《The World Of Divinity》The Beginning!

Alex lay flat on his bed as he strapped his helmet on. Closing his eyes and drifting away.
[Synchronising 1%. 4%.. 7%... 80%... 99%.. Complete]
[Welcome to The World Of Divinity]
Alex took in the surroundings as he saw a robed lady standing in front of him. The room pure white without anything dirtying it.
'Hahaha this really is the starting room.'
Alex felt all different kinds of emotions overcome him as a lump in his throat caused him too lose his breath for a second. Up until the stunning beauty in front of him woke him from his thoughts.
[Welcome adventurer, my name is Xiao. I am your guide to the lower realm.
Shall we begin.
Please pick a class from the following:
Note: These 12 jobs were categorized into 4 main classes.
Warrior: Guardian Knight, Shield warrior and Berserker.
Combat Specialist: Swordsman, Assassin, Ranger and Archer.
Healer: Cleric or Druid.
Mage: Elementalist, Summoner and Cursemaser.
Warriors specialized in defending by blocking damage and then returning it. Often or not they were the once to have the beasts focus on them. So often or not they were referred to as the 'Tank' high Vitality and study defence. Reliable teammates and a crucial part of the team.
Combat Specialists are damage dealers. They are a class that focuses on eliminating the target. While everyone else is distracting the target this classes role is to make sure their enemies die.
Healers are exactly what they sound like. Instead of dealing damage or blocking attacks they replenish the teams health.
Mages are a unique character as they focus on magic attacking or defending with different spells. They are a class of versatility and freedom to customise.]
[Please note brave wanderer that these classes have many different outcomes later down the line. Although possible to change classes it is incredibly difficult.]

[Please pick wisely.]

In his previous life Alex had picked Assassin and he was a world renown assassin as he danced through the battlefield causing mischief. He once again picked the role of Assassin as it was what he was most comfortable with.
"There's no point disregarding my 10 years of experience." He muttered to himself.
[Job selection complete. Please give your character a name.]
Alex without much thought immediately typed in Zero.
[Naming successful. Binding name to character. Done. Do you wish to change character appearance by 5%?]
Alex thought about this and decided to click yes. Although it was only 5% it would be useful up until he had enough status later on and could rely on a backing to get rid of any danger from enemies in real life.
[Please selected a birthplace or click random to spawn at a generated town.]
Alex thought about it and immediately made his selection. After all, there was no place better than the place which he was most comfortable. The place which he selected in his past life.
[Red Leaf Town.]
[City confirmed. Happy Gaming.]
All of a sudden Alex was hit with a wave of noise, smells and sights. Standing in a midst of a swarm of players.
The buildings in the town were in a style of medieval yet upgrade almost. The streets were chaotic with NPC's and players alike. Stalls of trade and shops could be seen at the sides of the street. Restaurants for leisure and decorations stood out.
Alex was taking back slightly as he was reminiscing.
"I'm back."
'First things first.'
"Status."
Character: Zero (Human)
Title: None
Job: weapon specialist - Assassin
Tier: 0
HP 100/100
MP 80/80
Strength: 5
Vitality: 3
Agility: 2
Intelligence: 3

