The Champion of Justice
The goddess, Nemesis, has seen your talent, and your volition to restore the town of Khurt. She wishes for you to be her champion, and protect her worshipers, and her shrine, from the incoming forces of evil.
Difficulty: B
Requirement: Be an acolyte of Nemesis
Time Limit: Before the town of Khurt is razed
Reward: ???, ???, ???, ???
No question, this quest was going to be great. "When do I start?"
Quest Accepted
Nemesis spoke, softer this time. "The invasion will not happen for another week, so you have time to train, and prepare. I will give the priest a vision, and he will alert the townsfolk of the impending danger. Meanwhile, you have the option to train, with me."
"What?" Mathgar was dumbfounded. Five minutes into dialogue with a god, and he can train with them? He was definitely glad he stayed in Khurt, isolated as it was. It was almost like a single-player VR game, but it was still cool.
"Can I start tomorrow?" He asked, kindly.
"You may, but you must not tell a soul of what you have heard tonight. Now go for now, and return tomorrow, and be ready for the training." Nemesis's glow slowly ebbed back into the statue, and the ominous presence disappeared. Mathgar felt an unknown pressure release in his chest. It must have been the sheer power of the god, he assumed.
You have gained the Faith stat. You cannot allocate points into this stat. Actions that are done that pertain to this stat will give points to this stat accordingly.
Faith rises by 30. (+30 FAITH)
"Welp, I'm done for today." Mathgar clasps his hands together. "I have to tell Kody about this. He is going to flip out! But, first things first..." He left the church, and locked the doors behind him, like he had promised Marvin. Then, he checked his current skills.

Wow, he said in his mind. He has just pulled a "Karate Kid". No way that he did this much work in two days. Now that he thought about it, he would become even stronger in the next few days, offensively, with Nemesis's "training". He was ecstatic. He logged off with a huge smile, knowing that the next few days were going to be VERY rewarding.

Matthew jumped out of the pod, and reached for the phone, to call his best friend, Kody, who also played RR, but Matthew never got around to telling him that he started. Kody answered after a few seconds.
"Yeah, what's up, Matthew?" Kody said, with a bit of a grumble. Matthew probably woke him up. He forgot that he was still traveling around the world.
"I forgot to mention this, but I joined RR two day ago, and I just got some really cool stuff to talk to you about!" Matthew was so eager to tell him everything, that he could throw up. Not really, but close.
And then, the cracked door to Matthew's room closed, and Alex ran off to his room, a devilish grin on his face. "I'm going to beat you, and your "cool" character..."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alex had asked for a loan from his friend, who ran a small computer business. Being the skilled "moocher" that he was, he was able to borrow enough money to buy a capsule, and put it into his room, after using his truck to transport it from the manufacturer to their house. He had to carry it in himself, since his dad was busy in the garage, and Matthew was already in his capsule for the day. Man, this is heavy, Alex complained to himself. I thought this was lighter, Matthew carried his own in, and he didn't even break a sweat. Geez.
After the angle turns, and the awkward transition through his door, he set up the capsule next to his bed. He called the Unicorn Company, and set up his account in less than 5 minutes. After that, Alex angrily sped through all of the chores for the day, like a raging whirlwind, then sat down next to his pod. He smirked. "I will have the better character, just you wait, Matthew." And with that, he entered the pod.

Artifice: Iysinfyr
Nalulthyn is the young daughter of a duke that is one day asked for a favor. This favor involves the adopted daughter of the duke from a neighboring area. This girl has had a traumatic past and has closed herself off from the world completely and reacts violently when touched by anyone but her personal maid. The duke hopes that a girl close to the age of his adoptive daughter will be what she needs to recover, but things are never as easy as they seem. First is that this adopted daughter is a Terran, a rare being from a different world that has skin and hair as white as snow and an almost alien build. Second is that there is a power to this girl, one that makes her recovery all the more dangerous to Nalulthyn and perhaps beyond. Author's note: This is a soft reboot of Artifice: Tools of the Gods. As I wrote the other story years ago I felt it would be better to do this approach as my writing has changed and improved since then. For now only two characters will return though I might reintroduce others later in the story. Even though this has the gore tag, I don't plan on being excessive with it. Most chapters shouldn't have any. The only reason I have it is to be realistic with the descriptions.

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
