《WALKER》EIGHTEEN

"Do you remember Larry?" Elliot asked Noah.
"Yeah, I heard he died during the third wave." Noah replied and I frowned.
"Oh." Noah said in realization and Elliot nodded.
"Uh hello not all of us share your telepathy." I said and Elliot chuckled.
"We should go check Larry's farm out." Noah said and Kieran, Mark and I nodded in realization.
"Then let's go." Kieran said and we jumped into Noah's truck before Noah started the engine and driving further South.
After a forty minute drive we turned left onto a dirt road. There were cows and sheep. I also noticed a well a mile away from the animals. A large white house came into view and I smiled excitedly.
"Let's hope it's empty." I said hopefully.
"Oh my gosh yes, it's giving Nanny McPhee vibes." Mark said and I laughed loudly.
"What the fuck is Nanny McPhee?" Kieran asked in confusion.
"Only the best movie ever to have been made. No cap." Mark said and I agreed.
"Gen Z." Elliot said tiredly before sharing a laugh with Noah and Kieran.
"That was a low blow." I said and Kieran just smiled at me in amusement.
We stopped in front of the house before getting out the truck. Then we held our guns up before spreading out.
"I'll check inside." Elliot said under his breath.
"I'll go check out the barn." Kieran said before walking away from us.
"I'll check out the water in the well and the fences." Noah said and I pouted before nodding slowly.
"I guess I'll keep watch." I said in annoyance.
"Hey bestie." Mark said before standing next to me. "So you and Kieran?" He asked and I frowned.

"Me and Kieran what?" I asked in confusion.
"You guys have to be dating." He said and I shook my head.
"No we were dating but it didn't work out." I said and Mark looked at me confused.
"Is it recent?" He asked and I shook my head.
"About two years ago." I said and he nodded.
"It's so hard to be a single gay male during the apocalypse." He said tiredly. "Like all of a sudden everyone is just straight." He said and I chuckled at him.
"No they're not, you just have to be patient." I said softly and Elliot came out of the house.
"It's clear." He said with a broad smile on his face and I jumped on him before he spun me around in the air.
"Obviously two of us has to stay here." He said and I frowned. Noah and Kieran joined us soon after.
"The water supply is good." Noah said happily and I smiled.
"Just one problem the barn is filled with walkers." Kieran said before running a hand over his face.
"Easy money." Noah said before laughing with Elliot.
"Don't tell me you're gonna kill them." Mark said in horror.
"You can't kill something that's already dead." Elliot said while looking into Mark's eyes. He scoffed before going back to having a conversation with Noah.
"So who's gonna stay?" Elliot asked.
"I can stay." Kieran said blankly.
"Ro?" Elliot asked.
"Ro?" Noah asked while frowning at Elliot.
"As tempting as that sounds. I have to go get my baby at home." I said and Elliot smiled at me.
"Mark?" Elliot asked and he frowned at Elliot.
"Oh my gosh my anxiety." Mark said nervously.

"You'll be fine." Noah said with a chuckle. "Plus this way you get to prove yourself." He added.
"So if we come back and Kie is dead, we'll know- we shouldn't have trusted you." Elliot said and Kieran looked at us in disbelief.
"That's perfect." Kieran said sarcastically and I laughed.
"Come on let's go home we said we'd be back by twelve." I said and Noah nodded before getting behind the steering wheel.
I hugged Kieran before getting in the truck. I waved at him and Mark before slumping into my seat.
"I really hope Mark's not a serial killer." I said tiredly.
"Says the girl who begged us to make him come with us." Noah said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"I didn't know we were gonna split up." I said under my breath.
"Kieran can handle a serial killer." Elliot said and I just shrugged.
"I would hope so." I said before closing my eyes and sighing tiredly. After a long drive we finally stopped in front our house.
"Home sweet-" Elliot stopped mid sentence so I looked to where he was looking. "Who's the old man?" He asked and my eyes widened.
"There was a man standing in front of the door. I took my gun out before climbing out of the car and walking up to him.
"Who are you?" I asked rudely.
"Do you live here?" The man asked carefully.
"Yes and you're trespassing." Elliot said from behind me while he held his gun up at the man.
"I'm here for my grand daughter." The man said before placing his hand on his chest and I frowned deeply.
"Your grand daughter?" Noah asked in confusion. "Who Xelia?" He continued and the man shook his head.
"Then who?" I asked.
"Faith." He said and I completely froze up.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Dungeons Are Bad Business

Once a prosperous and well-to-do city, Oar's Crest has fallen into depression and disrepair.

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Author's Note: Dungeons are Bad Business (DABB) is a slow burn slice-of-life dungeon core litRPG citybuilder that's focused on the day to day experience of running a dungeon. There will be some action, but it won't be the focus of the story and Vee and his friends will usually overcome their problems with their minds and their pocketbooks instead of their weapons. Since I'm participating in the writeathon, I will probably be uploading chapters almost daily for the duration of the event. Thanks for reading!
