《Tales of the Rebirth Apocalypse Emperor (BL)》Chapter 21: End of Mount Taiyuan trip
Advertisement
The people in the camp were eagerly and anxiously waiting for Murong's team because they simply didn't know the situation of their children in the dungeon. Grantly, they recognized and believed in the ability of Murong's trio, but they still felt worried in their hearts. It was the instinct of every parent, I guessed.
Chen Dong also sensed Chen Yiren's worry and began to pat her back, comforting her.
"Don't worry, have not we just come back fine? Even Dawei and Fang were together with them. There won't be any danger, " Chen Dong said as he was soothing his wife.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for too long. An energizing sound rang up from the dungeon's direction.
"Mom! Dad! We are back!" Murong excitingly shouted, informing the people in the camp of their arrival.
At this time, Chen Jinnan and Chen Yawen also heard the Murong's sound outside of their tent, realizing that their children had already returned. They then walked out to meet their children.
All of Murong's parents and grandparents came to meet with Murong's team next to the camp entrance. When Murong's team was approaching the camp, the first thing that they noticed was an elegant and dark-colored cape that Murong wore. They couldn't help but be amazed for a short time.
"Is that the equipment that you got from the dungeon? It looks strange but nice." Chen Jinnan was the first to react.
"We have some good lucks this time. It's an S-grade cape." Murong said with a smile while he recalled the property of the Black moon cape.
----------------------------------------------------------
Item status
Name: Black moon cape
Class: Soldier
Grade: S
Passive skill:
1) Increase spiritual defense +7 level
2) Increase spiritual attack +7 level
Active skill:
1) Kinematic force field (1-meter diameter spherical force field that could prevent any physical attacks for 10 minutes per day)

----------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps, 10-minutes kinematic force field didn't seem to have any significant effect in the prolonged fight, but at the most crucial moment, this extra little surprise may play a critical role. In the future, Murong, on more than one occasion, was able to appreciate this benefit.
Actually, the most important thing is that they got two S-grade pieces of equipment that had no restriction of the occupation that could use it. In other words, these black obsidian amulet and black moon cape could be used by anyone. This flexibility gave rise to all kinds of possibilities and could transfer among their group.
As Murong was pondering, Chen Yiren looked around and asked. "Murong, where is Huilong?"
It turned out that Huilong was walking behind Murong all these times. It was as if he sensed that his mother would make a scene when she saw him.
"I am here, mom..." Huilong, who hid behind Murong's big cape, quietly spoke and reluctantly revealed his slightly injured body to Yiren.
"Oh my god! What happen! Why he has a bruise and blood all over the place?" Yiren was astonished when she was able to see her son's state.
"We encountered some problems, but nothing was serious, mom." Huilong calmed Yiren while he was adding "Except I was nearly dead" in his mind.
"Yeah, it's over, and the harvest is very rich. Out of the three pieces of equipment, two are S-grade equipment. We even obtain several spiritual nuclei. In the future, these will be very valuable." Murong quickly added to lessen Yiren's worry and distract the focus from Huilong's injury.
"Still. Let mom clean the wound and put the bandage," Chen Yiren said with a show of concern in her eyes while she was grabbing Huilong's arm to take him to where the med kit was.

