My Four Other Selves Chapter 6
Advertisement
It had been a week now, and Zhang Yong was still stuck in that hospital. He had started to hate these hospitals so much. He badly wanted to get out of there but his current condition wasn't allowing him to do so.
A frustrated Zhang Yong, who was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling like it was the most exciting thing in the world, now started to talk to himself out of boredom.
"Where will I.... Where will I go now? I have no home."
He closed his eyes and gulped the lump in his throat.
The doctor had just left the room telling him that he was getting better. His body was getting better, and most of the bandages on his body were already removed.
He was just getting the thoughts of leaving the hospital when he suddenly paused, 'Wait! Where will I even go after getting out of here?'
A worried look came on his face.
'Where should I even go? I don't have a family. My friends don't like me, they will never help me. I am. Just. alone.'
A lone tear slipped out of his eyes, thinking about his condition; he was actually starting to pity himself.
He was just wishing that his Mom and Dad wouldn't have passed away in that accident that early, leaving him to fend for himself. Maybe if they were around, he wouldn't have to go through all these problems. He wouldn't have been so alone today.
Zhang Yong didn't even realize when those tears started to fall out of his eyes freely.
"Hello! Hello! I am back."
With some pink light in the air, Rosa appeared in the room again. She freely started to fly around him.
"Hehehe. I am back. How are you, cry-baby?"

Zhang Yong rolled his eyes at that and wiped his face through the back of his hands. Without bothering to answer her question, Zhang Yong said, "Why are you here?"
She flew to the other side.
"Of course, I am here to see how you are feeling."
"Whatever."
Zhang Yong rolled his eyes before saying, "Get to the point."
"I was going to, soon. Hehe. Don't worry."
Again, she flew to the other side, but this time she came closer to him.
"Your power and health are actually getting better, so I think we should take things ahead as we don't have much time left."
"Huh?" A frown appeared on his forehead, "What do you mean by taking things ahead?"
Rosa rolled her eyes.
"Take things ahead and get married."
Rosa looked at Zhang Yong with disbelief while he did too when she again said, "I am obviously talking about the missions, you idiot."
Zhang Yong, who was still looking at her with disbelief, said, "You know you really have a bad sense of humor. Please don't try that again."
"Oh My God! Did you only focus on that part?"
Zhang Yong just simply shrugged, making Rosa angry now.
"Get up."
"I can't get up."
Zhang Yong was obviously better, and he could get up with ease and sit, but he was purposefully annoying Rosa.
"I know you can get up."
Zhang Yong again simply shrugged, dismissing her words. She waited for some time, but when she realized that he wasn't planning on getting up, she got angry, and Zhang Yong felt his body being lifted up from the bed the next moment.
"What the?"
His words died down in his throat when he realized that he was already sitting on the bed.

"What the heck? How did you do that? And most importantly, why did you do that?"
Rosa acted like she was flipping her hair and was proud of her doings.
"You weren't listening to me. Humph."
"What do you want from me?" Zhang Yong's voice rose as he said those words.
"Oh please! Don't start again. I already explained everything to you."
"Whatever."
"Okay, so we will start again. Your health and power have improved now, so I think we should set out for the mission. Can you please check if the first mission's details are available there on your system?"
"Where is my system?"
Zhang Yong held much seriousness in his voice, his face showing that he was damn serious. On the other hand, Rose raised her little eyebrows and gave him a disgusting look.
"What the? What did I tell you last time? Did you forget about everything?"
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did. Do you even remember the screen that showed up on your arm and how to open it again?"
"Yeah! I do."
Just with that, Zhang Yong started to gaze at his arm, up and down, and then…
Just with that, Zhang Yong started to gaze at his arm, up and down, and then he pressed his wrist like he was told by Rosa. The screen almost immediately showed up in front of him.
"Oh! It's still there."
"Yeah! It will always be there from now on. You can check your progress and about the details of the mission here."
Zhang Yong nodded his head before he started to look at those details shown there on the system.

"Oh yeah! You can go to the mission now. Your power is enough for you to go there, so be prepared. I will take you there tomorrow."
Zhang Yong rubbed his hand on his face before saying, "I don't know. Maybe I am becoming idiotic, or I am losing my brain, but I am actually getting the hang of these things now."
"Of course! This is just the start, but you will soon understand the system quite well. Don't worry."
"Hmm."
"And by the way.....

Maker of Fire
On a world where magic kept civilization firmly in the bronze age, the Gods dropped an accountant and a mining engineer to start a political and industrial revolution. They wanted enlightened governance and a fast track to the iron age. They got indoor plumbing, paper airplanes, a cranky queen, and one very grumpy prophet. Dramatis Personae Aylem was a bookkeeping student when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as the greatest mage ever known, born into the ruling class of gigantic, magic-wielding humans. The Gods expect her to conquer the world and introduce double-entry accounting. Though Queen and numerical reformer, world conquest is stalled because everyone is scared of her and she doesn't like war. Emily was a retired engineer when she died. The Gods reincarnated her as one of the enslaved class of small, magicless humans. The Gods expect her to drag the world out of the bronze age. Though she's already recreated matches and wrought iron, introducing technology isn't going well because she was born a slave (oops) and having escaped, wants nothing to do with so-called "civilization." Asgotl was a whale when he died. The Gods reincarnated him as a griffin and expect him to have the same role he played in his previous life: to keep a reluctant prophet from walking off the job. If only they had remembered to tell him about it. Revised update schedule will be once a week on Saturdays, noonish Mountain Time (in North America)

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
