《My Life is a Series of Questionable Choices》Chapter 1 - My New Life
Advertisement
Chapter 1
A warm breeze blows against me. I slowly open my eyes and am greeted by the sunlight.
Where is this…?
I try to move my body, but it doesn’t respond. In a panic I look down, but all I see is grass.
What happened to my body?! And why is everything so huge?
It’s true. The trees and grass here are tall! I feel like a midget… or a gnome.
Suddenly a text box appears in front of me.
Welcome to your new life. Please be careful not to die again that would be troublesome.
Oh, right. I was reincarnated. And that last part wasn’t needed.
Even though I don’t remember much of my previous life, I do know that I was human… probably. So shouldn’t I stay a human?
Maybe in this world humans are small? No then they would be dwarves or something right?
To view your current status, please wonder ‘How am I doing today?’
HUH? The text box changed to something stupid.
Oh wait, status. That thing before said it was important right? Guess I better check it but… How am I doing today?

[One Who Seduces Women] [One Who Seduces Men] [One Who is Unfortunate] [One Who Went Out With a Bang]
So this is the status. I think I can more or less understand it? But there is a huge problem…
What the hell does it mean by Pebble as my species?!
You are a small, shiny and smooth pebble. Probably would go far if skipped across a lake or something.

Is this text box trying to start a fight with me?!
If I had hands I would-!
I am the advice from the Unique skill [Help from Beyond]. If you have questions I’ll answer them.
Really? I can’t help but doubt that but…
If that is the case, why am I reborn as a rock?
You’re a pebble though?
… Hey, stop nitpicking.
It is probably the price for getting [Help from Beyond] as your gift?
Why are you asking it like a question? Aren’t you supposed to know the answers to what I ask?
No, no I’m Advice. I’m not always right.
Hoh boy, what a complete letdown. This gift sucks. I want a refund.
… Well, whatever. What’s done is done.
I can understand things like strength and defense, but magic? So there is magic in this world, with wizards and witches? And I can use it?
Yes, any object that possess a soul and have a certain amount of Intelligence can use magic.
The excitement. If I had blood it would be boiling right about now!
You’re a pebble, don’t get your hopes up, it’s ridiculous.
Damn you Advice! Don’t throw cold water on my parade! I’ll cry you know!
So the reason for my Intelligence and Mind stats for being what they are is because I can think to a certain extent, I guess.
My titles are supposed to do something as well right? Like power me up and stuff? I wonder what they do…
[One Who Seduces Women] The owner of this title will find themselves irresistible to most women they come into contact with. It’s easier to get dates, threesomes, and lower repercussions from ‘One night stands’.
Well, that’s useless as a pebble. I’m guessing that the other one is the same but with men?

[One Who Seduces Men] The owner of this title will find themselves irresistible to most Men they come into contact with. It’s easier to get free drinks, sausages, and lower repercussions from ‘One night stands’.
…I want to throw up a little. But it’s okay, I’m a pebble.
[One Who is Unfortunate] The owner of this title will frequently encounter misfortune, however as each misfortune accumulates, the next time a fortunate thing happens it will be amplified by the number of misfortunes.
What is this?! What a terrible title! Was my previous life really so miserable?! I don’t think many bad things equal one super good thing.
[One Who Went Out With a Bang] The owner of this title will be guaranteed to always go out in style no matter the situation.
That’s not enough information! This one is dangerous, more so than the one before it! Go out in style? I’d rather stay bland, thank you very much.
I wish I could sigh right about now. A new life as a ro-pebble.
…A new life as a pebble. Is this what they call karma?

THE ENCOUNTER
One day in 2022, a mysterious Alien Entity arrives in Melbourne, Australia. What is their purpose of coming here? How will our world react to their arrival? The story follows the footsteps of Jack Geralt – a Royal Australian Regiment veteran who, along with his friends, is recalled into active duty in response to this event. P.S #1: Because this is my first time I write and post my novel here, I will wait for your reviews before posting more chapters. Whether you like it or not, I still hope you enjoy reading my novel. P.S #2: I am sure you noticed that the Cover Art is not mine. I simply chose from my collection of favorite Concept Arts. If whoever designed this art sees this, I thank you very much. Since I am doing everything myself and have to alternate between my work and writing, this is the best I could do. P.S#3: If there are any inconsistencies with what you know (for example, location’s names, recent world events and properties), please remember: This Story takes place in a fictional and alternate reality.

Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)

Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
