《Grand Defender》Chapter 3
Advertisement
That meal was nasty. 10/10 would not eat burnt snakes again. What was even worse was the [Food Poisoning] that came with it, but I at least got a Perk out of it.
After eating burnt stuff and enduring [Food Poisoning] I was starting to get very thirsty.
Thankfully, I had seen a river when I was on top of the boulder, a river that looked pristine enough to drink out of.
My new Perk would probably help if I was incorrect.
I walked up to the small stream and drank several mouthfuls of water before stopping, having seen the reflection of a very special tree through the calm and silklike water.
A mango tree!
And even better, all of the mangoes were mature! It’s not like I don't like green mangoes, it’s just that I prefer ones that actually taste like something.
I grabbed the tree’s fruit from a low hanging branch and bit into it, its taste being several times better than what I thought possible.
As I got my face covered with the yellow fruit, I noticed some fish swimming in the calm river.
Catching them with my bare hands would prove quite difficult, as such, I engineered a plan.
Gathering the stones needed for my plan was easy thanks to [Geologist], I used a flat stone as a table, and chipped a smaller, but also flat, stone with a tougher one.
The process took a while but was easy thanks to [Mason].
I now had a [Stone Spear Head].
Congratulations! You have earned 1 level in both [Geologist] and [Mason].
All Stats+10
All I needed to do now was to find a strong and straight stick, which was also easy due to the abundance of trees nearby.
After finding the stick, I made a small rectangular cut at the end of it, in which the [Stone Spear Head] would go in. I made a roundish hole through both the [Stone Spear Head] and the stick when connecting them, putting a smaller stick in the hole, finishing the [Stone Spear] by securing the smaller stick to the bigger one with some makeshift rope I made using soft roots.

Congratulations! You have crafted a [Stone Spear]
A makeshift weapon and tool created by [Sanjo]
Tier I
+10 Attack
Can be used as a wand for [Geomancy]
Not only is it a spear but also a wand?! How great!
And so, I held my weapon vertically in front of me, concentrating on its stone tip.
The uneven edges of the [Stone Spear] started to even out somewhat, and got slightly sharper.
Congratulations! You have earned 1 level in [Geomancer].
All Stats+5
Finally! A level in [Geomancer]!
It would take some practice to get used to it, but it will pay off in the end.
I sat on the river’s edge with my [Stone Spear] in hands, my legs crossed to prevent me from stabbing myself in the foot.
A fish who hadn’t noticed me slowly approached my location, attempting to eat something that was stuck between some rocks.
I quickly stabbed the fish, turning the clear water into a turbulent red mess as it squirmed.
I placed the now dead fish in the ground, and repeated the process another five times.
Conditions met! New Classes available!
[Spearman] Combat Class
Tier I
Allows proficiency with [Spear] type weapons.
[Fisherman] Utility Class
Tier I
Allows proficiency when fishing.
“[Spearman]!”
I was obviously going to pick [Spearman], but wasn’t so sure about [Fisherman].
[Fisherman] didn’t seem like a Class I’d use much, and I wanted to have a free Class Slot just in case.
Congratulations! You have chosen the [Spearman] Class.
[Fisherman] has been discarded
All Stats+5
Discarded? I expected the class to remain in Available Classes.
Well, I can't really do much about that.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Piper
"It was one thing to find a harbor in a storm, and a complete other to expect that harbor to be safe." Piper Hayes has made it through three years of college at the University of Rhode Island basically unscathed - until the day her best friend, Molly, disappears from a job meant for Piper. Distraught, Piper lets herself fall into the company of a basically-unknown acquaintance, the impressive and charming Bash Rivera. Turns out, Molly's situation is the least of Piper's worries, and Bash doesn't quite manage to keep up his suave and sophisticated facade when events turn difficult. Mostly because, while he is trying to save her life, she spends all of her time afraid of him. Once Piper realizes her real enemy, she might find herself alone in her fight. If she manages to survive, just maybe she can graduate on time; more importantly, maybe she won't have driven away the one person who cares about her the way she cares about everyone else. IF YOU LIKE PIPER, READ THE OTHER FINISHED BOOKS IN THE EPIPHANIES SERIES: MARISSA AND AYLEE. OR COME READ THE COUNTERSIGN SERIES: NIGHTENGALE, [email protected], AND ALTAR EGO. PLEASE REVIEW - I VALUE YOUR INPUT!

Our Shattered Realms
*This is a learning experience for me so please keep in mind that I am attempting to work on some of the issues brought to my attention early on. However I haven't yet gone back to redo the early chapters.* Less than two days ago every piece of electronics in the world stopped working for more than two hours. The death toll was immense. Hospital equipment failed, cars stopped in the middle of the street, planes fell from the sky, and homework was lost at the worst possible moment. We found out that it was just the flicker and hum of The System warming up. Now we see the true cost of our new world. A Dark comedy that focuses on a few of the many people who aren't stuck in a high level dungeon when our world is translated and joined to Our Shattered Realms. This is my first story that I have published. I welcome any criticism that you have for me. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!
