"Hey, dude, you still looking for some excitement?"
"Hm? Yeah, why?"
"Well, if you can handle being powerless and mortal, you could try to be a normal soul"
"That does sound like a good idea. But what bout my powers? They'll stick with me, I can't just get rid of them"
"Aren't you good with seals?"
"Oh yeah. Hey, you think the others would accept the idea?"
"Of course not, who will they fawn over if its not you"
"You'll follow me right? Cus Fate, Death, Destiny and the bunch would probably hunt me down the second they know I'm weak"
"Don't worry dude, I'm always there for you"
"I knew it was the right choice to pick you"
"Speaking of which, why the random people, you picked a flat, a medium, and two big jugs. What's with that? And why I'm the only male?"
"Well you know, diversity makes a fun experience, and you're the only male cus that's how I like it. Imagine, if there were more guys, they would flirt with the gals"
"Ha. And how do you know I won't hitch with them?"
"That's easy, I blackmailed Fate and the Love God. Besides, we all know you don't have the skillz and guts to do it"
"Ha.....wow."
"I know, I know, I'm a crazy guy, I get that a lot"
Since they were no more questions, I took a sip of the lemon tea in front of me. The taste was exquisite, as always. He also followed my lead.
"I've got another question"
"Look who's curious today"
"Its just that, you're weird. Really weird, I mean, not like disgusting weird, but peculiar weird."
"Okay, ask away"
"How did you defeat the Elders that came? I know for sure when I looked at them, you were many times weaker than them"

"Hmmm...."
Oh boy, this is a tough one. Lecturing time
"You see, we Elders all have our own defining powers and traits, you know that that guy who came, about a week ago? His title was The Judge. And he was a crazy arrogant prick. But based on his title, we could guess he has the power relating to balance and justice"
"So?"
"Wait, did I ever tell you of my title?"
"No"
"Is that so"
"Are you going to tell me?"
"Yeah, we've been meaning to ask you that someday, tell us"
Behind me, a feminine voice was heard. I see, they were always behind us, I think it was around the time I sipped my tea they came
"Well, gather around, this might be the greatest discovery you've made"
The girls went around me and put their elbows to support their heads on the table. Their eyes showed great curiosity. My my, I don't think table-san can handle their combined weight. Good, I've been wanting to torture him.
"You know, you are the first to know my true title. Most Gods and the Elders know me by my false one, The Mad God"
"So you're not mad?"
"Depends on the perspective"
Even you don't know my true title Narrator. Kept calling me Mad God. But don't worry, I'll tell you.
"Well? Aren't you going to tell us?"
"Haha. Okay okay. Its not like the end of the world is tomorrow."
Their face leaned closer, I can hear the table creaking already.
"My true title is...."

8 115That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Dwarf While Trapped in a Dungeon Full of Spiders
Thousands of years ago, mankind would honor their dead and their journey to the afterlife through the process of mummification. The elaborate tombs and burial rituals marked our transition from hunter-gatherers to civilizations and empires. However, it's been over 500 years since we've sent tributes to the underworld, and now the underworld, or whatever lies beyond, has decided to send something back. Authors Note- This story is inspired by DnD, Dark Souls, Guild Wars 1, and my love of eldritch horror and dark creepy dungeons. Also completed doesn't mean end of the line. There is more Mike Sammons in the future, promise.
8 80Earth's Hydra
Earth, the planet we live on. It is a fairly mundane place to some and they wish to escape, to trade in Earth for a wonderful land full of magic and monsters where adventure awaits for the ones thirsty enough for excitement to live in danger every second of their lives. As for others, it has the potential to become more, to become a planet that births a breed or species that will explore the stars and innovates technologies that can lead to the answers of the universe and maybe even start a race that is immortal. This immortal race will forever explore the stars and create new planet shaking inventions. Some just want to live their lives to the fullest and accept what they have already, enjoying the love of family and experience what is the “modern life”. There is one thing that everyone can agree on though, Earth is home. Our Home. We have always lived in the darkness, away from the prying eyes of more advanced or dangerous species that live in the outer reaches of the boundless void that is space. We did not know this though, as for our Mother, Earth, has protected us without our knowing until we have become intelligent enough, cultivated many advanced beings, and even have the ability and will to unite if put against the corner. Now, Earth has run out of energy and can no longer protect us, her children, and it is now our turn to protect her. To protect our Home. The protection of Earth has been put into the hands of Earth's Hydra, an 8 group organization that has enough battle power for 8 other planets! ******************** The cover picture is an editted version and here is the original, all credit goes to them. https://www.rgdd-darkdesigns.com/hydra.html
