 Classic Strategy

    So it has come to this has it? Well I knew it would eventually. I tried at least, right? Well, actually I¡¯ll have to admit I really didn¡¯t try, but I simply have found that life is no longer worth living, so I have decided that the world couldnt be allowed to take from me the last thing I still owned, so Ive decided to take my own life so that the world couldnt take that from me too, and although I know that making rushed decisions is not always the best idea, I decided to do it anyway. I looked down at the gun in my hand put it to my head and said ¡°goodbye bittersweet world¡± - and a brief moment of pain later everything turned black¡­


    <hr>


    ¡°Where am I?¡± I asked to the cold black void which surrounded me, I did not exspect to be conscious ever again.


    ¡°Hello ###### welcome to ''the world between world'' world I am God, or atleast a God¡±, a female voice said in a sarcastic sounding voice.


    Suddenly a table and two chairs appeared in a newly created wellspring of light in the black void. I sat down into one chair and on the other side she sat down with a big grin plastered to her face.


    ¡°Why am I here?¡± I asked.A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    ¡°To be reincarnated of course¡±, she said.


    ¡°With my memories?¡± I asked.


    ¡°Nope¡± she said.


    ¡°Then what¡¯s the point of reincarnation if you can¡¯t remember your previous life?¡± I asked.


    ¡°What do you mean?¡± she asked Frowning slightly.


    ¡°Well, if I can¡¯t remember anything lilke who or what I am, I won¡¯t exist you might as well make a whole new person¡± I answered. At first she looked perplexed and then understanding dawned on her.


    ¡°Well then, would you like to be reincarnated with your memories, if you could, as my Champion?¡± she asked smilling cheekily.


    ¡°What does being your Champion entail?¡± I asked, if it involved being 120% moral at all times then she could piss off.


    ¡°Well I havent been know to be the most moral god in the universe¡± she said.


    Well it can¡¯t do any harm, I think - less than zero in fact, the only other choice would be eternal slumbe so¡­


    ¡°I accept, preferably in a fantasy esque setting, you know from all the books?¡± I said hopefully, thinking the things that are happening to me - have to be from a pretty shitty fantasy story¡­or something like it.


    ¡°Great! Well let me introduce myself, I am Umbral the God of tyranny and the occultso all you have to do is to start a cult in my name¡±, said says a bit too cheerfully.


    Wait! A cult? As in talking to people and convincing them to join me? That wasnt what i was expecting at all!


    ¡°See you¡± she said with an evil grin, and then everything turned black a second time.

 So what do you wanna be?

    "Beep! Hello user number #3164578335: I will be your guide to REINCARNATION, so please choose your race"


    Motherfucker that was loud!


    I looked around the new void which sorrounded me, arghh, why does it always have to be dark? Oh well... Infront of me there where a huge and bulky human like creature, it was 2 meters 10 centimeters tall with dark grey skin and well chiseled muscles, red/pink eyes and a strong underbite, besides it there where a blue screen which read.

    <td>makes mucles grow much stronger and denser and faster than humans.</td>

    Well that was certainly a leaders choice.


    And then as if reading my mind, another figure popped up infront of me, this time it was a humanoid skeleton 1 meter 90 centimeter tall, with white bones and blue flames where its eyes should have been.

    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    This seemed like more of a lone warrior''s choice, but having no dick was a bit of a down side. You may look at me like a pervert, but hey, it''s on the top of a man''s list.


    Again, another figure popped up infront of me, another humanoid, with dark purple skin, silver hair and red eyes about 1 meter 60 centimeters tall.

    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    This seemed like more of a rouges choice, but being almost stapped in the back at all times seemed like a bit of a downside.


    The last figure was black and I don''t mean as in dark skinned, I mean it was as if the black void aroud me had taken shape and made a statue, it was 1 meter 87 cm as tall as I was before I died.

    "Let''s see, lets see I choose..."

 Magic Comes in Many Forms

    "Eldritch", it seemed mysterious and magical from what I knew about the term Eldritch, they should basicly Lovecraftian horrers.


    "Ok, now to magic. The eldritch are the only race in the UNIVERSEthat can have 3 magics. The downside is that you have to choose the race magic calledEldritch Magic,but other than that, you can choose 2 other magics - calculating avalible magics".


    And then all of a sudden 7 small blue screens popped up infront of me.


