《I Died and Got Summoned to Another World as a WHAT?!?!》Ep. 4 The Pit Part 1

Down in the Pit
I wake up after who knows how long, feeling better physically but now I am feeling hungry and very thirsty. If it wasn't for the pain I would think it was all a bad dream and I was still in the hospital. Thinking back on what happened maybe it would be better if this had been just a bad dream.
Wishing isn't going to change anything though, I need to focus on surviving. A source of food and water are going to be top priority I guess. But first I want to take a better look at this...Status!

I only have thirty-five hit points, I didn't heal much from sleeping. Is it because I'm hungry and thirsty? Even so this rate of healing is just too slow, it will take days to fully heal.
Okay so, we have strength, agility, and endurance for physical stats, and intelligence, wisdom, and charisma for mental stats. It really is just like an rpg game! Oh yeah let's take a look here....Race!

Okay so that's why I can see, but if I'm eligible for advanced classes why do I have no class? Select class? Choose class? Class? Why does nothing work?! Okay I guess I can't have a class for some reason. Let's see what those quests were....Quests!

'Oh so that was a goblin I landed on, nice of it to give me credit for that. Okay I guess accept all!'
As I am sitting there, after accepting the quests, trying to decide my first move I notice some tracks in the dust. Leaning over for a closer look I recognized them as large rat tracks, the odd thing is the tracks go right into the wall. As I lean down for a closer look I go to put my hand on the wall for balance but when my hand passes right through the wall I overbalance and end up falling on my face again.

"Ooof! What's this? An illusionary wall?"
As I pick myself up off the floor and step through the wall I am momentarily blinded because the room is as bright as day inside. While waiting for my eyes to adjust I am happy to hear the sound of water trickling somewhere inside the room. As soon as I can see again I look around and see a twenty by twenty room, there is water trickling from a crack in the wall in one corner and flowing to a crack in the floor.
I immediately rush over to the corner to lick the water off the wall. Once I satisfy the worst of my thirst I take a good look around the room, the first thing I notice is I can see through the wall from this side meaning I will be able to see any goblins who come into the passage. The next thing I notice is the light is coming from a stone suspended from the ceiling in the middle of the room.
Other than that all that is in the room is some old decayed wooden furniture leaving me confused as to why this room is here and why it is hidden by an illusionary wall. The first thing I do is move all the broken furniture to the far corner of the room so the floor space is nice and clear. Then I proceed to go through some stretches and basic exercises to try and get used to this new body.
Getting used to my new body is definitely weird for me but it is something I know I need to do. In my previous life I had been lazy and out of shape, so seeing what this body can do really surprises me. I am actually having fun so I decide to work out a bit more seriously and see what my physical limits are. I am able to do a hundred push ups before I start to feel my muscles protesting.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the passive skill Fitness!
Fitness
Level 1
Str +1 End +1
Hmm I wonder why it is so easy to acquire skills. Could it be because of my race? Well, at least if I keep getting stat points from all these skills then it should be possible for me to become fairly strong even without being able to gain levels.
After I finish my workout I go over to drink some more water, as I am licking the water off the wall I hear a squeaking sound and looking around I see a rat on the other side of the doorway. Knowing it couldn't have seen me yet I rush over to the wall beside the door and try to be as still and as quiet as possible.

*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the active skill Stealth!
Stealth
Level 1
MP Cost 20
You can hide in the shadows and move quietly.
Ignoring the skill message I focus on the doorway and pounce on the rat as soon as it sticks it's head inside.
*Squueek!*
"Yes! Got you! Wow, it's as big as a house cat!"
I feel guilty killing it since I had a pet rat in my previous life but survival comes first. I carry the rat into the room and lay it on its back and use a claw to slowly start removing the rat's pelt.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the craft skill Skinning!
Skinning
Level 1
Agi +1
You can skin small to medium animals.
I carefully skin and gut the rat. Then I try to make a small fire using the broken furniture, it takes me a long time to get the fire started. Once the fire is going I try roasting the meat over the flames.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the craft skill Cooking!
Cooking
Level 1
Int +1
You can cook basic food items.
I am too hungry to be patient and end up eating the rat meat while it is only half cooked. It isn't very tasty but it is food and I have no intention of starving. Okay so food and water are taken care of for the time being, this hidden room is going to be my base of operations while I explore so I guess I should try to make some improvements.
To start I'm not thrilled with having to lick the wall to get water, I need some kind of bowl or jug to catch the water in. I get up and start looking around trying to think of what I can use, when my eyes pass over the collapsed area in the passage. I notice one of the bricks sticking out, I look at the corner where the water comes in and decide to try making a basin to catch the water. So I go out to the pile and start using my claws to dig through the dirt looking for the bricks from the original wall.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the craft skill Mining!
Mining
Level 1
Str +1
You can attempt to mine normal ore.
I don't really think digging through some loose dirt counts as mining! But it's not like I'm complaining, I need every advantage and skill point I can get! I continue digging through the dirt looking for bricks but I dig a little too far in one direction and set off a small collapse bringing more dirt falling through the broken wall.
After things settle down I notice something odd in the new dirt, picking it up I find it is a lump of clay. I immediately start sifting through the dirt looking for more. Once I have a decent number of bricks and a nice pile of clay I carry everything into the room. I then start building a wall around the corner using the bricks and mud in place of mortar.
*DING*
Congratulations! You have acquired the craft skill Masonry!
Masonry
Level 1
Str +1 End +1
Able to build simple structures using brick or stone.
'Oh strength and endurance from this one? Nice!'
Once I finish building the wall I line the inside of the new wall, the floor inside, and the old wall up to the level of the new wall with clay. Making a square clay basin to catch the water.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Masonry has progressed to level 2!
Masonry
Level 2
Str +2 End +2
Able to build simple structures using brick or stone.
Well that helps, and once this fills I will have a better way of drinking water which is important. With that done I go back out to the collapse and start expanding the opening so I can get through easier since I am going to be going out to explore fairly often.
*DING*
Congratulations! Skill Mining has progressed to level 2!
Mining
Level 2
Str +2 End +1
You can attempt to mine normal ore.

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

... And My Skillet
A long time ago, a child was born under the great blue sky. Many a Dwarf grumbled at the auspicious event, tugging furtively at their beards at this ill omen. A year later as the expedition had begun digging into the virgin hills of their new home, the grumbling of the doughty mountain people rose to a disbelieving furor when the yearling passed over the ritual offerings that would determine his lot in life. Instead, the as of yet unnamed child crawled over to a skillet fresh out of the fire and begun picking at the rock bread, unconcerned with the heat. Shouts turned into laughter, frowns lifted into craggy smiles. Upon placing a handful of the bread into his mouth, the infant’s face grew so grim and stony not even the eldest of the present Dwarves could match him. There was a durable ore within this babe, of that the Lore Keeper was sure. Yumly Ironhand was thus named, the beginning of his great tale immortalized on the rune walls of his clan’s history. “It’s pronounced Yoom Lee and no, rock bread isn’t a misnomer.”

Rekindle
My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
