《Stuck in a game world with an OP shop》Chapter 2
Advertisement
Late at night, I wake up to the sound of crunching twigs. Underneath of the branch I am sleeping on are three wolves. Scary fucking wolves. They don't look bigger than normal, but they still have scary gray fur and big scary teeth and probably eat chubby boys like me for breakfast. Good thing I have the bow, and I take it out of the inventory.
Cocking an arrow, I am the bow at the smallest wolf. If I can get any hit at all, I might be able to kill it. Probably not, but maybe. If I miss, the wolf will run into the forest with his little wolf buddies and maybe come back to attack during the day, but if I don't attack they might come to attack during the day anyways. If I attack now, there might only be two coming back tomorrow, but the surviving two might bring their entire pack back with them. If I don't attack, the three might come back by themselves.
I'll wait. I try to go to sleep again, and eventually, the darkness takes over and once again I feel the sweet embrace of sleep.
In the morning, I get to work. I don't have anything to sharpen sticks with, but if I break them at the right angle I can make the splinter in a way that will serve the purpose I need them to. With Trapper skills, I am able to construct the traps needed to trap animals, but I can't make the materials needed for them. I've been using rough substitutes until now, but I'm can see how my methods are not up to par with that which a real trapper would use. My traps have yet to catch anything, as far as I can tell, and I might just be wasting my effort.

At the end of the day, the forest area around me is an absolute death-field. I couldn't even escape my tree without triggering a trap. Okay, maybe it isn't that full, but I've got a lot of traps made.
I wait in the tree without waking up. All around me, the forest is quiet. Nothing moves and nothing makes a sound. Except for three little piggies come to blow this house down... maybe not the right metaphor. Or is it a simile? Whatever, three wolves are coming my way, that's the point.
Boom! Yeah bitch, get caught! I get out my bow and great ready to kill a bitch, and BOOM! Bitch one goes down! A wolf was hit by a trap and got stuck, and my arrow killed it! Fuck you, bitch-ass wolf!
Who da man? Who da mayun? It's me, mutha fucka! I've got to calm down, it was just a wolf. Getting ahold of myself, I search for the other wolves...
Damn, I only got one. It looks like two other traps were set off, but it didn't immobilize any other wolf, and certainly didn't kill them.
In the morning, when I pick up the dead wolf, the first thing I do is take out my arrow. I've only got the of these, so I can't let a single one be lost. I think I can use it again, and I put it in my inventory. With the wolf, I take it and hoist it up onto a branch near where I sleep, but far enough away for the smell to not get to me. It is rather cold around here, so it is not rotting too much, but the blood is everywhere.
I hope nothing big is attracted by the smell.
After setting some more traps, and using the teeth from the dead wolf to make them more efficient, I gather wood. With wood, I can try to build a wall around my little tree, and maybe have a safe place to build other things at. I also need to make a fire eventually, but I'm not too worried about that. I haven't eaten since I've been here, and I don't feel sleepy either. I just sleep whenever I want and I guess I would eat whenever I wanted if I had food.

Now that I think about it, I should have started in the city.

Local Minima
[Entry for the June Royal Road Community Magazine Contest] A prisoner named Gemmei is gifted a chance to put her life on a better track after being transferred to the Hibiya Correctional Complex, a lower security prison allegedly intended for less violent offenders. However even though the walls keeping her in are no longer visible, plenty of barriers are in the way that prevent Gemmei from returning to the world she once took for granted. Chief among them is the Houzou Hakkyou, a special tattoo every prisoner in the system receives that alters how they can think and feel through forced sedation. The curse the Hakkyou enforces ensures compliance and docility among the inmates, but as Gemmei finds out, cruelty is born from more than emotion alone.

Binary of Life and Death
Monsters, gold, chaos, glory, adventure, what more could attract two of the greatest players of all time to Sugarea, the most popular MMORPG of its time. But everyone makes errors, and unfortunate for these two brilliant players, they have made the grave mistake of not actually sleeping like normal humans and missed out on the very moment the new Dark Legion update would take effect. Or did they? They wake in what seems familiar yet not, but they soon realize their predicament. They are inside their game avatar's bodies! A half-Demon and a Dragonoid are now struggling with more than just power, these two men have to find their new purpose and calling in a completely different world. Will they concur it like ordinary land or will they enlighten the planet into equality? Do figures pull strings in the dark or is everything open to the public eye? Nothing is certain except the unknown, and nothing is ever as it seems... This is an Isekai story, as such, some parts may sound either cliché or similar to others, but I assure you, I tried to prevent that. To make it known, I took quite a lot of inspiration from the light novel/anime Overlord, but that doesn't mean it's a direct rip-off of it. You'll find there to be quite the amount of differences. Just a little heads up as well, you should expect irregular uploads, as it takes me a long time to write each chapter. I am currently trying for once every other week on Sundays around 10:00 A.M. Chapters are usually 7k words and up, with the longest (chapter 3) being 10.3k words. So, if you like to sit down and read a long chapter every two weeks at 10:00 A.M. EST on Sundays, then you can waste your time here! Small disclaimer: Profanity is far and few between, and mostly used by side characters, rarely the main character. When something with gore happens, I describe to the best of my ability, which will only get better the longer I write this... :) Small cuts between perspectives happen, and can hide what some characters do, which will be revealed in future chapters, I'm not that lazy... all the time... There are some parts that are long blocks of text, most, if not all, of them, are characters talking, but I try not to info dump. I know one of the tags says "Psychological", and for the most part, it is, but it's not as prominent as other stories, instead, it's more hidden and scattered, but I did try to make the pieces I did reveal all fit together. Cover art is bound to be changed when I have a good picture to use, so the Yin-Yang is a placeholder for now unless yall wanna gimme something to use *wink wink nudge nudge*. So yeah, please give it a try, as I have nothing better to do with my life, and I am banking solely off of a career in literature and am hoping that I can create a story that can actually be called something more than a child's imagination running wild. The eventual and inevitable end to the story won't be for a long while, at least till chapter 40 or so. I have thought long and hard about the message and themes at play, so I hope you, the reader (who has some amazing hair btw), can enjoy and partake on this adventure with me into my dark empty pit of an imagination.
