《Bored Gamer in Other Worlds》Chapter 29

“That storage ring is fake, host.” Nancy took pity on its holder.
“Fake? I paid with my precious blood to open that cursed ring and you tell me that it’s fake! You should have said sooner, Nancy.” Clark moaned in pain.
He looked at the wound on his finger and unto the bloody ring he wore. It was all for naught!
“The system promotes an open free world for you to do what you wish, host. Although it sometimes give bonus hints in the gameplay but most of the time, it shall only let you weave your fate unimpeded.
If you had asked directly rather than experimented alone then you would have not wasted a drop of your blood instead.” Nancy explained.
“SIGH!” Clark has no retort to that so in the end, he could only shake his head in speechless protest.
He remembered how he got to obtain the inventory feature of the system and received a similar experience right now.
‘Sometimes i think Nancy loves to see me make a fool of myself.’ Clark lamented inside but immediately locked those trivial thoughts behind his mind. He has got a storage ring to plunder still.
“So which of these remaining 9 are the real interspatial rings?” Clark asked after discarding the fake ring on the side.
“The sixth one from the left, host.”
“FUCK ME!” Clark cursed loudly. He had expected at least four rings to be genuine and yet he was only given 1 to keep.
“Don’t mind. Don’t mind. At least, i finally had my hand on my first treasure.” Clark whispered in congratulations to this rare find.
Although he already got the system for an unlimited space for his essentials but what it lacked though were the true artifacts of this world.

The storage ring of the fallen Zhang Mu was of course different from that.
‘Now let me see what that boy has inside this ring.’ Clark took the specific ring that Nancy picked with great accuracy. The others he deposited inside his inventory to perhaps discard them later on.
After sprinkling a little bit of blood on the ring, he was finally successful in getting what he wanted. With closed eyes, Clark’s mind seeped unto the contents of the magical ring.
He expected to find himself in the empty expanse of the void and the miscellaneous items floating in the air at his bidding but he was comforted in what he saw instead.
‘Another one of this boring scenes.’ Clark commented when he found his consciousness within a cavelike space about the size of a standard single room.
There were several boxes around, a crowd of transparent bottles filled with what seemed like white round candies for consumption, and a pair of swords.
Clark checked the boxes first and with a thought’s command, the nearest one opened up without delay.
‘Men’s clothes.’ He did the same with the second and found no luck in finding any difference from the first. Still, that has not deterred Clark’s curiosity to finish what he started.

Fixture in Fate
Heroes aren’t to be trusted. They aren’t to be revered, or to be praised. They are to be feared, no matter the good they do, or the justice they seem to embody. Because it’s all a lie, a fabrication to make you believe that Heroes exist. Heroes don’t exist, only humans. And there is no scarier monster than a human with a ‘link’. Yet, what happens when someone tries to be a hero? A real, true hero—fighting to protect the world from those of their own who wantonly dominate and rule? Can a world, betrayed so thoroughly, ever truly want to be saved? This is a Superhero Fantasy story, set in a world that fears those called Linked. This story is also reminiscent of others in the genre like Worm by Wildblow.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

Twisted Skies
After his master's death, Thurain leaves his rural home behind and travels to Heliana, the cramped city founded on the scientific progress of cultivation. Under a fake name, he aims to enter the Elemental Path Sect, the place of his master's death, to find both his killers, and closure. However, surrounded by the strange and horrible wonders of Heliana and its mixture of heroes and villains, his master's death is not the only murder he may have to solve. --- First attempt at a xianxia novel from me. To shake things up from the usual formula, the setting is more steam-punk than you might expect, and there are elements of murder mystery mixed in with the standard formula (though I'm not entirely sure yet how far to go with it.) I wrote this a while ago for NaNoWriMo, only posting it now for various reasons. Enjoy. Also, cover is highly temporary. I'll probably replace it with something nicer eventually.
