《Reincarnated As A Dragon Vol.1: A New World, A New Life》Interlude: The Researchers
Advertisement
On an empty road, there are three carriages under the light of the moon. The natural sounds of crickets and the rustle of leaves as light winds pass them constantly linger through the night. Yet, only one of those sounds will suffice when the land will be bathed in a lively light. On the horizon, glimpses of blue start to appear, announcing the imminent arrival of an orb that gives warmth and light.
And as the sun started to peek over the horizon, the silhouettes of buildings started to appear in sight, marking the end of the party's one-week journey. The more the sun shines, the more the forest looks like a different world. Leaves shine along as dew can be spotted on their surface. Birds started singing, bringing a new sound to the air. Tiny bugs, squirrels, woodpeckers, and all other life started coming out of their homes to start a new day in their lives.
Only when the sun has risen over the horizon did the passengers of the carriages stir. The first carriage has more sunshine, yet, ironically, a person from the second carriage woke up first. Followed by the others. No one woke up in carriage 3, and that's because it's all filled with luggage and supplies.
"Everyone, we're almost there!" The driver of the first carriage announced. That was followed by some sighs and remarks or relief.
As they entered the gates of the town, most bustling citizens turned their heads at the rare sight of royal carriages in a small town.
Just a few minutes later, they have arrived at the public library, it being their allocated space of what would be their research on a new variant of a creature they thought they knew well. Every public library in Altidore is built with a laboratory inside it.
A man in a gray robe exited the building. It was the town's librarian. He was a bit confused, not being informed of when these guests are supposed to come.
One of the researchers/scientists exited the front carriage. "Ahh, we've arrived!"

Memories: A man broken by despair and depression, Grant Legate finds himself in a once-in-a-lifetime situation after receiving an Ultimate Edition copy of Continue Online. All he wishes for is a distraction from the thoughts plaguing his waking hours. He dives in headfirst, unknowing of the AIs intentions. They offer him the chance to play as one of their own, a NPC deserving of a proper send off. What he discovers during the journey shakes Grant to his very core. Made: No longer playing as a Local from the world of Continue Online, Grant Legate’s adventure can begin. The Voices offer him a unique title along with a test and reward. To start—he'll have to survive underground horrors, old girlfriends, become a warrior. To win—he must become an imp familiar and kill another player, one with a dozen tricks up his sleeve.

With no way around the restriction, he ventures into a new world—a VRMMO game based in space—called Advance Online. There he must help his companion AI, Hal Pal, overcome an identity crisis, race to the center of the universe to bring back his true love, and figure out where he stands on the scariest implication of all; AIs are bringing the dead to life. Crash: Grant’s prior adventures tie together and he finds himself back in Continue Online, as Hermes—in jail. He's forced to experience life as a digital convict and earn redemption points to gain his freedom. Each in-game death pushes his goal of helping his friends out of reach. The AIs Grant’s grown to love, trust—and sometimes fear—are facing extinction, he holds the key to their survival. Together: The game is no longer about adventures in a new world or exploring fantasy lands. Grant’s digital wife faces deletion, along with everyone else he cares for. He, and those who know this is more than a game event, search for clues to salvation left behind by the game's creators. Even if he finds them all, the Voices have one last task for their messenger. A sacrifice.

I am not the Hero
Disclaimer: This is a slow burn story that integrates both Fantasy and somewhat sci-fi. The MC will be more of an anti-hero who will kill any and everyone that he pleases while still understanding the plight of a Villain. This is also family-centric with a dash of hidden identity, Yandere Romance, Blackmail, and a lot of character growth. === Why is life precious? Because you only have one. Then what about the person who took over 999 lives? Who died 999 tragic death as a villain? Then, how would someone like that live? The answer is simple... as he damn wishes. “I-it’s not like I did it for you, you spinless Warrior.” “Good, the doors to your left, you may leave now.” He said to the tsundere Knight. PAH! “How dare you hit a woman?” “Who cares if you’re a woman? You slapped me when I just saved your life!” “You touched my chest!” “I said it was an accident, and again, I just saved your life — you know what? Fuck you, die here if you want to.” “Wait, wait, come back! Don’t leave me here! I’m sorry!” the princess screamed for help after being tossed to the side of the road. Theo did all this, yet to his dismay somehow, his reputation remained good in the eyes of many! A Hero, A Righteous Warrior, Benevolent King, Shadow Lord, Beast Keeper — such were the names given to him... To all of this, his reaction was always the same. “WHY!? How did they come to the conclusion that I’m a Hero? Even my other identities who massacred a lot of people, mind you, are not any different!” [I know, right?] “Shut up, Goddess!” This is the story of the most malicious villain turned Hero. The one with the darkest heart shining with the most brilliant name. He does not hide, nor run, he’s — The Villain Savior. === Final Notes: If you want to support the story, encourage the author, or just flat out want to read ahead, head over to the Patreon where you'll be a week ahead. Schedule: Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday Enjoy and leave your thoughts in the comment section as I read those Thanks to the good reviews
