《Getting a Common Game Ability on Normal Life [Revised]》Prologue
Advertisement
2 years after people gained abilities, when I was thirteen, my little sister got a gold bar from her [Daily Spin]. Oh boy, I remember the light that shone from my parent eyes when they saw the glittering gold bar.
Without further ado, my father immediately ran to the nearby jewelry store and traded the gold for 4.3 million yen. Later that night he bought us many presents and also took us to a fancy restaurant. Both my father and my mother wore their best clothes. My father with his grey trousers, uncuffed, with stripes on the leg seams, a plain, stiff-fronted shirt, and a black blazer. My mother with her flower pattern day dress. It felt like we were going to attend a wedding ceremony.
It was the first time I’d eaten so many weird kinds of food. I had an anxious feeling when I saw a big plate with a small amount of food at its center and a layer of forks and knives that had been organized neatly.
"Take it from outside," my father said calmly, even though his face clearly showed that he was also nervous. Classical music that I never heard, the chattering of people that wore the same kind of clothes as my father and even the waitresses moved their body elegantly.
Though, for me, everything that I tasted was bland. In my life I’d never seen this many people with a red dot shown on [Mini Map]. This ... [Mini Map] was a curse, even when I closed my eyes the [Mini map] was always there. Heck, even everything I saw inside my dreams had a [Mini Map] blocking it.
As for [Mini Map]’s usefulness, I read the [Tutorial]. It showed a white dot for a normal human, a golden dot for a human with an ability, a green dot for a monster, a red dot for someone that really, really had bad intentions, and a black dot for people that had killed others.

And not an ordinary murder, but people that murdered others purely for self-satisfaction, either for revenge, fun, or money. These kinds of people will be shown as a black dot in my [Mini Map]. Killing another black dotted person, killing for self-defense, or by accident won't turn a human into a black dot. Even though you can escape being judged by [Mini Map], you can't escape the laws for killing another human.
No ... sorry, I got carried away, let me continue my story.
Yadda yadda yadda, all the food that I ate was bland, I felt as if the inside of my stomach was tied in a knot. There were eleven people with red dots and three people with black dots. This was everything that got scanned on [Mini Map]. People that sat in the corner didn't get scanned. They were outside of [Mini Map]’s radius.
Though I was nervous, dinner ended without any kind of trouble. The five of us walked back to our home. Too bad my youngest sister Yuzu could not eat hard food yet, but I envied her for being too young to remember what was going to happen.
Pretty far from us stood one of my father colleagues, he was another person with an ability. A nice man he was, he always talked about this, that, and everything related to abilities. If I wasn't wrong, his ability was [Auto Mode]. This would automatically let him do his job, even though he fell asleep. Yeah, it was a high-level sleepwalking.
My father greeted him as usual, with his stubble beard and a stupid smile on his face. But when we got closer, precisely when he was inside [Mini Map]’s radius, a red dot was shown at his location.
He took something from his trench coat and pointed the gun toward my father. It was a black revolver with a brown handle, later I found out the type was a Smith and Wesson 29 Classic.

"...Eh?" This was my father’s last word. Fucking Eh! The next thing I knew, the red dot changed into a black dot, and my mother and my other sister, Ume, screamed and I was petrified because of fear.
I didn't know what my father’s colleague was thinking right now. He pointed the gun toward my mother, cocked it and fired it. Another loud sound echoed in my ear, blood and some meat splattered onto my clothes and face. Warm blood, freshly delivered from my mother’s head by my father’s colleague. Next, he pointed the gun at me. I surrendered to my fate, but he opened his mouth and said, "You! The little girl! Come with me and I'll let your siblings live!"
In confusion, none of us answered his demand. Tears filled my eyes, everything became blurry and from out of nowhere a young girl even shorter than me stood in front of us with six red balls on her belt and a blue and white colored uniform. She threw one of her red balls, a green dot appeared in [Mini Map] and I saw a dog with blue fur, a dark blue mane, and at the end of its tail, there was yellow star-shaped stone.
She pointed her index finger at my father’s colleague and yelled, "Spark!" A blue electric ball gathered around the blue dog’s mouth. Before the dog was able to do anything, my father’s colleague fired another bullet toward me. I closed my eyes when I heard the loud sound, but there was no pain. Slowly, I opened my eyes and saw the girl standing in front of me. My body already sat on the ground and more fresh red liquid covered my face. She crouched down while holding her right eye. After this, an electric ball fired from the blue dog’s mouth and hit him, and the smell of burnt meat pierced my nose. The girl turned around and said, " ... Big bro, wake up goddammit!!"
**
"Urgh" I woke up from my dream. Even though four years had passed, I still had that dream almost every night.
"Oi!! goddammit! get up and eat your noodles or it will be soggy!!" My sister, Ume, yelled at me.
" ... In a minute," I replied. [Status] was what I said following my words.
After I said that, a black screen with white letters appeared in front of my face.

I stood up, cleaned my body and walked to the dining room. Both of my sisters, Ume and Yuzu, already ate and were watching the TV right now.
[Once again, the government announces another recruitment for Guards and Adventurers ....]
I sat on the floor and ate my noodles when suddenly Ume talked to me.
"Isn't one of the government agents supposedly coming to your school today?"
"Hm? Yeah," I nodded and finished my cup noodles. "It doesn't matter though, there is no way they want to recruit someone with my kind of ability."

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)

P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT: Aeon Genesis
The first project focusing on four protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century Europe.This is the first P.A.R.A.D.O.X. PROJECT focusing on 3 (+1) protagonists within the same world set around fictional 14th-century-esque Europe. Each story has its own protagonists (Male or Female Lead), genres (mainly Western Fantasy), and can be read as a standalone. Status: OngoingUpdate(s) per week: 1Words per chapter: 3000 - 6000 *** ‘A human or not; a king or a servant; hope or despair; a hero or a villain.’ Depending on one's perspective and how each story portrays, one will view an individual or a group as evil or virtuous. Because of that, it depends on the reader and listener to believe which one is the truth. More people read and trust multiple (trusted?) sources that either complement or contradict one another. The contradiction becomes the source of debates between those who believe and those who don’t. From that difference in belief, two groups appear: The Majority and The Minority. The majority, having more people, suppress the minorities’ beliefs, claiming theirs, the majorities’, to be the truth. However, the majority are not only composed solely of those who share the same belief but also those who know the truth but afraid to admit it. They have to keep quiet and turn a blind eye for their safety. The majority had to submit to those with power and authority. With the majority under control, those with power and authority can create, manipulate, and/or fabricate truth and lies by force. The reason was for one’s or group’s personal benefits. In the end, there is no such thing as ‘absolute truth’; only sugar-coated lies created by the top. Don’t believe me? It is up to you to decide. Go and read it yourself.
