《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-"

Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!

Silver Fox and the Western Hero
Author's Note. This is book 7! Please feel free to hop on and enjoy! If you find you like my writing style, I hope you'll check out the first 6 books, all available to read on Kindle Unlimited, link below!) Alex was dying, and all the millions his father had left him meant nothing. The life he had been so eager to embrace, to do the memory of his father proud, would soon come to an end. Cancer. That ugly, terrible word. He had tried to be strong for his mother, even when the treatments left him violently ill, his body wracked with pain, his friends and even his girlfriend leaving him almost as fast as his once impressive physique wasted to nothing under the ravages of his illness. And just when he thought all hope was dead, a couple discrete referals placed by high-powered friends of his family got him an exclusive spot at the most sophisticated cryonic facility in the world. He didn't know if there was such a thing as an afterlife, but part of the package included uploading a copy of his cortex into a digital universe filled countless worlds to explore, where he could embrace whatever class or profession he could dream of. All of which sounded hell of a lot better than the miserable death waiting for him in the real world. In the end, he signed the paperwork, putting his pathetic flickering life in the hands of potential quacks and charlatans. After all, with death just days away, what did he have to lose? Even if he could never be successfully revived, he could at least adventure his heart out. (Authors Note: Books 1-6 are now live on Amazon and here is a link if you wanted to check it out! And I will continue to post chapters to Book 6 here first, until that tale is told! I hope you enjoy! And if you wanted to help support my work by checking out book 1 on Amazon, I would be extremely grateful!)

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
