《Changing My Life with A Level System》23. Opportunities

The pulsing beat of his heart could be felt throughout his body with increasing velocity. Bao threw a quick glance at Elincia, who stood beside him if she might have heard the thumping sound -there was no reaction from her-, she either did not care or just ignored it. An uncomfortable feeling spread in his stomach area, it reminded him of a drinking party which he attended and immediately regretted the day after. Needless to say that he stopped going to any festivities and didn't touch alcoholic beverages in years.
"What is it then?" Bao asked.
"What?"
"The other method to safe the souls, we were interrupted when you wanted to give me an answer."
"Ooh, that." The elf passed her fingers through her hair. "Pretty simple, if we can't get them out of there by dragging them out one by one then we just need to destroy the place they are stored in. At least that's the theory."
"We just need to find the location of where they are collected huh."
She nodded.
Bao's back itched on a spot on his back but he resisted the urge to scratch himself. The new clothes he was wearing had not a single hair or splotch of dirt on them and while you probably needed a degree to know how to put on all of those unnecessary pompous pieces of cloth that were floating around, you could still have servants do the job for you, as it was in Bao's case. They sat tight on his shoulders and crotch but the worst part was their almost shining combined colour of white and blue, the complete opposite of his dark eyes.
"Sigh... I hate formal clothing. Damn those who invented such ridiculous attire." He complained.
"Nothing we can do about it, we are going to meet the king after all. Or did you want to go with those tattered clothes of yours?"

He shook his head.
"Now stop muttering. This is your possibility to get a new life after all."
Both of them were in the royal palace and stop in front of a massive gate, drawn on it the crest of the Kaston family. A strange white angel-like bird with four wings on a blue field, explaining the choice of his clothes colour. Hidden behind those thick doors was probably the hearing hall where they would have an audience with the king.
"Don't forget that you are the one who dragged me here."-he whispered-"I never wanted to come in the first place."
"That's a lie."
"Why should I?"
"You came to the city to become successful, so why should you through away this possibility? Isn't an opportunity like this the very own reason for coming to this town?"
He glared at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Hah, I definitely don't want to get involved with the palace politics. Every friend could be your enemy while assassinations in plain daylight are the normality. If I had the choice I would rather die as a free adventurer rather than an underling to the crown." He waved with his hand as if he would try to shy a fly away. "No thank you. I would rather be alive and poor rather than dead and rich."
"Isn't that even worse when you stay with me? After all, I am known across all of Nelenia, there are definitely enough people who want to see me dead." She smirked.
"That is not something someone would say with a smile on her face." He mumbled.
"Through the bravery and hardship of her greatness, the holy maiden of Karsuva and the help of her assistant David they could safe his highness's son and lift the curse from his body." The herald announced the moment both doors opened, splitting the bird right into two halves.

"Assistant?!" Bao threw an angry look at Elincia.
She answered with one of her gentle smiles, which he learned were not her true face.
Before coming to the castle he once again used up all of his AP points gained from both quests. Knowing that he was going to talk to the king personally, he put most of them into charisma, hoping to receive a small advantage in what was about to come.

