《Slade the Shade》Chapter 8: The trio and the loot.
Advertisement
A party of three was traveling in the wood, a flashy level 6 mage who was constantly fixing her hair, A level 7 warrior with a huge ax, and a level 5 assassin occasionally checking out for dangers. The party was progressing through the woods before they heard the constant sounds of something falling to the ground. They hid in the nearby bushes before looking out and spotting a young man in novice clothing adding another fallen boar to his collection with his terrifying scythe. They watched him lean against a nearby tree to rest as they spoke in hushed voices.
"What do you guys think?" asked the warrior
"That guy is hot I mean look at the way he smiles."The woman said with a blush.
"What is wrong with you, he only smiled while killing, and this is beside the point you dumb girl what else have you guys noticed." said the warrior with frustration.
"That weapon is a treasure look at the equipment he is wearing and the fact that he only recently leveled up to four. With the way, he one-shots the mobs I say the weapon is at least legendary grade." said the assassin,
"Oh, you right." said the mage.
"My thoughts exactly, and I want to take it away from him, imagine how rich we will be if we manage to sell it. This is the chance guys we can do this, but first, we need a plan to kill him before he can attack us and for that, we need you to use stealth and sneak behind him. We will distract him and when you get the chance kill him or buy us enough time to do that at least."
With the plan set up, they watched in awe as the guy decimated the rare boar, and with renewed determination they...

"Are you three still going to play hide-n-seek or must I personally invite you here." said while looking at them with a smile. With a signal to continue the plan the mage and warrior walked out openly while the assassin sneaked past the oblivious target.
Slade watched as the two stepped in front of him and say...
"Hey handsome, we do not mean any harm we were just passing by." said the mage flirtatiously
"Yeah and I'm just wondering where you got your scythe as it is quite unique and eye-catching." Probed the warrior.
"Oh this," Slade held out the weapon "I just found in the ground nearby."
"If that is the case we will offer you 50 silver for it, which is quite a lot in the early game, and since I'm generous I will even recommend you to my guild."The warrior offered as he looked at the weapon longingly with a look that says he is taking a loss.
"I will even give you my number." the mage added.
"You know guys," Slade started talking while pointing the scythe behind him"I did say the three of you."The assassin's figure gradually showed as the blade was pointed at his neck.
"How did you..." was all he said before he got decapitated and turn into pixels and disappeared.
While the two were flabbergasted Slade walked in from of and asked "Now that this farce is over are there any last words you guys have to say?" and just when they managed to open their mouths their heads went flying.
"Haha I love doing that, it's so satisfying, maybe I need some help."
With the annoyances dealt with he looted a few worthless items they dropped and luckily in this game you do not receive a red name from PKing. He also decided to check the loot received from the tusked boar.

The Beginning, The End, And Everything In Between
Emily was never very sane, the appropriate term would be 'intelligent psychopath', she just prefers mass murdering bitch. Emily beat a rabbits head in when she was 5, she spent her entire school life discreetly killing animals and humans alike, and went to university to get a psychology degree as a general 'fuck you' to the world. She graduated university and went off the grid for a year killing over 1000 people and labelled as one of the worlds most dangerous psychopaths. But all good things must come to an end, the police figured out her identity and Emily was reduced to waiting in alleys for unfortunate passerbys. But while in the middle of torturing some fuckhead who thought he was smart by trying to hit on her she was summoned by God, which isn't exactly the dream for Emily. He tells her that he will grant her 5 powers and send her to a new world to cause chaos, a world that Emily read about in books, a world that Emily could really ruin. Hi, this is my first novel because writing looks fun and I tend to be incredibly bored a lot. I don't know if I'm any good so please tell me what I'm doing wrong as a review Chapters will come out whenever I feel like a reponsible person PS: I am a very indescisive person so the synopsis will change a lot, have fun with that. PPS: I am terrible at writing synopsises. So I'm reading this a few years later and my god its shocking no one shot me in the head when I was younger. But uh, people have been DMing me asking if this story has stopped, which it has. (why was I allowed on the internet during my EdgeLord Phase, I don't know, but someone really should have stopped me) But thanks to all the people who read this, it really does mean a lot.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).

City of Roses

Now Jo must make a place for herself among Ysabel's decidedly unusual family and friends—which calls for a bit more sword-play than most of us are used to—in a city where sinister high-rise condos are fought by a sprawling tea-house built out of scrap lumber, where ancient sea-gods retire to close-in Southeast apartments with lovely views, where duels take place in supermarkets, and the Devil keeps a morgue in an abandoned big-box store.
