---------------------Jonah's POV--------------------
I let out a small sigh when I saw the guild employee looking at me. He was a human man and seemed to be in his early forties, I could see through the glass window that his dark brown hair already started to turn grey in some parts. That was probably because of stress. I wouldn’t call myself a human specialist, but this was an easy case. These employees had to talk to people that could ruin his whole life, just because they didn't like the way you talked to them, so of course the employees were under constant stress. Conquerors, with a high enough level, had enough influence to pressure several different organizations and if there was a company sponsoring them it was already over once the conqueror made the call.
There were several different companies sponsoring conquerors with good initiate skills, they would give them items and social assistance to, for example, raise their popularity or income overall. It was the same system that football players had to wear the logo of their sponsors on their jerseys, it was the perfect walking ad. The conquerors just had to say who their sponsor is in several interviews etc. The conqueror in question just had to sign a contract, that in most cases, said that some percent of the gold and items from dungeons would go to the company and the company has some influence in the conqueror overall. These companies would then form parties from those people and use them to influence the media etc. Most companies have a good reputation, but some companies even scammed the conquerors, that didn't get a contract from another company, to sign a contract with bullshit conditions like 80% of the gold and items to the company or some other stuff. Well, I didn't even get one of those contracts, because my initiate skill was completely useless in combat, but still.
The guild employee was wearing the blue-suit guild uniform and his eyes seemed to sigh in relief when he inspected me, so I inspected him too.
Audie Johnston Level 17 - initiate skills 1 - Human General information - Official guild employee, former conqueror.
A blue box then appeared above his head and I read it, and of course his damn name was colored "dangerous". Even the system told me I was weak. For him a must have looked like this.
Jonah Bellwood Level 5 - initiate skills 1 - Human General information - Works as a courier for the guild.
My name didn't even have a damn color. I was just a weak as fuck courier working for the guild. There were colors that the system used to categorize the danger of higher level individuals. It ranged from no color to green to orange to red and then to purple. My name didn't have a color and his was orange, so I was weaker than him for sure. He sighed in relief because he didn't have to be scared of me. Not that I would want people to be scared of me, but I at least want them to not think of me as a weakling...

When I reached the opening of the window, the man said, with a business like smile and deep and smooth voice, "Welcome to the Frontline-guild, how can I help you?"
I pushed my dark thoughts back into mind and powered the positive side of me. I showed a friendly smile and answered in my own, not as deep and smooth, but youthful and warm voice, "Hello, I would like to do a quest"
The employee looked at me skeptically but still asked, "Do you have a party, do you want to join one or do you want to do it alone?"
I ignored his look and answered, "I don't have a party and want to join one"
"Then please put your personal terminal into the designated slot below the window in front of you", I did as I was told and then waited for a bit. After a minute or so of waiting, the employee nodded and asked, "Okay, Mr. Bellwood, what kind of quest would you like to do?"
"I want do the mining quest in the dungeon I saw on the terminal just a minute ago."
"Alright, there is a quest in 2 hours and they still need someone to carry the mana stones, do you want to do this one or wait for another?"
"I will take that one, yes. I also have some mana stones from gate 3 I had to bring here today, can I finish the job right here?"
The employee seemed to check the supplies scheduled for today. When he found the job with my name he nodded and said, "Of course you can, but where are they if I might ask?"
"Right here", I said while using my initiate skill dimensional storage. Right next to my right opened a purple rift in space. I put my arm into it and pulled a iron briefcase out of it, the portal then closed again and I faced the employee. The employee seemed to be shocked but his smile never faded from his face. He was a veteran at his job, just like his grey hair teased. Why couldn't I ever meet someone that already knows my skill and get over with it? At least there was a high change of meeting the veteran again.
Everyone that got the system has their own initiate skills. Initiate skills could range from normal elemental skills, like fireball or ice spear, to invisibility or one like my own dimensional storage. One could have 1 - 3 initiate skills. Initiate skills usually awaken when someone reached "pre-adulthood" which was the age of 16 for humans. When their age reached 16, they would then awaken 1 - 3 initiate skills. There were better and worse initiate skills. These skills were not unique, so someone on earth could have a dimensional storage too, but it would be very, very, very difficult to find someone in billions that has the same 3 initiate skills as someone else with 3 of them, same for someone with 2 initiate skills. These skills seemed to be there to help the people fight against the monsters and fight for their survival.

