Chapter 15
"Hello mother" Johanna rather coldly
*growl*"why are you here mother" ghost burning with anger
"What brings the greater goddess of charm to meat us" mr.smith
"For a goddess of charm you’re rather ugly, your children are easily 10 times as beautiful as you" jack
Everyone looked at me in a mixture of shock and awe, except for Johanna and ghost who were still staring at their mother
"You tried to kill me! Your own daughter!" ghost
"Oh, now that’s some interesting information" jack
"Why is that?" mr.smith
"Can someone please explain the punishment for trying to kill someone I care about?" jack
"A painful death, but are you seriously planning on killing a god? Without a weapon?" jacobe
"Don’t insult me" goddess of charm
As soon as she said that she lunged at me.
"Too slow" jack
I side step and strike her in the side of the head, hard. I feel stronger, a lot stronger.
'Must be the result of my soul eater ability and my devourer of soul’s title' jack
She glares at me angrily.
"YOU DARE HIT ME!? I WILL SEND YOU TO HELL FOR YOUR TRANSG-" charm
I shut her up with a strike to the gut. After which she tries to rip my head off, failing miserably.
'Speaking of soul eater I wonder if I can eat a god' jack
I bite her arm and rip off some of her flesh, swallowing it. She manages to hit me in chest. She didn't hit me because I couldn’t dodge, but because I was so engrossed in the taste of her flesh. It was delicious, the greatest thing I have ever tasted. Her savory meat and sweet blood, I understand why vampires love the taste of blood so much. I lick my lips, sending her into a rage.

"You know, I’ve been wondering something. Why haven’t you used magic against me? Gods have extremely powerful magic right? Or maybe the only magic you can use is charm magic." jack
By the look on her face I was right on the money.
"That sucks for you because I’m immune to charm magic, courtesy of a certain succubus" jack
She then tried to strike me in the face. Instead of dodging I bit some of her fingers off, 3 to be exact. She lunged at my one more time; I sidestepped, grabbed her arm, twisted it behind her, and sunk my teeth into her shoulder. This time instead of ripping I decide to suck out that sweet nect- I mean blood.
skill obtained: vampirism
I felt my canines elongate and the ease of which I was sucking her blood out increased. she somehow broke free when I relaxed my grip.
"I’m retreating this time, but next time I’ll kill you, I swear it by all the ancient gods" charm
"yah, good luck with that" jack
I suddenly feel extremely light headed and I fall to the ground, slowly loosing consciousness
"he'll be fine, just too much power in is body for it to handle right now" mr.smith
title obtained: god eater
I wake up in a black room, no not a black room as I am simply floating.
"hello" god of death
"if you've come to see me it probably means I have died, right?" jack
"no, not at all. you are still very much alive" god of death
"then why?" jack
"some of the higher-ups pulled a few strings to get you a new body" god of death
"why?" jack
"some people, me included, have grudges against that goddess of charm. or rather that spirit of charm now." happy god of death

"so what are my options?" jack
congratulations! you get a new body! and thanks for showing me that hilarious scene. here are your options: imp, goblin, zombie, cat
"these options seem kind of weak" jack
"don't worry about that, you are capable of evolving 3 or 4 times right now, these are just to show you the path currently available for you to go down" god of death
"interesting, I guess I’ll be a demon then. I chose the imp" jack
"oh, most people chose goblin" god of death
skill obtained: demonic presence
title obtained: the reborn
congratulations! you have evolved into greater imp
skill obtained: torment
congratulations! you can evolve! chose one of the following: lesser shadowling, lesser ginger
"why those options?" jack
"for ginger it's because of your soul eater ability, for shadowling it's because of your fighting style. using shadows to hide yourself and attack your opponent from behind. although gingers are considered higher ranking demons than shadowlings" god of death
"then I guess I chose shadowling, fits me better" jack
congratulations! you have evolved into lesser shadowling
skill obtained: thin presence
skill obtained: silent step
skill obtained: blink
"now you have 1 more evolution, chose wisely" god of death
congratulations! you can evolve! chose one of the following: greater shadowling, devil
"greater shadowling of course" jack
skill obtained: transparency
"so what do I go back to the world of the living now?" jack
"no you have a little bit before you waked up" god of death
"so what now?" jack
"you ask me questions" god of death
"why?" jack
"consider it a personal favor, I don't like that charm goddess any more than the next god or goddess" god of death
"fair enough, so why does everyone hate her?" jack
"different reasons. to sum it up, she is a little bitch. I don't like her because she killed my son after he resisted her charms, of course that was hundreds of years ago" god of death
"well then, so I’m pretty popular with the gods right now, right?" jack
"how could you not be, the only god that didn't have a grudge against her is the absolute god, and even he hates her." god of death
"then why hasn't anyone done anything against her yet?" jack
"her charm magic is extremely powerful. you could even say she’s a genius, no one could go against her." god of death
"what is a god really?"jack
"a god is one of three things. a child of 2 gods, a non spirit type creature that got so powerful that their soul fused wittier body, or a spirit type creature that got powerful enough to create their own body." god of death
"why has the world changed the way it has?" jack
"for the entertainment of the gods, and the whim of the absolute god, but there will be more updates to your world." god of death
"updates?" jack
"their is going to be some changes to the 'system', nice name by the way, the closest one in the future is the ability to increase stats manually, I can’t tell you any of the others as they are classified beyond my right to know" god of death
"fair enough. I don't really have any more questions" jack
"and it's time for you to wake up anyway" god of death

The Last Woman on Earth: A Military Sci-fi Intrigue
A disillusioned military officer and the self-proclaimed ‘last woman on Earth’ embark on a journey to uncover the truth behind a world without women. Second Lieutenant Alexei Vronsky is clinging to his sanity after his comrade was killed in a prolonged siege, but the time for self-loathing and wall punching is over. He finds an intruder in his room, who claims to be a woman—a mythical creature only existed in ancient texts. Against his expectation, she has no wings attached to her back, no laser guns on her shoulders, and not the slightest idea about the endless war between the Republic of Moskva and its vassal states. Suspecting she’s a government experiment, Alexei determines to find answers to the impossible existence of women. However, the deeper he digs into the dark, the further he realizes there’s more to the eternal war than he’s allowed to know. And the sooner he can stop the cycle of needless deaths the better, before he's shut down. Permanently. [Apart from being a war novel, this story is also a progression fantasy. The MC will get stronger, acquire more special abilities and fighting gears. They come later in the story, though.]

Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.

(un)Lucky
After dying on his hospital bed, Jack is surprised to once again regain consciousness. Turns out he’s in purgatory where he learns that God has been pretty into gaming lately… you already know where this is going, don’t you? Yeah, yeah, I know, another LitRPG story like many others. SO original… But why then do we keep reading them and looking for more? The answer, for me at least, is because they’re usually just plain fun. That’s all I hope my story can be: fun. No fixed releases for now, nor any future plans. I’m just trying to enjoy my time writing it. Btw, the cover is something random I did and has absolutely nothing to do with anything. Don’t ask me why.
