《Real Life Can Be Interesting Too》A Real Life Random Encounter : Part 2
Advertisement
Feeling that rumbling and sinking feeling in my stomach, panicking a little bit, and then reminding yourself to stay calm and make a rational decision. This is the process that leads to growth. And, that growth can be seen immediately when the bad feeling in your stomach subsides and you realize that you made it through.
Doing something that I was uncomfortable with helped me learn and improve, and this is what needs to be done to develop the intimidation resistance that is so badly needed.
I've ended up with the unfulfilling life that I have today because my entire life I've neglected to think properly and make decisions after careful thought.
*Level Up : Know Thyself -> lv.3*
*Level Up : Conviction -> lv.3*
A voice suddenly interrupts my thoughts, "Hun are you all set?"
"O...Oh sorry about that." I reply.
I was so absorbed in thought that I've spent an hour here without realizing it. After quickly paying the bill, I leave and head over to the next place that hopefully will let me level up my intimidation resistance skill.
As I walk to my destination, the figure of the higher-up at work that bullies me comes into view. I can see her through the storefront glass drinking a glass of whiskey on the rocks. She isn't wearing the usual business casual attire, and in place of it, a t-shirt and jeans. Several empty glasses surround her as she takes sips while looking towards the ground.
Why is she drinking so much by herself?
She turns her head to the left to look out the window and I find myself looking her in the eye. Apparently, I've stood here a bit too long while thinking.
Usually if you encounter a boss so early in a game, you should run away. I've made the bad decision of casting appraisal instead of running, and now im face to face with the first boss while hopelessly underleveled and with only a thin pane of glass separating us.

The Samsara Dirge: Adventures in Post-Apocalyptic Broadcasting
It was not the apocalypse anyone expected. They called it the Changes. (Which might sound boring, though it was no such thing!) During this time, reality itself was suspended. Anything could happen, and often did. Who could have anticipated flying turtles, lighter than air futons, the appearance of the color slurkle, or the eradication of differential calculus? After a year and a half of such wonders, it all stopped. The world was not the same, nor the people in it. Why had it happened and how did it end? Would it return? No one knew. Silverio Moreno, irrepressibly optimistic host of one of the most popular post-apocalyptic gameshows, wants answers. And the truth might just bring in his highest ratings yet!

The Warden
Jake was a simple man. All he wanted was to live out the rest of his life on his family farm, a modest life, but one you could take pride in. Then Jake came into the kind of money family dynasties are founded on. Vacationing at his newly bought lake, Jake sits on his porch alone and watches as the world is ripped apart by some god-like being. This god-like being then decides that all descendants of the Gho Clan, still capable of cultivation, will be placed into a trial to test if they are worthy to return to the heavenly realm. Guess what, that inclueds Jake. Now, trapped alone in a cage made from a valley uprooted from Earth, Jake must learn to survive as everything is flooded with some energy he'd never seen nor imagined before; let's call it Qi. As everything changes, and the lines between fact and fiction blur, Jake will learn that his land, and by extension him, are far more important than anyone realizes. And the bastard who destroyed Earth? Well, he'll get what's coming, one way or another.
