《Cheaters Always Win》Not a chapter; Excerpts + Chapter Delay
Advertisement
In the twisting alleys and shadowy corners of the magical, medieval city of Garbrandt, a gang known as the Slimebellers once held sway over a significant portion of the urban landscape. Clad in their signature green-and-black attire, the Slimebellers were notorious for their ruthless tactics and their unique, slime-based abilities. The Slimebellers operated a vast network of illicit activities, from smuggling magical contraband to orchestrating elaborate extortion rackets. They had their tendrils in nearly every aspect of the city's underworld, and many city officials and merchants found themselves under the gang's slimy thumb.
At the helm of this infamous gang was their enigmatic leader, a man known only as "Sludge." Sludge was a formidable figure, both feared and respected by his followers and enemies alike. His unique class granted him extraordinary slime-based powers, which he used to devastating effect in battles and to maintain his iron grip on the Slimebellers' territory. With the ability to secrete corrosive, adhesive, or even explosive slime, Sludge was a force to be reckoned with. He could alter the properties of his slime at will, making it an incredibly versatile weapon. Many an enemy had met their demise at the hands of Sludge, their bodies dissolved or immobilized in a viscous, green embrace.
However, the Slimebellers' reign of terror was not to last. A new and powerful gang, the East Star Clubs, rose to prominence in Garbrandt, fueled by their seemingly endless financial resources. The East Star Clubs quickly began to encroach on the Slimebellers' territory, buying out or intimidating the officials and merchants who once served as the Slimebellers' pawns. With their territory slipping away and their influence waning, the Slimebellers found themselves outmatched and outmaneuvered by the East Star Clubs. Despite Sludge's formidable powers and cunning strategies, the Slimebellers were eventually overtaken, their once-thriving empire reduced to a mere memory in the annals of Garbrandt's criminal underworld.

Purple Scales - A Reincarnation Story
Ssssssss...... A simple story of a man brought into a world of fantasy, magic, and systems by a crude God as some sort of a deal we may never know. Although.... he's a snake. Your typical honest-to-goodness brightly coloured danger noodle with venoms and all. To be precise, a magical snake with lots of growth potential. Follow the story of Randy, a pushover whose commands by God only being "survive, and grow big", on a journey to... well... survive and grow big, as he discovers what the world truly has to offer. Which is not much. Hopefully, not too much. A typical reincarnation story, really, but it might just satisfy your thirst for these kinds of stories. I'm just an amateur writer hobby-writing on my spare time, mostly for private consumption. This is also a practice on me developing gamelike-systems in literature. Will contain lots of swearing Any criticisms and feedback regarding storyline, language, and thematics are welcome. As this is a spare-time hobby, updates are not, will not, and will never be predictable. I will try my best, but don't get your hopes up. Inspired by a few other works on this site.
