[Search] was invoked.
[Aly] - Level Zero.
[Species] - Lesser Being
Oh it did! Maybe this skill isn't as bad as it seems then, I should probably get it levelled up. Is it a her? Aly... that does seem quite feminine, let's go with it for now.
Poor thing, she doesn't even have a Level, is it even worth teaming up? She seems pretty useless.
He thought for a while, but then realised he'd be no better than those idiots earlier who attemped to kill him.
Eloxus waved once again and this time he got a reaction.
She waved back! What else could I do? Oh! [The System] ! There's a [Party] option I could use, maybe they'll be useful, I'll atleast keep them around.
[Party]
No one.
[Invite Player]
[Kick Player]
Eloxus imagined the word [Invite Player], and then this came up.
[Who?]
Again, Eloxus thought of the name [Aly].
[Party invite successful].
Eloxus looked back up at Aly, but it looked like she was reading something.
Please accept, I'm lonely. I don't know what to do in this world.
As both of them were walking along the red sand, they came across a worm like thing.
[Search] was invoked
[Sand Worm] - Level Three
It was a higher level than us both - but I think we can take it out. I charged, and Aly followed suit. I hit it then backed off, then Aly hit it, and again backed off. It was too slow to do any damage to us, if I was alone it may be tricky - but I'm not. I like this, I think I can do well in this world. I once again took the initiative and headbutted the Worm. Aly finished it off.
[Sand Worm has been defeated]
[20 Experience Points have been shared evenly among members of the Party]

[Eloxus] is now Level Three!
[Eloxus] has gained 5 Stat Points!
[Aly] is now Level One!
[Aly] has gained 5 Stat Points!
We did it! Even though we're basically slimes, with little limbs. It's strange, the texture of our body is essentially slime-like, and looking at Aly, we essentially look like blobs with little limbs. It's strange, and honestly I'm not keen on it. Finally, I can raise my Stat points too.
Eloxus opened up his [Character] sheet.
[Eluxo] Level Three
[Species] Lesser Being
[Class] None
[Instrument] No one is interested.
[Unspent Points] 5
[Agility] 3
[Endurance] 2
[Strength] 3
[Vitality] 2
[Wisdom] 5
[General Skills]
[Limitless Communication] Beginner - Level Zero
[Search] Beginner - Level One
[Species Skills] None
[Class Skills] None
Although I want to raise my Strength since I feel beyond weak, I think it might be smart to hold off. Vitality, what even is that? Does it mean how much HP I have like in Video Games? Most likely. Let's do 3 Wisdom and 1 Vitality and 1 Endurance. I feel like Wisdom may be in correlation to Magic - if that's even a thing.
[Eluxo] Level Three
[Species] Lesser Being
[Class] None
[Instrument] No one is interested.
[Unspent Points] 0
[Agility] 3
[Endurance] 3
[Strength] 3
[Vitality] 3
[Wisdom] 8

[Search] Beginner - Level Two
[Species Skills] None
[Class Skills] None
As I spent the points, I felt a small change in how I feel. As I looked down, it looks like I got a tad bigger, although it's barely noticable, I doubt Aly would even realise.
Still no Celestial interest. I'm going to assume it's because I've barely done anything in the time I've been here. It's fine though, I doubt Instruments are that good anyways, they're probably stupid so it doesn't matter. I looked across and saw Aly, staring at nothing. It's most likely just her reallocating her Stat Points. I guess I'll wait until she's done.

As Aly finished - she seemed motivated, she was moving much quicker, unless she allocated everything into the Agility - honestly I'm not sure, all I know is that I want to leave this stupid sand. However, it might be worth sticking around to deal with these enemies for a bit and try level up, sincethe [Sand Worms] are pretty easy to deal with, although we may have to take a few breathers every now and then. I don't really know how to communicate this to Aly, so I just fought every Sand Worm we saw. I also made sure to use [Search] on the Sand Worms before we killed them. Hopefully Aly is levelling up this skill, it seems pretty useful.

