《Rise My Elementals! 》Chapter 14: The Cost of having a Beauty
Advertisement
2 hours later, Leo and Cassandra finally arrived at Sword and Magic. Madam Silva was busy when they came, so she just told them that Alicia, the receptionist they had met before, would guide them to complete their enrollment.
Alicia at this moment wasn't wearing her usual receptionist outfit that somewhat looked like those of maids. She was wearing a cute yellow dress with a sunflower as her hairpin.
"Cuteness is over, 85/100!" Leo said, nodding his head.
Cassandra quickly pinches Leo's side after hearing his rating as she thought, "What an annoying guy!"
They then took a carriage from Sword and Magic to get to the Silver Mage Academy. It only took them a short while to arrive at the Silver Mage Academy, since the Academy was somewhat near to the business district.
Getting out of the carriage, Leo became amused by the beauty of the Academy. It was actually more like a garden than a school. Though there were still buildings around, nature still occupies the majority of the entire Academy. It really makes people feel calm while walking inside. Cassandra had even almost forgotten her worries inside.
Alicia guided Leo and Cassandra towards the Admission Office to sign some papers to finally complete their enrollment.
The Admission Office was located at the very East part of the entire Silver Mage Academy. Arriving at the Admission Office, Leo didn't know whether he should laugh or not.
"It really makes people feel poor." Leo suddenly said.
The thing they called the office at Silver Mage Academy was actually an entire building. Yes! The Admission Office was not a room with an open window to receive people, a huge office, or just a hall like what he had really expected, it was instead an entire huge building.
"The Second Prince really knows how to make people feel the prestige of his Academy through its buildings alone!" Leo said as he also felt dubious of his title as a Noble. He realized after looking at the so-called Admission Office that Manor actually can't even compare to its size alone.
Leo shook his head as he went inside. He thought in his mind, "One day, I would also create something this size for my horse! Let's see whether the Second Prince could still act proudly of his Admission Office in front of me."

Many people were actually like Leo when they first came here. Swearing that they will make a house, a building, a tower, or similar infrastructure for their pets. What they didn't know though that even if they could indeed achieve something more than the Second prince's Admission Office, they were still nothing compared to his Dog.
After signing a few papers to complete his enrollment, Leo then bid farewell to Alicia before walking in a random direction with Cassandra. He wanted to explore the entirety of the Silver Mage Academy for an entire day.
"What other amusing things would this Second Prince have in his Silver Mage Academy!"
Leo and Cassandra started walking towards the west of the Silver Mage Academy since the Admission Office was located in the very east.
.....
When the surrounding finally became dark, Leo was then feeling dumbfounded inside as he realized that he was actually only able to explore half of the entire Silver Mage Academy.
Leo and Cassandra had been walking for an entire morning and afternoon, yet they were still only able to explore half of the entire Academy! How huge was this plot of land for them to only be able to travel half and not its entirety?!
What really shook Leo though was a Palace in the middle of a man-made lake. Base on what he had heard from one of the people around, that Palace was actually for the Second prince Dog.
What sort of concept was that? Even a Dog has a palace! Then can they still be called as a Noble Household if they can't even compare to a mere Dog?
Leo could just shake his head. He finally realized that comparing himself to the Second prince will just make him feel poorer and poorer.
A Palace for a Dog? Leo was actually planning to make a building for his Horse one day. But, look at the Second Prince, he has a Palace for his freaking Dog!
Since it was already getting dark, Leo and Cassandra walked out of the Silver Mage Academy to return to Sword and Magic to bid farewell and to say their gratefulness to Madam Silva.

After exploring the Silver Mage Academy, Leo became extremely grateful towards Madam Silva. Her investment wasn't only enrolling him at Silver Mage Academy, but also giving him bigger opportunities in the future. He promised to himself that he won't be wasting the chance that she had given to him.
'Since you see potential in me, then I promise you that it will not be wasted!' Leo swore in his heart.
Leo and Madam Silva talked for a minute after they arrived at Sword and Magic. But, due to Leo's stomach sounding because of hunger, he could only bid farewell to her unwillingly as he and Cassandra went to a nearby restaurant to eat their dinner.
They weren't able to take their lunch awhile ago because they were busy and focus on exploring half of the entire Silver Mage Academy. Since they were already going back to Heart city and the evening was already fast approaching, they might as well just take their lunch-dinner in one of a nearby restaurant before finally going back home.
Leo was already familiar with the restaurants around Silver city. After all, he had always visited the Silver city to sell the Magical Beast he had hunted before.
Soon, they arrived in front of a medium-sized restaurant. The restaurant's name was Crescent Moon Dining.
Crescent Moon Dining was just an average restaurant. Its service wasn't something you can call the best, but it also wasn't poor. The most important thing that Leo remembered about this restaurant was its food. It was definitely top notch, at least for him.
When they arrived, Leo picked the most unnoticed place possible. He doesn't want to sit in the middle or in the center when he's eating in a restaurant or in any place. He always preferred the corner spot since it was silent and no one would bother with him. Also, the view in the restaurant's corner was also good, it allows him to observe the entire restaurant and the street outside.
The moment Leo sat in his chair, a waiter immediately came to their table to take their order.
"Good evening, sir Leo, may I take your order?" The waiter said, being really familiar with Leo. Obviously, the latter was a frequent visitor of Crescent Moon Dining, hence the staff working in the place was really familiar with the latter.
Leo nodded his head as he quickly ordered a few dishes and a soup for himself before he turned around towards Cassandra to inquire about her order.
"What do you want to eat?" Leo asked Cassandra, who was currently sitting opposite to him.
"The same as yours." Cassandra answered nonchalantly before turning her attention towards the window.
Looking at Cassandra's reaction, the waiter can't help but think inside his mind, "This young Noble Leo would definitely not succeed in his courting, just basing on how she is currently treating him."
Of course, Leo didn't know his thoughts. Even if he does, he would just be laughing loudly. Cassandra was his slave, not someone he was courting. If he really wants something from her, then he could just order her and she would give it to him no matter how unwilling she would feel!
After hearing Cassandra's cold reply, Leo didn't pay any further attention towards her anymore as he turned around and told the waiter to bring 2 of each dish he had ordered.
After the waiter left their table, a group of 5 men suddenly went inside the restaurant. Leo wasn't planning on paying any of his attention to the 5 men, but he noticed that as soon as the 5 men came in, they then started walking in his direction.
Naturally, Leo became curious about such actions, hence his attention immediately focused on them.
As soon as the 5 men arrived in front of Leo, a man in his thirties suddenly spoke up arrogantly, "Piss off kid, and you won't get into trouble!"

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.

God of Thieves
Matsumoto Kunio was just an average human living a boring life in Tokyo, Japan. That was the case until he died and was reincarnated to another world! Armed with a System and tasked with a mission to save the world, watch as Matou, the new name he was given, sets off on an epic adventure! …Or at least, that should have happened? “All right, hand me the thingamabob, you’re no longer the main character! Now, how does this thing work? Ah. “My name is Kayden, and witness my ascendance to the God of Thieves! None shall be safe from my hands, not even your beloved System! Muahahahaha!” This can’t be happening… Author’s note. Hi, this novel is a LitRPG novel. In case you are confused, both Kayden and Matou are main characters, but the ‘protagonist’ would be Kayden. The novel is pretty slow-paced (in my opinion), so do keep that in mind when reading. This is my first novel, so do leave reviews and comments on how to improve my writing. Be nice about it. Also, I recently added the profanity tag. There is some swearing but it's not excessive or anything. Adding it just in case. Taking a one week break! Basically until my exams are over.
