Few possess the magical insight of this fellow
He’s long known of magic that no mortal ought to know
If only he wasn’t so consumed by his hobbies
He might lead an army to uncounted victories
Oak finished his tea and made his tea cup disappear
The king looked on in dismay and his knights looked on in fear
Many didn’t realize how strong the man’s ears were
And he could only smile as he listened to them whisper
“He talks like he’s above the king and has powers like that
He made our fearless lion of a king look like a cat”
“How come such a man is not our ruler anyways
He alone could end a war in just a couple days”
They whispered of the rumours that he once had served the king
But grew to disagree with his ruler on everything
Running off to live a quiet life in privacy
But it was now quite clear, the reason for his legacy

A King with boundless ambition whose fate is decided
He will always rule the land in which he’s resided
No power, great or small, can ever hope to take his crown
The God of Kings ensures that no power can take him down
Oak had always laughed at how the gods protected Beam
Helping him to establish the kingdom of his dream
Stromland had existed long before his era came
But never had there been a stronger kingdom with that name

“Well, it seems my job is done here, I’ve finished my tea
Somehow the portals seems to have decreased in quantity”
He walked up to the king and patted him on the shoulder
The king then seemed frail, despite not being too much older
“Oak, you know there’s more we need from you before you go
We know that you’re aware the System spoke not long ago
We must have the boy of rumour in our custody
I have no doubt that you could bring him to us easily”
Oak’s big smile was steadfast before the word of the king
But Oak had no intention of conceding anything
“Surely you don’t think a boy could help you with this mess
Don’t tell me you’re acting on some old prophet’s wild guess”
King Beam straightened up, his confidence mostly restored
Exemplifying why he was respected and adored
Even Oak was shaken by the aura of King Beam
Even if he knew he was weaker than he did seem
“It’s clear to us you know the child, and we will have his name
We must know what the System said before the portals came
If you don’t comply, we shall assume conspiracy
Will you defy your king here, where everyone can see?!”
Achievement: Rebellious Bookworm
I’ll acknowledge both your power and your bold nature
Antagonizing this king might be more a fool’s venture
I’ve not met the God of Kings but of the gods I know
He’s a little overzealous, as far as gods go
Oak just laughed and started walking without looking back
“Just be more prepared the next time some monsters attack”
He jumped into the air and seemed to vanish in a haze
The boldness of his actions leaving many in a daze
The King turned round to face the old advisors at his side

Who stood attentively, though still their eyes were open wide
“Find the boy, no answers will be kept hidden from me
Anyone with secrets is this kingdom’s enemy”
His words were cold and resonated clearly everywhere
The skills of leadership carried the king’s voice here and there
And none among the knights who still were fighting the monsters
Even considered not following the king’s orders

Indeed, the boy may hold the answers which you soon will need
As my chosen king, it’s only right that you succeed
The System’s word is final, but your will must be obeyed
As the king, you must know every word that it conveyed
At least, the king thought to himself, the portals have calmed down
But still answers waited for him in some far off small town
Still his messengers had yet to bring back any news
And though he worried for them, there would be no time to lose
He ordered that a unit be composed for a mission
A mobile army given a straightforward commission
“The rumoured boy would be obtained and brought before the king
And death would be the fate of those who thought of resisting”
The army moved according to his will without delay
Weary from the darkness that still hung over the day
But some began to notice something like a red sunrise
But coming from the wrong place, they were quick to realize

A Place to Belong - A LitRPG Adventure
Levi was happy with the life he had built for himself. He had a stable job, decent lodgings, and every weekend he alternated between hiking and biking in the mountains outside of town to keep in shape. There might have been downsides, like no real family or friends and an ex-girlfriend he would rather not think about, but he thought his dad would be proud of what he had done with his life. Levi was content with his prefect walled in regimented life, and even if there was a small part of him that wanted more, wanted actual meaningful relationships, he kept that part of him tightly locked away. Those relationships weren’t worth the pain they inevitably caused. But when a powerful supernatural force sweeps through Earth, Levi finds himself forced into a new environment, the social mask he used before no longer valid. With no choice but to survive and grow, he now needs to confront those feelings he thought he locked away for good. He needs to not only figure out how to survive, but how to live, and what exactly it means to have a place to call home.
