《Strange world》Newness, January 2021 - Part 4

Strangely little difference now
from pre-corona post-bereavement life —
already isolate, pointless, dull and sad
dead inside just fits so well
in deadened dead-end world
2020 plans, hopes, dreams all dead
can't be revived for 2021
(or 2022)
there's no there there
no place to (safely) go
no one to (safely) see
There, there, now — can't truly say
it hurts to hurt a corpse . . .
in some ways, now
(in selfish, stupid, sappy ways)
dearth of loss (may be)
the worst thought of all?

Aspect of the Beast
This story is being rewritten! The new version, A Price in Memory, can be found here. I highly suggest you read the new version as this one won't be completed. Also, there has been a lot of changes so you won't be able to continue with the other where this one left off. A soldier dies on a battlefield, his body broken but his mind at peace. He died for the only thing he truly cared about, his family. In a different world a talented mage completes his life’s work, an entire rebuilding of one of the greatest ancient spells, resurrection. Bypassing the stringent requirements, he attempts to make this great magic accessible to the masses, and by doing so earn his place in history. But lost to the passage of time is the reason for these requirements. Not to unnecessarily complicate this great magic, but to ensure the transfer of only mortal souls. For there are things that dwell in the realm of the dead that should never be allowed to cross over.
8 161The Cultivation System
Even at the end of the world, Adam finds no compassion for his dull life. Once an asteroid strikes though, he's surprised with a reincarnation system that lets him cheat and accumulate power, all given by a mysterious and possibly not-so-benevolent god. Follow the story of a genius that other geniuses bow down to, of a genius that must compete against an entity known as the King of Gods, the Immortal Destroyer, and the Dragon Rider! Will he become the new supreme ruler or be tricked into a sinister plot?
8 120The Strangers
Brian Jeffries wakes up in a bed that is not his own, in a room dimly lit, surrounded by a large group of others just like him. This group of twenty-five finds themselves teleported to the land of Exandria, a world of swords and magic, of elves and orcs, of dungeons and dragons. A strange old man informs them that they are the newest members of the Adventurer's Guild, a group that takes contracts all around the world for gold and glory. For these normal humans the choice is simple: Serve or be executed. The captives are split into parties and sent out on their first jobs. Follow Brian and his newfound allies as they learn to become professional adventurers, complete contracts for the Guild, and maybe find a way home. To honor the source material's Dungeons and Dragons roots, I will be rolling dice throughout the development of this story. Everyone has a character sheet. From combat encounters to social interactions, everything that can be rolled will be rolled. See how a natural 1 can turn the tide of a battle, how a successful intimidation check can subvert a fight, or how deception can reveal critical info. No one is safe and anything can happen when you put your fate in your hands, take a chance, roll the dice. A Critical Role Fanfiction
