《The Rise Of The Death God》Halfway point
Advertisement
"So Sashimi, wanna join me?" Chibi asked. Currently, Chibi had little power alone and had to get the alternative and just as an effective resource: Manpower.
"Uhhhhh… Sure, why not? I don’t have anyone at home, and I don't think I’d be able to survive this apocalypse by myself anyway,” he answered. He felt moved that Chibi asked him to join, as well as proud.
Chibi was happy with the response. "Hehehe... I believe we’ll have a lot of fun in the future, Sashimi.”
They went around hunting a few more groups of goblins that had appeared in the area until the sun started to set.
"Ok Chibi but why, do we need to go somewhere else?"
"Let's go back to my base first, Sashimi. I'll tell you later" Chibi said. His muscles began to become sore once more, and he didn’t want to push himself too hard.
"Alright, bud." Sashimi said, exhaustedly.
The way to Chibi's house was deserted by both humans and monsters. It wasn’t strange considering most had fled the area or had been killed already by the duo.
If anyone saw them right now, they would be scared. Sashimi barely had any of the goblin blood on him as he was only at a distance. Chibi, on the other hand, was covered in goblin blood head to toe.
Quickly going to Chibi's house, they stuffed as many important things as they could in their backpacks.
After resting for some time, they returned to the streets.
"Ok Sashimi, let's go to your home and get some other things from there."
"Alright, let’s go."
Sashimi led the way to his home while asking Chibi for the hundredth time again.
"So why do we need to switch bases, Chibi?"
"Ok, so we need a base that is outside of town because we need to eliminate all chances of external forces affecting us like the government bombing the town, or a sudden horde of monsters spawning.”

"Ahh alright, but do you even know where we can find such a base because I certainly don't know any locations with those requirements, Chibi."
"I have a place in mind, so let's just go to your house and get there tomorrow morning"
"Alright, good idea. I’m already feeling sleepy."
After arriving at Sashimi's house, they washed up. Chibi felt the blessing of taking a shower all over again. It was a miracle the water system still functioned without management. Sashimi and Chibi proceeded to go to sleep after washing up. Chibi took the couch because the house didn’t belong to him, and they both had a good night's sleep.
After a good night's sleep, Chibi woke up to the smell of food. He groggily rubbed his eyes and looked towards the kitchen to see Sashimi making some soup.
"Ah, you woke up, Chibi? Good, wash up, and come back here. The food is almost ready."
"Alright, I’ll be back in 5 minutes.”
After quickly washing up and snapping out of his drowsy self, he walked back to the kitchen and sat down at the table that was already prepared.
"It's only some canned soup, but it should fill us up so that we can go find that new base," Sashimi said while smiling goofily.
Sashimi proceeded to grab the tv controller and turned towards the tv. He continuously pressed the power on button, but the tv only showed a static screen. Sashimi started to mash the power-on button and kept trying to change the batteries of the controller.
“Damn. This thing isn’t working…” He muttered.
"Well, let's just go after we eat," Chibi said after having enough of Sashimi’s shenanigans.
"Alright”
Quickly finishing their soup, they checked their backpacks one last time, took one long last look at Sashimi’s house and walked outside.

"Just follow me, chap. I know a location where we could establish a new base"
"Just lead the way bud."
Walking for almost two hours while taking some breaks in between and occasionally fighting a group of goblins or hobgoblins, they finally managed to reach the halfway point.
A run down farm that was ravaged from the looks of it. There was a horse stable near the barn and the place stinked of animal feces..
"Some goblins probably destroyed this farm, let's just hope that we can find some horses and food," Chibi said.
"Chibi why do we need horses? Wouldn't a car be faster?" Sashimi asked.
“Even though a car is faster, it doesn't have the same flexibility as a horse. I mean you can't expect us to go through a forest with a car, do you? And if we’re really desperate, then the horses can be… emergency rations to put it nicely”
“Chibi, that's really disgusting, but I can see your point with the forest. Let’s just hope that we’ll never have to eat them.”
“It’s not hope, it’s called preparing for the worst which is something you’ll have to adapt to. Anyways, we need to find some horses so that we could outrun these damn monsters. By the way, do you know how to ride a horse?”
“Of course I know how to ride a horse. My father taught me,” Sashimi stated, looking really smug about that fact.
“Yeah yeah, your daddy teaches you everything right? Daddy this, daddy that. Let’s just go search for these horses.”
Looking through the farm, they eventually found the horses in the stable. The horses looked starved and some were already dead. Only 5 Horses were still remaining. Also, one horse was missing.
“Quick, let’s give them some food and water Chibi.”
“I guess we could spare them some of our rations. After all, the dead horses could be used as food for us. Wait a second, don’t horses eat grass, Sashimi? Plus, I am sure there’s water from the morning dew they can drink. Are you thinking properly?!”
“Oh. I forgot about that. Let’s just put them outside. They’ll have all the grass in the world.”
“Let's search for a well or something. The dew won't be enough for the horses. Also, let’s ask the owner if we can stay.” Sashimi said.
“What do you mean to ask? Dude, have you not learned anything? The world’s been thrown into madness. Asking is for losers, scavenging is for survivors. Plus, I’m sure he’s dead anyways,” Chibi berated.
Geez. This guy’s too naive for his own good. Fuck, I might even have eat him if it comes down to it. At least, he can be somewhat useful to me then.
“Alright. Chibi, let’s just go search for a well or something. Maybe the owner has some food in his house?”
“Dude, he is the food.”
“Chibi”
“Yeah”
“You won’t eat me, will you?” Sashimi looked really pathetic as he asked that question.
“If you're not helpful, then I’ll do whatever I want.” Chibi retorted without so much as a hint of hesitation. Chibi walked off as Sashimi felt a shiver run through his body.
“I really shouldn't piss Chibi off, or else I’ll become the food,” Sashimi thought as he hurriedly rushed to catch up with Chibi.

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
