《The Ritual of the Summoned Ones》Back home safe
Advertisement
The silence was deafening, the same thought pounding through his head.
'I killed a kid, I killed a kid, I killed a kid, I killed a kid'
".... I killed a kid....."
"No! Come one get it together it was a skeleton, they were already dead you just allowed them to be finally be put to rest, you put them out of their misery you did good".
"..... they're at peace, you did good........"
Hadrian goes back into the first bedroom and grabs a large bag he found in the wardrobe, walking back he starts to place the skeletal remains inside. He makes sure to carefully place every piece of bone he can find into the bag.
Walking back downstairs, he grabs a shovel off its place on the wall and heads to the back of the shop. He stops at the back door, looking out he finds out that attached to the back of the blacksmith is a small outdoor plot. The blacksmith and his family who lived here must have used it as a garden.
Checking again through the window in the door to make sure the garden is clear of any undead. Hadrian begins to walk out into the small patch of grass in the garden and with shovel in hand he starts to dig.
"Phew, I'm done", after a short while he finally completed the hole he had dug as a grave for the child’s skeleton, "It isn't much kid but it's better than leaving you up there". Hadrian places the bag of bones into the grave and starts to seal it back up with dirt.
"Well time to head back, I suppose", Hadrian exhausted both mentally and physically decides to head back instead of clearing the rest of the house, making sure to close up and secure any entrances and exits the best he can.

"Hopefully I can secure his place properly later and use it as an emergency safe house”
Hadrian began the journey back to the gate, making sure to take care to remember his exact route and keep an eye out for any undead on the way back, the walk back went smoothly with no undead in the way and nothing unusual happening.
"Well that was an experience", he made it back to the gate nothing unpleasant disturbing his travels, he arrived back quickly and safely.
"Hope these tutorials can help me make a bit more sense of what the hell is going on in this place", walking straight into the gate Hadrian is met with the same feeling of nothingness, of a darkness so deep that nothing could escape its grasp an unending void where space and time have no authority. Then as if only a second had passed he was standing back in the safe zone, his back facing the same gate that sent him on his first little adventure to the Dungeon.
"No place like home I suppose though I'll be glad when I don't have to call this place home ever again"
As he starts to walk to back the room he first woke up in and get some rest but before he could, text forces itself into his vision and a sound deafen his mind.

"Cool, that's great and all but I'm going to sleep today has been one hell of a day"
Making his way through the stone door, Hadrian see's a place he can rest he takes off his sword belt and puts his mace down. "Ahhhhh, god-damn it I forgot that fucking gauntlet", collapsing down upon the raised stone bed, he was finally ready for some rest. "Fuck it I’ll go pick it back up tomorrow"

Hadrian falls asleep instantly, the day bringing him to his absolute limit. Falling down into Morpheus's embrace, he was finally able to rest.
"AH.....hah, hah, hah, hah, ....fuck"
His rest was not long, nightmares haunting nearly every second of his dreams. Of his death, of nearly dying, of being ripped from his home and from the skeleton of that child, each tormenting him in different ways.
"God damn it"
Getting up he walked back into the main chamber of the safe zone, and sitting at the base of the fountain.

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.
8 176AARON: THE ARCHE

8 188The Kind Devil
Five veteran players of the old-fashioned but outdated VRMMO game, Orge's Bone, meet in the game for one last time before leaving forever. As real life friends, they were torn apart by certain matters, and now decided to say goodbye in the way they know best; a free for all battle royale. However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace. It will center a lot around how he'll change the perspectives of those around him, and how he tries to draft more cultivators to his cause, starting with the toughest nut to crack, the ruthless, bloodthirsty and easily-triggered Rector. Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.

Will Randy who was now known as Frederick Laywind, survive the harsh desolate plains ?
8 96The Whistle Of A Night Furys' Wings (HTTYD FAN FIC)
