《The True Jack of all Trades》The Jack of all Trades

Dean walked through the gate into what looked like a bright white room. He looked around and only saw one figure, a girl. It was the girl. Dean turned and approached her. She returned around and gave a wide smile.
“It’s been a while, hasn't it?” she said. Dean just looked at her. He didn’t know what to feel. He wanted answers, and he wanted them now.
“Who the hell are you?” Dean asked.
“Is it that important?” Dean went to grab his sword but found that he could not move.
“Quite violent are we?” the girl said, “I haven't even done anything to you and you're trying to attack me?”
“I just want you to leave me alone.”
“And why would I do that, after all, I gave you that power you're using.”
“What?!?” Dean was dumbfounded. This crazy woman gave him his abilities? “Why me?”
“You're the person that my brother chose many millennia ago.”
“I wasn’t even alive back then, so you're lying.”
“HAHAHAHAHA,” the girl laughed hysterically, “Do you think that I’m human or something? I’m a literal fucking god!”
“But it still doesn't make any sense how the guy chose me.” Dean responded calmly, “Unless he could somehow see into the future.”
The girl sighed, “Whatever, fate will pull you to your destination eventually.” She snapped her fingers and a door appeared. It looked like it was made of black iron and was rusty.
“You are free to go,” The girl said. Dean felt he could move again and walked towards the door.
“Wait,” the girl said, “There is one more thing.” Dean turned around.
“My name, It’s Lucifer.” Before Dean could say anything, he was sucked into the door.

Dean was sucked into what looked like a cathedral. In front of him was the woman who appeared on the first day only this time, she had a pair of wings.
“Congratulations,” she said, “You have passed the trial and gained access to the world of Eden.”
Dean felt unimpressed by what she said, it felt too rehearsed. “That's cool I guess.”
The woman stepped to the side and revealed a small table with a crystal ball on it. “Touch this stone and you will be given one of many classes to accompany you on your journey.” Dean walked up to the stone and put his hand on it. The orb glowed a gray color before it quickly shifted to a bright red.
“Outstanding,” the woman said, “You got a unique class. You are going to etch your name in history.” Dean smiled and saw a door appear, this time it was white. “Now warrior, go make a name for yourself. Dean sighed and walked through the door.
-----
Dean was greeted with the sounds of people conversing and yelling. He looked down and saw that the place was a hotel. It looked like people who were also taken away were here ranging from businessmen to school girls. “Hey Dean, over here!” Dean turned toward the yelling and saw Rei waving her hand with the rest of the group. He walked over to their table and sat down. “What class did you get?” Rei asked.
“How do I see it?”
“You look at your stats from your symbol on your hand.”
Dean tapped his hand and looked at his stats

Dean saw that all of his stats had improved. It was like they were being held back and jumped up to where they were supposed to be. Dean was confused when he saw that Black Arrow was “Ready to Evolve”. He didn’t know what that meant, but it sounded like it was gonna be good.
“My class is The Jack of all Trades,” Dean told Rei.
“Cool, mine is Magic Swordsman,” Rei said, “Stella got Fire Mage, John got Ranger, Riz got Magic Warrior, and Robin got Wizard.”
“Sounds good.”
“We got gifts as well. As you can see, I got a new sword.” Rei lifted what looked to be a longsword. It had a red hilt and a stainless steel blade. “Where’s your gift?”
“The lady didn’t hand me one.”
“Did you check your pockets?” Dean sighed and reached into his pockets, there was something there. He pulled out what looked like black leather gloves. ‘What the hell,’ Dean thought, ‘Why gloves?’
“You should put them on,” Rei said, “A pop-up will tell you what they are if you do.” Dean put on the gloves and a pop-up did indeed appear.
[Gloves of Creation]
-- The Jack was always referred to as a jester because he could not master a skill. Instead, The Jack went traveling looking for a new purpose. The first skill he learned was blacksmithing, creating his first item, a pair of gloves, imbued with the same power as him.--
Dean looked at the message with surprise, ‘It sounds cool, but what do they do?’
“Did you figure it out?” Rei asked.
“Yeah, but I don’t know what they do.”
“The message usually gives a hint as to what they do.” Dean looked at the message again and understood. Dean put the gloves back on and put his magic power into them, creating a sword.
“Whoa, that's pretty cool.” Dean made the sword morph into a pair of knuckle dusters and then a dagger. ‘So that’s what it meant by the same power as him.’
Dean’s thoughts were interrupted by a man walking into the lobby. “Hello everyone,” he said, “I am Richter Eisenhower, the master of the International Fixer Association.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.

The Villain's Double Life
“The Villain’s Double Life as the Hero’s Mentor," “Demon Nobles Want to Live Too: A Hero-Raising Simulator for the Transmigrated Villain," “Just Because I’m a Villain Doesn’t Mean I Want the World to End!” Cyrus Calvide was the second son of an aristocratic lord; haughty, vain and power-hungry. One day, when his ancestral inheritance manifested, he discovered he was able to steal other’s powers and abilities using demonic magic. Taking this as a sign that he was destined to rule over others and become the new king of this land, he poisoned his father, killed his elder brother, and embarked on the path to greatness, taking advantage of a demonic invasion to consolidate power and harvest the abilities of others in a cruel and bloody fashion. Until he was summarily defeated by the Hero as a mid-game boss battle and executed for his crimes, of course. When a dedicated fan of the RPG “Next to Eden” awakened in the body of the cruelest future Count, four years before the beginning of the game, he pledged to live humbly. He would let his brother lead and support the Hero from the shadows to ensure the demon invasion would be defeated and he could enjoy life in peace. Rather, he would have, if he hadn’t gotten the Hero’s mentor killed in a freak monster attack before the Hero’s training could even begin. How was he supposed to live a life of peace and luxury if the Hero couldn’t stop the end of the world!? Donning a mask, Cyrus took up mentoring the Hero himself; how hard could it possibly be? . . . Four years later, the kind jack-of-all-trades hero Leon had become a twisted powerhouse: alienating his party members, clearing enemy encounters in a single magical blast, and coldly ignoring the affections of the girl whose love would have allowed him to clear the final boss. He seemed to have plastered himself to his Master’s side, instead. Cyrus bit back his despair while the hero reached out to grasp his hand. “Please stop ignoring the saint, Leon; you can't beat the Demon King by grinding stats! You need the power of love, remember?” “Don’t worry, Master,” Leon smiled as he traced the lines of Cyrus’s palm gently, almost reverently. “I have all the love I need.” VDL is two parts plot and worldbuilding, one part slow-build gay romance, starring a man far too proud to admit he's in over his head and the hero who loves him. Should be updating weekly.
