《The System》Chapter 10: Boom Berries
Advertisement
Peter froze, that’s the effect a couple dozen of goblins running at breakneck speed towards you can have at a person, but luckily Raul knew what to do. Raul grabbed Peter and started running. “Snap out of it!”
Way too slow for the situation they were in, Peter snapped out of it and started looking around for an exit. The goblins paces were a bit quicker than theirs, but they had a head start. Natural light shone through vines to the right of them and so they ran towards it.
How symbolic, they literally ran towards the light, their only chance at survival. The only problem was that two goblins stood before the vines, and they couldn’t take their time dealing with them as the horde was gaining ground. But Raul, again, knew what to do. Sucker punching one in the face, and tackling the other, he made way for them to push through the vines.
They burst out into the forest, the sounds of the goblins behind them. Filled with adrenaline they both kept running. It was dark, but somehow Peter still had the torch with which he loosened Raul’s ropes. The dim fire illuminated the forest and after ten minutes of running they stopped to catch their breath.
“Extinguish the torch.”, Raul said. There was a sense of authority in his voice and Peter thought for a while to say no, but he did it anyway. “Why? The fire was handy you know. Now we can’t see anything.”
“Do you see any fire around here? The goblins could use it to track us down, they’d just have to look around for an illuminated patch of forest.”
Peter didn’t think the goblins were that smart, but it made sense. Speaking about goblins, why weren’t they still following them? It was awfully quiet and there were no signs of a giant parade of green monsters.

“Thanks for untying me too Peter, I appreciate it. Now we need to keep going, to get as far away from those goblins as we need.” The man that was jovially joking in the cave was gone, Raul had turned serious.
Peter mumbled something in reply as he watched with wide eyes his quest completion windows.
Quest completed.

He would look at that skill later. It sounded awesome, but Raul was right. The light of the moon was just bright enough to let him see were he had to step. As frightened as he was that there was going to be another wolf attack, there didn’t seem to be any. He could here some howls in the distance, but Raul just said: “Keep on walking.”. Raul let him on a dead march, he was utterly exhausted when he was allowed to rest. It was already dawn by then. Sitting under a tree next to Raul, Peter asked him his first personal question, because if he was going to spend time with this man he wanted to know him.
“So you were in the army or something?”
“Yeah, you know, I was in the army for 10 years, earning money for the wifey, you know how it is.”
The seriousness was gone, and there was the man he met in the cave.
“You know, we should search for a base and some food, I am pretty hungry. Haven’t eaten for days! Days! Horrible.”
Peter agreed with him wholeheartedly, the berries hadn’t filled him at all. In an attempt to keep the conversation going Raul asked him a question.

“What was that explosion? You don’t seem like the person to carry explosives with ya.”
“It was something called Raw Mana Explosion. Got it by eating a few berries.”
“Woa dude, show me those berries sometime!”
With that the conversation was officially dead, and Peter gracefully used a couple of minutes of silent time to check his status and read the guide.

It was another sunny day when suddenly the world felt tremors. The world entered another era, the dungeon era. Every living being started to mutate. Spewing fire and flying like an aircraft were no more superhero things. Not everyone got the same amount of power. Some could only use it for daily courses. Some started to build groups with strong individuals, and dominate over the others. With time some structures started appearing around the world, each different than the other. The Dungeon Era started. At first most of these structures went unnoticed. But later, one by one dungeon breaks started. The small towns and cities were destroyed by the horde, killing millions. The dungeons were taken seriously thereafter. The groups started to clear more and more dungeons. They brought back hundreds of equipment and weapons from the dungeons. They brought back powerful tomes, which contained powerful skills. Soon, many people chose the new profession over anything else, The Raiders, were born.

Form a party with our hero to start a new type of journey where dungeon raiding and dungeon defense were part of a huge system, which contains many secrets. Can our hero find the secrets? Join our hero who will become the best Dungeon Master of all time. I am a new writer. I am not a native English speaker. Need all your help to make this story grow.

Shaman
*** Let's get this clear now: the MC is a trans woman. This is not a gender-bender. It's set in a fantasy world but the exploration of identity and gender is reality-based. Not a joke, not a kinky turn-on. If this is a problem for you, please just act like an adult and look elsewhere for something to read. *** Rating breakdown, since that should be public info: 2 x 5*, 1 x 4.5*, 1 x 3*, no reasons offered. A human shaman and healer returns from several years with the mysterious shyani, accompanied by her shapeshifting puma best friend. A valued friend, from her previous identity as a male student physician, has acquired an old shyani book, and extremists will not tolerate its presence in human hands. But back in human lands, the question arises: which world does she belong in? Generations ago, human explorers found a continent inhabited by an utterly alien culture of shapeshifting weyres and the shyani, humanoids who prefer dusk and dawn. A truce of sorts was eventually reached: humans claimed the rich lowlands, and the shyani and weyres retain the highlands. Along the border, practicality often rules, but on either side, old grudges linger in some hearts. As a student physician, Corin tried to take his own life, unable to bear the countless tiny wounds inflicted over twenty-one years of lying to himself in order to be, or pretend to be, socially acceptable. At the last improbable instant, intervention came, in the form of a spirit fox, who led him away from the existence he’d known in the lowlands and into the highlands. There, a puma weyre rescued him, and a shyani shaman helped him find his true self and offered a rebirth, a life with no more lies, and an important role to fill. Now a shaman and healer in her own right, Vixen who was once Corin learns that the one human who mattered to her in her previous life, then a fellow University student, has come into possession of an old shyani book, and the more fanatical shyani and weyres will stop at nothing to reclaim it and punish Jared. Even though it means going back into the lowlands and facing Jared as a woman, she can’t bear to just look the other way. This should be a short visit, just long enough to see the book into the proper hands and make sure Jared will not be killed for having it, and then she can return to the shyani community that has accepted her as their shaman. And, of course, her feline best friend Dayr insists on coming with her. But Jared is now a Lord, with considerable wealth and power, and his response to her presence isn’t one she expected. After years living with the shyani, she sees everything around her from a new perspective, and that makes it difficult to keep to the plan of making as few waves as possible. As an honoured guest in a highborn house, with only Jared aware that she has ever been anyone else, Vixen finds herself questioning where she belongs: with Dayr and the shyani, who accept her gender without question but have to make allowances for her differences, or with humans, in the culture she grew up in even though her past would mean a major scandal? *** Trigger warning: there are scenes of Vixen's previous life, which include some difficult moments and culminate in an (obviously unsuccessful) attempt at suicide before she finds her true self and a better life. Please be careful! This is the ONLY reason for the "Traumatising Content" tag.*** Complete stand-alone novel, 96K words. Also available on Scribble Hub and as a free ebook.
