《Memories of the Gluttonous Sage》Mini Drama: Cain's Dilemma
Advertisement
"Masteeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrr~" Dresil yells, leaping out of a spatial portal and swings around Cain's neck. Damn... He didn't even move a micrometer.... Dresil pouts slightly while rubbing her face against Cain's. Cain slides his hand up Dresil's arm, slightly leaning his head back against hers.
"You know you don't need to call me that anymore, my love." Cain replies in a soft voice. Dresil swings Cain's neck once more, landing on his lap, obstructing his view of tens of different screens projected by mana.
"I know~~ It's just habit at this point." She runs her fingers through Cain's hair, pressing her forehead against his. "Are you still preparing your memories for The Viewer? Don't forget to take some breaks." Dresil attempts to peek at the many screens laid out, but Cain quickly covers her eyes.
"Yes, and sorry my love. We shouldn't be talking about it, let alone anyone but me should know about it. This dimension can barely keep the gods' eyes away. Even then I wouldn't trust it completely.
"After all, they'd extinguish my soul and try their best to erase my very existence if they found out what we're doing. Even though the gods are immortal, that's only valid as long as their existence and soul isn't erased, this lets me bypass both restrictions; true immortality."
Cain strokes Dresil's hair in a soothing pattern and pace while speaking, attempting to ease her curiosity. There are many gods who can read minds, and although Cain's firewall (which is installed on everyone close to him) can block most of them, he made it a habit of never believing something is 100% foolproof.
"Why are you doing it as a novel and comic and not just one?" Dresil asks him, resting her head on his chest. Cain lifts his chin on top of her head and ponders for a moment. "Some details are better expressed in a novel than a comic and vice versa. Either way it'll help The Viewer sift through the memories since it'll be his first time. He can just speed read it after all."

Cain pauses for a moment to thinks some things over. Although the novel is kind of eh right now... Hopefully it'll get better. Either way, it'll improve the quality of the comic, so there's that. Dresil notices Cain's mood and attempts to pull him out of it before his overthinking spirals out of control.
"Have you gotten to your lecture spree yet?" Dresil lifts her head and inquires with a playful smirk on her face. Cain's face cringes at her words, remembering that very weird feeling of wanting to lecture anything and everything. It got so bad he even lectured a pigeon once.
He lets out a deep sigh, his mental state causing the screens to flicker for a millisecond. "Not yet, my dear." Dresil lets out a hum of acknowledgement then pecks his cheek. "Ver is cooking dinner tonight, it'll be ready in a half hour. Don't forget this time!"
She gets up from Cain's lap, walking a few meters away. Just before she was going to activate the spatial portal to leave, she remembered something. "Oh, here are the memories of Veronica, Neverwinter, Ver's party, and some other people in your territory."
She flings a small mithril cube engraved with hundreds of magic circles at Cain. He catches it then goes back to work. "Remember, half an hour." Dresil states in a stern tone, remaining unmoving from her spot, seemingly waiting for something.
"Yes, my dear. Here's the timer." Cain creates a new screen and sets a timer for 27 minutes on it then tosses it to Dresil. She nods her head in satisfaction then tosses it back to Cain, who makes it hover on his right.
Dresil then opens a spatial portal and leaves Cain to do his work. Upon her exit, thousands of magic circles engraved throughout the walls of the isolated dimension lit up. Some flicker, some are destroyed. Cain looks up at the sight and sighs.
"Looks like I'll be late for dinner... again..."

Reborn as a Magic Firefly, Help?
A rural farmer's boy is unknowingly reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters as just a wee little larva, not even considered a monster at all. But through grit and a passion for surviving, he will eventually evolve into something truly powerful and maybe, just maybe, find a way home. If that means defeating powerful foes and becoming a powerful monster himself, maybe, just maybe, that's what he needs to do. Popcorn easy-going typical "reincarnated as a monster" fic. Expect evolution trees, rare evolutions, small twists, a generally unaccepted main character who just wants to meet a human, the works. In this story, the main character is reincarnated as a larva, but his evolution will lead him down a path to become a will 'o wisp firefly hybrid, since that is what the fellows over on light novel amino requested, and it sounded cool. I'm just writing this to keep my fingers moving, so it won't have too much effort in it, but if you like stories like the beginning of the (good) reincarnated-as-a-dragon light novel, I'm sure you'll like this one. Popcorn isekai fic. The cover, drawn by yours truly, will reflect the current evolution of the main character. Also, he'll be pretty weak-to-strong, since, well, maggots are kind-of-really weak.
8 86Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
8 152An Ode to the Birds
The birds maybe are the wisest from every creation. They look from above and below. The greed of man and the harsh reality is what they see every day. Monster and People of the Races is just the same in their eyes. They flew high when the time came, and chirping night and day. Like a man who has lost his sense of direction, the world is endlessly circled the same place. And powers, light and dark, stirred the clouds. Only some who didn't stray. Only some stay, to praise the birds.
