《Origin Of The Forsaken》Chapter 13
Advertisement
The group leads Darius into the church, walking along the spiral until they make it to a door towards the back of the main chapel. The leader of the group knocks on the door, and they wait as they hear a chair move. The door soon opens and a priest says “Yes? What is it?”
“Sir, we found an unknown in the Lunenset Forest, we brought it here right away.” The priest nods and opens the door “Well, bring it in and we’ll see what you’ve found.” The leader of the group grabs Darius’ arm, pulling him into the room with the priest before the priest closes the door.
Darius frowns as he is brought over to a chair in the room which he is forced to sit in. He looks around the room a little before he looks towards the priest. “So, what now?” Darius asks. The priest looks at him surprised “Well, that is interesting, an unknown that can actually speak. That is very rare indeed.”
“Well this ‘unknown’ has a name.” Darius says while shaking his head and frowning. “And what might that be?” The priest asks. “Darius, my name is Darius.” “Interesting, quite interesting, and what exactly are you?”
“What do you mean what am I? I’m a human.” The priest laughs at that. “If you were a human you’d have the same identifiers as the rest of us.” “What, so you think because my identifier is different I’m not human? Would me being a Chosen change anything about that?”
The priest looks surprised. “Well, that certainly could change things, but that doesn’t explain why your identifier is different.” “Well, what does change them exactly?” “If you manage to change your race somehow, blessings, curses, and even some diseases.”

“So, a blessing could change it? I do have a blessing. It’s called The Blessing of The Three.” “That would most likely explain it, though that is a blessing I’ve never heard of, how did you gain it?”
“I don’t actually know, I got it shortly after I woke up, which was out in the forest.” “Very strange, especially because Myrdou wouldn’t send a chosen out into the forest, but you are speaking the truth.” “Wait, you can tell I’m not lying?” “Yes, all priests of Myrdou are given a blessing that allows them to know if someone tells a lie in their presence.”
“So you know that I’m not lying when I say I’m not a threat and that I don’t want to hurt anyone?” “Yes, you are telling the truth, your blessing must be what has changed your identifier, so I think we can remove you as an unknown.” The priest grabs a piece of paper and writes something on it, before using magic Darius can’t identify on it. “This will is your identification, it’s to let people know you aren’t classified as an unknown.”
“Right, that’s certainly a good thing to have, but I do wonder what magic that was?” Darius says as he takes the paper from the priest. “Ah, yes you probably haven’t seen much if any divine magic, it’s magic given by Myrdou to his followers, there are five forms of divine magic, just as there are five types of elemental magic. It’s usually based on your class, Clerics, Paladins, and Priests each have different forms. The last two classes are Holy Summoners, as well as White Mages. Of course there is some small crossover between classes at lower levels, but each are separated as they are due to what they gain at higher classes.”

“Well, that is certainly great to know, but with there being divine magic, isn’t there also dark magic as well?” Darius asks, before he pauses as he looks at the priest. “No, there is no such thing, and it is foolish to ask such questions.” The priest says, looking angry as he looks at Darius. “Now, I think it is best if you leave” Darius nods slightly as he says “Right, uh, thank you for all of your help.” While he walks out the door, following the leader of the group that brought him here.
Darius looks at the leader as he says “Do you happen to know a way I could make some money fairly quickly? I’m kinda broke.” “Well, you could try the adventurers guild, they probably have something you could do.” “That sounds great, but where is it?” “Follow the street we brought you through until you find a large building that has a sword and shield sign on it” “Thanks.” Darius says with a nod before he leaves the church.
Darius walks back down the street, looking around as he does. He takes a while to finally find the building with the sword and shield sign on it, but he walks inside.

Braindead - A Zombie LitRPG
In a world where zombies are trash mobs that children kill for easy exp, what hope does one little zed have? Zed was minding his own business when his master's domain was invaded by a plucky young heroine looking to make a name for herself. An unlikely turn of events allowed Zed to come out on top, and gave him enough experience to rise above the life of a mindless minion. Unfortunately, it also left him with no body to share it with... literally, not figuratively! This story contains: Some 'jokes' containing questionable humour. An inhuman MC who has no interest in pesky things like romance or growing a conscience. Blue boxes, and a DnD style system messily mashed together with several other systems. Gore, but nothing too gratuitous. The main character is a severed head so what do you expect? Kingdom/base building, because what good is a zombie without a good horde behind them. Releases planned for each Sunday until I build up a decent backlog.

The Yes-Mage
Plenty of people have stopped and asked what it'd be like to simply have everything, and Sylvain Henry Camille Johansson was no different. He was a man who had a lot of things going on, with a name that'd make a supervillain blush and a family who'd make even the useless of their rank into someone important. It was a shame, then, that he was slapped with a dreadfully unfortunate condition that kept him from living up to any of those already low expectations. Stuck living a life where magic is everywhere while he's left working with nothing more than a moderate intellect, a little bit of whatever influence he could get from his family, and a lifetime's practice at making himself the ideal subordinate for his bosses' boss, Vane was still beating the odds and slowly working his way up in the world. When the cunning yes-man finally got a chance to really make a name for himself, he leapt at the offer, taking his first real step onto a road he knew he was always meant to walk. His goal? Nothing less than finding out why he and too many other unfortunate souls are barred from the wonderful world of the higher energies, and with any luck, fixing it. Of course, life has a knack for interfering in even the humblest of plans, and Vane's lofty ideals were anything but humble; he was practically a walking bullseye for disaster. The funny thing about catastrophe, though, is that nobody can ever say what form it's going to take. That’s why, when it all went wrong for Vane, he'd gotten everything he'd ever wanted foisted onto him, and Everything else, too. Watch as a man so used to saying 'yes' to everyone above him finds himself stuck with the power to make reality itself say it back.

A Nerd's Wet Dream Come True (Tossing an OC into Marvel)
John was an average man. At least that's what he tells himself at night. He lived in a rented apartment in the decent district, a well-paying job, and more student debt than he cared to think about being steadily paid off. Yet he was absolutely miserable. He spent his days living like a zombie, a slave in all but name to corporate. His only joy these days it seems was reading comics and writing fanfics. SI ones. Choke full of power fantasies and large harems. Yeah, even he had to admit he was a loser. His only redeeming feature seemed to be his photographic memory and the library's worth of comics and books he has read. Yet, when fate took pity on him and had John transported into the Marvel Universe, he was only all too happy to oblige. A second chance to make something of himself. Is he going to finally have the comfortable life he wanted? Will he laze away relying on his past life's knowledge or does he want more this time? Will his ambition and hard work lead to sweet fruits, or will it rot away in the darkness hiding beneath the colorful costumes of the hero's society? Now with crossovers! Be warned if you don't like to see OCs messing up the timeline or DC and other stuff showing up. I swear I'm not randomly adding stuff and there is a legitimate (as far as comic books and fanfics can be) plot reason why. (I'll be honest, I don't know "cannon" marvel really... I watched some movies and animated series as a kid, but I haven't picked up a comic in years. This is just some light-hearted and casual writing for fun. If there are any errors or something you think would be cool please let me know.) I'm also trying to have multiple main characters so that might be jarring for some people while I switch perspective. Sorry in advance, I'm new at this and idk what I'm doing, advice and feedback gladly welcomed!