Someone that was already above the age of 16 when the system came, would only awaken 1 initiate skill at the start, but these people could still awaken 1 - 2 more if they instinctively use them in certain situations. One could for example awaken a calculator initiate skill while trying not to get scammed or something similar. I tried a lot of different methods but I never got another initiate skill. I was close to giving up several times, but I never gave up in the end. I had to make money, how could I make the most money? By being a conqueror of course, so I always trained with my rusty iron sword every day when I had time, so that when I would one day awaken my skills I could start going into the dungeons and earn money for my family.
I put the briefcase into the opening of the window and the employee said, "Thank you, I signed the job certificate as a proof of having received the delivery. I uploaded the quest information into your terminal with the information you would need to finish the quest. Is there something else I could do for you?"
I smiled and answered, "No thank you, that would be all."
"Alright then, have a nice day.", said the employee with a final smile before looking down at the counter again.
I then took my terminal from the counter and turned around to leave, just as I turned around both doors opened and a big man slowly entered. When I meant big I meant big as fuck. The man was at least 4 m high and almost 2 m wide. What the hell? The air around him seemed to be heavy and suffocating and it was like the time in the guild seemed to stop and everyone stopped talking or moving and were looking at the man. The man wasn't wearing a helmet, so I could see his face. His green skin, arms that reached his knee joints, his upper body that seemed to big for his shorter than normal, but still strong as hell, legs. His whole body was covered in golden armor and the only point that wasn't covered by it was his head.
Did someone invite Hulk? Not that I would ever say that out loud, but now it made sense that the doors were so damn high and wide, there were guys like this Hulk right here. He was one of the nameless aliens, probably a high ranking one. The man walked in like he owned the place, which he probably did, and said with a deep voice that shocked me to the core, "Hello, gentleman. I heard someone did something bad in one of my bars down the entertainment street, so I came to talk to him"
He was looking around and was likely searching for the person in question. Even though I knew it wasn't me, I started to sweat and was trying to make my presence seem as small as possible, which seemed to be the case for everyone inside this building. The small part of my mind that wasn't crying for Thor to get down here right now, inspected him.
Astaad Level 117 - initiate skills 3 - Nameless species #14862
General information - High ranking guild official, active outland-conqueror.
The rest of my mind then started sending out mental calls to spider man, while 1% kept on watching him walk to the tables. He sat down at one of the grey iron tables in the back, in front of him were sitting 3, drunk and scared, black haired men. "Ahh, there you are. My friend... Ryogi" Astaad said with a friendly smile, while likely reading the name of the man he just inspected.
After my own inspection I could tell that the man in the middle was Ryogi, the man on the left was called Kazuki and the man on the right was called Rei, they were all around level 20. They seemed to be Japanese and were happily drinking alcohol until Hulk walked in.
Language in itself, vanished with the system. Everyone, that was using the system was talking and writing in the same language, which seemed to be English, but I had no idea. After the system came I was just able to read and hear everything, even if it was in another language before, like it was in English to me. But if I want to, I could still watch Anime with subtitles and Japanese voices. It was strange in itself, but everything that was from or was in contact with the system was strange, I mean look at Hulk right here.
Ryogi started to sweat and you could see it slowly flowing down his now pale face. Even though he was drunk, he knew not to be rude to the "friendly" Hulk.
Astaad towered the man even while sitting at the table and said, "I heard you hit one of my employees. He had several broken ribs and we had to call an emergency healer to heal his wounds, else he would have died..." His smile was now gone and he was looking Ryogi right into his eyes while towering above him. It looked funny from my view but I highly doubt that Ryogi was having fun right now.

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey
Fang is a simple cat. Fang likes napping in the sun. Fang does not like being called Chairman Meow. Fang likes his belly being scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds. Fang does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang likes hunting and killing defenseless wildlife. Fang does not like mysterious blue boxes that appear out of thin air. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. A few things to note: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that's not going to change any time soon. No cat girl evolution or possessed puppet or any of that. The slice of life tag is there for a reason. There is no epic tale here, only a cat doing cat things in a (hopefully) interesting setting. The game elements are pretty light, mostly there for flavor, so don't expect a huge amount of crunch. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
