《DevilDice: the special show》Part 1 = stressed dice
Advertisement
Dice was sitting in his changing room, tapping at his desk. He wasn't even paying paying attention to his reflection that was trying to cheer him up. He was taking a break at the moment and would have to go back to the show at any moment.
All of a sudden a burst of flames appeared in the corner or the room. With no surprise at all, Henchman was there floating just a few inches off of the ground with his tiny wings flapping viciously.
"uhhhh....hey king dice. The boss wants to talk with you."
"What?! But the shows about to restart I can't leave now!"
"I'm sorry king dice but the devil insists, he's in a bad mood."
King dice face palms and strokes his hand down his face with a frustrated groan. He stands up with a grudge and stands next to Henchman.
Within what seemed like seconds he was standing in front of the devils throne. Devil was trying to act all mysterious and had his chair turned away from Dice.
"What's up Boss?"
""
Dice turned his head in confusion and his moustache curled upwards.
"W-What're ya talkin' about Boss?"
Devil turned his chair around to face dice and and had his hand scratching his own temple.
""
Dice's moustache became crooked and his bowtie twirled around in surprise. Dice started sweating and fidgeting with his hands.
"O-Oh sir! That will be almost impossible- I mean I wouldn't have time to change the shows tactics on the spot!"
Devil face palmed himself and growled with frustration.
""
Devils entire body became engulfed in flames which only caused Dice to sweat more and caused him to cower under the devil who was now towering over him.
"Of course Boss! I'll have a new show tactic for you by this Monday!"

Devil immediately calmed down and the flames surrounding him faded away.
"Nice chattin' with you Bo-"
Without letting dice finish his sentence, Devil sent him back up to the over world where his show was just about to resume from the break.
With a sigh dice quickly adjusted his moustache and moved his head around because it turned at a angle when Devil teleported him. With one last adjustment of his suit and wiping his forehead with a handkerchief it was finally time for him to go back on stage and pick someone from the audience for the games and questions. With a swift movement he plastered a smug grin across his face and slid onto the stage with a microphone in hand.
"Hello ladies and gentlemen! Who is our next lucky contestant?!"
The whole crowd begins to cheer and chant followed by a few people trying to convince their friends to put their hand up. King Dice then spots his next volunteer, a young boy that went by the name of bowl boy!
(Y'all where expecting cup head weren't you 😂)
"You! You're the next contestant!"
The crowd cheered again as bowl boys face lit up and he skipped over to the stage and stood next to King Dice. King Dice was forcing a huge smile because he just wanted to take a break.
"Alright young man it's time for you to name this tune!"
A song starts playing and bowl boy starts rubbing his head while he thinks.
"Ive got it! Spoon on a chair by Doby Mick!"
"That. Is . CORRECT!!"
The crowd starts cheering and clapping again as King Dice tries to calm them down he thinks up a trivia question.
"Ok, boy, here is your trivia question!....
Where can you find Cala Maria?"

It took bowl boy a while but he eventually answered.
"The Inkwell isle lll!"
"COOOOORRECT!"
Again, the crowd began to cheer but this time they where chanting "roll the dice".
A pair or curtains moved aside to show two giant dices on a rod. With no hesitation bowl boy ran up to the dices and spun them with all of his strength. The audience began cheering again, waiting for the results.
**
The crowd begins to cheer extremely loudly, almost shaking the building.
"I guess that means you get to go to the mystery prize room!"
The crowd cheers for bowl boy as he walks into the room, waving to everyone and even blowing kisses as he goes inside. King Dice just wants to end the show and becomes impatient, so he slams the door on bowl boy as he's still blowing kisses to the crowd.
"Ok folks, that's the end of the show today, time for you to all GET OUT!"
King Dice's little card minions push everyone out as they notice how tired and impatient Dice is getting. Before everyone's even out King Dice had already headed back to his changing room. King Dice flops down on his chair, finally getting to relax makes the bags under his eyes really start showing. He's half asleep on his desk when he suddenly remembers the devils words, ''. Today was Saturday and King Dice had to work in the casino tomorrow, he had to have a new show tactic by Monday, but what?

Paths of the Chosen (Rewritten, Revised, and Reinvigorated)
Daniel Stewart was chosen to alpha test a brand new Immersive VR game, "The Realms". What he doesn't know is that he has also been Chosen by one of the Powers of a far-off world, and is now a pawn in a game much bigger than any he thought he would ever participate in. Will he survive and thrive in this strange new world, or will he stumble and fall, shattered by the ambitions of another? Does he have what it takes to walk the Paths of the Chosen?---Inspired by the Chaos Seeds novels, TheDespaxas's The Gamer, and a wide variety of games and books, although the world, characters, and systems are my own. Expect high fantasy, magic, combat and intrigue, love and loss, grief and passion. This story is intended for adult audiences and contains explicit sexual content, profanity, and violence (including sexual violence, although not by the protagonist and not as a focus of the story). Chapters with such content will be clearly marked, and all explicit sexual content will be behind spoiler tags. I prefer my stories to have happy endings, and especially in these uncertain times, I feel that it is important to maintain hope. While this tale will reach some dark places, I promise to you that, when all is said and done, the villains will be justly punished and the heroes will prevail and prosper. Remember: it is darkest before dawn, but dawn always comes. Please note also that although this story does not have the [Harem] tag, it does have an extremely slow build into a polyamorous relationship. Additionally, starting with Champion (book two of the series), the [Multiple Lead Characters], [Female Lead], and [Non-Human Lead] tags would also apply to varying degrees.This is a complete, ground-up rewrite of the original Paths of the Chosen, following feedback from here and elsewhere. It is now written in the third-person limited omniscient perspective and in the past tense. In addition, while the major plot beats are unchanged, most of what comes between them has been reconsidered and rewritten, with pacing and characterization as a special focus.---Update schedule: 2 chapters per week (Monday and Thursday), not counting bonus chapters. Chapter length is roughly 2,500 words on average, +/- 1,000 words. Chapters with explicit content tend to be longer so that they are still worth reading for those who would prefer a fade to black. --- Cover art by Agri Karuniawan (@artofagri).
