《Tales of The Taken》The first purchase
Advertisement
Jesper felt a weird twist inside of his stomach as he entered the shop and saw a double door about six feet wide and with a tall billboard on top that said "point tally 100,000 (starting amount of points, please use within first seven days or you will lose these points)" after reading this multiple times jesper felt depressed because to him, there was a billion other humans who got launched into this mayhem and he only got 100,000 points, he recalled that he was placed number 1 based off potential, so his point tally was the lowest.
After a quick mumble cursing this place, jesper walked forwards to open the doors, and apon his touch the door opened automatically and in front of him was a reception desk with a human woman sitting there with a computer, with large glasses, and in-animate as she stared, unmoving at Jesper. Jesper quickly gathered courage as he stepped forwards up to the receptionist, and then she came to life!
She said "welcome to the shop! this place is your species leg up to the other competitors, after one week, a door will appear to your right where you can buy, sell, or trade items with other humans!" Then she froze and stared towards the door once more.
Jesper sat there and thought out loud "is that all?", pondering about the other humans that are here. when his voice sounded aloud she came back to life and stated "please spend your starter points, and since you are our first customer you get 50 percent off one item of your liking in our catalog." then she froze, lifelessly staring towards the door. Jesper confused said, "where is the catalog" and almost instantly, a huge book appeared before him, With the same binding as the one he awoke with. Only exception was, this book was titled plainly as "catalog".

When opened to the first page, there was a section labeled as "recommended" and beneath had an explanation "based off experiences, potential and estimated likes" and the first item on that list was a pill called "elemental wings (genetic mutation) and a quick description stating "forced gene mutation that allows the host to grow and retract a pair of wings that gains an element based off hosts efficacy towards the element along with the element type, notice only one of these may be bought." but the downfall, the price was 200,000 without the store discount and Jesper only had 100,000.
This was something of Jespers dreams. Moments before he was taken he was in Peru, researching avaians. he was on a bird watcher tour, looking at exotic birds and enjoying their beauty and pondering how it would feel to be free of the economic struggles of the world. But while dreaming he came back to reality, staring at the price before he clicked "buy" and he watched his point sum hit rock bottom at zero and a magical pill appear in front of him, then another pill landed down before him.
looking at the two floating pills he touched one, when he came into contact it was like a voice was whispering in his ear because he knew everything about this item and then he heard a voice sound, "purchase finalized". Curious he touches the second and when the parameter appear in his mind, he gets another voice, "elemental awakening pill received", when hearing this the pills disappear and Jesper's mind leaves the shop and in front of him are two white pills, which Jesper fervently swallows...
Jesper awakens as he groans and looks around confused, apparently he had blacked out, then he stands as he hears a "ding, hosts gene mutation is complete along with your elemental awakening, please check status tab". With this Jesper opens his tab

NOTE: I, as an 'author' am on a(n) (indefinite?) Hiatus. Without getting into too many details, the person who convinced me to write, who was my muse and my everything, is no longer in my life. I think about writing and I get physically ill and ache in ways that transcend the physical. I want to want to write, but I cannot find the energy. Life events, combined with apparently thin-skin when it comes to personal attacks on this platform, make it impossible for me. The messages, comments, and reviews I recieve(d) were so detrimental to my mental health that I've already removed one story from this website. This one remains up only because the criticisms located in this work are about my writing, and not personal attacks.I just felt like I should put something out there for anyone who is thinking about starting this story. It is not completed. I don't know that it ever will be at this point. I have lost my muse.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Not everything in this world is natural, and it's only natural to fear the unnatural. Fortunately for Manning, he was natural.

The modern world was met with a tumultuous surprise when strange portals opened, leading to other worlds, and from them came monsters who had nothing but the foulest of intentions. On that day, humanity received their greatest tool in combating this threat: the Slayer System. Those who accepted the System's power were called Slayers, and they had created a new, prosperous peace. Decades after, Alexander Shen lives in Ordo, the Slayer Capital of the world, months away from graduating at his university. Although uncertain about his future, he wishes for nothing but a normal life for himself and his younger sister. However, as another disaster strikes, finding himself in the throes of catastrophe (once again), he realizes that the stars have other plans for him. Having his normal life snatched away from him, he is determined to fight, even if it means shooting down the stars.