[Eloxus] is now Level Four!
[Aly] is now Level Two!
[Aly] is now Level Three!
We both slumped over after killing 5 [Sand Worms], however their levels only ranged from 3 - 4. I couldn't even be bothered to allocate my stat points, but I was aware of the fact that I levelled up again, and Aly levelled up twice it seems - which I'm pretty confused about, but It's most likely because she's a lower level than me.
I slowly opened my eyes. Darkness. I woke up at an odd time, but I guess it's fine since Aly was already awake, I wonder how long she's been up for. I hope she wasn't up for all night so I could 'sleep'.
It also seems that we can live without sleep for now, however when we exert too much energy we 'sleep' to recuperate our energy. It's weird not feeling tiredness, although I've awoke, I feel nothing. I kind of miss it.
bang
Both Aly and Eloxus perked up.
What was that? I looked at Aly with a worrying face. I'm intrigued, however if something goes wrong I feel like I'll be responsible for Aly's life, I don't need to be drowning in guilt at the start of this 'Game'. I guess at the end of the day, this is a Game. Me and Aly are essentially competitors.
I couldn't even gather my thoughts in time when Aly nudged me and pointed over there, and then ended up walking in that direction. I guess she's also intrigued? I'm not sure about this.
But I guess I'll follow her..
Ah shit I forgot to allocate my points.

Bright Feather
I'd like to say something like this is a unique story, blah-blah, but it's not. The story itself is your typical fantasy story with magic, fightings, plot armors, good friends, beautiful ladies and whatever there always is in such stories. I pretty much enjoy typical stories. So I've decided to write one myself. The only thing is the story isn't going to be centered about the Main Character. So let's leave all of the above to him, we'll meet him eventually anyway. This is the story of MC's counterpart. While our greatest Main Character conquers the world, cultivates, and whatever else, what does his destined other half do? Sit and stoically wait for him to come out of the closed door cultivation? Really now... Just thought it might be interesting to write such a story. Let's see if I manage. I'm new to this so, dear readers, please, don't be harsh on me. But if you have some words for me, so I can improve, don't keep them to yourselves, all help is deeply appreciated.And I officially promise to be very slow and inconsistent with releases (myriads reasons for this.) But I'll still do my best to finish the story someday. WARNINGS! (I thought a lot, and in the end, I'm putting it here. Better safe than sorry.) First of all, you can probably easily guess, but English is not my native language. And everything that comes with it. I don't think that it excuses me though, so I will improve with time, but warning you nevertheless. Second: No harem, no BL, no Romance And the last but not least: Beware of psychological pressure on characters and characters' deaths. Not much, in my opinion, but still, if you're overly sensitive to violence or mind games, better drop before starting. In any case, you've been warned. With all the above said, welcome, and enjoy.

The Great War: Saturn's Factory
The Great War has ended. But the bloodshed has only just begun. The largest conflict in all of human history has just ended, with Europe at the center of the carnage. For fifty long and hard years, billions of men died each month for no gain. Not even the slightest of centimeters had been gained for some nations. While others struggle to hold on to their hard-fought victories. In the midst of all of this is The Second Roman Empire. At the center of the Middle Eastern world, the empire finds itself struggling to keep Eastern neighbors at bay while old enemies stir up trouble from within. When documents pertaining to the identities of the many men working to undermine the empire show themselves in domestic waters. The Empire readies itself to slice off the many parasites draining the government of both wealth and unity. If only the documents didn't also happen to end up on The Dotted Isles. Dozens of man-made islands, some even hundreds of miles large. And currently one of the most unstable areas of the entire empire. As Roman agents rush to the document, Italian forces move in tandem to set up Insurgencies to wrestle control away from the Romans. And as all this goes down, the common citizen remains, either Vat-Born or Birthed. As it turns out, sometimes the greatest players of these conflicts happen to be the men and women who know least about them. The Image is not mine and comes from the Alternative History Channel Monsieur Z, I'll take it down the moment I can make an image of my own.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
