《Rat In The Dungeon》2. Rat
Advertisement
Being a rat after dying. What sort of stupid afterlife is this? And if this is just reincarnation which it seems like. How the fuck is it physically possible for my new stupid brain to support my mind? I might not be a genius but I don’t think any rat would beat me in chess or so.
¨Squeak…¨
And I also keep forgetting that I cannot talk maybe it does affect me being gradually more stupid. At least I am not feeling hung over. Yea totally worth it to die like the worst possible dead, to not be hung over for few hours!! Yay. I got that going for me which is nice.
Anyways after that which seemed like infinity of complains, regrets stupid ideas and crying I actually started realizing that whatever the place where I am at is. It is not safe at all. While this particular pretty much insanely big almost room like cave is empty excluding me. I hear very well the sounds of squeaks, growls, clunks and various death cries of what would seem like animals not that far away.
¨Squeak…¨
Yeap. I probably did got dumber if I keep forgetting. My concerns are a little bit more pressing than just forgetfulness of my new brain. Scanning the room completely which also took me quite fair bit of time revealed my relative size considering that I see freaking human footprint on the far end of the tunnel?? Holy shit my brain is playing tricks with me I swear. Not only am I a rat of size of big dog or even bigger but I thought a tunnel is a room. THESE EYES SUCKS!!!
Well to be fair I am starting to get used to them but damn the vision is really weird. It is not even that bad, but its super different. Also on top of all that I keep getting hammered information that I don’t even understand properly from my nose and whiskers. At least ears are simple and effective right off the bat…

Mistakenly thinking I was in a room and the time it took to realize I was in tunnel instead was probably one hour. I however smartly didn’t approach the sounds of death and what seemed like all out war from one side of the so called room tunnel. And then I noticed the footprint and realized my relative size, that is if humans even have the same size I remember.
Damn I am a huge rat. God… but wait…………. Wait…??? For the time being lets ignore the fact that human would for some reason go into this death tunnels of doom full of deadly animals including me… but… if I am clearly not a normal rat even if we ignore the fact of my last life ego. This is not Earth!!! Probably not even the same reality that I remember…
Does that actually mean I am reborn in different reality and that laws of physics and all kinds of scientific crap that I barely have any knowledge off or even care about just work differently in here?
This… maybe? Maybe just maybe it’s a game world. I would love it. Despite being a rat. Games worlds or those iteration of them at least to some degree get some sort of decently fair approach when it comes to progression. Even for monsters. I even read about some of those. Who didn’t right?
¨Squeak, squeak, SQUEEEEAAAAK¨
Oh right I cannot talk… well on the bright side I got so used to my tail I perfectly face palmed myself with it instead of hand legs? Oh right that would be front paws right now. Never mind.. I remember rats actually having hands. And I can move them relatively similar to human hands just with less reach and it feels less precise as well.
Well god please let it be a game world.

The Silver Wheel Game 2: The Wolf's Gambit
In part two of this three-part series, battle lines have been drawn in the once-peaceful realm of the Silver Wheel. In one corner, we have the enigmatic and brilliant Marie Walker, whose perverse dissection of the Silver Wheel and it’s operations has left a trail of destruction in her wake. In the other, we have the staff of the Silver Wheel, who seek to return to a time before their discovery and exploitation at the hands of mortals... using any means necessary. These two forces clash for the soul of the Silver Wheel in matches of wit and fortitude, forging strange alliances and suffering harsh betrayals. But when your battlefield’s a poker table, a little bad luck is sometimes all it takes to ruin even the best-laid plans… You can read part one right here, and part three here. Art was done by the amazingly talented nebai.

The Gatekeeper
Quick Synopsis:This is the story of Reylor, a god-like existence who lost a great portion of his strength when accidentally sent from his “home” to another world. Making friends and learning to harness to power of magic, he maintains his commitment to his prior duty and proceeds to fight against corruption, both on a political front and against what is known as the shade.(Note, this story focuses on action and adventure, so politics are not in depth) This has been my first novel, which was primarilly inteded as a learning experience, and so it may be a bit rough in regards, but it should definitely be readable and it is a full story. I may make some adjustments to it later on, but there's no guarantee... anyhow, it's free to read, so give it a go! Also, feel free to check out my new website: aretornovels.wordpress.com

Join the Discord!+Notable Tags+Profanity: People curse all the time. Rarely at each other or in a deragitory manner. Tramatizing Content: The MC is not a nice guy. He isn't your classic 'White Knight' who will defeat the 'bad guys' and save the day. Your normal views of the way the world should work are not the same for him. Expect ruthlessness, backstabbing, lies, dishonorable actions, and so much more that makes this story realistic and great.Urban Fantasy: While modern technology exists, along with space crafts and other soft sci-fi tropes, they are not key elements, nor will they be gone over in high details. This story is primarily magic/fantasy.Soft Sci-Fi: Read above. This story is a revised version of the previous story I wrote here on Royal Road. It's been almost a year since I published it and have worked on fixing it to become a better story that I am proud of. Edited as of 30JUL2022

A Traveler's Tale
Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
