Chapter 2
The days pass quite peacefully. I’m actually so at peace that I would be giving a Buddhist monk a run for his money.
The sun rises over me from what I assume to be east and sets to what I assume to be the west.
My new life is uneventful.
And the boredom is making me insane!!!
Please, something happen!
Skills allow one to perform actions that would normally be impossible.
What does that have to do with me?
Maybe you can learn a skill that will help keep you entertained.
Hmm well it’s not like I have anything better to do. Okay, how does one learn a skill?
Some skills are learned by repeating an action so many times, it becomes ingrained in your body and manifests as a skill. The other way to learn skills is by investing skill points obtained by leveling up.
Hey, that was actually pretty helpful. How do I level up?
By defeating monsters, learning new things, or practicing a skill.
I see… I wonder how close I am to the next level?
You have 70 experience and are 70% to the next level.
Close! But I haven’t done anything? No wait, I’ve been learning a bunch of stuff from Advice. That must have contributed. Well then, let’s finish off this level, shall we?
Hey Advice, teach me about something I don’t know.
Like what?
Like, uh… what kind of tree is that over there?
That one? A maple tree I guess?
Oh? Never new that. Now how close am I to leveling up?
You have 71 experience and are 71% to the next level.
…
1%?!
Learning things is a terrible way to level up!
The experience gained is proportional to how much you learn about something.
Guh! Fine then let’s work on a skill then. Any idea what would be a good one?

How about [Detect Presence]? This skill is pretty good.
Alright, how do I get it?
Close your eyes and try to sense the creatures around you.
Sounds simple enough.
I can’t close my eyes, but instead cut off my vision of the world. It’s now complete black.
To get this skill I have to sense other creatures. I listen carefully to my surroundings.
I hear the rustle of the leaves.
The whisper of the breeze.
…
And not a single sound by an animal.
Now that I think about it, I haven’t even heard birds chirping or the sound of insects.
Isn’t that weird? Somehow… I don’t like this…
Skill acquired! [Bad Omen] has been added to the skill list!
Even though I hear the sounds of an upbeat fanfare, there is nothing good about what I got. Even though I’d really like to ignore this skill, Advice, what does it do?
[Bad Omen] this skill is passive and will warn the user of an impending unfortunate event, by way of annoying nagging doubts.
…Well at least it’s better than I thought?
The impending unfortunate event can happen between a range of tomorrow, up to a year.
Nope. I take it back, this skill is shit.

Fork This Life!
Now we've all heard stories about people who died and were born again with their memories intact. The form of the reincarnator changes from story to story: human, elf, orc, slime, vampire, goblin; you name it, someone wrote it. But what if you were reborn in the most common of houshold objects? What would happen if someone reincarnated as a fork? Involves: merciless fork jokes, monsters, magic n' all that stuff, some profanity, maybe some gore (i'll keep it light), fork philosophy, and if you got advice on where to go next with the novel, comment, coz I only got a hazy outline. Read my other novel here: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/13058/odyssey-of-the-unrivalled

The Chalice Quartet
Four strangers are drawn together by a spell from a deitic chalice. One is a wizard, gifted but lonely and in need of adventure and companionship. Another a half-elven sorceress who is desperately searching for her siblings. The third is a giant, cast out from his home and needing guidance in the country he has landed in. And the last, an assassin whose advantages are being stripped from him one at a time. Despite their initial reluctance, the four soon come to realize that they need each other in order to survive, for the chalice holds secrets that need to be discovered and obeyed. *Chapters are published Mondays and Thursdays at midnight on my website, www.forestgreenwriting.com, and here in a more mercurial fashion, though you will always get at least two chapters per week.*

Creativity Can Fix Things
Meet Alex.Alex is like anyone, really, he just didn't know.He is an artist, a musician, tried to paint, every one of his friends knows him for his drawings. Meet truck.Truck is like every other truck, and everyone knows what a good truck does. It sends people to a new fantasy world.That or the author is just imagining this whole story and creating things out of his butt. Point being, trucks send people to alternate dimensions. The caveat is that Alex is creative, didn't fit into society like everyone else, but, as he would say, he is 'defective'.When he finally figured it out and was ready to fix his shit he had the most gruesome encounter with Mr. Truck. And now we are here, enjoy it. --- Looking for an editor!!! I'm writing this in an attempt to put a comedic feeling into something many people go trough: finding their place, fitting into society, adjusting to responsibilities and facing their problems. It's not really "WOW, HE MADE SOMETHING NEW!", but is more like "Heh, look at dumb ass doing shit... Oh... Hey, I do that too!" So feel free to read at your own risk. Don't know if it will be sporadic, regular or what. For now, it's a creative spur that needed a valve to release and. Here. We. Are.

The Kingdom of One (Hiatus)
My name was ordinary. My face was ordinary. My body was ordinary. My live up till now was nothing but ordinary. My everyday routine was nothing but ordinary. I lived a truly ordinary life. My job was ordinary. My ambitions and goal for the future were also ordinary. My skills and knowledge were ordinary. I was nothing but ordinary. But one day I did something out of ordinary which changed my life. I died and was brought to another world. This world was nothing like the fantasy worlds I had always read about. It was truly a harsh world. And in this world I've promised myself to do everything but ordinary. I shall do the extraordinary, I shall resolve me heart and dare to do the impossible. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Author's note: Writing a story is like giving birth to a child. Even though it was your work that brought the child to this world but you will never know the end of that child. Even if you're the one who teaches him, molds him and make his personality but that child will still learn some things on his own. That child will still form his own personality and thoughts. Similarly, I might right this story but eventually the story will move on its own and I would merely write it down. The rules that would be created of this world I shall create will be of its own which myself as a write, I cannot change. I hope you stay with us till the end of this journey.
