《You're Mecha-ing Me Crazy!》Chapter 7: Deal or No Deal?!
Advertisement
As I reached the table I noticed the guy had short blonde hair. He wore black shades indoors and had a lip piercing. His outfit was flashy to say the least. He wore a brown and black fur coat with black leather pants and some reptilian skinned boots.
Wow he looks decked out.
“Are you the waiter?” The guy stared me up and down. “Huh...you’re not an NPC?” The group he was with all looked around at each other. After a second, they bursted into laughter.
“A player working an NPC’s role?”
“That’s rich.”
“Aww poor kid.”
“How sad.”
“That’s pathetic.” The guy looked like he really felt sorry for my situation.
“Awwww” The girls on his arm squealed as the clung close to him.
Wait is my situation really that bad?
“Whatever, just get me everything on the menu, we’re going big today.” The guy motioned me away as the crowd he was with shouted in excitement.
Sigh.
I went to the back and got everything from the menu.
“Why so serious Rama? Don’t tell me that flamboyant looking fella over there has got you feeling down because of your current situation? Oh my oh my, don’t fret it, you’ll get there eventually, to be honest it’s not that bad working an NPC’s job ya’ know.”
I pinched Sheena’s cheek as she was talking.
“No no no no, I’ll become the number one player, don’t you worry, once the real manager gets back here I’ll be off on my way. An NPC’s job is nice, but it doesn’t hold a candle to being an actual player.”
“No no no no, an NPC’s job is far more prestigious and more important than a player’s job. Without us you players would be lost in the game dying left and right. Isn’t that what happened when Camille didn’t show you the way?”

“W-what, h-how do you know about that?”
“C’mon all the NPCs in town know. We know everything that happens between all of us.”
“HEY!”
The flamboyant guy walked up to the counter.
“What’s the hold up? Do you know who I am? I am THE Jack Wilder of the Six Gears. The man who they say has seduced Lady Luck. The one who’s been blessed by RNG. The man they call the CRIT KING.”
“He talks alot doesn’t he.”
“Yeah...”
“What did you two say?”
I could see his face pale as a ghost. It’s as if he’s never been told this before.
“You sure know how to make a snarky comment, do you even have the skills to back up your words? What’s your Otomech status? Any achievements?”
I nervously laughed as I looked away.
“I, uhh, chose the [Defense Frame]...as for the other things...”
Sheena snickered and was clearly laughing at me.
“Heheheheh. He doesn’t even have an Otomech yet.”
“WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?”
Sheena looked away smiling.
“Hohhhh, is that so.” Jack said under his breath.
Both Sheena and I looked at him. He had quite the sinister face going on.
“Let’s make a deal.”
The crowd behind him started cheering.
“HERE IT IS!”
“Jack’s signature catch phrase.”
“Kyyahhh~!”
Sheena and I looked at each other in bewilderment.
“Uhh, I actually don’t want to make a dea-”
“Shh, shh, shh” He placed his finger on my lips. “Hush my child, you will accept this deal because you have nothing to really lose. So here’s the thing, you must already have heard, but there’s to be a surprise event in this town soon.”
“But that’s just a rumor!” Sheena cut in. “None of the NPCs have heard anything about it.”

Jack waved his finger back and forth.
“They don’t call me Jack ‘Mr. 50/50 no scratch that, Mr. 100’ Wilder for nothing. My hunches have always been correct since the start of the game. Either way back to my bet. This will benefit both of us. If my hunch is correct this event is going to have us take down an [Event Boss]. If you don’t know this the Six Gears are highly competitive, not even I have disclosed this information to them yet. I’ll be the only one to slay this and get all the credit!”
I raised my hand slowly.
“SooooooOoOOoooOoo what do you want me to do? Like you heard before I don’t have an Otomech.”
Jack had a grin on his face.
“Don’t worry I have that covered. You said you chose the [Defense Frame] huh? That means you know how to draw aggro right?”
“I mean I guess...”
“Well, for this deal, you’re going to be my bait.”
“...”
“All you have to do is keep the [Event Boss] distracted, easy right?”
“What do I get out of this?”
“Fame?”
“No, not doing it then.”
“W-what...uh equipment for your Otomech?”
“Don’t even have an Otomech, not doing it.”
“Money?”
“No.”
“Mhmm, how bout I’ll owe you a favor.”
“Oh, now we’re talking, a favor from one of the Six Gears? It’s a deal.”
Jack and I shook hands.
“Remember, this deal will only go through when do you properly do you job and I successfully take it down.”
“Sounds good.”
Jack smiled and went back to his table. I could hear the cheers of the crowd getting loud as he made his way back.
“Are you sure about this Rama. You’re definitely going to make a fool outta yourself out there.”
“What do you mean Sheena? I’m good at doing the little jobs, this’ll be a piece of cake.”
Sudden Mission
The [Event Boss: Verodith] will appear in front of the [Beginner’s Town] in 10 minutes. Prepare yourself and get ready to take down the boss!
Every player received the notification, the event was about to begin. My first real gameplay and I don’t even have an Otomech yet...

Tautology
“Saying the same thing over and over again. For better or worse.” Aiden Lu awoke in a world that wasn’t his. There were familiarities, parallels, his old address, people he once knew, but people wielded superpowers, wondrous technology and magic beyond his age were used for the most mundane of tasks. Yet the world he awoke in was one dictated by constant conflict. Untold years ago, humanity crossed a line, a line that allowed integration to the wider Multiverse, an event that would later be known as The Apocalypse. Warp Gates to Otherworlds open completely at random, letting in alien things beyond comprehension or logic. Those who were blessed with power often give their lives to close these gates before the infections of alien realities become too great. The world is different in a way difficult for him to comprehend, yet there is a single difference that truly shook him, a sister dead in his old universe, alive but comatose here. Now reborn with his own unconventional power, he seeks to forge ahead, to continue on. Because in the end, a restart is a restart. One you can't hesitate to take advantage of. No matter where the path may lead, what can you do except to walk it? A modern post-post apocalypse story with both superpowers and high fantasy elements. Slow-paced and inspired by many of the things the author found enjoyable. Currently writing it for fun.

A Prose of Years
For decades, spiritualist Evert Kallstrom and his team have joined in humanity’s millennia-long fight against the beasts. Wielding their weapons and their ki, they fought and killed these great threats to civilization. And yet, despite their efforts, humanity was losing traction in the war. In the last fifty years alone, more cities had been overrun than in all of known history. While most thought the great beasts natural, a few knew the terrible truth. They were the product of a dark lord, who desired neither fame nor wealth nor power. Instead, his sole purpose was the genocide of humanity. While their peers dithered, a small faction of the strongest mankind had to offer—including Evert Kallstrom and his team—set out towards the Deadlands to find and confront this dark lord. After weeks of travel, twenty-one spiritualists found themselves approaching an ancient fortress wherein rested a being known only as the Eastern Guardian. All they found was death. But death has other plans for Evert. Evert bolts awake in his 16 year old body near his hometown, decades in the past. He is confused, poor and weak. But with grit, sweat, and years of experience, he won't let the future repeat itself. That level of strength won't be enough by itself (it wasn’t last time) and victory is hardly assured (he’ll need to reach farther and higher than he ever did), but Evert refuses to squander a second chance. [Other tags: First Person POV, Hard Magic, Faulty Memory] Volume 1 is complete and has been fully released. My current intention is not to write any sequel volumes. That said, I have also released appendices (SPOILERS) that cover the worldbuilding and future story-that-never-was. Comments suggesting fixes for grammar, misspellings, etc. appreciated. Note: If you came here from Candlelit Lives, these stories have nothing in common.

Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
