[God of Games] 10 – Big Boss Kronk, Biggest Rat of them All

Big Boss Kronk was the biggest rat! He had grown to tower over all other rats, and he was smart! Yet, his God, who must have been the biggest rat of all, had seen fit to uplift his subordinates, who became big rats too! They were not even close to Big Boss Kronk's size, but they grew just like him! He forbade his lesser from choosing the same class as him, as he was the strongest rat! Though the strangest of his lesser was a Rat that called itself the Prophet, for it could supposedly hear his...

[Combine] 0002 – Moscow Awaits

"Sound off, everyone has their radios on?" I called out over the radio, getting garbled responses of confirmation.

"Good," I called out, "Keep your radios on and stay alert. If you spot anything, please report it. It's about time I brief you all on some of the dangers we'll likely encounter on our way to Moscow, as well as some of our objectives and the general history of this world and what we'll be expecting."

"To start with, this world had undergone a nuclear holocaust; most, i...

[Combine] 0001 – The End and New Beginnings

Title: The Combine Expands Across the Multiverse

Synopsis: John McClaine is a simple man, one who, after death, learned that his Earth, one of an infinite number, is apparently under the control of a 'Company' and, as he was now dead. His soul was automatically transferred to the Company via a contract with Earth's Gods; he was now contractually obliged to work for the Company, whether he w...

[Tainted Lands] 13 – Home Improvements

The sky remained red even in what amounted to the 'night,' where I noticed yet another change. The moon that hung in the sky? It was gone, replaced with two vicious-looking red moons that hung in the sky, one further in front of the other, making it look like the two moons were in the shape of a Venn Diagram. It bathed everything in a bloody red hue, and I could swear I could hear distant roars and screeching out in the forest, which put me on edge. Something was seriously wrong...

[Nevermore] 7 – Soldier of Godrick Defeated

It wasn't a dream.

It wasn't a dream.

It wasn't a dream.

It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a dream.

That sentence is what kept circling around Jaune's head as he continued walking towards Vale.

By tomorrow, Jaune would reach Vale, and from there, he planned on becoming a Hunter-in-training at Beacon. He just hoped the pass he paid for would get him through and into the exam. Jaune paid his entir...

[Avatar of the Force] 12 – Sudden Attack

After the angry Darth left me, I silently cursed at what awaited me. Sith Hounds, or Tuk'ata, are beasts of massive size, with three rows of teeth, six-inch long claws, three horns, and could move on all four of their legs or two, should the situation call for it. These beasts were infamous for being essentially guard dogs for many tombs throughout the valley and one of the more dangerous forms of wildlife across Korriban, with the Hounds cunning and strong enough to hunt down force-sensitive...

[Empire] 13 – Decisions to be made

It has only been a month since the arrival of the 'Zerg,' who hid upon their massive ship in orbit over the Earth. At this time, the world has fallen into chaos, as nations have risen and fallen overnight, and many nations faced rebellions, including the world's strongest nation, the United States of America.

The Zerg did not mean to cause these issues. Still, many humans blamed them all the same, including one nation by the name of 'North Korea', which, in its arrogance, launched their...

[Cafe] 127 – EXPLORE, EXPAND, EXPLOIT, and EXTERMINATE ALL XENOS

[Zerref's POV]

Despite the store not even being open for more than three months, Zerref has found that business has increased exponentially. More and more people learned about the store and set out to travel to it, which has led to Zerref needing to open two more entrances and expand the Cafe threefold, to house nearly two thousand computers, several new facilities, such as a bathhouse, spa, pool, classic arcade, and a clothes store. 

Not to mention, I found myself splitting ...

[Dwemeri] 5 – Escape Part 3

<> 5 <>

[Machavin's POV]

I felt vile for using the [Drain Knowledge] spell from Hermaeus Mora, but it gave me the answers I sought, and so much more. This planet, unlike Nirn, was named 'Earth.' Why the 'Humans' of this planet named it after dirt, I had no idea. But that was not the most important thing I had learned. 

These Humans were as industrious as my people and seemed to have advanced far more regarding technology than anything I could have ever dream...

[Last Hope] 18 – Gaining Power

Taking a sip of water from a bottle, I leaned back into my chair and looked upon my terminal with a slight smirk. It's been a week since Kellogg started working on the tasks I've given him. In that time, I have leveled up, putting my points directly into robotics, giving me even more knowledge to go off of to improve the Synths under Kellogg's command, as well as the information I needed to make some headway with the droid hidden in my room.

You see, I spent a few days working on constr...

