'Rebirth Possible: Activate?'
Yes No
Yesssssss. Finally! Energy full, words changed, and one ticket out of bored-land complete. Now I just need to poke the words that are floating right over the. . .well, they used to be floating right over the center of my bubble. They seem to have teleported over to my herculean effort in design made of blood, sweat, tears, some hair, lots of sand. . .the works.
The fact that they are in the middle of my nicely drawn circle seems promising. If the symbolism didn't matter, I wouldn't have needed a spot to stand in the middle, would I? Which means all I need to do is walk over there and press the yes button all while making sure not to step in my sand drawings and smudge them. Smudging them can cost me up to a hundred or so energy and I really want to get out of here soon.
In fact, I would be walking over there right now if there weren't still words floating where the energy counter had been a minute ago. See, food is good, and I'm really quite hungry, but at this point I'm in a zen state with hunger. After the first day or so the hunger didn't increase that much, and I haven't been exhausted in the way starvation would usually cause. Having the time to really sit down and think about this whole new reality thing makes me think that these new words are probably the most important part of ending up here.

Yup, so this was supposed to be some sort of tutorial, I guess? Show the player that they are woefully under-prepared for the world they find themselves in, and then give them something to use in order to progress. The squirming ball of silver light hovering over the words is probably whatever the reward is going to be. The silver ball of light looks kind of like what a cat in a bag would look like, but without the recognizable paw shapes and no opening and way more legs than a cat would have. About the right size for a cat though.

Obviously my hunger can wait for whatever reward I'm getting. Hopefully a good reward for finishing this tutorial quickly instead of a bad one for dying early. There's a chance I can get a bonus for being the first to revive, but the skydiver might also have gotten here and respawned before me. Everyone is smart enough to figure this stuff out on their own, probably faster than I can with all the time people spent stuck playing games. The only edge I have is my brain's visual-processing center, and that isn't super easy to use without specialized machinery or extra-sensory powers like I always rushed to obtain in the VR games. Maybe the reward will be a third eye or something?

Whatever it is, the squirming stopped. Now the light is a perfect sphere, floating there a foot above eye level. Must have decided on something.

Huh. It hatched. The bottom shattered open and out popped a silver-toned. . .animal? Maybe a monkey? It has the right proportions, but no long tail. I would say that it's a goblin, but it doesn't have pointy ears and it isn't green. Maybe some sort of pet? If there was an explanation from the floating words, they dispersed when the creature fell through them. It's just laying there on the sand now, moving a little so it must be breathing, but it isn't getting up right away. Lets poke it and maybe it will turn over?

Fleshy. That's. . .an interesting feel. Not scales or fur or even plastic texture, but fleshy.

Po-
"Will you cut that out, asshole?"
. . .
"Huh?"
It can talk? Finally it rolled over, and it really does look like a tiny person missing a few features. Four finger and toes on each leg and hand. A mouth filled with pointy teeth. Rounded ears that are flat up against the head. A squished looking nose. No hair, nipples, genitalia, fingernails, toenails, eyebrows, or even eyes. At least none that are visible. I can feel it glaring up at me right now.

"What, you're just gonna gape at me?"
"Ummm. . ."
"Yeah, shut up. I just got created and I don't like you already."
"Then how can you-"
"No, but seriously, shut your mouth, giant-man."
"But you're just sho-"
"Not one more word."
"W-"
"Or I kick you in the nads."
. . .
Can he/she/it even reach this far up? I think its probably a he from the voice, but. . .
"So here's what's going to happen. You are a dumb giant-man who I, magnificent I, am stuck sharing this bubble with."
Which means that I really should just hit the resurrect button and leave, I guess? Maybe after my next death this guy will be more. . .friendly?
"By which I mean, on the off-chance I happen to die, which I won't, I might happen to run into you here. From what I saw of your brief stay in the land of the living, you at least will be here way too often."
Wait, he knows what happened before I died? So he was created with knowledge about me, which is probably how he can talk. . .
"As long as you leave my resurrection gate alone so I don't have to redraw one, I won't even go out of my way to remind you how much you suck."
Wait a minute, is he talking about my respawn circle?
"Anyway, toodles Mike."
"Wait a-"
Thunk
"Ooof."
"I said not one more word."
And then, after such a spectacular roundhouse kick, he walked over to my circle, hopped inside, then touched the yes button. A flash of silvery light, and then the asshole was gone. Above my painfully crafted circle a new phrase floated. Well, more like an old phrase.

Blood Ties: Lastborn of Akatosh (Elder Scrolls/ Skyrim / Naruto)
(Fan-made Readaptation of a Fanfiction)"Two men, twins separated as infants. Divided by an ocean, they grew up in very different worlds, but both became warriors of incredible skill and power. Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure. And Conrad Harissen, the Last Dragonborn. A close brush with death finds Conrad finally meeting his brother in the last place he would ever expect: the belly of the Shinigami, known to him as the Soul Cairn. There, Minato made a request to his long lost brother to find Minato's home and warn his people of their hidden enemies. But first, Conrad must journey to the unknown and forgotten continent. And Minato never said anything about a nephew..." =========================== I neither own the Naruto Series nor The Elder Scrolls series nor the Original Fanfiction, Blood Ties I also dont own the cover picture. I just found this on my old gallery about Dragonborns and I forgot where I got it. Credits to its Creative Owner. This is just a Fan-made Readaptation of Igornerd's Fanfiction titled: Blood Ties, a Naruto + Elder Scrolls Crossover. The story takes place during the very start of the Naruto Series and years after the Civil War in Skyrim.This is NOT a Self Insert fanfiction. This is NOT isekai also. There are NO "Stats System" BS here. This is purely written for fun and a wish fulfillment fanfiction to see or read a "WHAT IF" scenario where "Elder Scrolls meets Naruto" with a Powerful Dragonborn. Anyway, please dont hesitate to give me better recommendations on what to add to this series. This is a Fanfiction and I am more of a Reader than a Writer, so any suggestions that you wanted to add or fix on this series is highly welcomed. I apologize in advance if you see some mistakes in my grammar because I am not that fluent in English. So please dont hesitate to tell me your thoughts, corrections and constructive concerns.Again, credits to Igornerd for writing such great story.The Original Fanfiction were released here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10284884/1/Blood-Ties https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/blood-ties-naruto-skyrim-crossover.297546/ CHECK & SUPPORT IGORNERD'S SERIES!

8 146Prover
Humanity's biggest screen loader, the Program, has arrived. And with him its overworked employees. And magic. With enough effort, you can do anything. The world is not divided into the "magically talented" ones and the less lucky. No hidden bloodlines. Just sheer will. And thinking, because hitting the wall with your head can take you only so far. Nature of the world changes and so do people. New jobs, hierarchy and lifestyle. It's time to explore. It's time to give kids in school another bunch of compulsory subjects. It's time to add new government bills and taxes. But most importantly, it's time to face some thriling challenges. Lets have some fun. A note from Author: - this is not lit-rpg, you won´t find any blue screens or floating numbers - no harem - no OP mc - the Program may have some similarities with the System from other works, but will try to keep it at minimum - calm mc, sometimes calculating but not emotionless When you find grammar or other errors, please send me a message or write in comments, thank you. cover source: Pinterest

Unfortunately, the apocalypse trapped Ted in his apartment complex. Now, the former office worker has to fight his way out through hordes of ravenous neighbors, terrible monsters, and his landlady.
