《Soul Status (HIATUS)》Chapter 5
Advertisement
Before I could celebrate my accomplishment and relish on it, the soldier grabbed me and we again teleported back.
When we arrived I felt a little dizzy and I felt like the world was spinning around, but shortly everything became even and I didn’t feel dizzy anymore.
When I regained my senses I discovered that we were in front of the soldier barracks and the soldier next to me calmly told me “You only have 1 hour left before the entrance exam ends, I suggest you go now before time runs out. I’ll handle all of the paperwork needed to be done.”
At his comment I felt startled that he knew about the entrance exam taking place, after all I’m pretty sure the only ones that know are only the examinees or the school staff.
“Unless all the soldiers were told about this? But for what reason, is it to check the examinee’s? There is way too many people for that, there wouldn’t be enough manpower. I don’t have time to think about this right now I might as well follow his advice.”
Before I could respond back, the soldier had already went back to the barracks and left me standing there in which I could only shift my feet awkwardly.
Staying here won’t help me at all so with a goal in mind I just ran toward the school, but when I arrived unlike earlier in which the auditorium was filled with people and were bustling about instead what greeted me was just a empty, silent auditorium.
The only one here was Dargon who was still standing in the same place when I left which was the podium.
I don’t think he has seen me though and I guess I have to give the ring to him so that he could qualify me to enter to the school.

I began to walk toward him, but when I did that all of a sudden Dargon looked at me which to say the least it spooked me and a little while after that I felt some type of pressure from him.
As he stared at me I for some reason began to feel queasy and everything around me began to sway back and forth, which in turn made me feel more queasier than before.
With this sensation all of a sudden hitting me I began having thoughts inside my head “I can’t handle this, I should just get out of this auditorium and find a place where they could cure what’s happening to me. Who cares about this school I should just accept the fact that a statless person can never beat someone with a status in any category. The only reason I got enough corpse worth was through sheer luck after all if one of my deductions was wrong then it wouldn’t have worked out at all. Plus if I hadn’t met that uncommon mushroom beast while walking to this town then I wouldn’t have enough worth to pass the exam. Yeah that’s right I only got through with luck I should just quit while Im ahead and walk out of this auditorium. I should just walk out and never come again ever no matter what.”
What I was thinking was right I should just walk out and never come again I can’t believe I planned to enter the school just because luck was on my side and anyways I’m not a talented individual I should just accept the fact that I’m always going to be at the bottom of the barrel and live my life that way.
I turned around with the purpose of walking outside and never coming back, but before I could take that step forward an intense headache came upon me in which made me hold my head and I couldn’t help but groan loudly.

Shortly after my headache initiated to fade away and then completely disappeared without a trace in which my first thought was “What the hell was I even thinking! Leaving and never coming back just because I got here due to sheer luck and don’t have a status? Accept that I’m at the bottom of the barrel and live my life that way? Like hell I will just leave and not enter the school because of these reasons! I don’t have the luxury to choose not going in to this school because my future is at stake here and until the end of time I won’t ever stop trying to see if there is any way for me a stateless person to live better in this world!”
I got infuriated with myself for even thinking of these thoughts which almost made me leave and ruin my last chance of getting in to the school so that I can get a job.
But those thoughts I was having before clearly aren’t natural and I’m pretty sure I was feeling a little bit sick a little before those thoughts came in.
“Mmm… why did I all of a sudden began to feel sick and have those thoughts? The only cause I can think of is Dargon had something to do with this, after all when he stared at me that is when these symptoms started to appear.”
Well now that I think I know the cause I might as well try to run towards him as fast as I can, I don’t have a choice in the matter.
Strengthening my resolve I ran headfirst toward Dargon and again he all of a sudden started to stare at me in which I again felt sick and bad thoughts were creeping in to my brain.
But this time I was prepared for those effects in which I just dealt with the sickness and repelled the bad thoughts away with my own real thoughts.
As I got closer and closer though I felt worse and worse in which instead of running I now resorted to shuffling my way there.
When I finally was in front of Dargon it only took me about a few minutes to reach here but to me it felt like hours has passed.
Honestly I felt that I was about to faint at any moment and these negative thoughts were now really getting to me so with my last spurt of strength left I took off the ring and with a hoarse voice I said “he...he...here”.
Dargon accepted it, looked at it, and then all of a sudden I felt alleviated in which I couldn’t help but to fall on my knees and gasp for air.
Dargon just side glanced me and said with a neutral voice “Congratulations, you passed.”.

