《Joker's Running Wild (Deltarune, Super Paper Mario, Kirby Super Star)》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Jevil met with Dimentio and Marx often. Sometimes they were together, sometimes they weren't. Marx tended to spend more time talking about where he came from, while Dimentio would talk about where they were going. It was weird...Marx seemed...homesick.
Dimentio was finally marking progress with Jevil, but it wasn't enough yet. Jevil could teleport short distances, but that was about it for now.
Dimentio and Marx had a meeting. It was frustrating. "He's starting to slip, but I can't seem to push him over the edge. I can't!" Dimentio held his head in frustration. "He has that potential, I know it!" Marx shrugged. "Maybe your card theory was wrong. He seems nice. Maybe he's just not made to be-" "NO, I'M NOT WRONG!"
Jevil was at home. He could teleport. That was a start. When he showed Seam, he was really proud. "Whoa, look at you go, Jevil! I didn't know you could do magic!" Jevil was clearly excited about his newfound power. "Yes! Now I can be a magician, just like you!!"
"Hey, buddy? I got something for you," Seam said, while Jevil was frantically teleporting around the room.
Seam handed Jevil a large pole with a blade on it. "I know you've been acting kinda strange, and...I don't know. I can't help but feel like it's my fault. I know I tend to dismiss your thoughts and ideas, but I want you to know that I love and appreciate you."
Jevil looked down at the item in his hands. Seam smiled. "It's a special weapon. One of a kind. I made it myself. I was thinking you could maybe use it as a prop in your performances and whatnot." Jevil smiled, then dropped it and hugged his friend. "I love you too, Seam. Don't ever forget it."

Jevil stepped back and picked up his new toy. He began to swing it around. "This is amazing! What do you call it?" Seam smiled. "I call it, 'Jevil's knife.' What do you think?" Jevil smiled. "I love it."
Okay, he had to try harder. Seam was his world. He had to get them out of there.
Dimentio and Marx were currently checking the progress of their home worlds. They planned to meet back up in about a day. They occasionally would go home and see how their worlds were being developed. Marx's had been around the longest, so it had been the most developed. Something told him to go back. That he was needed there, but Dimentio always assured him that he had better things to do, better places to be. His world would be fine without him.
Jevil was waiting, itching for his next lesson. He held his knife. Jevil's knife. What a cute name. Because it belonged to him.
He was getting impatient. Tapping his toes. A full day went on. Nothing.
"What if this is a test?" He asked. "Dimentio has been working on my teleporting....maybe he wants me to teleport to where we usually train. That place with the weird files."
Dimentio always snapped his fingers, but Jevil wasn't particularly good at snapping. He usually would just get a burst of energy and do it. What was it Dimentio said...."Just imagine where you want to go, and go there."
Jevil concentrated as hard as he could. He was going to do it. He had never teleported this far on his own before. But he was going to do it.
He was determined.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. He was in the files. He did it!
"Yes! I did it! Dimentio, I passed your test! Uee Hee Hee!"

Jevil looked around. To his surprise, Dimentio wasn't here. Or Marx, for that matter. Huh... how strange.
Jevil looked around. He wasn't sure if he could even get back on his own right now. He used up so much energy to get here. He looked down. In his hand, Jevil's Knife. He just now realized that he brought it with him. He then saw that the blade was pointing over at his game's file. "I wonder...."
Luigi ducked. "W-who are you, and what are you doing here??" He called out. The jester's head sprung off of it's body, attacked only by a spring. Luigi gasped.
That was unsettling.
"I'M HERE FOR MY FRIEND, FRIEND!" The jester teleported behind Luigi, causing him to jump.
"YOU WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO KNOW HIM, WOULD YOU?" Luigi quickly turned around and backed away.
"L-listen here. Whoever you are, you don't b-b-belong here. So get out before I...I...I call my brother!"
The jester just laughed, then teleported in front of Luigi again. He continued dancing. "JUST TELL MY WHERE MY FRIEND IS SO WE CAN PLAY, THEN I'LL BE ON MY WAY!" Luigi began to sweat. "I-I don't know who this 'friend is.' Just, please, leave Flipside in peace."
The jester circled around Luigi. That music, that loud loud music, kept echoing though his ears. "I'M JEVIL!" The jester beamed. Luigi held his hands up, blocking random flying spades from hitting his face. "Uhh, I'm Luigi." He muttered. Jevil stopped everything, and pointed his Devilsknife at Luigi.
"HE TOLD ME ABOUT YOU. YOU'RE THE MAN IN GREEN!"
Luigi stepped back. Everything was calm all the sudden. The music was still playing, but it was softer. "W-who? Who told you that?"
Jevil inched closer. The sharp blade nearing Luigi. "TELL ME, WHERE. IS. DIMENTIO."
Luigi froze. "D-d-d-Dimentio??" Jevil nodded. "YES! HE SAID THAT HE'D MAKE A PERFECT WORLD, SO HERE I AM!"
Luigi stepped back.
"Dimentio's dead."
Jevil stopped. He dropped his Devilsknife. It fell to the ground, metal clinking against the pavement.
He lowered his voice. "W-what?"

Fleabag
In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine seemingly like any other woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box.With knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine with every labored breath, it simply wished to live another day. Yet, in the bowels of a city built on metal corpses, nothing was ever simple. Of course, nobody said change would be simple, nor bloodless.And in the dark corners no one sees, in the shifting clouds of smog that none dare venture through, in the deepest reaches of the Dungeon that none but the mentally deranged dare challenge, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky. Are you tired of fun monster evolution stories where the monster becomes increasingly less monstrous, and eventually they're just a more spicy version of a human and it stops being a monster evolution story?Well, i am.So- insert thanos meme where he says "fine, i'll do it myself"[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.](The art in the book cover was made by an extremely talented artist named Chloe Bt, and she allowed me permission to use one of her renders as the main ingredient to my book cover, because she's fucking awesome.)
8 317Saga of the Soul Dungeon
When Caden dies in an accidental fall, he is merged with a dungeon core in another world. The problem with that? The dungeon core wasn't dead, and he has share mind-space with it. And that doesn't take into account mastering his new abilities well enough to escape from the powerful wizard that is, understandably, leery about allowing a dungeon to escape. Even after he manages to escape he needs to found and manage a dungeon. Of course the location he chose might have a few issues of its own. He is on the border of two human nations who are not particularly pleased to share. A sentient plant race claims the dungeon as sacred ground. And, amidst the chaos, teams of adventurers just want to make a living and figure out how to deal with the latest challenge. Just so readers know, Caden is not a murder-hobo. He is a genuinely nice person trying to make the best of his situation. If you want a main character that revels in killing people, this is not the book for you. This is a reworking, and continuation, of my original novel into first person. And it is going great! The writing is well past where my original novel got to. This work will never be dropped. Hiatuses may happen due to life, but I will never abandon this fiction. Currently 20+ chapters on Patreon
8 110Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.
