《Changing My Life with A Level System》8. When Elfs Sing
Advertisement
Bao heard an angelic voice that sang a gentle yet vigorous song that slowly entered deep in his body, spreading warmth through the soft touch of every tune. Energy started to flow back into his body and allowed him to regain control over his whole body. A light tingle on the face, as if someone would tickle him with a feather, caused him to promptly open his eyes, staring right in the face of an elf. Her long shiny hair brushed over his face again as she waved with her head in harmony with the melody of her voice without noticing that he had already regained his consciousness. Mesmerized by her beauty and the bright green aura surrounding her, he remained silent and stared at her face. The dark red lips were in contrast with her pale skin and while her eyes were closed shut, the thin eyebrows pointed right towards her nose.
"Sigh finally finished" She opened her eyes after finishing the song.
"Oh I see you have awoken, how are you feeling?"
"My head hurts like hell... Where am I, what happened"
"You collapsed after getting a serious injury by a goblin and since night was near and everyone was exhausted from the fight we decided to set up camp."
"Now I remember... a carriage got attacked and I helped."
His eyes shifted away from her's, only now did he notice that what he thought a fine room was nothing but a simple tent and what seemed to be a pillow was nothing less than her very own lap. In split seconds he found himself standing in front of her while his face turned from white into a light reddish.
"I... I'm sorry for th...e inconvenience I caused you" he stuttered
"You have done no such thing, I would even go as far as to say that you did the exact opposite and helped us out by risking your life."

"A simple peasant such as myself is not worthy of such praise."
He made sure that both of their eyes didn't meet by looking at the tip of his toes because one thing was clear to Bao, she was no ordinary elf.
"How can you say such things about yourself, aren't you a living being such as everyone else?" Her soft voice had now a light angry tone to it.
"Excuse me madam, we prepared a place for the boy to sleep as you requested." A voice from outside the tent interrupted them.
"That won't be necessary anymore, he'll stay in my tent."
"I object against that decision madam! We are responsible for your safety and we don't know any..."
"There are no buts! I won't allow that our saviour is treated in such manner and since he still didn't fully recover he is also my patient and will be treated as such."
"I... I understand, sorry madam." The sound of clanking metal slowly became quieter as the knight walked away.
Bao felt her stares without even needing to look up.
"You don't have any complaints about that, do you?"
"Act... Sigh No I don't have any."
"Now then, who exactly are you? "
"My name's David and I am nothing but a simple farmer's third son madam."
"And how come that a simple farmers son finds himself in the middle of the forest with no provisions or whatsoever?"
"The truth is that I got kicked out by my family madam. With little I had I wanted to try my luck as an adventurer."
"You don't seem like the muscular, adventurer type of guy, rather like I'm wondering how you could even kill a goblin on your own with such frail body."

"I don't know madam. Maybe my strength derived from wanting to help those in need?"
"As much as I would want to think about that being the case, I think the real reason is something completely different. I'll guarantee you that your secret can be safely placed in my hands, I won't tell it to anybody."
"Sorry madam but I... I can't follow you."
"You are a player aren't you?"

Reincarnated as a Troll in a Dark Fantasy World
A troll wakes up in the "forest of beginning" of a fantasy world with only faint memories of his past human life and unable to speak. The human realm will spare no expense to bring down this monstruous threat. While clinging to his humanity, the troll must use his cunning and modern knowledge to survive and evade the hunters. It is a dark age in a world of swords and magic, ruled by superstition and iron-clad rules. Tradition and conformity are the absolute cornerstones of society. There is no calendar, people count time by seasons, or days. Death, famine and vicious monsters are everywhere. People clutch in their communities, afraid of what is outside. Here and there, a Hero rises, his tale brief like a shooting star. Powerful monsters that drift too close to human's realm must be eradicated at any cost, or society might crumble. The Troll comitted this sin. This "isekai' LitRPG novel is an experiment in writing. We commit to the "Adventure" and "Fantasy" genres, but it might have comedy, romance, and both dark and light tones. Some events in this novel are drawn from random encounter generators and others are decided on a die roll just like a tabletop RPG. Things take a unpredictable tone! Non constructive / offensive comments may be deleted without previous warning. Daily Updates: One each monday through friday, two on saturday and sunday. As of september, the updates will be every even-numbered day. Cover Credits: "Ett gammalt bergtroll" - John Bauer, 1904 (with modifications)
8 440The Beaumort Society
The city of Omen is on the cutting-edge of learning and science, and the things going on behind the backs of the Institute and the government, and sometimes with their approval...well, they don’t really matter. Conspirators operate just below the surface, societies clashing, fighting for their own mysterious ends. It's here that the individual known as Nemesis Jones, a self-styled private investigator, arrives, stumbling onto the doorstep of a curious bookstore called Beaumort's. He's here in search of answers, but all he seems to find is more questions - like the strange girl who arrived at Beaumort's shortly after him, and the peculiar stranger who just may have the answers he seeks. After he stumbles upon a conspiracy tied far too closely for comfort to his best friend, it's up to him and some other nosy eccentrics to unravel the mysteries of the city one by one, beginning with the murder at the Theatre Obscura. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, all of this is explicitly outlined in Nemesis' job description. [ILLUSTRATIONS BY @THEEGGGARDEN ON TWITTER] [UPDATES 13TH AND 27TH OF EVERY MONTH]

Permadeath. It is a concept that every hero fears in this dog eat dog world. However, to the brave souls that embark on these adrenaline-fueled battles where swords and shields collide, where magic flies through the air toward their unsuspecting foes to smite them into oblivion, the thrill of death is what makes this game worthwhile. A single misstep, and you will lose everything. If you die once, it is all over. Years of hard work, down the drain in seconds. With your livelihood in your world tied to ours, you will feel a sense of endless despair. Postmortem, you’ll be greeted by every hero’s worst nightmare... the dreaded character creation screen. As for me, you may be wondering who I am? Well, am I one of those heroes? No, far from it… for my role, is that of the guide. I lead those lost little lambs and show them the path forward. I am the one responsible for their lives. Their survival rests in the palm of my hand. But there is just one problem… I only have one job... but I can't even do it right. Please don't mind the beer in my left hand and the cigar in my right. I'm not drinking on the job, I swear. Volume 1 Available on Amazon/Kindle Unlimited
