《Does Hell Have an Adventurers' Guild?》Epilogue
Advertisement
All the suffering and pain he had ever experienced returned into his memory, but at the same time there were moments of awe, triumph, friendship and affection. The positive and negative memories clashed against each other like two oceans of black and white and when their waters mixed together turning grey, he had a feeling that he heard a faint sound, a whistle that called to him.
"Yes." He said and felt the gravity of his decision.
Without another word, Sammael felt the reality around him crumbling apart and remembered when he felt a similar sensation. It was when the Divine Universe had been created for him.
With the same ease it was being deconstructed and in no time, he found himself in another reality and a different body.
"No, wait!" He held his breath when he remembered his body and the situation he was in. He stood on a street with a plastic bag in his hand, with a few items of daily necessity that he carried on his way home. He breathed in the smog into his lungs and felt a nostalgic feeling inside him, well the part of him that was Frei, the two of them were still to fight a bitter war inside his mind, but the unexpected change of environment startled them both, causing them to pause their struggle.
He pressed a button in front of him out of habit and waited until a green light appeared on the other side of the street. He waited in a daze for when he would be able to pass. When the green light lit up, he walked into the middle of the street and looked to the side like expecting something to happen, but nothing did except for a loud crying that suddenly came from the front where a kid seem to had fallen and lightly injured its knee.

He crouched reflexively to help the kid to its feet, as it could not stay here crying in the middle of the street, but when he did his head bumped into something.
"Ugh, sorry." He looked at the person whom he had collided with, probably a mother of the kid that also hurried to help her child and his eyes bulged like he was an overstuffed frog.
"Ni . .. impossible!" He could not speak any more, flabbergasted by the coincidence.
No, it was not a coincidence, it had to be his work. Was he toying with him again?
Sammael wanted to doubt the situation, but his doubts had been overpowered by the emotion of his other half.
"Sorry, he is a handful sometimes." She smiled at him in a familiar way and hurried to the other side, because the traffic light had already turned red.
"Like hell I will let it end like this!" A thought flashed in his mind and he turned around.
"Wait!" He shouted and ran through the cars that were slowly accelerating, forcing them to stop again when he made his way in a different direction. He ignored the angry shouts of the drivers and stood in front of the person that bore incredible resemblance to Nitarja, except that her tail and ears were nowhere to be found.
"Wait, he is too heavy, you will be unable carry him for much longer." He said and they smiled at each other and for the first time in a long time, he saw intelligence within those eyes that looked at him warmly.
He would kill for that smile and even if it was only another trick of the divine will, he vowed that it would be not enough to stop him.
"It never was and it never will." He whispered for himself and outstretched his arms, wordlessly offering to carry the child instead.
For the first time the whole of himself was able to agree. Sammael's thought of revolution stayed, but now it was not just about him and he felt his will had gained a different quality. The change might be for the better or worse, but he knew that he would never regret it.
A moment later, the three of them walked down the street.

Risen
Note: Slight edits to early chapters (and removal of one chapter - previously chapter 2) have been made 2/2/21 The city, my city, had once been alive in a way that was hard to describe. Thriving, active, hopeful. Vibrant. But life, as I had come to learn, sometimes possesses only the most tenuous of grasps. Finally, in the end, it became my city - mine alone. I was, after all, the only one left. Worse, it was entirely my fault. There was red in my ledger that could never be wiped clean. Not while I still lived, anyway. This story follows Eran, a man who became the opposite of everything he had ever wanted to be; in a world where superpowers began to appear in a rare few, his lack of control over his own power relegated him to the role of a terrible villain - the Reaper, named so for the countless lives that he absorbed and made his own, each only furthering his deadly lack of control. Gone mad with guilt and isolation, he strove for a single heroic act - his own demise. Death was less permanent than he hoped. Centuries later, he woke to a changed world and in a body not his own. Unfortunately, his power came with him. Yet this time, things would be different. This time, he had a chance to bring it under control. He could never truly make up for the things he had done; he could never achieve redemption. That wouldn't stop him from trying to be a hero.

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.