[Dungeon of Stories] 50 – Bright’s Interlude

Chaos. The expedition Bright led into the ruined city turned into pure chaos, as surrounding the ‘Dome’ were dozens of [Corrupted Defense Units] patrolling the perimeter, and upon accidentally aggroing one such Defense Unit, a dozen strong attacked them. 

Luckily for Bright and the others, the robots ranged from level 50 to 100, with the largest round machine reaching level 150 and being an artificial boulder that flattened everything in its path. 

Unlike the Enforce...

[D-9341] 0004

When John's eyes slowly opened and adjusted to the harsh light above him, he quickly realized he was cuffed to a table and in some kind of interrogation cell. He had a mind-shattering headache and a feeling of discomfort as the cuffs and shackles on his ankles were tighter than they should be. Discomfort racked his entire body from what was probably hours of sitting in the chair, completely unconscious, with the harsh light above beaming into his eyes.

John did not know how long he had ...

[Encanto] 30 – Shock Value

Well, I may have gotten ahead of myself with my proclamation of getting the Jagged Crown to Jarl Balgruuf by the end of the week. 

Seeing as right after my statement, I was swarmed by a literal tide of townspeople, Guards, and noblemen and women. 

I was easily picked up, and they began to throw me around. Thankfully, my stomach was empty; otherwise, I would have likely thrown up.

How I get motion sickness from crowd surfing and not flying? I have no idea. 

[Merchant of Death] 0004

Cursing as the sounds of screeches only increased in volume, Jacob quickly realized that whoever had drawn the Feral Ghouls' attention was heading his way with what sounded like an entire horde on their tail.

Brighter than most, he didn’t immediately try to run away and potentially into whatever could have been drawn in by the noise; instead, he searched and looked for a maintenance room, stepped inside, and jammed the sliding door shut, leaving only the most minor crack from which he...

[Cafe] 126 – A Small Vacation Part 5

[A/N: Final part of this small arc, next arc will feature new games, gameplay, reactions, and slice of life chapters]

Fury, taking a deep breath, stepped into the containment chamber holding the last and most mysterious member of the mall shooting.

Briefly glancing at the man, who stood still as a statue in armor, Fury got the distinct impression and feeling that the man was looking at Fury like he was less than dirt. 

“You are agitated,” the giant stated without th...

[Dungeon of Stories] 49 – Uninvited Guest Part 2

Screams echoed across the city as a mercenary squad fled from dozens of charging ants that burrowed up from the ground or charged out of rubble and abandoned buildings.

Lasers and bullets riddled any ant in their way as they fled in the direction of the portal they had traveled to enter the city, in hopes of either getting back up or escaping before the ants completely surrounded them.

"Keep moving!" Colin shouted, the rifle in his hands feeling hot from overuse, and his hands gro...

[Nevermore] 6 – Soldier of Godrick

I won't deny that after I awoke in the cave, I found myself rocking back and forth for a few hours trying to calm down. Was it just a dream within a dream? No...

I couldn't deny it; it felt too real, and there was no possible way it could have been a dream, even a vivid one, and if it was not a dream...what was happening? If I died, would I end up here? What would happen now if I died here now? Would I appear back in Remnant whole and healthy? Or would I be on death's door...

[Avatar] 11 – Training or Torture? Both.

I sat within Darth Bane’s burial chamber, attempting to remain calm and still as multiple slabs of concrete floated around me, Darth Bane watching for even the slightest weakness to exploit. Every once in a while, he'd send a bolt of agonizing lightning my way, but I didn’t falter, already knowing what awaited me if I did so. Despite his...cruelty, what the experienced and notorious founder of the 'Rule of Two,' Darth Bane, knew what he was doing.

I'd only been with the Darth f...

[Dwemer] 4 – Escape Part 2

<> 4 <>

One by one, the three men and the dwemer slowly awoke in their new prison, surrounded by the strange monsters and the unknown humanoid in white, with the symbol 'S' emblazoned in gold on their chest.

"You...what do you want?! Quit staring! You're creeping me out!" Kid Flash shouted from his tube as he struggled against his constraints.

"Uh, KF? How about we not tick off the guy that can who can fry us with just a look?" Robin tried to calm Kid Flash down....

[Encanto] 29 – A…Party?

Stepping into the great hall of Dragonsreach, I almost immediately froze, as what seemed to be a full-blown feast had overtaken the hall, as men, women, children, and the elderly filled the entire great hall, sitting at tables as they ate food, drank, and made merry.

