《I've Transmigrated... with a Broken System》Chapter 8: Finally, a Bed.
Advertisement
'Of course I would get public, bloody, speaking!' Renard was truly enraged, he just wanted to become powerful, 'Why must this system constantly screw me over?' Renard knew that he must calm down, he needed to get away from Kyle's shop and find somewhere to sleep. It was only after he calmed down a little, that the feeling of tiredness hit his body like a pile of bricks. He was suddenly craving the feeling of sleep. To drift away into beautiful dreams, a place where the system couldn't get him.
Renard looked around and headed down the East Road. It seemed the best way for him to go as it was the closest. He hoped that there would be a tavern or somewhere he could stay, down the street. Without hesitation he headed down the road, he didn't even want to take a look behind, just in case Kyle had come out the shop and was there.
It was easy to locate the taverns in a place like this, as they would be the only place with their lights still up at this time. This was because most normal people would have already gone to sleep, leaving only those hard workers awake who would always stay up and drink their worries and tiredness away.
Unluckily for Renard, it seemed as though there was only one tavern on this road. However, it seemed like quite large, so they should provide lodging. The tavern was called 'The Misty Tree' it had a big sign board outside with a big tree carved on it.
Renard pushed on the doors and stepped in to the room. On the left was a large bar that span the entire side of the building, the bar tender was talking to two patrons who had a drink in their hands. There were five or six tables littered around the room, with varying amount of wooden chairs at each.

At the back wall was a set of stairs going upwards, a sign hung next to is saying lodging. Renard was happy, he finally knew a bed was in sight. He stumbled towards the counter, the bar keep noticed this and walked over to him.
"What can I get for ya? You here for a drink or a room?" The bar keep was tall and had thick arms, he was probably a hunter by day and ran the bar at night. He was a fairly simple man as he got straight to the point without any blabber.
Renard quickly replied, not wanting to waste the man's time, "I am looking for a room I can use for a few days. How much?"
"5 Silver a night for the regular or 8 Silver for the large one. The large one has a bigger bed and is more comfortable. Which do you want and how long are you staying?" He was straight to the point, Renard was relieved at this as all the people he had met recently had been far too confusing.
"I will take the 8 silver one, I plan to use the room for six days. Here, I require 2 silver change." He handed over 5 gold coins. In this world, 10 bronze coins was equivalent to 1 silver, 10 sliver to 1 gold and 10 gold to 1 platinum.
The bar keeps eyes seemed to glow a little, 'I didn't expect that to work, haha, that room is barely worth 3 silver a night.'
He then handed over 2 silver to Renard and said, "Amanda will show you to your room. She has the key, take it from her when you get there and give it back to her when you leave."
A girl stepped out from behind the end of the bar, she was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. The bar keep saw the girl step out and returned to his conversation with the other patrons.

Renard felt a slight singe in his heart, he had a slight fear towards women after the whole Lucy incident. However, knowing that a nice bed awaited him, his building fatigue finally forced him forward. Once he reached the stairs he spoke out to Amanda. "Please take me to my room, I just want to sleep."
Amanda was somewhat shocked, she had seen how the rich people acted when they saw her. She had been violated by their eyes many times, but she was used to it. It was part of the reason the bar keep kept her on, her tolerance was very high. She was shocked as this young man didn't even try anything, he just said he wanted to sleep.
"Please follow me, I will show you to your room." Amanda said.
After walking up the stairs Renard was about to drop to the floor. 'Who knew that stairs would drain the last of my energy.' Thankfully, the first door they came across was his room.
"This is your key, if you need anything just come and find me downstairs. Please don't lose the key or you will have to pay for a replacement." Amanda was well trained and spoke in a chirpy tone despite Renard's lifeless eyes.
As Amanda started to leave Renard, who was not thinking straight at all, decided to ask a question. "You're not a boy too are you?"
"I'm sorry, I don't think I understand. What do you mean by that?" Amanda was confused, but the priority was the customer, she didn't want to make him mad so she answered as calmly as she could.
"This is important, I need to know!" Renard was getting frustrated, he sluggishly managed to slouch his arm into Amanda's crotch, or that's what he thought, it was actually Amanda's knee.
"I'm safe, not a boy. Goodnight Amanda." Renard closed the door and fell onto the bed, he was so tired he fell asleep straight away.
Amanda stood there in shock. This wasn't the weirdest thing that had happened to her here. It was still something really weird though, 'If he wanted to make a move on me, he would have just dragged me into the room. Why is that man such a weirdo and touched my knees....'
Renard was having happy dreams, he danced in a field and was singing, "I am safe, she isn't a boy. Fake women don't exist in this world. Lucy didn't trick me. YAY." However, these were all just assumptions made by Renard to make himself feel better. Realistically, he had no idea.

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! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.
