《Kingdom of the Dead》Chapter 1

-3 Days prior to global infection-
Daniel sat relaxed in front of his computer, contemplating how it came this far.
Hands folded over his large belly, he stared at his Rimworld colony. It had grown quite considerablyover the past few hours, now housing 9 colonists.
Sadly the amount of psychedelic drugs he introduced in order to bring them happiness, had been stolen in a raid. Now he was out of stock and they would surely perish due to withdrawal symptoms.
Luckily he did not have to puzzle at his ongoing demise too long. A visitor dropped into his Discord voice channel.
“Eeeey! Whats up? How are you doing Cookie?”
Cookie was the general name Daniel used on most of his online gaming accounts. Be it League of Legends, CS:Go or other pastime distractions.
“Nothing much. Kind of bored actually. Dying in Rimworld right now, haha. ”
“Oh damn, did you cannibalize your own people again?”
“No, not this time. You wanna play some League Lucky?”
“Oh damn, that’s nasty! Dude you need to check this shit out... Holy fuck!”
“Lol, why? What is it?”
“Remember the Twitch streamers that fake like… raids and shit? Or the one streamer girl that masturbated on stream because she “forgot” to switch it off? Lol.”
“NovaPatra or whats she called? Yea, I remember. Or the guy that got raided by the “FBI” lol…. Why? What did you find?”
bing*
“Link is in chat dude. That shit is nasty as fuck though... Can’t believe they pulled of such realism. Stream numbers exploded too.”
“Alright, gimme a sec to watch, brb.”
Daniel hit his mute hotkey and opened the link. Nothing out of the ordinary at first. A streamer playing some fork-knife while meme-talking his chat. Rather boring stream actually. Then, after a couple of minutes, it happened. The door opened and with a hard shove.

The streamer was shocked at first, before he yelled at his mother not to disturb him and to get out of his room. His mother didn’t stop though. Dark veins that looked rather sick showed on her face before she pushed the teenager from his chair into the desk, right in front of the webcam.
Then Daniel nearly had to vomit. She bit into his cheek, ripping out flesh and blood and seemingly swallowed it. Then she went on to scratch him up all over his neck and face, drawing blood, before she dragged him to the floor. She was heard eating away at him for a bit more, before she rose and left the room in unfocused steps. Daniel continued watching, only to see the streamer rise, badly wounded all over his face and neck. He was also covered in dark veins that streaked his face and possessed an empty look.
The guy then proceeded to smack the monitors, seemingly annoyed. Lucky was right, that shit looked nasty. Daniel proceeded to scroll down to the comment section and unmuted himself.
“Man what in the seven hells was that? Jesus Christ…”
“I know right? The fucked up thing is the stream is still live, lol. Here check the link.” bing* “It’s only the empty room now, though. Webcam titled and some stuff smashed.”
Daniel followed the link and also read some more comments below the last video:

“Damn. Apparently the police is investigating this too. Alongside other “similar occurences” in Nevada and North Carolina.”
“For real? What the fuck? You think this could be a real thing?”

Another user joined the discord channel.
“Guys, I just saw your link in discord. The fuck man, you can’t just post this graphic violence shit here, my brother is twelve and uses this server too!”
Daniel rolled his eyes. “Manta, your little brother has a dirtier mind than any of us, he watches porn and shit all day lel, calm the fuck down.”
“Aww man, if he talks about this at dinner, my dad’s gonna be halla mad at me again… Can’t you just take this shit down?”
Lucky sighed. “Ahhh… alright… You owe me a skin in league for that though.” Then he proceeded to delete the post.
“What do you meaaaan! I don’t owe you shi-“
Then Lucky kicked him off the channel.
Daniel laughed. “Lol, you bully.”
“You have no idea, I also sent his brother the link directly just now.”
“Lol. Dick.”
Daniel spent the better part of the day searching for similar posts online and they grew more suspicious by the hour. South Korea, Texas, Nevada, North Carolina, New Mexico, Italy. In every country there had been meteorite showers just hours before.
That day, they both spend most of their time online trying to figure out if there was a true core to these stories or not. Sadly there was not much more to find than unconfirmed rumors until two days later.
-doomsday Friday-
On doomsday friday, the world forever changed. Daniel sat unbelieving in front of his pc, witnessing the countless news reports on the meteorite showers that happened all over the world. Videos of skyscrapers getting demolished by hundreds of smaller meteorites, large craters in the countryside and hundreds of reports of people going crazy. Lucky and some other people on his gaming community did not respond anymore. In the following hours Daniel didn’t waste time.
He ordered large amounts of food from the nearby shops, his own village being rather untouched by the incident, and stacked up on all sorts of sweets and sugary things. It cost him a small fortune to instant deliver them to his house and having someone haul them into the basement and upstairs, but in his mind it would be worth it.
He also called the local carpenter and ordered him to completely nail all his windows and secondary doors shut, as well as install several strong locks on his front door. The man was suspicious, but after waving some money around the went to work all the more happily.
Daniel himself spent the next couple hours listening to YouTube videos regarding these incidents and played his favorite games as much as he could before shit was about to go down…
And shit was definitely about to go down…

Emancipation - An Isekai Story
When they tell you 'a hero was summoned'. Do they expound on what it takes to truly be moved? Does it make sense to rip a hole within reality into another dimension, to a planet billions of galaxies away, and accurately transport a single person(s)? No, well truth be told, it takes a whole lot to summon anyone so far away, maybe it might take an attempt in summoning of a Dark God, to transport him. Then again they never tell you about what it means to travel between Dark Matter. Or what horrors exist there. Cover by Red Bluebery! I am a new writer, I am trying to find my style of writing. So please have patience. If you see any grammatical errors let me know and I will work to fix them. If you have any criticism please Pm me. or leave a detailed review, not just a single star! Hope we have fun with this.
