《YOLO?》Chapter 11
Advertisement
Sigh.... As I was writing this chapter and playing Civilization V my computer crashed as I was half way done with this shit....
But since I appreciate you guys for reading this I decided to write it all over again. Sigh...
Such a pain in the ass....
Without further ado....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 22 continued....
The elves have joined the war.
From behind the ranks I hear our commanders ordering a retreat. I quickly come back into my senses after watching the elves massacre my allies with their graceful movements and deadly magic and retreat with the other soldiers.
I was cut, bruised and battered. I didn't look where I was running and fell over a dead body. I get a close look at the face and I realize that it's Jack.... I puke out whatever is left in my stomach. I begin crying with snot running down my nose and forget about everything around me.
Someone picks me up and throw me over their shoulder and begins running while carrying me. I pass out.
Day 24
I wake up and find myself in a tent with a bunch of other wounded men lying around.
"Ah. About time you woke up."-???
A man who looks about to be in his early 20's who has a face that is borderline handsome and about 5"10.
"Who are you? Where am I? What happened?"-Me
"You're welcome for me saving your life. My name is Caleb and I dragged you here while you were crying like a little brat."-Caleb
"Oh. Thank you very much Caleb. My name is Regis."-Me
"You're welcome. After our generals found out that the elves have joined the Democrats they ordered our retreat and we marched about 10 miles east and set up camp at some hills. You were out for an entire day. Must have been your first battle eh?"-Caleb

"Yeah..."-Me
"About 8,000 soldiers died during the battle before the elves came. 4,000 more died while when they arrived and while we were retreating from them. Luckily for you I was nice enough to bring you your weapons."-Caleb
A robed man who I assume is a healer comes in with another commanding officer.
"Oops. Looks like I gotta go. Catch ya later."- Caleb
The healer inspects my wounds and says to the officer that I should be able to fight in the next battle. He gives me a lower healing potion and goes off to the other wounded men.
Watching the lower healing potion at work was quite fascinating. All of my cuts and bruises faded away and so did the pain. It tasted kind of like lemonade with a bit of lime. Still mentally exhausted I go right back to sleep.
Day 25
I have to report back to my captain that I am fit to fight.
I meet Caleb again next to my captain.
"Lieutenant (LT for short) Caleb, send these documents to the colonel."-captain
'wow Caleb is a lieutenant. I wonder if he is from the military academy or he climbed his way up during the war.'
Caleb notices me and promises to meet up with me again at lunch.
I report back to my captain and just wander around camp until lunch time.
I meet Caleb again at lunch and we eat together. He offers to spar with me so that I have a better chance of surviving in the next battle.
Sparring with Caleb was pretty fun and he turned out to be a pretty nice guy. I learn how to spin my spear and do some fancy tricks with it. He also taught me how to use the dagger I got from the dead guy. It turns out that Caleb is the son of a farmer and joined the army at the beginning of the war and made his way up.
Tired and sore from sparring I head back to my tent and go to sleep.

Before They Came (Magical Apocalypse)
Our way of life it ended faster than we ever thought possible. It didn't happen with a nuclear war, an asteroid, or a damn ice age. It ended because of another war, far away from us. The Ripples from that war changed the fabric of everything. If only we had known that it was just the beginning. Btw, the beginning chapters are short, but get longer as the story goes on. Thank you for your time and your patience. CLARIFIER: The MC struggles with himself. He has human flaws including IGNORANCE. The MC starts the story out drunk, which has a major impact on the story in the beginning and way beyond. The story takes time to unfold, please be patient. This story does not shy away from the darker elements of life.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Letters from a Dying World
Times historic are often penned after the fact in the lifeblood of the pitiful, forgotten masses. That roiling, uncountable crush of humanity, they who held the pikes and they who threw down the tyrants. Their veins opened by gazes academic, sharp and cruel, and pecked away at with quills, written out of their own story. The Second Dark Crusade was a time of such poignancy. A time when the light of man waned and flickered, choking in the acrid smoke of its own inadequacy. As befitting of such an age it has been covered more than a capital whore, and so I attempt not to tell that story again. That story of dull, unfeeling analysis. Neither here will you find the browbeating, propagandistic screeds so common in the hands of men, the light of youth still burning behind their eyes. Nay, here I shall attempt to cover fresh ground, not tread on the grave dirt of long dead authors. Here I shall attempt to tell the story of the small lives caught, unbeknownst to them, in the great and torrential downpour that we now call history. Here lies the true story of The Second Crusade. - Loremaster Ip'Qal

LIlith's Firstborn
The legend says that the Forbidden Fruit made the first two humans – Adam and Eve – intelligent, but what if it was the other way around? What if the Forbidden Fruit took most of their humility, their intelligence, their kindness, etc. away and turn them into the discriminating, angry, and hateful humans that they are? What if the only way to turn back into their former selves was to lead a good life on Earth to cleanse their souls? The legend also says that Lilith was a demoness who fled from Heaven and was granted mercy when she showed humility and proved that her soul was still worthy of saving despite all her wrongdoings. What if, after centuries of sinning, Lilith finally found her way back to kindness? What if God forgave Lilith for her crimes? What if she gave birth to a baby after she had repented? And what if that baby is the only human soul in existence that isn’t tainted by the Forbidden Fruit or her past sins? Tallitanya of Lilith inherited her mother’s immortality and grew up at a rate much slower than an average human so she had witnessed the rise and fall of empires even though she is physically and mentally 21 years old. She was born on Earth, but she moved to Heaven when she was physically 5 years old and didn’t return until she was 18 years old. She was tasked, by God himself, to guard over the Forbidden Tree which had since been replanted on an isolated island on Earth. She loves that job, and she loves that she was given direct instructions instead of having to figure out what God’s so-called ‘mysterious plans’ for her was. Centuries went by. Tallitanya is 21 years old when the Final Judgement is nigh. As an immortal who has yet to have a real affiliation with Heaven or Hell, Tallitanya has received a personal invitation from the Antichrist who wishes to recruit Tallitanya. Heaven also sends its angel – Michael – to inform Tallitanya that as a human, her soul would also be judged by God. She was ordered to leave her post as the Forbidden Tree’s guardian so that she could get to know the other humans before she makes an actual decision about who she wants to align herself with. The second she steps out of the island, it disappears. Turns out, her message from God was faked, and so was her mission. The devil had tricked her, and as the guardian of the Forbidden Tree, she must recover the tree and the island, or humanity will perish within the year.
