Freedom Fantasy Forums, abbreviated as 3F, was the official internet forum for the game Freedom Fantasy. It has been popular ever since the day Freedom Fantasy was announced, filled by soon-to-be players' expectations, speculations, as well as their hype for the game.
As one of the main spots for information gathering, it was very popular among players. Lost was one of these players. He opens the site regularly to stay updated. Currently, he was interested in one of the posts.

New Cave found near Saleima, anyone interested? (Recruiting Explorers)
[Recruitment: Dungeon]
Lloyd
Level 83 Soul Mask
Hi, I am Lloyd from the Ouroboros Guild. Recently, we've found an unexplored cave in the Hootan Forest right next to Saleima. Using the Dungeonmeter item, we've discovered that it is C-Ranked, unusual for a place in an F-Ranked area such as Hootan. We'd like to explore it by ourselves, but we lack manpower, is anyone interested to team up with our Guild? We'll distribute the loot evenly.

Adventurer's Guild.
Saleima, West Continent.
"Are you ready?!" shouted the red haired player. He wore a red mask, the pattern resembling that of a red t-rex.
"Yes!" replied everyone else.
There was a group of people, each with their own diverse gear and style. One of them wore armor from head to toe, with a sword sheathed on their right. Another had a martial artist's robe, with the drawing of an insect sewn on its back. Another looked like a cowboy cosplayer, with a red bandana on his neck and a whip on his belt.

Lost was not among these people. He was at the table across, sipping his tea and stalking them like an edgy anime villain.
"Hohoho..." he laughed like an edgy anime villain.
Why was he acting like this? He tried to join the party, but he didn't get in.

Level 23
Can I join too?
AutoSaver
Level 82 Cowboy
Aren't you a little low leveled to join a C-Ranked dungeon? Try again when you level up, noob.
Lloyd
Level 83 Soul Mask
Auto, don't be rude.
Lost
Level 23
It's fine, thanks for the advice :D
But he still wanted to know the location of said cave, as he never found it in weeks of hunting slimes and killer rabbits. And thus, he decided to tail them. And for AutoSaver's comment, he was a little bit furious.
'I'm gonna steal your loot.' he thought, having a smug grin on his face.
.
.
.
"Wow."
Brakk!!
Tangg!!
Schwing!!
Kwush!!
Tdhew!!
Phwuack!!
The party was on the way to the cave. They killed every single monster they met with a single hit. As a result, they left a lot of corpses, and it became a trail. Lost decided to not follow them anymore, rather he decided to make good use of their kind actions.
"Thank you, high-levelers."
"Lesser Devour."
A disturbing image of dark shadows overlayed with the graphic of teeth and tongue covered Lost's arm. He was still not used to this, and he got goosebumps whenever he used it.

Lost followed the trail of corpses, using Lesser Devour on each and every single one of them. Sadly, the only skill he had gotten from almost a hundred corpses was just the Blood Gnaw skill he got from the corpse of a Dire Wolf.
'Finally, a combat skill for this hand.' he thought.
But it was also something that he'd prefer not to use. The reason was his lack of mana.
"Status."

"Only about 17 times huh..."
"Wait."
Lost looked at his stats section.

"Where's my bonus points?"
"Shouldn't my equipment-"
He stopped.
"Oh right, I'm not wearing any."
He didn't match his past equipment requirements. He couldn't wear them, so he sold them all in the marketplace to get some quick cash, or in this case, feoh.
"Also.."
"The heck is up with my luck stat!?"
Luck : 5
"...f-five?"
'Wait, don't tell me..'
"The reason my skill/characteristic stat obtaining rate is so low is because I skipped over putting points into this stat?"
Lost felt dumb. How could he skip over a stat point? As an ex-professional gamer, it hurt his pride.
"Alright, next level, I'm putting every stat point into luck!"
Lost continued following the trail of corpses that was created due to his Hungry Arm. He decided not to use Lesser Devour on anything, because his mana was almost empty.
.

pant...
pant...
'Where the heck are they?'
The trail of monster corpses has stopped. Lost knew why this happened.
"I took too long Lesser Devour-ing the corpses!!"
As a result, the players have left his range of corpse-fying defeated monsters, and the defeated monsters turned into white light.
dorodorodorokk!!
"What's that?"
It sounded like falling rocks, big ones at that.
'The cave..?' Lost thought.
He ran towards the source of the sound.
"..!!"
It was the entrance of a cave, however, a pile of large rocks covered it, blocking the entrance. There seemed to be dust in the air, implying that it occured recently.
[You have equipped the characteristic Black Iron Body.]
"Speed Burst."
Pswhew!
Duhmm!
The combo of Black Iron Body and Speed Burst dealt incredible damage to the boulders.
Bakk!
Duhmm!
Bakk!
Duhmm!
Bakk!
Duhmm!
Soon, the blockage was cleared away.
"Whoa, this combo is so OP I almost forgot about how this class caused me suffering at first."
"...almost."
Lost went inside the cave, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"What kind of-"
The cave's interior didn't look like a cave, at all. It looked like a rich person's house. Other than the now destroyed entrance, the rest of the cave looked strangely like the work of modern architecture.
"Huh.."
He continued wandering around and saw a staircase leading downwards. It seemed to be well built, for a supposed 'cave'.
When he finally reached the bottom, he saw a door. It was a metallic door, seemed to be busted open, with scorching marks still visible.
'Did those guys do this?' Lost thought while inspecting the door.
"AAARGHH!!" a scream echoed through whatever was behind the door. Lost recognized this voice, it was the cowboy who mocked him for being level 23.
Lost smiled, but it was only for a minute.
'He's level 82 right? For him to scream... what the hell happened there?'
'Guess there's only one to find out.'
He ran straight inside. It finally looked like a cave, he was relieved. There was signs of combat on the floors and walls.
"Auto, stay there!"
Their voices were now near. But Lost came across a problem, he was met with a fork.
'Left or right... Hmm...'
Lost couldn't decide, so he grabbed a rock from the ground. He took a baseball pitcher's stance, and he uttered two words.
"Speed Burst."
He then threw the rock at an immense speed towards the left path. To which a sound responded.
"Who the fuck threw a rock?!" shouted a voice he didn't know the owner of.
"It's this way."

