《Second Chance》A Trial(2)rewrite

"Who's there?" her voice quivered as her head whipped in my direction. Fearing that she would hurt me; I stayed silent. her footsteps rustled as they roughly trudged through the long blades of grass. I scanned my surroundings and saw a stick by my feet .carefully picking the stick up, I lowered my body into a pouncing stance.
A deep notch was left just above my hair. A brown and rusty sword was lodged into it. terrified, I fell to the hard ground and sat there dazed, my breath drowning me as I breathed heavily.
"GODDAMNIT!, Why is it always getting stuck in trees "her brown hair whipped my face as she turned around the tree and yanked the sword out. She fell directly opposite me.
"AHHHH!" we both screamed as we were both startled. I was surprised to see another person.
"w-who are you?!"She tried to grab her sword but it was thrown quite a distance when she fell. After she realised she put her arms up.
"If you're not going to answer I'll knock it out of you!!"She proceeded to stand up and so did I. She was quite small and she was wearing a hoodie with a tracksuit bottom.
"Why don't you first tell me who you are!"I responded whilst creating some distance from her. She slowly backed into her sword at the same time making eye contact with me.
"No, I asked first and anyways what the hell were you doing hiding behind a tree"Her face turned red as she spat out word after word rapidly. She then began to take in several deep breaths.
"Anyone would be scared when someone is carrying a weapon and swinging it around dangerously, My name is jasos. ok! now tell me who are you and what was that thing u killed"I stared straight into her eyes and stopped moving.

"took you long enough. My name is Silva and that 'thing' was a goblin. How come you don't know about this? Didn't you also get an overview of what you're supposed to do"She directed a look of weariness and confusion to me? Her grip on the weapon which she had just picked up slightly weakened.
"I.. was but something happened and I don't remember what I was supposed to do. Also, how did you get a weapon? and how did you know I was behind the tree?"I looked enthusiastically, if I could get my hands on something to protect myself then I wouldn't have to be so pacifistic about everything.
"That's fine. all you have to do is open your status window by saying 'status window' and choose a class. From there you get a weapon and a skill. One of my skills lets me have a better perception of my surroundings. I'm honestly shocked you forget these important things"
"Thank you" I mumbled to her.
"OPEN STATUS WINDOW"
A surreal event took place right in front of my eyes. many strands of blue light materialised and gathered together to foram a slightly transparent blue window.

*CHOOSE CLASS*
The words shuffled and morphed into 4 figures, 3 of them were grey whilst one of them was green:[The Warrior] was swinging his longsword down, creating strong currents of wind. [The mage] was making symbols with his hand who then made the air explode. [The archer] was pulling his bowstring, releasing a single arrow to several arrows, some of which looked and impacted differently like the frost arrow. Lastly, [martial master] was posing in different stances and unleashing multiple punches at very small intervals. Warrior caught my interest as it was the only one in a different colour.

[The Warrior]
the pinnacle of the human body and mind.
+10 strength
+7 intelligence
+5 stamina
Skills:
Downward slash{uncommon}: The user deals a downward slash which lowers defence by 10% and deals x1.5 damage(strength).[Active:2 minute Cooldown]
Unwavering will{common}: Warriors do not feel fear, Instead, they make others fear them. Intelligence is X1.5 the normal amount[Passive]
Aptitude:[67.8%]
This was the only class with uncommon skill and an aptitude of above 50%. I knew that warrior was the right class for me. The rest seemed nice but skill-wise they couldn't compare to downward slash which had a lower cooldown and dealt more damage. I chose warrior.

For Grass and Glory
Being old is difficult. But losing the love of your life to natural selection and being left in the dirt is even harder. Join Walton in his final journey as he figures out if his principals are just as important when there is nothing left to lose. Combating hypocrisy, youth, bad diet practises and a general lack of respect towards humanity, Walton's struggles are the true adventure of the everyday man. A story about unlikely friendship, being old, unexpected beauty, and the obsession of kicking a round leather ball in the best way possible. A story about a new world, and its possibilities. A story about the grass, and let us hope, a small bit of glory? Author note: This is a project of mine I started in 2016 and recently been writing for again. Writing for me is something I love to do, but can't always find the time for. This is also the reason I have not finished (or come close to) Ethereal Space yet. I get distracted. I started this novel intending to create something else, to break a bit with the current go to's story wise in the litRPG or virtual reality communities. So, this is my attempt at "Something different" I would love feedback or just your general opinion. But most of all, I hope it entertains. Enjoy!

Shrike
He wants to play the latest and greatest VRMMORPG game, but he can't muster up the cash for the fancy new proprietary hardware and membership license. After months of saving up cash and arduous work, he has built a behemoth of a machine relying almost entirely on seedy old technology and a DIY guide by some dude named "Jimmy Bob." This is the story of his entry into the game. This is also a story of intrigue, exploration, introspection, batshit crazy game design, and unintended but entirely predictable consequences. This is G.C.O. Undergoing a total re-write, mostly because I think things were too rushed rather than any content or direction changes. If you are one of the few who tried Shrike when it was briefly updating, consider giving it another shot. Of no relation to either The Great Crusade or the recent (in 2017 lol) Shrike book for Warhammer by Games Workshop. All similarities in these cases are superficial; please don't sue me. Feedback welcome and encouraged, never be afraid to review or comment. HQ/Kindle-Grade cover art. Book Cover 2.0: "From the Dark"

Capo☑️
"How do you run the mafia?" he questions, wiping the corner of his mouth. "Well, I ground myself enough to not let the power get to my head, but I let myself get pissed enough to deal with motherfuckers like you," I say, calmly, picking up the hammer from Cameron's hand and making my way back over to the asshole, who flinches when I crouch down in front of him. "Now, I am going to break a finger for every question you don't answer, so I suggest you start talking," Previously called 'The Female Gangleader'
