A World of My Own Making

Harper was making an ambitiously expansive game, a new type of game with more options than the basic hack-and-slash, where exploration and cleverness were a legitimate course of action, not an extra-hard mode. But he died before he could complete his project. Only to be reborn in that world, as a normal person. Now he is in the world that he created and realizes that he knows things no one else knows, secrets only he knows. Harper sets off to find some of these secrets, wanting to make sure that he has the power to ensure that his world remains pure, that no one will have the power to ruin it like other games. And if the only way to do that is for him to get himself enough magic and mystical artifacts that he can determine the future of the world, then so be it. It wouldn’t be conquest if it was for a good cause. Right? A World of My Own Making is created by Joe Weinberg, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 44: How to Surprise a God

Monitor closes her claw and settles down, her eyes boring into me. She blinks slowly and takes a deep breath. “Yes,” she says, drawing the syllable out with a deeply syllabant S. “If you can present me with something new, something I did not consider, I will most definitely reward you. But engaging in this battle brings with it great danger. Because if you cannot surprise me if you lose, then there will be a penalty. A severe one.”

“How severe?” I ask.

“How much of a reward do you want?” she asks me. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You said yourself that you want there to be more ways to do battle than actual violence. So we are engaged in a battle of wits, are we not? A battle brings risk.”

“But not equal risk,” I say. “Because no treasure you offer would be equal to my death, which seems to be what you are threatening.”
