《Re: Rise of a Side Character》Prologue
Advertisement
I Died, I most certainly died.
I have from a young age belived that death is the end; no heaven, no hell, no samsara. Just death. The disappearance of mind, rotting of flesh, decay of bones and eventual death of existance. I thought I had denied relegion after what it had done to my family.
That is why I'm slightly annoyed at my self right now.
WELCOME TO THE AFTER DEATH!
When I saw the obnoxiously big words, and I mean so big that it transends imagination, I felt happy that there was something after death, relieved even. To me who had prided himself in doing what he says he will and not breaking morals, this was dissapointing. I was dissapointed in myself.
'I guess there's a limit to resolve when it comes to death'
As a modern man living in south Croydon, death is a foreign concept to me anyway, or was anyway. The closest I've come to death was when I saw my Grandfather's dead body (natural causes). I think that renforced my fear of death, instead of praying for his soul like the rest of my highly religious family I started to continue my karate practise in ernest, so not to die in a mugging.
THIS IS THE FIRST SOMEONE REACTED LIKE THIS!
'Shut it'
Ironicly it was my karate practice that lead to my death. Well not exactly but it was related.
Walking home from college during early december, the brave hero hears a damsel in distress. Rushing to the noise in hope for a girlfriend, he finds a man pushing down a women, a woman being pushed down and various other nefarious looking men guarding the area.
You spot a "Rape?" scene.
Fight?
Run?
Hide?
Call for help?
Normally you pick one of the last 3 when you see a group, but seeing a women treated badly brings back bad memories and the recent karate practise had strengthened me. So I charge.

Do I die fighting the flunkies? No they were quite weak. Do I die being stabbed from behind after letting down my guard? No I'm not stupid. A falling meteor? Wish I was.
After felling the brute pushing down my prospect girlfriend... The bitch pulls out a knife and stabs me... repeatedly.
"IwasgoingtokillhimIwasgoingtokillhimIwasgoingtokillhimIwasgoingtokillhimIwasgoingtokillhimIwasg..."
Bat shit crazy ho, I didn't even kill him!
Anyway
Monologue over
'Sorry you can speak now'
...
'Heyyyy~'
*Oumm*
Pick one dipshit, not many get to Plane:
Oya? Did I make it angry?
Thinking/zooming in on the [Plane] many more words appeared before me: [Voldtranger] [Gulvine] [Upyouranus] [Bulvikar] [Rashmon]... mostly bullshit but there were some I recognised: [Cocytus river] [Purgatory] [Tartarus] [Naraka] [Niflheim] [Gehenna] [Underworld]... and a few that I couldn't pick: [Nivarna] [Womb Realm] [Diamond Realm] [Kunlun Fen][Heaven Lake] [Cakravāla Heaven] and many more.
Looking at the ones I could not pick, I noticed that they shone brighter than others. It was not that big of a diference, infact is was a very small diference, only when you compared them to the crap like [Tartarus] and [Gehenna] do you notice it. Obviosly the stuff I could not pick were good stuff so I searched for something that was just below them in brightness.
I took my time. Found a handfull of words that were satisfactory but unfortunatly I didn't recognise them. Seeing as no one was stopping me I continued searching for one I knew.
Eventually I came across a curious one.
[Narutoverse]
Thinking of checking the details I zoomed in on it.
*Oumm*
Lol Plane: Narutoverse
Honestly... I just wanted to check.

Advent: Red Mage
Book 1 and 2 of the Redmage series are being published on Amazon Kindle Unlimited. Due to the exclusivity clause, I have been forced to take down the vast majority of the book. You can read book one here. Book two here.Drew Michalik was working in a top-secret facility in Washington, D.C. when the Advent began. As all electronics in the world simply ceased to work, blue screens filled with information appeared before him. Drew gained access to a mana interface and a limited number of reality-altering crystals called Xatherite. Following the instructions on his vision-impairing screens, he ‘slotted’ his Xatherite and changed his fate: he gained the ability to cast spells. Now alone in the dark, he must battle through the government bunker-turned-dungeon in a desperate bid for survival. Escape is only the beginning; the first of his many problems in the changed world. Drew will be tasked to not only survive… but to guide the rest of humanity safely through the anarchy. Light LitRPG elements, no harem. Updates on Monday.

The Girl in the Abyss
Synopsis: The mysterious force known only as "God's Guidance" implemented a game-like system and rebuilt the planet using continents from five different worlds. Join Ellie, a young girl whose soul is filled with an ocean of love and trust. No matter how horrendous the circumstance or dreadful the suffering her kindness manages to shine through, but everyone breaks eventually. Watch as the horrors of reality slowly chip away at a pure soul until nothing but a monster remains and follow her down the path of despair as she finds a reason to live. ‘Our fate is one that always leads to suffering, but you can smile, I’ll shoulder everything else.’ Warning 1: This story covers very mature themes which I have listed here: Torture of a child (The MC is the victim), death, killing, slavery, and light gore. Nothing sexual ever occurs to the main character. Warning 2: This is another apocalyptic LitRPG, has a brokenly OP MC, bad writing, horrible grammar, and garbage sentence flow. It is my first attempt at writing a story since grade school. Inspired by my four favorite stories: Overlord, CLANNAD, The Arcane Emperor, and Tokyo Ghoul. A note by me: This is not a world domination story or an action story. There is fighting but it's not the focus. Another note by me: This is a work in progress. I’ll likely go back and change stuff a lot. The cover art is by a friend who has encouraged me since the start. Releases: Volume two will not be out anytime soon sadly. I apologize for the Hiatus.

Reinstating her as a divine is a difficult task: Faith has to naturally emerge from within, upon miracles and unexplainable. Legacy has to be built and myths born, not spoon-fed, because otherwise it would just be as any other forgettable fictions.
