“What is psukhôstasis?”
Aunty Priscy looks at me, surprised.
It’s as if I had told something really weird, as if… I shouldn’t know this word.
“Don’t tell me Gandock asked you to follow the psukhôstasis way?”
“No, not for me, but Jean could follow it, it’s a dark mage who is playing with me. But I don’t know what it is.”
Aunty hesitated a bit, took a deep breath, and finally tells me:
“Reapers, as in grim reapers, are creatures collecting souls from the deceased. Then, we call them psukhôpomps. If they have a scythe on one hand, they usually have a lantern on the other hand, which collects souls.”
“Why couldn’t I find any information on it on the forums? “
“It’s not really confidential intel, but it’s not spread. It’s a way followed by very few monsters, very few NPC in Alter Life, and they have many cons for players. Their growth is quite low, you have to spend much time looking for monsters souls.”
“Then why did Gandock told me to associate with a psukhôpomp if I choose to eat monsters crystals?”
“You want to become a ghoul?”
“Gandock told me it would be the best for me.”
Aunty looked at me silently for a little bit, and then:
“If you become a psukhôphage, a soul eater, then the psukhôstasis allows you to maintain the nature equilibrium, as if nothing happened...”
***
We continued to eat quietly, talking about many things around ecosystems and equilibriums in Alter Life.
Gandock is a knight who heartily maintains equilibriums, a certain order in the world.
Why?
It’s one of the mystery my aunty tries to pierce.
She looked for as much information as possible in the R&D service, but ecosystem intel is too sensitive, she doesn’t have the access.
She looks afraid for me, if I choose to follow the monster eater path.

The fact that the psukhôstasis, the weighing of souls, can play a role in the equilibrium of souls in Alter Life is still mysterious for her.
But for the equilibrium linked to the hunting done this morning, I can understand a bit.
When players began to come in Alter Life’s world, they began to hunt many carnivores, big animals.
Their prey, many herbivores and small omnivores began to proliferate, threatening the forest, field… quite every equilibrium.
Hunting reduces the number of those animals and protects plants and small animals.
There is more: places with many herbivores attracts bigger monsters, who are threats for human villages, mainly NPC.
Gandock is doing an invisible work which produces a certain peace in the area.
Nearly anywhere else, the world is burning is bleeding due to many monsters invasions, goblins proliferate, as well as orcs, sanguinary wolves, giant bears, and many other monsters which can find abundant preys where, before, there were much fewer.
This virtual world is more complex than it seems...

“So, Jules, what’s up since last time?”
“Oh, I hunted quite much. Gandock knight gave me chained quests. Look, just connecting, I already have three that appeared.”
Quest of the legendary meat bag (daily 1/3): Finish all the daily quests given by the quest masters (right now, you know 1 quest master)
Completing daily quests gives special rewards.
State of quest: 0/4 daily quest
Difficulty: G
Reward: Unknown
Quest of the legendary meat bag (daily 2/3): Devour 100 crystals of the same monster
Don’t loose too much time with this quest. It’s better swallowing new monsters, but swallowing weak monsters is still interesting.
State of quest: 0/100 crystals eaten
Difficulty: G
Reward: Unknown
Quest of the legendary meat bag (daily 3/3): Take 1,000 damage, give 1,000, use a competence 100 times.
If you have no competence, learn the guard from the first quest master you’ve met.

State of quest: 0/1,000 damage taken; 0/1,000 damage given; 0/100 same competence used
Difficulty: G
Reward: Unknown
“That’s weird!”
“Yeah, let’s begin looking for the quest master?”
“Sure, let’s do those daily quests before looking for the Komyshany town.”
“Oh, do you want to follow the way of the psukhôstasis? They say it can do a good synergy with the development I want to follow as a soul eater.”
“Why not? The name is cool!”
And that’s how Jean chose his undead class!
***
Guard competence is very easy to learn.
You just have to use your fists or a shield and hit a monster when it attacks you.
Learning it was a piece of cake.
As for the daily quests given by the quest master, it was most simple.
A few monsters to hunt, some mushrooms to pick, a napkin to put on the Necros altar…
Really the minimum to at the same time taking part of the village life, and at the same part not really taking part of its development.
When we finished our quests, something weird occurred.
“The quest Gandock gave me says 4 quests, but I only did 3, and I’m not given more.
“Hey, old pal! What is this last daily quest you didn’t give me?”
“A last daily quest? Oh, you might be talking about Pruurg quest! Go see him for me, after all, it’s for Zymivnyk village development.”
Nothing really original in the weaver quest, just collecting some mushrooms and algae, and then doing oneself a napkin.
Next next, instead of making one twice, I will begin by this quest on the spot…
Fortunately, it’s really quick, in no time it wwas done.
“Thank you very much! Thanks to you, I will be able to develop my activity, and begin to sell my products to Komyshany town!”
Quest of the legendary meat bag (daily 1/3 finished): Finish all the daily quests given by the quest masters (right now, you know 1 quest master)
You have finished all the daily quests of Zymivnyk village
State of quest: 4/4 daily quest
Difficulty: G
Reward: Your affinity with the quest master is enough to get the title friend of the village. Goods transport quests for the closest town are unlocked. You can claim to the quest mater the minimal equipment.
***
Title: Zymivnyk village friend (+5 affinity with Undead when the title is wore, -5 affinity with other races, +5 affinity with Zymivnyk habitants; +2 affinity with quest masters even if the title is not wore)
“Wow! My second title! I will become super friend with Undead!”
“It’s useful to unlock new quests. You need a minimum affinity level before being able to unlock more interesting ones.”
“I just have to put back my title when I come back, and remove them as I change avatar. Else, I will get attacked again by Gandock, like last time.”
“Oh, yes, it happends to me every time as I reconnect!”
Seriously, Jean… we really look alike a lot.
“Hey, old pal! We want the basic equipment! And we would like to know what it is, goods transport quests!”
“Oh, well, take this...”
You received a bonnet, a skirt, gloves, pants, all in old used canvas.
PV +10, DEF +5
It’s fragile, don’t overuse it!
“It’s the best we can do around here! If you spoil them to much, just ask Pruurg to repair them!
“Good timing, as I’m talking about him, now, you can transport for him his production to the weaver guild, in Komyshany town. It’s a quest that will increase our village reputation!”
If everything he produces is as broken as the clothes we just got, we are not going very far...

