Advertisement
W...ke.. U….. B...y
Wake up boy!!!! (???)
Huuhhhh! This ancient looking man is looming over me.
W-Who a-are you? (?Me?)
You don’t need to know. The better question is who are you? (???)
Ah… I’m not to sure myself. (?Me?)
Hmm… It seems someone has used a spell on you to erase your memories. (???)
WHAT?!? Who would do such a thing?!? (?Me?)
Don’t worry… You’ll be able to regain them. (???)
REALLY?!? (?Me?)
Calm Down! Not yet… I can use a spell to help you but it also depends on you to be strong enough (???)
Ohh… Okay. (?Me?)
Anyways, you must be pretty hungry right? (???)
*growls*
Hahhaha… Yeah (?Me?)
Here have some bread to eat… It might be a bit tasteless… but it’s better than nothing. (???)
Thanks mister! (?Me?)
*Eats bread*
Mister?? (?Me?)
Yes?? (???)
Why are the people here so mean?? (?Me?)
Well… You’re in a country where the rich thrive and flourish while the poor are ignored or even despised. (???)
But don’t worry, I’m giving you this so you’ll become stronger. Then you’ll be able to protect yourself and survive in this cruel world. (???)
* Hands over a book and a ring*
What is this for? (?Me?)
Well this book here is able to teach you an ancient cultivating technique that’s been lost for centuries, and this ring is able to store items for you. It has a near infinite amount of space within it. (???)
Thank you very much!! But… Why are you so nice to me??? (?Me?)
Uhmm… I think it’s that look in your eyes… I can tell that you’ll be someone great in the future… just like my son. (???)
What happened to your son. (?Me?)
He always sought to become stronger and eventually he became the emperor of the world… But he later locked himself away from the world… I don’t know why he did this though… (???)
Ohh… I’m sorry… But what was his name?? (?Me?)
Well…. His name is… Adyn... (???)
Why does this name sound familiar to me??? Well whatever… I’ll keep this name in mind but for now I guess it’s not that important.
NUN… AUT… DOR… IER… FALL ASLEEP! (???)
Wait what are yo-u……….

Yama Rising
The youthful Qin Ye was born almost a century ago, but thanks to immortality granted to him by the 'fungus of aeons' he can pass for a high schooler. He planned to live an eternal, reclusive life as a happy otaku, enjoying World of Warcraft and his favorite MOBA games, but Fate had other plans in store. Hell has broken down, and vengeful revenants stalk the mortal realms. With ghosts running amok throughout all of Cathay, Qin Ye must reluctantly adopt the mantle of 'hero' and bring peace to both the living and the dead, while rebuilding Hell. But this, of course, isn't something a mere Netherworld Operative can do. For that, he'll need to become more.King Yama is dead. Long live King Yama!
8 741Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
