I woke up, Ouroboros sleeping on my lap quietly.
“Aaaa~ That wassss a pretty good nap”
I said, as I got out of bed, shocking Ouroboros awake.
“Hisss!!!”
“Sssshit! Ouroborosss, it’sss alright! Only me”
I said, surprised.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed calmly.
“Okay good, now… want to go hunting?”
I asked.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed back, happily.
“Let ussss go! On a journey! Ha ha!”
I laughed as I grabbed my shortsword and club, then left the camp to go hunting.

‘Ooh, what’s this?’
I thought excitedly, as I saw a horned wolf walking around arrogantly, acting like it owned the forest.
“Ouroborossss, let’ssss teach thisss arrogant horned wolf a lesssson”
I whispered, as I prepared my club.
“Hisssss”
Ouroboros hissed back.
“Attack!”
I shouted, as I hit the horned wolf on its horn using my club.
“Hissss!”
Ouroboros hissed as it bit the horned wolf, causing it to roll around in agony.
“That’s so cool!”
I shouted, as I watched it slowly burn from the inside.
“Hisssss”
Ouroboros replied, proudly.
“Alright, let’s hunt some more!”
I shouted excitedly, as I readied my short sword and club.
“Hissss!”
Ouroboros replied, happily.
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
We killed: Ten Rabbits, Four wolves, and a Goblin. Until we returned to the camp.
“I need to ssssit down for a bit. Aaaah~”
I yawned, as I sat on a log to look at the forest around me.
‘Damn, this place is fucking huge… it feels like I’m just stuck in the middle of this place… And that there’s no way out’
I thought, depressingly, as I stood up and started to cook dinner for myself and Ouroboros.
Then, the screens popped up.

“Holy ssshit, 11 more killssss, and I get the ssssecret… misssssion, done… cool…”
I said, happily.
“Wait… Ouroborosss you evolved! Good job!”
I cheered.
“Hissss”
Ouroboros hissed proudly as it slithered on my leg, tying itself to it.
“Alright then… [Ssstatus]”
I said, ignoring the large snake twisting itself around my leg.

“Holy ssshit, I’m incredibly closssse to levelling up too!”
I shouted excitedly.
“Alright then, Ssssysstem, lottery!”
I said, excitedly.

A lot of cool things appeared, but what I ended up with was… a “Goblin Hunter”
“What'sss thissss!?”
I asked, holding a card with a picture of a goblin holding a spear on it.
That’s a “Summoning Card” which allows you to summon the being on it once, permanently. Until its or your death.
The system answered instantly.
“Alright then… but, what do the ssstarsss on it mean?”
I asked, since there was one star filled in black out of six blank ones on it.
The stars signify the rarity of the card, it goes from: Trash > Common > Uncommon > Rare > Epic and Legendary.
The system stated.
“Sssso, I have a trassssh card? What’s it even useful for!?”
I asked.

A distraction.
The System replied instantly.
“Fuck off!”
I replied angrily.
“Hisss!”
Ouroboros, sensing my anger, hissed at everything around us.
“It’s alright Ouroborosss, it’s just sssomething sscrewing with me… you don’t have to get angry”
I said, petting Ouroboros as best as I could.
“You know what Ouroborosss? I’m beat, let’s go to ssssleep now”
I said.
“Hisss?”
Ouroboros hiss with confusion.
“Yes, I know that it’s only… like… Ssssystem, what time isss it?”
I asked.
3:49 PM
“Yessss, I know that it’s only 3:49 PM, but remember… we ssslept really late lassst night… ssso, we need sssome sssleep now”
I said.
“Hissss?”
Ouroboros hissed back in a somber tone.
“Enough back-chat, let’sss go!”
I ordered, so Ouroboros followed me to bed.
Where we slept for a few hours, until we were ambushed!

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
