Advertisement
Guild Master Nolad: Adventurers! I am happy to inform you about the upcoming holiday! To congratulate you and give you an incentive, the Guild announces an Event! By completing it, you will receive special rewards. In addition, those who have the grace of Ringras will be able to get legendary items. I hope this holiday will bring you great victories!
In addition to the Event, look at the Titus Tavern. Festive dishes are waiting for you there. In the Workshop of a blacksmith, you can find ammunition that is only available now. In addition, a traveling merchant from the country of Ligarchu arrived in the city. You can buy products created by spirits from him.
Moreover, wanderers don't forget to visit the Temple of the Ringras Shrine. The goddess will give you a blessing that will give you special characteristics.
I almost forgot! A mysterious location appeared in the southeast of the city - the Forest of Fallen Spirits.
Happy All Saints' Day, adventurers! May this holiday bring you glory!
***
A little more than a month has passed since the announcement of the destinations of the children of the city of Atrak. Life in the city of adventurers was boiling. Every day heroes and new travelers arrived in Atrak. To maintain life in the city, all residents worked hard. And it was justified. After all, the holiday is coming soon - All Saints' Day!
The streets of the city decorated with pumpkins with sinister faces. The rooms filled with candles with special incense. Treats for saints appeared on the shelves, and special tasks appeared in the Guild. The event for the holiday will last only a week, so adventurers are making every effort to get items from a special collection.
The Feast of All Saints has been held in the city for many years as a tribute to the heroes of the past. But for some residents, this holiday should be special. The children who have received their destiny from Ringras will begin performing their duties for the first time on All Saints' Day. One of these children was Uuna, the daughter of someone and Alme.

Performing duties for each child was one of the most exciting events. Everyone dreamed of getting a destination that would benefit the heroes, but the goddess Ringras had her own plans. Uuna received its destiny in accordance with this plan. In the future, she was supposed to be in charge of the location of one of the events, but now she was just a girl from a flower shop. When other children received such a destiny as a healer, a restoration magician, a servant in a Shrine, Uuna received the destiny of a flower girl. She understood that her mission did not matter much, but Alme told her that it was just as important. For Uuna, hearing such words from a restoration mage sounded the same as ridicule. In addition, in these difficult times for the child, Alme asked her husband for help, but he just kept silent.
***
Kyo: You seem worried.
Alme: It's all about Uuna.
Alme looked around at the adventurers and guild workers. Her gaze was full of sadness. She was thinking how to explain to her daughter that her destiny is no worse than that of others.
Kyo: After Uuna received her destiny, do you have doubts?
Alme: I'm afraid it's my fault.…
Kyo: In what? How can you be to blame? The goddess Ringras chooses the path of our children herself. You couldn't influence the Goddess.
Alme sighed heavily. She felt guilty about her child. The weight of her thoughts seemed to be pressing on her shoulders.
Alme: The Archmage Syne said that the Goddess selects the destination by evaluating what we are interested in or what we crave. I instilled in you a love for flowers. Because of this…
System alert! The Omicron21 player destroyed civilians in the square. We ask the Restoration Magicians to come to the square to help the residents.

System alert! Omicron21 player destroyed the NPC Trader Hack.
System alert! Free Restoration Mages will be moved to the square to assist and collect restoration stones.

Omicron21 player: Damn developers! I spent a lot of money to buy Grace Ringras! Still in second position!
In the dim room, the only light source was the monitor screen. The man sitting at the computer was furiously hitting the buttons. The noise of the music speakers barely drowned out the screams of the player. There was no limit to his rage. He spent all the money to get the first place in the Event, but some idiot beat him.
Omicron21 player: How could this even happen?! Do they even know how much money I spent?! Fucking NPCs, die!!!!!!!
***
The town square was lit by the light of candles, barely trembling from the pokes with sinister smiles. Even the moon and stars weren't shining today. The normally bustling and peaceful city of Atrak has witnessed the killing of civilians today. The hero, who came to protect, today directed his forces to destruction.
Around the rampaging knight, gleaming blue, lay the stones of restoration. The knight waved his sword, dealing damage to an ordinary person. This man wasn't defending himself. He couldn't. After all, there was no such protocol in his program.
Omicron21 player: How many of you wouldn't kill, it won't calm me down. And what are you kids?! Everyone is just characters. NPCs! You're just part of the code! When I log back into the game you will be here again! But my money is not!
This terrible picture for the residents unfolded in public. The heroes were just passing by. Alme, transferred to the square, could not understand why the heroes she admired so much did not do anything. Why does the one who is supposed to protect kill? She did not have time to understand what was happening as her eyes saw what she was most afraid of. Her heart skipped a beat. A raised sword flashed above the knight. All sounds died away. Time seemed to have stopped. The sword came down. Blue particles of light suddenly swirled above the ground. The noise broke the sound of the fallen restoration stone. Alme fell to her knees. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
System notification. Omicron21 player destroyed Uuna’s NPC.

Until death? (Old Version)
This is the dated Version. Please search for the rewrite. Ever been a god? Well I was! Until I died.... and got judged by the other gods! Apparently they didn't like the whole idea that my Faith is the only true one! Oh and for the record: The Apocalypse wasn't intentional, ok? Though, I admit that ultimatively, I caused it. Seems like I got sent onto a vacation as punishment! Or so I hope? ——————————————————————————————— Reading Order of the Multiverse-Books ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Medley of Fates Worse than Death
Rick wakes up in a world unknown to him. He doesn't know what exactly happened or why he is there, he just feels he's not from that world as if he had Dissociative amnesia. Soon after waking up, he gets attacked not once, not twice but three times in a single day. Our hero can know how strong enemies are thanks to a special ability of his, but the thing is... What good does it do to know just how weak you are compared to a deadly creature chasing you? This is a LitRPG Fantasy Adventure in which battles are won (or lost) with strategy and wits as our protagonists aren't necessarily the strongest... So if you enjoy more strategic battles I think you will love this story!About the chapters: I will post mostly 1,300 or so word chapters, I love weekly manga and feel like that pacing is similar to the one in a weekly serial chapter, hopefully, you enjoy these chunk-sized chapters :) I only do this for fun in my free time so I think I will probably post a chapter a week, but if my patreon ever gets busy I might put more time into my hobby xD If you feel like checking out some of the newest chapters, I have them over on my Patreon (Currently 5 chapters in advance): www.patreon.com/rija Extra info (Might get spoilery): As the story progresses I intend to add more strategy, politics and economics into the story, but it will still be mostly a LitRpg action-adventure. (Also if you had read my synopsis previously I changed it a bit because the elements I mentioned before in the synopsis won't come into play until much later into the story, and that's why I changed it.)

Demon Lord- Earth's No:1 FAN!
This is an exploration. I throw out random ideas to see where the story goes! Inspiration for the 1st chapter is:- What would happen if a Demon Lord is put in a Slimes body and acquired memories from earth?
