The Rule of 3
In the world RJ is sent to, three is a recurring number that will show up constantly. When Adventurers gain a class, it will be a choice of three, when RJ's monsters evolve he'll have a choice of three. I can't go to into detail because of spoilers, but there will be a lot of three options.
For these options i will do a poll, and let the readers vote on which one we should choose. I'm going to try to avoid letting that cause me to do shorter chapters, but i'm new to this writing thing so forgive me please.
Adventurer ranks
Has not come up yet, but as i think it's unlikely for adventurers to be talking about it in a dungeon, and i don't really want to do an exposition chapter from an adventurers point of view, i'll explain it here.
Adventurers are broken down into ranks F,D,C,B,A, S, SS, SSS, etc.
F rank adventurer - an applicant, they are put through rigurous physical training, taught basic survival skills and given what gear they are able to use in the hopes they'll survive long enough to gain a class.
D rank adventurer - one who has gained their class, they're given training by the most similar class available, and access to the adventurer's guilds stores, bunkhouse, and bank.
C rank adventurer - one who as evolved one of their class skills. They are usually set as leaders of D rank teams as a safety measure.
B rank adventurer - one who as evolved All of their class skills. B ranks are often grouped together to face large threats to mankind.
A rank adventurer - one who has evolved their class. A rank adventurers are rare, most classes have esoteric and difficult requirements to meet to evolve. A rank adventurers tend to run guilds, stand as the last line of defense for cities and act as a deterrent to wars.

S rank adventurer - one who has evolved one of their evolved classes skils. Each S indicates an additional evolved skill. It is hard to measure the strength difference between S ranks as what the skills evolve to can vary wildly in power.
An S rank Adventurer who evolves all of their skills disappears, no one knows what happens to them, some believe they ascend to godhood. some believe they are teleported to another plane to continue their improvement. No one knows, but many S ranks tend to retire rather then evolve their last skill and face the unknown.
Classes
Each class gains three skills. (aye? see that three thing coming up again?) These skills can be a multitude of different things, including but not limited to, attacks, buffs, healing, spells, movement, defense. These skills can be active or passive, though very few classes have more then one passive ability. upon evolving their class adventurers gain a fourth skill, which is more powerful and often exhaustive to use. Evolving the class usually modifies the three original skills as well.

The apocalypse happened and it was named- The system’s advent
The world either ended or it began when the system came online. People can now be immortal and the laws of reality are intertwined with what the people of earth know as RPG game systems. All of this and yet it is only the begining. What is in store for humanity when everything they thought was just smoke and mirrors turns out to be as real as they are and far more deadly. One man went back in time because of an event that shouldn't be possible to a place he had forgotten. For him it was a chance at redemption for a life he is ashamed of. It was a chance to make things right with the people he couldn't face before it was too late to say sorry. A changed man will attempt to defy logic that he doesn't even realize exists. He tried to be the dashing rogue and failed, he tried for the overbearing shield bearer and was worse than useless, he tried to be the rightous paladin and not even the dark gods would accept him. The only path left was the 'weakest' of them all. Ok so alot of you probably reading this are people who have read my previous works and I can only say 'thank you for your incredible patience' so much before it gets awkward but for those you who don't know this is my third story and no I haven't dropped the other two it's just that tragedy struck when I was writing them and I haven't been able to get my motivation for them back yet so I'm trying this as essentially a jump start to get back into the fight so to speak. I'm really hopefull that I can pull this story off the way I want it to be but only time will tell so here's to hoping, now let's get this show started.

Ghost Girl, Ghost Girl. She Gonna Take Your Soul!
Ghost Girl had no name or she didn’t want to use it, for she… is dead. Ghosts like her appeared due to lingering attachments to the physical world or unfinished business. Her unfinished business were her horrible parents! She will haunt them. Or kill them! Thus, the haunting (killing) adventures of Ghost Girl. Image drawn by Lizalot. I thought this image was a great fit as a cover.

The Otherworldly Treasure Hunt
Vic, our protagonist is whisked away from the confines of his bedroom to the strange land of the Otherworld, by the whims of a mysterious being. All in the name of finding some cryptic 'Grand Treasure' except... he wasn't the only one kidnapped and nor are all of the inhabitants of the Otherworld paticularly friendly. So, while Vic has a lot of questions, we have to ask... Will he survive? Will he find some treasure? Will he really be able to get back home? ... Perhaps. =====Summary Over===== Yo, if you are reading this then (like me) you like to read pretty much anything, including some guy's random rambles. Well you could read this story if you want but what's the fun in that really? I'm pretty much writing this (my first) story on a whim so it is certainly not perfect nor is it likely to be good (but what do I know maybe I'm secretly talented). It also might have tons of tons of errors beacuse I'm dumb and sometimes it's just so boring to proof read and you just wanna send a chapter out y'know. Regardless, whether this story brings you the most euphoric delight or illicits the most intense abhorrence I wanna know what you think and how I can improve, reader person, especially if you read this far! ( please reveiw or something)

New Escape
In a world not that unlike the present exists a fantastic technology to transfer one's consciousness into a game. A new frontier for video games has been opened, and my first experience in this world is an rpg. An escape from monotony and school has led me to experience a brand new world.(I originally lost my motivation for this story and kinda wanted to kill it, but I brought it into this world so I will fix it. I'll probably re-write the first chapters and include a more compelling story. Didn't really write the story for people to read in the first place and after I put it on here I stopped caring, but I am changed!(not too much but just a little))
