《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?

‘Well, I suppose I should get started. Complaining is getting me anywhere, and who knows it might be fun… maybe. Ok stop. It will be fun, ill make it fun. Let’s start, yes.

‘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.’

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.

Valor and Violence
Valor and Violence is a series of short stories following different, yet all equally colourful, characters set in the same world. Birth of a Legend, the first short, follows Captain Erskine Erwell, a newly promoted Captain in the Calandorian Royal Navy, charged with protecting his people from all who would do them harm. Great news for the Calandorian citizens, bad news for the Skjar reavers that ravage the shores in search of slaves. But when a small reaver fleet slips the net and escapes to the southern jungles of Marduk, Erwell must fight a war on two fronts; one against the raiders, and a far more difficult war against the hostile landscape. If he can't find allies in this strange land, he may end up being the one in need of saving. The first part of the second short story will be uploaded on Saturday, the 11th of June, following Ferez Ahud, an aspiring young battlemage charged with the unsavoury job of 'terminating' a rogue member of his college. But how this nobody of a mage became a fugitive remains a mystery, and when the answer is discovered, the tables are turned and the hunter becomes the prey. I'll be uploading chapters of more in-universe short stories each week or as close to, work permitting. Content Guidelines: course language and violence

Defenders of Fantasmyth
DROPPED: this story is unfinished and will likely remain that way. If you are looking for quality work that is still being updated, you're better off checking out my fanfiction. No, really. That wasn't a joke. Jakyra, a young-adult coairse* dragon with an affinity for wordplay and skill in fighting, is a pest to her government the Dragon Crown. This odd relationship leads her to make contact with a long-lost magical, draconic construct of great renown called Ismat, leading up to a string of bizarre, humorous, and troublesome events. Chance brings together the impulsive dragon, her quiet, resolute elven friend Sauda, amiable, honor-seeking dwarf Gunnar, and the construct Ismat. The Omniguards, Defenders of Fantasmyth, are born. *No, that is not a typo.
