《Era Of The Kobold》Volume 2 - Chapter 6
Advertisement
Taking the guy back with us was less of a challenge then I expected. Vyth did most of the heavy lifting, while I made sure the guards didn’t notice us. The drug addict did wake up every now and then, but Vyth just put him back to sleep with the butt of his spear. We walked through the alleyways, avoiding the occasional passing guard or furious street cat. There seemed to be far less guards now. I guess they gave up on searching for us.
We arrived back at the smithy. We snuck back in through the back window, where Eidechse was waiting for us.
“Well, well, well. You’re back faster than I expected. And you brought the bastard with you”, he said.
“It’s what you wanted, right?”, I responded.
“I would’ve been fine with retrieving him myself as long as you tied him”.
“You never said that!”.
“Oh. I must’ve forgotten it…”.
He looked away and scratched his chin as he said that. Guess lying isn’t his strong suit.
“Well, anyway. We’ve completed our part of the deal. So, we’re even now”.
“Yeah”, he said as he grabbed something from one of the racks. I got on edge. ‘Is he going to kill us now that we’re of no use to him?’, I thought. He turned around with the same sword Vyth tried to steal. I got ready for a fight, holding out my hand to cast a spell.
“What are you doing?”, Eidechse asked.
“Yeah, you okay, Oth?”, Vyth added.
I slowly lowered my hand and calmed down.
“Anyway. This is for you, Vyth. A little reward for dealing with this shithead”.
“Really?! Thank you!”
Vyth was ecstatic. He looked at the sword with glee, before swinging it around in the air.
“You’re not too bad. You’d make a fine warrior. You two must be tired. There’s a guest room upstairs. It’s at the end of the corridor, on the left”.

“Thanks”, we said in unison.
The next day, we woke up to the smell of roasted chicken. Eidechse had made breakfast. Well, lunch. We each got a large plate filled with chicken and potatoes.
“Eat up!”, Eidechse said.
“Thanks!”, we said.
The food was delicious! Far better than what we had at the… nest. It reminded me a bit of home. I had almost forgotten what food tasted like in my old world. Compared to this it was heavenly, but I guess I’ll never get to taste it again. I tried to forget about it and just enjoy the food.
“So, where are you two heading to next?”, Eidechse asked.
“No idea”, Vyth answered, “We’re just kinda wandering around”.
He’s far too trusting for his own good.
“So you have nowhere to go back to?”.
“No, we don’t”, I answered, “Why do you ask?”
“Out of curiosity…”.
“Oh, yeah!”, Vyth interrupted, “The guy we brought you was hugging a box that had some blue powder in it. Do you know what it is?”.
He stayed quiet for a moment. Staring in front of him. You could practically see the gears turning in his head. He let out a chuckle.
“You’re smarter than you let on, kid”, he said while looking at me.
“Wha…?”.
“You knew what that powder was, right? That’s why you almost attacked me yesterday. Why you’re acting so cold, despite the meal I’ve given you being so warm”.
“Tell me. W-where is that guy we brought you?”.
“Don’t worry. He’s not dead”.
“What did you do then?”.
“Can someone tell me what’s going on!”, Vyth interjected.
“That powder we found was a drug. It's something people take that messes with their brains. It’s usually dangerous and illegal. Which means, he’s not a good person”.

“Really? But he gave us that sword and food. What’s so bad about him?”.
“It’s just flattery. He’s trying to get us to like him. All, so we’ll do more jobs for him. Isn’t that right?”.
“Eh. I was gonna propose a deal. But, I wasn’t trying to flatter you. I’m not that bad of a guy, you know. I’m a criminal, but not scum”.
“Well, what was your deal going to be?”.
“Simple. You can live here and we’ll pay you, if you work with us. You guys were able to sneak into the arrombado’s house. You seem like capable thieves, don’tcha think?”.
“We’ll do it!”, Vyth said confidently.
“Are you sure?”, I asked.
“It’s better than living in the woods again. Besides, we’ll be stealing from humans, so it’s fine”.
“Hahahaha. You really hate them, huh? Just don’t let it get to your head. You’ll walk down a nasty path if you do”, Eidechse said.

Exiled Aristocrat
Synopsis. The story follows Ronandt, a young nobleman who, despite his noble origins, has never met his parents. Except for maybe at the time of his birth. He thus finds himself without parents at the Manor Rosetta, under the close supervision of Mathilda, his nanny, and Syrus, his Butler. Follow the adventures of Ronandt, a young nobleman like no other. This is a very slow-paced novel, so if you like slow character building and slow world-building, then this novel is for you. This is written in First Person PoV, but sometimes you'll find some chapter (generally extra-chapter) written in Third Person PoV. No OP mc, No Harem.

Where Giants Fall
A fantasy LitRPG about traversing through worlds and slaying giants with nothing but a wooden suit and an army of treants. Nicholas Atkins didn't expect to wake up naked in the glowing woods. What he did expect was waking up to a hangover after last night's party- fortunately, that wasn't the case. Unfortunately though, he had worse problems to take care of than a headache. At first he blamed it on the alcohol; from what he recalled in Biology, glowing flowers didn't exactly exist in the realm of reality. However he was as sober as he could be, so next he blamed the drugs, but there was a problem- he didn't have the money to do drugs in the first place. When the fairies came, things became even weirder. Talks of climbing towers, magic tricks, and dinner were all on the table. Of course, dinner was the priority, but so was getting back home. However slowly, Nico realized that he might actually want to stay in this fantasy world. After all, he's had enough listening to Professor Paul's lecture on calculus- the swords and sorceries were just an added bonus. Still, staying in this new world has its own costs- and money is but one thing on that long, long list. Updated everyday except Saturday GMT+8 (Specific time varies by around 30 minutes). Mon at 9:00 AM Tue at 12:00 PM Wed at 3:00 PM Thu at 6:00 PM Fri at 9:00 PM Sun at 12:00 AM

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

Mistakes Lead To Success
Mistakes were made and it led to the death of Natalie Freemen. Her soul was captured and cared for by an young god but such protection come with a cost. Instead of taking the original offer she decided to make a deal. She would rome the multiverse and steal the essence that thrives them. In return she could become a demigod. Updates at random Romance is not the focus but a major plot point. I will take suggestions and corrective criticism. *Important Note* This makes for sense as you read along. This story is created by the viewer but there is a twist. Some chapters are static, meaning that it is to propel the plot. Others have polls that will affect other chapters but without a question. This means you don't know what it effects or in which chapter. I wanted to added this effect to create a suspense, something I didn't feel as much in other reader interactive stories. Your vote could create fortune or misfortune for the main character. I know what it will effect because have a chart that tells me the possible routes. You just have to wait and see what your choice have done. I'll even write which poll effects the chapter in the authors note. Characters could die in the story and they won't be leads anymore. In comments you can ask for a detail chart for each poll but it will only be for one answer per poll. I will chose the most requested answer. I do not own the photo.
