Chapter 12
Edward accepted the mission happily even if it was a slap in the face by the System .
After all, after poking around the System to familiarize himself with it, he learned that completing quests earned more experience and rewards than hunting for beasts .
Still, while they had received quests such as ‘daily quest: hunt ten rodents’ or ‘weekly quest: collect thirty boar tusks’, that was the first time they received such a side quest .
After the group had ascertained the contents of the mission, they quickly sneaked toward the direction where the fighting was .
Soon, they reached the battle, hiding behind a lush shrub to peek at the situation .
The battle was occurring in a spacious clearing in the forest, the center of which were several carriages . Edward at once recognize that those were caravans of traveling merchants—there were some who had occasionally passed through Kennington Village, where it would become as busy as a festive season every occasion they did so . However, the village was too poor and the villagers did not have much savings, and the traveling merchants eventually stopped visiting them due to the lack of profits .
Goblins, standing over a meter tall were surrounding them in a tight pack . Although it did not appear as if they had weapons or armor, they numbered more than a hundred .
The humpbeasts pulling the carriages had already been killed—their corpses were piled in a circle by the mercenaries around the carriages as a makeshift fort .
On the other hand, the merchants and mercenaries numbered up to just a dozen . Even if their weapons were sharp and their armor solid, they could not stand against the numbers of the opposing force—already, two amongst them who were nearby the perimeter created with the humpbeasts could no longer fight .
It appeared to be a matter of time before all was lost .

“What should we do? Should we help?” Joe quietly asked Edward, gulping .
Edward said nothing . He was chewing his fingernail; he looked rather hesitant .
Both Gou Dan and Jessica appeared doubtful as well .
That was the first time they encountered such a dangerous situation . More worryingly, those goblins were too many—they just might be killed along if they helped!
They were now players, and Xi Wei did mention that they would be revived with sufficient experience . However, they had yet to overcome their old mindset, not to mention that none of them really ‘died’ after leaving Kennington Village despite the many scrapes and bruises they had sustained .
On the other hand, Eleena appeared unconcerned . Being a Saintess, her Faith was absolutely stronger than the other four .
“If you guys are afraid, let me divert their attention,” she said eagerly . “I think I could take ten of them!”
“But there are more than a hundred of them,” Gou Dan shot back .
“By the ancestors, you’re the one amongst us who can cast revive . According to His Lordship, we have to wait three days before we could resurrect if you die in battle!”
“And minus twenty percent EXP,” Jessica added .
“Eh? But I’m really bored with hiding behind everyone every time…” Eleena grumbled unhappily .
Edward turned towards Joe with a look that said please-help-me-convince-her .
Joe nodded in understanding, and then proceeded to scream ‘Wryyyyyyy!’ as he dashed out of the shrub and bounded toward the goblins .
Everyone in the fight—goblin or merchant—turned at once toward them .
“That idiot!”
Quickly dropping his conversation with Eleena, Edward picked up his arcane staff and gave chase, unsure if he should laugh or cry .
Meanwhile, Gou Dan had moved swiftly and fired an arrow at one of the goblins which was trying to ambush them, whereas Jessica buffed Joe with Strengthen .

