My friend who moved to the city told me this story: "A married couple lived in our town. They didn't have any children. At first they lived well, but then Nicholas took to the bottle. Nancy was trying to do her best to eradicate her husband's addiction to alcohol.
She scolded and begged him, left him and lived with her mother for a couple of days. She even tried to put him into rehab but nothing worked. Nicholas hit rock bottom, but Nancy had nowhere to go. After 35 years of marriage, she felt sorry for him even though he looked pathetic. Nancy was afraid that he would start a fire in the house and burn them.
One night her husband woke up, but didn't start walking around the house, as he usually did, but woke up his wife instead. He was completely sober. Nancy shook the sleep off, turned on the light, and asked:
- What happened, why did you wake me up?
To what Nicholas replied:
- Nancy, I will die today.
Nancy grinned, thinking that her husband was trying to ask for money to get some booze. But when she saw his eyes, she asked him in a trembling voice:
- Why did you, Nicholas, decide to die today?
- They came to get me - said Nicholas.
There were tears in his eyes.
Nancy went to get a glass of water and handed it to her husband. He drank it and continued to talk.
- Alex Wright and Peter Talan visited me. I was the one who carried their coffins to the cemetery! They told me not to drink today, to shave and have a bath, because I'm gonna die, Nancy.
And his eyes filled with tears again. His wife looked at him and believed that everything was the way her husband described. Her husband never cried. He screamed, swore, yelled songs but never cried. Nancy hugged him:

- Don't cry, Nicky, we all will get there, you and I are in our 70s, it's natural. If we only knew if there is life in the other world, you know? What do you think?
- I don't know - said the husband after thinking for some time, - no one has ever told us about it. If I die today, then there is the afterlife, because somebody came from there to call me, right?

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed the World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past-self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

Each nation is represented along with the guilds which span the world.The guilds have an invested interest in keeping the peace due to how they work across the borders.

A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy. World leaders don't tend to survive very long if they don't have guards with them at all times. While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you. A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.
