《The Beginning of the Age of Heroes》Chapter 4
Advertisement
When they got to where they could see the camp, they all stopped, and Oliver then gave his orders. "Barry, you will go in and rescue the girl, Thea, Yeo Fei, and I will give you cover. Sara and Laurel will use their powers to clear a path for you as well. Kara, I need you to go and find a map of this island, I am sure they have one in what looks like the tent with all the electronics in it over there." Oliver said and everyone went to do what their job was.
Sara and Laurel went in first. Sara used her mind control to get all of the men to go back to their tents. Laurel could use mind control as well and she told them that there was something happening on the other side of the island and that they needed to go and help. The men that were on the other side of the camp were taken down by Oliver, Thea, and Yeo Fei. This gave Barry the time that he needed to get in and save the daughter of Yeo Fei. Kara went into the tent with all the electronics and was able to find a map that would help them getting around from day to day.
As they made it back to the cave that they had been stay in, they couldn't help but be pleased at how well they did on their first outing. Of course things would get better because none of them really knew how to fight right now and once they got that down they would probably be just about unstoppable.
"That went better than I thought it would. Of course, they were week minded so that made it easy for me to do what I had to do." Sara said.

"Yeah, it was pretty easy for me too." Laurel said.
"So, who are you people anyways?" Shado asked.
"We were shipwrecked here, and your dad is now teaching us archery and how to fight." Oliver said.
"Nice to meet you all and thanks for helping to save me. My name is Shado." Shado said.
"I am Oliver, this is my girlfriend Laurel, this is her sister Sara, those are my sisters Thea and Kara, and that is Barry. It is nice to meet you as well." Oliver said.
"Well, I am willing to help with teaching you as well. I know everything that my father does." Shado said.
"Thank you. We can use all the help that we can get." Laurel said.
"I got this map of the island. Is there any certain place that we should go next?" Kara asked.
"I know of a man that is on the island that was sent here to save me. I know where he is located. The map will help us all get there. He will be able to help you learn to fight as well." Yeo Fei said.
"Ok, so we will start to make our way to that position then." Oliver said.
"We will go after night fall. It will be harder for those men to see us if we go then." Shado said.
"Ok, so we should probably get some rest now, while we can since we are going to be moving at night." Barry said.
"Yeah, that makes since. So, let's get as much sleep as we can now." Oliver said.
Shado walked up to Oliver and said, "So, I guess you are the leader of this group. Are you open to new members?"
"We will take as many as we can. If what we have been told is really coming, we will need all the help we can get." Oliver said.

"Well, you seem to be well in control of things here and it seems that all of your friends trust you with their lives." Shado said.
"I guess they do. I never really thought of myself as much of a leader, then I found out what I am supposed to be in the future, so I am just trying to embrace that." Oliver said.
"Well just follow your gut and everything will be ok. Don't second guess yourself. That will only lead to trouble." Shado said
Laurel walked over and asked, "Should I be worried here?"
"You know you have nothing to worry about with me. I only have eyes for one woman." Oliver said.
"No. I was just asking him if I could join your team when we make it off of the island." Shado said.
"I wouldn't see where that would be a problem. I think we will need a lot of help." Laurel said.
"So, you are Sara's sister?" Shado asked.
"Yes, I am." Laurel said.
"Is she dating anyone?" Shado asked.
"Not that I know of. She is a little wild. So, there is a possibility that she is." Laurel said.
"I think she is pretty. Do you know if she is into girls?" Shado asked.
"She is into both boys and girls. She has been known to have both at the same time sometimes." Laurel said.
"Well, I might try to talk to her later." Shado said.
"Might as well. Everyone else here is in a couple so why not you and Sara. We can't count Thea because she is only twelve." Laurel said.
"How did she come to be with all of you on your ship anyways?" Shado asked.
"She snuck on and we were too far out to sea to turn around once we found her. I now wish we had turned around though." Oliver said.
"I think we all do Ollie, because that means that we would be in our homes and not on this island for who knows how long." Laurel said.
"I know everything looks bad right now and it is all probably going to get worse, but we will all become better people for this experience, especially Thea and me. I mean you have to admit, we are both very spoiled. I am surprised that Kara didn't turn out like us as well, as much as mom spoiled her when she was first adopted." Oliver said.
"She was old enough when she came to live with you that she knew better." Laurel said.
"I guess you are right. Now let's get some rest so we will be ready to go and find this other guy when the sun goes down." Oliver said and the two girls nodded, and they all went to sleep for a little while.

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.

Earth Ascension - Fantasy Adventure LitRPG
It’s a normal day on Earth when a powerful being triggers the assimilation of Earth and all living beings into the Ascended Universe, a frightening wall of light envelops the planet in order to drag it into a higher plane of reality. A place where abundant mana allows powerful magic and monsters to reside. The protagonist Dante wakes up in a dark cave with vague memories of his past life. He is confronted by a crazy, enigmatic and powerful being who sees Dante as his chance to escape his prison. Tasked with a grand trial, Dante is dropped on a planet he no longer recognises and starts his perilous journey through the Ascended universe. In this universe resides an omnipotent system that quantifies everyone's existence into numbers, it also assists people in becoming more powerful. Join the main protagonist as he is pitted against powerful monsters, Angelic beings, Demons and much more. He makes friends and loyal companions along the way, unfortunately, he also attracts the attention of powerful galaxy-spanning organisations that want to use his power for their own nefarious purposes. Forewarning regarding the start of the story. This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. The first few chapters of the book focus mostly on characters experiences and state of mind. The protagonist doesn't start off as a hero, he's distressed, confused, scared and struggling for survival. LitRPG elements are sprinkled throughout these chapters but aren't initially at the forefront of the story. If you're willing to persevere, the LitRPG elements and significant progression become more heavily intertwined with the story as they become more relevant. Thank you. *** What to expect *** This is a Fantasy Adventure LitRPG. There’s gore, swearing, bad jokes and lots of struggling. (I like to make the character earn his power.)Book 1: Covers the characters' experiences in becoming accustomed to this new reality. There are chapters that focus on survival and hardship. He starts with literally nothing, gradually he accumulates incredible power. He achieves his power through completing various trials and encounters in his journey to find out who he is, and what he wants in this world. There’s a focus on the mental state of the protagonist and an alternating pace of writing to allow character development to occur. The planned second book will kick off at a much faster pace with more action, focus on the system, and delving into the purposes of the Grand trial assigned to the main protagonist.I aim to deliver a world with Interesting characters, Monsters, Magic, Epic battles, Levelling, System interaction, Skill creation, Trials (Quests), Dungeons, Training and more. *** Release ****Chapters will be around 2000-3000+ words long, averaging 2.5k. I’ve almost finished the first book and am trying to edit and polish the chapters that are being released.I aim to release 3-5 chapters a week.Please enjoy.
