《Left Behind In Another World》Prologue: And so it begins
Advertisement
I Shioya Yuki hate myself. For the past few weeks I’ve been getting bullied at school. I can’t really blame the bullies because i have never stood up for myself. It is also almost time for finals, so it might just be them taking out their stress on me.
Its basically the usual kind of bullying. The guys in my class ridicule me and I get into fights a lot. Ah, though when I say I get into fights its only them doing the hitting and me getting hit. The rest of the class turns a blind eye to it. Aha, a really cliche kind of bullying.
I am not totally alone though. My two childhood friends and my sister try to stop it, but it just ends up getting worse. They can’t be blamed though, as they are only trying to help. The only one at fault here in me. Even though I have to go through this everyday, I don’t fight back. I guess i’m just a pushover.
I’m sitting in my desk when my childhood friend, Akita Jun grabs me from behind.
[O-oi, what are you doing?!] (Shioya)
[Let’s go home together!] (Jun)
[Sure, but why did you suddenly grab my neck?] (Shioya)
[That’s just what close friends do. Wai- wait don’t tell me you want to go further?!] (Jun)
[No!] (Shioya)
After I screamed that some people in the classroom started staring at me. I look back and saw Jun trying to hold in his laughter. A vein popped on my forehead.
On our way out of the school, some people come towards us. I recognize them immediately. They were the ones bullying me. Their leader, Kazuya smiled at me.
[Shioya, we need money for the arcade. Lend us some] (Kazuya)
Even though Jun was right beside me, they didn’t care.

[I don’t have any money on me, sorry] (Shioya)
[Go withdraw some] (Kazuya)
[I don’t have money there either] (Shioya)
[Why are you being like this, we’re friends aren’t we?] (Kazuya)
[But I don’t have any money] (Shioya)
This was when Kazuya snapped. He grabbed my shirt
[You bastard!] (Kazuya)
Jun who was silently watching the whole time moved Kazuya’s arm away from me then grabbed one of his legs and threw him. I was lucky to have Jun around, he was in the Karate club and had won the National Competition.
At the gate of the school, we met up with my second childhood friend Chino Yukari and my twin sister Miki. We had to take the train and the earlier fight had delayed us a bit so we all had to run to the train station. We got there one minute before the train left, so just barely safe.
[That was so tiring!] (Yukari)
[You say that but you didn’t even break a sweat, as expected of the captain of the track team!] (Miki)
[Ehehe.] (Yukari)
[Demons...girls are...demons] (Shioya)
Both Yukari and Miki were perfectly fine, but me and Jun were panting like crazy.
While on the train, Miki and Yukari were chatty as usual and Jun was asleep. I was looking at the window. The scenery was always the same, but also always great. Suddenly there was a loud voice talking through the speakers
[THE TRAIN WILL HAVE TO STOP MOMENTARILY].
The train stopped.
[The announcer didn’t even tell us why] -Jun.
Jun was awake now.
[Yeah, I wonder what’s wrong] (Yukari)
[They probably have to switch the tracks or some--] (Miki)
suddenly there was a flash of light and then I went unconscious.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
