First Kill!! Rewarding soul points---error soul link sealed, see Administrator for assistance.
Ah damn, thought so that’s why it’s so hard for me to use magic and why I can’t learn any spells or martial arts skills. Hells’ admins have removed my connection to the great source of magic [Eden]. Now I’m a computer with no wifi. The only way I can get anything back is if I… oh wait here’s a message.
Administrator Zain
Sup, so basically I’m supposed to tell you your magic’s been sealed and shit. But like don’t worry you can’t draw power from the magic plains but you can still convert natural magic right? Yeah that wasn’t a question. Anyway the higher up you move the more of Hells’ seals you’ll be able to remove and you can’t really level up till then. So that’s all really. Oh I’m the admin in charge of this block, Zain, remember it, I’m like basically your God. well I’m not the real one but for you it’s good enough.
Hi, how are you, good and you, great thanks for asking. Curtesy is truly amazing isn’t it Zain? No, you don’t think so? Well the rest of the world does so try it out sometime. Anyway as you can tell I’m being hindered. Why I can’t say really Hell just has this weird custom of torturing people but it’s nothing much. How they expect me to win fight after fight with these seals only God knows. Plus, I still haven’t gotten back into shape nor solved any of the problems of my bodily needs. I’m tired but the “Self-defense” testing will probably go on for a while till I switch to the next form of torture. Oh a laser light like thing just got rid of the lizard, but left all the blood stains cause clearly they look real cool. Oh looks like my next fight is up right now. What? No break? No Medics? No water even? That’s cruelty, that’s Hell! Hahahahaha ahhh I’m really funny right. No focus. Enemy. Fight. Looks stronger, like from lizard person to crocodile person. Wonder what I’ll do now.
Crocodile person: “RrrrrrAaaaaaaaaaaaR!!!!!!!!!!!”
The humanoid crocodile charges at Thabo. Energy sabers appear in both its hands. Thabo collects some debris and forms a rough weapon and shield.
-hmm… I have an idea- Thabo thought.
Knowing he had little energy left Thabo decided to take a risk with something he hadn’t trained. Once again energy poured out of Thabo, this time clearly weaker and slower, but he wasn’t targeting the enemy. He was targeting himself. The concrete under his feet sake in and raised a little till it had reached knee high. Then he forced the remainder of his energy into and aura like form around his body that strengthened the bonds of all his being and weapons together. It wasn’t much but it was some protection and these reptiles were the dumb type to charge in without thinking so being immobile wouldn’t be a problem.

*Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! * *Bang! *
The creature swung its sabers at Thabo viciously. Skin tore, muscle shook, bones broke, blood spilt. There was some defense, but Thabo just couldn’t handle the creatures’ onslaught. In just a few seconds, not even half a minute, Thabo looked like he was about to fall over and die. Though this creature didn’t realize just how merciless Thabo was. He quickly grabbed onto the creature with his left arm, then threw his right hand down his throat. [Alchemic masters] Thabo was well aware of what people had called those with his type of magic in the past, so he knew resourcefulness was always key to victory for him.
He pulled his hand out his throat and vomited directly on the creatures’ face. And as his bodily fluids left his body so did the last of his magic power. The vomit without any food mixed in just seemed murky but relatively colorless. The liquid glowed slightly as chemical magic was added to it. And so the vomited stomach acid became more acidic and potent. As Thabo fell unconscious he saw one last message.
Both contests dead, draw, no points exchange.
Thabo woke up back in the stadium. He knew relatively how the system worked. You had to go through challenges in order and receive a passing grade before you can face the next challenge. But if you died you’d have to wait a set amount of time before you revived. This was more than enough punishment as every second wasted bought Thabo closer to his new entrant protection running out and him being permanently enslaved.
In front of Thabo now there was a different face? His new opponent had green skin a huge green head and even larger eyes. Its fingers were long and swollen at the tips. It was short, only 120cm. its nose was flat as a board and its mouth was always open and didn’t look like it had a tongue.
The creature just stood still in place and began to breath more rapidly when it saw Thabo. It breathed almost as if it was having a panic attack, but Thabo had a bad feeling. He then held his breath and ran towards the creature at full speed. But before he could reach it, it held out its right arm with its index finger glowing it then burst open and spurted green glowing liquid at Thabo. He stopped in his tracks and rolled to the side out of the way.
-possibly colorless poison breath and acid figures, its material type for sure, irritating- Thabo thought.
This opponent though was an easy match up for Thabo though, he placed his hand on the ground and poured energy into it. In a few seconds he lifted a section of rock out and threw it at the little green monster. The monster tried moving out the way whilst pouring acid on it but the rock connected and knocked it down. Thabo at this point was already right in front of the creature with a sharpened, hardened rock in his hand. In one clean hit he severed its head off cleanly. He then ran 100 meters away before he began breathing again.

