“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?

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?

Cheep!?
Charles Monroe survived the disappearance of his parents, did his best to hold things together for himself and his sister. He survived when she, too, vanished, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note. He was devastated, but he kept moving forward as best he could. Cancer didn’t put him down, and after suffering through several rounds of chemotherapy, Charles Monroe thought that things might finally be looking up. That is, until a virulent strain of ebola swept through the city. With his immune system strained as it is, the odds don’t look good for Charles. Now, on the bridge between life and death, he hears a voice claiming to know where his family went. It claims that it needs his help and that it can give him a second life, one far away from all the pain he’s ever known. So, Charles answers as any reasonable person would. He says no. Charles isn't ready or willing to die yet. But, as with everything else to this point, even his choice to keep fighting is taken from him all too soon. With no other option but the dark oblivion of death, Charles chooses to make a deal with the spirit of a distant world that's seeking a wild card in its battle against the gods, monsters, and mortals that threaten its existence. Someday, he’ll find where his family went. Someday, he’ll uphold his end of the bargain and hunt beings powerful beyond anything he’s ever known. Someday, he might even – hatch? “CHEEP!?” Things to Know: -Cheep!? Will release on a minimum weekly schedule. -After a backlog of chapters, posting will slow, but in the interim you can expect a chapter a day up until roughly 25 chapters. -This story at times will potentially carry some heavy moments, but the tone is intended to be lighter overall. -There are invisible game-like elements in this story, but nothing so concrete as a dedicated gamelit novel. -I personally have some issues with anxiety, so I may or may not interact with the community a lot. I'll try if anyone has questions, but I can't guarantee that it'll be consistent. -MC is a non-human lead, and will never actually become human. Romance will potentially happen between side-characters, but not with the MC. -MC IS NOT THE ONLY VIEW POINT. I have to put that out there because people sometimes hate alternate PoV's in a story. None of them will be filler, and they'll be there only to give a little bit more nuance and meaning to the world that the MC has stepped in, or is about to be imminently important. I'll try to keep them down, but this also helps to prevent me from burning out getting trapped in one view. -Most of all, I hope that this story is enjoyable to you, and that you have a great time reading it! -Written by Michael Adams, Cowritten/Edited by Summer Kent

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
