《Dice of Infinite Fates》Chapter 4 : Unprepared
Advertisement
After everyone ate dinner and went into the tents to sleep, i met up with Sirius, the leader of our group, and told him that i would like to take the second shift. We did not have enough sleeping tents and sleeping bags for everyone. Moreover, people needed to take watch in case of wolves attack. Thus half the people would be sleeping while the other half would take watch. After 3 hours, we would swap shifts.
I decided to enact my plan. Before i take a sleeping bag and rest until the 2nd shift where i have to take watch, i decided to walk into the jungle, hiding myself in the trees. No one noticed me leaving.
I took out my dice and flipped it after saying “Chances of me getting something incredible in a supply box.”
The dice twirl in the air, releasing red light and black lightning until it landed on my palm. It stopped at 3.
“Looks like i have to roll again later,” i laughed at the power of my dice.
I returned to the campsite, explaining that i took a leak. I took my sleeping bag and dozed off near the fire, calculating the best way to used the other survivors to my benefits. My slumber went on for 2 to 3 hours until a loud scream released me from my dreams.
“ Wolves! Wolves are attacking! Everyone wake up!” I heard someone scream.
With a jolt, my body got out of the confines of my sleeping bag and grabbed my makeshift spear. Due to it being the first time people had to wake up as fast as possible, many people were slow and started panicking.
I saw the pack of wolves tore through all the helpless fools who took their own sweet time to get up. Those with attacking skills used whatever they had to fend them off, trying to save the rest.
While everything was going on, i stood by the side with my spear in hand, not using my energy blast at all. Although everyone was panicking and screaming, i was calm and silent. If everyone wasn’t panicking, we would be able to easily fend off the wolf pack. There were only 10 wolves attacking us.
I decided to just allow the rest to fend them off, not allowing myself to show that i had an attacking skill. Even though many were dying because i did not help, i did not give a shit. If i used my powers, i was pretty sure i could kill at least half of all the wolves. Working for my life when i was young had already taught me not to care about others.
Why should i waste my mana trying to help these stupid fools who can't even protect themselves against these lowly dogs.

As the wolves tore through our group, i acted like i was helping to defend. To those who glanced at me, they would think i was desperately trying to help. Contrary to their beliefs, i was just picking up the golden balls that fell whenever someone who had a skill died.
You have acquired class D skill : silent walk
Silent walk : becomes 99% transparent,making it harder for people to see you
Mana required : 10 per minute
You have acquired…. ... ...
I chased after the wolves acting like i was killing them, while i picked up all the golden blass on the ground.
Seeing that there were only one or two wolves, i got serious and decided to kill one of them to make it seem authentic. As the sharp point of my makeshift spear penetrate the the red stone of the shadow wolf, a blue message box appeared with a ‘ting’ sound.
You acquired 10 points
Points can be used to purchased skills and items after the preliminary rounds.
Seeing the notification,i was shocked, i had thought killing wolves were useless. However with the inclusion of earning points for killing them got my brain thinking. My original plan was scrapped and new ideas were formed.
After all the wolves were killed, a gloomy atmosphere invaded the camp. The feelings of death and sadness reeked the air as the remaining survivors wept for their fallen family members. About 16 people died from the attack, with a few heavily wounded.
“Sera! Sera wake up!” I saw a middle age man shook a beautiful woman who was lying in a puddle of blood. The middle age man was in denial over the death of his loved one.
Perhaps i should had have felt sad for him, however all i felt was that he was too weak. He was one of those who were slow in waking up and did not doing anything during the attack. He was panicking and hiding in his sleeping bag while others were fighting. My elitist pride did not allow me to show sympathy towards a person like this. I knew that with his mental and emotional capabilities, he would not be able to live long in this new world.
After seeing how everyone in the camp lost their senses and panicked like chickens during the attack, my mind had already started to view them as inferior beings.
I had hoped that due to the World Survival Games that i would be able to meet someone who I acknowledge as an equal being. However, it was a foolish assumption to think i would meet someone who could stand on my level so soon into the game.
In my whole life, there were only 3 people who could make me say that they were indeed on the same level as me. One was the head of the Sira Mafia, the other was my teacher while the last was my partner in crime back when i used to work on the streets.

