《Adventures of a Reluctant Pacifistic Monster》Ch.1 The Black Couch
Advertisement
Where you ever in a point in life where everything was going fine. Like nothing magical was happening to you but you also weren’t cursing the universe.
I was at that place. I had a stress-free job that got the bills paid, with some money left over to spend on whatever I liked. My apartment was great, and I would mostly spend my free time there just lazing around watching TV or reading a book.
Life was good, but that all changed.
As he was laying on his bed, reading on the phone his bed started to shake. It got stronger and stronger until he started to freak out. Earthquakes are common for him, but he had never felt one so powerful before. He was just going to ignore it until it passed but it kept on getting stronger and it didn’t seem like it was going to stop anytime soon. So, he finally got up and tried to find cover under his bed only for a bookshelf to tip over, crushing him in the process.
And that was it, that’s the last thing he remembers. Or it be if hadn’t woken up in a bright white room.
‘What the hell…’ he thought as started looking around trying to figure out what was happening. He checked himself out and he seemed fine, not even remotely injured by the falling bookshelf. Looking around again he could see that the room seemed to go on forever. It seemed infinitely huge while also making him feel claustrophobic.
He had to stop looking around, so he focused on the only thing in the room, a large black couch. The intense black color seemed to complement the room nicely and well it helped him ignore the anxiety he was developing.
‘Ok, I’m dead’ was the only thing he could think of, how else could I have gotten here. After he started to calm down from his anxiety attack, he noticed that nothing had changed.
He decided to do the only thing he could, investigate the mysterious couch. At least that would give him something to do. As he walked around the thing nothing happened so he did the only thing you can do with a couch, he sat on it. It was incredibly comfortable and as he sank down into the cloud like cushions a giant screen appeared in front of him.

Hello!
If you are seeing this then you are one lucky fellow!
You will have the opportunity to be part of a very exclusive club…
The One More Chance club!!!
He was shocked by the sudden appearance of what seemed to be a screen. After a while of opening and closing his eyes, he started to rub them until he was sure he wasn’t hallucinating.
‘What the… I guess I really am dead, but what the hell is this?’ The one more chance club, does that mean I’m going to reincarnate like in that book my nephew gave me?’
Bingo!
Now let’s get to it!
All you must do is answer a few questions and then…
The FUN can begin!!!
Any Questions?
“Wait! are you a real person…’
OK!!! So, no questions, good!
Have FUN!!
“Wait! Damn it! I have like a million questions!” he yelled but nobody answered. The words, from whoever that was, had disappeared from the screen only to be replaced by others.
After yelling a bit more he couldn’t help but sigh in resignation as he sank more into the couch. He focused his attention back at the screen to read the new information.
Would you like to start?

‘So, it just deleted my name, race, and gender. Awesome, that seems about right. Do I not at least get a choice in the world I’m going to? That’s to bad, it would be great to go to a utopia where everyone was happy, nice and problems could be solved with the power of friendship. But no such luck. At least I can pick my new race… god dammit! What’s with these choices!
Porcupine Type Monster
Bobcat Type Monster
Bunny Type Monster
“Son of a …” what the hell should I choose! They all suck!

Please Chose a Race
He started to sigh and gave up once the message reappeared. He knew that he had to pick one, he didn’t have another choice.
‘Ok, so picking the bunny’s out of course. That just leaves me with the other two. The bobcat seems like the stronger choice but I’m not a great fighter. Also, I was allergic to meat when I was human so… I hope that won’t get carried over. For my first-time eating meat to be when its raw and blooded, yeah, no thanks.
How about a porcupine. They’re nice and have lots of quills to stab any other animals that may want to attack me. I can also hide in some trees and eat all the tasty fruits and plants I can find. Yup, lets go with the porcupine.’

