《Level Up Lord》Chapter 3: New Friends (written as "Friends" but read as "Experience points")
Advertisement
It's already been a week that Karl discovered that he could earn experience points by killing mosquitos.
However, mosquitos quickly became rarer day by day and thus the leveling up became a tiny bit harder to achieve.
We may thing this isn't a big issue but for our little Karl, it was a matter of survivability.
Nothing guarantees his actual situation will be the same.
He always had to prepare for the worst because life is a bitch.
Seriously, it doesn't give you lemons and it will try to f*ck you anytime you don't pay attention.
Or even if you do pay attention, it'll hit you like a train you see it coming but can't avoid.
So the goal was simple but hard: Becoming strong, becoming autonomous.
Oh and it was already mentionned but the orphanage wasn't in a very-gifted situation.
The orphanage ran by sister Emmanuella was in a very modest village. The nun received meagre financial support from the regional diocese which was not enough for the orphans. The rest of the help was from the village, donations given by the villagers, in the form of foods, tools or little helps to maintain the orphanage.
So more reasons to why Karl was pressuring himself to level up.
Anyway.
One day, Karl started to bawl, sway his arms and shake his body up and down.
"Bah-booh! Bah!!"
Emmanuella and a little girl came to Karl.
"Sister, what does the baby want?"
Emmanuella answered "Well, I think our little Karl wants to get out from his bed and crawl on the ground."
Sister must be reading in his mind because that was exactly what Karl wanted.
Once he was put on the ground (don't worry, the floor was made of wood and it was rather properly cleaned. This is not a child abuse), Karl started to move around. He was actually looking for insects to kill.

"Elise, can you look after Karl so that he doesn't hurt himself, please? I'll go tend the vegetable garden for a little moment."
"Sure."
So Elise, 6 years old, was on duty to look after Karl. It was all thanks to Karl who did stay calm although being a baby and that was how Emmanuella wasn't worried to put Elise alone with the baby.
"Karl, what are you doing?" said Elise.
Karl was looking at a bunch of ants on the floor.
"Oh, are you interested in ants?"
"Booh-bah!"
Splaf!
Karl smashed an ant with the palm of his tiny hand.
"Jeez, Karl. Now you dirtied your hands. Let me wipe it for you."
But before she could even bring a piece of cloth to do it so...
Splaf!
Splaf~
Splaf~!
Splaf!!!
Karl managed to kill more ants. Dozen of them!
*sigh*
"Naughty Karl. Well, now there's no more for you to kill anyway."
And Elise wiped Karl's dirty hand palm.
"Boo-booh."
Nothing more to do, so Karl quickly became as good as gold.
But then the massacre was worth the effort!
Eliminated ANT: 0.00013 xp + 1.3 xp (age bonus) Eliminated ANT: 0.00013 xp + 1.3 xp (age bonus) + 1 credit Eliminated ANT: 0.00013 xp + 1.3 xp (age bonus)
etc, etc.
......Experience point is raining~
He got another source of experience points and this was quite important as he couldn't go very far due to his very young age!

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

Of Dragons and Gods: A DnD Inspired Reincarnation Isekai LitRPG
A student named Jaxon Lee passes away after saving a little girl from a burning building. The last thing he remembers is the word, “Aries”. Upon awakening, he finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world, as a ten-year-old boy, surrounded by monsters and magic. Hostile monsters are not his only concern, however, for his sudden arrival will usher the world towards chaos, reigniting a conflict dating back to the planet’s very inception, awakening the ancient dragons and the very gods themselves. Isekai with D&D elements. Sometimes lighthearted, sometimes dramatic. Hopefully a fun read. This is a work in progress, subject to edits, possibly major, though hopefully not. Any feedback regarding plot, characterization and continuity is greatly appreciated! Will include an OP MC, power levels, spell casting, magic academy, adventuring, dungeons, fighting monsters, romance, comedy. Suggestions welcome. Tagged with sexual content for the sporadic sexual scenes. Will be vanilla but graphic. Not the focus of story.
