《A noble blood sacrifice》Deadly firepower (A retrospective)
Advertisement
Stomaching my own pain, I sprung off the bed. I couldn't locate Spectraman's missing arm. There was not enough time to look properly. "Come on friend. We are fighting a powerful enemy who needs to be stopped before he kills my father. I need your help or we might not win. Hold on to me and don't let go." Holding him to my chest I returned to the window.
Father was holding up the spear again. I pushed Spectraman harder into the window so he could see through the rain pouring glass. "This is it my friend. It's do or die." I squeezed him harder into the window as I did my own face. "Father, I give you my energy. Take my powers and make them yours." My body was heating up. The sweat was beginning to steam up the window. But I could still see the silhouette of his body. I stood up on the bed and raised Spectraman in the air. All the while thinking about the enemy and what force it would take to defeat them. "Lets strike the enemy with the force of a magna charge. Incinerate their bodies to the heavens."
A magna charge was Spectramans' most powerful attack when all else failed. Something took over me at this moment in time. I began speaking in tongues. I could hear my father speaking too for some unexplained reason. He was speaking the same language that I was. It felt like we were in the same circle but it was dark. As if we were in a tunnel. Then my feet jerked. Followed swiftly by my legs, thighs, abdomen, spinal cord, arms. When the flinch reached my hands, the spear lit up. The light immediately left the spear and shot up into the sky. But the sky was part of the tunnel and my sight moved with the speed of the light as it reached the ceiling and changed direction.

My sight followed the light which had transformed into lightning with sparks flying off the sides. The lightning reached a dead end but did not stop. Instead it blew a whole in the darkness which revealed a settlement of different houses spread apart by cattle kraals and farming units with houses in between. The last thing I saw was a man about the same age as my father. Maybe a little older. He was holding peacock feathers with a rubber belt tied around both his arms. It happened so quickly that I unfortunately didn't get to see more. But I did see him trying to cross his arms before the black out.
My attention was drawn back to my searing hot body. It felt like a parraffin fire blazing inside me. I was losing my grasp on reality. Vomiting hurt my throat and it wouldn't stop. I heard the door fly open. "Smelly! Smelly!" My mother's voice echoed around the room. I could not find her. When I finally did it was in her arms. Her face was a blur but I knew it was her. "I think we beat him mama," I said. I didn't know where she was carrying me. I passed out before we arrived.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

My Good Friend Murphy
***Disclaimer*** I wrote and am writing this purely for my own amusement. That means that this could have major revisions done to it sporadically, it has more grammar errors than even the most mentally stable grammar nazi could withstand, and will not update at all regularly. This is an ad-hoc fun experimental work with forced motives, plotholes, and static characters. Don't expect too much. That said, this mutated mistake of a short novella follows a ditzy MC who has been transported to a new world with the dubiously useful skills origin and enigma and the obnoxiously imbalanced skill, traveler. If you'd like more incentive to give it a shot, you will never get spoilers about the plot because there isn't one (Actual synopsis coming soon, relative to eternity)
