《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 42 - Ding Chunqiu (Tian Long Ba Bu)
Advertisement
Before they enter the grounds of the Deaf Mute Sect, Shang uses the cosmetic skills which he have obtained from Ah Zhu to change Ah Zi’s appearance into Ah Zhu's.
Ah Zi: Why should I become my elder sister?
Ah Zi says as she comes out from a nearby bush after changing into the clothing which Shang provided her.
Shang: I don’t mind if you don’t change. Ding Chunqiu would be glad to see you again.
Ah Zi: I rather die than see him again!
Shang: So have you done changing?
Ah Zi: I’m done. Here you go.
Ah Zi hands over her original clothes to Shang.
Shang: Remember, right now you are Ah Zhu. You are one of Murong Family's maids who is accompanying your young lady, Wang Yuyan.
Ah Zi: Got it.
The clothes disappear after Shang holds them.
Ah Zi: Mister Shang, you should teach me this martial art. It looks useful when traveling afar.
Shang: Inside Sleeves’ Universe (Xiu Li Qian-kun) is not good as you think. I am only hiding your clothes inside my sleeves.
Ah Zi: But I don’t see the anything bulging from your sleeves.
Shang: I leave it to you to figure it out.
Shang’s thoughts: I cannot tell you it’s not a martial art, can I?
Shang walks off with Yuyan, leaving Ah Zi to walk behind them.
Upon reaching the grounds of the sect, Shang and the others just managed to see Murong Fu being absorbed in the chess-game, Zhen Long while others are watching him.
All of a sudden, Murong Fu start screaming and pulling out his sword.
Murong Fu: Murong Family is finished! Everything I have done is gone like a dream. I should as well end my life.
Shang’s thoughts: I knew it. This chess game has the same effect as Katanagatari’s Seitou, Hakari.

Before Murong Fu commits suicide by stabbing himself in the throat and Duan Yu was about to stop him, a loud voice is heard.
Shang: WAKE UP, IDIOT!
When Shang shouts, it was not a normal voice that comes out from his mouth. It’s actually a one of the seventy two Shaolin martial techniques, Vajra Dhyana Lion Roar (Jin-gang-chan Shi-zi-hou) that does not have the Foist Intent. Without the intent, It is just a Lion Roaring Skill (Shi-hou-gong).
Fu and the others are startled by the voice and all of them look at Shang.
Fu: Teacher.
Fu drops his sword and gives a bow to Shang.
????: Did Murong Fu say Teacher?
????: So that is the teacher of Murong of the South.
????: But does that guy look too young to be a teacher?
????: Who knows, he might be older than he looks…
Yuyan: Elder cousin, are you alright?
Yuyan runs to Murong Fu and says.
Murong Family’s four generals walk from the crowd and give a bow to Shang.
Four Generals: Deng Baichuan (Gong Yegan, Bao Butong, Feng Bo-e) thanks Mister Shang for saving our young master.
Duan Yu also stands out and gives a bow.
Duan Yu: Teacher.
Yanqing: This is will be interesting. Even Mister Shang of the Xuan Wu Sect is here.
The head of the Four Great Villains, Duan Yanqing who is there with the other three villains, speaks without opening his mouth.
Jiumozhi’s thoughts: So this is the man Murong Bo has trouble dealing with. He doesn’t look like a martial expert but that martial art he just used tells me he’s stronger than a normal martial expert.
Jiumozhi who is also known as the The Great Wheel Wisdom King was the one who tried to get Six Meridian Swords from Duan Yu who was later rescued by Ah Zhu and another maid. He is also one of the challengers for the chess game.

????: Interesting, interesting.
An elderly man who is standing and holding a feather fan, starts speaking.
????: I did not expect to see a martial expert at a very young age. Time passes very fast, am i right, Senior?
The elderly man speaks to the other elderly man who is sitting on a stone seat.
????:...
The sitting elderly man remains silent and acts like no one is speaking to him.
The standing elderly man smiles to that response and moves towards Shang.
Shang who is receiving the bows, notices an elderly man walking towards him.
Shang knows the elderly man and even knows which sect he is from.
Shang’s thoughts: Head of Constellation Sect, Ding Chunqiu.

Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
8 202Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

Marcus Chandler was just wandering through the woods when he found a mysterious artifact, and an equally strange journal that doesn’t clear up a lot. What it did do, was set off a magical trap that threw him into the Medieval world of Hrot. Since then, He’s been running from one world to another along the inter-planar trading roads, meeting cute girls all along the way. With the arrival of the Cyborg bounty hunter Stripes though, his life just got a lot more complicated, not that juggling the affections of two girls wasn’t enough. He found out there’s some Wizards from the wastelands of Maligtyr that want the artifact he has. Add to that, he feels a little guilty using the artifact’s powers on Stripes, so he’s offered to help square her debt, and save the life of her younger brother. And those are just the problems he knows about. (Updates Twice a week, theoretically Tuesday-ish and Saturday-ish)
