《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 Exodus Project
This is the original version of Origin before I rewrote it. It's much more simpler, some names and personalities are a little different. THere's nowhere near as much back story or character development/interaction. But the story is essentially at the end of book one. I wrote this 15 odd years ago, and with a bit of polish it doesn't look too bad. The story like Origin is about a group of college students who find a ship that is the last remnant of an ancient human space faring civilisation, they fix her up and go back into space. Along they way they'll meet alot of aliens, religious fundamentalists and conmen.
