《Forbidden to the World》Wild
Advertisement
Kill and run out... that shouldn't be so hard. Levi has been doing this for as long as he could remember. With his stability, he could outrun a mob of armed men. Seriously, he's done it before. It was thanks to Kenny, though when he was gone, he'd teach himself so might as well consider that he could take most of the credit for his ability.
The two had finally made it to the bar, it seemed like a busy day. Levi walked in as Hanji followed besides him. "Look for a blonde lady with a fake lookin' diamond necklace, you know the rest." Levi explained as he head to the left side of the building. The brunet nodded and walked the opposite direction.
Whenever the two part and Hanji found the target before Levi, she'd make acquaintances with them, "accidentally" break the nearest object, and make a scene. Levi thought it was stupid, but it was accurate and surely easy to spot her, so he didn't have the right to complain. "Diamond Diamond Diamond~" Hanji sang, scanning each table.
Drunk man, no. Woman with brown hair, no. For what felt like 5 minutes of double checking, she decided to retreat back to Levi who seems to still be looking. She took the moment to observe the older. He seemed concentrated on finding this woman, but a side of her thought that he was also distracted by the pain he recently explained. Hanji began to feel upset for her friend but was snapped back to reality as she heard the bell ring. Looking at the entrance, she smirked. "Bingo"
"Why hello, welcome in!~" Hanji activated her role as she walked towards the woman with what seemed to be her date. "Thank you, there any seats available?" The woman observed the room packed. "Ah! We have a seat available right this way!" Hanji walked to the side Levi was at. As the couple followed, she realized that Levi was facing away from her. "Ugh..." she rolled her eyes.
As she passed by a table, she "tripped" and knocked over a glass. "What the hell? Watch where you're going, bitch!" The old drunky erupted, making Hanji "tear up".

"You t-tripped me!" As soon as Levi heard that obnoxious voice, he turned around and saw her on the ground, giving him sight of the target. "Tch..." He then walked over to the scene and grabbed Hanji back to her feet as he pushed her behind him. "Who the hell are you?" He growled, standing up. Obviously him being taller, he acted all intimidating, though Levi raised a brow with a "is this guy serious?" face.
He didn't have time for such a childish old man, so he turned his gaze to the confused lady, her date tapping her on the shoulder and whispering her something. Whatever he said must've wanted the middle aged blondy to leave. Levi decided it was best since there was too many witnesses. "Hanji." Levi left the group, making the oldy snort. "Coward!" The man laughed, making his group laugh along. Levi clenched onto the handle of his knife, but Hanji patted his back roughly. "Neeh neeh, forget about him." Hanji chuckled and opened the door for both of them.
Levi rolled his eyes and head for the alleyway. "There's gonna be a dead end once we cross this corner." Levi stomped ahead. "Go around and take care of the guy." And with that, Levi dashed down and parkour over the wall. Hanji didn't wanna waste anymore time again, so she ran down and made it out the alley.

The job had been successful. Levi sighed as he kicked the body off from Hanji, who was being strangled. Gasping for air, she chuckled lightly, "she's a handful"
Levi shook his head, "grab her necklace" Levi walked away, but stopped and looked behind him. "After this, we could stop by and see eyebrows" he turned back around after seeing a glimpse of joy from four eyes. "Omg yes!!!" She shot back up, gripping the necklace in the air while running after Levi.
"Then hurry up."

"Look Eren!" Armin pointed at a stray dog who was eating out from one of the garbage bins. The way the dog was eating sort of scared Eren, so he tugged on Armin's shirt. "Let's not get close..." Whispering, trying not to grab the animal.

Armin surely agreed, due to past experience. They stealthily walked around the distracted dog. They were close to the other end of the alley until Eren didn't watch where he was going, causing a glass shatter noise. Both tensed as the growl echoed. "Eren..." Armin began to shake, gripping on the shaky hand.
They both slowly began to back away, only making the animal to follow. Armin muttered something but Eren hear. "What?" Eren managed to speak through the lump in his throat. "I said r-run!!!" Armin turned around, yanking his hand to move with him. They were only a block away from Armin's father's job.
Eren thought it'd be a good idea to turn around, but all that caused him was a trip to the hard concert.
Armin reacted to his hand not intact with the other's. Turning around, he found Eren dragging himself with his elbow. Seemed like his knee was scrapped due to the red crimson blood oozing out. Eren locked eyes with the raging animal that was a few yards away, getting closer by the second. "Eren!" Armin ran up to the kid and put his arms under Eren's armpits, helping him up.
Eren was a bit bigger than him so it was hard for him to pick him up. "A-Armin, run! Get outta here!" Eren pushes the child away with his elbows. Armin only came back to attempt to pick the injured child. "I'm n-not leaving you h-here!" Armin was on the verge of crying. The thought of his only friend being eaten by some psychopathic creature would be the death of him.
"The bar is r-right there" Armin said through his gritted teeth, trying to drag the heavy kid. "It's getting closer, you need to go!" Eren managed to say without any stutter. The last thing he wants is his only friend getting hurt because of him. Armin ignored him and managed to gain a bit more strength to drag him faster. Eren wanted to break the eye contact with the dog, but he couldn't. He was too scared to even move. Was this it? The dog sure is getting closer. What would even happen once it gets close? Eren didn't want to find out but he felt as though it would have to come to that...
"D-Daddy!!!" Armin shouted as he leaned on the swinging doors, causing him to fall with Eren on top of him. The whole bar stared at the sudden presence of the children. Some smirked and was about to approach the two but was beat by a teen.
"Oi, eyebrows... get me another glass would y-" the raven cut his sentence as he brought his attention to the scene. Hanji ran towards the two with a worried expression. "Armin!" A blonde haired male knelt down to caress the crying child's cheek. "What happened? Who is this? Why are you h-"
"DOG!" Hanji screamed as she ran back to her other friend. A knife flew passed Armin and to the dog's head that had almost bit Eren's leg. Dropping dead, Levi sighed and walked over to snatch his knife back to his possession. "Tch..." Levi kicked the dog to its side with disgust. "Oi, go clean this shit up." Levi ordered to the other bartender who immediately complied. The raven had never been fond with animals, one being dogs. They were too loud and utterly out of his expectations.
Rolling his eyes, gripping his knife, he turned to the kids on the ground. He was about to yell at them for the sudden disturbance, he had a long day and just wanted to drink and relax with his friends, but all anger sunk down to his feet. Connecting his eyes with a shimmery green pair, it felt like it turned him into ice, along with time going slower. Levi dropped his knife in disbelief and stood on his ground, eyes still in contact with the other's.
"Holy fuck-"

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

Children with no idea where they are, what had happened to them, and what would be of their life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first story ever, and I hope you all like it, I'm sorry for the horrible piece of art that is the cover, I did it myself, and have absolutely no skills in photoshop, and I'll change it later.
