S-Rank In Another World Chapter 62
Advertisement
After we entered the cafe, we looked for a table to sit on. The cafe was pretty full so we sat at a table at the back. After we sat down, we waited for the waitress to come to place our order.
"You can order anything you want." (Endl)
She could order whatever she wanted of course, since I had enough money for that, I didn't care much. Mary started to look at the menu, well had many options.
After a while, Mary apparently chose what she wanted, well I wanted to order something too. As soon as I got the menu, Mary stopped me and started talking to me about a cake for couples.
"I already ordered the cake for couples, so you don't have to order anything." (Mary)
Mary said that with a huge smile on her face.
Apparently this cake for couples, as the name says, is a cake for couples. It was apparently a heart-shaped strawberry cake, and the couples ate it together.
After that we started talking a little about the date. I was wondering what Mary would like to buy after we left the cafe.
"Well, I don't really know." (Mary)
Mary doesn't seem to know what she wants, so I think I'll choose. I want to choose a beautiful gift for her, because I want her to have a reminder of me all the time with her.
"So leave it to me, I'll buy you a gift." (Endl)
I said confidently, Mary accepted my proposal.
After a while our cake arrived. It was a beautiful heart-shaped cake, and it also had strawberries on top of the cake.
The waitress also brought us drinks, of course.
"It's beautiful." (Mary)
Mary was quite impressed with the beauty of the cake.
After that we started to eat. This cake didn't have to be put on the plate, we would eat together on the plate that it came with.

The cake was delicious, Mary made a face of pleasure whenever she put the cake in her mouth.
We continued eating and talking for a while. We talked about the school, the fight with the demons, and also about Mary's family.
She didn't want to talk much about it, so she said few things.
Apparently she hasn't known her father since she was born, and her mother disappeared some time ago, so she basically doesn't have a family anymore.
But Mary didn't look sad, she was happy all the time, did not losing her family affect her?
Well I can't say that's exactly it, but I'm glad to see her happy.
After we finished eating, I paid for the cake and left the cafe. I wanted to walk down Main Street, where there are lots of stores and lots of merchants selling things in street stalls.
"Let's go this way." (Endl)
I was holding Mary's hand as I guided her. I knew the stores a lot here, since sometimes I walked around the city just to observe everything.
Passing in front of a store, I saw a necklace. It was an extremely beautiful necklace. It had a thin silver chain and had a green stone at its end.
'Is that emerald?'
No, it wasn't, the price is too low to be a true emerald, but it is extremely beautiful.
I looked between Mary and the necklace. Mary was a little confused by my reaction.
'It will be that.'
I saw that the necklace matched Mary a lot, so I decided to buy it since the price wasn't so high.
"Excuse." (Endl)
I called the woman who ran the store.
She was a beautiful woman, about 30 years old.
"Can I help you?" (Saleswoman)
"I wanted this necklace, please." (Endl)

"Good choice boy, is he for your girlfriend?" (Saleswoman)
"Well, actually she's not my girlfriend yet." (Endl)
'Still.' (Mary)
I heard Mary say something from behind, when I looked she, was so red it looked like it was going to explode.
When the saleswoman saw this, she started to laugh. I stood there with a confused face, because I had not heard very well what Mary had said and could not understand the situation well.
"Well, the price is 1 silver coin." (Saleswoman)
Well the price is low, in this world 10 copper coins form 1 coin and silver, and 10 silver coins form one gold.
I had a few silver coins in my pocket, so I paid the saleswoman and took the necklace.
"Thanks for the purchase, and good luck to the couple." (Saleswoman)
"T-Thank you." (Endl)
Is this saleswoman a devil? She made me totally embarrassed in front of Mary. Well it's not that I care about that.
"Mary, turn your back." (Mary)
As soon as Mary turned around, I asked her to lift her hair and i put the necklace around her neck. When Mary saw the necklace on her, she was so glad I couldn't explain.
'But I was right, it suits her a lot.'
"You look beautiful, this necklace suits you very much." (Endl)
"Thanks, Endl." (Mary)
Mary thanked me and gave me hug, hugs was already becoming routine so just return the hug with affection.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
