《Demon Artificer》1: Prologue
Advertisement
It all began on that nasty day, when I came back from yet another dungeon with bags full of loot.
As your typical "melee dps" without any skills of appraisal and repair, I came inside the shop where I usually repair my equipment and sell my loot.
Before I go too much into the details of my todays fatal accident, it will be better if I tell you a bit about myself.
As a "Dark Gamer" who lives from what little money I could scrape from the game.
I had an avatar that was packed with the exploits to the point I was a "cheat like character"...
I know what you say, that I'm cheap, that whatever problems I got from today's disaster I probably deserve 'em?
Well fuck you! When your game become something that puts money on a table, and food in your mouth, then and only then you can snarl at me...
Ok, ok. Back to the point. I came inside that shop and started to unload my bags, when one specific object drew the attention of the young clerk that was sitting behind the counter.
- What is this thing, strange... I can't even appraise it? (Young clerk)
In his hand he was holding a odd, almost transparent dark crystal that had a red menacing glow.
- Maybe your skill is too low, I'll better call your boss. (Me)
- I suggest that you'd better not do that Sir. (Young clerk)
- And why is that?! (Me)
- Because from last night he is so much wasted, that he can't stand, much less help you Sir. (Young clerk)
His words made me temporarily flabbergasted, but then I quickly got my shit together.
- You know what?! Fuck it! I'll sell this shit on auction! (Me)
Full of rage I quickly grabbed his hand, then forcefully tried to reclaim my item...

Suddenly the crystal in our hands glowed with a blinding light, and the world exploded with a loud crack.
When I came to, I immediately noticed that something was very wrong.
I started to feel sick to the point that my surrounding started changing to a warped spinning cascade of sounds and images..
I felt strange, like someone who is trying to push the right foot in the left shoe, and that is definitely dangerous in VR games.
WARNING!!!

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

Dungeon Crawler Katia
The aliens killed everyone on Earth...almost. Every structure, from the Taj Mahal to the lowliest lobster trap, vanished into the earth, killing everyone inside. The survivors were given a choice: Endure on the surface without food or shelter or tools, or descend into a world-spanning nightmare dungeon that is also a reality TV show. Katia, an art professor from Iceland who has given up her humanity to transform into a shapeshifting doppelganger, meets up with Carl and his cat, Donut. Together, the three fight to survive in a dungeon filled with Clarketech goblin murderdozers and pyramid-scheme fairy moonshine-makers. The above is, of course, describing Dungeon Crawler Carl. With DoctorHepa's (the author) permission I'm posting some fanfic to expand on Katia, one of the secondary characters who started off not getting as much exploration as I would have preferred. I started off writing chapters that matched up to canon except from her POV instead of Carl's; that lasted a couple of chapters before going off the rails and spinning off into a completely new story, which suggests I should really go back and renumber all the chapters as soon as I find some tuits.

As the young king sets out to uncover the reasons for this, he stumbles across a menace that goes far beyond a simple trade agreement. - This is my first published story. I am not a native English speaker and this tale is also a means to improve my usage of the English language. All feedback (be it grammar, spelling, plotholes or wording etc.) is greatly appreciated.
