Magical Academy: Rise Of The Supreme Magic Craftsman Chapter 2
Advertisement
Wallace abruptly woke up, startling the small birds eating his leftover food on the ground before he lost his consciousness.
He was trying to remember all those dreams he had. A world where technology was so advanced that humans could conquer even the galaxy. It was such an absurd dream but felt so real.
As he tried to dig more in his memories, another surge of pain struck his brain. It was so painful that he couldn't muster any strength to scream. He lost consciousness again immediately after.
Wallace was a 2nd-year student of the Leonhearts Academy of Magic and was studying to become a Magic Engineer. He was an average student but dreamed to be a successful Magic Engineer someday.
A while ago, he rode a bus and left the academy to visit his family living in a small town near Beirun Forest. As he alighted and walked for about 10 minutes he saw the familiar signage.
"Welcome to Red Star Town"
It was the same old signage. Due to the policy in the academy, he could only come home about 2 or 3 times a year.
Instead of immediately going back home, he thought of visiting the Luna lake which was about 5 minutes' walk on the left of the town and taking a chance to see if the thousands of red star flowers planted near the lake had bloomed. It was normally around this time of the year that they started to bloom.
He was planning to capture a few photos in his mobile device to show them to his friends at the academy. His stomach grumbled as he walked, he rode 2 buses and had about 8 hours of a journey after all. He opened his bag and ate the snack he purchased before his travel.
It was at the moment when he was about to get closer to the lake that his mind went blank and he lost consciousness. He woke up after a weird dream and experienced a surge of pain digging through his brain.

It was already getting dark when he woke up again. But this time his eyes had two different lights.
"Impossible."
It was the only word he could think of as he was trying to get a feel of his body.
For some unknown reason, the Wallace of the outer space and Wallace of this Earth have merged. There was no conflict in his mind but he felt overwhelmed by this discovery at first.
Fifteen years of someone else life merged into his body. A different world where no magic existed but a purely advanced form of technology allowed human civilization to reach the apex.
Conquering humanity's short lifespan to allow people to live a thousand years, enhancing genes to have superhuman bodies, technology so advanced that Wallace from this Earth was left shocked.
His confusion only lasted for a few seconds and something jolted his mind before he closed his eyes again and after opening them, the two different lights in his eyes had somehow merged.
"Father, just where did you send me?"
This world where 'Wallace' had descended seemed like an alternate world. The Wallace here was looking exactly like him. He felt some kind of conspiracy going on here.
Wallace shook his head and got up.
He was 'Wallace', it didn't matter whether it was from space or this Earth.
He started walking back home as it was starting to get dark. He was trying to sort his mind as well. The memories of the two lives were all very clear.
"I need to look for my body to confirm everything."
All his doubts about his identity would be cleared once he saw and confirmed that there was 'Wallace' who descended here on this Earth.
Of course, he would like to check the spaceship as well. As the technology it contained was far above what this planet could offer. This planet had mixed of magic and science after all. Advancement in science was poor as most people still relied on magic or usage of Mana.

Wallace made up his mind. He needed to check out where his spaceship landed. He remembered the scenery where he alighted and when he was still above with the spaceship. He planned to use all possible resources he could have just to get wherever it was. The first thing he could think of was actually to check the library in the Academy.
He could already think of a possible location but left it on his mind for now until he could gather more information or evidence as it was likely to be located in a different nation.
It would be difficult if the location was in another nation due to his identity as a student. Even if he skipped school he might not even be allowed to enter another nation yet.
He had five days of vacation before going back to the Academy, he still had plenty of time to plan his next action.
As he was nearing his home, he met familiar faces and was noticed by them. He politely returned their greeting without being awkward.
He was now standing in front of a house. This was his home. He smiled thinking about this as his other home was a huge spaceship.
He opened the door and found his father's back sitting in the living room watching the news on the television. He noticed his mother as well as preparing dinner for the family.
He smiled and announced his presence.
"I'm home."

It Started with Slime
Before we jump in, let me say that the MC starts stupid, so the language and writing style is straightforward to reflect this. The writing improves with the MC and as the chapters progress (I hope). It is also a gradual growth story, so no zero to hero in ten seconds... with that out of the way: An alchemical experiment has gone wrong and results in a Slime Monster. It doesn't have a name at first and is something that it will need to work out! This story follows a Slime that starts as a Micro Slime with some level of consciousness, and there is more to it than meets the eye. Survival is the name of the game. To improve, it works hard to grow, evolve and become more powerful to survive its harsh new reality. There is a lot more going, and only time will tell if this Slime (all its various versions) can become strong enough to make it through the strife to the other side. It's a harsh world, after all. It Started with Slime is a story with a Monster Protagonist Evolution story. There will be no profanity and no sexual content, and there will be some violence and fighting descriptions. I am a native English speaker, and so the English here should be to a good standard. That said, even though editing, there may be some corrections and typos, so if you see some, let me know! If it bothers you a lot, I am working to make sure all chapters have no typos, but of course, some might slip through. I will endeavour to correct any picked up, though! Also, I started this a few months ago and so any feedback is always appreciated, also reviews and ratings! If you like or don't like the story, let me know in the detailed reviews! That always helps me see what is good and what needs improving. Working on releasing chapters twice a week, I will try to increase that as time goes, but at the moment, that is what I can release. Patreon has more. If the story gets more popular, then I will increase the releases. I am aiming ultimately for a chapter a day if I can get to that. Chapters are roughly 1500 words, with Interludes every five chapters being more or less than that! Enjoy! Edit: Book 1 finished on Patreon, and the format for Book 2 is slightly different with Interludes every three chapters, and the release schedule will be three chapters a week.

8 98Digital Haven
The modern world fell into a deep depression, and few options remained for the suffering lower class. The global economy crumbled under a growing energy crisis and overpopulation led to the creation of a virtual frontier known as Teurilia, the first full immersion virtual reality. Teurilia introduced a world of adventure and exploration leaning on human nature for greed and power. The world, built to be a realistic role-playing game offered players nearly unlimited freedom and became wildly popular around the world within weeks of its initial release. Originally intended to be a temporary relief from the real world, the world’s governments soon realized the potential of virtual existence with the release of technology to permanently transfer consciousness from physical bodies into virtual ones. Supported by economists of the world and political power from the United Nations, Teurilia received limitless funding to support the migration of millions of new citizens. Eric Williams like many low-class citizens immediately saw the potential new life in Teurilia offered and signed up for the migration program within the first week of its announcement. Eric always dreamed of grand adventure and Teurilia was his golden ticket. This is his story…

8 149The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
