《Arcana》Chapter 25 - The Village Chief
Advertisement
John Cramuel… where have I heard that name before…
*cough! cough!*
“”“Chief!”””
“Before anything else, the medicine…!” [Stephan]
“Of course! Here!” [Ruin]
The attendant; Stephan, punched a hole into one of the fruits then directly made the village chief drink it with a straw then moments later…
VOOOOMMM
Arcana suddenly surged through the room.
As if a flood had passed, the arcana regulates.
Slowly, the village chief’s complexion lights up.
“AaaaAaaah, much better” [John Cramuel]
“I-It really is a miracle fruit…” [Lan]
To think the effects would be that fast!
…?!
Suddenly, I felt something pulling my ear to the ground then a whisper came
“It’s all thanks to you” [Enrica]
“Eh?” [Lan]
“Yeeeaaaaaaaah I’m back!!!” [John Cramuel]
“”“Chief?!”””
The chief was suddenly dancing on top of the bed he was in… dancing?!
Now I remember!!!
“Chief!” [Lan]
“Hooo~ what it is Lan-boy?” [Tsikee]
…who am I now?
Oh, whatever
“Are you perhaps the legendary blacksmith… Tsikee?” [Lan]
“HAHAHAHA! I haven’t heard anyone call me by that name for a while! You’re quite sharp… you’re right Lan-boy, I certainly am Tsikee” [Tsikee]
(Edit : From Village Chief > John Cramuel > Tsikee)
“L-Lan-boy…?” [Lan]
“Out in the surface… I don’t know how long ago, I was indeed one of the master blacksmiths at that time. When everything was in chaos, weapons were needed. Nobody wanted weapons that would break easily since weapons aren’t cheap. I was a bit well known since durability was my specialty. My shop became a tourist attraction after some time since I’d dance every time I’d work ha~ such distant memories…” [Tsikee]
So this person is the dwarf from our legends…
I got to meet a living legend.
Wow…
Well, a god stole my first kiss
I don’t think this taps that.

“All of our weapons were made by the chief y’know” [Taft]
“Don’t go acting all high and mighty” [Stonoir]
“Hehe” [Taft]
“E-eh?! All of those gigantic weapons?! Amazing…” [Lan]
“That’s right Lan-boy, I fit the weapon to the user but I only make weapons from time to time, mostly for our elites since I had that disease but now I’m free! HAHAHA!” [Tsikee]
Such an enthusiastic person…
“By the way chief, it was Lan who got all those fruits and he saved our butts” [Ruin]
“Hmm? What happened?” [Tsikee]
“We got caught by adult Succubus Orchids and were about to be eaten then he went bam! Kablaam! Swoosh! Then we got saved” [Taft]
What kind of vocabulary is that?
“Well, of course he’d be capable. He is a Venick after all” [Tsikee]
Venick…
“W-What do you know about the Venick last name sir? Could you please enlighten me?” [Lan]
“Forgive me Lan-boy but it’s rather not my place to tell you that tale… Instead, since you saved me and my underlings-“ [Tsikee]
“WHO ARE YOU CALLING UNDELINGS HUH?!” [All]
“Let me make you a weapon” [Tsikee]

The Last Science [SE]
[SE has the same content as the original story, split into smaller chunks for easier reading. This story is on a temporary hiatus due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. I work in healthcare and unfortunately no longer have the freetime to continue posting on a regular basis. As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the fading town of Rallsburg stumbles upon an amazing discovery—magic itself. Faced with potentially world-shattering power, the people of Rallsburg keep the secret for themselves. Led by Rachel DuValle, a perpetually underestimated college student with grand ambitions, they seek to found a new society. The world beyond suspects nothing, but magic cannot stay hidden forever. A train arrives in Rallsburg carrying Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate. To him, magic could represent meaning for his life, an explanation for his empty existence. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. The Last Science is an ongoing science-fiction / low-fantasy web novel series, focused on the modern world with a twist. New societies bud and grow, but the people who make them up are imperfect and flawed. The story includes elements of mystery, action, crime, interpersonal drama, relationships, philosophy, sociology, politics, and much more, all centered on the perspective characters driving the tale. This is the "Scraps Edition" of the story, where the chapters have been split up into bite-size chunks (roughly 1500-3000 words), for your convenience. The prose has been edited from its original form, with some improvements, but there are no content differences from the original. New chapters will be posted throughout each week starting on Friday and appearing on multiple days thereafter, depending on the length of the chapter. Content Warning (by request): This series delves into some topics and situations which may be upsetting for some readers. In American rating parlance, the narrative would be rated PG-13 (except for language), but some have noted the story can get pretty dark on occasion. Please use your best judgment, and don't be afraid to take breaks and come back later. I'll still be here! [Discord] - come hang out and chat!

Golden Age
In the latter half of the 21st century fully immersive virtual reality has finally become mainstream; a brand new game company called Aurum Productions promises to bring about the most realistic fantasy MMORPG ever created with their flagship title, Golden Age. A new player who goes by the name, D0n, loads into the world of virtual reality for the first time in his life thanks to these promises. But what catches his attention isn’t the wild monsters, the in-depth quest lines, or the ability to perform superhuman feats — what draws D0n at first is a bit more… mundane. Sure he’ll put in the time to level up his character… just as soon as he can finish applying the last layer of paint on his new coffee table… and after he lands that triple backflip he’s been trying to do all day… not to mention the lady next door was talking about a new horned rabbit stew recipe she was working on… Sure a world of swords and magic in virtual reality means a whole slew of fantastical experiences you can’t get anywhere else, but it’s not like those are going anywhere. And virtual or not, D0n is determined to live out his reality with a pace and vision that suits him best. It’s just a shame that his habit of a personalized play style has some far reaching consequences even Golden Age’s dev team could have never predicted. New Chapters uploaded every Wednesday.

Errant
Amateur fighter Kestril only remembers two things about her mother's disappearance: a locket and the promise she made to keep her brother safe. That promise is all she thinks of when she jumps in front of a car to save her brother. She expects death, but instead wakes up to a looming clock tower, cobblestone streets, and dead soldiers wearing lockets just like her mother's. Kess's locket marks her as one of the Errant- people with control over dimensions and time, and the same people rumored to have captured her brother across the city. When a military group mistakes Kess for their enemy, she swears allegiance at gunpoint, hoping to search for her brother from within. Inside, Kess finds an even darker side of the city bent on killing the Errant-using any means necessary. When the murder of an important Errant soldier throws the city further into civil war, Kess uncovers a plot that could undo everything she's fought for so far. The only problem? Her brother is at the head of it. Trapped between her promise to her mother and her morals, Kess finds little use for her theatrical brawling of the past. She can only hope to find her brother before it's too late. || Update: 4/24/2022 Have decided to rewrite this novel, but will continue to post chapters of this draft, possibly with commentary. Questions, comments, concerns, and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for supporting me! |||| Story is finished, just getting into a publishing schedule on Royal Road for the first time. ||
