《Those Zombies Again》Chapter 20
Advertisement
When Sam's armor and stamina were restored, he decided not to wait any longer, but moved towards the mansion. There were no buildings near the fence, behind which one could hide, the nearest were in the area of hundreds of meters, but for Sam a hundred meters, it was only 6 seconds or so, coming out of the shelter, he rushed forward.
The guards did not recognize Sam, so they started sounding the alarm, one of them jumped off the fence, apparently running into the mansion, the second stayed and tried to hit him with a bow, Sam decided to ignore the guard and quickly break into the mansion, the gate was not too high, in the area 2 meters, Sam could already jump to a similar height, he caught on the edge of the fence and quickly climbed, after which he ran forward.
The security guard who had fled to the mansion ran inside and Sam followed him. He decided that it would be easier for him in the building, at least it would not be so easy to surround him. There were several women in the courtyard, but when they saw Sam, they just stood still and did not move, well, or hid away.
Sam ran into the mansion, he was met by a guard from the fence and three more people, all were armed, they ordered him to stop and said something about the territory of the ax gang, Sam of course was not distracted by chatter, and charged directly at them.
The technique of exchanging blows worked well, besides, it was easier to cope with four, Sam had already killed a lot of people, so he acted decisively and quickly, he quickly killed them one by one, and their blows, as usual, were stopped by armor. A second guard from the street ran into the house and Sam also stripped his head.

There were a couple of other women in the mansion, but they just shied around. From the beginning to the end of his attack 30 seconds passed, even though Sam did not take Jane's words easily, but he watched the mansion for half a day, so he figured that the number of fighters could be fewer, but not more. In fact, he has already got rid of 12 people, not many of them should be left around.
He decided to immediately go up to the 2nd floor and began to search the house, killing all who resisted, some of them did not pay attention to the screams, and went about their business. Sam walked around the second floor, then started checking the first, he found and killed four more.
He realized that either there was no one else here, or the others were in other rooms, or escaped, Sam could not stop everyone from escaping, he already acted as quickly as he could. He started shouting to all the other women, children and guys who did not resist, so that they all gather in the yard. And he told them to identify the bodies beforehand.
Going out into the street, he began to wait patiently until they gathered. When he noticed that no one else was coming out, he asked:
- Where are the others?
One of the women answered without hesitation:
- Master, from the gang of the ax, we did not find two, also seven people left in the morning. Of those who were not part of the gang, everyone gathered here.
In front of Sam were 8 women of different ages, two girls around 10-12 years old, two guys, one around 15, the other closer to 20.
Sam was somewhat embarrassed to hear her appeal, but after thinking about it, what should she call it? Perhaps something like "Sir" would be more relevant, but on the other hand, the word Master has different meanings, like a sword master or something similar, so Sam decided to leave it as it is.

Of course, Sam was not going to stay here for long, but after meeting with the government, he wanted to learn a little more about different abilities, moreover, after three months of the daily race for experience, he deserved a little rest.
Now he was in the outer part of the city, then there were various fields, planted trees, in general, there were still traces of people, but somewhere in 50 kilometres a continuous forest began, something like a nature reserve, and this forest stretched for almost a thousand kilometres.
In this forest there was a border between countries X and C. Sam was going to start exploration in the forest, check how the animals and vegetation are developing. So the people of this mansion can come in handy to be used as laboratory rats for animal meat samples and so on.
While Sam was thinking, he heard a noise at the gate, turning, he saw that Jane climbed over the fence and went to open the gate, after which, slowly, she went to him with her companions.
She was accompanied by three more girls and a guy, all young, except for one girl who was about 10 years old, if not less.
Jane carried in her hand a bundle with blood dripping from it, going up to the others, she dumped two heads, obviously, these were the ones who were trying to escape from the mansion. It all looked pretty cool, especially Jane herself. Sam liked her immediately, so he wasn't going to harm her. On the other hand, it would also be dangerous to drive up to her, she might cut off something from him if he does.
Sam did not know what to say or do next, he was not particularly interested in the backstories of these people, he turned to Jane:
- My name is Sam, I will stay here for a while - he took out a booklet and handed it to Jane - this information is from the government, check it out, after which, if you have any other useful information that is not in the booklet, please let me know.
- By the way, do you have a fishing rod? I'd like to go fishing.

Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.

