The journey starts
The morning came and finally it was time for my departure. Albert and is family were giving me the last farewells. He came close to me and shook my hand.
“Farewell sir Caligo. I will be forever be in debt with you for saving the life of my daughter. If you wish, please visit us again and we’ll gladly offer you hospitality.”(Albert)
“It’s as Albert says. Please be careful on your way. And please take these moneys for the entrance pass.”(Eleanor)
Eleanor gave me two silver coins for the card, bowed slightly with her head and stepped back while I thanked her. With the pass a normal citizen had to pay only five copper coins to enter.
Next was Elaine. She on the other hand had a sad look on her face and was clearly displeased by my departure.
“Sir Caligo… will we meet again?”(Elaine)
“Yes, I’ll try to return here when I can”(me)
She nodded slightly and smiled a little at me.
Having said that I departed from the village. My destination was Deinir, the closest city to the village of Gleaming Wood and on the same way to the capital of Dilmor.
With the information given to me by Albert I learned that, one of the major organization of the 3 human countries, is the adventurer guild. By registering here I would be able to cross the borders and enter the cities free of charges, that was my first objective.
I turned invisible and started to fly in the direction of the city at moderate speed, after all I am in this world for fun and the scenery is very beautiful. For a native of our world, the sight of so much green is a rare view.
The city was distant a day of carriage but, since I was flying, I could see the wall of the city in 3 hours.

The walls were high roughly 25 meters and the city had a population of 15000 habitants.
I lowered myself to the ground returning visible and made my way toward the Deinir. I reached the gates 15 minutes later where two guards stood on each side of the entrance.
When I stepped closer one of the guards raised the end.
“Halt! Give me your identification pass and state your business!”(guard)
“I am here to register to the adventurer guild. I don’t have an identification pass can I make one?”(me)
“Yes, give me two silver coins and wait here.”(guard)
I handed him the money and waited here, after 10 minutes or so he returned with a rectangular card made of a material similar to ceramic.
“Here. With this you can enter in the city. The adventurer guild is the large building to the right. If you want a place to sleep there is a cheap inn right in front of the guild.”(guard)
“Thanks you.”(me)
In the streets quite a few of the people started observing me, the majority of which were females… strange.
I followed the instructions of the guard and easily found the building. I entered without hesitation and what greeted my sight was a large room full of table similar to a tavern. On the left there was a quest bulletin board full of sheets. At the end of the of the room, there was a lady in working clothes of roughly 22 years and a reception. I made my way towards her.
“Welcome. How may I help you?”(receptionist)
“I’m here to register to the guild”(me)
A fine looking man in full armor surrounded by beautiful girls that was seated close to the reception, snorted trying to mock me but I ignored him.
“Of course. Please sign these.”(receptionist)

She handed me a sheet for the personal details. Initially I couldn’t understand the letters, but soon the characters started to turn in my language and I started to complete the blank spaces with my name, age and race, I returned it to the receptionist.
“Please wait a moment.”(receptionist)
She disappeared behind a door and I stood here. The asshol- *cough *… the fine looking man raised from his seat and approached me with a confident smile and the girls following.
“-*Sigh * here comes the spoiled child.-”(me)
“Why is a weakling like you trying to register in the guild.”(asshole)
I turned to him and raised my brow. I scanned him and his mana was higher than that of the other adventurers, still less than the bear that I killed. Next I observed the girls. The first one was a cat girl, she had short white hairs with cat ears and a tail the height was about 5 feet and half, she carried a 2 rapiers on her waist and wore a leather armor. The other was a human girl with brown hairs and honey coloured eyes of 6 feet with a partial armor and a large sword on her back
The last one wore a robe with a hood that covered her face and was a little taller than the cat girl.
The mana of the first two girls was higher than the man, but the mana of the last one was even the double than the bear’s.
“DON’T IGNORE ME!!!”(???)
Ah right... the asshole. His face was red like a tomato and it looked like he was about to explode.
I should try to calm him down, I don’t want trouble so soon.
“Can I know what do you want asshole?”(me)
Ops… it wasn’t on purpose… maybe...
He pulled out his sword and charged at me with inhuman speed and slashed his sword toward my shoulders. I simply stood there and blocked the strike with my power in mid air.
Then I waved my hand at him as if shooing a cat. He watched me for a moment confused at his failed strike and then at my hand. He was suddenly thrown trough the building like a cannon ball and stroke the wall at full force, leaving a big hole and landing in the street.
I felt a gaze on me so I watched my surroundings and noticed that everyone was watching at me with their mouths agape. Shit…an excuse… an excuse…
The receptionist returned and looked confused at hole in the wall and then at me.
“Ooops… He tripped.”(me)
“AS IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE!!!”(Everyone)

