《Sekai》Chapter 8: Setting the stage
Advertisement
Hartea: . . .Are you serious right now?
Hartea crossed his arms, looking at the home he was assigned to go to as it turns out -- nobody seems to be home or answering him. Maybe it was something that happened in the past that makes them not want to open the door for Hartea, maybe they're just not here -- who knows? He would lift one foot in the air, doing a 90 degree turn as he began to walk away, he was now within the Modern Blockade, a small city like area that was full of advanced technology, despite it being called a "Modern Blockade", this was its name because this should be and might possibly be the modern lifestyle for all human beings. Hartea would walk through the crowd of people, making contact with no one and not looking back at the people he passes by, as he simply is trying to slip by. He would stop at a small cafe like area, as he smiled and rolled inside! He would see a line of people, and it wasn't long before he was next up in line, as he froze for a moment
Cashier(Female) Hi, welcome to bucks of the stars! We're trying to get copyrighted, how may I help you?
Hartea: Can I get uhhh. . two number niiiiness, a number nine largeee, a number six with extra diiiiiiipp, a number sevennnn, two number forty fivesss, one with cheese, and a large soda. And a cookie!
Cashier(Female): . . .Sir, we don't sell any of that.
Hartea: What? Not even the cookie???
Cashier(Female): We have cookies!
Hartea: I'll take it!
Cashier(Female): Okay. . . that'll be. . .$1.10!
Hartea: . . .
Hartea would silently walk away from the Cashier, leaving her utterly speechless. He would walk out feeling unaccomplished, as he looked around the city streets plunged with lots and lots of people, many people seem to be walking away from the area -- he would look at a big bulletin board and see it turn on -- as a man with red hair and evil eyes would be the only thing on the screen, as he laughed. This was Karma, and Harashi could be seen behind him with his head about to be sliced off his neck, Hartea's eyes widened at the sight of it, his heart began pounding and he had to rub his eyes a couple of times because he couldn't believe what he was seeing!

Karma: Everyone, we're having an event today. One challenger must show up to the stadium in the Battle Blockade to save our hostage from decapitation, be sure to get here in two hours, or your brother's head will be rolling off his neck!
And just like that, the Modern Blockade was empty, and Hartea stood there -- amazed. How could people leave so quickly?
Hartea: . . .Did. . .everyone. . .-
???: Go to the Battle Blockade so quickly? Yes, it's only a small walk in the park away.
Hartea would turn to the feminine voice that finished his statement, the woman has pale white skin and icy blue eyes. Her hair is a dark-gray color of medium length that is pent-up slightly in the back by her white bow that has blue stripes on the ends. In her shinobi clothes, she wears a solid white furisode kimono that hangs off her shoulders and exposes her cleavage. The outfit has a blue double-lined trim with a blue obi on the back. Hartea kept his hands gripped as he gulped, and began walking away
Hartea: Sorry. . .I. . .I have to go save my brother.
???: Your brother? The one who will be decapitated soon? Hm. . .Sorry Hartea, but I'm not letting you get to that stadium.
Hartea: What!? Oh, whatever, you can't stop me!
Hartea would begin running when the woman would remove a fan from behind her and raise it upwards -- creating a gigantic wind storm that blasted Hartea off his feet and heads first into the ground. He would stand up, glaring the woman down as he wiped a little bruise away from on his face, clenching his fist.
Hartea: Well. . .I guess this is the way things are going to have to go do down.
Yumi: I, am Yumi -- and I have been instructed by Karma to defeat you.

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week. Cover by: Faren Discord: https://discord.gg/eDuZaEAAqG This story is published and available on Royalroad, Webnovel, ScribbleHub, Wattpad, and extra chapters on Patreon!

Mobius
Far in the future, humans have thoroughly colonized space through the use of floating colonies and artificially replicating the Earth whenever possible. Most of these endeavors have gone well, with humanity spreading across the universe like the seeds of plants floating in the wind. Yet still there lurks the great mistake, the endless station of Mobius, a megastructure which hasn't ceased its building in over a century. Dante, a man living in this megastructure, is tasked with the recording of stories told by criminals, particularly those who travel between strata. One day, a prisoner is captured claiming to be Captain Pluto, an infamous criminal thought to be fictitious by most scholars. Even more curious, he claims to hail all the way from Stratum 56, a location so far away from Dante's Stratum 999 that it would take lifetimes to traverse such a distance. Dante must discern whether or not the story is false or true, and the longer he lets Captain Pluto speak, the more difficult his task becomes. *****Average chapter length will be 10k words give or take. This isn't a very serious story for me. I'm writing this to blow off steam. Updates will happen infrequently because of this, and it will most likely be unpolished unless I begin to take it more seriously.
