《Witchcraft Lords》Chapter 1: The Baron of Winter
Advertisement
Might, Otto City Floral Hotel.
"Mr. Solvay, Mr. Solvay, please wait.
"Mr. Jeffrey, I've already notified you, I'm not thinking about your place, therefore please avoid bother me any longer.
Solvay looked over the philistine old white man before your pet with a burning up gaze and said very seriously.
The particular philistine old guy in front of your pet was obviously a baron who desired to exchange his baronetcy and the place attached to it for the only three bottles of Changyu Cabernet remaining in his hands.
If it was three days back, Solvay, who did not know its value, may have exchanged with this person because he shares the same name with Mr. Jeffrey, the founder of Changyu Cabernet.
But now the problem is different.
Solvay found a case of 6 bottles of Changyu Cabernet dry dark wine, three bottles in the auction kept by the Master of Otto Town for a total of 218 precious metal coins, the other three bottles, Solvay failed to bid for the time being.
But he also knew the value of the 3 bottles of Changyu Cabernet left in his hand.
In accordance to Solvay's query, the value of Jeffrey's baronetcy and the territory connected to the baronetcy was only two hundred gold coins.
Due to the fact his territory, called Winter City, look at the name also know, this place is situated in the cold, very little production, not really worth!
If not for a baronetcy, to become a commendable, in this place, two hundred metallic coins are not even wanted.
Due to the fact it is too poor! Buy at an enormous loss.
Exactly how can Solvay be willing to achieve that? Will he think this individual is an fool who knows absolutely nothing about anything? Even though he comes from the earth that can make the northern wilderness into the northern stockroom.
Solvay may not drop for this old white man's technique again, as this individual had already already been robbed of the two glasses installed with the situation of dry red wine with a silver coin.

"Mr. Solvay, wait a minute, listen to me. The old white man gasped a few breaths and considered to himself, this child, must have noticed about the cost of Winter season City, otherwise, it is impossible to go from the prior glowing eye to the present lack of interest.
"Okay, you say. " The old white man is after all a nobleman, Solvay is currently carrying a huge amount of money is known to it, so also dare not have to get too ruthless, just in case this guy waiting for the chance to get back.
In the end, his identification continues to be only a commoner, in this Western medieval background of the other world, the nobleman desires to kill a commoner, there is no difficulty.
"Mr. Solvay, We are prepared to exchange my baronetcy and place, plus 18 coins, for the wines you are keeping. Jeffrey said, "in good faith".
"No exchange. "
In case you say you're not interested, then if you're not interested. The man's word is his word.
"Twenty coins! Twenty precious metal coins plus a baronetcy and a territory! Jeffrey was too old to note that Solvay's manifestation had eased, so he immediately elevated his price.
"This...... continues to be not changeable!
I said I would keep my term. Besides, Solvay kept in mind which he had already been created by the man.
"Twenty-one! Twenty-one or not? inch Jeffrey's fist dangling in the outter tightened, this price is near to the limit of his sincerity.
"Twenty-one? inch
Solvay was relocated. Although he experienced been robbed of a "valuable" cup by Jeffrey, the old man experienced now lowered the cost of the barony and the territory to less than two hundred coins.
1 hundred and ninety-seven gold coins.
The particular baronetcy and the territory are really worth 200 coins.
The particular difference was 3 coins.
Solvay thought that even if the two eyeglasses were taken for crystal by these ignorant people, they would still be worth about 3 or four precious metal coins, so Solvay said: "Twenty-two!

"Twenty-two! If you will give me twenty two gold coins, your baronetcy, and your territory, I will exchange them.
Twenty two gold coins, so the loss of the glass could be made up.
"Deal! " A happy smile appeared on Jeffrey's face.
"Shit! I believe I've dropped for this again. inch I believe I've already been fooled again. inch Looking at Jeffrey's happy smile, Solvay's heart thumped and knew he might have been misled again.
Solvay did not dare to go back on his word, otherwise, this guy could bring in the Otto City guards for "cheating a nobleman" and put themselves in jail.
"Mr. Solvay, here are the Baron's honor and the comarcal documents, as well as 22 precious metal coins, please take a count. Jeffrey is actually "sincere", this individual first took away a money handbag from his clothes pocket and passed it to Solvay.
The main thing is, that this individual is not concerned about Solvay's challenge to embezzle his belongings. The Otto City guards are not vegetarians, besides, Solvay, a tender-skinned ordinary man, is not very likely to be able to defeat his son.
Which right, Jeffrey's child Jacob has was behind Jeffrey.
Solvay couldn't believe this philistine old white man. He required the money handbag from Jeffrey, measured, and checked it carefully before heading returning to the hotel room and giving Jeffrey the rest of the 3 bottles of Changyu Cabernet, then smiled "friendly": "Mr. Jeffrey, good cooperation. Yet then you have to send me personally to Winterfell to announce to the people, otherwise, they will not know me.
"Yes! Yes! We'll leave in the mid-day, and if we do not get delayed, we'll be there by midday the day after tomorrow. " Jeffrey's face also demonstrated a "charitable" grin.
"I'll go get ready.
"Yeah. inch
......
"Father, why is it necessary to be generous to such a girl, we can just arrange for someone to rob your pet? After Solvay remaining, Jacob asked Jeffrey about his uncertainties.
About his boy's doubts, Jeffrey is not angry, his expression leisurely, filled with emotion, explained: "That boy is not as you think, " he said.
"I have looked into him, he made an appearance in this Enorme City as all of a sudden as he do, and is transporting a treasure, this individual must have something to rely on, and you see his clothes, although strange, the material, not ordinary people can have, therefore, be careful. Apart from, we have been good people, aren't we?
"So are we heading to deal with him like we treated his former lords? inch Jacob asked again.
"Of course! inch Jeffrey said with certainty, "When it comes to slowly destroying Winterfell, it's the horse thieves, not us, so even if the people behind him know the truth, they won't be able to say something. After all, having been thrown into this bitter chilly place, certainly to train him.
Furthermore, we do not hurt his life, it is his inability to protect the useful the territory, who are able to be blamed?
Three containers of wine are worth more than 222 gold cash if you take these to the boundary capital.
That child is new to the world, this individual does not know this kind of exotic, exquisitely designed, can store wines ink crystal container, can be much more valuable than the white amazingly cup!
Once the time comes, we change the container for the wine, the ink crystal container alone to sell, more profit, absolutely no loss.
Dad and son, just like a pair of shameless groundhogs.

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!

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
