《Memories of the Gluttonous Sage》About the MC
Advertisement
In case you can't tell, the Gluttonous Sage is our mc. So there won't be much info about our mc unless someone in the world asks him about it. Even then, he won't be able to say much bc he needs to hide the fact he was isekai'd until he is closer with them. Because of this, here is some info about our mc.
Our mc, Cain Bee Dormer, is a hecking smart boi. Despite doing nothing for 2 years, he is still considered a genius among his peers. He is 20 years old. His hobbies are riding his bike, eating, hibernating, reading manhwa/manhua/manga (his collection is at 219), video games, and learning. His major is Aerospace Engineering.
A little about his genius levels. Our big brain moments and shower thoughts are his half asleep moments. The moments when you wake up from that 4 hour long nap with imprints of the sheets on you. Yep, our boi is smart smart. Most plots, schemes, etc. are childish to him. Although he is 20 years old, he feels like he is 40.
Our boi is currently a shut-in. The pandemic was the last straw. The main cause was boredom. He is bored because nothing is challenging anymore. From thermodynamics to designing a plane. He doesn't feel the thrill that was once there and decides to pass the time with anime, tv, and comics.
On top of this, he feels out of place. Like he doesn't belong in this world. Not society, but literally this world (Earth). The main factor though is the contradictory feelings he gets when he does something.
When he attempts to do something, he feels as if he is an expert. After analyzing this emotion once, he found it to be different from overconfidence. He could even visualize how to complete his task perfectly, whether it be something he has no experience in, like forging metal, to something he is quite proficient in, like cleaning out a buffet and getting kicked out.

And yet… Whenever he tries to do the task, it feels like something is blocking him from exerting all of his effort, thus producing results he wasn't expecting, even while lowering his expectations.
His dream is to learn everything in the universe. To accomplish this his original plan was to get a PhD in Aerospace Engineering and Computer Engineering and a Master's in Business. From there he would obtain knowledge about every field of engineering, equivalent to a bachelor's degree.
Why engineering? Because it involves math and science, the building blocks of the laws in this world. (that's what he would say). He firmly believes that there is some unobtainable knowledge that lies behind all fields of engineering. It can only be grasped after understanding every field.
Now for Cain's social life: he has none. Mwahahahaha *sniff*
Anyways, although he has no social life, he is a chameleon. In other words, he can quickly adapt to any social group or lifestyle. Not just in social situations, but in general, his adaptability puts a chameleon's camouflage to shame.
He views food, sleep, and the pursuit of knowledge more important than almost everything. There will be some cases he even disregards the life of others because it'll be useful in an experiment. Although it was very, very, very subtle before the yeet-er, teleport into the fantasy world, with the addition of mana, a whole category of unexplored laws, it is amplified a lot.
Also, another important note: Cain is very aware of his surroundings. He can tell whenever someone is looking in his direction, even if there is a wall or pillar in the way (as long as it isn't too thick). Whenever someone moves behind him, he'll know how they moved, what they moved, etc. His eyes are attracted to any and all types of motion, even if it happens behind him.

Occasionally his head will snap to the general direction the object moved in or from. (imagine turning your head really quick. It's that on top of Cain's eyes automatically focusing on what moved). This can happen even without his glasses, and there will be no difference in range.
To put his level of instincts into perspective (his high awareness stems from this.) If Cain were to move into a new apartment, he wouldn't be able to sleep well since all of his senses will be heightened. He will be able to hear the conversations of everyone above him, know where they are based on the sound of their footsteps, smell what food they're cooking, etc.
Only when he is comfortable in his surroundings, could he get good sleep. One way to do this is sleep with a blanket over his eyes, earplugs in his ears, and 4 blankets to weigh himself down. The blankets are to keep him from feeling the air currents in his room and to cover everything but his nose. Think of an alligator in water, but it's Cain in his bed. Another way is a distraction or levels of comfort that can't be achieved alone. Despite all of this, he can tell whenever someone enters his room, and it will wake him up.
Ah, he is also a memelord. There's 10,000+ memes in his collection.
I went all out with our boi's personality to show that everyone in this world has this level of thought/info about them. Even the smallest of side characters.
Small tidbit about Dresil, our boi's companion (guide, familiar, waifu, whatever you want to call her). (Not a spoiler since she is introduced in the first chapter.)
She has just gained sentience, but also has fragments of memories of thousands of people. Thus, there will be times when she acts like a kid or even have different personalities.

Generic Monster Isekai story. Guy dies, meets a god, the entity says that he is willing to reincarnate him to a new world as a new creature, etc etc. The protagonist is an established serial killer on his past life so I'll probably make a grimdark setting or something. Idk

The Dragon & The Demon
Orenda Nochdifache-Firefist has sucessfully overthrown the Empress Xandra and broken the empire to allow the individual colonies to return to self-rule, as well as abolished the chattle slavery that had plagued the land- earning her the title of "Orenda the Reign Ender". The Knights of Order have officially won the war in a bloody revolution, putting an end to the three centuries of warfare under Xandra's leadership. No longer must people live in fear of Xandra's puppet, The Emerald Knight. But now Orenda must face the realities of her dream- the imaginary princess has become queen. And, she has a deadly secret she must keep in the form of a teenage Urillian boy who is not what he seems. Anilla is still on a never ending quest to find her dragon; her people beleive that every memeber of their tribe is born with a soul bonded dragon that exists somewhere in the world- and Orenda's little secret claims to have seen Anilla's soul before. Could he be the key to ending her quest? This work is a direct sequel to The Crimson Mage, and will obviously contain major spoilers for that work, so it might be a better place to start (though I will warn you that the first chapter of that story may be the worst thing I've ever written. Just power through it or encorage me to put up a second draft). It can be found here: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/21654/the-crimson-mage/chapter/307763/chapter-1
