《I Will Be Recognized》62. Just a Friend

'I need to know who manufactured these beds.' I thought while I continued treating it like a trampoline.
All of a sudden, the doors opened so I hurriedly dived headfirst to the floor. I didn't care if my neck broke but absolutely no one could ever witness me in such a state. Even though there was a higher chance of the floor breaking instead of my neck, I didn't care.
"Daniel? Why are you kissing the floor?" I heard.
This childish girly voice, was it Rachel? And why in the world would you assume I'm kissing the floor? Isn't it obvious that I fell on the ground.
"Rachel? What is it?" I said while getting up with one arm over my neck as if pretending I was a bit sore.
"I figured I should show you around since you are going to be here for a while... But it seems I interrupted you while you were... uh." She didn't seem to be able to form the right words.
It only took me a bit to infer what she was trying to get at.
"Haha, don't worry. I swear on Sam's life that I do not have a floor fetish."
"Pfft, if you're going to swear to the gods, swear on your behalf, not Sam. Anyway, let's go. I'll show you around and it's also almost time for dinner." She said.
What do you mean swear on my behalf? I groomed the boy to become the man he was today! Besides, as a hero with overpowered plot armor, I don't even think it was possible for him to die.
I tidied up my shirt and followed Rachel. After descending the stairs and reaching the ground floor, we headed down a hallway which led to more stairs. After descending down to the basement which was a long hallway, we made our way to a room with double doors at the far end. Rachel put her hand on a pad next to the doors and after hearing a beep, she shoved the doors open and the lights immediately turned on.

"This is my home gym! Isn't it amazing?" She said proudly.
Of course it was the gym first. Now that I think of it, I had never seen her anywhere other than the gym, classes, and the cafeteria while we were at school. I guess I shouldn't have expected any type of grand tour around a massive mansion like this.
She grabbed my arm and pulled me along.
"Look, this is the brand new invention created by the master of The Wizard's Tower. She's an amazing person and she was also the one who gave me advice in designing the gym! It's a machine meant for face pulls! Look! These are called resistance bands. They are perfect for warming up the ligaments and tendons in the body!" She started chattering on by herself. Whenever it came to gym stuff like this, she would suddenly change into an unstoppable fanatic.
Oddly enough, I thought her school gym's equipment were just coincidentally similar to those from my previous world. But now that I saw these, I knew there was something I was missing. I had considered it before and it was probably very likely. There must be various other reincarnated individuals from Earth as well. It would explain the similar types of dishes as well as inventions which utilized scientific knowledge far beyond this current era which should only be limited to somewhere around the medieval ages. The master of The Wizard's Tower... I remember hearing about her during my time at the Wizarding Academy. I should definitely pay a visit to her in the future to confirm my suspicions.

"What? She brought him into the private room? Are you sure that information is correct?" I was completely stunned. Never had I in my entire life seen someone other than the master himself and Miss Rachel enter that forbidden room. I had inquired about the room to the master before but the only thing that he said back to me was that no one but Miss Rachel was permitted to enter that room.

I had heard many stories surrounding that particular room. One time, a certain maid was found to have caught a peek inside the room when Miss Rachel opened the doors. She was soon fired and never to be heard of again. I didn't know what secret the master was trying to hide in that room but I knew it was something extremely important.
'I must report to the master at once!' Thinking that, I told the security guy to keep quiet about it and left the control room that was filled with camera screens everywhere.
I knocked on the doors and upon hearing my master's voice I entered the room and spilled the information.
I had expected the master to react in aggravation but he acted rather contrary to that.
He calmly said. "Is that so."
It was as if he had already known it was going to happen.
"Should we reprimand him later?" I asked.
"No, leave him alone. He is an exception. If that is all, continue researching him." He said with a smile. What? Why was he smiling? As the head butler, I knew the master very well and smiling was an extremely rare occasion. If anything, shouldn't he be mad that an outsider went into that forbidden room? Were the contents inside the room not so secret or valuable after all? Just what was happening?!?!?!

So it has come to this point huh. Since my daughter trusts this boy so much, even to the point of letting him intrude during her training time... She definitely saw something special in this boy. When that girl of mine was confident in her decision, she was always right. It was scary I will admit, but it was a talent that allowed her to shine. It was almost as if she knew the future...
Anyway, in all my years of life, I had never seen nor heard of Rachel getting close to anyone at all. Other than the times she was training alone, I had almost never seen her with a happy expression. Even though I had yet to meet the boy, I could already tell that they were getting along quite well.
"Margaret, our daughter has finally found a friend." I couldn't help but to say that even though there was no one else in the room to hear it. I didn't know why but tears started forming in my eyes as I thought of my first wife.
"Yes, he was just a friend..." I assured myself while sniffling a bit.
"Margaret, our daughter has grown up."

Wizard's Tower
The humans call me Nemon Fargus. They call me wizard, and [Elementalist] and [Enchanter]. They call me teacher. They call me adventurer. But I don't care. Not anymore. For more than a hundred and fifty years I've served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four Kings and a Queen. Two wars and a rebellion. I've founded and taught at a magic school. I've fought against beast waves and dungeon breaks. But now? Now, the one close friend I had left has passed. So, I'm done with their politics and their economics. The short and busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf. Now, I'm looking for a refuge, a place that can well and truly be my own. Away from the growing cities and the bustling markets, away from the pointless wars, away from the eager students and the arrogant adventurers. It's too much. I'm seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance my spellcraft. We'll see if that happens. *synopsis covers book 1 / ac 1 Author's housekeeping: This story is a rough draft.

8 2126A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
8 124A cute duckling in an ugly world
A twist on an old story. A cute duckling in an ugly demon world. A cute demon that starts with nothing, fighting trough the world, the insults, laughter of others at her appearance and other demons making fun of her for being cute, for being different. But she doesn't grow into a monstrous swan. No, that's not how her story ends. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.
