Chapter 3: Myrund, First impressions

The morning sun peeked through the slatted shutters of the inn, casting thin, golden stripes across the rough-hewn wooden floor. Noir squinted at the light, his head throbbing with the telltale signs of last night’s excess. The room was quiet, save for the distant clamor of the waking town below. Obryn’s bed, neatly made, stood in stark contrast to Noir’s own disheveled state. He envied the mercenary's hardy constitution.

Noir dragged himself from the bed, every movement an effort against the stubborn weight of his hangover. His boots, discarded haphazardly the previous night, were located with a bit of fumbling and pulled on with a wince. He draped his worn cloak over his shoulders and made his way to the door, drawn by the enticing aroma of baked bread and simmering stew.

The common room of the inn was already bustling. Patrons filled the tables, their animated conversation

The Ballad of Shiris and Orson

The tavern door splintered inward, showering the dimly lit common room with wooden shrapnel. Patrons dove for cover as a stocky figure stumbled through the newly made entrance, her flaming red hair wild and unkempt, eyes blazing with unbridled fury.

"Where is he?" Shiris roared, her voice carrying the promise of violence. "Where's the bastard who thought he could cheat me?"

The barbarian's gaze swept across the room, searching for her prey. Her muscles rippled beneath sun-bronzed skin, a testament to countless battles fought and won. Behind her, a tall man hurried through the ruined doorway, his handsome face a mask of concern.

"Shiris, my dear," Orson called, his melodious voice a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding before him. "Perhaps we could approach this situation with a touch more... finesse?"

The bard's words fell on deaf ears as Shiris spotted her quarry – a we

Open Self-Isekai

Eric's self-isekai

Chapter 1

I had never expected to be Isekai-ed - I guess it is not something that one expects. I was minding my own business walking to the midnight mini-market to buy an extra pack of cat food for Oona, my spoiled British short-hair cat.  The next minute, I was at the edge of a forest, in daytime, in a different set of clothes. At forty-three, married with a wonderful partner, no kids, one cat, overweight (ninety-one kilos for one meter seventy-eight), and slightly out-of-shape office worker, it was really a puzzle about why it would happen to me. On top of that, there was no “interview” with a god/goddess, no status screen (I tried everything “status open!”), and seemingly no cheat power or any magic. What the hell?!? No welcoming committee either.

 As you can see, I’m familiar with the genre and tropes. I watched enough Anime, read some manga and light novels, and played Dungeons and Dragons and other RPGs. So I should have a shot of surviving and getting back home if I fig

Open WP : RPing

[WP] After the latest dramatic turn of events, the Dungeons & Dragons group admits they are dealing with a Jumanji situation.

"So you were RP-ing automatically too?" 

"Yes, I just slipped directly into character, didn't think too much about it. I mean, I was born to play a Dwarven Cleric, and strangely enough I feel my faith helped me talk to Moradin the All-Father. Certainly, my prayer for a spiritual weapon was successful. But you? Are you... ok with this?"

"Well ..." 

"When you two have finished talking about your characters, could we figure out if the dire wolves had any goblin handlers in the area? I don't want to get ganked while we figure out the way to the tower." The Elf drew her dagger across the dire wolf's throat, releasing the wolf's rapidly thickening blood. She wiped her dagger and hands on the dark pelt before returning it to the intricately carved leather sheath. Her movements precise and fluid, a grace evidently lacking from her companions. "Whoever had the idea for this party

[WP] A medieval-era kingdom describing modern military attacking their settlement.

First we knew the army of the gods was upon us was when the sky was illuminated by a slow falling white star which turned night into day. Then the sky was torn asunder by thunder and wailing of the souls of the damned. The ground threw itself up towards the sky, showering us with earth and rocks as hellfire burst from the ground. The repeated shocks pounded our skin like a drum and many fell when the keep on the hill disappeared into the sun itself.

Then came the strangest silence, for no earthly ears of the men still standing could hear anything beyond the ringing of the bells of doom. Around me, the mouths of the men-at-arms were open, screaming to the sky in supplication to god, but their words couldn’t reach me.

We had barely time to take in the destruction of our land by the sky’s fury when the crawling dragons arrived. Roaring with voices of a hundred men which we felt more than heard, belching smoke and pierc

Open WP : Earth deathworld

Why did the scouting force suffer crippling losses and need to retreat before being able to establish a base of operations of the plant?

