Advertisement
Announcer: Well that was a scary arcana! But since Absko is restrained and unable to battle, Fang is the winner! Lastly, for our last match-up. This is today’s most anticipated matchup, featuring Maskrah’s Jural, who is rumored to be the most favored to win the whole thing! His opponent is Leo, who wasn’t spoken about until late, is rumored to be Academies trump card in this tournament, being trained to win!
-Chapter 109-
Leo is walking through the halls to the entrance and sees an older man awaiting his arrival. The older man has a crooked smile and hands Leo, a metal collar with a blue gem.
Older man: Here kid. It will boost your imagination and your arcana. I made it especially for you.
Leo grabs the item and looks at it, a clear annoyance in his eyes. A red mass bubbles from his hand around the brace and melts it down to molten metal. The old man’s eyes widen in disbelief and anger.
Older man: You little shit!
Leo: I don’t need your shitty ass magic items to win. I will never use anything made by you, father.
Leo walks into the battlefield, followed by Jural. Jural waves to the crowd with a smile, basking in their praise. They get into their positions.
Announcer: 3!
Leo: I apologize.
Announcer: 2!
Jural: For what?
Announcer: 1!
Leo: …
Announcer: Go!
Jural swings his arms to his sides, intense fire circles around him with the power of a supernova. But before he could do anything, Leo takes one step forward. His body boils up with searing red ooze. With one step, the ooze expands indefinitely around the battlefield, causing over half to be enveloped in its mass, it crawls up the walls, just falling shy of reaching the crowd. Jural’s head is the only thing visible in the mass of ooze. Jural’s face in shock, fear, and disbelief. Jural starts to feel a burning sensation from the ooze. Leo lifts a vial of green ooze and throws it at the red ooze. The vial breaks, and as the two oozes touch, the red shifts to green, easing the burning feeling. Leo sighs.

Leo: As I said earlier, I apologize. I took my anger out on you.
Jural’s breathing is staggered.
Jural: W-who is this guy?!
Announcer: I- I am at a loss for words! I was expecting a powerful awestriking match but that was completely one-sided!
The crowd is mostly silent, apart from the murmuring.
Announcer: I proclaim Leo as the winner!
The crowd begins to break the silence and applause in an uproar.
Announcer: And thus concludes the first round of the tournament! The second round will begin tomorrow bright and early! Everyone please leave in an orderly fashion, and pick up merchandise on your way out! Everyone, have a nice evening!

Edge Cases (Book 1 Complete!)
Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them. What even are all these errors? Our team of outcasts and adventurers will have to rely on their trust - and the bane of all stories, healthy communication - just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. Because they're quickly realizing that it's doing something; to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. And their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better. It's a good thing they're not doing it alone. --- Edge Cases is an attempt to take the LitRPG genre and the overpowered MCs trope and write a story where numbers aren't everything. Sometimes it takes trust, support, and just a touch of being very, very clever. Expect a mix of action, slice-of-life, friendship, and ominous worldbuilding. Updates M-W-F at 6pm EST. Cover art by Alovck of Artstation, and typesetting by jessessey right here on RoyalRoad.

The Bronze Players of Recreation
The world of Creation has seen a recent explosion of what can only be called an adventurer’s culture over the past few decades. People who were once looked at as nothing more than lower class mercenaries rose to the ranks of heroes and legends as adventuring became recognized as an idealized lifestyle of overcoming hardship and finding triumph. With the establishment of a guild-based government system on the continent of Terramania, adventurers were soon legitimized and adventuring became a phenomenon universally accepted around the world. Redlette had retreated from this world to live on Earth for the remainder of her years, having been born and outcast by the gods of Creation. However, upon meeting a friend that she treasured dearly, she found herself longing for a return to her world—she wanted to experience it properly and go on adventures with someone whom she holds dear. Putting a plan into action, she meets with her friend, an awkward, nerdy boy by the username of Herring who she’d only known through years of playing online games with him, and invites him to go on this fantastic adventure with her. An adventure in another world had always been an impossible dream for Herring, but when he suddenly found himself with the opportunity to embark on one, he knew it wouldn’t be as simple as books and shows made it out to be. Redlette was notorious for rushing into things without thinking them through, and he was flighty and weak. In the games they played together, they rarely grasped victory. They were losers through and through, both in hobby and life. Despite this, though, he takes the leap and sets off with Redlette into the world of Creation. Together they only had one goal: to have fun and go on the adventure of their lives. This time, they’d establish a guild of their own and be free to take on whatever exploits their hearts desired. This is the story of the founding of their guild. Author’s Notes: -My writing style is largely based off of the absurd amount of light novels I’ve read and anime I’ve watched, so it may come off as cartoonish or exaggerative at times. If that isn’t your thing, I’d steer clear of this story.-Not an MMO story.-No numerical stats.-Relatively slow pacing.-Posts are between 2000-5000 words weekly after Chapter 1.

Avatar: Jǫrðsaga
There is beauty in Chaos and serenity in Order. One cannot exist without the other. Each gives meaning to their counterpart, eternal rivals and eternal lovers. It’s a shame only a rare few ever come to this revelation. Most live their lives trapped in an illusion, their path to enlightenment forever cut off. A lie will forever remain a lie, no matter how sweet it is. I will not turn a blind eye to the truth of the world. It matters not what others think of me, be they family, friends, allies, or enemies. They may call me a monster, a devil, a lunatic even. But I will not bend. I will not break. I will not be forced into conformity under threat posed by the child of Order. Because what is Order if not Chaos’ accomplice? There is only one path worth treading, and I will do whatever it takes to advance forward. For I am Sǫlmundr, Lord of the Earth. Avatar series fanfic. The first volume will not have anything canon. I apologise in advance. It will be setting up the mcs background and origins. It’s gonna be between 60 to 70 chapters in length. The power system in the avatar is pretty non-confrontational. You don’t have to fight for resources like in cultivation novels, so the frequency of his evil acts will be pretty spread out. This is a slow burn novel that I hope will draw readers into the world and slowly build up to whatever the climax of each arc is. I can only promise that he will always be a rational, benefits based mc. No harem. There will be love of some sort, but only because I’m literally forced by the power system to include it. Don’t worry though, mc will always prioritise his own interests first and will not let feelings get in the way. Chapter length: ≈ 2k words Updates: Once a week