Free Attribute points: 4
Free Skill Points: 2
Job Talent: Assassin
Skill - Basic Stealth. (Active Skill.) Chop. (Active Skill.) requirement dagger: strength 8. (Skill upgrade 1/300 LVL 1.)
Equipment:
(Novice level) Cloak x1 Arm Guards x2 Lightweight vest x1
+2 strength +1 vitality
durability 15/15
(Novice level Dagger) x2 Requirement: strength 5
Durability 50/50
Checking in his bag Alex also held 3 silvers which was equivalent to 300 coppers. He also had 5 pieces of cornbread and 2 bottles of clear water.
Every Assassin started out with the same stats and every player started out with the same amount of free attribute points and skill points. Attribute points were for placing into strength or the like and skill points were the requirement to learn a new skill.
Alex quickly placed the 4 free attribute points into agility as assassins had to be fast. A slow assassin was a walking skeleton. Increasing his agility all the way up to 6. Instantly he felt a warmth flow through him as he now felt somewhat lighter than before.
"Now then to level up."
Alex swiftly left the bundle of new players and made his way through the streets. He saw players sprinting off to grind monsters trying to get ahead of the curve. Alex however wasn't going to do that yet.
"Where is that old man again?" muttered Alex trying to recall where to receive the hidden quest. Making his way through the back allies he found a man tucked way feasting on a bottle of alcohol.
"Old man, do you need some help?" said Alex
"What could a snott nose kid possibly help me with. Get lost."
"Hahaha, Old man don't get ahead of yourself just yet. This snott nose kid just happens to know where that 'Thing' is."
"Whatt!" shouted the old man in surprise. "Your not kidding me are you. If you can return me my badge of honour then I'd truly owe you."
[Quest received: Locate and return the old man's badge of honour.
Reward: 3000 XP, 1000+ Favourability with the old man.
Failure: -2 favourability in Red Leaf Town.
Do you accept: yes or no]
Alex grinned as he clicked yes.
Although the quest rewards weren't major and in fact the failure for the mission was harsh as negative favourability meant it would be harder to walk about in the town and purchasing items would be more expensive. What truly mattered was getting the favour of the old man. As this was in fact a chain mission that later could dish out a ton of experience.
"Not to worry old man, I'll be back later on with badge in hand." replied Alex as he turned and left leaving the man to his alcohol.
Where Alex was heading was where level 5-10 level monsters spawned. The creak. It was a common levelling spot for beginners outside the town. However, currently their was no one in the entire game that was than level 3. So going into the creak seemed like a total death trap.
If people were to find out they'd simply call Alex or better yet 'Zero' suicidal.
Alex on the other hand could because he had what nobody in the world had right now. 10 years of combat experience at the highest level.

The Legend of Ghost
This is a quick novella origin story to one of fan-favorite characters in the ZERO universe, Sam Dobbs, a.k.a. Slade Gardner, a.k.a. the Ghost. I wrote it for current ZERO series fans, after many insistent, fervent, teary-eyed demands. Still, I think it pretty much works as a stand-alone, so I'll post it here. (He gets the name Ghost later, not as part of this story...this is just the why he decided to do what he did, being slightly insane and all.) Lots of easter eggs for current fans. 15k words total, chapters will be approx. 2.5k each. Oh, and if you get turned off by crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials being crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials, this isn't the story for you. ;)
8 162Radiant Earth: Emergence
In a world where monsters and man must coexist, a teenage boy comes to terms with his half-human self. He writes of his struggles and choices in a red leather journal, one which he intends for his future child. It is a story of emergence, a coming of age, or a transformation of the self through which all people go through. But not all transformations are for the better. And not all things can be forgiven.
8 402Killing Roar: Part 2: Mortal Mewling
Part 2 - Mortal Mewling: Perry's been living his dream in the guard, fighting spike feeders, proving himself to be a valuable member of the community, but his many concerns linger, weighing him down with more questions and regrets. The strange event within the dungeon. The rise of the prey-movement. The critical mass of spike feeders looming around the corner. Things have been going wrong for Titan City, and it feels like they're only going to get worse. Can he help save what he's worked for or will it all fall to ruin? Part 1 - Killing Roar: When Perry was blessed with a platypus beast soul, he thought his chances of joining the village guard were over. No one had every heard of a platypus. It seemed like an obvious prey soul, given it wasn't in the village's records. Only the strongest could be part of the village guard. He thought that would never get the chance to defend the village from the spike feeders, the deadly creatures jutting out with hazardous spikes haphazardly all over. Only predator beast souls were given the requisite training and allowed to join the village guard. Perry just didn't meet their criteria. He was also wrong.Soon Perry will live out his wildest dreams and more, as he scales the rankings of beast soul mastery, fights innumerable dangerous spike feeders and solves mysteries related to the origin of beast souls and spike feeders. And maybe, just maybe, he'll even get to join the city guard. Genre-wise, Mortal Mewling is a GameLit story (light on the GameLit) focused on action and adventure. The Gore tag is there more as a precaution, rather than a promise to keep producing gory words. Mortal Mewling is a bit of a slow burn in terms of start, scale and capacity of the protagonist. Book 2... has now begun! Updates Monday and Thursday