Path of Righteousness
What do you desire? What are you afraid of? You run away from one, pursuing the other. Is that all you are? Conquer your fears. Dig to the bottom and confirm, what you really want... ...For you cannot escape suffering and death. You only have a little time. Use it wisely. Uru, a young boy with no talent for magic or fighting, sets out on a quest to become an avatar of order, the physical embodiment of righteousness, in a distant future, where control of origin energy allows people to defy physics and manipulate causality. Mocked by fate and broken by impossible dreams, all that's left is to stand in defiance to cruel existence. Because there is a Truth out there, somewhere. Singular, transcendent, eternal. What would you sacrifice for it? *** This is a fantastic sci-fi epic. It's going to blend both western and eastern traditional fantasy tropes – like might & magic and cultivation – with rational sci-fi grounded fully in reality, to produce a purely fictional fairy tale. I'd like to deliver something light-hearted and yet wholly serious. An uplifting adventure exploring the unfathomable reaches of humanity, free of indecency, with a healthy dose of humorous banter, legendary beings, and most importantly – lots of exciting, firework-filled mayhem! I've tried reading many web novels, but there's a fundamental problem with them – the eastern ones are annoyingly repetitive, superficial and morally destitute, while western ones are often dark, convoluted and profane. There's only so much one can do to filter out the bad and try to fill in the gaps with their own imagination. It's one thing to eat tasty fast food, but if it's moldy and filled with toxins, then it's not only poisonous, but also disgusting. The appreciation of beauty and higher values is disappearing at an alarming rate. Although there are throngs of talented people out there, none of them are creating what I want to witness – an inspiring battle against impossible odds, ending in absolute victory. A triumph of the spirit so overwhelming, it crushes the spectator into his seat and takes his breath away. I'm looking for a real paragon, so now I'd like to try conceiving one. *** The MC's name comes from Tolkien's Elven dictionary in Silmarillion, 'Uru' meaning 'Fire', and 'Dagnir an Uruloki' meaning 'Slayer of Dragons'. *** Note: I'm neither a native speaker, nor an aficionado of literature – I've never written anything before, and despite proficient English my literary prowess is abysmal. It therefore takes me a painful amount of effort to polish the chapters and bring them up to par. Last year I wrote and posted some on FictionPress, but I stopped since it wasn't going anywhere. The appalling amount of filth and mediocrity being peddled in all the media nowadays – a result of no conspiracy to manipulate the masses, but plain supply and demand – is no longer just the triumph of form over substance, but most worryingly corruption of the latter. Who wants to read about ideals anymore? And yet, masses flock together to gobble up perversion and depravity. That being said, I can't rule out pitiful exposure as the culprit to my failure, so I am now once again trying to increase it here, possibly for the last time. If there are still human beings present, hungry or in need of a detox after eating too much garbage, make yourselves heard, so I can see a reason to continue the story. Otherwise it's pointless – I'm not going to make fodder for the masses, and I'm most certainly not going to throw pearls before swine. I'll simply stop writing altogether.

Theory of Rifts (LitRPG)
You can join my Discord here. Keynes Kid is gifted with a photographic memory and being several months away from receiving Level 1, and a Talent, he finds himself in the center of attention of people who want to shape his Talent. If they can get him an intelligence related Talent, they will hit a jackpot. The Talent Unlocking ceremony finally comes and Keynes Kid receives… Error… Anomaly (What?) His new talent is… useless. Why then does the World Government want Keynes so badly they will silence anyone who knows about his Talent? At the same time... Somewhere in the Universe, ancient beings stir from their slumber, awoken by the system alert and the wall of glaring red warnings. Their greatest fear just manifested and they are hell-bent on erasing it from existence. -------- It is a slow-development story, so you won't find the MC with super powers at the beginning. -------- It is a coming of age story and focuses on a Talent system (in the beginning) with several additions that bring to the table upgrading of a planet’s tier and such (a bit later). There will be quite an amount of rebuilding society as new, unknown resources enter the economy, and a lot of travelling, delving and naturally, unlocking the secrets of the Universe. As for the setting, the story starts in XXI century, which technology-wise isn't much different from what we have now, but it is enhanced by magic associated with Talents. This allowed the humankind to colonize the solar system, but the technology that allows for interstellar travel doesn't exist (yet). Because it’s my first attempt at LitRPG, please be forgiving but constructive. I hope you will enjoy the story! --- Cover by Daniel Gembus https://www.artstation.com/daniel_gembus instagram.com/danielgembus
