《Kage System》Volume 1: Chapter 3 Mission Failed?
Advertisement
Zheng began exploring the forest as per his first mission's condition.
The forest was huge. As far as Zheng can see, there are trees, tree, tree, tree. No matter where he looks, the forest was filled with trees. Thick leaves covered the sunlight.
Zheng slowly explored the forest when suddenly he heard the sound of leaves rustling nearby.
"Wh-what is that?" Zheng's body trembled in fear as he quickly hid in the nearby bush. Beads of sweat rolled down from his forehead as he peeks around the area.
What appeared is a red-furred and green-skinned monkey, with a body-build of a gorilla. It has eyes with yellow irides and white pupils, spike-like protrusions along the length of its tails, elongated blunt fangs, and two long horns curving upwards on its forehead like a crown.
The red monkey walked gently into the forest.
Zheng, who was hiding in the bush nearly fainted at the sudden appearance of the red-furred monkey. He gave his best holding his breathing in fear so that the monkey will not notice him. Unexpectedly, the bush rustled. 'Crap!'
"Hmm?" The red monkey's hearing ability is quite good and heard the sudden noise in its surrounding.
"Awoho!" It makes such monkey-like war cry and charges at Zheng's location.
'THIS IS BAD!'
Zheng kicked the ground and ran fast with all his might. "What kind of monkey is that!?" Zheng looked behind him and saw the red-furred monkey following him.
"Awoho!"
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please refrain from doing heavy exercises as this will affect your condition."]
"Exercise? What the fu** are you talking about!? Who's person is in the right mind to exercise in a time like this? The monkey is trying to kill me!" Zheng's endless cursed on the system echoed in the forest.

Zheng had no choice but to ran, his body is weak and there's no way he can fight in his current state. Bruises are all around his body as was continuously hit by the branches and sharp leaves.
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
Endless warning notification keeps ringing in his ear. Zheng's body condition is getting worse. His heart beats wildly. But, Zheng endured it. He ran and ran and ran as he pushed his body to the limit.
Then, as if heaven notice Zheng's perseverance, he heard a notification on his mind.
["Congratulation host! You successfully unlocked the 'Endurance' stats!"]
["Your stamina is fully recovered."]
["Congratulation host! You ran 1,000 meters without stopping! You successfully earned the passive skill Swift and was added to your skills list."]
Zheng felt refresh as if he was not tired at all! His breathing recovered back to normal. Sadly, Zheng still saw his injury.
He ran again and again as the red-furred monkey followed him. The red-furred monkey was also tenacious as it continuously rampages in the forest. Zheng tried his best, changing his track as he ran around the forest. He used the trees to his advantage to avoid the sneaky monkey.
For more than an hour, Zheng escaped successfully by the threat of the red-furred monkey.
"Aghhhh!" Zheng's body was again hit its limit as he collapsed on the ground.
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
["Warning! You're running out of breath. Please..."]
"What a rough day... red monkey... what kind of forest is this?"
Zheng complained. Fortunately, the breezed of the flowers around the area makes his mind calm.
Moments later.
["Warning! You need to rest or else, you die."]
"I'm fu*** resting!"
Zheng shouted as he poured out everything he had on that one. In one day, Zheng cursed so much that he never did in his previous life.
Just like a snap of a finger, Zheng's vision went blank and passed out.
His first mission never went smoothly.
Unknown location inside the forest, the mighty red-furred monkey was actually enjoying its food as it lied down on the ground. Its four-tail wiggled as it swallowed the whole banana peacefully.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
