《Coin Event》Chapter 1: Coin Event
Advertisement
Otake Katsuro is an average-looking 20-year-old male, he was in his second year of college barely able to live on the amount of money he makes from his job.
Kasturo works at a grocery store and usually works at night since that’s the only time he can since he has school in the afternoon.
Kasturo just got off his shift it was 2 am, he had worked less on this day due to the night manager sending him home early.
He was walking when someone in all black approached him, he was cautious of the man and asked him what he wanted.
“Do you need anything?”
“No, but here, give me your hand,” said the strange man
“Okay?”
“This coin here is one of a kind it’s unique but its self is worth nothing”
“Then why do you want me to have this?”
“I am the richest man in the world”
The strange man took off his hood and showed his face
“Wait, you’re Tokuda Tatsuo the richest man in the world right now”
“What are you doing here?”
“I don’t have much time to live so I wanted someone to inherit that isn’t a part of my family”
“So I decided to let the whole world get a chance on getting all my money”
“In an hour I will announce the coin I gave you and that whoever returns the coin back to me after a week since announcing it will inheritance my money”
“I won’t accept the coin before the week is over though”
“Wait but why are you giving me the coin”
“Well because you were the first person I saw and you look like you could use the money too”
“Well your not wrong but won't people come for me”

“Well that not my problem but at the end of the day if you want you could give someone else the coin”
“Well I do need the money so I don’t think I’ll do that”
“Then expect people to come for you”
“There will be rules of course like me only accepting the coin after a week but I’ll announce them when I announce the coin too”
“I will tell you this though since your the starter of this event”
“You could create a group of people to help you and split the money between you guys but that depends on the person who returns the coin to me”
“Also laws are unprohibited which means killing will be allowed along with other crimes”
“It will only last until I get the coin back so everything will return back to normal after this event”
“Any questions before your one hour starts young man?”
“Wait so I can kill and do other crimes within the week?”
“Well yes but it only applies to people who are participating in the event”
“How do you sign yourself up for the event?”
“Well for you since you have the coin you were entered at random but others will sign a form online to play in the event”
“Oh okay then that makes sense”
“Can I hide the coin somewhere?”
“No you cannot the coin needs to be with someone”
“I will know if someone has it so don’t try hiding it”
“You can have other people carry it for you, it’s on you of course if you trust them”
“By the way since your the first person to hold the coin, you could have my number to ask me for anything”
“Wait can I ask you one last thing?”
“What is it, young man?”

“What should I do if I can’t a home to hide because of money problems?”
“Oh don’t worry I have people working for me that know of the coin around the world and just show them the coin and they will let you get anything you need”
“That’s the power of the coin”
“Well goodbye and good luck your one hour starts now get going”
“I hope he’s the one to give me the coin back in a week,” thought Tatsuo
“Well I got an hour until he announces the event, what should I do?”
“I think I know where to go for the time being”

Author’s words
I got inspired to write this story while seeing a video with a similar plot and then decided to make a story similar but different too. This story follows a young man who has trouble with money and gets involved in an event out of nowhere and now he has to deal with it.

My Girlfriend, the Necromancer
The power of the Orb cleaves the skies and shatters the earth. It heralds the advent of a new era, one where humanity is no longer at the top of the food chain and we must rise to the challenge when faced with our own extinction as a species. I could hardly care less. All I ever wanted was to love my Allie, to grow old and wrinkly by her side as I held her hand before taking my last breath on this green earth. To have our love echo through the ages, an ode to the last great love story on the planet, one that would endure the end of humanity, the breaking of the world, and even defy the dread summons of Death itself. It’s said that when the gods unleash their fury upon mortal kind, they grant their wishes. Well, crap. This is a gritty end of the world survival story with modern fantasy/romance/game-like elements in it. The main focus will be character development while stats and menus are there as a fun vehicle to empower the imagination. This is a work in progress and I deeply appreciate any helpful suggestions, so please don't be shy with input! Currently posting at least one chapter per week.
8 141Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.

8 200Fort Administrator
Dear Sir, You are invited to be considered for the position of civil administrator at the distant frontier outpost of Fort Amalveor. You may have heard rumours about this region. While it is indeed beyond the borders of the Polity, I can reassure you that it is a very calm and ordered land, sparsely inhabited, and largely untroubled. Should you decide to pursue this opportunity, please write back with the utmost urgency! The position has already been vacant for some time, and a talented administrator is needed with haste. Yours faithfully, Jessaire Sev-ConteneSenior ClerkNorth Hill Waypost Sebastian Lewis has been offered an administrative position at a minor outpost in a relatively obscure frontier territory. It isn't a position he's particularly well qualified for, but it's also not something he can bring himself to pass up. Packing his spare clothes, his outdoor boots, and of course his stationery set, he begins his journey into the unknown. This is a fantasy story with mysery and horror elements, following a protagonist with no special powers.
