“What the … damn mosquitoes.”
Bbzzzz
“Fuck off!”
Bbzzzz
“Come a little closer.”
Bbzzzz
SMACK!!!
“Ouch!”
“Ouch? Mosquitoes don’t go ouch! Also … I’m in the other world … there aren’t supposed to be any mosqui … what in the …”
Ah. Finally, the light is on.
This looks like Ira’s quarters.
Is that … aww, she’s so cute! Look at her white, shiny hair!
That’s not what you should be focusing on right now.
“What the fuck!”
Oh, he’s approaching her.
And why do I understand their demonic tongue so clearly all of a sudden?
I’ve helped you with it. But now is not the time to think about that. You should focus on what is in front of you.
“You are the most strange bug I ever seed.”
“I’m not a bug, you dumb fool!”
“Oh! And you talk.”
“Of course I do! What did you think, that I was about to stridulate?”
“Never seed a bug that talks.”
“And I’ve never seen a dragon that’s…”
“What?”
“You’re one strange dragon.”
“Oh no. It is retarded.”
“What does that even mean? Ahh, my head! Why in a world would you smack a cute, little fairy like that? What are you, some kind of a demon?”
“You are buzzing. It is your fault.”
“Of course my wings will buzz! These are small and light, so I have to flap them fast! Besides, who hits a lucky buzzer? That’s how everyone knows we’re close.”
“Sorry. I thinked you are a blood-drinking bug.”
“A blood-drinking bug! You’re… wait … what is going on here?”
“Yes, good question.”
“Why in a … what, why are you … you don’t…”
Is he …
Yes, he’s closing the windows.

“Umm, I … you’re a dragon, right?”
“No, I am not. You think I look like one?”
“But you have a dragon’s soul.”
Now that’s a creepy smile.
“While that sounds nice, I do not have dragon’s soul.”
“That … it makes no …”
“What are you doing here?”
“I … I got curious about these new creatures. I noticed there’s a dragon among them, so I thought I’d ask you some questions.”
“You geted the wrong person.”
“No, I’m… I don’t know what happened to you, but …”
“It is not important.”
“Did you … oh, I see! Ohh! That’s impressive!”
“What?”
“You’ve managed to seal it somehow! Are you a mage?”
“No.”
“You got mana!”
“I am not a mage. More important, it is not nice to enter people’s room while they are sleeping.”
“Sorry. I didn’t feel like risking it during the day. Everyone would see me flying, and I didn’t feel like risking it with these new creatures. By the way, what are they? Well, first, I guess I should ask: what are you? Since it looks like you’re the one in control.”
“Many are thinking I am a demon.”
“No, that’s… you don’t have demonic mana.”
“That is what they are thinking.”
“Why do you talk like that? And why are you talking in the timkik tongue? I’m much more fluent in the common tongue, if you don’t know the fay one.”
“I only know timkik tongue.”
“But you’re not a timkik!”
“They teached me that one.”
“Where were you born?”
“In the other world.”
“Oh … ohhh! So this is what you look like! It certainly explains your weird appearance.”
“Weird?”
“You look like an offspring of an elf and a hobbit. If they could ever have one.”
“Thanks. They called me bader things.”
“Why would anyone think you’re a demon though? Even though you look strange, you don’t look like one.”

“They think our world is hell.”
“Is it burning a lot?”
“No. It is frozen.”
“Ah.”
“But only small part. Near the portal.”
“And where’s the portal?”
“Not so close. What about you? Where are you borned?”
“I come from the Sanddiac forest! It’s a long way from here. It’s a beautiful place, but quite boring. So I like traveling from time to time. Mortals are always glad to see a fairy, and they always treat me well. Although, they become bothersome if I spend too much time with them.”
“Why are you here? Just curious?”
“Yes. Some of my friends sensed an enormous concentration of mana. I was curious about it, so I went to see what that’s all about. On the way, I learned that timkiks have opened a portal, and some strange creatures are coming through it. So I wanted to see what kind of creatures you are.”
“You are very sus … susp … not a believable story.”
“Why not? What, you wouldn’t travel the world if you’d hear about a possible world-changing adventure? Oh, I see! You don’t have the wings! And your appearance would creep people out. I guess my story does sound unbelievable to you.”
“Adventure is dangerous. And you are small.”
“I’m not helpless! We fairies may be small, but we’re some of the most gifted creatures when it comes to magic! Check this out! Diva nevidljiva!”
Oh! She disappeared!
“Ha, ha! You can’t find me now! And if you can’t find me, you can’t hurt me! Hold on! Wait! Wait!”
“Catch you.”
“How did you …”
“You have shadow.”
“What … oh. I guess I do …”
“Still, that is impressive. I admit.”
“That’s just a little taste of what I can do!”
“You know what. You want to know more about us. And I want to know more about you. My friends will also want to see you.”
“Of course they will! Everyone wants to see a fairy!”
“So, why not stay here for some time? Take you around this place. Show you things and people. You show us more of what you can do. Do you like to play?”
Bbzzzz
“Who doesn’t? Wait, why are you tapping my head with your finger?”
“I am patting you.”
“I’m not a child!”
“That I can see. You are small, but those are big.”
“Hey, stop it! I’m a magical creature! But, then again … you do have a dragon’s soul …”
“Just watch, not touch.”
“You’re too big for me anyway. And too creepy.”
“That hurts. By the way, what is your name?”
“Oh … I guess we didn’t introduce ourselves properly yet. Name’s Liri! A brilliant name, isn’t it? But I guess you only know the timkik tongue, so its meaning eludes you. What’s yours?”
“My name is Ira.”
“Just that? Ira?”
“It have only one voice less than your name.”
“Yes, but mine is a shorthand combination of two words.”
“My have different meaning depending on the tongue.”
“Ohh … so, it’s like an interracial name?”
“You can say that.”
“Does that mean there are several different races here? Not everyone here looks like you?”
“Yes and no.”
“What do you mean?”
“We have different races but not different species.”
“What is that?”
“Think of elves. There are high elves, sun elves, wood elves. Those are races. But elves in general are species.”
“Huh. That’s an interesting way to look at it. So, there are different races here, but all of them are somewhat similar to each other.”
“True.”
“That’s very interesting! When can I meet them?”
“Not in the dead of night.”

The End of Disappointment
What happens when the hero's journey ends with disappointment instead of happily ever after? Ghost. Butcher. Murderer. Some men attract names like flies, and Ryu Ishida unfortunately finds himself among their number. Once the son of a noble house, he knows firsthand what the quest for power in the world of the Rings can do to a man’s mind, yet he can only continue down the bloody path he started long ago, hoping that at its finish, he’ll find the end to his disappointment. Four hundred years after a portion of humanity was ripped from Earth and thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and swords, whatever cruel gods rule the Rings are stirring once more, and with them comes the chaos of progress. Monsters roam the land. Corruption breeds unchecked. Murderers slay their way to the heights of power. Ryu’s life could only be described as disappointing. Updates: 2-3 times a week. *Author Note: This story does not continue with the paint by the numbers Class LitRPG system for long, so while it technically is LitRPG, it is definitely on the less traditional side (or so I hope). Also, the cover art isn't mine.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