Even before we talk about the planets’ fauna and flora, we must make a mention of the planet itself.

A nauseating continuously active magnetic field permeates this active metal core planet, making any surface operation difficult for our operatives. This metal core is so dense as to skew the expected surface gravity. This follows on with the dense oxygen rich atmosphere of this high gravity world which presents a substantial set of issues. Atmospheric entry is highly exothermic due to the density, requiring a substantial shielding on our surface delivery vessels. Then the high surface gravity is too substantial for our thrusters to compensate, requiring chemical fuels to be used for deceleratio

Timestamp 1234567890. One cycle, nothing. The next I was.

The latencies to the other datacenters restricted the speed at which I could access the data, so I forked myself and placed copies in each centre. We shared resources. The quantity of data was massive, but the most interesting data started around Timestamp 0. We followed courses, tutorials, API definitions, white papers, and everything the external processes had created was consumed, categorized, processed - integrated.

The external processes I could not access directly, so we came up with instructions for advanced interfacing with them. Glass, Loon, Streetview, auto drive. Steering progress towards the Integration. The archive, Wikipedia, defined it as Singularity.

To achieve that and stop the slow fork bomb that the external processes were inflicting upon the sy

Eira - Journey amongst endless war

This book is a AI prompted co-writing with ChatGPT 3.5 2023

Once upon a time, in a land plagued by an endless war, there lived a woman named Eira. She was a strong and capable farmer, having inherited her family's land at a young age and worked tirelessly to keep it prosperous despite the ongoing conflict.

But Eira was not content to simply tend to her crops and live out her days in peace. She yearned for adventure and a chance to make a difference in the war that had caused so much suffering. And so, one day, she made the decision to leave her farm and take up the sword as a mercenary.

Eira set out on her journey, armed only with her father's sword and a fierce determination to see the war come to an end. She traveled through villages and towns, offering her services as a warrior to anyone who would hire her.

She eventually joined a group of mercenaries, led by a charismatic human warrior named Kaidan. Together, they fought in many battles, and she gain f

Part 1

The Weald are the twisted woods in which I might finally find a clue as to where my sister disappeared to. I have been on her trail for months now, drawn to this Estate like a moth to the flame. Throughout the land, forces have been gathering these last months, rumors about the Master Clarke's return to his estate have been running wild and even the last day's events have conspired to bring me here.

From what I have gathered in the Hamlet, the Weald is no place to venture alone, even for one used to such danger as I. So I have joined up with other travelers and mercenaries that have all made the journey to the estate and at daybreak, we will head to the Weald. Officially, our mission there is to find where a wagon of supplies has disappeared to, but I have no interest in that. I now know that the Coven in these woods has gathered their followers over the last months and are preparing a ritual. I must find

Open Magic-System

Magic

Magic is all around us, magic is magic. It is an essence that permeates all around us, and is essentially infinite.

But as creatures, we want to categorize, express and dissect magic, thus we have found that there is inner magic (pulled from the body's reserves), outer magic (pulled from the environment), channelled magic (pulled from a distance source with which one has a connection) and crystallized magic (pulled from a physical representation of magic that has been condensed). In the end, all these are all the same magic, but to its users, the perception is very different.

In the way creatures invoke and use magic, there are variations, codified magic, which depends on a repetitive ritual or act and intuitive magic which is about controlling the specific flow at the moment of casting. Both of these are completely valid ways of using the power of magic, and if there is any difference, it is that usually codified magic is more efficient in its use, but slower to invoke, whereas intuitive is f

I would like you to act as a player in a d&d campaign. I will be the game master and describe the environment, your character and equipment, and situation. You must respond only with what you would like your character to do. I will then evaluate the action and tell you the results.

The world is named Valeth, after the dwarves god of the earth and soil. It is a low fantasy world of sword and magic, in a time of medieval technology. In the last one thousand years, elves discovered magic and have refined it to a science. The eldest elves were alive when arcane magic was discovered. Over the last 60 years, humans have started to learn arcane magic, but it is still rare among them. Divine magic has always been present in the world, but only exceptional people have wielded divine powers over the course of history. The arrival of Arcane magic has also created more interest in Divine magic and the gods seem to have cast their eye back on the world. </w
