Master Of None Chapter 14
Advertisement
After a few moments, Clara came to Walker, " I take it you've had a good Introduction and wish to accept your first quest?"
"Yes please, we would like to accept this quest to hunt and gather Fire Newt tails". Walker responded curtly.
"That was very quick indeed, this quest was just posted with an adjusted reward due to the potential danger in the area. As such I must advise you not to enter the sun hollow forest under any circumstance. A platinum tier adventurer is leading his gold tier members to slay a dragon that has recently been seen in the area. However, as long as you remain on the outskirts it should not be a problem." Walker knew this warning was emphasized strongly because of the low amount of adventuring experience but he was confident in his ability to safely return.
"Thank you for the warning, I'll discuss it with my party so they are prepared for any event." With that, he turned to meet his new found party outside to talk over the quest and head towards the South Gate, the nearest to the sun hollow woods.
The walk to the South Gate was less busy than the north but that's because more travelers came from the grassy plains to the north than through the more dangerous forests to the south. However, for adventurers the south was much more intriguing due to the higher numbers of monsters that called the forests home. This lead to the gathering quests, escort quests, and even slaying quests!
Upon discussing and accepting the quest the system had sent the same message to all four young adventurers.
'Your party had accepted a quest. you must hunt and retrieve 10 flame newts tails.
Rewards- 25G each 5exp'
This put a spring in their step as they headed for the gate.

"Stop right there!" A gruff familiar voice ordered.
Garret with three guards in tow quickly halted the party.
"Father, why are you stopping us? We are headed out to gather flame newt tails; it's our first quest!" Walker was confused
"And who told you to leave through this gate without introducing your new friends to the guards on duty?" The business like tone was undermined by the smirk on his face
Walker quickly caught on thinking, I can't believe he would intentionally embarrass me on my first day. He could swear he saw Remey giggle just a bit before hurriedly returning a serious face.
The introductions were quick but as soon as they were about to leave, "come here a minute, the other guards and myself pooled some gold together to get you something as a congratulations. This will put our minds at ease, everyone will miss watching you running around trying to learn new things."Garrett slipped a small red potion in to Walker's hands. This was a light potion it's cost 50G and could heal up to 30hp. For a new adventure it could mean life or death!
Without any proper words to say all walker could do was smile as the guards behind his father made shooing motions to push him on his way.
The first step outside the gate is always awe inspiring. The world opens up in to a grand scene. The open sky full of fluffy white clouds and the rocky fields leading to the Sun hallow forest. The rocks were the reason the flame newts lived in the area so much. They could absorb plenty of heat to help them grow. Normally a flame newts is the size of a child's hand but if left alone they have been known to grow over two feet long!

The party followed the well worn path all looking in different directions in search of one newt. However walker was about to make things much easier,
' through consecutive actions the keen eye passive skill has been taken from the artists system.
Passive skill keen eye
Allows the user to notice small details in their surroundings, especially if they are focused.'
"Oh! This will help a lot. I just gained the keen eye passive skill. I should be able to spot them easier now." Walker's sudden exclamation caught the party off guard but before they could say anything he had already stopped and pointed at a large stone about ten feet away.

The Ruins of Magincia
They say all things end in time, but the exalted City of Magi would’ve begged to differ. Yet when an attempted coup goes wrong, the city finds itself brought to the very brink of destruction. In the wake of the calamity that left no survivors, the autonomous infrastructure still operating the ruined city seeks to restore what was lost. Luckily for it, the Mana-devoid Universe it awoke in holds an unexpected surprise: a planet full of sentient life forms. All capable—with a little help—to become the next generation of Magi. Back on Earth, Millie McArthur is a pregnant out-of-work mechanic struggling with the prospect of moving back in with her parents after leaving her unfaithful fiancé. That is until she finds herself just one of the hundreds that have been shanghaied by the callous artificial constructs still manning the ruins of Magincia. Now, she must struggle to learn magic, compete for resources, get good 'grades,' and fulfill the seemingly arbitrary requirements for her future job in this broken city. All while keeping herself, and her son, alive. Is the miracle of magic really enough to make up for all the pain? The Ruins of Magincia is a dark fantasy that's heavy on the drama (LitRPG aspects are very light). Chapter lengths can be anywhere from 7k-12k and there's no current release schedule as I'm focusing on wrapping up volume one.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.

Midnight Origins: Arrival
On a lush planet known as Bhar, Verun is now the leading nation in the development of the rivaled schools of Magic and Science. Having brought forth an era of peace and prosperity for themselves through the development of Magitech, The High council was eager to spread their knowledge and beliefs to the furthest reaches of the continent, with the goal of ending senseless conflicts and prioritizing advancements in Magitech and improving the quality of life. This ambition, however, is not without opposition. Most followers side with one school or another, believing it is superior in nature. This conflict dates back to the very beginning of civilization itself, where it is believed by both sides that their gods descended from the heavens, bestowing upon them the knowledge that would bring the world into a new age. And though some took great interest in their differences, others would seek to convert each other through any means necessary. That being the case, The High council, leaders of Verun, had made the necessary preparations to handle threats and attempt diplomacy between the remaining opposers. Talented volunteers were hand chosen to be among the military, tasked with protecting the nation from both internal and external threats. And although non-biological creations have improved quality of life, they are not yet capable of replacing the military. The necessary research and development for such a thing was thought to be decades away, until Councilman Eranor encountered an anomaly in his facility…
