《Dust: A Romantic Apocalyptic LitRPG Novel》Alf: A Short Character Introduction
Advertisement
Today was Alf’s first day at the UC Berkeley NASB Program, and he already felt like a lab rat.
Six tons of state-of-the-art brain scan equipment enveloped him, pressing the air from his lungs. High current coils clicked and clacked all around him as he tried to solve linear algebra problems in his head. He’d never considered himself particularly claustrophobic, but this was ridiculous. He was just a student volunteer, not a prisoner. Weren’t there rules about strapping patients down?
He closed his eyes and forced a calming breath. He could do this. He didn’t have a choice. Berkeley had given him a full-ride scholarship. Not only did he get to go to college a year early, but he’d be able to participate in a program with other neurally augmented “super brains.” He’d been a freak all his life. He couldn’t wait to finally fit in with his peers. To actually have peers…
Last night after moving into his dorm room, he’d seen the most beautiful girl walking into the Psych Building. Burnished bronze skin, radiant smile… She was tall and slender and her body was… Crap. He couldn’t go there or his amygdala would light up like the Fourth of July. He had to pull himself together or the research scientists were going to think he had a math fetish.

Reinventing the Struggle
The (sort of) original working title for this was "Reincarnated into a neo-feudal world of mecha knights, I will reinvent the panzerkampfwagen and mess up the social political order!" or something along those lines. And honestly that's a good enough synopsis given the nature of isekai titles. This story is unapologetic trash but at least it's the least cringe stuff I have written so far, so here it goes.

In a world of mystery with dozens of races, known and unknown, the young Priestess Glissandi sets out into the world, acccepting her sacred task as a missionary. The young, intelligent woman is accompanied by the wise and careful Paladin Lissa, the young, experienced and reclusive Knight Trista and the two over-eager and talented Squires Mira and Mina as she sets forth on a grand adventure, only to quickly run into what seems to be a deep conspiracy, stretching back to one enigmatic person. Determined to bring him to Light and justice in the Lord's name, she ignores the warnings all around her and goes chasing after a being who everyone fears, but is she really prepared for the truths she will encounter on her journey? Sanguilia, Guide extraordinaire and strange woman all around, is accompanying a trade caravan when disaster strikes. At first glance she is no more than a Guide, which is no lowborn title itself, as it represents individuals who are capable of traversing the unknown wilds and are well versed in the languages of the land and its inhabitants. As she enters a city on her way home, a new, massive problem rears its head. Accompanied by a bar wench, who is far more than she seems, the mercenary Orc, Daenan and his tiny, flying companion, Faen, all with their own plans and agendas, they seek to tackle a monster in the shape of a man who controls the city. In the depths of the woods, far away from what humanity sees as the centre of civilisation, the lone, independent city of Lanas prepares itself for war, for the Kingdom of Maldora has set its eyes on them and their wealth. A cry for help goes out and bonds long faded into obscurity are renewed. And the world quakes when their calls are answered. Melena, once a slave girl, resides happily in the Mansion and is slowly getting used to her new life, where equality seems to rule. Until a noble's son decides that her very attractive body is something he should own. When the enigmatic master of the Mansion decides to personally deal with the rulebreaker, her world is turned upside down as she stumbles upon ancient mysteries that threaten to overwhelm her. Luckily she finds support in her once-liberator, now turned friend, the happy-go-lucky Evon, who carefully hides his past, the ghost-like Khrast, Kreya and many others. It is a tale of adventure, of lies and deceit, of love lost and found, of bravery and cowardice and where every one of our heroes and villains alike strive to find the answer to the same question: who is the being behind the Mansion of the Woods?