I watched as everyone pick up the bodies of their family members and tried to bury them. They made gravestones using the rocks by the river. All the children were crying while sirius, the leader of our group said his prayers.
While they were mourning, i went off to roll my dice again. This time i rolled a 6.
As people says, fortune follows tragedy.
With me rolling 6, the next time i find a supply box, there was a high chance that i would acquire something good.
After rolling a 6, i kept my dice and tried to find a way to switch my skill to silent walk. However, i found out that i could not change skills during a round. I could only change before a round started.
I returned to the campsite after rolling the dice to seeing everyone was quiet. Many had lost their friends and loved ones. An aura of depression had settled in this camp. If I was the leader of this group and had gave a crap on them, i would have tried to cheered everyone up and raise morales.
A group having such a bad morale was going to be detrimental for the survival of this group. If they wanted to survive, everyone had to be on their best shape. If not, when wolves attack again, they will be too slow to retaliate. However there was no way i was going to be a hero and try to give a motivational speech. I did not care enough on whether they lived or died.
Although i would lose their protection if everyone died, i was sure i could protect myself from the wolves and get to the arc by myself. After observing the behaviour and attack patterns of the wolves, i was sure i could take them on by myself.
I watched as everyone pick up the supplies and items of their dead family members. Everyone trying to clean up the campsite, most of the sleeping bags and tents were destroyed. However,luckily the wineskins, weapons and all the other stuff people got from the lucky box were indestructible.
While we were picking everything up and sorting it all out. We heard sounds of leaves moving and branches breaking. We all turned to the source of the noise and quickly prepared our weapons. Everyone on edge due to the previous attack.
Everyone sighed in relief as we saw a group of people walk out from the tree line. Lights from their torches illuminated the night as they came out from the jungle tree line and onto the river clearing.
Sirius being our leader, went to talk with them. I saw a man in camo attire walk out from their group to talk with sirius. Everyone had the look of relief as we found more survivors.
The two groups started to mingle. I joined in on the conversations to make relationships and to learn more about them. Thus i went up to the large burly man to learn more about their group.
“ Hey kid! You okay?” he asked me.
“ Yeah, a little shaken up from the attack, but mostly fine,” I answered, wiping the sweat of my head.
“When we heard the sounds of screaming and of battle, we rushed here immediately to help, however it looks like we were too late to help” he sighed.
“Yeah, when the wolves attacked us at night, we were too unprepared, most of us panicked and a lot of us died” I said tearfully.
“Don’t be too gloomy, what we need to do now is to survive and live so that we may remember those who died in this cruel game,” he tried to motivate me.
“Thank you,” I thanked him.
“I’m Lawrance by the way,” I introduced myself.
“I’m Andrew, just come to me if you need any help,” he introduced himself.
Throughout the night, most did not sleep. Everyone was shakened up by the attack and was too scared to sleep. They were afraid of another attack. After talking to Andrew and getting to know him, i learnt about the skills and the things their group had. I got close to Andrew and became friends with him, seeing that he was a capable person. My conman instincts were telling me that being friends with him would be useful in the future.
He had a skill called poison gas, poison gas would release a poisonous as into the surrounding killing and paralyzing everyone. The poison can be controlled to who inhales it, However someone would have to inhale the gas for a few minutes for it to be potent and the gas was visible to the naked eye. The gas was green in colour and people would be able to noticed they are being attacked easily. Thus the target needs to be stationary or stuck for the gas to work.
After forming a bond with Andrew and getting to know him better, i decided to sleep to conserve my energy. I was not that worried about another attack. With the inclusion of the new group and the chaos of the attack, i doubt anyone would notice or even care that i did not take watch.

The Faction Contributor [Sci-Fi LitRPG]
While casually studying for his upcoming university exam, Aven suddenly felt the world around him start warping. It started with flashes of light appearing from nowhere, quickly escalating into his whole world becoming an absolute mess of flickering pixels and chaotic color flows, as if reality had become a malfunctioning glitched screen. What he could recognize as numbers, letters, and strange symbols flew everywhere around him, obviously trying to form a coherent whole to be displayed before his eyes, but such attempts kept failing, again and again. Before he could even start thinking about how both mesmerizing and absurd this spectacle was, however, it all stopped, as suddenly as it had begun. Accompanying the end of this unique show, 2 things happened. First, knowledge had spontaneously appeared in his mind and he could perfectly understand it, as if it had always been there, just inaccessible. Second, a weird simultaneously hot and cold energy had made its apparition inside his body completely unannounced. Aven had just simply and purely awakened his innate ability and the energy potential of his cells, joining the world of the supers, a minority that had always controlled and protected the world since ancient times, by becoming one of them. *** Do you have a sci-fi itch to scratch? Maybe that story can help~ It’s not a comic story that doesn’t take itself seriously. It’s also not a grimdark story, going to the depth of making sure the environment is the worst one ever. It’s just a serious story, a rational one, one you can comfortably dive into, written by a guy who already got some writing experience by having seriously written more than 2 000 pages of another serious story prior to starting this one. Enjoy *** Update: 3 chapters every week (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) Chapters: Around 3 000 words each.

Marvel-ous Ninjutsu
So content warning first, this is a fanfic of hot steaming garbage. I hope you enjoy it. I will probably put in bad words, fights, maybe gore and maybe some lemons. Or maybe I won’t, we will see how this goes. This story is my attempt to write some fanfiction that I won’t hate, which is still up for debate. Let us follow the MC as he is pushed into the world of Marvel with his own special super power made up from the world of Naruto. This will be close to the MCU, but let's call it Earth-199999-AU. AU is for the author's universe. MCU, check. X-Men, check. Doom and the fan-4? Double check. Other stuff from comics, also check. From Naruto, eye powers? At some point, so check. Tailed beasts and summons? Nope. Chakra and ninja powers? Check and check. Other things to note, I will try to keep the power for the MC in balance. But with his super power it might be hard, those eye powers can be some pretty high level BS. I don’t plan to have a harem for the MC, but I might give one to another character, because I know people like harems. But if I give you a harem, I won’t give you any lemons to go with it. I hope you enjoy the story. If you don’t let me know, or don’t. It’s a fanfic anyways, expect hot garbage. Chapters will be put out when they are put out, I do not have a big back log and I am trying not to burn myself out with writing. Also this is only posted on RR for now. I might at some point post it else where and when I do, I will add a link here.
