《Arcane Evolution》Expansion
Advertisement
First, I focused on expand territory. As I started, the process came easily to me almost instinctual. I started pushing the mana out into the surrounding area and then willed what the mana saturated to be mine. Slowly but surely my field expanded. As the process continued, I started to get a better view of where I was. I seemed to be in a natural cave or volcanic vent of sort. Considering the rocky surroundings and the noxiuos fumes clinging to the ceiling. As I continued pushing my borders, I started to absorb samples of any interesting materials around me.
*Material Blueprints Recently acquired: soil, rich soil, sulfur, obsidian, ash, Basalt, Andesite, Pumice*
Wow material overload. I just started too; this is going to get complicated fast trying to keep track of all my materials and creatures. Speaking of creatures there was also quite a few critters crawling around too.
*Recent Creature Blueprints: earth worm, cave ants, cave spider, cave bat, cave cricket, Scorpion, salamander, Moss, Mushroom, Grub*
It was a great harvest. Though none of these would be much of a threat to a normal person let alone superpowered magical ones. But you got to start somewhere. But those didn’t matter much right now because I'm approaching the cave entrance. I was thinking about all the cool magical creatures and plants I was going to get once I'm outside when suddenly... BANG “OW” It felt like my face just bounced of a rubber wall. More carefully this time I pushed agents the outside barrier. Every inch I pushed it pushed back twice as hard. By the time I was mentally exhausted and couldn't go any further I only made it about a foot out the cave. “Wow that was way harder, well at least it wasn’t completely pointless.”
*Resent Blueprints: Grass, Fern, Forest Beatle, Mango tree, unnamed flower vine*

*Would you like to name your New discovery? Yes/No*
Well, that last one was quite interesting it seems that I'm the first to discover this new plant. It was a vine wrapped around the mango tee but the interesting thing about it along with its vicious thorns and a dozen deferent flowers blooming from it. It wasn’t hurting the small mango tree, if anything it looked healthier it... it was protecting it. I selected yes. “I name it the Deadly Lover”
*Name Accepted*
I then decided to use identify on it.
*Deadly Lover: An extremely rare magic vine that will bind its self to another plant for the remainder of its life. Where it will protect and nurture its partner until the duos demises. The flowers that bloom on it correlate to the magic affinity in the air and increase it and its partners magic and vitality. Will become increasingly violent if flowers or partner are damaged*
Well, I think I just found my new favorite vine. After sitting there and thinking over a few ideas I decided that since I can't get out of the cave right now, I'll go deeper. So, I turned around and focused all my energy as it slowly trickled in to expanding deeper into the cave.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Supervillain
The world is broken and rotten. It's supposed defenders are too weak willed to do what is necessary. It's leaders are too corrupt to care for those beneath them If they wont fix this world, then I will! I will make the world a better place ..... by any means necessary! Nice to meet you all. My name is Ginobi47. A lurker of fanfiction.net and now a writer of original fic.This is my first original work and I do hope you enjoy it! Do remember that this is a fiction in the Superhero genre. Please expect the craziness that goes along with it. NOTE: English is not my maiden language. AUTHOR'S NOTE: As I went through the other fictions of Royal Road, I noticed that my style of writing style (slow release, 1 big post) doesnt work well in this site. As such, I'll be experimenting on releasing smaller chapters more often, as this seems to be how the authors of Royal Road does things. Mind you, my release speed will still be very slow compared to others, but I'll churn out chapters more often than what I used to do. DISCORD SERVER: https://discord.gg/M7bmjTH ANOTHER NOTE: Some of my readers convinced me to set up a discord server. While I have absolutely no idea what to do in a discord server, but if you're interested, just join in and go nuts. Suggest some storylines or characters, seek advice in just about anything or tell me your deepest darkest secret (you can PROBABLY trust me ^.^). Feel free to do whatever is fun

The Titanic Fanatic
John Doe is a relatively intelligent high school junior. He is in all the super advanced classes, gets straight A's, and to top it off, he is pretty lazy as well. However, he is quite cocky about it and has the physical strength to back it up. Needless to say, he is the target of lots of jealousy in school. No one dares to bully him, because THAT is more or less a metaphorical death wish, but he is the center of lots of gossip and attention. He has a good life. Fortunately for John, his school is the largest in the world and so there were still many students who didn't know about him to annoy him. Unfortunately for John, he attracted the attention of a certain student who seems friendly enough but definitely has ulterior motives. This student will show John something that will change his life forever... **No, this is not a romance(yet at least) and the "certain student" is a guy lol so don't get any ideas** Author's Message: Hey, everyone. I was a big reader on RoyalRoadL for three years now, but I made an account recently because I felt like writing something. This story is based on Greek Mythology but I will make up and change a lot of it however I want(note the "based"). This is my first story and I am very busy(I'm a high school junior like John lol) so I will have lots of writer's block and erratic updates. Content Warning-Keeping those tags just in case as this probably won't be a baby friendly story(jk babies r kewl, just not here)-