Thabo: “*pant**pant**pant*…damn…*pant* that wasn’t even funny bro *pant* what if I died huh “
After a few seconds he ran back and collected the body.
-Keep what you kill- Thought Thabo.
He held the body in his hands before.
Kill registered. Souls points transferred. Transfer failed. Soul points saved to account. Rank increased to 17 097 505 305.[table]
Good the laser came and only took the head. I can keep whatever I can hold then. I’ll use this acid on my next opponent.

Like I thought my magic is amazing when I have materials and weapons to enhance. Now at least I’m not naked anymore but this werewolf skin is itchy. Oh well beggars can’t be choosers right. I still have a headache from those spirit wave attacks the warped pixie shot at me but my condition isn’t too bad. Seems strengthening my body with magic really does work but it burns like shit. Increasing all the energy in your body is clearly suicide you’d only burn your insides into mesh. I wish I had a martial art or magic circuit that would channel energy more efficiently or at least without the risk of killing me but like I thought beggars can’t be choosers. Looks like combats done for the day so what now?

Hahahah Lol as usual the devil knows how to have some real fun. I have been struck forming and deconstructing all sorts of weird stuff. I don’t even know what type of technology this is but if I make one tiny mistake *Buzzzzzzzz* I get electrocuted how fun, really this place is making me into a masochist you know. Devil are you an S or something? Anyway I’m getting tired again. Death usually reliefs that but I can’t afford that luxury anymore. I don’t know when my time will run out.

That should be helpful.

Fuck I won’t die here! Never! Fuck! This is bullshit, so your laser cuts parts of my body and you order me to stick them back on? That doesn’t even make sense… I’ve lost and reattached fingers more times that I can count… you can’t even really give punishment on this one its torture itself. Oh thank God I’ve stopped the bleeding. Now I need to disinfect the wound cause no doubt they’ll release bacteria again. Ah now I look like Frankenstein or was it his monster? I can’t really remember… hold up I can’t remember much right now… holy shit my memories are fuzzy at best. I can’t remember my parents’ faces!!!!! What the FUCK!!! At least have some fucking common decency whoever did this!! Some lines just shouldn’t be crossed!! Fuck if I ever get out of this heads will roll…
Ok next

Martial World
In the Divine Realm, countless legends fought over a mysterious cube. After the battle it disappeared into the void. A young man stumbles upon this mystery object, opening a whole new world to him. His name is Lin Ming, and this is his road of martial arts.
8 1136The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
8 179Shades Darkside
The world got turned on its head. Monsters popping up everywhere, otherworldly systems taking over and powers being giving to a select few. What is Shades to do? Where will the path he chose to walk take him? Will he be the same when he gets there?Will he even care?
8 206The Magi Magic Games
The planet of Vextel is home to Mana, an essence that can be harnessed and be used as Magic. Not everybody can use Magic, however. Only people born with Stigmas can wield Magic. People with this unbelievably amazing power are referred to as “Prophets”. Prophets from across the world are gathered into various schools to learn and master their acquired arts. Then the best students from these schools compete as representatives in the annual Magi Magic Games. The winners are then sent to the Zone, to fight other magic users from the planets: Craynax, Skyria, and Oeria. The winner then gets their deepest desire granted by the Beings; all-powerful creatures that created the games, and life. Elenore Magnus, a seventeen-year-old girl, a Prophet, dreams big. She wants to participate in the Zone Games to get her deepest desire granted. What is her deepest desire? To have her brother set free, who has been accused and branded a traitor for supposedly rebelling against the Beings. She wants her brother back and the truth. But first, she must win the Magi Magic Games.
8 82The Meaning of Life
It all started with that voice. One day, a slightly psychopathic teenager named Krey heard a voice in his dream. A goddess's request, a new world, the legacies of the Divine realms, the never-ending storms in the world of Salratia. With the carefree thought of "I shall live as I please~!", Krey sets out to begin his 'otaku' dream. But it is not smooth sailing. Troublesome divine entities, mortal politics and the relationship with his new companions. How could he, a former assassin and former odd-jobs part-time high school student worker (not to mention an otaku), a perfect example of a loner (though he himself doesn't seem to realize it) be able to handle this problem? "Ei! Whatever, there's still a few more centuries! I'll go travel the world in peace!" [Author here. This is my first time writing a story in RRL. Criticism is very welcome as long as it is educational and has some tips and bits of advice for me. I am still learning]
