《Zanaria Online》Chapter 3: Rina's Childhood Friend
Advertisement
F2P: Can only grind based on the level of their set, so they can’t continuously focus on grinding. After getting to a certain level mark, they have to spam dungeons for their level to craft sets, then grind up to where their new set could take them.
P2W: Since they already have sets that are a lot stronger compared to those of their level, they can focus on grinding. This puts a wide margin between them and F2P players.(F2P players have to spam dungeons every ten levels or so, and dungeons don’t give exp)
__________
Rina was surprised that even npcs are realistic, and more surprised that Decima’s personality turns the other way around when interacting with other people. Decima thinks that everyone else aside from them are inferior.
Nona on the other hand was ok with the fairies, since they are a race that doesn’t influence the advancement of innovations that defile the world, but said she hates the other races. She even bad mouthed the humans unintentionally when she mentioned technology.
Rina is now talking with the chief of fairies for the final part of Talking to the citizens chain quest.
“I hereby declare Morta as a citizen of Denla city.”
(M)TALKING TO THE CITIZENS 10(2)
Talk to Agansa the city chief
REWARD: 150 exp, Fairy CrestCOMPLETED
“Thank you”
The chief has entertained a number of fairies already, and he’s getting tired talking to all of them. He signed and said. “I hate my job.”
“Good luck chief.” Said Rina as she walked out of his quarters.
“Bye chief!” Said Nona as she waved her hand before following Rina.
Decima glared at the chief, sending chills to his spine, before walking outside.
Now that Rina has finished the quests, she checked the time.
7:24 am
Since she still has time, she decided to take the next quest.
There are two types of quests, one is the main quest, which Rina is taking. One needs to complete them to gain access to different zones and dungeons, and to job change.
The other is called side quest or favor from other npcs. It can give exp, money, items, and cheap sets for those that can’t craft or buy one from the stores.
Rina doesn’t need those since she could buy sets in the cash shop, get exp from grinding with her mercenaries, and buy consumable items from npc stores with the money she gains from grinding.

The only things she has to work hard for were sets stronger than level seventy five sets.
Sets up to level twenty five can be bought in stores, but anything higher than that needs to be crafted, and the materials needed aren’t so easy to get.
Since the strongest cash shop set covers only up to level seventy five, she has to craft stronger sets.
She can’t use her money on that. Even if she reach level one hundred, it would take a while for F2P players to reach them. On her guess, it might even take half a year.
Only she and a few P2W players could spam level one hundred dungeons to craft their sets, and she can’t buy materials from those that also need materials. They could trade materials they don’t need though.
With them being the only ones with thick vapor coming from their equipment, every player, both beta player or new player, were looking at them.
Some people wanted to talk to Rina, some with good intentions, some with bad, but Decima’s intense glare kept them away. She doesn’t want inferior creatures around her master.
When they reached the east entrance of the city, Rina stood in line, to wait her turn to talk to the npc. Decima and Nona stood beside her, and Ragus sat near her.
Around 7:46 am, her turn came and as she greeted the npc, a screen appeared.

After she clicked yes, Pal said. “This is overkill, poor rabbits...”
Rina chuckled as she walked away, leaving the men in daze after seeing her captivating smile.
It was almost time for her to wake up, so she said. “I’ll be going now.”
“Ok master!”
Decima was silent, but her unmoving tail showed that she was dejected, and so was Ragus.
“I’ll try to get back at around 9:00 pm.” She said as she opened the option screen.

“See you later.” She said as she clicked the log out button, ignoring the number of unread messages.