Azarinth Healer
A new world with nearly unlimited possibilities. A status, classes, magic and monsters. Sounds good? Well, for Ilea it didn't come quite as expected as for some other protagonists, nor was there a king or god to welcome her. The grand quest? Well, she might figure that out someday but for now, a new world with new food is prize enough. Her fists at the ready, she's prepared to punch and get punched, however long it takes and however many limbs she might have to regrow. A story I've started writing now quite a while ago. Transported to another world, somewhat standard fantasy setting with my beginner attempts to make it dark but funny. There are Litrpg elements here but I do hope it's not too heavy and annoying. The fights should be interesting and aren't just numbers vs numbers. Contrary to the title the protagonist will be quite an offensive fighter. Ilea Spears is your average sarcastic kick-boxing fast food worker and soon to be student. She will be transported to another world rather conventionally and will be confronted with survival in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. My experience is incredibly lacking. If you find yourself hating it early on, do convey your anger in a detailed comment or review :) I want to get better but without any feedback it's simply quite difficult. Quick heads up: Around chapter 120 there are a bunch of longer PoV changes that I discontinued again shortly after. The Arc around chapters 150-200 is darker than the rest and the themes shift quite a bit. Just know that it goes back to what you've come to know after that section. Thank you for reading. Quick update June 2019: Many complaints regarding the formatting, specifically spacing in conversations and of course the usage of the present tense in the first 36 chapters have been addressed. I'm of course learning by the day but compared to how it was before it should be an improvement at least. Chapters usually around 3k words Cover art by Kevin Catalan

The Glyph Queen
When Winnie was thirteen, her settlement taught her how to fire a rifle. Her school practiced drills in case raiders came, and the town grew crops in their greenhouse-adapted homes, which were the only places warm enough during the worldwide nuclear winter. The Lakiran empire invades—a corporate-born nation overseen by their corporate-born queen, Victoria Paladino. They ride silent planes whose repulsion field veered bullets away. Three years of occupation later, an exemplar visits—a member of Victoria’s oversight committee rumored to read minds. He tells Winnie that she may have a unique mental power, or a flair. At the empire’s capital, the queen herself tutors Winnie to help her reach the full potential of whatever power she may have. Meanwhile, in post-war Nigeria, a streetwise teenager named Naema sees a different side of the empire. Between corruption and oppression, everyone lives in squaller. People fight over assembled food pastes. She too is told she has a unique flair, not by the empire, but by a fugitive woman who is the last vestige of an ancient witch coven, and she knows a dark secret about what the exemplars do to people like Winnie and Naema. Updates every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The most recent chapters of The Glyph Queen are available on its main website.

New Chapter every day! The Legion Consortia Galacium was the greatest civilization that ever existed. It stretched across the galaxy, made up of more than ten thousand distinct human cultures with over two hundred thousand inhabited worlds. Millenia in age it was connected through a system of extra-spacial conduits called The Mirror Maze. It was said that one could walk from one side of the galaxy to the other in less than a hundred steps. It was a marvel of technology, art and peace. Until The Macros came, and in a blink of an eye it was destroyed. The Macros are beings of pure motivated Trinary code. They broke out of The Mirror Maze nearly instantaneously across the Consortia, inhabiting and taking control of the technologies from the most advanced worlds to the least. With no defenses capable of stopping them, they spread throughout the galaxy, destroying interstellar culture after culture. Far from the center of galactic civilization, The Palmyr Century was isolated enough to get advanced word of The Macro invasion. The Palmyr was able to close it’s Mirror Maze gateways to the rest of the Consortia and walled off i’s populated worlds from the threat of The Macros. For more than two hundred and fifty years this protection stood, until it was breached by Althea Ram. Althea Ram, born on the planet Emerald in Palmyr Century was Trinary coding prodigy. This skill lead her to be recruited by a group, the ZAT, an organization engaged in illegal research into Macro code. When found out, the ZAT was eliminated on orders of The First Centurion. Althea escaped with her newly created AI, Dorian. A fugitive, she found herself betrayed time and time again. Ultimately she joined a group organized by the Rian telepath Shirae Valerian. Shirae made a deal with Althea for her own reasons and provided her with a Mirror Port which would allow her to reach the Lost Worlds outside The Palmyr. While she is driven to discover the secrets of The Macros, Althea is still drawn back to The Palmyr by the unfinished business that has defined her. The Promethead is her story. And inside the Undeniable Labyrinth is where the journey begins.