The Prince of Cats
To stay alive, Jawad must succeed where all others have failed: he must catch the Prince of Cats. More legend than man, the Prince is draped in rumours. He can steal the silver teeth from your mouth in the blink of a smile. He is a ghost to walls and vaults, he laughs at locks, and Jawad must capture him before powerful people lose their patience and send the young rogue to the scaffold.Ever the opportunist, Jawad begins his hunt while carrying out his own schemes. He pits the factions of the city against each other, lining his own pockets in the process and using the Prince as a scapegoat. This is made easy as nobody knows when or where the Prince will strike, or even why.As plots collide, Jawad finds himself pressured from all sides. Aristocrats, cutthroats, and the Prince himself is breathing down his neck. Unless Jawad wants a knife in his back or an appointment with the executioner, he must answer three questions: Who is the Prince of Cats, what is his true purpose, and how can he be stopped? The Prince of Cats is set in the same world as my other fiction, The Eagle's Flight, but the two stories are not connected. The full story has been uploaded. Information and a map of the city can be found here. There is also an interactive storybook app inspired by The Prince of Cats. The full story can be played for free. Download for Android or for iPhone.
8 72Millennial Mage (A Slice of Life, Progression Fantasy)
The world is wild, untamed. Humanity thrives, but only in isolated, well defended cities, ever shrinking as the wilds slowly reclaim all that was taken. The most capable magic users are raised up as Mages to serve mankind, further their cause, and defend them over the course of millennia. Tala is freshly graduated from the magic academy and determined to make her own way in the world. She hopes to pay off her massive debts, quickly, but still plans on living each and every day to the fullest. Too bad the Academy left some glaring holes in her practical education. Loath to let that slow her down, and with no patience for a standard, low-paid apprenticeship (intended to fill many of those knowledge gaps), Tala strives to learn and improve as rapidly as she can on her own. Her unorthodox methods for preserving her own life allow her to take greater risks in search of profit and advancement, much to the surprise of those around her. I do hope you enjoy this tale, but let me know what you think either way! Critique, both positive and negative, is welcome. Release schedule is weekly: M-W-F Thank you for your time and for giving this story a try.

8 169Grey Worlds
A mysterious incident occurred on a otherwise normal science centered world where all of the children from the age range of eight to sixteen suddenly vanished. “Where have their kids gone and will they ever return?” The now childless parents never got to really ask that question, because a strange new element replaced their lost children. This element slowly mutated the various animals that they once ruled over with their technology to the point that they were immune to their modern weaponry. The barren land of savages on a continent far away from theirs also had their children taken, but they easily mutated just like the beasts and only grew stronger thanks to the incident. A revolution of animals eventually took place after the mutations started to cause the animals to understand just how badly the humans ruined their lives and planet. Humans were the slowest to figure out how to use this strange new element to evolve, while their opponents were evolving and growing stronger by the day they couldn’t even surpass their modern technology. When humanity was on the brink of extinction a long forgotten event finally ended and their children finally started to return from the various worlds they were summoned to! It turns out that the mysterious new element that they didn’t know what to call was mana and that it’s everywhere in some fantasy planets. The children brought back a increase in technology and techniques to grow stronger with, which caused the humans to finally be able to build safe havens for their race. They grew stronger and started to finally adapt to their brand new environment. This is the story of a orphan who was taken away from his world, before he could gain a sense of attachment to the world. Who only has his older sister to care about and how he ends up adapting to the new world in front of him.------------------Dog notes by doggo First 'five' chapters aren't what the story is really about and is more of a prologue. The reason why some are separated into parts is because Doggo originally posted them as a entire chapter. The main setting is Ghost's actual world and not any foreign world. So this story was already posted once to another site or this site three years ago… and Dog is finally ending that three year hiatus! The explanation on why Dog was on a three year hiatus would of been written in the review section, but rrl doesn't allow self reviews. I'd have to create a alt just to self review which they obviously don't want even tho I'd not give myself any stars so its going to be here instead. The update schedule is a chapter a week till Dog get a editor and then two chapters a week till Dog gets enough money to pay for Dog’s bills. The final goal is to release a chapter every other day. Dog writes 4k word chapters so they are about twice as long as some of the other authors so every other day is actually more like once a day. ------------------- The part that was supposed to be the 'review' which Dog wont bother editing out repeat infomation since it wasn't supposed to go here in the first place. The first thing Dog will go over is what changed for the first 5 chapters, so that anyone who still remembers Dog's little novel and wants to continue from where Dog originally left off can decide whether or not to reread it. Also Dog is moving over to qidan simply because dog like the app they have. Dog won't go premium even if Qidan tells dog to and will simply move back to royalroad or create a blog.The things that changed over the years are mainly two important things. The first is that Dog changed the first person point of view to a third person, because Dog read a really bad first person novel and it reminded dog of dogs own novel. Dog also changed the thoughts of the character to be - - instead of italics. Finally dog changed chapter 3 completely to make the mc not seem like a homicidal maniac and introduced a important character in chapter 3.What happened to do in the three years that dog was away? Was dog at college and now needs money to eat? Was dog off in space after successfully becoming a astronaut and has now returned home with a completed novel or two? The answer is actually quite plain dog graduated from highschool and was supposed to only spend a year at dogs owners house to choose what major dog wanted to go to college for.Dog didn't do that and is still stuck with dogs owners and is sick of being a neet. Dog wants to move and buy doggy food, but dog is antisocial and doesn't want to work a simple 9 to 5 job for the rest of dogs life. Dog is a reader before dog is a author and the reason why dog got into writing was because dog wanted to write a novel without all the things dog finds annoying. Dog spent the first year reading various novels and dropping various novels. Dog is all caught up and has to much free time on dogs paws. The first year that Dog took off was the very same year that qidan came out so dog was naturally overloaded with free chapters. But now that pemium exists dog naturally has to limit the amount dog can read. Dog is addicted to reading like my very own readers and can understand your frustrations for dog disappearing for 3 years.Dog decided that dog will go back to writing 2 years ago. Dog wanted a decent stockpile incase dog has any other emergency so dog didn't post for a year but then dog decided to change the point of view which took another year.Dog has a patreon page https://www.patreon.com/mclaindog but there isn't any tiers there or goals till dog gets a editor. My final goal is to release a chapter every other day, but as long as Dog gets a editor Dog will do two free chapters a week.Dog will probably also make a kofi for anyone who just wants to send dog a tip and can't afford to donate money monthly while maybe having bonus chapters if the tip jar gets filled.
