《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 23 - Ten years
Advertisement
Chencai: It’s complicated and you wouldn't want to hear it.
Shang’s thoughts: If complicacy can be the reason for everything, do we still need the police?
Shang: I don’t see how a family member of yours would be used by someone else.
Shang says while watching Yuancai’s men who are running out of the shop
Chencai: I did warn him about his friends, but he just wouldn’t listen.
Shang: In other words, he’s worthless to the Wang Family.
Chencai: He’s worthless, but he is still my brother,
Shang: Are you sure you want to take care of someone like him for the rest of your life?
Chencai: If my father is not the head of the family, I would gladly lock him up in the house forever.
Shang: So how did you drag my business into this messy family feud of yours?
Chencai: Don’t blame me. You should be blaming the Pill Academy.
Shang: Pill Academy?
Chencai: They discover how to use pill alchemy on your red medicine. Due to your shop rules, they are unable to stock up as much as they want, so they try to buy from others at a higher price.
Chencai takes a little jade bottle and hands it over to Shang.
Shang uncorks the jade bottle and puts the pill in his other hand.
Shang: Hmm.
Chencai: How is it?
Shang: Looks like they succeed in turning the red medicine into powder form.
Chencai: And?
Shang: The side effect of the pill residue is still there.
Chencai: Impossible!
Chencai: They did a demonstration of eating more than one at one go and there are no side effects shown.
Shang: Probably the red powder’s effect.
Shang: The red powder heals the body damage which is caused by the pill residue. Once they stopped taking it, the pill residue will start poisoning the body.

Shang: And then you know what will happen.
Chencai:........
????: Third Young Master Wang!
A young man runs into the shop.
Young man: There is an incident on the grounds of the Pill Academy!
Chencai: I already know. You can leave now.
The young man immediately gives a short greeting and leaves the shop
Chencai: I was right to trust my gut.
Shang: If my gut can be that useful, I would have just closed shop and lived indoors.
Chencai: Please don’t joke about closing shop. My family is relying on you to survive.
Shang: Then I have bad news for you.
Chencai: What bad news?
There was sudden shouting outside the shop.
Shang: I think we will talk about it later.
Shang steps out of the shop.
Chencai: Why me?
Chencai follows Shang along with his men.
Some time later, several men were reported being thrown up to the sky for several times.
After Shang has settled with Wang, he returns to shop and sees Nanami talking to Xiao-wan by the counter.
Nanami sees Shang and ends the conversation by walking away.
Xiao-wan notices Nanami’s reaction and looks at approaching Shang.
Xiao-wan: Shang, I…
Shang: Ten years.
Xiao-wan: Eh?
Shang: If your feelings have not changed for me after ten years, I will accept them. Is it alright with you?
Xiao-wan: Really? Promise?
Shang: Promise.
Xiao-wan: Let it be ten or fifteen years, my feelings for you will not change.
Shang: I will wait.
Shang walks to the stairs.
Xiao-wan: Ten years…. I hope time flies faster...
Xiao-wan thinks as she sees Shang walks away.

Blood Quest - A LitRPG
Leon's family has been diagnosed with a new type of incurable blood disease. It's an absolute death sentence and when it turns aggressive, you only have a few more years of painful life left to live. His mother has just begun the last years of the disease when a person supposedly comes back from death with supernatural abilities. He talks about a choice you get after death--get an extra chance to come back to life, or die. Even with Leon's diminishing life span, he won't consider the option of going there, until he meets another survivor who had the same goal as him and succeeded. Leon has a choice to make—die now for a chance to save his mother, or die in a few years, where the disease rapidly melts his muscles from his own body. He enters a game-like world, a sort of limbo, where his ultimate goal is to climb the tower of Katastroph before his mother's time runs out. There are a few problems with this though. The tower is almost impossible to beat, if you die you won't revive, and only three people in over twenty years have actually made it back. Leon has two years to climb the tower, with the help of the few people willing to try, while Ai, the tutorial guide, makes things harder for them. ***** The story starts pretty dark but goes onto a lighter tone. Then (more) dark again. Disclaimer: This story is an experimental project and I hope to get any and all feedback you can give me. Warning: First draft. Chapters tend to be between 3400-4100 words long (about 8-11 A4-pages). Mentioning it since I've seen it in other fictions :P Sometimes they're shorter, sometimes they're longer. ******************************** CHAPTER RELEASES UPDATE: As the first "book" in the series is done, I'm going to release coming chapters somewhat sporadically, and when Writathon ends, I'll probably go back to publishing one chapter per weekend. We'll just have to wait and see! I hope you enjoy the story! I really appreciate all comments and feedback, so if you have anything to say, feel free to voice it :) ************ [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Dungeon Instinct
The multiverse is a big place, and it is also constantly in flux. As such sometimes mistakes occur, impossibilities that should have never come into existence. An aspect of corruption born naturally of a mortal and a divine, a Void that is a singularity instead of a duality, a being that came to be before existence ever was, a forgotten that is not damned, the possibilities are infinite and limitless, and thus so are the possible mistakes in this grand multiverse. But are not mistakes more entertaining to watch? For Kelic the Blightborn, life was suffering. Born of a holy Templar dedicated to serving the Forgotten Guardian and a powerful abyssal demon queen that raped said Templar, Kelic’s first sight and sensation in Quellios and its realms was being baptized in the life-blood of his dying father. Tortured in the 1425th level of the abyss for ten years, Kelic was only set free of this constant nightmare of an existence by the unintended results of the Ascendant Angel’s rise to true divinity. His freedom from the abyss was not the paradise that the young Kelic thought however, as he was branded a BlightBorn, or a child of tragedy that brings only misfortune, by the people of Quellios. Abused by all he ever knew or met the boy found solace in only in the things of beauty and the act of reading, a skill he taught himself. His latent ability to comprehend and remember all of what he read and the sheer speed of his reading gained the attention of a prominent figure of Evrette Academy Island. Taken in by the famous mage Fredrick Dunhousen, Kelic lived in peace for the first time in his young life… that is until he was killed. Follow the tale of a newly born dungeon core in the world of Eserthet, that has only one single purpose. One single purpose it decided for itself...
