the had some bright patch on one of their sleeves, hard to miss it. was to far to see what it was, but looks like an insignia of some sort”
”anything else?” The man inquired
”no, thats all” mike answered
The man sighed, this was going to be a long night “alright, you can go back to your quarters, you’re dismissed”
The man shook his head as mike left the room, muttering to themself “first the gangs, then the zombies, and now a terrorist, whats next? A laser clown.”
the man slumped in defeat, he had to call the other settlements about this, he hated those asshats.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

TTWN: The Tale of Will Newbie
This series is inspired by the music of TheFatRat, please take a look if you don't know who he is here. Everyone wants to live in a fantasy world, right up until they have to face dark beings beyond their comprehension. Everyone wants to be a hero, right up until every day becomes a fight for their life. Sixteen-year-old introvert Will Newbie lives in a fantasy world. He's the hero of this story. He has been left with nothing; after a brief adventure in the mountains near his home, he returns to find his entire home missing, every person mysteriously vanishing into thin air. All that's left for him is his rather, "disembodied" older sister and the quest given to him by a rat-turned-god: Gather a team of Champions, fight back against the forces of Sin, and save the world. But if he's learned anything, it's that being a hero isn't as easy as it sounded in the books. So, he'll have to keep himself together, keep his team from tearing each other apart, and figure out just how much he's willing to sacrifice for what he believes in. Any feedback is greatly appreciated! This is my first fully written story, so I want to improve. Positive or negative, I'll take it into account! I will try to update weekly every Friday, but as I'm pretty new to this kinda grind expect some irregularities. The covers are also by moi, done in Pixel Studio. Quite proud of them, really.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

Someday someone will find this and I hope they will read every chapter.I am still overly embarrassed to write such little poems, imagine my family finds out. ,:O__________________________________________Well I don't know if that's poetry but still, for me it is. I try to write my feelings down and I provide little prompts that all occurred on real experiences or real situations. (mostly)__________________________________________I pretty much have many random thoughts I do not wanna talk about or keep to myself.Most of the chapters are issues that don't have a connection to me though.__________________________________________>>>I do not know if the poems need trigger warnings but if they do I definitely will put them in before the chapter starts.__________________________________________Oh, and I also drew the cover at 3 in the morning with 4 years old chalk. :DWell I did not plan to actually start a wattpad story or whatever you could call it but the cover somewhat matches.Let's not talk about the bad quality though. :D__________________________________________ The 07.09.2022
