《Movie Central》The End of the Beginning: Pop-Corn & Movies
Advertisement
"As you wish for Exploding Corn to better enjoy your movie it shall be so!" thundered Bob, and with a click of his fingers summoned 5 cobs of corn with bomb timers strapped to them and flicked them towards Xavier.
"THANKYOU," replied Xavier, "I always try to get these back home, but they just give me some buttery snack and call the cops when I explain what I want. It's a real pain to getting my hands on some of these so I haven't had any in ages, so thanks Bob. But I can't carry these around in public, I did that once and had to spend a whole week throwing off the cops, good thing I found that turban and robe so the cops wouldn't bomb check me, I mean they tried but I just made up words and called them racist 'til they left. They never caught the Corny Terror but the name sends me into laughter anytime I see it."
"BOB LIKES YOUR STORY. BOB WILL PROVIDE BACKPACK FOR STORAGE! BOB RECOMMENDS CAPTAIN AWESOMESAUCE FOR VIEWING IN CINEMA 1345762891-A! THERE IS 5 MINUTES UNTIL STARTING TIME SO BOB WISHES YOU LUCK!" and with that, Bob clicked his fingers to create a rather stylish black leather knapsack which sucked all of the Exploding Corn into itself before swinging itself onto Xavier's back just in time before Xavier was sucked into a previously non-existent wormhole or portal taking him to places unknown.
The last words of Xavier before he vanished into the portal were, "See ya Bob," quickly followed by, "Hey, I never got my socks!!!" before the portal pulled him in and closed, only to quickly re-open to receive a pair of jade-green socks with Cheshire smiles all over them from Bob, who, along with the portal disappeared in another flash of bright light.

"I'd better rush, I only have roughly 3.72534 minutes left until my movie starts," were the first words out of Xavier's mouth upon exiting the portal into a comfy seat inside of what was known as Cinema 1345762891-A.
"Alright," recited Xavier to himself as usual, "I've already 'popped' one of the corns, I don't have a phone to mute and there are no ratings so I am set to watch this movie! Shame that I've got no-one to watch it with though."
SCBLAMMO!
"Bob?" questioned Xavier, "No this is different, I think?"
"Hey, Xavier!" yelled Sci-fi Trooper-1, "Long time, no see! You seem well!"
"Oh, it's YOU, Luca! That's a relief, for a moment there I thought you were part of the government here to capture me for experimentation!" exclaimed a semi-relieved Xavier, "But what's with the new get-up, you never seemed the type to join the army sci-fi or otherwise?"
"Well it wasn't really my choice see, this Uncle-Sam lookalike 'conscripted' me and these army dudes were waiting for me when I got here. They 'recruited' me at gunpoint and then led me on a wild-goose chase looking for you. They even got me in this S.P.A.R.M.A. which can be voice-controlled by any superior officer in this army and tracks my location in or outside of movies to prevent my no doubt debonair and devious escape, the only part that even really comes off is this helmet, while the rest folds into this watch-type thing when you want to show off your army swag or for when you have vacation time, but it's apparently indestructible and doesn't come off." replied a dispirited but enlivened Luca.
"Man, that must suck, I really feel for you. So, what's the escape plan Luca?" replied Xavier.

"There is no escape plan this time Xavier, I've got to 'recruit' you too, this is apparently the fate of all conscriptees and they've got a lock on your general location right now. They're coming Xavier, and I can't help you this time. Sorry man, the game's up." followed on the bummed-out Luca.
"You may not be able to help me but I can help you Luca, banking on one condition," replied Xavier looking thoughtful.
"And what's that?" questioned Luca.
"Simple," answered Xavier, "The condition is that you weren't being metaphorical when you were talking about going into these movies, that and that you're willing to be my partner in crime once more. Are you in?"
"Of course," answered a Luca a smile creeping on to his face, "Have I ever been one to shy away for adventure? Well? Hmm?"
"Excellent, I knew I could count on you buddy, now throw that helmet into the screen and dive in right on after," yelled Xavier, not willing to waste more time when adventure called.
"Right after you buddy," replied Luca.
"Say it together now," said Xavier as they ran towards the screen.
As they entered they followed his sage advice.
"GERONIMO!!!!"

The Perks of Immortality
This story will no longer be updated. After living decades and dying hundreds of times, Kegan has learned that he has finally passed some test that the cruel spirit had given him. Now, Kegan has the ability to gain “perks” that can make his life much easier. He is looking forward to finally having an easy life with the new perks he has earned. Rules to keep me honest for the perk system: Spoiler: Spoiler 1. The purpose of perks is to help the MC live longer and do new things each life. 2. The perks can be unlocked by getting hurt or killed. 3. The perks can be unlocked by putting in a lot of effort that isn’t easily duplicated in a new life. 4. Perks are generally beneficial enhancements to the MC’s body. 5. Perk costs can be lowered with more impressive achievements to unlock them. 6. Perk costs can be lowered by repeated death or injury from something the perk protects against. 7. Perk costs are increased for quality of life improvements that don’t benefit survival. I want to avoid one of the pitfalls I see for other LitRPG stories where the game elements barely relate to the story, or offer very little information. If people are skipping over and not reading the perks then I'm doing things wrong. So I promise to try and make the perks interesting, sometimes humorous, informative, and relevant to the story.Cover art by http://dertypaws.com/

The Third Spire
It has been decades since the Wizardly Order rose and helped the Realm to banish the monstruos Elfey from its lands by building the Five Spires. The kingdom has prospered greatly in the time since, advancing both in the magical arts and the more mundane technology. The Wizards have grown too, gaining influence and spreading throught the Realm, Wizards' Towers dotting the landscape on many regions. But as the Realm grows and starts looking beyond its borders, the Wizards are faced with one insidious enemy inside its own borders. Master Garner, a wizard in the scarcely populated far West of the Realm, feels the situation getting out of hand, and a violent purge forces him out of his beloved Tower. The wizard takes his apprentices and allies in search of uncertain safety in the Third Spire. Some sources of inspiration for this story, for variable reasons: Riyria Chronicles, The Wandering Inn, Gentleman Bastard series. Note: First dedicated attempt at writing. I'm looking for feedback, and I will appreciate if you point out any mistakes. Updates: Tuesday, and every other Thursday, as life allows it.