A Fool's Journey, or the Vagrancies of a Man in Exotic Lands
What does a sad bastard do when fate, literally, decides to throw him into a fantasy world? Solon just wanted to lead a normal life; work, share some pizza with friends, work, play some videogames or read something, work, maybe sleep?, work... Pretty much the usual, rinse and repeat. It was far from perfect, but life was nicely boring and comfy enough. Truth be told, he had hoped it would go on forever, or until he got married, or until the apocalypse finally decided to bring an end to everything. As far as he could tell, though, the former was about as likely as the latter; not very. And perhaps even somewhat related, if it ever came to it. Unfortunately, he saw himself involved in some sort of cosmic fart that screwed him over, brutally severing his life-plan. Or, maybe, would it be more suitable to say that Fate had other plans? Sure, he's yet to find out exactly what those plans might be, but, at the very least, they do seem to involve him being shoved into another world, fighting off a couple of horrendous creepers, and -almost- an accidental liaison with a baboon. Needless to say, the job doesn't come with dental care, and death seems more likely than retirement... Yep, when he got yoinked out of Earth, there were no princesses waiting for him, no sexy goddesses, and no severe Gandalf-wannabes! Heck, not even a bunch of demonic cultists! All he got for the trouble was a bunch of snarky windows and the honest desire to punch whatever bastard happens to be behind the smug System. Well, that, and a few forced trips to the so-called Tower of Ascension. Not exactly what he would have expected but, on the plus side, he does get to do some magic. Though, not quite the wand-waving kind. Whatever. One thing’s patently clear, though, he’s certainly not the chosen one, nor the summoned hero, nor the Savior. If anything, he himself might be in need of some saving... Just what kind of fool does the System take him for? Please do consider the tags. Also, 'Strong Lead' here means weak to strong, over a decent amount of time, not op from the very beginning. Things to expect: decent grammar, cheeky goats. Things not to expect: Harems, a decent sense of fashion.

Parallels
Parallels are a constant in life. Our friends' lives often run parallel to ours; we share similar experiences or tastes- perhaps even both. Sometimes, however, opposites attract- and our lives run perpendicular. In that case, we are not attracted by similarities; rather, we are attracted to the differences in others. So, what happens when two parallels are broken apart? What might happen to them? Are they forever doomed to run alongside each other, never seeing one another, never meeting? Or, perhaps, might they be spun about? Could these lines that formerly ran alongside one another meet? Could they possibly be set perpendicular? Any feedback is welcome, so long as it is constructive. Also, you may not use any characters, ideas, places, or what have you that I present here without my explicit permission. A note: This is a story which I began over a year ago, but never got around to finishing- it feels about time to really get it going. Now, there are a couple of things about the story, and myself, that need to be said. First and foremost, there's a slow start, but by the third-fourth chapter things should be speeding up a bit. Secondly, in regards to release speed and/or word count per chapter, I make no promises- my schedule is fairly random, and in regards to word count, I will cut off any chapter at any point that feels appropriate to me- that may include cliffhangers, if necessary. I'm not trying to reach a specific word count, I am trying to create a cohesive story, with pseudo-appropriate chapter breaks. This means I will also not rush a half-baked release for the sake of getting a release out. Thirdly, I will make any edits, anywhere in the story and at any time, that strike me as necessary- typically being wording and/or formatting changes, but I may also decide to change major plot points- in that case I would put a notification in the next chapter released. Finally, and most importantly, I am a Christian; this story is intended to at least moderately reflect those values. So, if you particularly dislike any of these things, feel free to look elsewhere, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. God bless, friends.
