《Origin Of The Forsaken》Chapter 14
Advertisement
Darius looks around the adventurers guild, finding the main hall to be similar to a tavern. There is a large number of tables and chairs, as well as a bar against one wall. Against another wall there is a receptionist's desk, as well as some bulletin boards. He notices everyone is staring at him, so he quickly walks to the receptionist’s desk. He looks over the woman at the desk, she has brown hair, grey eyes, light skin, and she is wearing something similar to a suit.
“Hi, uh, I’m new around here, I was hoping I could become a licensed adventurer if possible.” “Okay, I’ll need you to fill out some paperwork before I can let you do anything else.” She says as she reaches under the desk, coming back with a small stack of paper for Darius to fill out. “It’s mostly waivers and such, what’s important is your level, class if you have one, skills, and spells if you have any.”
Darius looks over the paper, nodding as he picks it up “Uh, do you have a pen or quill or something I could use?” The woman grabs a pen for him, handing it to him. He then walks over to a free table and starts to fill out paperwork. He reads through the wavers, frowning slightly “Possible dismemberment, disintegration, exsanguination, beheading, and parasitic control? Well those are all pretty shitty ways to die.”
He shrugs as he finishes off the rest of the paperwork, getting up from the table and heading over to the desk. “I think I’ve finished everything.” He says with a smile as he hands over the paperwork. The woman looks over it “Everything looks in order, though, are you sure you want to do this at your level? I’m not even sure how you could be that level at your age.”

“Yes I’m sure, and as for how, well, I’m a chosen.” The woman nods as she looks over Darius. “That would do it, knowing magic at your level is slightly impressive, it’s very rare. Since you are new I should probably explain how things work. You will be given your adventurer badge, which depending on your level and your reputation will be a certain material. The materials are ceramic, lead, copper, tin, bronze, iron, steel, silver, gold, and platinum. Every ten levels you move up a material. If you are viewed favourably you could become a lead before your level gets to that point. If your reputation is bad, at your level, you could be banned from being an adventurer.”
“Right, that makes sense to me, so at my level I am a ceramic adventurer, correct?” “Yes, that’s right, I have a badge for you here.” She says as she reaches under the desk again, pulling out a small badge of a sword and shield, which she hands to Darius. “Now, you can take any contract from the first board, those are all ceramic rated quests. The second board is split between lead, and copper. The third between tin, bronze, iron, and steel. And the fourth between silver, gold, and platinum, there are rarely quests in those grades.”
“Right, is there anything else that I need to know at the moment?” “No, that’s everything you need to know right now, there is the adventurers guild rule book you should look over at some point, but if you’d prefer you could do that later.” “I think I’ll do that, thank you for your help.” Darius says with a nod as he walks over to the first bulletin board.
Darius takes some time to look over the papers pinned to the board. He sees a lot of cliche quests, like killing 10 slimes, or gather 5 herbs. He shrugs after a little while and he grabs a quest to clear a farmers field of rabbits, which causes a screen to pop up.

New Quest: Clear the McRoy farm
Objective 1: Kill the 12 rabbits infesting the McRoy farm
Description: Franklin McRoy posted a quest in the adventurers guild to clear his farm of rabbits threatening his livelihood.
Jeez you must like killing poor defenseless rabbits.
‘Well, that is kind of strange, but nothing too important.’ Darius shrugs as he opens his map, finding that there is a waypoint leading to a farm outside the city. He nods as he walks out of the adventurers guild. He walks through the city again, keeping an eye out for anything interesting as he does. After a little while Darius makes it to the gates of the city, looking around as he starts to walk out, seeing rows and rows of fields.

Berserker- Crank Wars
Nearly 500 years have passed since the so-called apocalypse where souls dominated their control over the human vessels and grew into fierce monsters. A small frail kid saved humanity from getting wiped out of the face of the earth through his strangely powerful and unique techniques and taught them to the humans that followed him. He became a legend and humans developed special powers called cranks from his teachings. Humans couldn't procreate anymore. A very few thousands of last generation humans that remained or stayed alive by becaming crankers now constitutes the only humanity left on the planet. And they should continue to keep levelling up their cranks by slaying monsters and siphoning their souls to stay immortal and most of them tend to form teams to increase their odds. Everything was wrist-slittingly boring like that until one of those teams went ahead and mistakenly awakened the legend kid from his deep, and sound slumber. --------- One Chapter @Everyday -------------------- Unfortunately, I don't own the cover. I found it on Pinterest. And edited it a little.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ
