《Our Dear Introverted Hero》A Pleasingly Undesirable Rebirth
Advertisement
After being transported from the soul world, I awoke in a new body. In my previous life, I had been born to a Japanese father and an American mother. Many people thought I was pretty, but I wouldn’t call myself a beauty queen. Most of the time, I intentionally dressed down because I didn’t want to draw attention to myself. However, the contrast in the new me was startling. I felt my face up and down; it was a perfect oval shape and had big doe-y eyes, the kind that could captivate anyone. I had been approximately 51 kilos, in my last life, with a mostly straight shape. However, my new body felt much curvier. I reached down to cuff my breast in my hands. I was at least a c cup. My hips were perfectly proportioned to my waist and my butt felt fuller. Not that I particularly preferred things this way, but it was not an unwelcome change. I pulled my hair to my face, it was auburn with a slight wave to it, and my skin was much tanner than it had ever been. I was in awe; I walked to the bathroom adjacent to the room I had awakened in to get a clearer look at myself. My eyes were a beautiful jeweled green. I thought I was stunning, at least a 9/10. I didn’t think I could get used to this life. However, what was much more concerning than my sudden difference in beauty, was that I held all the memories of the previous holder of this body combined with my own. Her name had been Annette, she was 19. Conveniently, she was an orphan with no living relatives. She worked in a nearby bakery to support herself. When she was 18, she ran away from her village to escape any possibility of being sold into marriage. She often wrapped her body to avoid being discovered. She lived her life quietly and simply and had died as such. Though I pitied her, I was grateful she awarded me the opportunity to be reborn. As I reflected on what now had become my past, I realized I also needed to prepare for the present. In layman's terms, I needed money. I had wished for money in the soul world, but it was clear to me that Annette didn’t have much. Although my current living arrangements were not exactly impoverished, they were shabby. I hadn’t exactly been rich in my past life, but this was a downgrade. I knew survival would be difficult for a woman from the modern world with my current living arrangements. I reflected on my wishes in the soul world, feeling as if I had been duped. I muttered to myself, I should have chosen the damn door.

Three factions oversaw the continent of Jumana. They were the Palace of Anima, Church of Arbor, and Seditio. The Palace of Anima worshipped Fate. A divine principle by which the order of events has been inevitably predetermined. The proxies of the Palace were the Moirais as they were blessed with precognition, great mana talent, and high affinity with Fate. The Church of Arbor revere Conscience. A moral principle that inhibits or influences the thoughts or actions of a person. Their advocates were the Fae, children born from the Tree of Truths.

8 180Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