“We’re the Silver Chime, thanks for your help!”
A middle-aged man who was dressed as a merchant shouted at them, but just a moment later, he added puzzledly, “Where’s the rest of the reinforcements? Are there any adults?”
“We’re it,” Edward replied after launching a Frost Bullet to freeze two goblins . “Just the five of us . ”
The man who appeared delighted reverted to his despondent look before .
Five brats who had yet to grow pubes . Under such a force of goblins, it was literally trying to douse a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water .
Not even a bubble would surface .
Nonetheless, his face changed again in no time at all—those five unusual brats were surprisingly formidable .
Although the huge brat essentially lumbered around, was slow to react and did not look the part of a warrior at all, each swing of his blade would send a goblin into the air . In fact, whether that particular goblin was charging at him or flailing his own wooden club, it made no difference as all of them would be blown away!
Unusually, while other swordsmen would have pursued their target and stabbed the goblin in the vitals to kill, he was different—after sending each goblin flying, he would instead grab it for a suplex…
Although his might was devastating, something was amiss .
The mage brat who looked like the group’s leader was even more superior . After having met the old mages of grand cities, the middle-aged man had seen them use their magic up close . However, all of them had to chant or prepare certain arcane materials before they could unleash their spells, with even the more powerful ones needing to make signs to do the same .
Even if he was only essentially switching between two skills: fireballs and snowballs, he did not have to prepare before casting his spells directly .
After all, if it had been any other mage, you would hear them chant, “Fairies of the Wind . Heed my call: fuse, morph, set . Bless thee with the name of Frost and freeze thine foes in blood and bone thus to bring the deadly cold to the land…”
On the other hand, all that mage brat murmured was ‘Frost Bullet’ .
That was what it felt like .
Not to mention that the power of his magic was not decreasing even after casting for an extended time .
Utterly mind-blowing!

un homme se réincarne en Diamond Joz dans One Piece mais pas à la bonne période! Que compte-il faire dans ce nouveau monde dangereux?
8 143Transmigrated as an NTR’ed protagonist.
WARNING!!! The mc of this novel is weak(mentally) and thus unlikable. The story also has a tag SLOW-PACE. Which means there won't be a lot of actions going on from the get-go.Erlig, a senior in a respectable college lived his whole life without knowing such a word as trouble. Stable life with no accidents, great parents, and a good friend. Gaming was his hobby.But when he tried a new game something happened to him.He was trapped in a new world as the protagonist of this game. The worst is that he was cuckolded, humiliated, and beaten down. Not knowing how this happened he now forced to live a different life.Those things, that looked like fiction in the game turned out to be much more real. He is forced to confront the dark and grimy world that looks much harsher than what he always saw. The only things that left in his changed world, is his meager knowledge of the game and his, own, self.Given such a miraculous opportunity, he is forcibly taken out from his bubble and placed between a choice.To break and fall or to forever change his fate, his life, and everything around him. A little description to give a better understanding of what this story is about. It's my vision on a fusion of Korean fighting manhwas and Korean r-18 romance manhwas with the protagonist that is not typical to those particular works.Author's note: As this is my first novel and English is not my native language any criticism would be appreciated. Release schedule: At least one chapter every week.I also post on Scribble Hub and Webnovel.
8 427Issekai Mockery
The story begins with Alvaro Brad, a genius young man in his teens. Alvaro excels at every subject of his school, chemistry, physics, mathematics and programming are some subjects that he enjoys the most. That seems to be the first impression that people have about him though. Alvaro has another side to him, he is addicted to gambling. Since nothing seems to challenge him anymore, he has taken upon himself to beat luck itself. The only moment he feels any kind of joy is when he takes risks and gambling has given him exactly that. After skipping class to gamble yet again, he sees something on the way to the club. After looking closer he finds a small coin on the ground and as soon as he picks it up he is transported to another world. -Issekai Mockery is exactly as the title suggests, a satire fiction novel making fun of the Issekai genre in subtle and not so subtle ways with the sole purpose of putting a smile on the readers' faces, the novel will feature a lot of Issekai and mmorpg jokes. Don't forget to comment and rate the fiction as I want to listen to some feedback.

8 226The Dangers of a Double Life
Arthur Tracz is an IT technician, a loving husband and excellent friend. Aoife Brosnan is a courier, good daughter, and a volunteer. Gary White is a detective, ex-husband, and a father. They appear to be your average citizens, yet they harbour secrets some of which are so dark that if they were to be revealed they would end up on the top of the news on the international level. These people have no connection to each other, yet their double lives will lead to their fates interweaving. Their lives will never be the same. That is... if they survive. This story was originally supposed to be game, but due to me working on more important project and because most likely I would never have time and funds to do it. I decided to write it as a book which gives me more options in pursuing its narrative. Chapters will be released one a week, Sunday, 14 am CET.
