*Whoosh*
"GO! Let's see how you fare newbie!"
"Dammit! How the hell am i supposed to contend with that?"
*Boom!*
"Come on! A simple fire mage is enough to stop you? Hah! And you call yourself elite?"
"No! I don't! You do! And there is a fucking barrier of fire on the only entrance to that shitty cave! I can't see shit in the inside!"
"HAHAHA! If it was so easy we wouldn't have been summoned don't you think? Now get your ass off that rock and stop that mage!"
*Whoosh*
Think think think.
*Boom!*
"Shit!" That shit just sticks to everything! It is fucking magical napalm!
*Whoosh* *Boom!*
Wait! Of course! That's it!
*Whoosh* One, two, three,fou*Boom!*
"Still alive newbie? If you take much more time the vanguard will finish with the distraction and i don't think they will like what we are trying to do!"
"I'm on it!"
Five seconds between volley and four more to explode... Now!
I pick up a rock and get off cover and stand in the open, advancing like a fool.
"Hey! I'm heeere!" Aaaand...
*Whoosh* If this doesn't work that's gonna hurt...
*Swoosh* *Plop* *Boom!*
"Hyyyaaaaaagg!!!"
"Ha! That worked!"
"Damn, newbie! Didn't think you could pull that off. Alright guys, make sure that one's dead, shouldn't be too difficult after a direct hit from his own spell, those things are nasty and burn like mad."
"It's done, serge! Burned half'is head off, bashed the other half in."
"A'ight boys, contract's done so let's get the hell outta here."
"Well done newbie, but i have to say, not many have that accuracy throwing random objects like that rock, nor the timing to intercept the spell and send it back, on the other hand, why haven't you bought any weapon? I can't see that poncho being so expensive."

"To be honest i don't know how to use almost anything you have for sale, it's all medieval-like weapons and such, most advanced i've seen was a crossbow so..."
"Right, you probably come from a technologically advanced world. Well, you see, with a quasi-infinite number of realities there is not much that all of them have in common, souls is one thing, and the system is another, and that is basically all, if you bring something from one world to another, the most probable thing that can happen is that it can't even exist there and it just destabilizes reality, and even if it doesn't just explode in your face it sure as hell isn't going to work as intended, but you know what works everywhere, every time?"
"What?"
"Stabbing them in the eye, and bashing their heads in. That works, and we stick to that."
"Wait but, if we can't bring things from one reality to another, why can we bring these weapons? Hell, why can we go ourselves? We are not exactly from that reality."
"No, we aren't. But here, we are just souls given shape, and our own soul power keeps us stabilized, that's why we can recover from almost anything, why we don't need to sleep, or eat or get tired while we are here. And when we go somewhere we adopt a body according to local laws and our soul power is usually not enough to maintain us, so we sleep, eat, heal slower, etcetera..."
"That still doesn't explain how we bring our things, they don't have souls... do they?"
"No, but hell is not like the other realities, it was made to be a staging ground for hellspawn so every time we are summoned the summoner has to offer something to hell, diluted soul power, usually called mana, and objects, which are then turned into soulstuff that we can then use to build and craft things, and those things can be brought to other realities using our soul power and used there, but that only works for things that don't have to change, like a sword, or a poncho, we can't make explosives or acids because we can't know how they will react to wherever we go, the most we can do is make things that affect the souls of system races, but those things are costly, and usually one-time use, and need a shit ton of power to bring and keep stable so..."

"...So we keep to bashing heads?"
"You got it, newbie."

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).

HxH: Walking The Path Of Evolution
This is hunter x hunter fanfiction. The MC is born 88 years before the start of the story. Don't worry, he won’t be an old fart when the plot starts. The power will not be gifted. Only earned through hard work and thought out decisions. The MC tries to be rational and calm. Killing when necessary, not afraid of staining hands with blood. The law of the jungle is ever present in the new and mysterious world and only a fool would not adapt. Taking full advantage of opportunities given and carefully preparing for everything that is to come. The future is filled with trials and tribulations, all sorts of challenges and obstacles to overcome. Will he be able to reach his dreams and do what has never been done before? Is his conviction strong enough to withstand the pressure? To stay strong and move forward, to earn the power so desperately desired? To stay in control, even in the face of adversity? Yet some lines are not to be crossed. Without restraint, one achieves nothing. All the power in the universe is useless if you cannot control yourself to use it. “I am no hero. Just myself. Forever am and forever will be. Titles are but words and words are not actions. Why care about what others think? Why hold on to the values of the society I have yet to change. I will bring a new era. The era of truth.” — As of now, I only plan to post this on royalroad and have no plans to change that. Chapters will be --- Harsh critique is more than welcome. Any suggestion will be appreciated.