The Evil God is forced to become a Sidekick?
Fauros, one of the trillions of gods that inhabited the cosmos, and the only one that almost managed to reach true omnipotence, was cornered and betrayed by everyone he once considered an ally, his greed, and thirst for power made even the most vicious of gods to become part of the alliance to exterminate him. In every meaning, the entire cosmos united in order to stop him from reaching ultimate power, and unfortunately for Fauros, they succeeded.Fauros felt his own body crumbling apart as his existence dissipated into cosmic dust. However, right as he was about to disappear for once and for all, the voice of something or someone called out to him and bound a strange rule on his shattered soul [Your soul shall be of use for me... Not every day do you find a disappearing almost-omnipotent god ready to serve you] "Who's gonna serve you motherfucker? Come here and I will rip out your **** before then I ***** into your disgusting *****" ... Fauros wasn't exactly very well mannered... ... [Look at your tongue, even on the verge of disappearing you keep badmouthing everything in existence... -*Sigh*- Either way, I will now send you towards your new mission] "What new mission you fuck, give me my body back so that I can kick that ugly face of yours" [Make sure to make lots of good friends down there!] "Hah?" Thus, the evil god that once desired to control everything in existence was sent like that towards a very small planet in the middle of nowhere so that he could become... ... ...The sidekick of a Gary Stu in real life... °°°°°° The MC will be the Evil God by the way, just in case someone got confused. Just had this idea, just testing how does it look for now... Maybe I will continue it if I like it.I will also add more tags when I'm done planning completely the novel.
8 171Iferes: Slaves Of The Gods
Iferes are creatures that roam the world. They are everywhere, and anywhere. From the deepest seas, to the highest mountains. From the heart of volcanos, to the never melting glaciers. Some are weak, some are strong. Some are calm, some are bloodthirsty. What they all have in common, is that they fight for survival. For hundreds of thousands of eras, humans and Iferes lived in a world of war and blood. Ifere against Ifere, Ifere against humans, and humans against humans. But one day, in a very distant past, the twelve Mystic Iferes, and the twelve greatest kings of humanity, joined hands to end that cruel era. Together, they created a contract. A contract that, once made, would bound the two parties, and could only be broken in death. Millions of years went by, and that period of war faded in legends. And a child was born, a child that would change everything. For bad or worse, only time would say. ----------------------------- Hello, everyone! Just a few warnings before you read the novel, so you won't be disappointed. First of all, as you can probably tell, I took more than a few ideas from pokemon and the like. It's almost impossible to write a novel where creatures (Iferes) have a major part in, and not relate it to pokemon. However, as you will see as the novel goes on, I tried (and I think I succeeded) in making a universe of my own. I am sure you will like it. Secondly, compared to pokemon, my novel is a lot darker, as you probably noticed by the synopsis. I also try to give a wild west vibe to it, if you know what I mean. Thirdly, you should check out my fanfic Broke: A Clone Wars Tale. Biased as I am towards it, I think it's a great story, and so do many of my readers. It will also give you a glance at what writing style to expect. Fourth and last, I feel like it's only fair that I tell you I am a student. As much as I love writing, my main priority will always be my studies. After all, writing is just a hobby for me, at least for now (fingers crossed). As such, there probably will be interruptions in the release schedule here and there, but, if you followed me on my other novel, you will know I rarely missed an upload, and, when I did, I always made up for it. So, with all that said, I hope you can give the novel a try, and leave a review. If you are a new reader, I hope we can have a lot of fun along the way. If you read Broke, then we already made a journey together, and I hope you will follow me on a new one. Also, you should check out my patreon, there you can get chapters in advance (although they will all be published normally after a while), and a few other benefits. I appreciate every bit of support you can give me! patreon.com/reis123 PS: there will be romance, but no harem or reincarnation. The MC is just someone who was born and raised on this world.
8 184Cuts and Bruises
She hears all the locker room talk. She helps when the guys drink too much before a game. She tapes them up when they're injured. And in return, they watch her back. While most students spend their time partying, Lily spends her free time working. But her job as the assistant athletic trainer for the PSU football team comes with the benefit of being friends with every player on the team. Except the entirely too cocky, reckless, and charming golden boy of the team: Vincent Bradshaw. When they aren't spouting insults at one another, Vincent and Lily are doing everything in their power to avoid each other. That is, until Vincent gets injured.
