《How I Became A Jarl》All-seeing Eye pt. 3
Advertisement
All three of them came. They had knives, hammer, and bow. They came as promised to repay me for that beating in the tavern. It’s gonna be painful but I hope I can somehow use this to my advantage and escape.
[ Eric ]
“Hey, boys! Missed me?”
[ Man ]
“You bet. We have some unfinished business after all.”
When they entered the building I no longer could see them and the birds weren’t interested in that at all. I should bring some seeds or nuts with me next time to somehow attract them. One of them approached me and punched me in the stomach.
[ Man ]
“Oh wait. That’s not the spot where you hit me… It was there! RIGHT?!” He shouted as he hit me in the face with his knee.
[ Dian ]
“Eric?! What’s happening?”
[ Man ]
“Shut up kid if you don’t want to get beaten.”
[ Eric ]
“You call that a beating? I could beat you guys any time…”
Come on. Do something stupid, guys. Pick me up and free me for some dumb reason. Your some thugs without brains after all. While I was waiting for some kind of answer they stabbed my foot. It was so painful that I screamed without a second thought. To shut me up they punched me in the face again. I thought that I lost a tooth but luckily it was just a weird feeling.
[ Man ]
“Give me that hammer. Next will be your fingers.”
I was prepared to take a hit but there was nothing but silence. Something was sniffing me and when the bag was pulled away from my face I saw Skyge in front of me. He began licking my face.

“Master! Are you alright?”
[ Eric ]
“Thanks for saving me, Skyge.”
[ Skyge ]
“But I didn’t do anything.”
[ Eric ]
“Than who…”
Once Skyge moved away to free my hands I saw Stella standing by the blood pool and dead bodies of those thugs. They were impaled on spears. Once Stella dropped her hand down the spears disappeared. I could see something red shining on her shoulder.
[ Eric ]
“Don’t tell me… You’re a blessed person… Aren’t you Stella?”
[ Stella ]
“I am?”
[ Eric ]
“I guess you’re too young to understand. Do you know who blessed you? The god that speaks to you?”
[ Stella ]
“You mean papa and mama?”
Once I stood up I noticed that her left shoulder also had a shining tattoo. Is she blessed by two gods? Wait… Does that mean she is that special person I was looking for? Is that what you wanted Loki?
[ Loki ]
“So that’s who took her…” With those words, everything went dark and I was on a chair.
[ Eric ]
“So she is the one?”
[ Loki ]
“Yes… I was going to bless her but someone was faster and took her.”
[ Eric ]
“Were you going to use her for your amusement?”
[ Loki ]
“No. Compared to you she has potential and most likely will become a Valkyrie one day. With her, I could turn the scale of powers in the realm of gods to my advantage. For some reason two biggest opposites blessed her. Tyr, god of war, and Frigg who is known as one of the most peaceful goddesses.”
[ Eric ]
“You mean she was chosen by two gods?”
[ Loki ]
“I imagine that most of the gods wanted her…”
[ Eric ]
“If you want someone strong then give me that good power you promised…”
[ Loki ]
“Fine… Spin the wheel… There will be only legendary powers…” Said annoyed Loki.

Synergy
Dear Inspector, Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player. Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign? Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already. Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good. Sincerely,Randel, the Mad Painter What to expect from Synergy: --> Some GameLit elements are presented subversively. If you want the protagonist to “play the game” properly, this might not be the story for you.--> No filler chapters; the story's structure is already plotted out. It's going to have six story arcs.--> Character development happens slowly, over many chapters. Don't expect a perfect protagonist right off the bat.--> Some romance, but it will never be the main focus.--> Humor and dark elements in equal measure, but not to the extent that I’d label this story as “Comedy” or “Grimdark”. ... and lots and lots of Author's Notes. See you on the other side of the portal!

Advent of the Mindfire Mage: A Challenger's Return Story
Updates MWF, 6PM EST! Not so long ago, a story was posted on Webnovel, one that fired my imagination unlike almost anything before or since. It was known as The Challenger's Return: Rebirth of the Rainbow Mage. However, 150 chapters in, the author NightWind, who I'd personally interacted with and begun to consider a true friend, vanished from the internet without a trace. And so, I have acted upon my fervent desire to pick up his torch, to refuse to let his world that stirred such passion in me die. Read below about my own take on The Challenger's Return. Was Lheticus summoned to the Tower by chance, or by choice? Either way, with the new power he wins, he won't hesitate to burn anyone who seeks to keep him from his true love to cinders, and with a unique ability of the highest potential, he may just succeed, but he's just as likely to burn himself down. And as it turns out, the latter case may be woven into his very destiny...can that destiny be changed? And if it is, what will be the repercussions for the Tower? (You may want to read a fair amount of the original Challenger's Return before starting this, as, particularly in the early chapters, many things that are laid out in it are glossed over in this story.)

The rich, well, remain happily oblivious in the big American cities. In this world find a mysterious girl whose identity must be hidden or she would be hunted down and a young street actor who falls for her intrigue. Discover how they survive, born into a society not prepared to give them a chance.For them, the dystopia came without an apocalypse.
