《Author Vs Protagonist》Chapter 1: Author

“It’s freaking cold”, an average middle-aged man complained.
He was on his way to work. As he did not have a car, he had no choice but to walk early morning to make it in time.
“Damn it, why do I need to go to work now of all days?”, the middle-aged begrudgingly man said.
His name is Zhang Wei, 35 years old and obviously a virgin . He is just an average person. Average looks, average work, average salary, average name (Zhang Wei is a very common name in China). His whole being is average.
“Why do I live like this, God just kill me already”, he said as he was crossing the street.
As if his prayers were answered a truck was speeding straight in the middle of the street, heading straight towards him.
Zhang Wei being the average person he is just stared at the truck. His pants wet from piss and he completely froze. In less than an instant he reflected on his life. He had accomplished nothing, his whole life was average.
In middle school his peers all ignored him, in high school he was constantly bullied until he drowned himself in light novels. After that he got a job at a sh*tty company with a lower salary than his co-worker just because his co worker had a more decent face.
“My life is going to end just like this?”
He grimaced in his heart. “Well f*cking fine then, I’ll take this time to curse everybody out. Screw you Qi Jian, you think I forgot that you stole my milk in middle school you piece of sh*t. Screw you too Ju Zhi, you think I didn’t realize that you’re the one who spread rumors that I was gay. I didn’t get laid a single time in my pathetic life.”

As he was in a state of consciousness where time seemingly passed by at a million times the normal speed. He was cursing almost everybody he had met. Until finally he said, “And most of all F*ck you God!”.
And finally, he closed his eyes. The truck came and he passed.
–
“Oi wake up”, Zhang Wei heard a voice.
He opened his eyes and saw a man sitting on a chair staring at him. The man had an amazingly beautiful face equalling the hottest actor in the world. He was covered in a pure white robe and had a trace of elegance on him.
Zhang Wei’s mind was still blank. He then suddenly realized that he was inside a small white room. This room was encompassed by a bright light that was not even slightly blinding.
“Oi, can’t you hear me?”, The man’s voice sounded. Zhang Wei immediately snapped back to reality.
“Where am I?”, he squeaked softly. He appeared calm on the outside. However, inside his head he was beyond panicked.
“The f*ck? Did I not f*cking get hit by truck-kun? And who the F*ck is this man. He’s too pretty, I hate him already.” A million thoughts went through his head. However, he could not even voice a single one.
“You are in the waiting chamber.” The man calmly explained, “Your death was actually a mistake, you were actually supposed to leap out of the way before the truck hit you. I however did not factor in that you were that useless.”
“WTF! How did you expect me to leap away when a truck was inches away from me?”, Zhang Wei shouted in is head. He then thought, “Damn, I just had to curse everyone at that time, no wonder time was so freaking slow, I could have just simply moved.”

“I even gave you [Accelerated Consciousness] to ensure you had plenty of time. Who would have thought that you would just stood there.” The man continued without stopping.
At this time Zhang Wei could not handle it anymore, he immediately snapped at the man, “What the f*uck do you mean I should have dodged? You expect a normal human to take action when a motherf*ucking truck is inches away from his face?”
The man’s expression did not change. He nonchalantly said, “Well how was I suppose to know you were so useless.”, he then immediately said, “Anyway, since your death was an accident I want you to participate on a little game.”
“What game?”
“Simple, I just want you to go to another world and follow everything I say. I will dictate your life and forge a compelling story from it.”, the man spoke with enthusiasm.
“How the heck are you going to do that?”, Zhang Wei was bewildered, this man was clearly a lunatic, but Zhang Wei was confused that he didn’t even bother that the man was speaking crazily.
“Well, you did curse at me a few moments before your death.”, without letting Zhang Wei reply, he shouted, “Alright then, time for your rebirth.”
“Wait what?! What a mome-.”
Before Zhang Wei could finish talking he was enveloped in a bright light and passed out again.
–
“Zhang Wei woke up from his slumber. He looked around him in confusion. However, he was not anxious, although he was a worthless virgin in his previous life, he was deter-“. A voice sounded inside Zhang Wei’s head.
“Hold on just a freaking moment.”, Zhang Wei has been listening to this voice in his head and got increasingly annoyed at the remark at the end. “Who are you?”.
“I had said this before I will dictate the way you live, and will forge an amazing saga about a man who went from worthless to a big shot. Oh and by the way, you can call me Author.” The voice rang