And when I stepped in, the entire hall went quiet as hundreds of eyes swiveled to look at me.

The man I recognized as Jarl Balgruuf rose from his seat, “Our blessed lady has awoken!” 

Shouts and cheers ...

[God of Games] 9 – Life of a Small Skaven and Murder Hobo

[Small Skaven's POV]

It had only been two days since the small rat had been blessed by the God of Games, yet in this time, it had skittered nonstop through the labyrinthine tunnel searching for food or bugs to eat. 

It has gained two levels in that time and has grown from a relatively small Skaven to one of average size. 

It was unyielding in its efforts as it hunted other Skaven or their lesser rat-kin, and it was all because of the words that lingered in the...

[Last Hope] 17 – Clearing out the Garbage in the Commonwealth

It had only been a few days since the Specter had contacted Kellogg, but in that time, Kellogg has realized just how intelligent the unknown person was, the upgrades they uploaded into the symths made them into a force that would only continue to grow from each battle as they learned from every mistake, every success, and some of the Synths had even begun employing tactics that Kellogg himself used, as if following by his example and adapting the strategies when suitable.

Not only that,...

[D-Class] 0003

[SCP 049’s Cell, Site ##]

(Lifeline #1)

Weeks began to pass by in the blink of an eye as the Doc spent every day teaching, demonstrating, and showing me so much more about the human body than I could have ever imagined. 

At the moment, the Doc and I were standing over an intact brain donated by an unlucky D-Class. The brain was hooked up to this strange machine that sent electric shocks to specific parts of the brain, and the Doc was teaching me what ...

[Cafe] 125 – A Small Vacation Part 4

Walking down the corridor after leaving the cell that housed Superman, Fury adjusted his posture as he neared the second closest 'guest' to the Shield HQ, a man whom Fury had not personally met, but was actively training one of his most experienced agents. A man wrapped in numerous bandages from head to toe, leaving but his eyes and the burned skin around them in view.

Joshua Graham, a man of God and a man of Violence.

He was a man from a world that dealt with the worst and best o...

[Dungeon of Stories] 48 – Uninvited Visitor Part 1

[Prometheus: I have a question to ask.]

[Grasping Roots: Ah, the flower has finally bloomed! Tell us, young one, what is it you wish to ask?]

[Necrotic Life: Speak.]

[Wandering Hunter: Reveal yourself! I shall hunt you down and feast on your essence!]

[Tainted Lands] 12 – Dangers About

As my Golems rushed me into the house, I was already struggling to keep my focus as I grew lightheaded from the blood loss. 

When they set me down, I knew it was already too late, I had lost too much blood, and I was growing weaker by the second. I couldn’t even clench my hand enough to grab the bandages the Golems brought me. 

Then it all faded to black, and pain flooded my mind.

[You have died!]

[Empire] 12 – First Contact Part 2

Approximately a week later, the Leviathan began its slow descent to Paris, giving humans plenty of time to gather and prepare for the Envoy’s landing, the name of the shell the Zerg Queen used to communicate with Humanity.

This time, the Envoy wasn’t the only thing to exit the Leviathan; the Envoy and four Brood Mothers landed by her side, having been delivered by other Leviathan tentacles. 

Humanity watched with abated breath as the five horrifying creatures stepped out ...

[D-Class] 0002

[D-Class Cell Block, Site ## of the SCP Foundation]

(Lifeline #1)

When they took me back to my cell, I found myself sitting before a rather annoyed Scientist and the Guard who had a hate boner for me.

The Scientist was looking at me rather peeved, if his expression was anything to go by.

"You understand that if you do not follow my orders, I will have you terminated, correct?" The Scientist tried to threaten, though I found it laughable and ended up gr...

[Merchant] 0003

Deciding to obtain the last few scraps he needed to make his third prototype, he armed himself with his small 9mm pistol and a decent kitchen knife he found a while back.

He was wearing a simple, ragged outfit you’d commonly find on the homeless outside of the strip, which was what he preferred as it drew less attention to himself.

Tucking the gun beneath his shirt and pants, he left the knife visible on his belt to show that he was willing to defend himself and that he would no...

[Merchant] 0002

[Approximately 63 Hours later]

Groaning, Jacob's eyes slowly opened, staring at the ceiling as every part of his body felt stiff and sore beyond belief. Yet, he felt his blood burn under his skin, making him feel far hotter than what he should have felt, almost rivaling that of a terrible fever.

He still had one more token he needed to use, but first, he had to focus on getting some water and food to eat.

Purified Water was a rarity in the wasteland; most bottles of Purified...
