《End of My Boring Life》The Silver Haired Girl
Advertisement
"The floating light is.. is... speaking!" It was a very refined, and soft voice that could be heard from the light. The voice felt as though it is sinking deep into my heart, and also for some reason the voice felt familiar. "Boy it is the time of your awakening," said the light. "Awakening of what!?" said Zed with a surprised face. "Boy come with me to the fifth world; you will have your answers to all your questions there," said the floating light.
"What is this!? I am being sucked into this floating light!" said Zed. Inside the light, space was shaped like a tunnel covered in many different colors. It was almost a never-ending colorful tunnel, Zed was fascinated by this also scared as he was still falling down this colorful tunnel.
"What is that? Is that water? No! Its a river!" said Zed to himself as he fell down in that river.
The river was the end of the tunnel, that lead him to the fifth world. Zed not knowing how to swim continues to drown in that river. Just before Zed falls unconscious he sees a silver-haired girl reaching out her hand to Zed. Zed holds her hand and then loses consciousness.
"Aw, my head hurts. It's a small house. Where am I?" said Zed. "Oh you are awake," said a silver-haired girl. The girl was about the same age as Zed. Her shining hair that reached up to her back, and her beautiful white skin, and beautiful body that left Zed speechless. "She is easily prettier than Myu!" Zed thought to himself.
"Um, excuse me miss where am I," said Zed. "You are in my house, while I was collecting apples; I suddenly saw you falling from the sky to the river," said the silver-haired girl. "You saved my life, didn't you? Now I'm indebted to you. Thank You for saving my life!" said Zed. "No, no! I am happy to be able to save a person's life!" said the silver-haired girl.

"Oh! Excuse my manners, I'm Zed." "I'm Xia" said the silver haired girl."It's nice to meet you miss Xia. Do you live here by yourself?" said Zed. "No, I live here with my mother. My mother is a Cobbler," said Xia. "What about your father," said Zed. "My father passed away two years ago," said Xia. "Sorry, I didn't know... It must have been hard...." said Zed. "My mother has been working hard as a cobbler; enough to provide for the both of us, so we are fine. I told my mother I want to work too, but she said no," said Xia. "I see, It's about time I leave," said Zed.
"Feel free to stay longer you still haven't recovered," said Xia. "No, I am perfectly fine," said Zed. "But your mana hasn't recovered yet," said Xia. "Wait what?! Mana!? What are you talking about!?" said Zed. "Extensive use of mana can lead to death, so please rest longer. I did my best to treat you with my healing magic after I brought you here from the river," said Xia. "Magic!? Mana!? Healing magic!? what are you exactly talking about!?" said Zed. "It seems like sir Zed you haven't still mentally recovered, it must have been quite a shock to fall into a river from the sky. Please rest longer," said Xia. "No! No! I am mentally perfectly fine! Are you mentally fine?" said Zed. "How rude!" said Xia.
Zed walks out of Xia's house, and sees that it's Xia's house is surrounded by few trees. It looks like a small village. Just a little farther down from Xia's house, Zed could see something that looks like a church, and he also saw something that looks like floating water near kids playing in front of the Church. "Miss Xia is that a church down there?" said Zed. "Yes," said Xia. Zed walks down to the Church.

"pew, pew..." kids playing. Zed saw the kids controlling the floating water, and shooting at each other. Zed opens his mouth in shock. "Am I dreaming Zed asks himself," Zed asks himself? Next moment a kid accidentally shoots the water right at Zeds mouth. Zed starts coughing. Zed says to himself "I guess I am not dreaming! Just where the fuck am I?!"

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.

Criminals from around the world are summoned by "God" to climb to the top of the Tower of Opportunity, in which they can do whatever they please and gain powers and abilities beyond their wildest dreams, the only caveat being that their lifespan has been reduced to 3 months and every floor conquered gives each conqueror another two week extension to their lifespan.
