《Rigor and Mortis》Chapter 6

I returned to Barum's house, I knocked while I was not sure how it would come out I had grasped the heart of my answer.
As he opened the door I decided to start off as honest as I can "I know what I want to do with my new life. I have fostered a life long love of adventure, the source is a story by a man named Tolkien. I was inspired by words about 'feeling the love of beautiful things' and the desire 'to wear a sword instead of a walking stick.' Since then, I have been chasing swords to switch with walking sticks."
He seemed somewhat enthused by my answer.
"You were impacted by story while young. The same could be said for knights raised on tales of chivalry and daring." Barum summarized in a way he might more naturally understand.
"Sounds about right, magic was not a real force in my home world, magic tricks and slight of hand are synonyms. So I indulged in stories while living my life, but I wanted to fell... Enchanted by the world, there is a degree of power fantasy in there too, its not all power though."
"The sword part of your guiding star. Why do you think that is?" He prods me to think deeper.
"Well, in games I played chasing the power fantasy... Well I played a few characters, hmm no. I guess I can start by saying I never cheated. There was a solo game and someone I knew cheated that for their own enjoyment."
"A sense of fairness or respect to the experience?" He attempts to conclude the thought.
"Yeah, if there was no chance I could fail, that doesn't make it a game. Its win or lose, not win or win less." I was not in love with the idea that I would be held hostage by bad die rolls, but I don't like the idea its assumed I win.

"Would you say these statements reflect your personality and beliefs?"
"No, I've been lying about the life I lead before I died, desecrating everything dear to me." I remark sarcastically.
"Alright, turnabout is fair play. But I am the one you want help from so try again." With a grin they flip negotiate a proper response.
"Well, you fundamentally can't sum up what a person is. A full person's values and sense of identity is a complex personal negotiation of values versus contradictions. But if we are to have anything close this century, I believe what I said, until the world deems fit to correct me."
"At least you conclude yourself like a Mage, you'll do. We have work to do."

8 119Extermination Order
So it turns out that anime got something right: If you get hit by a truck, you're going to another world. Dennis became subject to that unknown quirk of reality when crossing a busy city street (despite having looked both ways). But that was quite some years ago. He's been around this new world 'Nassur' a time or two and knows how to live a good life. He also knows that adventuring friggin sucks. So, what is a man to do in a fantasy world with a shoddy leveling system that constantly suggests getting more XP, and a condition set by the gods that you must make the world a better place? Pest extermination. But reality is often fickle. Perhaps one day it is only rats, another, mechanical centipedes with lasers. Maybe the Dark Lord needs a shoulder to cry on because his dungeon simply can't be ready in time for the adventurers he likes to do battle against. Another poor soul from Earth could appear just as dazed and confused as the day you'd first arrived, requiring a good long talk about 'hey, what the hell is this, man'. And maybe... just maybe, that thick book of owed favors comes back to haunt you. For a man who desires a peaceful, productive life, Dennis can find it rather difficult for a week to go by where something doesn't go awry. This series originally started on r/HFY, [Link] but I decided to post it here since people are so positive about it! Posting rate is, and likely will continue to be, rather inconsistent.

8 176Unlimited Evolution [New]
“If anything can go wrong, it’ll go wrong”—Alex found the truth of this quote the hard way when his Thursday evening was ruined by a blinding golden light. Thrown to war against his wishes, in a world that was not his own, he didn’t even survive the first day. But, death was not his sweet retreat. It was just the beginning. Reborn as an Imp in the hellscape of a dungeon, Alex’s life just got more complicated. In a place where you are food to other monsters and a lump of EXP to humans… survival was nothing but luxury. But Alex will survive. He will squeeze every last bit of potential from his [System] and work his way up the ladder of the food chain until he is strong enough to step out of his prison. The first step to such a lofty goal is to conquer the menace of goblins. Unlimited Evolution narrates the struggles of a young man from earth who gets the short end of the stick even in a different world. After a betrayal that resulted in his death, he wakes as a monster in a dungeon where even his fellow monsters saw him as nothing but food. The story will be a little slow-paced in the beginning and the battles will be calculated, brutal, and short. The litRPG element will be there and the system plays an important role in world-building. I'll try to explore each and every character I introduce as much as I can. Hopefully, I do a good job in that aspect. **I hope you enjoy this book of mine.**

8 78THE NIGHTMARE | l.s.
Продолжение не очень краткого руководства по жизни в особняках с привидениями и серьёзным отношениям с медиумами-историками. Эта книга научит вас не спускаться в тёмные подвалы, не верить учителям, не шутить о том, о чём шутить не положено, и ни в коем случае не читать личные переписки Гарри Стайлса и Лу Томлинсон. Данная повесть - сиквел фанфика "HALLUCINATIONS"!ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЯ: Найл и Лиам - бойфренды (так ничего и не изменилось), то есть присутствуют элементы слэша; Луи Томлинсон - в образе всё той же несносной девчонки; фигурирует насилие над животными; повествование ведётся и от первого, и от третьего лица одновременно; нецензурная лексика.*Nightmare - кошмар, дурной сон.

Oliver muttered as he glared at me suspiciously and condescendingly.He was waiting for me to run away.Grinning widely to piss him off, I shrugged."If you're a psychopath, then I must be a lunatic. Because I like you. And because of that, I'm not leaving."He'd watched me stand my ground because we'd surely been through way too much for me to give up now. A small smile spread through his emotionless facade and in a second, he was back to who I really saw him for.He let out a laugh, "Do you have a death wish?"S L O WU P D A T E SC O V E R B Y @ZiaDavis
