《Gambled World》Chapter 22

With his decision made Kal's body started to twitch violently. He was wracked with extreme pain and was wishing to die. He wasn't entirely sure what the hell he just did to himself but he is definitely regretting it at this moment.
Kal- "Ah....AHHH!......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
A wave of pure unbridle pain went through Kal before he blacked out.
--------------------------------
In an unknown plane of existence.
"So anyone want to tell me how in all the hells that we control this kid got those options?" A tall male speaks out among a group.
"It shouldn't be possible. I mean banshee and demon maybe but the third option wasn't even considered! We wanted something we could control not this! He was supposed to get Loup Garou, Vampire, and Harpy!" An armed woman speaks out.
"Interesting it seems there are more players on the board than we originally thought. Someone has taken notice of him as well, but the question is will we be able to work with him in this form?" A cloaked woman says.
"So long as he has hatred towards that bastard Chess than we should be able to manage. Plus he might be more inclined to deal with us "Dark Gods" than any of the "Light Gods" like Chess and the Spider Queen." The tall male says.
"True, but this unexpected turn of events is a little disturbing. Who know how he is going to develop now. After all Reapers are a race that are not to be underestimated." The last of the group a small female says.
"Then lets just keep watch and see what he does for a little while longer. Whoever intervened may not be against us. While his choice is troubling at least he has no enmity against us." The tall male says.
The dark gods all then nodded and left.
------------------------------------------
A few hours later back at the field.
Onyx finally woke up from her little fainting spell and looked around.

Onyx-"He could've let me sleep on his lap or something." She grumbled while looking for Kal.
When she did her eyes almost bulged out their sockets.
Onyx-"No way......Just what the hell happened while I was out!" Her shout echoes around the night.
Her surprise was a given considering the boy she knew for a short time had made some pretty eye-catching changes. His hair was now slightly longer and purple. His skin is more of pale color now with a shade of blue in it.
Moving forward she went up to check his eyes and saw that they had changed as well. They too had turned a deep shade of purple the color of dragonstone actually his eyes looked like two fine dragonstone gems! Other than that his appearance was the same just all aspects got a bit of a bonus. His skin was smoother and his muscles were toned down a bit and gave him more of a frail look. But if one would to feel his body they wouldn't find a trace of fat anywhere.
Onyx-"How did you become a Reaper!?" She really wanted to know what happened while she was out.
Onyx-"Well at least that solves the lifespan issue was going to have to figure out a way to forcibly increase it but with this you may outlive even me. Gratefully you didn't become a full reaper otherwise you would've lost a bit of your charm. The look is actually pretty good for you. Hmm hopefully you dont have that pesky problem with female reapers otherwise I may have to kill quite a few." Her eyes went dark at that.
After a few minutes, she heard some groaning and saw Kal start to move.
Kal-"Who hit me with a truck." He groans out.
Onyx-"I would be asking who hit you with Reaper genes."
Kal looked over at her confused.
Onyx-"Check your hair."
Reaching up Kal grabs some hair and notices he needs a haircut. Pulling down a strand he sees what she meant.

Kal-"So my hair is purple now.... Okay now how did that happen?" He turned his gaze toward Onyx.
Onyx-"Not too sure on that myself, after all I was unconscious. Although checking your stats may shed a bit of light on the situation." She replies.
Kal nods and does just that. What he saw left him stunned. Onyx shook her head and mumbled something about cheats.

