《Pokémon: A Story of the End》Burden

Biermann’s PoV
We have been chasing the burglars for quite some while now. Radio even ran out of Initial D music so he resorted to Mario Kart music.
Eventually, we lost them in a large crowd and we stopped to rest for a bit.
“How d-do they have such great st-stamina...” “W-well they are probably accustomed to running from the cops. We should give up on following them and just find a place to rest, the sun has met the horizon by now afterall.” Monika suggested. I nodded and we went to a store to buy some food and water. As she was buying the items, I could feel sinister eyes glaring at us. When she finished purchasing the utilities we left the building and I whispered: “We should get out of here. My elbows are shivering and that’s a bad sign.” She just nodded and we escaped the mass of heads.
Once in a more quiet part of the labyrinthine city, we sought shelter in a now abandoned building. Using our backpacks as pillows and luckily because of the warm temperatures, we didn’t need any blankets.
I closed my eyes. I was finally able to rest peacefully, but I couldn’t fall asleep since a disturbing feeling moved through my body, like I was being stared at. It felt like something... was breathing on me...
I opened my eyes. “Shsllslllsp” “AHHHHH!” I woke up in shock and moved a few meters backwards. Monika woke up and asked what’s wrong and Radio sung “AnnieareyouOK?” I just pointed at the seemingly evil predator that was hanging above my head just a second ago.
“Hmm isn’t that a Bellsprout?”
The Bellsprout jumped around happily and suggested with sign language that he gave me vine arms. “Shhlslhsllsh!” He jumped on my head with his mouth and when he let go there suddenly was a hat.

“Hmmm pretty cool. I’m gonna catch you and call you Wardrobe!” “Weren’t you afraid of him just a second ago?” “What are you talking about. Me? Scared? Muhahaha! Mad Scientists don’t get scared! Now get in the ball Wardrobe!” “I caught the incomprehensible Grass type and let him out the Pokéball.
Just when we went back to sleep, some Noibat flew over. “Radio, Electric Boogaloo! Wardrobe, Belt of Grass!” They attacked and scared away the small Noibat. Soon after we heard a loud screach as the residence shook heavily. Outside appeared the dragon bat Pokémon, Noivern. Holy Cow!
“Run!” We ran for our lifes in order to escape kicking any buckets. The Noivern flew after us and with its sonic booms and large wings, it knocked down large pillars that held up the dilapidated apartment. We were being chased by a huge monster and the building we were in started crumbling down. It felt like a scene from Teddiursa Jones.
“DUN DUN DUNDUN! DUN DUNDUN!” “WHY ARE YOU HUMMING A SONG?!”
“RADIO THIS IS SO SAD, PLAY THE TEDDIURSA JONES THEME!” He did as I said as we barely escaped the tumbling structure.
The Noivern seemed to have gone down the complex. We were safe again, for now.
“You killed the big bad boss Noivern the Screecher! Come follow us and the Chill One will reward you!” Some Alolan Rattata talked to us and wanted us to follow them. I explained to Monika and she was okay, since if we didn’t, who knows how long we would survive!

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

The True Endgame
What defines endgame content? Is it raiding epic dungeons to take down the strongest bosses there are, or is it facing off against other players to climb the ladder and become the top PvPer? Is endgame content gathering materials and crafting the strongest and most exotic equipment that there is, or is it all about playing the market and amassing more wealth than everybody else? Some people even argue that fashion and minigames are endgame content! Ryouta has already done all of that. Having spent most of his life playing MMO after MMO, he now finds himself wanting to live a virtual life that is far more relaxed and casual than what he is known for. To Ryouta, the true endgame is fishing. Cover illustrated by KoeHaru1!

How The Weak Live
This was a rough draft. Quite a meh one. The newer version is These Games of Ours. ---------- Lucious is deserter among many, living by dagger and beggary. Argento’s thirst for knowledge is endless, as is his belly. Kora is the perfect soldier, yet her sword grows dull in monotony. Formally known as the Empire's legend, the Captain is now stuck in stagnation. The Gods, grown weary of human deeds, have decided to indulge themselves in a different way. -------------- THE 7 REALLY IMPORTANT STUFF Clichés shall be avoided like the cancerous tumors they are. The world shall not spread its pink butt cheeks for the main character’s convenience. No character shall be thinner than one slice of white American cheese. No female character shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main character is. No villain shall serve to highlight how overpowered and fabulous the main characters are. Grammar laws shall be upheld sometimes. I, the author, swear not to be a prick. I, the author, swear not to go away without warning. If other LitRPGs are like Skyrim, then this is going to be a combination of Dark Souls and Total War. Don't expect action for the sake of action. Be warned, this is a slow novel. Read the reviews to see if this novel is a decent fit for you. Disclaimer: I do not own that gorgeous cover art.
