《Life is not a game: Ice》Chapter 05

Ch 5
I woke up trying to piece together what happened. I then remembered with a small cold sweat. After the redhead turned red, she ran at me at an incredible speed and before I knew it, I woke up here. I guess it will become a habit of getting knocked out……. women are crazy. I looked around me and saw that I was in a new house that looked freshly built because there was no paint yet however it looks like the wood was merged together and the window is made of leaves. My guess is, is that this was made by an ability of some sort.
Then the doctor man walked in alone and said “looks like the patient is finally up I'm sorry but if you want to leave us now the bill went up by quite abit”
“can I sue red and get her to pay ?” I said jokingly completely forgetting the situation
“sadly if you try she might just punch you again, and there is also the unspoken rule that if she punches you, you deserved it. well that's mainly no one wants to go against an A ranked ability” he said, laughing through the last part of the sentence.
“you're a very easy going person aren't you.” I said
“ yes I am, Problem?”
“No not really. Anyway what's red’s ability anyways” i wondered.
“Crystal has two, her A ranked came from the beginning and the reason why she survived till now and is the powerhouse of the camp, it’s herculean strength it makes her incredibly strong and fast, her other ability that filled her last slot is minor fire forming which is D Ranked which we got on one of our hunts and we actually decided to give it to her because her hair. but the combination actually made her stronger since fire forming lets her cover parts of her body like her fists with intense fire to punch you.”
What I got out of the conversation is that they most likely don't know about evolution it might be only a S Ranked ability perk or something however she sounds scary and crazy.
since she sounded strong I decided to try to joke around “wow she sounds strong…. and crazy maybe you should keep a collar of ice on her for punishment ask an ice ability use-”

About the time I tried to tell him a hand covered in fire busts through my wall with a voice behind the wall yelling “What did you say!”. when the wall crumbled you can see crystal as red as the fire.
“sorry about your wall doc. and I was joking” I replied
“It’s john and it is also your wall and house it will cost you to fix it to” he replied nonchalantly
once I heard that it was mine house and that I would have to pay for the rebuild, the temperature around me dropped to the point where you can see your own breath except mine. of course I could have just tried to reject it and walk my own way but until I get strong enough I will need to have help since I have already almost died twice from those flesh golems.
“OI you Red you just vandalized my house, pay up.” I said in a cold voice.
“what do you mean you were talking bad about me you deserve it and much more clench your teeth” she said as she kicked off the ground towards me taking off the fire around her.
I immediately started forming walls of ice between us as hard as stone. In which she broke through them quickly but still allowed me time to form an ice platform under my feet to let me levitate at the same speed as her. We spent thirty minutes dodging each other's blows until I finally got hit in the face, however, it was not a strong punch it was more of a punch from a normal girl. I looked at the laughing girl in surprise as she said.
“that was fun let's do it again next time, have fun rebuilding.” she said while also running away from responsibility from helping.
Doc who has been watching the whole time chuckled “most people here are C Ranked and only two other B ranks are here but still not as strong as they could be. even they could not handle her for even a minute with her holding back that much she must have actually accepted you since most new people die”
“really what's so great about being accepted by her?” I asked.

“well to her the people she accepts are like family, since her family was tortured and raped in front of her, right before the change since her dad was some big shot in a company. Every one who she will accept must be strong, if she accepts you everyone else will also. Oh one more thing we are a semi military camp well what's left of it. this camp is for ones who have high ranked abilities or who wants to fight there is actually no one from the military before the change here but we keep contact with them apparently they want people who have abilities to help them help others since the government collapsed but if they do something we don't like we will leave so don't worry” he said with a confident smile.
“ok” I gave a reply.
“Hahaha and you called me easygoing.”
“well no sense in just asking questions blindly and besides you saved my life also so why not. I’d rather worry about how much the wall would cost.”
“Well it’ll probably be 100 gold and your debt to me would be around 50 gold o yeah you probably don’t know but we have two merchants here”
“merchants?”
“yeah it’s an ability, there is a system shop to buy health potions, strength potions and more like swords but it cost gold, another perk to them, is that if they sell to the system and its not on the system yet, it’ll be put on there so if you have something to sell or buy, go to them and if it is rare they might even pay for it more than it is worth to gain the item. so go to them if you have a chance they could explain the rest”
“Thank you” I said
“no problem” he said as he ran outside through the hole in the wall
“at least use the door!” I yelled after him
well time to see the so called new equipment I got “Items”

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Earth Ascension - Fantasy Adventure LitRPG
It’s a normal day on Earth when a powerful being triggers the assimilation of Earth and all living beings into the Ascended Universe, a frightening wall of light envelops the planet in order to drag it into a higher plane of reality. A place where abundant mana allows powerful magic and monsters to reside. The protagonist Dante wakes up in a dark cave with vague memories of his past life. He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison. Tasked with a grand trial, Dante is dropped on a planet he no longer recognises and starts his perilous journey through the Ascended universe. In this universe resides an omnipotent system that quantifies everyone's existence into numbers, it also assists people in becoming more powerful. Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.

Growth
A fantasy story set in a world after mankind has long passed. Their descendants inhabit the ruins of humanity, barely clinging to survival, plagued by monstrous beasts and blessed with strange powers. Note: Have not edited it at all yet. There will likely be pretty broad changes once I get around to actually reading what I've written.
