《Life is not a game: Ice》Chapter 04
Advertisement
hey sorry i was not able to edit anything do to RL but i was able to do ch 4 hope you like and also your comments are appreciated
When I awoke i saw a man probably in his late 30’s or early twenties with black hair to his ears and a short stubble beard. looking around the room i can see the white walls and the tile floor while it was cold it felt and looked just like a hospital. Seeing me look around he decided to speak with a smile.
“your hospital bill is fifteen gold sir” he said.
i just looked at him dumbfounded considering to form ice and kill him or not how could a person joke at this time and to a stranger.I decided against it and just asked.
“Who are you?” i asked the strange man.
“your doctor, savior, and your would be killer” he replied
“killer?” I asked
“yeah we were hunting at where the flesh golems live and caused them to scatter, they normally hunt in packs to make more flesh golems out of there’s and other victims, and the fastest and quickest way to kill them is to seperate there bodys or in your case crush them. good job on surviving” he said with a smile
“where am I” I asked
“somewhere safe for now you're in a survivor community and I would like you to join us we have a few ice ability users but i'm still surprised that a C ranked was able to beat a B ranked monster.”
so he thinks i'm just a normal ice user which is C ranked right now I will go with it since I may need to keep an ace hidden.
“what do you mean join you.” I asked him.
“To join the community go on hunts with us, help out, and just survive for now…… or you can pay your hospital fee.”

“How much would that be just to keep my options open” I asked with a smile.
“ eh about twenty gold would be around the proper amount. I won't force you to join i'm just saying it might help you and us survive together. I will let you think about it until tomorrow just don't leave until you pay okay” he replied.
“ Ok” I said
As he leaves I then open my inventory to see everything I have.
inventoryHealth PotionsX 1Spirit PotionsX 2Black iron swordFamiliar BookGoldx 147
now I decided to move onto the book.
Familiar CreationA Ranked
the ability to create and control familiars. need to have a clear image down to each muscle of the thing you are summoning. a familiar lasts until it dies.
Take OutBack
this would be the perfect test subject to test the ice manipulation evolution ability. As I look around one more time, I secretly take it out. I look at it thinking on how I do it, I know reading it will give me the ability itself and not the evolution to my ice manipulation. So I decided on a gamble that might even destroy the ability book, but since I don't even care about this all that much because I don't know animals or new magical creatures down to the last muscle. if the evolution works it will then end up as a different power that suits me more. for the gamble I’m going to try to let the ice absorb it itself. as I start to cover it with ice I can see that everything the ice touched turned to dust. I had half a mind to turn back there but I knew it was to late to turn back now and continued until it was all dust then a new blue box appeared.

integrating into your power to evolve
remaining time: 5 minutes
I could barely contain my excitement and silently cheered for a minute. I finally stopped when I noticed the doctor from before, walking in with a red headed girl with short hair and a bit shorter than me, probably 5’6 and maybe not more than 110 lbs and had a nice chest, probably C-cup. they then looked at my feet which I forgot that an incredible amount of dust was there and since when my ice melts no water is made it was just dust on my feet I think I went a shade paler while they were looking at my feet. The redhead was the first to say something.
“Oi you ice did you just read an ability book” She looked into my eyes as if daring me to say no.
“ummmmm yes” I just smiled at her.
then as she was about to open up her mouth again four new blue screens popped up and I quickly shushed her.
Evolution successful
Living iceRank B Evolution
you can make any ice that you make into a living entity and can move on there own or controlled by you and can enhance them from other evolutionary abilities can not melt and lasts until it dies. Can connect senses.
congratulations you are the second person to evolve an ability and the first five will receive rewards into your items.
congratulations you have been chosen as the favourite of ### the sponsored items will be received.
when I finally read them and closed them I see the redhead's face as red as her hair and the doctor is laughing his lungs out.
also if you can pitch character ideas pm them to me Advertisement Previous

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
