《Hazard Frontier》NAC Just a little something
Advertisement
NAC = Not A Chapter ;)
I'm just feeling great and want to share something.
The last chapter I uploaded, was meant for today, July 24. The time I uploaded it was past 12 midnight, at +8 GMT. I should have waited for 1 am, dear me.
I was planning to upload a chapter once a day, but this mishap means there won't be a chapter for today, July 24 as it was already uploaded an hour early. Sorry, readers who are finally getting into the story. This will be a slight test to your patience (which I know is actually pretty long, since some of you may even be reading fictions here on RRL that are on indefinite hiatus, and are indefinitely waiting for an indefinite update XD).
So, I just woke up an hour ago. It's about 8 am here right now, and I have approximately 40 hours to upload the 4th chapter which has not yet been drafted. It will come out within 40 hours, don't worry (unless real life stuff really goes wrong, I heard there are 2 storms entering our country. Pray to Orlanth (KODP reference) that we won't have a power outage here or a messed up Internet connection).
I also want to share my writing process to you, and tell me if it's actually good or bad. Opinions may differ, but that's the way it is.
I always start with the concept in my head. Every time I'm not doing anything like playing on the PSP (old, I know, but I don't have the money to buy better gaming consoles. Will you donate if I set up a paypal donation feature? ;) ), reading manga and webnovels, or playing visual novels, I end up staring into blankness, thinking of what to write. I have a restless mind, and my mom was scared that I was going crazy. That's why I started to write, so I won't go crazy.

As many of you may have noticed, Hazard Frontier has a Monster Hunter or Gods Eater feel to it. Well, yeah. I've been playing on the PSP, so it's not undeniable that I have gotten inspiration from those two.
So, after thinking of a concept, I'll write an outline of at least 1 to 2 chapters ahead. Right now, there's only the concept for chapter 4, and it's looking quite awesome. Two lines of a summary what's going to happen in the chapter, lol.
When there's already a concept, on my free time or when I'm physically busy like 'depositing' in the toilet, taking a bath, or trying to fall asleep (I'm a caffeine addict, I chug down coffee like it's water), I imagine what's going to happen and keep it all in my head. Some of you may think this is inefficient, since I might forgot it. That's true, but I can't write on paper. I need to type directly in the computer (that means I'm lazy. yeah I dont take down notes in class).
At night, when I've thought up of something solid, I sneak out of bed and type the story (my mom forbids me from staying up late). I do the editing along, then do a proofread before and after posting the chapter (I don't abuse the button, stupid me.)
And that's how you get your chapters.
Now, let me get back to writing. I feel better sharing all that. Haha.
Feel free to comment and critique, as well as rate my fiction (I know it's still only three chapter, but well, who doesn't like being rated, especially if you're quite confident in your story).
Thanks for reading this.
On a side note, should I actually ask for donations? muhaha. I need a better computer. The one I'm using right now experiences BSOD at least once a week :|

Pokemon Animus
Our story begins 20 odd years after the events of the animes, manga, and games. Now don't worry, we'll explore all the regions. However, not everything translates so cleanly into a more realistic setting, while other things just get better. No convenient inventory systems. That Pidgy ain't flying anyone anywhere, and your Bagon can't call meteors from the sky. The realities of the food chain trumps any children's media restrictions. Nearly all the mythics and legendries, can't feasibly be one of a kind. Shinys come in all varieties. Research has advanced in some areas, for good or ill. All the evil organizations that were yesterdays news have splintered apart, remnants lurk in shadow. Your favorite characters have all grown older, some have had children, others may have even died. Towns prosper or fall, new gyms start up while others might close down. New Champions have been crowned, new Leagues have formed! The Next Generation is starting their journey. Now, Dimensional portal shenanigans are nothing new to the pokemon world, But... Kurt, is. Sure, some folks might raise a brow at a 30ish year old man that should probably be in an action movie rather than the Hoenn Rookie League, but Kurt's ready for adventure. He might also wish he played more than the first two games... or remembered anything about himself.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep!

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note! Word count per chapter: 1.6 - 1.8k words Minimum update rate: 2-3 chapters per week Normal update rate: 1 chapter a day Cover art by Zuharu. Also, join the Discord!

Totally Not a Chosen Hero
Jesse's life just started to get great. He bought a comfy apartment, received an offer for a six-figure job, and scored a date with the girl of his dreams. But then, parallel world wizards magically kidnapped Jesse alongside a dozen of strangers. Has no one taught them consent?! The emperor and his confidants told Jesse and other earthlings that they were the Chosen Heroes and a bright future awaited them. Bullshit. That they just needed to learn magical combat at the academy, and then defeating Dark Lords would be easy-peasy. Oh yeah? That as long as they completed their sacred duty, they could choose to return to Earth or continue living on Aethelrend as kings and queens. No thanks. While other so-called Heroes were easily tricked by empty promises of power, riches, and even immortality, Jesse knew better than to believe his kidnappers. He was getting the hell out.