Immortal Conqueror
Non-RR tags: Overpowered Main Character - Losing power and "starting over" - Medieval world - "Adventurers" Guild Release rate: 3 chapters per week for a couple weeks (as of 02/10/2021), then 4~5 per week. Aaron hadn't had a good fight in ages. No one in the known universe could give him one, he was just too strong. So, he was going to search for it in the unknown parts of the universe. That's when a portal appeared in front of him with a message: the dimension on the other side was in danger and requested his help. However, inter-dimensional travel came with its own rules. One of them was that his overwhelming power needed to be left behind, that he must tread the path to power from the beginning all over again. Not that it would truly hinder someone like him. Excited at the prospect of having found a worthy opponent, he stepped into the portal. On the other side, he found a medieval world controlled by a mysterious system. Holographic panels appeared at a mere thought, defining each living being in numbers, determining their classes, and changing their very selves. In a world where power reigns supreme, the morale is fluid and the enemies are diverse. But they weren't prepared to deal with him. Witness Aaron's conquest of a world full of conflict, wild beasts, and magical items.
8 253Whatever End
The fight is over, the enemy destroyed, the world is saved… technically. “Stand Fast!” The general called over the din of battle. “We will hold this line! The future depends on us! To whatever end!” Richard believed him, and that’s why he had bound his soul to the Arcstone, in hopes of containing the rift forever. If only he had learned more before making that final sacrafice. When the battle is done, and the world is ‘saved’ what happens to those left behind? And.. what should he do, now that it’s over? Cover art by gej302
8 182The Legend of Fanaura: Cursed
'Hey, need some help there?' An unfamiliar voice echoed through her mind, and she startled, losing her grip on the red phial. It rolled through the grass, away from her. "Oh shoot!" she yelped, and her focus diverted from her opponent for a split second, but it was enough to prove fatal. The beast took advantage of her distraction and lunged towards her. She tried to back away, but in her haste, she stumbled and fell. She looked at the beast, inches away from her, and shut her eyes in fear. She raised her arms to cover her head, even if she knew it was futile. Yet seconds passed, and no pain came. Then she heard the beast let out a pained yelp. She opened her eyes to the familiar sounds of battle before her. A tall man stood before her, locked in battle with the beast. He wielded a sword as long as his height, yet it didn't seem to hinder him in the slightest. She watched in awe as he swung the obviously heavy sword around as if it were light as a feather. His movements were swift and precise, and it didn't take long before the beast fell to the ground, motionless. “You alright there, miss?” The man sheathed his sword across his back, before turning to her. Her eyes widened when she heard his voice. It was the same voice who had that had spoken into her mind and the cause of her almost-fatal distraction. "You...!" she hissed.***She was the chosen one to end the war between the Goddesses when they were supposed to take care of the world balance.

But her path won't be easy as darkness lurks and hidden between her friends and comrades waiting to punch her in the back and ruined her journey of redemption and world saving. Would she succeed or succumbed once more?
8 113Love, Napalm & Homicidal Fairies
When Nasilain started traveling between worlds, she hadn’t expected to get caught by a police officer. Nasilain: Traveling between worlds always filled Nasilain with dread. All those men with their friendly smiles and hundreds of questions. What was the last movie she watched? What music did she like? What country was she from? If Nasilain could use magic in this world, she would’ve blocked the flow of calcium ions in their jaw muscles just to shut them up. The scientific knowledge she could find on the internet using the free Wi-Fi in one of the local coffee shops forced her to tolerate the occasional interrogation. But even hipsters were better than Seth, the beefy police officer that caught her teleporting. Apparently, she wasn’t allowed to lie to him, which was fine as long as he didn’t ask about the clone. Seth: Seth had seen his share of bad luck. On normal days, it manifested as a shoulder injury that got him discharged from his SEAL team or wounding a civilian while on the police force. But landing in a parallel dimension with elves in neon green pants, a cute mad scientist with magical abilities, and swarms of carnivorous fairies? That was a first. At least Nasilain promised not to use her magic to split atoms. Content warning: This book DOES NOT contain zombie fairies. Everything else is fair game though.
8 125Foreshadow
It's was already over 200 years since the last Supernatural War. Due to the use of technology against humanity, it created a psychological trauma that leads to the slow advancement of technology. Throughout the years, the world was unbelievably silent and in peace. Many believed that the pact signed by humanity and Supernatural Species kept the two opposing forces on watch. Some thought that both sides are brewing something and kept their cards hidden. Even the rumors told that the peace wouldn't last long and the war would break out in a few years. Who would know the future and things it would tell. Maybe the war would break out of nowhere or the world would remain at ease.---Note:First, I don't own the picture and credits to its rightful owner. Second, English isn't my native language. So before hand, sorry for the wrong grammar, misspelled words and the redundancies. Last, enjoy! --- Hiatus for the meantime while I'm retyping/reediting the first ARC. Thank YOU!