Kal-"Holy shit! These are my stats!? Wait Reaper/Human 30/70?.....That potion! It turned me into something else!?"
Onyx-"Ah so you found a mystery potion that explains it."
Kal-"Mystery potion?"
Onyx-"Yes a mystery potion that when examined only shows ?'s and an undecipherable message. They do pretty much any random thing the one you got must have had a race change option which is the rarest among rares. Your luck is damn good." She shakes her head at him.
Kal-"I see... But my stats! my mana, int, dex, agi, and stamina took a huge leap! My strength only went to where the daggers raised it previously and my health took a drop but still! This is ridiculous!" He shouts.
Onyx-"I told you that humans were the weakest and well heres your proof. If you had become a full Reaper you might have gained a little more."
Kal-"Fucking discrimination!"
Onyx-"Oh did I mention that with this you will outlive every human on the planet now too?"
Kal-"Wait what!?"
Onyx-"Yep! Reapers tend to live very long lives. In fact if you get to a high enough level you could be downright immortal."
Kal-"Well I'll be damned. My health is a little disconcerning though. After putting the effort in to gain more I did a u-turn and dropped it." He finished with a sigh.
Onyx-"Are you serious!? Do you know how many being's would kill for the stats you have at your level!?" Onyx snaps and yells at Kal.
Kal-"My bad! I will appreciate what I got." He hurries and apologizes.
Onyx-"Damn right you will. Freaking human not understanding how amazing what he got is." She grumbles and points to his skills telling him to check his new ones.
Kal pretended not to hear her and check his new skills.
Soul Sight Passive (Max) (Racial): Allows one to see and touch the souls of both the living and dead. Reap Active (Beginner) (Racial): Reap the souls of all the creatures you kill and gain a portion of their experience. Cost 100 mana or 10 stamina. Soul Form Active (Beginner) (Racial): Turns the user invisible and intangible. Cost 200 mp or 20 stamina every minute. Warning possessors of soul sight can see and touch the user.
Seeing the new skills Kal could only smile.
Onyx-"What?"
Kal-"Well its a good thing we are on a battlefield. Because I have to test these new skills out."
Currently, Kal was staring at the souls of the dead all around him. And they just noticed he could see them as well and started shivering in fear.
Kal-"Now not even death is an escape." With that he went forward to test his new skills.

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge

The Trespasser
Synopsis Following his di—instincts, David finds himself in a weird situation; the next thing he knows, he's in a different world, dying, and manhandled by a big-ass alien. When the Source comes to his aid, granting him the access that—like every other sapient—he's due, David barely manages to get out of the fight with his life intact, but is that enough? Of course it isn't. The very Source giving him powers is also poisoning him to death. Oh, there she is, the petite female alien. Will that be enough to save him? Of course it won't. If he wants to be saved, he has first to save himself. The only way to do so is by getting to know the world around him, but even before that... Why the bloody hell did I have to be called Deviant!? *** Blurb? Blurb. The Trespasser starts slowly, I believe I've written a decent world, and I want you to find out what it's all about, won't just throw it in your face because of *levels*. I do not like stories that don't make sense. David is not a murderhobo, he respects life and answers to the world and the weird situations thrown at him with irony and sarcasm; so you are looking for easy killing streaks, you will not find them here. So, a man finds himself into the wild? It's a different world, and yet he can breathe its air? Finds himself in a lucky-low-level zone? Oh, look at that, people speak English—how likely is that? So, nope, not for me, gentleman. You won't find anything of the likes here. Again, a man finds himself in a new world but only thinks about the system? Yeah, that's not exactly how it works. David will try to find out what it's really all about, what the aliens want, how they work, why is that Fay really helping him? You can kill somebody to get levels, and yet there is not even a form of police? Not gonna happen here. Man becomes suddenly overpowered in a world where people can live for thousands of years by having enough luck to face only lower-level people? Hahaha—nope. Lastly...Spaceships and fantasy with LitRPG... say what!? Well, what's wrong with that? Let's make it happen, shall we? *** You want even more info? Really? Alright... David will start from the very bottom of the food chain, so there will be a settling arc—it's inevitable. David will find true companions, with personalities and backstories, and they will have a life of their own. There will be enemies, and those enemies will have a life of their own, too; there will be no evil just because. The world-building will have true depth; it will not exist just because the protagonist visits it. There will be both Fantasy and (Soft) Sci-fi—yeah, you heard that right. There will be rationality to every action taken, as long as the characters are aware of what is going on. There will be a godly system. You will come to read because of the world-building, but you will stay for the characters. The dead stay dead, and you will weep for them. There will be no action without a reaction. Lastly, there will be laughs. Are you still up for it? Then get in but fasten your seatbelts because it's going to be a wild ride. *** Release Days: Twice a week Release Time: ~09:00 PM UTC Words per chapter: ~3000 This web novel is also available on other platforms.

Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
