《Rising of Voltigod》Chapter 1
Advertisement
[Location: Outer Treskiri, Chaos Farlands]
[Date: ??/??/????]
In a center of a certain hill that is surrounded by plains that are 100 of km wide, lies an egg.
That egg is very large, compared to normal eggs from Earth, it is half a meter in height and quarter of a meter wide.
The egg is of a black color, but not normal black. That color is so black that it itself may be from the Abyss below Treskiri.
Suddenly, on the egg, a small crack appeared, right on the top.
That crack was pure white, glowing, totally contrary to what some would expect from the pure black egg.
From that small crack other started appearing, connecting with each other.
In a span of a few seconds cracks were everywhere on the egg, but the egg as a whole was still intact.
Few minutes passed in silence as the egg remained the same as before, still full of cracks but not breaking.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, black clouds started appearing above the hill where the egg resides.
They all were moving to the point exactly above the egg, merging with other clouds until only one, very dense black cloud remained.
That black cloud suddenly had multiple lighting sparks merging together right above the egg.
When they merged, a huge lighting strike that is as wide as an entire hill hit the egg.
The hill and all the surroundings up to 100 meters away from the egg began to burn.
It was a blazing inferno that didn't spare any living being that was in it.
But suprisingly the egg was intact, not even moving an inch from its original spot, not damaged at all.
After a few minutes, the fire suddenly stopped and the circle of 100m was black due to blazing inferno, with nothing being spared.
Right at the center of that circle was the egg, still completely intact, still full of cracks like before.
Suddenly, everything that was black, like ashes, burnt skin and bones started moving towards the egg at the center.
All the blackness that was moving towards the egg started returning the landscape that it was on to its original shape and color, like the blazing inferno never happened.
When the blackness touched the egg, it dissapeared inside the egg.
When all the blackness from the surrounding circle got sucked into the egg, the cracks started aplearing again until the egg was glowing white due to cracks, no traces of original black on the egg remained.
Second later, the cracks dissapeared and the black egg was returned to the original shape.
Another second later, a pure black hand broke through the right side of the egg.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Right after I heard that mechanical voice say that I was dead, pure blackness enveloped me.
After that, I lost conciousness and after unknown period of time, I appeared inside some sort of egg shaped object.
Inside it was black, not as pure black as before, but still black.
I could only deduce that since it seems my eyesight is bad inside the egg, or is not just developed enough.
Now that I mention it seems that I was reincarnated as a some sort of a dark dragon ? But I'm still in an egg goddamnit, did that system or whatever lie to me ?!?
Well, no use in bragging, I should try to get out of this egg and see where the hell I am.
Wait.
I am stupid.
If I have a system, shouldn't I be able to see my stats and such? I have read enough novels to know the first things you should do when you're reincarnated is to check your status.
And so I thought about the system itself.
It didn't work.
Hm, maybe if I think of "Status" it will work ?
"Status"
[THE HOST IS CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO SEE ITS OWN STATUS DUE TO IT STILL BEING IN EARLY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT INSIDE A DRAGON EGG]
Alright, so that explains that im inside the dragon egg, altrhough I can form my thoughts, I am still not developed enough it seems ?
And also What the hell ?
Why cant I check my own fricking Status, the hell ?
Well, no use in hitting the egg that I currently cant break from because of anger.
Alrighty then, I will just wait and think what I can do, and from time to time, hit this fricking egg to see if I can escape from it.
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Alright, almost there.."
Some time has passed after I gained my conciousness inside this egg, and I have gained some info regarding... well me.
First of all, it seems that some cracks started appearing out of nowhere inside my egg, mind you they didn't appead from me hitting a goddamn egg thats for sure.
Second, still cant access my Status, but new thing appeared from so called System.
[TIME UNTIL THE DEVELOPMENT ENDS : 4 MINUTES 45 SECONDS REMAINING]
So yeah, I know when I am gonna be free, and it is almost time !!!
And yes, one last thing.
It seems I have almost no memories from my past life.
The exeptions are moment when I was hit by a fucking truck because I saved some girl, maybe it was my girlfriend ? I don't know as of this moment.
I also remember everything right before I died, that mechanical voice spoke inside my head and told me those things.

I also remember the times when I read multiple novels and such, giving me knowledge on how may that System work. Which I can't say im not glad for but why of all things to remember, I remember frickin' me reading novels inside my room ?!
Also I know that I was 18 years old, but suprisingly I don't remember my name, which is sad.
While I am thinking this, I keep hitting the egg from all sides with my fists. All I can say that it... doesn't help much.
Wait, what is happening ?
ALL CRACKS ARE DISSAPEARING WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING ?!?!?!
Ok, calm down, calm down, calm down...
URGHH I HATE THIS !!!
In rage, I move my left fist to the left side of the egg to hit it.
And to my suprise, my fist broke through the egg.
Wait...
THE EGG BROKE !!!
Alright, let's break this son of a bitch and get the hell out of here !
While I am doing that, that mechanical voice started talking again.
[CONGRATULATIONS, THE HOST HAS BROKEN THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE SUCCESFULLY]

Wow... Finally got out of this god forsaken egg...
Wait... Why are there so many notifications !?!?!
Well lemme see... Ok so I broke through and got another Title, which is good, simce I will probably need it..
It seems I am on a continent of Whebub? Whebeb? Ah its Whebab. Its such a hard word to say...
It seems that I am on a hill surrounded by very expansive plains that to my eyes see like it has no end...
Which means that it will be hard to hide except on this hill, which at least will give an High ground if I need to fight a strong monster.
Ah yes, I didn't check my status...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Well, that IS Interesting, to say the least.
Speed is my highest stat, second being Defence, maybe I should focus with that combination ?
No, it would be stupid, increasing my defence probably includes gaining alot of weights, which is automatic removal of speed/defence combo since you can't be fat and be speedy. It almost always never goes well...
Well, I will think about that in the future, since I haven't checked even what my skills and titles do.
But first....
It appears I don't have a name, so I think I should change that.
But how should I name myself...
Out of nowhere, almost immediately thought of a name, like it was meant to be, like I was meant to be named like that... Like I was... that from the beggining
But almost instantly, I forgot that detail except for the name.
I think I got it !
"System, can I name myself "Voltigod"
[SYSTEM IS WAITING FOR A APPROVAL FOR YOUR NAME]
Wait, I need to get my name approved so that I can be named ?!? What the fuck is this bulls*it. And it even makes wait ?
I already hate this...
[YOUR NAME HAS BEEN APPROVED, FROM NOW ON YOUR NAME IS VOLTIGOD]
[REMEMBER, YOUR NAME CANNOT BE CHANGED AFTER YOU'RE NAMED]
Well, atleast it was approved. That's great.
But why do I think I forgot something...
Yeah I don't even know how do I look !
Let's see... I have black hands, it seems I am half a meter tall, the lenght of my tail is somewhat higher than 0.60 meters but I cant tell precisely, I have no wings since I am still a baby dragon, I can walk on four legs it seems, but it is kinda weird, gotta get used to it
And..
Well... That's all I can deduce since I can't see my face. And there is no water in the area so I can't use that see how do I look.
Wait...
There is no water in the area....
WHAT AM I GONNA DRINK IF THERE IS NO WATER ?!?!?
Well there is atleast some potential food in the area in the form of....
"What the fuck is this ?!?"

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
