《The Strongest Job... Gardener?》Chapter 1: Revolve to change
Advertisement
Okay just letting you know that the first 5 - 10 chapters aren't that good, but they are short.
if you don't make it that far i would say anything bad about you, i mean its your choice and your opinions. just know there is a reason that i do have so many followers at least i think there is.
stories don't get first in the weeklys just because they update a lot or quite a few stories would have been in the weeklys.
so read the story, if you don't like it and quit before the 10th chapter that's cool but i won't care about your review and neither will my readers that follow me because they enjoy what i write.
sorry for the long rant just had to put that out their to let off some steam.

“What the hell!?” [???]
Currently, Chris Gelvon 17 years old 6’4, messy red hair that covers most of his face fat and ugly high school student was sitting in a small clearing. Labeled as “the weak giant” by his peers while being made a punching bag by everyone in his school both metaphorically and not. Even the teachers tormented him.
His story wasn’t sad like because of the some incident caused others to tease him, no it was just because he was “weak”. Since he was always picked on for his weight and that he was an otaku, in other words, he was a coward.
To him, manga, anime, and light novels were an escape from cruel reality. Though because of that “escape” he was only bullied even more.
Because of all that Chris hated for others, but now none of that mattered right now.
Just a moment ago he was in class then a white light and some voice.
Though right now he didn’t worry about that. He was looking around, but all he saw was trees.
(Ok ok calm down Chris think.) [Chris]

Note: () mean that they are thinking not speaking
Taking a deep breath Chris’ mind raced.
“Wait now I remember!”
He recalled in the white light a voice told him some stuff but at the moment, it was mostly hazy except for say “since fate seems to like you I give you the basic info so that you can survive.”
Remembering that he thought it over then said “menu.”
In the corner of his vision, a small window appeared in it 4 things were displayed.
|basic info|
|job and titles|
|stats|
|skills|
He started with basic info.
The window changed to show his name, sex, age, race, level.
Needless to say, he was level 1.
Next looking at his job and titles. Obviously he had no titles, but his job made not know to laugh or cry.
“Combat Gardener!? What the fuck is that!?” [Chris]
Note: do you prefer that or Battle Botanist, please tell me
He could only sigh as he moved onto his stats.
HP 100 / MP 400
Str 15
Agi 5
Def 20
Magic 30
Luck 1
Charm 0
Looking at his stats, his agility seemed low but that’s probably because of him being fat. Still his luck is 1 and…
“Charm 0 as expected” [Chris]
Still his magic was 30 and his MP was 400 that had to be good right?
Lastly, he opened the skill window.
He had 6 skills
Create Seed
Green Thumb General
Extreme Growth
Battle State
Analyze
Language Comprehension
He decides to look at each one of them.
/Create Seed (rank 1) – creates a seed that transforms into a plant minion when placed on the ground” (Costs 100 MP)
Current seeds available: Chomper Seed
/Green Thumb General (rank 1) – allow you to command your plant minions with efficiency as well as given them + 5% to all stats
Command limit: 5
/Extreme Growth – increase EXP gain x2 and stat increase by level 20%

/Battle State – in combat your mind becomes calm and has raised resistance to mental attacks
/Analyze – gives useful info on target {if the target’s level is too high then less info is given}
/Language Comprehension - you understand and can speak any language you come across
Looking at his skills, he smiled.
“Finally something good!” [Chris]
He cheered with joy (maybe this is a good thing, coming to this world)
Crack
Hearing the sound of a twig snapping behind him, he turned and standing there was a small green monster the size of a child with a loincloth as its only clothing, it carried a stick as a weapon.
He immediately used analyze on it.
Goblin Lvl 3
Rank F
HP 70 / MP 0
Str 10

