《Monster Integration 》Chapter 178. HomeTown I
Advertisement
When I woke up, it's nearly early afternoon, the bright sun could be seen shining through the glass of my balcony.
Ashlyn is comfortable lying on the small chair of the balcony and beside her two black boxes could be seen and one of them is open.
Before sleeping the first time, I ordered food for today and left the balcony open, so the drone could drop them off.
I had to do that otherwise Ashlyn would have woken up from the sleep for lunch.
''Yawn!" I take a comfortable yawn as I sat in the bed and looked at my holowatch to see if there are any messages and calls.
There are a few messages from my friends replying to the messages to my messages of yesterday.
''Hahaha!" What caught my attention is two missed calls and messages, after reading them I couldn't help but laugh loudly.
It was from Jim, he was cursing me fir not waning him enough about the pain
I decided to call him myself and ask how he is faring up.
''Tring tri… You fucker, you did that on purpose, right? I've never experienced such pain in my life. Thank god that I able to control myself otherwise, I would have woken up my whole household!" he screamed at me with loudly.
"Hahaha, I did warn you, don't you remember? It was you who became so macho on mentioning the pain!" I replied while laughing loudly.
My reply instantly made him silent, as I said I did tell him about pain but he thought I was teasing him and got annoyed, he arrogantly said he dissent fear pain.
I can imagine how he must have felt when that extreme pain suddenly shot through your body, it feels like living hell.
"You circulated Supreme Combat Exercise right?" I asked, even if he is arrogant, he must have remembered to circulate the exercise.

''Yes I did and it helped me a lot!" He replied with his face full of smile.
''So, how much do you think, they will sell for?" I asked the real question, he said yesterday after experiencing himself.
"This medicine better than I expected, my mana purity had reached a whopping 90.8%. You will get 2.5 million for each piece." Jim said.
2.5 for one piece that means 10 million for all four pieces and I've got 12 million from selling those herbs.
Combine I will have 22 million credit in my account, that is a shit load of money and I still have some cores of monsters left for me to sell.
''I will transfer all the money ive owe you by evening but now I have given this mystical medicine to Sarah, she had been always acting tough, I will see how she react after eating it, hahaha!" He said and started to laugh loudly.
Is his screw got loose! I thought as I see him laughing madly, this guy must have suffered quite a loss by his girlfriend to act like this. I don't think he will tell her about pain.
''Ok, Michael, I'll call you later. I have to make some preparation before Sarah came!" He said and cut the call.
I just left in a stupor for a few seconds, what just happened, that guy definitely going to do some mischief on Sarah.
'Sigh!' i took a sigh and lay back in the bed.
22 million, this will make a lot of the things easier, with it financing my year of training won't be impossible.
I keep laying on the floor for a while before going to the bathroom for freshening up and bath.
Ashlyn was still comfortably lying on a chair, basking in the light of the sun.
I pick the black lunch box and started to eat on my bed while thinking about the things, I have to do today.

I have to do some shopping for my family.
I remember we were quite fine when we were in our old town but when the disaster truck in the form if monster horde we had lost everything.
After that disaster, we had moved to a new town, we didn't get any help from the government except for a quick loan for our new beginning.
My parents had spent 70% of their monthly salary to pay off the huge loan while we have to do with the remaining 30% of the salary.
It was very hard for us to live with this little money, we had lived very frugally and rarely brought anything for our enjoyment.
They had to put my needs before there, the only thing they did extra in five years is bright more monster food when Ashlyn is born.
She was glutton since she was born and will always demand monster meat at every meal.
I finished my lunch and thew the lunch boxes in the bin.
''Let's go, Ashlyn!" I said as I picked her in my palms and walk toward the door.
I've decided to do some shopping in the mall, I would have done it on my holowatch but this time, I am doing it for my parents and I am not sure what I want to buy.
My plan was to roam the mall and buy the things that I would need.
I will also need some things, a few good clothes, and a Backpack.
I have no need to change the Artifact as they are enough for till I reached the Corporal level.
It would be a completely different thing if I get the Knight grade artifact but it was very difficult to get them without connections.
I walk out of my apartment with Ashlyn in tow.
I decide to go to the mall in Mid- layer, it is a good mall, I've heard many things about and I it right.
Within an hour, I reached the steps of the magnificent mall, it is the shape of the tower which has green vines surrounding it.
When you enter inside it, you will think you were in the garden, it feels quite good inside as soft fresh breeze will always be touched by your body.
I've only a few hours to shop as I have a train at 7:00 in the evening and it is already an afternoon.
By the time I've finished, its already 4:30 pm but I felt quite good, I already brought everything.
''Chew chew!" Ashlyn chirp again, this her fourth time to ask for a snack.
Whatever she smells tasty, she will demand it and I didn't want to reject her seeing it was because of her that I got a shitload of money.
"This is the last time Ashlyn!" I said to Ashlyn as I have lots of bags in my hands.
"Tasty!" I have to say whatever Ashlyn chose is very tasty, like this iced drink that now we are drinking, it is very delicious.
Today is the first day Ashlyn is drinking ice drinking from straws, she is drinking quite expertly without spilling a drop and looked quite cute doing that.
"How cute!" a little girl of four came and states to pet Ashlyn suddenly, her mother who behind her smiled in apology.
I smiled back in understanding, many people had come to pet Ashlyn especially children.
Her shiny silver feathers and chubby form always look cute to children especially when she is eating.
Ashlyn didn't snap but also didn't respond to the petting and continued drinking without care.
We soon finished eating and left for an apartment, I have only two hours until my train time.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.

