Chapter 12
“The preparations have been completed, Saintess.”
“Good work. You may step aside.”
The Saintess holds me in her hands and steps towards the circle.
[Bad Omen] has activated.
Oh shit…
“God of Time. God of Space. God of Life and God of Death. Grant this one the power to beseech our savior.”
Blue Energy has been sucked out of all the people in the room and gathered in the center of the circle.
“ The One, of chosen birth. Bringer of Light. Champion of Justice. I call unto you, with divine voice.”
I once again get the feeling of my magic being sucked out of me.
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 100…
Dang it, this is the most magic I have lost in a while. I’m feeling weaker as more magic is drained.
“Answer my call, come forth from the Void. Aid us in our hour of crisis. In the name of the Gods, I command, [Summon Hero]!”
A torrent of magic rips around us like a raging tornado. Some of the people have already fallen over.
…They didn’t die right?
“Saintess!”
“I-I’m fine… This much… is nothing…”
Even if you say that, you look terrible.
I’ve done some estimating and I have some bad news to share.
Ugh…Let’s hear it.
At the current rate, the summoning will end successfully. However, all participants will die.
…And? How does that affect me?
After their death from Mp exhaustion, you will be the only one supplying magic to the ritual. I predict that your body may not be able to handle the burden.
I’m in yet, another pinch.
Three things can happen.
First is continue on and shatter due to over burdening your body.
That’s a miss.
Second is to stop supplying magic to the ritual. This will save you, however the backlash from failing the summoning will cause a magic explosion. Being crushed is highly probable.

Okay that’s strike two.
Third is praying to God that some Deus Ex Machina type event will save your sorry ass.
I’m out!!!
Are these really the only options?!
Mp decreased by 100…
Mp decreased by 200…
Mp decreased by 300…
“Gggh… I… must… hold…on…”
The Mp rate is decreasing faster!
*Crack*
…Was that…
You’re beginning to crack.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the Hell am I supposed to do in this situation?!
Do your damn job Advice and HELP ME!
Weeelll… There is another option.
Does it involve death as the end result?
No, you will most likely live.
Then just DO IT!
You can’t complain afterwards alright? Promise me okay?
*Crack*
I promise! Now hurry!
Beginning search for viable targets…
Searching…
Target found. Synchronizing magic wavelengths…
Complete… Initializing skill [Symbiosis].
My vision goes dark.
I have the feeling of being spun around, like I’m trapped in a whirlpool.
I’ve never been good with rides that spun. I can feel the contents of my stomach trying to escape out of my mouth.
“B-Bleeeegh…”
That feels much better…
“Hero! Welcome, we have been eagerly awaiting your arrival.”
“Koko wa doko?”
“Ah, that’s right. You can’t understand me. You there! Bring forth the [Ring of Language]!”
“Ano on’naknoko… Kanojo wa hakimashita ka?”
“Here, put this on.”
“Eh? Ring? What is this for?”
“Good I can understand you perfectly. I once again welcome you to our world, brave Hero.”
“Me? A Hero?”
“Indeed. Saintess, please welcome the Hero.”
The two people look over here.
Are they looking at me? No, that can't be right. They are probably looking at the Saintess.
I look around, but I don’t see her anywhere.
Come to think of it… My field of view suddenly got higher…
You’re sharing a body after all.
…Eh?

8 186Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.3
They say third times the charm. With every iteration we improve. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.

8 155The WereLionesses Mate
She was running out of breath, but that didn't matter, all that mattered was getting away from him and proving him wrong. Branches scraped her face and her arms, her body burning hot; but cold from her sweat as the wind blew over her skin. Her pants soaked from running through the streams, her shirt ripped to shreds around her stomach from very low hanging branches. Her hair, a tumbling fiery mess of tangles, and waves slipping through the ponytail she had quickly fastened trying to tame her wild hair. Running and crawling on the ground through the forest floor, trying to get back to the camp grounds so Whhooossshhhh! All of a sudden a giant gust of wind flew past her nearly lifting her off the ground and throwing her into a tree. Where in the world did that wind come from? She thought, but she kept running like it had never happened. She jumped over a fallen log, ignoring the fact that she almost fell in the process. She zoomed past all the trees and sprinted over the roots coming out of the ground. She rounded another tree coming to a sudden halt at seeing him standing there with a drink in his hand laughing and joking. She stood there wondering how in the world he could have beaten her here; He looked at her then, He looked, well, handsome, his faced was clean shaven and his button up shirt was all unbuttoned minus the three at the bottom. She could still visibly see his bronze chest and the top of his ripped-hard abs. He walked over to her and smiled, showing all of his teeth, the smile reaching his eyes. His eyes were dark and stormy, their color was usually a nice honey brown but now his eyes looked mid-night black. They looked like they could kill a man at eighty paces, but could sweep a woman off her feet at the same time.
