《The Sudden Rise of the Magic Continent》Chapter 1: A Confusing New Place
Advertisement
(sentences in between 2 "-" are the thoughts of someone other than the main character)
I wake up to the sound of thunder in the distance in a place I've never seen before... Actually, do I remember being anywhere? To wake up in what seems to be a forest is really weird. I should look around to find out what this place is like and try to find out where I actually am.
As I walk through the forest, I find what seems to be a town in the middle of it. There are Elves and even what seems to be Monkey Beastmen. An Elf who looks really young but looks very dignified is now walking up to me... I wonder what he wants.
"Are you perhaps the visitor we were expecting?" The Elf says to me.
"A visitor? No, I don't think so? I don't remember much..." I say as I try to remember how I got here.
"I see. May I ask your name? Mine is Alberic"
"Oh, um, it's Aki," I say, vaguely remembering my name
"Alright then, if you could follow me, please." -She's not the one, but I can't leave her out like this. She seems to be one of the new spawns-
"Everyone seems really busy... Is this because of the visitor?" As I look around, everyone seems to be doing something
"Oh yes, then you're most certainly one of the new spawns. As you should know, many of us have been awakening from the earth recently. I myself have been awakened recently, but since I was the first of the elves, I'm currently trying to make it so that everyone in the forest awakens peacefully and easily. I'm working with the first of the Monkeen and Treants to try and make everything as easy as it can be. But the fact that you have no memories at all, or not even know who we're waiting for, is strange as you should at least have a vague idea of what we should be prepared for."

"If this is all so important, then why are you helping me? You're explaining all of this important stuff and wasting this important time? Shouldn't you be trying to make everything faster?"
"You misunderstand. You're also newly awakened, aren't you? You are one of the people I need to be helping. You seem to be one of the Orunian as well, so you're important in itself."
"An Orunian? What's that?"
"Orunians are made to be similar in a sense to each of the beings on Gloranela. They are all different and very rare; you are only the 6th one heard of in Terra's Domain."
"The sixth one? Am I truly that rare?" I look deep in thought as I wonder why I'm like this.
"Here, sit here please, I'll be back soon," He says as he shows me to a seat inside of one of the larger trees.
"Oh uh yeah, I can wait" As soon as he leaves, a large black screen appears in front of my face.
"This is... Weird..." I start tapping the screen and see a bunch of random tabs. The one that truly caught my eye, though, was the status.
Name: Aki
Level: 5
Power: 50
Health: 100
Magic Energy: 100
Compatible Magical Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Electricity, Holy, Unholy, Space, Time
Skills: Minor Flame I, Water Manifestation I, Rock Manipulation I, Minor Gust I
Special Skills: Analyzation I, Status Screen
"Is this the status screen? It must be because I don't know what else it could be, and since it's a unique skill, does it mean that only I can have it?" Aki thinks out loud as she wonders what it all means
Alberic walks back into the room after about 30 minutes, looking a bit frantic.

"What's wrong? Is something happening?" Aki asks, not understanding why the Elf looks unnerved for seemingly no reason.
"Terra is coming. We knew we were going to have a visitor, but for it to be someone like Terra? Terra is far too important for us to accept properly. Could you please give us aid in setting everything up?"
"Who is Terra? You said something about 'Terra's Domain' earlier. Is he that important?"
"Terra is one of the four guardians who protect these lands. The world we know of and are allowed to venture was split up between them, so they guard a quarter each... To think you didn't even know that much."
"Have you ever traveled further than Terra's Domain?"
"There hasn't been time to do so, we know because we appeared with that knowledge beforehand. I believe it to be natural knowledge so that we can make our lives more stable far easier."
"Well, I can help. I'm probably wasting your time by making you answer my questions."
"Yeah, that's about right... Well, come with me," Alberic says as he guides Aki out.

Guys I have edited the prologue and uploaded it after I uploaded the fourth chapter. Although the story hasn't changed much, I have tried to make it flow smoother. Added a few more details to the life of Aarav and stuff like that. Might wanna take a look at it. P.S. - Guys this is my first story. I am trying to learn English better but since I don't have enough money for books, courses or tutors, so your criticism and support will have to do. This is my first time, so please be gentle. P.P.S. - I selected harem in tags because generally people who like it tend to be more chill. Right now I have a rough sketch till the second volume and there are only two female leads.

The Errant Otherworlder Watanabe
“In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and trucks whom transport men to other worlds.” Meet our titular protagonist Haruto Watanabe, a man who has all the markings of a good protagonist for a generic portal fantasy story. As an overworked office worker, to escape from the grips of crippling capitalist alienation, he had taken up to reading many stories where young men like him were transported to other worlds and enjoyed their lives at a most leisurely pace. Armed with genre-awareness and (what he believes to be) a marketable personality which would make him an easy audience self-insert, he longed for the day the isekai express would take him to his long-awaited adventure to another world. When the fateful day came, where the fair yet harsh mistress that is the fabled truck took Watanabe on one last date to the other side, he was most ready to escape his previous life, ready to embark on an errant so great he’d be most overpowered, his heroics so exceptional and his harem so vast that they would barely fit ten or twenty volumes of an overly long novel made by a desperate author looking for quick cash. Lo and behold however, Watanabe instead found himself in a low fantasy world which lacked severely in the department of any game-like systems, cheat skills or easily charmed damsels in distress. In a setting so antithetical to his established genre savviness or any attempts at power fantasy, how will a man like Watanabe, lacking in strength, wits and courage, manage to survive in a land most foreign to him? This is my first time trying to share to the wider world what I’ve written, and I hope you’ll enjoy reading the errantry of Watanabe as much as I enjoy writing about them. I'll be posting one chapter per week on Sundays, along with extra chapters whenever I get the chance to write more than usual.
