Where am I?...
----------------
It feels warm…
----------------
I hear a faint voice
----------------
“You------”
----------------
Huh?
----------------
“You did it! I knew you could do it!”
-------------------------
… ‘Who are you?’
-------------------------
-------------------------
-------------------------
*sniff sniff* I heard sniffles around me as I slowly woke up.
“FENIX! You’re awake!!!!”
As I slowly woke up, I started to regain my vision. Ayuzawa is here… and there’s another girl? She’s holding my hand with a solemn look on her face, she was crying without making any noise.
Although, I woke up… it looks like she doesn’t want to see me or face me. Is it perhaps the girl I saved?
“Why?”
The girl asked as her crying intensifies.
“Why?” I said in confusion to her question.
“Why would you save someone you just met? Why not be like the ones who ran away and used me as a decoy?”
“When there’s someone in need… is there really a reason to ask why? Why would you save someone? Perhaps it’s not logical in surviving, or it might seem like it was a dumb move to risk my life to try to save someone else’s I’ve never knew. Well, to be honest, I’d admit that it was also a dumb move to make, but my body acted on it’s own and so did my heart. If I could save someone I would make that choice anyday anytime.”
*sniff*sniff* “It doesn’t make sense… YOUR ACTIONS DON’T MAKE SENSE!” she shouted at me and plunged her chest onto the bed weeping and crying while grasping my hands.
“It’s okay, as long as you’re safe that’s all that matters to me.” I said as I gently caressed her head resting on my body.
“So, I’m really sorry to ask about your traumatic experience, but what was that all about? The cause of the incident and why did your guildmates abandon you?”

“It… it’s not a bright story to tell… I was abandoned…. It’s actually not a very new story, I was always mistreated in my guild… being the one who held aberrant powers in comparison to the norms nowadays. I’ve always been treated badly and I’ve always been at the short end of the stick. Being treated badly, forced to support them always their lap dog… I was always forced to do their bidding be it inhumane… I had to do it, or more like I was forced to. During our skirmishes to the dungeon levels I would also always be forced to support them and always acted as a bait… even after all of the hard work and most dangerous positions being covered by me… they always take 95% of all of the earnings of that session and threw the remaining at my face… I HATE IT… I’m… so sick and tired of this, I was actually slightly relieved that I was finally going to die… I can’t live like this any longer.”
“Why do people always have to be like this.” I muttered to myself in annoyance.
“Well, do you want to join my guild …….. Etto, I forgot to ask for you name.”
“My name is Kuyomi Yanai”
“Alright, then Kuyomi Yanai, do you want to join my…. Nevermind, will you join my guild? I promise you that it’s a guild of compassion and passion.”
“Hehhh- you would even go so far as to invite me to your guild even after saving my life… I have a cursed power on me that caused me to be distrusted and treated as a monster ever since I it became physically seen. And you’re telling me you want to recruit someone like that into your guild? I don’t understand.”

“To me, a cursed power is only something cursed if you believe so yourself, even if it’s cursed you yourself can change the darkness to the light. And who’s to say that cursed means it’s bad? I don’t believe so, neither should you. I believe that that cursed power would prove to be your strongest weapon and your greatest light in a certain point of your life.”
Kuyomi’s burst into tears after hearing me.
“Th-Thank you so much Fenix, I would gladly accept your guild invite.”
Mei looked at us with a content smile.
“さすがfenixです”

Back at Fenix’s home.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Well then, Kuyomi, let’s begin the ritual.”
“... Yes!” she said as she sat on a stool beside of the einrit
“Please remove your shirt, I need direct contact with your back.”
Kuyomi does as she’s told albeit being flustered.
“KYAAA~” she squealed as I placed my hand on her bare back.
“Wh-wh-what? What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, please proceed.”
“Okay, if you say so.”
I focused my energy and brought upon the energy that was flowing in the einrit towards my body. A cyan light can be seen floating from the einrit around me swirling in a soothing river pattern around my body. As I feel the energy surround me I focused on using this energy to materialize an insignia on Kuyomi’s back, the cyan stream can be seen flowing into Kuyomi. It ultimately became a floating circle behind of Kuyomi and pushed onto her back burning an insignia on her.
“Do you have a statistics card Kuyomi?”
“Yes, I do, do you need it?”
“ Yes, I need it to update your stats and your guild. Could you hand it over?”
As I received the statistics card I had a closer inspection on the card, it was a plain white statistics card that had roughened up edges and slight burns. It barely looked like it resembled a rectangle.
“Uwaghhh, this statistics card is in bad shape? Was this also the work of your guildmates?”
“Yes.”
“It’s okay, this will work, we’ll definitely earn enough to buy you a proper one too, this just won’t do.”
Upon hearing those words, Kuyomi slowly welled up tears in her eyes, they were words that were gentle and warm, unlike those she’s heard her whole life. It was someone who was kind to her.
As how I’ve always been updating statistics card, I focused the energy of the einrit and my energy towards the card, a cyan light landed on the card vertically and spread out as if it was a smoke circle. The card was updated.
“While I’m at it, I should probably update my statistics card too.”
"Here you go Kuyomi, you're updated stat card."

Duck Around and Find Out
Flap never wanted to be anything more than a pond duck. He was perfectly happy with his life of mating, migrating, and eating fish. But all that changed when a spacefaring race of war-crazed giant chickens confused him for Earth's greatest gladiator, all on account of a sketchy lease deal from a few million years prior. Now Flap is Earth's Champion, unwittingly wrapped up in a high stakes conflict almost as old as time itself. Armed with a real dumbass of an artificial intelligence, a brain full of pop culture mush, and a hybrid body courtesy of an Academy Award-winning actor, Flap now has all the tools he needs to prevail in the bloody contest. The only question is whether he can learn to use them to save the Galaxy before his implant drives him nuts. Duck Around and Find Out is an absurd adventure across space and pond featuring GameLit elements, more movie and tv references than you can shake a stick at, and a cast of anthropomorphic animals that would make a furry cream their pants. Do you like ducks? And do you like space? Are you also a weirdo? If you answered yes to all three, this just might be the story for you. So if you're brave enough, Duck Around and Find Out.

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
