《Slade the Shade》Chapter 1: Sunrays and the annoyed goddess.
Advertisement
When the first rays of sunlight pass-through space, time, the Earth, and its atmosphere, through concrete and steel, and gently reflect off a sleeping man with a satisfied smile. Only to be cursed.
"F*ck!...I hate the sun. Just as I was getting to the good part. "The young man cursed.
Slade woke up staring hatefully at the windows without any curtains allowing the sun to invade his safe haven. As the young man stood up you can see he was about 6 feet tall, above-average looks medium-long brown, bed hair and dark brown eyes. Skin as pale as you can get from avoiding direct sunlight like the plaque. It was not the light that was the main problem for Slade it was the heat. 'The damn heat where you can actually feel the radioactive rays' Slade cursed eternally again.
'I hope this game works out 'Slade thought as he looked around his empty apartment. The room was just as empty as when his ex left him, he thought with a slight smile.
All this happened because of the worldwide announcement of the first fully immersive VRMMRPG "limits".It showcased grand fantasies you partake in with the standard RPG structure with swords, loot, and castles. Just exponentially refined to make it feel and look alive. Slade recently dropped out of university as he felt that it was not for him. After a long time of just playing games, watching streamers, reading power fantasy novels, he was getting bored. He immediately took an interest in this hype, but almost had a heart attack as he checked the prices. He had to sell all his assets and a few misc. items to preorder the gold pod version that boasted about increased immersion. It took about two weeks for them to replace the position where his bed was with the pod. All for the promise of adventure and riches both in and out of the game.

After bathing, doing his morning exercising, watching a few videos, the server was about to start. Nervously entering the single bed size pod with the comfortable interior he pressed start and lost consciousness.
"Hi host, I'm the pod's AI that's responsible for your virtual needs, please help fill out your personal details to access the hub. Note that we will, by under no circumstance share or expose this information."A sweet feminine voice sounded in my ears.
"Go ahead," answered Slade.
"What is your full name?" asked the AI
"Slade Conner," said Slade.
"age and occupation?"
"22 and professional procrastinator," said Slade proudly.
"...Thank you for your patience , please note before you begin your body will be checked for any abnormalities and you may feel slightly uncomfortable."
After what felt like an uncomfortable long time I arrived at the so-called hub where I can mentally select several options like body condition, time, an internet browser, Friends, and what he actually came for ...
LIMITS.
When the game started you get a 4D cinematic in the form of a POV of a bird flying through forests, plains, rivers, towns, cities, and a kingdom of epic proportions.Is what would have been showing if not Slade has not skipped almost immediately. Instead, he had an amused look as he stared ahead at an otherworldly beauty with a soft aval face, warmth-filled amber eyes, blinding golden hair, and most importantly, huge, holy cream-colored wings. Well, proportionate and about 5'6" tall.
"Why did you skip the introduction to this world traveler?" the holy being asked inquisitively.
"Greetings to you... my holiness? And why would I watch that when I want to see this world through my own eyes as that would be the best experience." said Slade matter of factly while he lied through his teeth as he got bored after 30 seconds where half that time he was looking for how to skip.

"Just call me Elaina I am the goddess of this world and am responsible for accepting the travelers, my child, and I am impressed with your attitude?" Asked the so-called goddess.
"Please do not call me your child, it's creepy I'm not into that kind of stuff. And yes but keep it brief," answered Slade as he shivered at the thought. as he appreciated her cute behavior ,she became displeased with his joke.
"..." the goddess was speechless at the insolence of the young man in front of her but still continued, "As you please let's start this already, to begin with, how would you like change your appearance and bear in mind there must be a maximum of ten percent difference between you and your avatar."
"Can I change my race?" he asked expectantly.
"No all travelers must find their own opportunities throughout the world and beware quests to change classes are beyond rare," she said.
"That sounds tedious," Slade said while he sighs. After that, he checks out what he can change and a whole catalog appears which he finds too much work to go through so he just filters to hair and eye color which he changes to black and violet respectfully.
"I am done, just a few changes because I'm content with my looks, so what is next?" he asked.
"Lastly you must select a class between the 6 options as they both restrict and reinforce your build," she said.

A class list was set in front of him for the six classic options the first one is a warrior which specializes in melee battles with swords, spears, axes, and so on which he liked a lot but won't suit as the weapons will be too straightforward for him to enjoy. The mage branches out into different types like fire mage, water mage, and so on. but they are also not for him either. The assassin might be the best bet as he likes to be sneaky but not all the time though. The rest of the classes he won't even think about.
"Are there any better classes?" he asks as he saw the goddess getting bored.
"Out in the world yes but you still have to choose one of the basic classes," she said plainly.
"What if I call you mommy?" he said while looking reluctant as the goddess's eye twitches,
"Boy be serious or I will let you go without a class," she says while being annoyed. Slade's eyes seem to glow while she says that.
"Is that really an option or must I call you mommy again?" Slade says while the goddess looks pissed even though she looks cute when angry instead of intimidating.

Beneath No Sky: Chronicles of the Atmospheric Sector
After bringing themselves back from the brink of annihilation, humanity's future seemed bleak. However, it's remnants, throwing aside the old order and donning a new mantle of progress aimed to rise above their ancient disputes and go forward as one. Once the Earth reached it's natural limit, and colonies around Terra and Luna had shown promising results, humanity finally decided to make the move to the stars. Believing this to be the start of a new age, they eagerly poured across the solar system and further beyond, greeting what space had to offer with hope and optimism. It was misplaced, however, for humanity's traditional quarrels soon resurfaced and engulfed a now interplanetary empire of many races.As the Earth Empire burned and an intense depression overtook the once optimistic people, some held out hope. They theorized that their problems were born of an inherent sense of home and, in order to rid humanity, now comprising of the Terrans as well as all the other known species of the galaxy, of this burden, decided to move far away from civilized space, into uncharted depths, to start anew. Some 200 years have passed since then, and those hopeful ones have finally found a place to settle on. Firmly planting their flag in paradise, they called this untouched land "Eden" and declared the beginning of a true new age, the age of After Eden.Trouble, however, seemed to still be hounding them, as barely three years after its founding, Eden finds itself at war with a seemingly uncommunicative and uncompromising enemy that far outclasses the odd pirates they were used to facing. A new era of peace, marked by an immediate conflict. Time will tell if Eden, the Grand Experiment, truly is as great as it's supposed to be. ---------------------------------------- This is a sci-fi, character driven, military space drama. Multiple POV protagonists and lots of unnecessary detail. Somewhat psychological. My first work on this website.

Vendor of Spirits
A warlock once made a pact with the Powers Above. He snuck in a clause that resurrected him whenever he died, with all his memories intact. He lived for thousands of years in a hundred different bodies, changing the world into a dystopian regime where he could freely pursue his passions: alcohol, television and ducks. This made the Powers Above very angry, so they erased his memories and reincarnated him as a simple barmaid in a sleepy village where she could do no harm. I don’t know any of this, of course. I just find it very annoying that she’s chosen me to tag along with.
