“I’m pretty sure that it is a mistake.” I said to the girl, that was now laughing.
After killing those goblins, we went back to the adventurers guild, to check out my character card. One more time I signed this weird piece of paper, and one more time my skills, and stats appeared on it.
“I-It’s not a mistake…” Eri said, while still laughing.
No! It must be a mistake! This skill… It can’t be! Why is this happening?! Is because of my luck?! Is my whole life going to be like this, because of it?
Ryan Smith Attributes Intelligence 5/10 Strength 3/10 Dexterity 4/10 Luck 0/10 Skills
Fast runner
It seems that you are pretty good at running? It's good I think? Like... for your health?
“What is this skill?!” I shouted, and Eri bursted out with laughter.
“I-It’s your skill… It s-seems, that you are very good at running!”
S-Shut up! Shut up! Don’t say anything!
“Don’t worry Ryan, a skill like this will help us with luring goblins…” Mikori didn’t even end her sentence, and Eri started laughing one more time. This time even louder.
Shut up! I don’t want to hear about this! Where is my fireball?! Where is my sword mastery? I want to use a bow! I want to use a spell!
“W-Why I have a skill like this!” I shouted, and the girl behind the counter looked at me.
“The skills are given according to many things. What you have been doing lately, who do you want to become, and…” and what! What?! “A-and… a-and your luck!” Eri said, and started laughing one more time.
Can you laugh at your customers like this!? Can you?! I will never come back to here! I will never come back!
“Ryan, I told you not to worry! This skill will be so useful! Just imagine running from those goblins!”

Shut up! Shut up! Everyone shut up!”
“Y-You can all just disappear!” I shouted, and threw the paper at the ground. After that I left running.
Whoa, I’m fast. How fast I’m running? I’m sure I’m faster than before…
“Ryan! Wait! I don’t have skills like you!” Mikori was calling me from behind, but I didn’t care.
I just ran. When I opened the door, I saw the city illuminated by the sun.
Where will I go now? What will I do? Why did I receive a stupid skill like this? Those were my thoughts, but I didn’t care. This skill wasn’t that bad…
Well, I would like to cast some spells, or fight with a sword, but what I can do? I was maybe one and a half times faster. Of course, I was still slower than the fastest man alive, but still, something like this felt amazing.
“R-Ryan please! I’m s-slower than you!”
I don’t care! I don’t care about anything!
“I will run to the end of the world! And I will never come back!” I shouted, and looked back. Mikori was still going after me.
“R-Ryan please! W-With skills like t-this, we could lure s-so many goblins!” she said, trying to take a breath.
So this is who I am to you? A machine designed to lure goblins?! You are a monster! You are a monster!!!
“I h-hate you Mikori!”
“Ryan, p-please stop!”
Why was I reborn again?! To kill a demon king?! Am I going to outrun him to death?! Why!? I want to cast a spell! I want to cast a spell!
“R-Ryan, stop!” I heard Mikori once again.
What does she want from me? Does she want to laugh at me? Or does she want to use me again? Am I just a piece of meat for her? I didn’t want a skill like this!

I thought about those things, and I stopped. With my speed, it took her about three minutes to catch up to me.
“R-Ryan, l-listen to me…” she was still trying to catch her breath, when she was near me.
I didn’t respond, and I just waited for a moment, so she could rest.
“W-We can, l-lure so many goblins…”
“You are a monster!” I shouted, and tried to run again, but she catched me with her hand.
“N-No, listen R-Ryan! W-We can level up more! W-We can be powerful!” she said, and I looked at her.
Hmm, she might be right. But even if she is…
“I don’t want to listen to this! Why have I been even helping you?! I just want to be a NEET!” I shouted, but she didn’t want to let me go.
“N-No Ryan! You will see! W-We will be rich! We will we powerful!”
Who do you want to be?! Should little girls have dreams like this?!
I looked at her, and she was still holding me with her hands. Still trying to catch some air, and still looking at me with those stupid eyes.
Ahhh….
“O-Okay! It seems that now I won’t be beaten for sure.” I said, and she smiled.
“R-Really! Ryan, thank you! You are the best!”
Of course I am the best! Who do you think I am?

World Step (Rewrite)
This is a rewrite of my story World Step. Though, in reality, this is my first serious draft. The shadows grow deeper on the planet of Whorrl even as a dark, and ancient ritual takes place within the depths of The Abyssal Mouth—a chasm of both fortune and calamity. The story follows Quintin, a Grandmaster Martial Artist from Earth, as unforeseen elements conspire against him from the depths of space. *No Harem *Strong MC, but by no means does he go through enemies without injury or at least learning something. *Throw on [Horror], and possibly [Psychological] elements. *Dark Fantasy with some [Grimdark] leanings. Notes: this will be a place where I endeavor to rewrite and fix issues. With that in mind, expect revisions, edits, and other things of that nature.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
