"A >!" one of the soldiers exclaimed. "Finally we have a >!"
Finally?
Ivan couldn't help but frowned. Did it mean they had been kidnapping people until they got someone with > job or whatever it was called? That would mean there were otherworlders beside them, or not anymore...? Or were their attempts to kidnap a group of otherworlders in vain, until now?
Whichever the case, Ivan didn't like both possibilities...
The more he thought about it, the worse he felt about these people. Disgusting goody-two-shoes who blindly justified anything they did in the name of justice and their so-called God.
He looked at Andre's broad shoulders and clicked his tongue. Despite the thunderous roar of the soldiers around, he found the fact disheartening.
Damn it. Why Andre of all people...
Now it was almost impossible to run away from this place. He had to revise his escape plan faster now...
Either due to extreme bad luck or simply coincidence, both the High Priestess and Ivan locked eyes. And true to his guts, the Priestess bitch gave him the most repulsive smile he'd ever seen.
O shi--!
"The hero over there, please come forward," the silver-haired bitch beckoned. Her sickeningly sweet smile made his stomach rippling violently he wanted to puke.
"Me?" he feigned dumb.
"Yes, you. Come closer, please. You are such a brave soul to be able to speak up. Not only for yourself, but also for the sake of your friend. Truly, such a wonderful thing to do in this hard time."
Ivan gulped nervously. What this bitch is thinking about?
"And so, please put your hand on the sacred orb. Surely a selfless person such as yourself is blessed by the Mashiach Himself."

Everyone saw sincerity in her tone, but Ivan only heard a snake hissing at him, ready to attack. The fake gesture made him question her motives more. He could attack her, but he wasn't so sure about the outcomes. This world had its own law in the form of level, something that Earth did not have, and his punch could mean nothing to her given the difference in power.
Why, he could hurt himself instead! A High Priestess like her must have a plethora of defense spells or some sort.
What is she planning... I can't figure it out...
Seeing no escape whatsoever, Ivan healf-heartedly put his hand on the orb. It shone with the same intensity as it had displayed to other otherworlders.
Ivan honestly was curious about his status. He was quite good at sports and would that be reflected? Would he had high AGI, END, or STR just like his buddy?
Finally, the long-awaited window appeared. Ivan looked up with a smile, but it disappeared as quick as the speed of which the window popped up.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
