《The Two Stories of Frontier Online: A Tale of A Boy and A Beast (Dropped)》Prologue: Meeting the Two Brothers
Advertisement
Shuu's POV:
"Jun wake up, wake up. Frontier Online starts soon, we don't want to miss it like we did at the Beta Testing." I exclaimed, bursting into my twin brother's bedroom. Jun grumbled and pulled the sheets over his head to block out the sound, but I grabbed the blankets and swiped them from the bed.
"No sleeping, come on, Its about to start, I wonder what the Beta Testers set up for us" I spoke with anticipation. Let me explain, The game Frontier Online was a game made from the players, by the players, for the players. It allowed anyone to do anything, If you wanted to build a kingdom, then you would gather loyal subjects, create NPCs, Create and support Towns and cities, Maybe even find a religion if you want. If you wanted to be a daring dungeon creator, you would buy the land, excavate and build the floors, and spawn in monsters as well as drops. But the things I wanted to do the most was create my own type of [Unique Monster]. In Frontier Online, you could choose between the [Kingdom]- The races of Human, Elf, Beastmen, Dwarves, etc, or choose to be a [Beast of the Wild] Basically any and every type of monster that was not supported by the kingdom, (Thieves, Thugs, Bandits, Rouge Beastmen, etc are classified as [Beasts of the Wild, as they do not follow the [Kingdom]. [Beasts of the Wild] allowed you to create your own Mob, even have named bosses for other players to fight. For a [Kingdom] Player, they had to fight these [Beasts of the Wild] for drops and gold that the beast had on them to gain fame, and money for better items. For [Beasts of the Wild] Players, they had to defeat a Player, reguardless of which Faction they chose, and take their items/drops, to convert into points to grow themselves. If the [Beasts of the Wild] Player defeated many adversaries then they have the chance to evolve themselves into a more dangerous beast.

(Short explanation: Beasts- defeat things to evolve/change into a better beast.)
Jun finally stirred in my monologue and he socked me right in the face.
"You talk way to much, let me get some sleep, It starts at 12:00 Noon, It's 9 in the morning, let me sleep for a couple more hours" Jun grumbled and turned over once more.
"I can't let you do that, we need to review over the strategy guides that a Beta Tester friend of ours gave us, how can we slack when we can learn where to go and what to do" I begged Jun with puppy dog eyes.
"Good grief, you think that trick is gonna work on me, You usually play around, but for once your serious, but I made up my mind, I will wake up later, so don't bother me" Jun growled and he proceeded to kick me from the room.
I was downtrodden by Jun's neglect at the game, but I knew he was just as hyped. I sat down and looked over the guides that our Beta Tester friend left us. Opening up the book titled [Guides of the Two Sides: An up-to-date guide to [Kingdom] and [Beasts of the Wild]], I flipped through the book to the second part of the guide.
I proceeded to read the rest of the guide, getting absorbed by their words.
Jun's POV:
That bastard Shuu, trying to make me wake up early, Even if Frontier Online was being released to the general public, I am still not the person who wakes up early in the mornings. I looked at the time which was nearing 11:15. I finally pushed myself out of bed and looked at the guide that [Pierno], the Beta Tester who put this together, got for me. "Hmm, everyone starts as a novice, and to learn skills they would have to either discover the knowledge themselves or find someone who knows of the knowledge in real life, what a load of crap this is, skills will be impossible to learn" I muttered angrily but then I thought, / If the Beta Testers have been there for a month already, then they should have set the baseline for skills that each basic class can learn, deviant/variant spells, skills, and classes can be found out as well./

I then gave a laugh, "Ha ha ah, Since its a Frontier, we all have to learn new things once in a while. Maybe I can create the ultimate Berserker class or skill. That would be nice, without a plan, then playing is meaning less." I said to myself and then the clock struck 12:00, I practically bolted to my Virtual Machine to hook myself in.
"Alright, Settings check, game check, Character creation, hmm, Command : Set Name to: [Gren], Command: Race: [Human], Command: Display [Kingdom Map]" I say in quick succession.
"Map of the [Kingdom] will now be displayed, Select which Kingdom you would like to go to: Coast Empire Seshalis, The Forest Tribes of Oakwood, the Kingdom of the Middle Plains, the Underground Villages." a female computer voice spoke to me.
"Command: Start Location: Kingdom of the Middle Plains"
"Starting location will be in the Kingdom of the Middle Plains, Select the starting village:
Janu- Surrounded by tall grass, Easy to get lost in the grass, sometimes refered to as, the village in the Wheat Labyrinth.
Ocypetes- Large farmlands, main trading complex, From time to time it is targeted by plunderers.
Higal- Despite being in the plains, Higal houses a forest that is very mysterious, Rumor has it that there are treasures deep in this forest."
"Command: Set Village: Higal" I commanded with excitement, Treasures, that could start me off pretty well" I smiled to myself and I got transported into the game.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Re:The Worst System Leveling Turned Me Into A Zombie
Before I reached Lvl. 100, they called me Death God Hei. But when I broke the limit, the System punished me. It cursed me to become this monster. I woke up as a Lvl. 0 again. Dying only brings me back to a save point now. But I don't go back until I die twice. First I suffer as a human, then I hunger as a zombie. The worst part is...I still have to watch when that thing takes over my corpse. I call it the Gray. I can't do anything even when it's hunting down those I'm trying to save. Sometimes, I wonder. When I level, I swear I can hear a voice speaking to me. This thing...can it think? It's like Re:zero crossed with SAO, Solo Leveling, and Tokyo Ghoul Re:The Worst System is a dark, 1st person timeloop story where the main character is slowly driven insane by his ability to respawn at a save point. However, each time he levels, there's a possibility that the next time he dies, the zombie inside him will become too powerful for anyone to stop. So he has to level up a harem...ahem, others, to fight for him against the System. Oftentimes, Hei will get trapped in repeating death loops which are truly terrifying. You've been warned...please don't read if you're not willing to see the darkness all the way through. The light on the other side may be a long ways away...I'll be trying to post on Thurs/Sundays, but honestly, depending on how I'm feeling, chapters could come out at some wonky times. If you want to support the story, read ahead, or bribe me to write more, I'd appreciate you checking out my Patreon, but this story will be updated frequently for free anyways.
