《CY》Entry no. 6

'Zeno, two people have been following us for quite a while now' Lilith alerted me
'Can you identify them?' I asked
'Through the process of elimination, I concluded that the people following us are: Lea and Marcus'
'How did you come to that conclusion?'
'We've been followed since we left the guild'
'Oh, thanks, Lilith'
'No problem'
"Cynthia" I whispered
"Yes, master?" Cynthia replied
"Just keep walking straight, were being followed"
Cynthia complied and we kept walking until we arrived at the Dutch mansion.
"Halt, state your names and your business here" The guard at the gate asked
"My name is Zeno, this is Cynthia, my partner. We've accepted a request by Maria von Dutch" I said as I present the quests that was posted on the guild
"Please wait here" the guard took the paper and went inside for a few minutes before running back.
"Please enter" The guard respectfully opened the gate and led us in.
"Hello dear guests" A woman who wore a dress and had a fan covering half her face greeted us.
"Hello ma'am" I bowed, Cynthia also followed suit
"Please don't be so formal, I am Maria Von Dutch, the one who requested help"
"I am Zeno and this is Cynthia"
"The goblins are located behind the mansion, we discovered a small cave where the goblins turned into their base. Please exterminate them, they're numbers are growing larger as we speak"
A butler came in and led us to the backyard. when we arrived, there was a miniature forest behind the mansion.
"Those little devils have already destroyed the storehouse and stole a large amount of food" Mrs.Maria explained
"Did anyone get harmed? or kidnapped" as a soldier, civilian safety must be ensured.
"Luckily, no"
"Okay then, if you'll excuse us, we have goblins to kill " I said as I walked to the forest with Azazel in hand.

Cynthia also followed and equipped the mage rod on her back, Mrs.Maria watched as we vanished into the forest.
We only walked for five minutes when I heard a distinct goblin cry, it must have been a scout, he notified others of our visit and soon enough we were surrounded by 13 goblins. They all pounced at me but I only moved to the side, evading their attack while slicing at their exposed backs. After three minutes all the 13 goblins were now on the ground, some were missing limbs and some don't even have limbs anymore. Cynthia and I continued on our journey and when we were at the entrance of the cave almost all of the goblins came out with weapons in hand.
'Lilith, activate Rush mode'
'Rush mode activated' after Lilith's voice fell, my mecha suit glowed red as my speed was enhanced by leaps and bounds. I brandished Azazel and run forwards. I passed by six goblins and when I arrived on the other side of the encirclement, the six goblins fell down on the ground without a head. I continued on doing this until all the goblins died
"did you see that?" Lea asked Marcus, they were both hiding on top of the trees
"Yeah, seems like a movement skill" Marcus replied
"I don't recognize it" Lea was bewildered at the skill Zeno used
" He did say that he came from another land"
"At least we now know that what he said is true"
"Does that mean he's in the clear now guild master?"
"Yup and looks like our good relationship with the Dutch family will stay as is, it might probably improve thanks to this man's actions"
Lea and Marcus quickly left the scene after making sure that Zeno wasn't an enemy.

Cynthia and I entered the cave to make sure no goblins were left behind, the cave was filthy and reeks of goblin excrement.
"Cynthia, what's your level?" I was a bit curious so I asked
"I'm level 20 now master"
"Please don't call me master"
"But.."
"I told you we're both going on an adventure and if we're going to do that we should at least be able to call each other by our names"
"Okay...Zeno" Cynthia struggled to say my name
"I'm level 23 now but I didn't get any skills for my class, did you get any?"
"I received [High heal] when I reached level 10"
"Oh man, I'm jealous" I was looking forward to receiving skills
"We can always buy skills from the skill shop in town"
"We can do that?"
"Yes"
"Then let's stop by there before we return to the guild"
Cythnia and I walked back to the mansion.
"That was fast" Mrs.Maria greeted us with a smile
"We did our best" I laughed as I replied
"Here are your rewards" Mrs.Maria gave us a pouch full of coins, a magic rod which was of higher quality than the one that Cynthia uses.
"It's a little bonus from me" Mrs.Maria smiled
"Thank you" Both Cynthia and I bowed.
We both left the mansion with satisfied smiles.

Fork This Life!
Now we've all heard stories about people who died and were born again with their memories intact. The form of the reincarnator changes from story to story: human, elf, orc, slime, vampire, goblin; you name it, someone wrote it. But what if you were reborn in the most common of houshold objects? What would happen if someone reincarnated as a fork? Involves: merciless fork jokes, monsters, magic n' all that stuff, some profanity, maybe some gore (i'll keep it light), fork philosophy, and if you got advice on where to go next with the novel, comment, coz I only got a hazy outline. Read my other novel here: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/13058/odyssey-of-the-unrivalled
8 176Convicted
Sentenced to the sea for a crime he didn't commit... Wrongly convicted of killing his lover, Li is sent off to serve his sentence in the privateer fleet of Mahlon, where he finds himself somewhere between a sailor and a pirate. He supposes it is a better way to die than wasting away in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. If it isn't the sea or sailing necromancers that threaten his life, perhaps it is his assigned partner, an unfriendly man named Ardlac who seems to want nothing to do with a stranger sharing his space. Li doesn't know that his unfriendly exterior masks a wounded soul suffering from a loss Li can understand far too well. But that is only one of the many secrets lurking around him and one of the many threats to uncover. CONVICTED is a low-stakes story about healing, recovery, and comfort. Originally posted on Tapas, I am now cross-posting this story on Royal Road, Wattpad, and Neovel.

8 149Breakout: What Did I Get Myself Into?
The world is normal, and I mean completely run of the mill. People do boring things all the time, like controlling wind, moving at mach speeds and becoming able to demolish a building in one punch after eating. What...that's not normal to you? This is a world where the abnormal happens every day, thanks to super powered mutants called "Pathos". Enter: Capital City: An infrastructure with constructed on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Japan, the basis for a school system of which the goal was to educate the Pathos on controlling their power in a safe place while also protecting those without power from being harmed. If you graduate, you could even rule the City one day! ...Or you could just take advantage of the free student housing and perfect the art of being a shut-in... Join Reito Usodachi, a lax and jaded, but surprisingly strong 15 year old boy who's in way over his head, on his adventures in Capital City... The only problem is, he may falter a bit when he gets a grasp of how weird the people in the City actually are. Even though he's read his fair share of media and the like, no amount of reading Manga or playing games could've prepared him for this. Amateur writer here! Trying my best on my first Original English Light Novel! (On a short hiatus!)
