《The New World Rising : How to Build a Dungeon Kingdom》Chapter 1 - The First Prey
Advertisement
The first thing I ever felt was hunger. I got up on my feet and started to prowl under the shadow of evergreen trees for food. My pursuit of finding something to eat luckily shortly resulted in success. I saw a hare in a small bush 50 meters in front of me. I did not have any skills yet, but my luck was immeasurable due to the full moon. Jumping on the bush without a second of hesitation, I caught the hare from its ears. I killed my first prey with an instinct of survival.

*10 Spirit Coins (SP) earned
The sentences crossed my mind as if announcements were made just because of my actions. I understood all of them except for the last one.
“10 Spirit Coins (SP) earned”
What did this mean? I tried to imagine the topology of whatever this “spirit coin” was. Just when my head started to ache a little, a list appeared before my big shiny eyes.

Flintstone. That was what I needed for the hare. I figured out that this was a purchasing system, but I did not know how to purchase that which I need to. Maybe if I imagined buying it… I decided to give it a shot.
A small flint stone appeared above the palm of my left hand. I grabbed it and sat on the first rock before me. I gathered some sticks from the ground and made a fire. I ripped the skin of the hare I caught with my bare hands and started to heat the meat.

*Title “Survivor” earned
*25 SP earned
I ate the hare with a great joy. It was not tasty but I did not care about its taste as I devoured the meat. Honestly, I was starving.
I wanted to use the skin of the hare but it was perished. I finished my food and got on my feet to find a place to spend the night. I was desperate to find a place to sleep safely. I found an open field enclosed with different types of trees and a river. I concluded that this would be a good place to settle.
It was darkening and sun was about to disappear from the sky very soon. I did not know of any creatures dwelling on the ground in this planet anew to him. I decided to climb up a tree and spend the night on a branch. I looked around and found a strong enough branch to spend my night on.

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
