《The Misadventures of a Young Dark Magician》Episode 16 (Part 2)

Bridget, Midoricha, and Gurenji made it to a part of the region where the green had resided. They went through the odd forest in search of the antidote.
“There’s so much green in this place, too much of it!” Gurenji said in a disgusted tone.
“There’s also a lot of bugs around here too,” Midoricha added.
“Well, yeah. There are a bunch of crazy and different worlds out there. You never know what happens in each of them...”
“Huh.”
Just then, a familiar female voice called out to them.
“Guys, can you hear me?”
“Was that Saki I just heard?” Bridget asked.
“I think I heard it too,” Gurenji replied.
“Please, listen to me.” The Princess pleaded. “You must leave this place at once.”
“But why?” Bridget questioned.
“Yeah, why?” Gurenji and Midoricha added in unison.
“It’s dangerous; more enemies have invaded the world. If you don’t make it out of there—”
“But what about your mom?” Gurenji asked, “Weren’t we going to—?”
“I know, but...”
“No, we’ll take our chances.” Bridget interrupted. “We promised to get the antidote for you, right, Saki?”
“Yeah, we won’t give up!” Gurenji agreed.
“Well, ok, I trust you guys,” Murasakiiro replied.
“All right, let’s get going, then!” Bridget declared.
“Yeah!” Midorichi and Gurenji nodded in agreement before heading off once again.
“You know, that’s the first time I’ve heard you agree with me on something.” Bridget pointed out.
“Well, of course,” Gurenji responded proudly. “What you said was 101% correct.”
“I, also, agree,” Midoricha added.
“You’ve been quiet lately, Midoricha...” Bridget commented.
“Well, I didn’t want to get yelled at by Gurenji again.”
“Look, about that...” Gurenji began. “What I meant by that is you shouldn’t state the obvious all the time.”

“Oh, now I get it.”
A rustle in the bushes got the group’s attention. Bridget turned and watched as a strange creature jumped out from the bushes. It had heads and limbs attached to one giant flabby blob with red eyes, purple arms, and a black swarming torso.
As it walked towards them in an unsettling way, Bridget, Midoricha, and Gurenji all made a break for it and sprinted away.
They ran for their lives, trying not to trip and get caught by the strange creature until they came across a cliff. Stuck in a tight spot, with little time to think of a way out of their mess, the blobs inched closer to them. The Pilkons could probably float away, but what would that leave Bridget?
“What should we do now?” Gurenji asked.
“Jump!” Bridget yelled.
“What? Are you out of your mind?” Gurenji doubled back in shock.
“That's a fantastic idea; let’s do it!” Midoricha exclaimed.
Without looking back, Bridget leaped off the cliff, with the other two Pilkon following right behind her. Gurenji and Midoricha grabbed on to Bridget’s feet so she could float down safely onto the ground.
After separating from her feet, the three looked up as the creatures didn’t follow them. Then again, considering how steep the cliff was, they couldn’t be sure if it wasn’t following them.
“Man, that was a close one.” Bridget sighed in relief.
“My head hurts,” Gurenji complained.
“And that’s a long way up from here,” Midoricha commented. “Guess there’s no turning back now.”
“Tell me about it,” Gurenji muttered bitterly.
“Let’s get going then. Hopefully, we should be almost there...” Bridget proclaimed.
She continued to walk the path in front of her, with the Pilkons not too far behind.

Forged in Fear and Fury - An Apocalyptic LitRPG
In an attempt to prevent Earths ensuing demise, it is ripped from the void by an entity known as The Totality. It is then fused with a Lost Dungeon World to increase its inhabitants chances of survival in a new, system-enhanced universe. Cade Vale barely avoids death in the first second. Will he be able to overcome the rigors of this new world and survive? Will he be able to carve a new life out of the aether for himself and those whom he loves most? ...Will he be able to avoid becoming everything he hates in order to do so? Artwork by Kayla Basciano - Instagram: vulpix1323 Inspired primarily by the systems in The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound, The Genesis System, and The New World as well as by Savage Divinity, Azarinth Healer, and Shovels in Spades in general. I haven't been able to get these worlds out of my head and I've been waiting for something to fill the void left by the hiatus of Genesis, but so far nothing has scratched that itch as much as ProfoundMagician was able to with the world he created. I figure if I'm going to be thinking about this stuff as much as I do I might as well get better at writing while playing with a number of those ideas that I love. I have a number of specifics and events I want to show in the story, but a lot of the fun is coming up with ways to branch those together cohesively. This is an attempt to alleviate my depression by channeling my creativity into a hobby. Hopefully it's as enjoyable to read as it is to write.

The Adventurer's Guild(master)
In a world of adventure, magic, and kingdoms, only one man can keep it all from falling apart. As much as he wished that wasn't the case. This is the story of the man who became the guild master of the most prestigious adventurer's guild in the kingdom, and then came to completely regret that decision, as he is forced to keep the peace, file paperwork, and babysit adventurers. The life of a guild master is not as great as it once seemed. Note: The prologue is an extended -probably should have not took it that far- joke and is completely skippable from the rest of the series. This is my first work on this website, or on any website to be honest, so criticism is more than welcome. Feel free to leave comments on any chapter, not just the latest one.

An Invisible Girl
Not all Isekai is Human This is the story of the last survivor of her race, who is offered the option to be reborn in another world to continue the fight against the monsters that consumed her species. The new world is a horrible death world. It is filled with both beauty and horror, strange sentients of various types and perhaps the most dangerous monsters ever conceived. Humans. Two aliens. two violently opposed cultures. Is One little world big enough for both of them? First note: Please don't expect immediate action and slaughter and sex. There's a lot of conversation, drama, and interaction, as she learns about her new world. Second note: This is not 'humans as monsters'. It is more like "There are monsters, but humans can make their own". Technically I guess it qualifies as a system apocalypse, but it never really hits the apocalypse parts. Third note: This IS a Litrpg and the 'classes' provide some superhero-style action, eventually. It isn't strictly superhero, though. a lot of bits are contemporary fantasy, some are pure sci-fi, and some are superhero, depending on how people choose their new abilities. The overall theme is technically sci-fi, but soft like a baby. Fourth note: there is some sexuality (not sex) involving a protagonist in a 17-year-old body. Her mind is over 50 years old, though, and the body was created at that age in order to give her 6 months' leeway to learn to be human. This is not juvenile sex stuff, as the character is fully adult, just not adult as a Human.Plus it's mostly included for humor and alien context.