Mana Soul
Like many others across the multiverse, Markus was chosen as this world's hero to fight against the steadily approaching cataclysm. Only, something went horribly wrong. Left with only a handful of memories, Markus has spent years clawing his way up from poverty and officially registered as an adventurer to try and make his fortune. Unfortunately, Artificers are the least combat-capable class of the four classes, and Markus has no connections to join an established party. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, a chance meeting will determine the course of a war nearly as old as reality itself. Warning: Markus has trauma induced amnesia and will occasionally 'act out of character' or make 'poorly thought out' decisions. These events are rather obvously telegraphed abd represent conflicts between his current personality and the one repressed alongside his trauma. Just something to bear in mind.The story will bounce predominantly back and forth between the primary protagonists every couple of chapters. The time stream is linear, so events are not revisted/rehashed/retold through the narrative format. Characters may comment on something that has occurred, but that's different. Just giving a heads up.Chapters will be around 7-9k and updated 1/week on the same schedule as my other story Ogre Tyrant over the weekend.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Era: Dawn of the New Gods
Concise Synopsis: This is a post-apocalyptic story about the origins of various powerful figures that appeared after the apocalypse event. During the apocalypse monsters appeared possessing powers and constitution beyond the limits of human understanding. They ravaged the world and brought down all governments. The first part of the story follows Jade, a terrorist that was ravaging the world before the monsters arrived. Dramatic Synopsis: The New Gods, the most feared and revered beings on the planet. They are forces capable of absolute destruction and creation. The Council of Branches Hayley, the Living Lie (if that is her real name) Chao Feng, the Prince of Stars Lara, the Mother of Heroes The Great City of Tver Gog, the Ever Losing War The Unkillable Freak Dave, the Flow Demon Avatari, (only the name is known) Satoshi, the Gentle Hurricane As Impactful as they are no one knew their origin, they are called the New Gods so there must be Old Gods. I and my collegues dedicated our lives to finding their origins only to find out that the beings we fear and adore were once like us, average, mortal and weak... at least most of them were. *It is a sort of reverse RPG as no one knows anything either skills, abilities or how the system works but they find out on their own or develop their own skills or abilites. *The story has many protagonists and point of views but it paints a beatiful story of survival in a world of endless perils for both the humans and the monsters(some monsters are protagonists). *There is a system but it is very limited (not overpowered) and treats everyone equally, monster or human. The system is very different from regular systems; no exp, levels and system items. *The story is a world building story where overall, the world is the true main character. The cover image photo is credited to Angel David *For now it's one chapter a day

Medieval Terror
[Trickle! Trickle!] Blood… Pure unfiltered blood. Thick wetness of inhumane variety was drowning the contours of my defiled countenance with crimson slick. My warrior’s mien was brutally decorated with the vile viscera and entrails of the dead. Scattered all around me was a large pile of corpses floating in the bloodthirsty puddle of the afterlife. Accompanying my rest within this detestable domain was a rapacious array of lord Beelzebub’s kin. A swarm of black motile embodiment capable of aerial drifts made my bloody appearance barely visible. [Buzz! Buzz!] I was dead yet living, I could travel between the broken realms of existence and meddle with the vengeful souls. Such was possible by virtue of my life that had succumbed to the Lure of Enigma. The bizarre events that unfolded which brought me to this destitute phase of utter dysphoria was a mixture of tales that will leave a distasteful flavour of doleful buds on your tongue. If you wish to know more about my apocalyptic journey then feel free to turn the pages of my undying path. However, I must warn you, inquisitive readers. My legendary tale might cause your weak constitution to become cripple, hence read at your own peril.