Magic 0
Skill: none
(Goblin huh, it seems weak. So if I kill it I gain EXP, alright) [Chris]
Looking at the little green monster, he smiled.
(There is only one so this will be easy)
Chris had confines that he could, at least, beat one goblin.
As he decides how to handle this his mind was completely calm and calculating, it was nice since this was his first battle he didn’t need the pressure of being panicked.
The goblin eyed him as Chris picked up a nearby rock.
Sensing hostility the goblin suddenly squeaked and in the next few seconds there were 7 more goblins all glaring at Chris.
Still he didn’t panic while being thankful for Battles State his mind worked quickly.
“Oh yeah I have that skill” [Chris]
Instantly 2 small green seed appeared in Chris’ hand and he tossed them onto the ground.
As soon as the seeds hit the ground they exploded with leaves and vines. In a second two 3’0, plant monsters that looked similar piranha plants from the Mario series stood there. The only difference was that the chompers were a dark green color instead of red with white spots.
Looking at them Chris used analyze
Chomper Minion
Tier 1
HP 200 / MP 0
Str 25
Agi 5
Def 20
Magic 0
Skills: none
“Wow, these guys aren’t that bad” [Chris]
Seeing the 2 chompers appear out of nowhere the goblins were caution, but Chris had no hesitation. Through some sort of mental link, he ordered the 2 chompers to attack the goblins.
Large leaves acted as legs as they made their way to the goblins.
Obviously, the goblins weren’t that intelligent and see the chompers moving towards them the little group of child-sized monsters started attacking the plants.
To put it shortly it ended poorly for the goblins. They swung their sticks at the chompers, but the 2 plants didn’t seem to take much damage. While the goblins were attacking one of the chompers opened its mouth and lashed out.
With one bit the upper half of the nearest goblin vanished into the chompers mouth leaving only the arms and hip down to fall in a pool of blood.
Seeing how quickly their comrade was killed, they stiffened.
Before they finally decided to run, 3 more goblins were devoured by Chris’ minion.
“Awesome with these guys I have a fighting chance to survive until I find civilization” [Chris]
After walking around for a while, Chris found a river with a cave. Seeing that the cave was safe he and since it was getting dark, Chris made 3 more chompers.
Then using grass and leaves from around the area he made a bed for himself.
As he lay there looking at the star that could be seen from the cave through small hole in the ceiling Chris’ mind began to churn.
Sighing while stretching out his hand he as if he was trying to grab the stars out of the sky he let out a fearless smile.
“That does it, in this world I will change!” [Chris]
Clenching his hand, he laughed while shouting.
“I will shed this shell of being weak! I will become someone strong! More powerful than anyone no matter what!” [Chris]
Gaining the resolve to change his life Chris drifted off to sleep.

So let's say there's this girl. A young girl who happens to be a highly-trained, psionically-gifted, nanite-infused, genetically-enhanced and emotionally unstable assassin that doesn't know the concept of 'mercy' or 'holding back.' Let's say she and her imaginary friend miraculously pass through the borders of reality into an alternate universe, crash landing into a world of swords and magic aboard a starship full of high-tech wonders. Now, let's also say the first person this borderline psychopath meets happens to be her doppelganger - a highly gifted mage who happens to have a few problems of her own, like a bad temper or a bad habit of chronic self-delusion. With me so far? Good. Now, what's the on the agenda for these two different people who happen to be the same person? Settle down, start a family and thoroughly enjoy life. Maybe get married and have some kids. How about befriending a violent alcoholic or defeating an ancient evil being? Perhaps kill a few dragons and wreck a city along the way. Anything can happen around the city of Runetap, after all. It's a place where bizarre and strange things occur on an almost weekly basis. The people living there have long abandoned silly things like common sense or minding the details. A giant flaming UFO streaks above the city in broad daylight? That's just another Tuesday. The City Guard even had the form for that, so believe me when I say this. It's your loss if you mind it. This is the light-hearted and fluffy tale of Ellie and Kira as they forge their own path of absurdity and crazyness across a world that often makes little sense. Loosely inspired by the Discworld series of books by Terry Pratchett, even though the author hasn't actually read any of them. Contains yuri, mature themes and the author's personal views on several subjects. Explicit content is kept to a minimum.Does NOT contain slavery, rape, drugs or any other similarly heavy themes.

8 66The Last Marshal
Weird West Fantasy Noir Once the Republic Marshals brought order to the chaotic lands along the Frontier, facing dangers both human and supernatural with ancient wisdom and a six-gun —but that was a long time ago. Destroyed by conspiracy and betrayal, all that remains of that secretive order is one nameless man on a trek though the West seeking revenge on the woman he blames for the Marshals' fall and his disgrace. When a visitor from our world joins him on his journey, they together must confront the horrors of a strange land, the mysteries of the past and the real meaning of their quest for justice. The world of Tellus is what 19th Century Earth would have looked like if the stories of Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Lovecraft and William Hope Hodgeson were real. History in this world moves slower. The old faiths persist and civilization never conquered the dark corners of the map, at least not without being inextricably changed. Technology and culture takes a little longer to evolve in this land, as people here tend to spend more time pursuing their elaborate revenge plots or trying to avoid being the next sacrifice to the Outer Gods rather than advancing science or statecraft. Imagine Cormac McCarthy by way of Edgar Rice Burroughs, though a little less testosterone-drenched than that description would imply. Three caveats: First, there are deep mysteries here, including how such a world came to be and who controls it. Second, this world is not wholly unconnected from our own. There is a historical point of divergence, but in the distant past. To paraphrase Twain: history in this world is not a repeat of our own, but it does often rhyme. And finally, this is not a setting that lends itself to happy endings.
