《Overwrite》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Returning to the virtual world, Ryu was immediately on the move. He didn’t need a map because he had something much better.
He wanted to get back to somewhere he knew, so that he could pick up where he’d left off. No doubt his extra levels would let him blast through whatever quest lines he’d been working on.
“Wait…”
Ryu stopped in his tracks and looked down at his clothes. He’d have to make a few stops before returning to town, and he realised how ridiculous it would be for him to try and run back to town given the distance. Maybe there was somewhere closer?
“That’s still too far.”
The bot had only been active for a night, yet it’d travelled more than 130 kilometers with time to spare. How? The only way to travel so fast was with-
“Magic.”
A box appeared before Ryu, showing him his abilities; however, as he’d thought he didn’t have any such skills. Magic wasn’t necessarily uncommon in virtual reality, but not all magics were equally common. Teleportation for instance went into the “extremely uncommon” category.
Just because he hadn’t officially learnt the ability didn’t mean he couldn’t use it though. The difference between using an ability a player had officially obtained, and using an ability they hadn’t ‘unlocked’ was clear but not necessarily simple - they had to perform it themselves. But Ryu wasn’t by himself.
Like when he’d fought an Arctic Wolf, Ryu’s body moved on its own. His eyes closed and he exhaled, emptying his lungs until it felt like his chest was being sucked into itself. Whether it was him moving or the world moving around him was impossible to know, but in an instant he knew he wasn’t standing in the snow.
For a moment the world was silent, but then the sounds hit him.

“WILLING TO BUY GIRLFRIEND!” shouted a shameless soul.
“SELLING STRAWBERRIES! ONE GOLD EACH!”
He took a look around while catching his breath. There were people walking in every direction, some wearing chestplates and others leather, but that wasn’t what caught his eye. No game was complete without a myriad of women in what could only be described as “bikini armor”.
Ryu allowed himself a few seconds to appreciate their clothing that left little to the imagination, before stopping his search and turning around.
Towers of polished stone bricks and marble looking over a tightly guarded fortified wall… it was unmistakable. He’d found his way back to none other than the holy capital of the Irzabet Kingdom - Sanctuary.

The Purple Jade Palace: The Hummingbird's Plan
When Teal helps an injured soldier by hand-delivering a scroll to the Emperor, he is offered a place in the Emperor's harem for his courage and efforts. Teal is of Lombock descent however, a cannibalistic race of beings who were believed to have died out. Having grown up on the outskirts of the Empire, Teal finds adjusting to life as the Emperor's concubine difficult and as he begins to learn about his origins, he also stumbles on old dark secrets lurking in the palace. Traitorous spies, unfinished disputes, and old enemies from neighboring kingdoms hide in plain sight within the palace walls, all threatening to ignite Teal's true identity and with it, cause the return of a race of beings who once controlled the world with horrific consequences. The only way out? A possible alliance with a defiant and strong-willed princess and a group of magical assassins who wish to control the world as they see fit. Please don't be shy.

8 63The Otherworldly Treasure Hunt
Vic, our protagonist is whisked away from the confines of his bedroom to the strange land of the Otherworld, by the whims of a mysterious being. All in the name of finding some cryptic 'Grand Treasure' except... he wasn't the only one kidnapped and nor are all of the inhabitants of the Otherworld paticularly friendly. So, while Vic has a lot of questions, we have to ask... Will he survive? Will he find some treasure? Will he really be able to get back home? ... Perhaps. =====Summary Over===== Yo, if you are reading this then (like me) you like to read pretty much anything, including some guy's random rambles. Well you could read this story if you want but what's the fun in that really? I'm pretty much writing this (my first) story on a whim so it is certainly not perfect nor is it likely to be good (but what do I know maybe I'm secretly talented). It also might have tons of tons of errors beacuse I'm dumb and sometimes it's just so boring to proof read and you just wanna send a chapter out y'know. Regardless, whether this story brings you the most euphoric delight or illicits the most intense abhorrence I wanna know what you think and how I can improve, reader person, especially if you read this far! ( please reveiw or something)

8 126Despite not Being a Hero, Saint, or Even a Demon King, I was Summoned
I was summoned to another world. Not as a Hero, not as a Saint, not even as a Demon King, but as a regular contract demon. You know, like the ones that come when you sacrifice a chicken or something on top of a magic circle. It's a bit weird, especially since I'm human, but I've just decided to go with the flow for now. Which apparently means becoming the employee of an item shop. (What's that? You want to know what cheat powers I've been given? Well, how about an inexhaustible source of mana substitute? ...Holy crap, I have an inexhaustible source of mana substitute.)
8 185Isekai trash story
You know why you clicked on a story with this title #anime is trash and so am I The main character dies of a heart attack and awakens in another world, alone and in a cave with the body of a newborn baby. However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
