《Hero? I'm assassin, but that's the same right?》Black Goblin 4
Advertisement
Albino Forest, well it's more of a swamp really, but thad of no importance currently, as both swamps and forests have occasional animals, roots, berries, mushrooms, etc. Ask any bear, and if it's not completely retarded, it would also say 'picknick baskets'. Guess what I found? No, not baskets, but river. And any true bear knows that when there's river, there's fish, and so you could easily snatch a few from the shallow watersa, if you're bear that is. Or have some sort of fishing rod, spear or at least club. Or just by using magic, preferably water or ice, as trying to stab rapidly swimming fish with earth spikes is kinda hard, not to say that's not fun, considering that aiming at them with earth spikes, or needles is good for your aiming skills, probably.
Why am I fishing, you might ask that, but know that if someone fishes they just might be hungry, or trying to scam some people, those who tell that fishing is 'relaxing' usually have some sort of alcohol on them, and being deprived of my sweet kulpo juice for months...
Damn you guys, I just missed salmon! Not that I want to eat it, but it's quite frustrating. Especially if it's the same salmon that mocks me for this entire day! First it splased water at me and started giggling, and now it had the gust to smack me with it's tail!
“Screw it. [INFERNO!!!]” just as I used my favorite fire spell, mostly because it was flashy, the water in the river, or brook, whatever it might be called, started boiling and rapidly evaporating, for a few seconds, but that was enough to stun that little bastard. “[EXPLOSION], [EXPLOSION!], [EXPLOSION!!!]” just to be sure I got it this time...
Now watching as the fish falls from the sky, I might have found an even better way at fishing. And here's the question, will my meager amounts of mana last long enough to-

Health: 585/585
Mana: 31/1950
Stamina: 1989/2100
Well, [Inferno] consumes around 200 mana with my medium setting, while [Explosion] at that strength consumed around 500 or so mana. Standart [Fireball] would consume around 50-70 mana, well for me that is, considering that with my affinity and titles, some of them at least, the cost of spells and mana manipulation is reduced. But enough about spells, it's time to make sashimi out of the bastard~ I just have to find him among the other fishes, or I could just store them all in the invenory.
Acquired
Mini-Tuna x9
Clam x3
Frog x1
Salmon x11
Simon the Prankster Salmon(rare, unique) x1
Trout x4
Old boot x1
Rusty coin x100
Roach x33
I just wanted to get fish! Not like I'm against frogs or boots, but finding also coins... maybe they were hidden inside boot? Well, whatever, not like I'm going to reject this stuff.
Now to cook some fishes, and make sahimi out of Simon.

You know, that Simon was not as bad as it was annoying, quite tasty, decent enough aftertaste and a minor permanent buff to agility. Never thought that you could get stats from eating food. Well, except maybe if you're some sort of parasite, or xianxia protagonist, hell, maybe I really should start meditating and get myself some cultivation stuff and whatnot? It might even end in me saving the world from some ancient evil... just kidding, I don't care enough about all that goodness-evil stuff, I might still save the world if the price is right though.
Back to the matters at hand, as I got myself some food for not so long journey, might as well get going, thankfuly I don't need to sleep, not long at least, just short nap once in a while, and magic water can be safely consumed, well it's more of a moisture most of the time, but it can be created from magic, though the taste is quite awful.

Safely strapping my trusty, and somewhat crude, spear, and just as crude bow with even more crude arrows, as I was rather bored with making them, so I slacked off a bit, and really cool looking, and just as deadly, dagger, I the great Papy... Pyro, yeah, totally nothing to do with that spaghetti skeleton, moved... and fell right into the pit. Quickly jumping out of it, and dusting myself off, I was ready for another shot.
And so I, some crazy goblin with black skin and somewhat yellowish teeth, moved onto the path of adventure, and probably venegance, as that was manmade pit. Also there were tracks left by some human, as only human wear boots... humanlike creature, presumably human. Dwarfs and elves also wear them. Also my bear instincts say there's some honey nearby.

Twice Lived
Previously called Standard Reincarnation Story In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more. The planet was destroyed, and billions and billions of people were dead. And it was all an accident. This is the story of Elm. A regular American born once on earth and given a chance to be reborn again on a planet with magic and monsters and dungeons. Except that for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation into a loving family -- the standard story of a child raised by loving parents who teach him the ways of the world, Instead, Elm is born into a family of inquisitors. An order of nobility that is dedicated to hunting down and killing "Twice-Lived" -- the name society has for people like Elm who are reincarnated with all their memories of their past life intact. Disclaimer This story is: 1) Extremely violent and graphic. 2) Still in a rough draft stage. I see what I am writing more like a synopsis than a fully fledged story. I periodically will go back to flesh out earlier chapters, build characters, etc... If you find the words "Show don't tell," comforting accept that unfortunately, I'm not at that stage of the writing process yet. 3) At one point this story was called "Standard Reincarnation Story," and I had written an extremely off-putting description of the story. This was mostly to keep out people who would just read the silly first few chapters then rage quit as soon as the violent stuff got started. Since I just had my first .5 star rating (without a page read count increase) that technique is not working, so I might as well treat this as a regular fiction and try to get regular readers.

Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
