The Greatest Beast Trainer: Building A Nation On The Back Of A Dragon Chapter 13
Advertisement
"Why isn't Solomon back yet? It's already so late.
"Where on Earth did he go to do?"
Nicole sat beside the bonfire with a piece of wild boar meat in her hand. She kept stuffing it into her mouth.
She had already forgotten how many pieces of wild boar meat she had eaten.
All she knew was that this was the most filling meal she had ever eaten in her life. She was so full that she was about to vomit.
Beside Nicole was a wild boar leg wrapped in a small piece of animal skin. This was left for Solomon.
Of course, she could not eat all of it. What if Solomon came back hungry?
"Why isn't he back yet?"
Nicole looked at the place where Solomon left. It was the direction of the camp.
"Was Solomon in danger?"
Nicole could not help but worry for Solomon. After all, he had been gone for so long and still had not returned.
"Bah bah bah! Jinx! Solomon is the chosen one. How could he be in danger when he's so powerful?"
After saying that, she continued to eat the piece of wild boar meat.
When she was thirsty, she took a sip of the snake soup from the pot and continued to eat.
Even Nicole did not realize that her small stomach could hold so much food. It was unbelievable.
She only knew that Solomon said that Nicole could not waste these things, so she ate them. Perhaps it had something to do with this environment.
After swallowing the last piece of wild boar meat in her hand, Nicole thought of something and quickly stood up from the ground.
"I have to pack my things!"
She had promised Solomon that she would leave with him, so naturally, she could not go back on her words.
"I will definitely take these two bowls with me. After all, I am a fellow who lives to eat."

"I also have to take this spoon with me. Otherwise, there will be nothing left to drink with the soup."
"Hmm... I also have to take this iron pot with me, but it is still a little hot. I will take it later."
Unknowingly, Nicole's sack was filled with things.
Only then did Nicole realize that she wanted to take everything with her.
These were all her memories.
Every item had Nicole's handprints on it.
These were all made by her and her sister. Yet, if she was honest, she was reluctant to leave.
Even animals had feelings for each other, let alone living people.
"Solomon should put everything onto the back of the Little Fire Dragon!"
Nicole recalled what Solomon had said. He said that he wanted to build a mobile house on the back of the Little Fire Dragon.
Thinking of this, Nicole's originally depressed mood became cheerful again.
When Solomon returned, she must tell him about this matter.
Hiss!
At this moment, Nicole heard the cry of a snake.
She immediately took out the dagger at her waist and walked out of the door.
"So big!"
Nicole exclaimed.
She saw a huge snake coming to the side of the bonfire. Its body was tied with all kinds of things, but it did not cover the colorful scales on its back.
"You are the Rainbow Glazed Snake?"
Nicole asked uncertainly.
If she had not seen the colorful scales on the back of the huge snake, she would have run away.
In Nicole's impression, the Rainbow Snake was still small.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The Rainbow Snake could not speak, so he could only spit out his red tongue.
In addition, Solomon had tied a bed to the Rainbow Snake's head, so he could not raise his head.
Nicole did not understand snake language. He was not like Solomon, who could communicate with the Rainbow Snake's mind.

The man and snake faced each other.
The situation became very awkward.
The Rainbow Snake helplessly wriggled his body and moved the bed on his head a little, revealing a unique symbol.
"Ah, you really are the Rainbow Snake. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Nicole patted her chest. She recognized this symbol. Solomon had also told her that this was a unique symbol of the Rainbow Snake.
When the Rainbow Snake heard Nicole's words, if it could speak, it would have scolded Nicole a long time ago.
What should I say?
Would you understand if I said so?
"Did Solomon ask you to send the things over?"
Nicole focused her attention on the thing on the Rainbow Snake's back. Almost every part of the snake's body was tied up with something.
The Rainbow Snake stuck out its tongue.
Then, it began to wiggle its body again. Finally, the tied rope could not withstand the pressure and broke.
The things also slid down from the Rainbow Snake's back and crashed heavily onto the empty ground, sending up waves of dust.
After doing all this, the Rainbow Snake no longer paid attention to Nicole. Instead, it directly activated its innate skill and disappeared.
After the dust settled, Nicole ran toward the pile of things.
"Ah! This is a piece of hide! And it's so big!"
Nicole held a piece of hide that was enough to wrap her up twice.
"And here, why are there so many dried animal skins!"
Then, she found a big bag full of food, all dried and preserved.
She opened the bag and looked through it. The contents of each bag shocked Nicole.
There were many things that she had never used before. She could only use her memory to call out the names of these things.
In particular, she found many rolls of thread that Nicole can use to weave clothes. There was more than one bundle. There were dozens of bundles!
She could make many beautiful and durable clothes.
Moreover, Nicole had carefully looked at that huge beast skin. Someone definitely peeled it off from the body of a fierce beast!
"Solomon didn't attack the entire camp, right?"
Nicole muttered.
Her guess was indeed correct. Solomon had indeed attacked the entire camp. However, he had only robbed the things of that scum leader. He had also killed the leader along the way.
"Where did these jerky come from!?"
In her memories, only the leader of the camp and the leaders of the hunting squads had the right to enjoy the jerky.
Solomon immediately returned with a bag full of them.
Nicole was quite smart. She did not think that the information from the Jack Bandits alone could exchange for so many things. The only possibility was that Solomon had stolen all these things.
Thinking of this, Nicole started to worry about Solomon again.
The items had been sent back by the Rainbow Snake. So why was Solomon not back yet? Could he have really encountered some danger and could not get away? That was why the Rainbow Snake had sent these items over to me.
Nicole prayed for Solomon in her heart.
As for these items, Nicole had no intention of returning them.
Why would Solomon return the things that he had snatched with his own ability to you!
Moreover, there were many things in here that I had never eaten or used, so why would I return them to you.
This was simply impossible.
Nicole took out a piece of dried animal meat and chewed on it. It was extremely fragrant!

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

As a first time writer, I'd love some constructive criticism as well as general comments about my work as a whole. This story is something I've been kind of thinking about for the better part of a few months and I actually got anxious enough to attempt to put it in writing. Releases may be sporadic as I'm currently in school, and chapter lengths will vary depending on how much I feel i need to write to get my point across. The tags are temporary and may change. I plan on using a cultivation/mana system as this will be somewhat of a crossover
