Side Quest #1 "The Great Forest Owl"
Options:
1) Kill the owl
Reward: random skill, mysterious box
2) Flee
Reward: 50 xp
[Flee? Never, this bastard will die tonight.]
"I'll kill you! Fucking owl!"
I made upper slash, but the owl stepped back and dodged. Next strike was a thrust, hit, then a blow by second end.
We both gained some distance and were watching each other. I used this time and put the branch into the fire.
The owl tried to take off, so I just hit it again. Even though I was hitting it by a hardwood, it didn't seem like its doing some damage. These feathers are really something.
The owl charged and tried to strike me down, which caused nothing else than next blow to it's head. Next attempt, next deflection. However, it's feathers are fireproof.
The fight carried on when that cunning bastard waved its wings and blew out my pretty torch. Then it caught my branch into it's bill, teared it out of my hands and threw it out.
I immediately equipped one of my spears and threw it.
But I could have used a toothpick as well.
Bastard slashed at me it's talon, which I dodged by an inch. I pulled out the club and punched its head, again and again.
It charged and pecked the club. I let it be and switched to my knife and stabbed that fucking creature.
"Ahhh"
Sharp pain was going through my leg as it's talons were slowly scratching my leg.
I don't know how much time passed like this, I just remember its talons in my leg and my knife in its neck. A then it collapsed.
"You killed Great Forest Owl 300xp. Mission completed. Level up (x2)."
"Getting a random skill....Shapeshifting

Allows you to surge your mana into object and generate the force by the mana to move with its mass and change shape. Cannot change chemical composition.

Rarity: Epic
Type: Crafting"
"Wow" [This skill is useful as fuck. I'll be able to create everything.]
When the adrenaline left my body, I realized how exhausted I really am. I just cleaned the wound and patched it.
I barely managed to enter the sleeping bag.
Next morning.
After quick breakfast was I reading something about, AR in the help.

OK, that's me. Now to the Mystery box.
I pulled it out, it was made of some grey metal. I opened it and inside was ....dramatic moment.... a bayonet for my rifle and F1 grenade.
[This could be handy]

The Ms. Megaton Man™ Maxi-Series
When studious Clarissa James began her sophomore year at Arbor State University, she never expected to befriend the former See-Thru Girl, or for megaheroes and megavillains from Megatropolis to turn her quiet college campus upside down. But when Clarissa discovers she has her own megapowers, Megaton Man, Yarn Man, and Kozmik Kat must help Ms. Megaton Man uncover her origin secrets and fulfill her destiny as America's newest Nuclear-Powered Hero! Don Simpson is the cartoonist-creator of the satirical comic book series Megaton Man and Bizarre Heroes, and the sci-fi graphic novel Border Worlds. Says Don, "Clarissa was introduced as a very minor character back in Megaton Man #4 (June 1985). Little did I know she would take over my imagination, or become so central to my sprawling imaginary world. Her smart, savvy, sassy tone makes her the perfect narrator for these never-before-told stories and ongoing adventures, as she meets these characters for the first time." Mature themes include sexual relationships, drug use, and some strong language. New chapter every Tuesday 10:00 am EST US (15:00 UTC). All characters, character names, likenesses, words and pictures are ™ and © Don Simpson 2019, 2020, all rights reserved. Chapters previously posted on msmegatonman.blogspot.com.

Titan of Steel
You know how this goes; a new Dungeon wakes up, starts conjuring their first minions, and ultimately grows into a sprawling complex that adventurers gleefully plunder for treasure and experience points. This particular Dungeon knows how things tend to go too, and wants no part of it whatsoever. Instead, things go massively off the rails as the Dungeon uncovers the secrets of nuclear power, resolves to get themselves mobile by any means necessary, and immediately runs afoul of almost every major power of Terra Magnus. If the newly-minted Titan wishes to survive and thrive the situation they've found themselves in, they're going to need every single advantage they can scrounge up. This story is completed.

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!
