《Codex of Shadows》Chapter 7

“Max, how big is the group in front of us?” Asked Nick.
“12 of them, but there are two smaller groups nearby so we have to finish it fast or else we will have double job.”
“Good, I hope we can handle this numbers, otherwise we are all risking this for nothing.”
“Don’t worry too much, if it gets though on you guys I can create a way out for you.”
“Do you think you can surely do it?”
“Not surely, but probably.”
“Is that so… Fine then, I’ll count on you if it gets rough. Guys, let’s move out, stick to the plan and we will be fine.”
Group stood up and started following Max, soon after Max disappeared from their sights and they knew that was mark for fight, following which Mark charged out with a low shout and ran into the group of kobolds. Right after him Nick and Tragic followed, Tragic kneeled in front of Kobolds while Nick charged into them and started cutting them with his sword. While they were hunting fuzzy shadowy figures started appearing from the ground and pouncing to kobolds, biting and scratching them.
“This was done nicely, but Tragic those ghosts of yours are truly useful, each kept kobolds quite occupied.” Said Nick as he cleaned his sword with a rag.
“Yeah, but isn’t their damage kind of low? I mean they killed one, maybe two kobolds and just bore the rest of them to death.” Complained Tragic.
“Hey you killed something at least, I just knocked them from the side to side, if someone has low lethality that should be me, do you know how hard I have to punch to actually kill something.” Said Mark.
“Guys, there’s a little bit of problem, check your level panel.” Said Ted.

“Oh, I see, this really might be a problem.” Mumbled Nick as he watched his own level panel.
“What’s the matter?” Said Max as he appeared in front of the group.
“Damn bro, can you give us some heads up if you are going to pop up like that, you scared me half way to death.” Cried out Ted.
“Oh sorry about that, this ability just feels so natural to me somehow.”
“That’s because you are a demon, all dimensions come naturally to you.” Said Lulu as she appeared on Max’s shoulder before she continued. “And you monkeys should form a party if you want to share the exp you get from monsters you kill, like this you will get only what you kill.” Said Lulu as she already knew what they were worried about.”
“Can you seriously summon yourself without me summoning you every time?” Asked confused Max.
“Of course, unlike rest of the guides I retained all of my memories and my consciousness, even in that dull spiritual world they created for guides, and I’m bored to death in there.”
“Okay, okay, just tell us how to form a party, I’m close to leveling up already and there are some of them that didn’t get a single exp point.”
“Just command your social panel, there you can add friends and chat with them over distance, you can even chat with them from your void dimension, and there you can form groups. It will also show you nearby players.”
“Great, you guys heard her, everyone add each other as friends then let’s form a party.” Commanded Nick as he opened his own social panel. A minute or two later everyone finished with their own social panels and finally formed a party. In the edge of their visions appeared their own bars with their party members below them.

“Great, it’s just like a game.” Exclaimed Ted.
“This is a game idiot.” Said Lulu while yawning.
“Come on Max, it’s fine if you insult me, we are bros, but why does she have to insult me as well?” Complained Ted.
“Don’t look at me, apparently even I can’t control her, so don’t expect me to do something.” Said Max as he shrugged his shoulders.
“Whose damn brother are you, none of you guys has any blood ties between them and you still call each other brothers.” Said Lulu.
“We have no blood ties at all, we are all orphans, we became friends when we were kids and we were never separated from then on, we grew up together and we are even closer than some blood brothers, so I don’t find anything strange with us calling ourselves brothers.” Explained Max.
“I see, interesting indeed.” Said Lulu with a chuckle and shortly afterwards she disappeared.
“Guys, there is something weird happening, I see two new names on social panel, there is someone near us, prepare for a fight.” Said Einstein while he was checking his social panel.

The Reaper's Legion
Earth: An advanced inhabitable world in the ideal colonizable range. Moderate temperatures and consistent weather patterns make this planet an incredible resource, along with a wealth of animals and wildlife beyond most worlds. Inhabited by the sentient species designated “Humans,” Earth would likely have joined the galactic community of its own accord. Levels of technology in local populace indicate a sharp trend towards interstellar travel, but still needs to make the last push to acquire reasonable interstellar technologies. Up until quite recently, Earth has not been a fully classified planet and was largely unknown. Due to biotic activity in the quadrant, however, attention has been drawn to Earth and many other possibly habitable planets in the regions, primarily for quarantine and control tactics. Matthew Todd was not a particularly unique human being before the meteors struck the earth. Average athletics, above average intelligence, but somewhat gifted in marksmanship, the post-apocalyptic earth has been a trial by fire for him and many others. Creatures that resemble bastardized wolves roam the land in packs numbering in the thousands. With entire cities decimated, those that remain are left with the harsh reality that they may be witnessing the end of humanity. And yet, there is a chance. Humanity knows they are not alone in the universe - the wolves are case enough for that - but what they do not know is that they are not alone in their plight. They are not without aid. Obelisks descend from the sky, giving the people a means to fight back. With tools ranging from guns to advanced mechanical apparatus and more bizarre tools, the people must cull the Biotics. Or, be consumed by the ever growing and mutating threat. Join Matthew in the fight to exterminate the Biotic threat, and to ensure the survival of human kind!

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.
