Edge Cases

Silver Linings

D30/100
In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything — dictating strength, skills, and power, and spawning dungeons filled with monsters. But every system has its limits, and it is about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs. There is Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in an existential crisis; Misa, a tanklike half-orc who loves exploiting the system but misses her family; Vex, an anxious lizardkin wizard who has run away from his; and Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. When a simple quest goes off the rails and a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them appears, they discover that something is deeply wrong with the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning. The world itself is falling apart. Their only hope is trust, shared secrets, and perhaps a bit of healthy communication.

Tale of an Ordinary Cultivator

Sweating Cloud

D29/100
An ordinary cultivator — that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. And he didn't think badly of it. Some people were destined to become stars in the skies; some were born to be rocks on the ground. Both were necessary to maintain balance. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest — careful, meticulous, understanding everything fully before acting, knowing his limits, dreaming only of freedom. But one day he realized something seemed amiss. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances.
