“...shit.”
Meanwhile at the Kingdom of Lantanya
“What?! Where is She?!?”
Ever since the world quest was created the night prior millions of people found themselves frantically searching for the ex-best player, in a fruitless effort to get their hands on an s-ranked item.
“The quest is only E++ rank, that means she must've only spawned recently. So why isn't she here? Who doesn't spawn here?”
Kingdom of Latania- the most popular location by far, it’s numbers alone accounts for over 40% of the entire game's population, and why wouldnt it? With early access to skills like [Instant Transmission] and [Dismantle]- and techniques like [Katana Fighting] it’s no wonder that it's so popular.
“Hmph! These people are so dumb~” smugly stated a blond girl with a small stature. “Oi, No reason to insult others because of their lack of information on the inner workings of an insane person like Katherine.” replied a gargantuan of a man with silver hair. The small girl looked down towards the man whose shoulders she sat on and he looked up, “The Desolate Wasteland” they both said simultaniously.
And so… they both made their way towards the land people rarely touch.
Back with Hecate.

“...Shit.”
Hecate’s mood instantly soured and the beaming smile on her face turned into an angry scowl.
“Are you- like- fucking- what the hell?!?” she couldn't finish her own sentences. “Which bastard did this? Was it Paul? I know that fucker had it out for me!!”
“Clrranggg!!” Hecate’s violent shouts were rudely interrupted by a strange screaming noise.
Turning around, her vision was cursed with the sight of a giant two foot long ant.
“oh don't even start” she hardened the skin on her knuckles and stretched the rest of her arm as far as she could before suddenly jerking her shoulder forward, launching her fist at the strange creature crushing its exoskeleton inwards in the process.
[You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience has been earned.]
It wasn’t long before another equally sized creature crawled out of the hole in the ground that the first crawled out of, and what followed were hundreds of identical creatures.
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuck oooofffff!”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The sounds of bodies being destroyed indiscriminately rang throughout the open air as Hecate mercilessly slaughtered the insects that crawled out of the hole.
[You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Experience ha- You’ve exterminated a monster, Your Level has risen.]
The dying screams mixed with the monotone voice of the system sounded like music to the deranged girls ears.
And so a few hours passed.

“That's what you get, ya’ damn bugs.” she heaved in between heavy sighs. Surrounding her were piles upon piles of ruined insect remains.

“Ha:” she let loose a dry chuckle. “This game really is so unfair.” the girl’s muscles gave out and she fell to the floor.
“Wha-”
How much time had passed since she killed the last bug? A few minutes? Hours? Honestly she couldn't tell. An exhausted body plus the blazing sun made for a very trance-like atmosphere.
[Notice: Your Suffocating.]
“Mph.” she tried to shout but her mouth filled with sand, in response to such an unexpected situation- the girl tried to move only to find herself unable.
She was sinking- quite rapidly in fact deep into the sand that she had been laying on for quite awhile. “Gah!” she tried to shout but her mouth filled with sand- at this rate she would suffocate to death.
[Notice: You’re Suffocating]
‘Shit! Shit! Shit! This is really-’
[You’ve entered the hidden entrance: Anthill Monotony]
‘What the hell?’

Not your average Bird
Rago didn't have what you would call a good life... Or lives, in his case. For you see, Rago is one of an infinitesimally small number of people that remembers his previous lives. In his first life, he was a young spartan warrior that was killed for being too weak. In his second life, he was a young squire in the courts of Camelot that was tragically killed when his master lost control of his horse, and it kicked him in the head. In his third life, he was a child soldier in Africa that managed to escort a group of children to safety before he was shot in the head by their now ex-captors. And in his fourth life, he spent his entire life in a hospital bed being treated for a currently incurable auto-immune disease. ... But, that's when things changed. He was suddenly brought before an all-powerful being and given yet another go at life... Let's hope things are different this time.

My Servant Is An Elf-Knight From Another World
It was just like any other day, or so I thought at least. The birds were chirping up on trees, clouds were rolling by the bright blue sky and Elves were dumpster diving in the alleyway. Okay, one of those three didn't sound right... I had a boring life once. Recently though, it has become less boring... to put it one way. Finding a random Elf in the dumpster? Heh, must be a Monday. A normal person would have walked by. A normal person would have ignored it. I must be a pretty weird guy, then. Now I have this Elf swearing her allegiance to me. What's next, vampires? Better not jinx it.

Hero:Generation
UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
