《Wrath of The Dragon Slayer》Volume 1: Chapter 5: Magna Sevel
Advertisement
“What the hell is our leader thinking? Inviting a human kid to join us! He will get himself roasted into a dragon steak!”
Magna Sevel, an elven member of Dragon Hunters could only cringe in disapproval.
In their group, the leader’s decision is the final one.
Even if that decision is ludicrous or crazy at best, and disastrous at worst.
And to make the matters worse, Magna was assigned as Arma’s mentor of sorts, supposedly to teach him the ropes of the trade.
“I will leave the kid in your hands, Magna-kun!” Magna remembered the image of Akara holding a thumb up while essentially pawning off Arma to him.
‘Why me? I may look like this, but I am not a kid!’ as a member of elven race, his age did not match his looks. He may looks like a rather young man barely out of puberty, but in reality, he was older than most members of Dragon Hunters.
‘Still, the kid is not completely hopeless’
Arma learned every skill rather quickly for a human, even if it was just an ordinary task of skinning a chicken or a wild goose or any kind of bird.
‘I did want to see his learning process or at least how fast he learns. It seems he does not have any problem with his willingness to learn’
‘Still, I wonder, what could he be thinking about?’
Magna proceeded to activate his talent, the Mind Gaze.
It allowed him to read the thoughts of others, though only one person at a time.
Magna: ‘Dragons. That’s all he thinks about. Dragons. Every action he takes, no matter how remotely, he will associate with dragons. Is he sane in the head?’
Then he peered a little deeper.
The voice inside Arma’s head kept saying the same thing over and over again.
‘Must consume. Must consume….’
Magna: “What the hell is going on inside that boy’s head?”

Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.

8 188Earth's First Dungeon
Reginald Montgomery was a high class Rules Lawyer, specializing in the 'art' of Min-Maxing a Character. He had been the secret behind the ability of the Guild 'Eternal Gamer' being able to obtain the World First Clears of various MMOs for the last five years. The political entities of the world had hidden the imminent approach of a gigantic meteor, of similar size to the one that theoretically wiped out the dinosaurs, until it was able to be spotted by high powered astronomical telescopes. The United Nations sends nukes into a crater located deep on the meteor, breaking it into millions of smaller fragments, except for around two areas, where there was a building that looked like an old school Roman temple and one where there was a giant metallic cube. The cube crashed into Reginald's backyard, and his 'gamer' senses were itching at the chance of supremely valuable loot. Upon investigating, he is injected with a control crystal for a 'Construction Core', but when it releases an extremely high density of pressurized mana, his body seizes up and the Core draws his mind into it before merging the control crystal back into the Core and retreating into the Cube and digging itself deeper. Two months later, Reginald becomes aware again, only to find out that nothing is as it was and he is now the Earth's First Dungeon...