    <table style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto">


    <tbody>


    <tr>


    <td>


    Eldritch


    </td>


    </tr>


    <tr>


    <td>The Eldritch are strange and so is their magic. Sorry, not allowed to really say much more than that. It''s mostly unknown, but I would say your guess about Lovecraftian horrers are partly right.</td>


    </tr>


    </tbody>


    </table>


    "Hey! Are you reading my mind?" I said, looking around at the black void, but no answer came.


    <table>

    <td>                                     Dark</td>

    <tr>


    <td>Dark magic also known as blackmagic. is used quite a lot for ritual magic, but can also be used for defensive spells and somtimes even torture, but most use of it defensively is to inflict somtimes permanent negative effects on enemies. it is therefore seen as an "evil" magic by most races and cultures.</td>

    Spirit Magic is that of asking spirits for favors that will later be repayed. Twilight magic is that of bending spirits to your will, it has a lot to do with voodo, illusions, and offensive spells. When you bend spirits to your will they change and become something else, as and exsample an Earth Spirit will turn into a Rot Spirit which can be used on enemies to slowly rot their organs from the inside. it is so rare that most races and cultures know very little about it, so they have a negetive/neutral relasionship toward users of this magic.This story originates from Royal Road.

    The equal amount of defence and offence is nice and all, but to me it seemed a bit boring.

    Spatial Magic is, as you probably guessed, about space or more appropriatly about teleportation. It''s used for mostly short ranged teleportation and spatial storage, but it can be used for much more than that. Like any magic, it can be used in countless ways, but that is up to you to decide. Spatial Magic is a rare magic to have, and is highly sought after.

    That''s cool and pretty useful as a utility.


    "Ok, let me see, I choose..."


    "Wait, before you choose let me inform you that there are generally only two ways of using magic. The first way is that of the Magician. They have preprepared spells which they weave using their different magics. The second way is that of the Sorcerer. They mostly wing it, make spells up as they go along. Basicly, they weave spells on the spot. Some people use a middle ground, but those are generally looked down on by both sides."


    "Thanks for the information, anyway I choose..."

 Just another day?

    "All your choices have been made. When you wake up, think ''status'', and your status screen will open, and you will get a once in a lifetime opportunity to see what your stats do" ...... it says in its highstrung but monotone voice, maybe a bit of sadness mixed in?


    "Thanks" that seemed like useful information. Wait, did it mean when you wake up?


    And then for a third time, everything turned black.


    <hr>


    Bang .... a nearby barrel explodes in a firery mess of burnt wood and ashes.


    "Hey Inderall, stop that, we''re on patrol in a lower area of the city, it''s more dangerous down here", Geoff said in a quiet, but harsh tone.


    "Then woudn''t the Rats be as scared of magic, as the normal rats are" I say silently, hoping he forgets about it.


    "Listen up Indrell, any assasin would be more than happy to kill a mage for the reputation, if they has the chance. So don''t go around showing off. No matter how bored you are" Geoff said with sympathy in his eyes.


    Urgh, my last source of entartainment lost so easily; well it was all my father''s fault, trying to teach me some "temperment" and "patience", like I need any more of that. I am the model of a patient man, or at least a patien Noble; but us Nobles are the only type of person, who can truly be seen as human.


    <hr>


    Idiot, that one. At least he hasnt been shooting fireballs at the commen folk. He doesn''t understand, that in the "slums", there are threats all around. It wasn''t truly a slum, but it was the third district, right between the common''s district and the thief''s district, as they were separatly called atleast unoffically. But then again, he is a Noble and must be bored from walking up and down the same four streets all night long. Maybe I should take him to an inn, and get us both a drink afterwards, to show him the good side of being a part of the city watch.


    "Ahhhrg"This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    What was that? I heard a loud wail from nearby, and quickly signaled the Indrell to follow. Running through the empty streets I knew so well, as I reached my destination I saw woman was lying in the streets, a basket clutched to her chest. Over her stood two cloaked men, one had his right hand missing and was screaming as thick black goo oozed out of the stump. As we approached, theyturned to look at us and then slowly started advancing towards us.


    I drew my saber, and Inderell put his hands together, pulled them apart, puts one hand up and then glides the first around the other. I felt a slight tingeling around me, and I knew I was protected by magic. I quickly slashed one of the robbers across the throat, and he died gurgeling on his own blood. I turned towards the other man, only to see a smooking pile of ash and burnt flesh.


    I noded towards Indrell to acknowledge his deed, but he was in the midst of vometing on the ground. I ran towards the fallen woman, only to find her already dead. I lifted up the basket she was holding in her hand, only to see a small baby with its eyes closed lying in it. The baby had a small pile of smelly black shit underneath it.


