Today RoyalRoadl is lagging a lot especially un the forum unless its just my internet connection. Back to action arc, the title spoils the content in order to psych you up for my cliffhangers. }:)
Log-in procedure initiated
Emperor appeared near the outside the repaired wall where he last logged out. He looked around and saw something strange. A drunk man, the one who greeted him at the party, was running towards him.
"Emperor help me I'm getting chased by monsters. There's so many of them." he said(imagine everything he says slurred)
'What is he talking about there's nothing behind him.'
-Calm down, first off why were you in the woods.
"I had to go to the bathroom and I couldn't find my house. So I went into the woods and forgot what I was doing so I started wandering around. I cleared some brush and saw a huge amount of monsters so I turned and ran. They should be right behind me."
-Well there's nothing so either they don't exist or they didn't give chase. As your future lord I shall investigate this matter.
Skill use successful, Eloquent speech leveled up
"Okay then I'll leave it to you, I'm going back to the party."

Emperor ambled through the woods assuming that Tom was drunk but wanted to take advantage of the fact the guards were drunk at the party to wander outside the village. He encountered a few sleeping rabbits in a break in the forest.
'I've got no weapons how should I attack them. They're too small to use Bull Charge against.'
While thinking this Emperor tripped and fell on top of the rabbits.
Critical Hit, new skill created, skill Crush leveled up
As he landed on the rabbits his weight completely crushed the rabbits causing some of them to explode. Lynford got up and started laughing and wiped off some rabbit guts.
'So that's the mature content and ooh a new skill.'
-Show skill Crush
Skill: Crush
Rarity: Very common
Level: 2(12%)
You fell on an enemy and caused some damage, that's it nothing special. Damage determined by weight and level. What did you expect some rare skill to make you feel good about yourself?
'Useful skill against small enemies but why are the skill windows so mean?'
Emperor continued through the underbrush hoping for something like a gathering spot or some more enemies to fight. Eventually he found another clearing with an empty mug near an edge. Emperor approached the mug.
'That's Schmied's mug so that must be where Tom was before he freaked out. I guess I'll pick it up and report back to Tom.'
Emperor dropped the mug right after picking it up
Quest Updated: CLIFFHANGER
Gonna split this up among several chapters since chapter 4 was way too short. Side effect is that chapters may end up shorter. Trying to balance this out.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.

8 153Undying Lairs: A LitRPG web novel series
Chris Able is as risk-averse as they come after losing his job with the Atlanta PD and his recent divorce. So he looks forward to a weekend of safe, table-top gaming with his old college friends in the beautiful North Georgia mountains.Instead, he’s pulled into a dank, monster-infested fantasy dungeon, where his survival depends on mastering the skills, magic, and personality of the player character he’s possessing. At least his friends are with him, but in the bodies of their own player characters. And none of them know how they got there.Chris soon learns that to get home, he and his friends must do the impossible – defeat a god-like being at the center of the dungeon that knows far too much about their Earthly lives.It’s not the weekend a guy with anxiety issues needs. The Undying Lairs series is a LitRPG web novel. It starts with book one, THE TOMB OF ANGELUS. You'll notice "B1" in front of the first 35+ chapters, which means those chapters are part of "Book 1." When book one ends, "B2" will begin, and so on throughout the series. I know how the series ends, but getting the characters from here to there is the fun part. :-) Starting March 22, 2022, chapter releases are 4 pm ET Tuesdays and Thursdays.
