What The Luck!? Chapter 90
Advertisement
Asher had changed clothes after cleaning up his gear that had become dirty the day before. When he came out of the showed on wobbly legs Garnet was still staring at the grades he had gotten on the television. "Good you're done. Get your butt moving and eat what we have in the cafeteria. Use your phone to check the recommended diet for the day. I used your information to sign you up for the elite home gym fitness and diet tracker. You should have the link in your email too."
Asher wasn't sure what to do with this information since he had never had either thing before. This was something only those with money would have, not the average person. "I said hurry up and download the app. I expect you to use it every day."
The look Garnet gave Asher said that if he did not heed her words his life would reach an end. There was no choice. Once she saw that he was still slow to move she practically threw him over her shoulder and closed the cabin door behind her. The cleaning could wait until she had dealt with the slow kid in need of food. While she walked with him over her shoulder like he was a sack of potatoes she snatched his phone and downloaded the elite home gym app.
"Here, log in with that cheesy nickname you chose and make sure you view the adjusted notes I added while I walk." Garnet wanted to think about her own training. She was full of fire knowing that she had found someone ranked higher than her.
Asher felt completely helpless against this monster of a camp counselor. He couldn't resist and just let himself be carried while he logged in to the app. When it all came up he realized that he had been linked to the camp Jewell account as a premium member. This allowed him to use the full features of the elite home gym system and track all of his work out goals and progress.

The most interesting feature was the links that Garnet had added to the video of his five hour training. They were moves that she suggested he learn or ways to modify a move for his own use. It was amazing how in depth she had learned these things and Asher realized that it was not her super power and martial arts training that made her so powerful, but her mind.
"Garnet, I have been wondering, what is your super power rank?" This was something that had been on Asher's mind since he showed up at the camp. He wondered what coach Winters was as well but Garnet appeared to be much easier to ask.
"You want to know that? I'm just a B rank, I am almost considered A rank." This was a big surprise. Being a B rank meant she could have a very profitable career in law enforcement. Not to mention if she was almost A rank she could become a hero.
"Don't go thinking I'll be a hero when I surpass B rank. It won't happen, not in this lifetime or the next.
Garbet set Asher down a bit rough as they came to the dining hall. "Wait but, why? You could at least be law enforcement and help people…"
Asher could not imagine why someone would not want to be on the good side of the law if they had the power. Garnet gave him a hard look before she gave him a slight kick towards the dining hall. "Follow the app suggestions as I told you. Then come to the sparring field and show me what you learned." She didn't bother to even acknowledge his question.
The dining hall was massive and held a huge amount of high tech vending machines. They displayed different versions of food that they could instantly cook and serve. No chefs needed, which was a small disappointment to Asher since he thought human prepared food would just taste better.

Asher was afraid that Garnet would see him ignoring her suggestions and opened the app to see what the elite home gym suggested he ate. The code that popped up was labeled "suggested breakfast". Not seeing any way to get around it he walked up to the largest vending machine and scanned the code.
The machine started making plenty of wiring and sizzling noises and in Five minutes a large covered tray was spat out from the bottom. Asher could smell something delicious, how mouth started to water as he grabbed the drink it had also dispensed and went to a table.
"This smells great!" Asher lifted the cover and was hit with a wall of steam. When it cleared he was left in shock. "This is just fruit and oatmeal!"
The oatmeal was hot and fresh with mixed berries and even a few cucumber slices on the side. The drink he had been dispensed with was a fruit smoothie with protein powder in it. 'This must be some cruel joke, where's the bacon. The eggs, and there's not even cheese on anything.'
He pulled up the app to see what kind of brutal trickery this was. The first thing he saw was a timer. "Three hours until protein and potassium rich snack. Six hours until second meal." This made him a little excited since the god food might just be waiting for later. However, he was suddenly hit with a wave of understanding.
'I have to pay with my points every time I eat...that means my snacks will cost me...Garnet is trying to rob me of my points out of revenge. She's evil!' His inner thoughts ran rampant with every spoon full of oatmeal he ate. His tears adding the salty combo the sweet fruit needed for balance.
"You're here pretty early. How was the luxury cabin? Think you can help me find the golden egg today?" Laura popped up with her own tray of food and sat down in front of Asher. She was furiously eating triple the size of Asher's meal without batting an eye. "I should be able to find it before you if I really try. I will make sure I am faster." This sounded like a real challenge for Laura instead of her asking for help.

The shape of the playing field may be changed, but the powerful still rule the weak.And those who do not conform with the rest of society are exiled to another world. A world that not even the technology of the future managed to tame.It should have been humanity's New World but ended up as nothing more than a penal colony. A place where the exiled are sent to die.

For that purpose, he is willing to go further than most others.But then he learns that if he truly wishes to change things, he can only find his answers beyond the gate. Having lived most of her life as an exile, Astra is a woman of few interests aside from survival and climbing the ranks of her clan.To achieve those goals, she certainly won't be squeamish when a chance literally falls into her lap, or will she? ——————————————————————————————— I am trying to go with a survival/medieval setting in this one. People from a technologically advanced society are thrown into a world where they can't maintain their tech. They are forced to rely on medieval technology where they have to make do with the limited resources they have and what little of their old technology is still working. Their gene manipulation allows them to have something akin to superpowers, but that doesn't help much against the monsters of their new world. Not sure yet whether sufficiently advanced technology will be discovered later on to count as magic. ——————————————————————————————— Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently, I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf. (http://armaell-library.net/author/andur)

Covenant Sinners: The Origin of a Demon Queen
Demon-slayer knight Hector Aeronwen became an enemy of all humankind after saving a dying half-demon girl out of pity. Little did he know, his impulsive action had forever changed the course of the world and the fates of many. This is the story about Hector's desperate quest and the beginning of the demoness whose destiny is to shake the world to its very foundation. Author's note: At the risk of spoiling too much of this story, I want to reveal a bit about the core idea behind this work of fiction. I set out with the idea to write a story in the perspective of the second in command of a demon lord, which then would be followed up with large scale kingdom buildings and warring states. But then I asked myself: what past do they have between them for the Demon Lord to have so much faith in her second in command, and for him to be so loyal to such a horrible being? So this is my attempt at writing the origin of those two, who, while hated by all races in the world, still have each other as the only confidant to entrust their life to. If you are like me and want to see where this premise, with a vague destination in mind, will lead to, please have a read and give me your valued feedback!

A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.

Zyon: The Alpha Of The North
Just as I think i'm going to make it out, i feel an arm wrap around my waist, lifting me into the air. My struggling does essentially nothing. I am incessantly weak, thanks to my non-compliant wolf. I feel myself being thrown onto the bed.I flip myself around to see him, standing at the foot of the bed, with his eyes darker than usual and a scowl set in. "I told you not to run, not once, not twice but thrice," he says. "You aren't going to like what I do now." As he leans down, I scramble towards the headboard, still on my back, my eyes never leaving his. "I told you I wasn't going to stay, why are you not able to understand..'' I'm cut short as I feel a hand wrapping around my ankles pulling me downwards harshly. I let out a scream as I kick my legs, trying to get out of his grasp. He wraps my legs around his stomach, grabs my wrists and pins them down, so he's essentially towering over me. I know what he plans to do. "Please Zyon, Please I don't want this." He looks at me and smirks, clearly enjoying watching me beg, "I don't care what you want. What matters is, what I want."------------------------------------------------Katherine is living a life of solace and acceptance with Daniel.