As soon as she vanished, the other three did to. They’ll automatically show up once Rina enters the game again.
___
Rina awoke in her bed, wearing the helmet that she used to enter the game. As she took it off and stood up, the door opened and an old man wearing butler clothes entered.
“Ohoho, you’re already awake Rina-sama?”
“Don’t call me that. I told you a thousand times already, just Rina is fine.”
“Ohoho, would you like to eat breakfast or would you like to take a bath first?”
“Don’t change the subject...”
After Rina took a bath, she went downstairs and entered the dinning hall. As she sat in the middle seat, android butlers entered and placed food on the table, and the old man from before stood behind her.
“Rina-sama, today we received five marriage proposals. I recomme-“
“Sigh, reject all of them.”
“As you wish.”
“You already know I’ll decline since I like Ren, why bother telling me?”
“Ohoho, we can’t be so sure. Rina-sama might have a change of heart in the future.”
“Never, if I’m to marry someone, I’d rather choose you or Ren. Everyone is just after my money, you and Ren are the only ones who are not.”
“You’re mistaken Rina-sama, I’m also after your money.”
“Yeah right, you had a thousand chances to take my money and look at you, you’re still here serving me despite being in your late seventies.”
“Ohoho, I’m after the money I get from serving you, isn’t it the same? You won’t go bankrupt like others, so I stayed.”
“If you’re after my money, you could have killed me in my sleep.”
“I’m only after money I worked hard for, and Rina-sama, please act more ladylike.”
“...”
“Ohoho, I forgot to mention, there are three marriage proposals for sir Ren.”
“Reject them.”
“But Ri-“
“He will reject them anyway, so burn those proposals away.”
“As you wish, Rina-sama.”
“Sigh, why would he accept marriage proposals when he likes androids more than me...”
“Ohoho”
After eating, she rested in the flower garden behind the mansion. An hour later, a man showed up. He had a muscular body and slightly tanned skin. He had black hair that was cut short, and orange eyes.
“Rina!”
“R-Ren?”
“I have created the perfect android!” Said Ren as he grabbed Rina’s hand. “Have a look!” He dragged her out of the flower garden.
Ren Akiyama is the head of security, the father of androids, and Rina’s adoptive brother. He was the son of a close friend to the Takahashi family.
He has been with Rina since they were three, and has been supported by her family since then. Because of their help, Ren developed trust and loyalty to the family.
He could have been something bigger, but he chose to stay as the Takahashi family’s body guard. Despite not showing interest in women, he cherishes Rina as a sister.
He has made the Takahashi mansion an impenetrable fortress that even tanks and fighter jets would runaway from.
After showing an android with synthetic human skin, Ren asked. “So? Is it cool?”
“It’s a great improvement from the last, but how are the mobility of the joints? Do you have to revert to that?”
“Heh, I found a way to reduce the mass of phrion joints, so the android is top class.”
“That’s great......So, do you want to play a game with me?”
“Nah, I still have to do test runs on the new android,”
“I-I see”
Rina likes Ren. It started when they were five because of a certain incident with kidnappers. She has tried different advances, but Ren was too dense to get what she’s saying.
She even blatantly said she loves him, yet it didn’t work. She hasn’t tried anything more than that though, since she isn’t a shameless person.
Hours passed with Rina and Ren talking about androids. By the end of the day, Ren secluded himself in his underground laboratory and will stay there for an unknown amount of time.
A bit dejected that Ren went back to his laboratory, Rina ate dinner early and entered the game at 7:30 pm.
___
When Rina opened her eyes, she saw Decima, Nona, and Ragus in front of her.
“We-“ Decima was about to speak, but Nona spoke with a louder voice. “Welcome back, master!”
Decima was a bit sad that Nona interrupted her, but was still happy that her master is back, making her tail flail around.
“I’m back, Decima, Nona.“
Ragus lightly bumped Rina’s legs with his head.
“And of course, Ragus.” She said as she patted the Ragus’ head.
After that, they went around finishing main quests, mercilessly killing weak mobs, that couldn’t even damage them, with their glowing equipment.

Triquetra: A Multi-Class Isekai or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Accept the End of the Multiverse
Triquetra: An Multi-Class Isekei Adventure I know, I know, you have heard it all before. Yes I was hit by a truck. Yes I ended up in a Fantastical World suspiciously similar to one of my favorite RPG’s. Yes I had access to cheats no one else possessed. Yes it was a world of classes and levels and magic powers. Finally, yes I was an overweight middle-aged loser failing to live up to my potential. Given my eclectic reading habits I should have been better prepared. Unfortunately I was not. Sure I could multi-class with reduced penalties, but my starting class was Scholar! No combat abilities and very limited spellcasting. My HUD interface costs mana to use, and my universal translation seemed to be outsourced to Giggle Translate. I’m supposed to be an OP MC! Not a slice-o- life struggling to survive in the wilderness. Not to mention the Arch-Magus who summoned me, mistimed everything, I arrived 300 years too late, after the fall of the Empire I was supposed to save. The surviving remnants have devolved into Murder Hobos. What’s worse is that the Great Devourer, Ancient Calamity, and Spawn from the Void Beyond Time, Space, and Sanity is now aware of a new world to plunder, a world called Dirt! (Told you this translator sucks) Warning Extra Crunchy Authorial Vebosity! Lots of infodump in the early chapters, but I learn my lesson and it does get better, eventually. I do not own the Cover image, found it on a free image site.

The Fate Eater
What might a man really do if he found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as a dragon prince? How would he come to terms with his new nature, his larger-than-life family, the agendas of warring factions, and the destiny he never asked for? This is a story that intends to defy some isekai tropes, but play into others. It's mainly about exploring a rich hand-crafted world, full of its own history and mysteries. Its characters have their own lives and aspirations, and our protagonist is but a piece of the greater tapestry. This story is not about right and wrong, or good and evil. It's about a dragon-man being tested by fate, power, and time. It's about what it's like to live as an outsider who lost their home. But perhaps the most central theme is freedom. What does freedom really mean? What will it cost and how much might one be willing to pay for it? Does it even truly exist? Let's find out together.

The watcher of universe and stuff.
The most devastating thing to an eternal being must be boredom. If nothing can change you, how can you yourself change? Sometimes you have to learn that the hard way. I should point out that there are multiple lead characters and they will all have their own personalities and motivations. While the story will focus more on our MC Trey, you can expect multiple POV switches. If you do not like POV switches, this might not be for you. My first book. If anyone will ever read this, be so kind as to leave a comment. Even, if all you say is an insult. As long as I can improve this work by your comment, it's all fine. One thing’s for sure. I will keep writing as if my reader can handle curse words without curling into a little ball and repeatedly saying: "Leave my safe-space alone, you monster". Therefore, you can expect some profanity.

That Scottish Play
This is a very silly and cringey parody of Shakespeare's Macbeth. The play format will be kept consistent throughout. Unless you enjoy cringing so hard you experience physical pain, I'd suggest avoiding this work. However, as the level of cringe is only slightly less than that of the office, any fans of that show may enjoy this work. (I believe, as a parody, this work is protected from copyright by fair use, additionally, Shakespeare is in the public domain so it doesn't fall under copyright in the first place. If I'm wrong please let me know)