Chen Huilong promptly followed his mother. Not that he had much of a choice. After they arrived at the medkit box, Chen Yiren speedily unscrewed the water bottle and poured the liquid on Huilong's wounds. After that, she dipped a Q-tip into the cleaning solution which came with the medkit and began to rub gently around Huilong's wound.
"Zeeeed!" A sharp intake of breath and saliva from Huilong was heard. This cleaning solution stinged and irritated his wound tissue, causing acute pain. But, he only winced. He would not cry in front of his family for a small wound.
Yiren slightly paused upon seeing Huilong's response. She was used to the effect of this kind of wound cleaning solution, but she forgot that Huilong was just a boy and he wasn't used to experiencing this pain.
Yiren's face softened as she said, "Sorry, I forget to remind you that the cleaning solution might sting. It is nearly done. Just hold on." Then, she continued to clean his wound again.
"It is okay. I can handle it." Huilong acted bravely. He pretended as if it didn't hurt at all, and this was only annoying him. He was a man of the Chen Family, after all. How can he afraid of this little pain.
Yiren chuckled when she heard Huilong stubbornly acted. She then rinsed the wound thoroughly to rid it of any dirt and cleaning solution. Finally, she took out a few Band-Aids and applied them over Huilong's wounds.
Not far away, Murong discussed what to do next with the remaining family members after telling them what happened in the dungeon and showing them how to absorb the spiritual nucleus.
Interestingly, only Chen Dawei got a new wind attribute after the absorption process, but Chen Dong did not get any notifications.
"So, it seems to be random. Huh?" Murong thought, after getting the results.
"We need more data to reach a conclusion on how it works, I guess." Murong continued his thought process.
"So, what will we do next?" Chen Jinnan interruptedly asked.
"At first, I thought we were going to spend a few more days here to get more equipment but, the dungeon is too dangerous right now. Especially, we couldn't select our job yet. It would be a different story if we could get a job. So, we have to stop grinding for now." Murong told his thinking to the group.
"It is better to find another dungeon and try to get items from there. In fact, once I accompanied you guys off at home, I will do another duty that I got from a family meeting. I will go to survey the Borderlands region and hopefully find the dungeon there." Murong added.
"Yes, that makes sense." Chen Jinnan said and nodded, signaling his agreement. The others also had the same opinion.
"Now, it was almost dark. Let's stay for another night and go back home tomorrow?" Chen Fang suggested to the group.
Everyone agreed with Chen Fang's idea. Therefore, after three days of clearing the dungeon, Murong's family spent another night here in their camp. The next morning, they wrapped up their things and went home, ending the first dungeon family trip.

Blood Demon's Retirement
Civil War had raged on the Al-Shan Archipelago for the past four decades, only recently coming to an end with the enthronement of the new Emperor. This is not his story. The Blood Demon, renowned general of said civil war, was tired of all the fighting and politicking that had described the last four decades of her existence. All she really wanted to do now is to go out into the world and see the many lands from her father's stories. Thus she retired, and went and did exactly what she wanted. This is the story of what happens when you toss a (retired) war machine with somewhat lacking common sense into an unsuspecting world at peace. Chapters will range from 1-2.5k words, scheduled for release every day from Monday to Friday. First time posting a story on Royal Road here, hoping you folks will enjoy. Expect: -slow going slice of life with occassional faster paced action -world building -detailed anecdotes on the world, its races, the magic system, and whatnot every now and then Do not expect: -romance, other than maybe some passing mentions -politics, again, barring passing mentions Any comments, reviews, and criticism will be much appreciated. And thank you for reading. ---------------------------- Disclaimer: This story is my original work and only posted on the Royal Road and Scribblehub websites. If you should find this story elsewhere or under another name, please let me know. Also please don't be too hard on me when I make occasional grammatical mistakes, English is my third language after all. XD Edit suggestions are very welcome though. Discord

Twin Crown's Game
The game is paramount, the game decides the fate of the worlds. Living a ruined city, in a forgotten and war-torn world that was never meant to partake in the game where familial name and strength means all, two candidates struggle to survive until an odd duo makes them an irrefutable offer. Unknown to them they are about to be thrust into an eternal game as terrifying forces clash around them and normalcy becomes but a lovely notion. Candidates and families will continue to fight for power while Lillian and Sledge just want to end the suffering and conflict as they try to navigate the chaos of the game and maybe gain some control over their lives. Of course, they will learn the game isn't nearly as simple as it sounds. And when it starts, more than just the world will be flipped on its head. Completely new to this, as such the best thing is feedback. Cover made for TCG by: Roge

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
