Day 2 continued
It is almost sunset now and we prepare for camp. My feet are hella sore and are aching. After dinner we draw straws to see who takes the first watch.
I got the first watch...
'sigh... my life sucks ass'
After my shift is over I quickly fall asleep.
Day 3
We walk in silence today as I have gained all of the information that Jack could tell me. Nothing interesting happens today and feet are killing me.
Day 4
Today I saw a rabbit all alone. I throw my spear as hard as I can.. I miss...
Everyone laughs at me but luckily Jack was able to kill it with his spear. So that night during the campfire we had a little bit of rabbit meat.
Day 5
It is about 10:00 AM and we reach the city. I was getting worried that we were lost and would never make it because we ran out of food and water so I was starving.
At the city gates the guards noticed us and sent us to the training grounds for the army which is located in the west quarter of the city. We are escorted there and I refill my waterskin at a well nearby. We wait in line to check in that the slaves of Jabba arrived. I see that there are plenty of other children ranging from 5 to 13 with collars on their neck as well. This country must be getting it's ass whuped if they have to resort to using children in battle i thought.
At around what I believe is about lunch time after we sign in a man with a magnificent Mustache comes in. He is HUGE. About 6 foot 7 inches and is wearing shiny red armor and is followed by armed guards.

"ATTENTION!"'Mustache
"Alright you worthless pieces of shit. I am your commander Sir Mcluvin the 3rd. You will all train here in the barracks for a week and then we shall march to battle for the glory of his Majesty the king."- McLuvin
"We begin your training tomorrow. You will be assigned a station depending on what weapon you have and you will learn teamwork and how to play well with others. The king his Majesty declared that if a slave shows much courage and honor in battle he shall give him freedom. DISMISSED!"-McLuvin
'That was interesting. If i am able to prove myself useful in this war I can be a free man.' -Me
I head over to where all of the other slaves with the spears are going and find my commander.
His name is Tamerius Jormandus and he was going to lead the spearmen into battle. We were given the day off and so I decided to explore the city.
The city was huge. Not as large as New Y*rk or Los Ang*les but still pretty impressive. There were not many people roaming around.
'The war must have taken a toll on the people'
I walk around and find myself in front of a temple. A white robed man who looks to be in his 60's which i assume is a priest comes up to me and asks....
"Would you like to come and donate to our temple? The gods will surely give you their blessings."-Priest
I decide to give him a copper coin from the slime that I killed.
"Thank you for your patronage. The gods will surely remember your kindness" -Priest
"Your welcome but I have a few questions about this town could you answer them for me?" -Me
"Why of course young man what can I answer for you?"-Priest

"Obviously I am not from around here. So where do you think I can sell this?"-Me
I show him the green slime ball that i got from the dead slime.
"Oh you can just go to the alchemist who lives a few blocks in that direction." -Priest
"Thank you. I also have another question if you don't mind. I am curious about the gods of this world you see. I'm not very informed about them." -Me
It looks like the priest just noticed the collars on my neck and he looks sad.
"Of course my pitiful child." -Priest
"What would you like to know?"-Priest
"Everything."-Me
"... Hohoh. Well that is a very broad subject indeed."- Priest
"Hmm... I guess I should start with...."-Priest

System Change
Years ago, Earth was indoctrinated into the "System." Earth was not the only place with the System, however. With the System came the other races, Invaders. The Invaders had one goal, to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. This created a bloodbath, and for years the war raged. This didn't really have much to do with Derek. Derek was kind of a loner. Yeah, he enjoyed the occasional chat or drink with others, but he never stayed in one place too long or really got to know anybody new. Derek did happen to be rather strong. After the years of fighting monster and Invaders alone, he had become quite adept at surviving. One thing that helped keep him alive was his refusal to get involved with others. He rarely cooperated with teams. One day, Derek broke his rules and decided to lend some help, as the mission didn't seem too hard. He should have stuck to being alone. Hey everyone, this is my fiction, "System Change." It's the first time I've really tried to write a serial. All feedback is really appreciated. I plan to release chapters every Tuesday and Thursday. With occasional extra chapters being released. I will try to maintain a word count between 1500-2500 words per chapter. Thank you! I just made a Discord if anyone wants to join.

The Long and Exciting Life of Kreet the Kobold (Life 1)
This is a coming-of age story of a kobold, set in a rather generic D&D universe. It is adult in that it certainly touches upon some sexuality, but it is far, far from anything that might be considered porn. It is ultimately a tragedy, but so is life. That doesn't mean it has to end badly, just that it has to end.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