A few notes: This story uses a hard magic system and is set in a somewhat realistic middle ages time period. Tagged sexual content just in case it comes up later.

He murmured, his lips only inches from my own.I blinked, my lips parting, as his heady scent encircled me. He licked his lower lip, running his teeth over it as his electric blue eyes burned into mine. The heat of his bare chest seeped through my thin cotton shirt, thawing my icy irritation."Even when you're being cross." He added in a low voice. He leaned closer, before I could respond, and ran his teeth along my jaw.I suppressed a moan. "I wouldn't be cross if you weren't so keen on irritating me." I said, unable to hide the smile in my voice.I felt his answering smile against my neck. "How can I make it up to you?" He whispered, planting gentle kisses up and down the column of my throat. He moved to the other side of my neck, flicking his tongue once against the mating mark near my shoulder.My hands slid up his abdomen, exploring the dips and hard lines of his muscles. Heat uncurled deep in my belly, spreading lower, and lower, until I felt my panties dampen. He growled into my ear, sending shivers down my entire body.*~*~*~*~*~*~#1 in ROMANCE 9/13/18~~#1 in ACTION-ADVENTURE 12/05/18 and 4/25/19~~#1 in ACTION-ROMANCE 1/16/19~~#1 in DRAGONS 6/9/19~~#1 in FAIRIES 7/20/19~*~*~*~*~*~*⚠️!!

A World With or Without Aliens
Nothing matters. It's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact. This is neither good nor bad, it just... is. I watched my entire country burn, fried on a patriotic pan after some jerk fired a bunch of nukes at the docile fleet of alien ships hovering over us. Who gave this moron such power? I don't know. Everyone involved is most likely dead by now. As for me, I can't die. I feel pain like a normal person would (I think), but no matter how terrible the conditions, I will never die or pass out. Fortunately, a lot of alien technology survived its crash to Earth, so I get to spend some time playing with it until Mr. Author gets bored and decides to screw up my life. Beware, this has a "harem" tag. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm the main character and am therefore subject to this novel's timeline. While this bars me from the sweet ignorance of Chapter 1's me, it does have other perks... for example, I can tell you that heroine number one is personally responsible for kil-!? H-hey, back off! I'm your character, so if you didn't want me to be like this, then you should've written me differently! Randomguy here! In all seriousness, this novel is meant to explore the concept of nihilism as a post-apocalyptic/supernatural-scifi/satire told from a nihilistic introvert's first-person perspective. As you heard from my unsettled main character, each heroine is going to be a different type of horrifying socio/psychopath with dark motives and dangerous abilities (most of which are psychological). Why would I do something like this? Because I am, in reality, a nihilist who is often frustrated by weird things, like unrealistically dramatic stories, the industrialization of art (specifically music), and people who think swimming in brown creekwater for five hours is a "fun" activity. Don't get me wrong, neither me nor my character are depressed, we're just malcontents who make a lot of nerd references. I feel like the true essence of an "everything is worthless" perspective is lost on most pop-culture figures. The closest character I can think of at the moment is Rick from Rick and Morty, who is a drunk, angry nihilist that experienced tremendous loss. I, personally, find this belligerent state of mind to be very relatable, and have incorperated it into every chapter's introduction. Here, the main character talks directly to the reader (and me), shamelessly complaining about some semi-relevant facet of society, which probably doesn't make much sense... it's not really supposed to, though. These "angry nihilist" moments are just a peak into the main character's everyday existence, and also act as miniature rage-journals for me. It will sometimes take a subjectively 'positive' turn, but not very often. This is because reality isn't good or bad, "it just... is". I will eventually bring it full-circle to optimistic nihilism, since that seems to be a more practical way to live (and by "practical", I mean "doesn't create mental health issues"). It is, of course, a satire. I did this because most unnecessarily emotional moments or people usually make me feel kind of awkward, so I decided to mock them. That is, I plan to mock the characteristics about them I don't like in characters based solely off said characteristics. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy my story!
