《John the Average Knight: Marvellously Mundane》Book 1 Chapter 6
Advertisement
John flopped onto the floor, panting heavily.
“Remind me…” He gasped. “Why I’m doing this, again?”
“I’m just doing what you said to do, so don’t blame me for this.” The General’s tone was apologetic, but the knight could see the smirk on her face.
My sister… she’s pure evil! Cold-hearted! Sadistic! Cru-
To be fair, you did tell her to do this.
I told her what you told me to, Hud!
John heard a sigh from his psychological partner. And we’re both trying to help make you stronger.
“How is pelting me with stones going to help me!?” The knight screamed in frustration. “The first day, it was running for hours, without break, in full plate-armour! Then it was practising the sword from dawn till dusk! I could barely put up with th-”
John stopped to duck under a rock that would have struck his head. “Jane, please! Would you s-”
“Stop complaining, little brother! I’m doing this for you!”
She’s right, you know. The only way to level up is to do things related to your class – and you’re a Forsaken Knight. That means seeking revenge against your Queen and, to do that, you need to get stronger. Hence practising your fighting skills and improving your ability.
Another stone flew by, narrowly missing the pained knight.
And stop dodging them! We are training your ABILITY, not how well you can dodge! Try to figure out when and where the stone is going to hit you and become intangible for a moment!
John groaned. “Fine!”
Groaning as he straightened his back, the knight spoke. “Okay, sister, I am-” He shrieked as he was rapidly pelted with stones, loud clangs emanating from his armour on contact.
“Patrick! Not you, too!”
He heard a low chuckle. “I am sorry, Sir John, but this is for your benefit.”

Just concentrate, you could actually do it if you tried!
Glaring at his self-proclaimed friends, John watched as they readied to throw more stones. This time, they were aimed directly at his centre mass.
The man grunted in concentration; bending his entire will towards making himself partly incorporeal. He winced, closing his eyes as the rocks shot towards him, but John was stunned when he never felt the pain of their collision with him.
Conditional Intangibility has gained improved to +3!
Forsaken Knight is now Level 2!
+1 Strength
+1 Vitality
+1 Endurance
“Ha! It’s now- Ow! Damnit, Jane!”
John could’ve sworn he heard his sister muffle a laugh. “I thought you had it that time! Sorry!”
“I did, but I got distracted when I got a… What is it called, Hud?”
A notification, or a pop-up.
“Yes, I got one of those. A pop-up.”
What did it say, John?
“My ability increased by one, I think? And I am now a level two Forsaken Knight.”
That’s great! You know what that means, right?
“That I can finally rest?”
No, even better! It means that this training was working! It means you keep on going!
John groaned as hail of stones were thrown at him.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game - A Virmo Story
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world’s deepest dungeon. He is an immortal pinnacle of existence that is otherwise known as an ancient dragon. And he is terribly bored. His sole source of amusement comes from scrying on the adventurer teams that are in the upper levels of his dungeon. Through spying on adventurers, Kragathor hears of a new magic item, called a Virmo, that allows one to project their mind into a fictional world in some sort of grand-scale game. Recognizing these Virmo games as a potential diversion for his endless boredom, he orders a minion to infiltrate the nearby town and acquire some of these games. Once the minion returns, he logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of ‘science’ and ‘technology’, and embarks on his new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class. Release Schedule: As I wrap up the end of the first major arc, I will publish the chapters as they're completed. However, as I transition into the next arc, I will go with a two or three times a week release schedule, since I will be splitting time between this story and Chimera. Discord Server

Penance's Pursuit
This future sci-fi fantasy follows the progression of a few main characters as they navigate their unique spheres of life in the year 2242. The story focuses heavily on themes of guilt, personal failing, and penance. The conflict revolves around two main concepts: Man vs. Himself (Internal conflict) and Man vs Man (External conflict). The internal conflicts focus on many of the characters' inner demons and how each of them deal with the scars of the past. The external conflict centers around a mysterious criminal organization called Nexus that conducts human trafficking. There are three groups of main characters. The first group belong to a vigilante mercenary organization called Ab Aeterno. Titus, Venna, and Benjamin are Achilles team. This team is a part of Ab Aeterno's special forces branch which is designated Demon Stalkers. Their goal and mission is to perform assassinations, abductions, and destabilization operations on criminal organizations throughout the solar system. Their current mission places them directly in the path of Nexus. Titus interacted with them in his past and they seem to have unlimited reach, resources, and power. As the team faces this threat, old wounds will surface and dangerous connections to the past will emerge. The second group of characters are on the Mars colony. Randal Page is an analyst for a talent scout company on Mars. He is faced with the reality that the company he thought he was working for is in fact Nexus. His story centers around his coming to realize the duplicity of the company he works for and then his response to the startling realization of his own ignorant involvement. Also on Mars is a woman named FaRarra Njokko. She is a Nexus sex slave in a brothel on Mars and is known by the stage name of Stardust. She is striving to escape when her path crosses with Randal. The final main character is Preston Coretel. He is a monk with a mysterious and shady past. He is on the run from Nexus in more ways than one. He is seeking sanctuary on an abandoned monastery space station in order to avoid agents of Nexus and to atone for his previous involvement with Nexus.
