《Bob's Ascension to Godhood》021: 21

Bob looked at the quest description again.
Then he did what every honorable human was good at.
He...
Put it off until tomorrow.
Wow.
Yes.
Like, he actually put it off until tomorrow.
Nobody was expecting him to do that, right?
For now, he would ask the system some questions, namely, how this world worked, why he was so important to the gods, what he would become the god of if he became a god, how long it was estimated for him to reach godhood, and most importantly, did pizza exist on this world?
He could put most of those off until later, but the latter was one that he had to ask immediately.
After all, what could possibly be more important than what he was having for lunch?

In the meeting place of the gods...
"Chaos, and all of his followers, are banned from this meeting."
All of the gods and goddesses in the room had serious exressions on their faces.
"Now, I know that all of you know what we're here for."
Some of the newer gods and goddesses had slightly confused looks on their divine faces.
"The future of Enam Tenalp may come down to this one thing."
"What..."
All of the gods and goddesses held their breaths as Boredom, the king of the gods, as he paused for a moment. There was so much tension in the air that if any mere mortal were there, the mortal would die immediately.
"Will Bob eat for lunch?"

"Hello? System?"
[ Yes? ]
"I repeat my question..."
"Is there any pizza on this planet?"
[ Erm, yes, there is, but- ]
"But what?"
"And why do you sound so nervous?"
Bob eyed the system suspiciously.

[ Nervous? What could possible make me nervous? ]
[ Don't answer that. ]
[ Anyway, there is pizza on this planet, but it's on the other side of Eman Tenalp, and it would take months, if not years, to journey there, and once you are there, there is a- ]
"Enough."
Bob sighed.
The nearest pizza was on the other side of the planet?
"Do they deliver?"
[ No, of course not, and- ]
"Don't say more than you need to."
The system seemed to sigh in relief.
"BOREDOM!"
Bob called to the heavens.
"What is it, Bob?"
The God of Boredom sincerely hoped that it wasn't about lunch.
Food could lean on the chaotic side as well as the good side.
If Bob ate something that leaned on the chaotic side of things, like pizza, which was the most chaotic food in existence, the chances that he would choose chaos over order when he ascended to godhood would be greater. Currently, the chances were 50/50. If Boredom influenced his choice in any way, the chances of Bob choosing chaos over order would rise, no matter how subtly Boredom influenced him and what he ate.
"...Gimme pizza."
"Wait, but are you sure you want pizza? Why don't you eat vegan foods and drink a lot of tea? That's very peaceful an-"
"Who cares? Gimme pizza."
"I strongly suggest that you choose vegan foods and tea over pizza. Those are way more healthy, and-"
"I said, gimme pizza."
"If you eat vegan foods and drink tea, I'll give you-"
"NO KIND OF BRIBES CAN MAKE ME EAT SH*T AND DRINK LEAF WATER!"
"Well, then, at least don't eat pizza... Maybe dumplings?"
"I...
WANT...
P I Z Z A !"
The God of Boredom went silent.
"..."
"Fine. Pizza. You happy now?"
Bob started a little victory dance.
The God of Boredom turned away, in fear of losing his divine vision.

Mage Among Superheroes
Turlough is a mage. He also happens to be an orc, generally lauded as being less intelligent than humans. He was unfortunately born with the Curse of the Barbarian, meaning that he can’t level up except through combat- which greatly hinders his ability to show he can be a proper mage. In a world with necromancers, dragons, invading armies, and all sorts of other monsters he would still be able to advance quickly, but unfortuantely… that world is not his world. An unprecedented peace reigns across the land, and in the last several decades there’s been little use for people capable of fighting- and thus little reason for people to fight him. So when he sees a portal in his master’s study he takes it, hoping to find a horde of demons or something equally foolish to combat at low level. But instead he ends up in a strange city full of skyscrapers and people running around in colorful outfits. Superheroes- and of course supervillains as well. What dangers and opportunities could await him in such a strange and unfamiliar world? Only time will tell. Inspired by many things in the superhero genre, and Super Minion specifically- though while the setting will share some standard elements, it is an original setting that will hopefully be as engaging as many of the other universes. Schedule: One chapter each Monday/Thursday, approx. 2000 words.

8 143Malevolent
Within a generation, the sky, once blue, bled a deep scarlet. Feral beasts roamed the lands and mutated men ravaged civilisations. They carved destruction in their wake. The spawning of new idols worshiped by cultists marked a terrible turn. Finally, a crippling insanity plagued the very few survivors left. Written in the journals of antiquity, lost in time, a scholar wrote: ‘This horrific cataclysm that we face was brought about by humans…’ However, these events are long gone. A longstanding peace has descended to Orbis. Yet, to spite the efforts of the saviours of yore, a progenitor of this calamity has been invited back by ritual. It seeks the return of these very ancient events. A silent peril is on the way.
