《The First Realm》4.1 - Expedition to the Cliffs
Advertisement
Caradon Day 3 - Earth: March 3, 2020
The quiet of the dense woods cradled the small group with invisibile hands of solitude. The lack of a clear path through the forest required the party to take twists and turns over rising and falling topography during the hike from the town to the cliffs. One soldier led the way while the other trailed behind the two miners as the miners spoke quietly about the possible deposits they might find. Fortunately, it was an uneventful three hour trip to the cliffs. They arrived at a very defensible jog in the cliff that provided a little cubby where the soldiers decided to make camp. They setup the military tent and the location for a camp fire for cooking. Once the camp was in order, the party set off along the cliff to search for ore deposits.
After one hour of searching the miners found a vein of ore that appeared to be copper. The miners spent another hour collecting samples of the ore to be classified later. There was still some light left so they continued to travel north along the cliffs. The cliffs jogged in and out as they travelled. Multiple times the party had to move west for 10 meters to circle around a dense grove of trees. The third occurance of circling around a dense grove brought a surprise. There was a cave in the cliffs near the north side of the dense grove. The lead soldier carefully approached the entrance with his sword in his hand in case it was needed. As he stepped up to the threshold, he was greeted by an unexpected blue screen.

"You are not going to believe it! I just got a notification saying the cave is a very easy dungeon. It is asking if we want to enter the dungeon as a group. Since it is very easy, I think we should enter." Stated the first soldier.
"Is it safe for us? We are just miners with no combat training." Asked a very nervous Tamara.
”It is a small risk, but I doubt a very easy dungeon will be dangerous.” Replied the other soldier.
The older miner sighed and said “Ok, let’s give it a shot.”
The two soldiers led the way into the cave with enough space between them to allow the miners’ exposed flank to be shielded by the soldiers. Suddenly, a large rat launched itself at the soldier on the left. He easily dodged the attack and countered with a critical strike that dispatched the large rat.
Congratulations you defeated a large rat! Each member of your party earns 10 XP.
The party members searched the room for any more foes or any interesting loot, but the room was empty except for the now dead large rat. One of the soldiers placed the rat within his invetory while the party prepared to move through the only exit within the room that lead deeper into the cave. The party carefully advanced into the second room using the same formation as the previous room. One of three large rats squeeked as the rats attacked the party.
A large rat bites Soldier 1 hitting for 3 HP of damage. Soldier 1 is bleeding for 1/2 HP per minute.
A large rat bites Soldier 2 and fails to hit.
The third rat darted between the soldiers to attack the miners. Tamara stepped forward to engage the rat while activating her [Alter Body: Enhance Skin, Beginner Level 2] power.

A large rat bites Tamara hitting for 2 HP [reduced from 3 HP]. The bite is less than 3.5 HP, so it fails to break the skin.
Soldier 1 stabs large rat #1 hitting for 8 HP of damage. Large rat #1 is bleeding for 2 HP every 10 seconds.
Soldier 2 strikes large rat #2 [CRITICAL HIT] for 36 HP of damage. Large rat #2 is decaptiated!!
Tamara strikes large rat #3 with a pickaxe for 4 HP of damage. Warning the pickaxe is stuck in the rat! Tamra struggles to hold on to the pickaxe.
Miner 1 strikes large rat #3 a glancing blow for 1 HP of damage.
The humans were winning again. Yay!
Large rat #1 bites Soldier 1. Bite fails to hit.
Large rat #3 struggles to rip itself free from the pickaxe causing 3 HP of damage. Large rat #3 is bleeding for 4 HP of damage every 10 seconds.
Soldier 1 stabs large rat #1 hitting for 5 HP of damage killing the rat!
Soldier 2 stabs large rat #3 [BACKSTAB] hitting for 18 HP of damage killing the rat!
Congratulations your party defeated three large rats! Each member of your party earns 30 XP. Tamara has advanced to Level 2! Miner 1 has advanced to Level 2!
The second soldier binds the leg wounds of the first soldiers right leg preventing further loss of HP and reducing the risk of infection. While the first aid is being applied Tamara and the other miner search the room and find a small chest near the back wall. They carefully open the chest concerned there may be a trap, but the chest which contains 8 coppers is not trapped. There are no other rooms within the dungeon, so the party moves toward the exit. Before crossing the boundary of the dungeon, a blue screen appears.
Event Notification You are leaving the [Very Easy Level 1 40%] rated dungeon. The timer is set for 4 hours, and everyone is prevented from entering the dungeon until the timer reaches 0.
It is time for the party to return to their campsite.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.

RE: Souls War Apocalyse
When I and every other humans on earth have been summoned to the cursed world of Yvelmore, to serve as a front-line soldier in an impossible war against an invasion of nightmarish creatures, I knew right away that something was going to go wrong. I was right. The war? Hell, we lost it so much all the nations of the world have been destroyed and all the races have disappeared. Me? I was a veteran who survived until the end. Was I strong? Fuck yeah of course I was, except ... it was useless, I died like everybody else. The bad news? When I thought it was finally over, I woke up in the past, the moment I was summoned to the beginning of the war. Come on, seriously? Do I really have to go through all that again? What? And everything restarts every time I die? No... are you fucking kidding me? Right? Genre: Action, Adventure, Medieval Apocalypse, Times Loops, Progression, War & Fantasy, Grimdark, Magic, Horror, LitRPG (but RP). Tone: Despair at the firsts chapters (which makes sense for a story that begins with the end of the world, doesn't it?), and lots of humor and stupid situations after to lighten the tone of the story. (Oh, and the MC is NOT a psychopath, a rapist, a hypocrite, or human garbage, so sorry for those who like that, because I don't like that). Note: Expect this story to contain grammatical errors and occasional random conjugations. I am learning English, and I have made a lot of progress, but I still have some gaps. So if you're allergic to it, don't read this story, you would inevitably be disappointed.
