"Insert spell C into slot J? But slot J already was filled?"
"You must have done it wrong. Here, give me that."
"No! Look, see, it's here, page 18, 'insert bracket V into slot J'. I know what I'm doing!"
"Then the spell must go over the bracket."
"I don't think so..."
"Careful, you'll break it!"
"Well, how else am I supposed to insert the spell?"
"Not like that! Here, let me--"
"No! I can do this myself. Shoo."
"Are you sure that's the right spell? This one looks more the right shape."
"It says C, right on it. See? C! Right here."
"Okay, okay, I get it, carry on."
"Thank you."
"..."
"Don't say a word."
"I wasn't going to."
"Who made this junk anyway?"
"I'm sure spell C wasn't important. Try this one."
"... Fine, give it here."
"See? Snaps right in. I think they were just mislabeled."
"Now, insert spell D into hinge H. Do you have spell D?"
"Uhh, I think it rolled over under the sofa. Hang on... yup, here it is."
"Thanks. Into the hinge you go..."
"Woah."
"Guess that does it. Looks like spell C was an extra piece anyway."
"It looks like a painting made of jello. Can I--"
"No! Don't poke it, we haven't run through the safety protocols yet!"
"But it looks like it'll jiggle. I want to see if it'll jiggle."
"You are not prodding my brand new, untested, extradimensional portal, just to see if it jiggles like jello!"
"Come on... what could it hurt?"
"Did you entirely skip the warning pages? What if you end up stuck in the body of a fish or something!"

"Cool!"
"No, not 'cool', and-- hey! I said no touchy!"
"Pleaaaase?"
"We are going to follow the directions and run the safety test first. Can you at least restrain your curiosity for ten minutes?"
"You said the wardrobe assembly would take an hour. It's been three days."
"This time will be quicker. It's only two pages, see?"
"Hmmm, looks like step 3 is 'wait for 1000 hours to ensure the connection is stable.'"
"Give me that!"
"You mean you didn't memorize it already?"
"Shush, you. Huh. Yeah, it says a thousand hours. Forget that."
"I thought you wanted to do everything by the book?"
"If it wouldn't take forever. Come on, let's see if this thing jiggles."
"And you won't mind if we end up as fish?"
"Keyword here: 'we'."
"Aw, so you do care."
"Shush. Let's go be fish in a fantasy world."
"I thought you'd never ask."

The End (LitRPG)
James Yancy was one of the only children born without a superpower. Because of this, he doesn't think he will survive very long when the apocalypse comes. He was right. He dies almost instantly. Or does he? Authors Note: Not my picture, I shamelessly stole it from google, if anyone is an artist and wants to make one for me, that'd be great :)

The next to fall victim were the proud Knora of the North. The ice giants fought the Demon hordes to stalemate and seemed poised to prevail until the dragon rulers of the Demon Race joined the fight.

Novid Ollo will have to carry the weight of the sins of his father like the others who’s Souls were ripped from their lives on Earth and brought to this unforgiving Realm of Magic; filled with Monsters and Demons.What happens to Novid Ollo is entirely dependent on the extent of the effort he puts into preparations for when whimsical opportunity shines its light on him.

Soy una mazmorra, pero ¿realmente es un mundo de fantasía? (Spanish)
Sinopsis: El protagonista despierta en un lugar extraño, sin poder moverse, hablar o hacer algo al respecto ... o eso creia. Resulta que es una "Mazmorra" y tendra que afrontar su nueva vida, en un mundo desconocido con un futuro incierto, y si falla, consecuencias que le prometen mucho sufrimiento. Pero al menos puede crear lo que imagine. Longitud de cada capitulo: Aproximadamente 3900- 5000 palabras. Trato de que cada capitulo sea largo. Que espero como Autor: Si te ha gustado la historia o hay partes que no te gustan o no comprendes, comenta. Me ayudaria a saber como mejorar. Las criticas constructivas son muy bien recibidas y los animo a hacerlo. Esta obra la realizo yo, no es un fanfic.

Si el autor de la imagen desea que la retire, lo hare sin ningun problema. Eventualmente la cambiare por una que se adapte mejor
