Spirit Game
In the expansive expanse of existence, there exist realms concealed from the awareness of ordinary folk. Rain Weathers, an unremarkable teenager with average looks, physique, and grades, was leading an uneventful life. However, everything took a dramatic turn one fateful day when he found himself plunged into a vivid dream, a dream that unveiled a world beyond imagination — a world teeming with spirits, monsters, and conversing frogs. This was the Spirit Realm. Transformed into a player by the mysterious machinations of the universe, Rain, alongside other chosen individuals, found themselves thrust into a perilous world. They were tasked with navigating their newfound domain, establishing their territories, all while fending off relentless onslaughts from beasts, defending their territories from other races, and making sure to stay alive for another day. NOTE! NO system. NO cheats. NO overpowered MC. NO tragic past or sob story. NO harem. This is more on Kingdom Building, and War. Just an average boy with no special skills who, through hardship and dedication, transforms from a nobody to a conqueror. If this story interests you, give it a try.
#4 and the Hidden Tunnel
One of Kaelen's geomantic fissures, which had swallowed a horde of Shadowborne, created a chasm just wide enough for the little chick to tumble into.
The sudden drop caused him to roll uncontrollably, his tiny body bouncing off the walls of the fissure until he landed, dazed but unhurt, at the bottom. Above him, the battle raged on, but down here, he was momentarily shielded from the worst of the chaos.
As he shook off the disorientation, the chick noticed something — a narrow tunnel that branched off from the fissure, likely an ancient, forgotten burrow created by some desert creature long ago.
The tunnel was small, barely wide enough for the little chick to squeeze through, but that very narrowness made it perfect for him. The Shadowborne, with their hulking forms and relentless aggression, would never think to search such a tiny passageway, and even if they did, they would not fit.