Tutorial Complete
You are now ready to commence your new life.
But before you are reborn would you like to spin the WHEEL OF CHAMPIONS!
Y/N
“HOW WAS THAT A TUTORIAL!”
He once again sighed in resignation and just decided to get this over with, he had enough.
“Yes, spin the wheel lets get this over with” Once he said that a wheel magically appeared next to him. On the wheel he could see what he assumed to be prizes, like free skills, titles and points. He didn’t even bother to question it; he just gave it a hard push and it started to spin.
As the wheel started to slow down, he saw that it was getting close to the only spot on the wheel he didn’t want it to land on. A big space that just said, “BAD LUCK”. As it stopped there, he couldn’t he but curse. “Of fucken course! How can I have such shitty luck?!”
Ding!
Congratulations!
You have landed on the super special!!! 777 Space
As that space is right in between the Bad Luck Space
You are very Lucky (UNLUCKY)
Finding Rewards…
You’ve Received 777 System Points ANDDDDD….
A NUGET OF TRUTH!!!!
As he read the latest information, he couldn’t figure out how to feel. He wanted to feel happy that he didn’t have to deal with whatever the bad space did, but the badly hidden message didn’t do anything to reassure him. At least he got some system points out of it and whatever the nugget of truth was supposed to be. As he was thinking that the screen reappeared.
You may now use the system shop.
But you should totally check out the nugget of truth first!!!
Enter shop Y/N OR!!!
READ NUGGET OF TRUTH YES! Or YES!
“You Win, just show me the nugget of truth, alright.
Haha!!
Good let me load it right up!!!
This might hurt a bit, but you'll get used to it!!!
(Eventually)
“WAIT, NEVERM…” And that was all he could get out before he blacked out.

Bloody Hell
Alan Maxwell has one exceptional talent. He can read peoples body language and micro expressions so well that, in many cases it's not hard for him to fake being psychic. When a foreign agency decides that said talent would make him an exceptional spy, events quickly begin to spiral out of control. With enemies on all sides, and friends that will as soon kill each other as his enemies, Alan will have to put his skills to the test in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. ===I came up with this story in response to a question. I once asked someone why there weren't really any Yandere harems. I realize that the answer to that is 'everyone dies' but thats boring so... here we are. A story I came up with explicitly as an excuse to create a harem entirely out of obsessive psychopathic axe murderers. Or in other words - "What happens to Bond girls when they disappear?"As a warning, there are sex scenes. Its tagged. I'll leave an authors note at the top of any chapter that has them if you'd prefer to skip it.
8 173Taken : New Beginnings
It is summer, 2016. On this fateful Sunday, the world is shook when an announcement - in the form of a blue screen, nothing less - appears in front of every human being on Earth. This announcement is both the ending of an era, and the beginning of a new one. Join our main charachter, James, on his induction into a whole new world and the wider universe. In the world of Terrae, there are infinite possibilities. Swords, bows, magic and more all exist on this world - complete with fantasy-esque races and monsters. In a RPG-like environment, James and the others from his world must grow and adapt fast or fall before the hordes of monsters infesting their new home. What path to power will James take, in a world of infinite possibilities? Who will he become? What has become of Earth and it's other inhabitants - His family? Follow James in his journey to discover these things himself, as he has no clue either. After all, he has just been Taken from his world, and is expected to adapt and thrive in a whole new place. Good luck to him, anyway! All credit for the awesome cover goes to ssddx, who did a brilliant job putting it together, as I'm sure you can all see! I will note that, as pretty much all LitRPG novels have, that, to a certain extent, I have taken inspiration from other works I have read. This, however, is an original fiction. I hope any and all of you who read this fiction enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoy writing it, and please feel free to comment - I recognice that this will need work and will have things like typos - please feel free to point out any obvious things I forget about or miss out, as well as any typos. Also, feel free to lob suggestions my way if you have any - while I may not use them, they could very well inspire me in some way or another and help me improve this fiction, even if just by a little bit.

8 117Truthful Transmigration
Schedule: 1 Chapter each of Tuesday/Friday John Miller was a fairly normal young man, working hard to support a family that had run into many financial difficulties. Unfortunately, his unexpected death ends his difficult but mundane life. He is quite surprised to find himself waking up alive… but not himself. Fortkran Tenebach is… or was… the young master of a cultivation clan in another world. John barely even knows anything about cultivation- even in the theory of something vaguely like it- but he has to make his way with the memories of his new body. His new family isn’t as close as his old one was… but he can’t help but want to be honest with them. He is quite certain that they notice his sudden change in personality among other things, and confesses what happened in a move that ultimately he expects to be fatal. Quite surprisingly, his family instead breathes a collective sigh of relief that the old Fortkran is dead. This leaves John to take over his duties… including cultivation, though he has to start from the beginning and isn’t sure he won’t make some massive mistake.
8 244Episode 2: SPAWN
A vampire was destroyed in the city of Two Rivers.