    "What do we do with that?" Indrell asked, still looking a bit green.


    "We follow protocol 216 ''if you see an abandoned baby, drop it off at the district adoption center''. Since this district has no adoption center, we go one district up and drophim off there." I say focusing on the word ''him'', while quickly covering him up.


    Indrell noded slightly in agreement as we hurried off to the 4th district adoption center.


    As we knocked on the door it slowly opened, and revealed an old woman, standing in the doorway.


    "What ya'' want?" She looks annoyed for being disturbed in the middle of the night; properly doing late night shift.


    "We''re here to deliver an abandoned baby", I say.


    "Ooh a baby, let me see". She suddenly looks happy again


    I hand her the basket and stands back, as she said ''uhh'' and ''ahh'' and ''isn''t he a beautiful baby'' while swaing it gently back and forth. When she''s done, she asked "What''s his name"


    "Well, his name is..." I said, thinking hard.


    "Bedgar" Indrell cut in. I looked at him with a thankful look, and I say "Yes, his name is Bedgar"


    "What a beautiful name. I will take good care of him, and thank you for delivering him". She smiles at me.


    I turn towards Indrell, smiling, and said "I call that the end of this night''s watch. Lets go and get a beer". He didnt look alltougether happy with the prospect of getting a beer with a commoner.

 What A Legendary Screw

    "What the hell! Where am I?! What in the hell!" I said looking around a small and sparsly furnished wooden room. Only a door, a bed, and a small bedside wardrobe stood out. "Mirror, mirror, mirror, I need a mirror" I looked around the room.


    Next to the door I spotted a samll wooden bucket filled with water,I looked into it and saw a young looking boy with black hair withflecks of gold, anddark purple eyes.


    Pretty fitting for the eldritch look but I had guessed something more I dont know horrific and alien?. I guess I would say that im pretty handsome.But with my level of self esteem that properly meant that I was the most handsome guy in the universe or something like that.


    Suddenly my head felt like it was about to explode, as I merged and remembered the last 6 years of his life.


    Wow.He, Iwhere quite the charmer, spinning the caretakers around his, no, my little finger.


    Shit! How was I supposed to live up to this sandard i couldnt even socialise all that well in my previos life.What am I supposed to do with this!


    I was pretty damn tall for my age, about 1 meter 30, from what I could recall the caretakers were frightened by this unnatural occurance, I was also deemed more intelligent than the average 6 year old, but everybody said that, that was beacuse I had a strong magical potential to become a Magician or Sorcerer.


    "Bedgar are you awake?" A voice suddenly came from the other side of the door. The door slowly opened to reveal a young woman, I would say about 20 years old. Her name was Barbra, if I recalled correctly.


    "Why are you not dressed yet? This is an important day, you know", she said stenly.


    From what I could remembered about today, a magician from the high streets was coming by to see if anybody had an incling of magical potential.


    Thinking about it, I propperly didn''t have any magical potential, or at least as far as they knew! the Eldritch magic would maybe make it look like I didn''t have any magic. Oh! That reminded me to to check my status.


    "I''ll be there in 2 ticks" I said (Ticks = aproximately 2.5 minutes)


    Shenodded andquietly left the room.


    I thoughtStatus and a lot of blue screens pop up infront of me at once.

    "Well, I hope you remembered all that. See you never!". the voice said. I looked over the screens, while I put on my clothes.


    The woman named Barbra stood outside my door waiting impatienly, when I walked out of the room into a long narrow wooden corridor connecting all the rooms.


    "You are already late, so you better hurry up now remember its not everyday you get the oppertunity to be adobted by someone as high up as a magister so you better be on your best behavior you hear me!", Barbra said, as we randown the corridor towards the dinning hall which was apparenly at the far side opposite to my room.


    As we entered the dining hall I saw an older portly looking man in a deep orange robe with a green pattern of some kind imbroidered into it, sitting in a chair on a raised platform at the end of the dinning room and speaking, infront of him sat seemingly the entireaty of the rest of the orphanage looking up at him entranced as he spoke. As soon as we entered the dinning room he looked over at over at us and as he smiled said "finally...

 Im Back In Black! Maybe.

    After a two year break im back baby! right now Im currently going through all the chapters making it more understandeble and editing out the mistakes (and there where alot) and then im going to release a chapter either tormorrow or next weekend.


    So thats that.


    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Royalroad says you have to write 500 charecters to release a chapter so maybe they should add an update function to their service since people do it all the time.
