《RPG Immortal》Chapter 17
Advertisement
For the remaining hours he could spend, Sigmarus patiently taught Grace how to sound out different letters into words. At first, she could barely read each word, but now she could almost sound out an entire sentence in one go. The way her forehead creased when focusing on unfamiliar or longer words amused him. Teaching somebody how to read was surprisingly fulfilling, though he wouldn’t choose to go out of his way to waste time teaching anyone else in the future.
A few minutes before he planned to leave, somebody knocked on the door again. Sigmarus and Grace glanced at each other and then stared at the door. In answer to their curiosity, the person who knocked spoke from beyond the door, albeit with a hesitant tone.
“Valerie, it’s me. Can I come in?”
“Oh, it’s Madame Lee again,” Grace quietly said. Then, she raised her voice and answered, “Yes, ma’am!”
The door slowly opened, creaking on its old hinges. Madame Lee paused briefly before entering the room. Unlike the last time they saw her, her head was slightly lowered, and her face was downtrodden.
“Is something wrong?” Grace asked the moment she saw her.
Madame Lee’s eyebrows rose, and she straightened her posture. Clearing her throat, she forced a smile and said, “It’s nothing to worry about. Anyway, do you two mind coming to my room for a bit?”
Tilting her head, Grace asked, “Did I do something I shouldn’t, again? Wait, Mister Sigmarus, too?”
“Is that alright… Mister Sigmarus?” Madame Lee asked Sigmarus while avoiding his gaze.
“Hmm… Before that, I want to ask... Have we met before?”
Instantly, Madame Lee froze. She bit her lower lip as though unwilling to answer. Just that was enough to verify his thoughts, but she cemented his suspicions by stammering, “Y- Yes.”

“Thought so. I can spare a minute, then.”
He turned his gaze toward Grace as though expecting her to answer as well. It only took a moment for her to catch on.
Grinning, she looked at her boss and said, “I can’t say no to you, Madame.”
“Okay. Follow me, please.”
Briefly sighing, Madame Lee turned around and stepped back into the hallway. After giving each other curious looks, Sigmarus and Grace stood and followed behind her. The book in Grace’s hands caught Madame Lee’s eye and brewed some curiosity within her toward the situation between them. However, she chose to ignore it for now.
Along the way, Sigmarus scratched his chin while trying to remember Madame Lee’s actual name.
I’m pretty sure my memory got better thanks to the apparatus, but remembering such a small detail is hard. Maybe it’s just because I didn’t care enough to learn names back then? Yeah, that’s probably it.
Before long, the Madame led them into her room on the second floor. The high-quality furniture which would normally be impossible to obtain as a muskrat immediately derailed Sigmarus’ train of thought. How did she get her hands on such things? Was it because of the Green Devil gang who owned the brothel? Sigmarus couldn’t comprehend how either of them could get their hands on these things. Although the furniture was incomparable to the things his parents owned in the Middle Sectors, one would at least have to live in the Lower Sectors, which entailed the first twenty or so floors above the foundations, to get their hands on it.
Maybe I’m thinking too much, but do they have a way to get upstairs or something?
While Sigmarus pondered about the issue, Madame Lee sat behind her desk and gestured for the other two to sit on the chairs in front of it.

Grace quickly sat in the chair to the left. She then turned around in her seat in order to tell Sigmarus to sit without worrying about manners, but then she stopped with her mouth half open. To the surprise of both Grace and Madame Lee, he plopped down in the other chair as though this was his own home, even going so far as to rest his hands on the back of his head while leaning the chair back on its hind legs.
For Grace, Sigmarus’ aloof demeanor was easy to accept. She ignored it and focused on Madame Lee. On the other hand, her boss was speechless.
“So, umm, what did you need us for?” Grace asked.
“Oh, right…” Madame Lee mumbled to herself while struggling to tear her widened eyes away from Sigmarus. Perhaps Grace could accept his behavior, but for Madame Lee, she couldn’t comprehend how the weak child from back then who always suffered under the feet of bullies could now act so nonchalantly. Eventually, she forced herself to come to terms with it and said, “I noticed you two were in the room for a long time.”
“Yes?” Grace replied, unsure what the Madame was hinting at.
“He’s not a VIP customer.”
“Eh? Oh!” Grace exclaimed. She then lowered her head and clenched her fists.
“I gotta be a VIP to use more time or something?” Sigmarus asked.
Madame Lee nodded and answered, “Yes. Only VIP customers can spend more than an hour with one of our girls.”
“I see. How do I get that?”
“First, I want to know why you spent so much of Valerie’s time.”
“He knows my real name, Madame Lee,” Grace said.
“Eh? Do you two know each other outside?”
“He’s the one who gave me credits the other day…”
Madame Lee’s eyes widened. Her lips opened, but no sound came out. Her eyes shifted left and right as she tried to comprehend the situation, and her eyebrows wrinkled. Then, she took a deep breath and sighed. This situation was really unusual.
“Val- Erm, Grace, do you mind stepping outside for a moment so I can talk to him alone for a bit?”
“Umm… okay.”
Although obviously unwilling, Grace nodded and left the room. Sigmarus and Madame Lee looked each other in the eyes, but Madame Lee quickly averted her gaze. Observing her wary attitude towards him, Sigmarus again wondered what had brought such a talented person to such a low station.
“Hello, Sigmarus,” Madame Lee greeted.
“Long time, no see, miss Student Council President,” Sigmarus casually replied.

Home of Laplace
I opened my eyes to an unfamiliar mountain peak standing tall above me like seeing a skyscraper from the street. Soon the chilling burn of the snow that covered me began to invade my senses and I flung my torso upward, sitting up straight. I grabbed my head in confusion as my eyes surveyed the area around me: The corner of a mountain wall stood menacingly in front of me accompanied by thin, dangerous looking paths on either side. The likes of which only adrenaline-seeking psychopaths would use. I turned my head backwards and felt my heart drop as what looked like an infinitely long freefall met my gaze. I was sitting on the ledge of a snow-covered mountain. "CRKKKK" A heart-shaking croaking sounded from above me further up the mountain and I jolted backwards at the impossibly loud sound. 'Shit, wasn't there nothing behind me?' The sound of cracking stone accompanied the heart dropping sensation of descension. As I plunged down backwards, the last thing I saw was the deep-set brown eyes of that blue-skinned monstrosity further up the mountain. ----------------------------------------------------- Levi Laplace is a former genius biochemistry student that died a simple and laughable death on earth. Having studied profusely and written many papers published by large firms he was well-respected and accomplished in his field. But that did not prevent him from having his own problems in his personal life. Having chased behind the back of science for so long he had neglected his social life, ending up lonely and without a partner in his early twenties coming out of his studies. He decided that the best way for him to rekindle his social prowess was to retire to teaching high school science in a small town. He never ended up falling in love as he dreamed but he did find surprising contentment from dealing with the troubled raccoons he taught on a daily basis. Finding himself summoned to a strange world by unknown forces he is confronted with harsh issues and the struggles of its people. Meeting many more problem children, he is moved by his sense of duty to help them find their path in this journey through life. As well as find his own in this dangerous new world. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chapter updates DAILY AT 12:00 PM EST (...Is the goal, sometimes a bit later in the day or the next day at 12:00 instead :P ) Definitely at least once every two days though!

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
