《The Alien's Retaliation》[Chapter 12 – Exchange district]
Advertisement
As soon as she took off the pendant, the force shielding her mind faded away.
[How should I call you? Ah, Vix right? Well you can address me as Xeno]
I said, starting the telepathic conversation.
[Very Xeno…] said her, either at a loss of words and afraid for the outcome of our conversation.
[I won't kill you, if you will promise to serve me until your very end] I said, a serious tone.
I wasn't joking or lying one bit, it was her choice to serve me or die.
[W-What will happen to me if I would chose to become your servant?] Said her, a little worried, before looking at her trembling body.
[Are thinking that I will do something wicked with your body?
You're not entirely wrong, but not in the way you are expecting it.
I won't rape you or send you to work into a brothel.
You'll just have to drink a glass of 'water' I will give you.
Beware that after that you will change, but in the end you will retain your personality and memories.]
I said, clearly stating the important informations she needed to know.
[If I say no, will you… kill me?] Said her, she now knew something very fishy would happen once she drank this 'water' of mine.
So she wanted to confirm that it was the only alternative.
If I really wanted to try harder, I could imprison her for days until she gave in too.
But in saying so I would give her hope. Maybe in that case she could call someone to rescue her or try to escape somehow.
[Yes, I would definitely kill you and eat your corpse soon after]
I said, cutting off every bargain she could attach to.
[I see, I accept then, not that I have much of a choice] Said her, obviously pained.

Yet I didn't feel much empathy.
I was offering her new power, a way to get out of her weakened state.
Well I didn't expect her thanking me or something, so I just faked to not hear her last sentence.
[To begin with, we'll make a contract through the System.
Then our next destination will be the exchange district]
I declared our next course of action, I was her master now, she had to accept it.
[Yes]
We vowed our part of the deal, calling the System as its witness. Well, a one way deal in this case, since she basically pledged her loyalty to me.
Thus she picked up the most important things left in the camp. Like the daggers once possessed by her companions.
I could see her a little pained, but she obeyed nonetheless.
We arrived without much problem at the shuttle stop. She seemed to have a [tool] bought from the [shop] that was able to construct a little map of a territory you already visited.
I must admit that I've been a little hasty coming here without preparations.
But I was eager to eat and grow, furthermore I couldn't really stand to go around as a baby anymore.
We arrived at the inner city's station, it was bustling with lives.
Most were celidres but you could see strange being every so often.
Humanoids with tentacles, strange appendices and so on.
We moved toward the southern part of the inner section.
I wanted to sell these two tusks, and even the thinks Vix picked up from the camp.
We didn't really need them once she got to become my real servant.
Forty minutes later of walking through the white streets of Elkatra we arrived.
I wish I had some [coin]s with me to take a vehicle. Since I started to feel these tusks weighting on my shoulders.

Still I maintained an unperturbed expression.
Maybe I've been a little silly there. But now it's done.
I placed the tusks down, faking to be pondering about something.
While Vix was looking at the enormous hall that had it's arched entrance a few meters from us.
A white and golden dome, with an overall oval perimeter.
Inside it we could see an endless number of merchant stands. Users were hurriedly walking around and trying to strike favourable deals.
There were even the cabins containing what I learned to be the 'robots' of the system. They were like its avatars, explained Vix to me.
I lacked even this very knowledge that was pretty commonly distributed.
My days at the gymnasium weren't as beautiful as one could imagine. I had been bullied heavily in there, deemed as one of the weakest.
Because of this I didn't attend nor took particular attention on the various lessons.
Still uncle Luse supported me every time I came back to his mansion. Giving me good food and healing me the heaviest injuries.
He couldn't protect me as a matter of fact.
External users couldn't interfere inside the gymnasium, and inside it was prohibited extreme violence.
My life has indeed never been in real danger during my period attending the gymnasium.
Back on track I picked up the tusks and moved towards one of the robots to sell them for good.
While doing so I ordered to Vix to sell all her things except for one dagger, her cloths and [tool]s.
[I wish to sell this two tusks] I said, focusing my nano-energy and maintaining the telepathic link.
For me this is not tiring at all, I've even spoke telepathically a lot with Vix too.
But I think this might not be the case for her, even if I am the one to initiate the bridges she seems to be rather fatigued.
Probably this is how my species should communicate, since I find very difficult the normal speech.
She will have to bear with it until I turn her.
[The system will provide an exchange of 114 coins, Is that fine?]
Hearing the response of the robot I was a little taken aback.
Hat was a really big sum of coins if confronted with my old job.
It corresponded to at least a hundred days of work in the mines.
[deal] I said, already anticipating the shiny golden objects I would receive.
Then my tusks disappeared from their position and a little leather pouch appeared in their place.
Probably containing my precious [coin]s inside.
[Would you like to pay 5 coins to get a credit card? With a transaction of 40 coins you can obtain the {telepathic transfer} ability too.
They are special discounts offered by the system on your first purchase.]
Said the robotic voice, I was a little intrigued and the idea of carrying all these [coin]s around didn't please me.
[I will take the {telepathic transfer} please] I responded.
[very well]
Soon after I saw a good portion of the [coin]s in the pouch disappear.
Then a strange feeling entered in my mind, as if knowledge I had forgotten in the past suddenly came back.
Then I pointed my index finger towards the pouch and a string of blue nano energy connected to it.
The coins completely disappeared but at the same time a new voice was present in my status.
Just under my [Ownings] there was now [Funds: 74 coins].

8 509Lady of Beasts
Magic has vanished from the modern world, relegated to 'biased accounts' and fairy tales. It has no place in the world of heroes and science. Or so the modern people thought. They would be proven wrong, as one of the eldest lineages of the magical world is revived, to once more aim for dominion over the world of magic and man. Update: 19.4.2021: Revised paragraph formatting to ease the reading experience. Feedback is appreciated! Update: 16.07.2021: The last chapter is written! The title has also been changed, from "Return of Magic, Ascendance of the Old Blood", to "Lady of Beasts". [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 302The Skywalker Chronicles
Luke Skywalker wakes up nude in a new world after going to bed as usual. Adventure with him as he readily abandons his previous life and discovers all the wonders of this new world. This is my first attempt at writing that I actually posted anywhere. English is my first language but I pretty much suck at it. This novel will have sexual content but as someone who can’t stand reading those grocery store romance novels I will likely do as Robert Jorden and just say “they did it” and end it with a fade out scene. I lied, there will now be grocery store romance novels levels of sex scenes. I will however mark those chapters with “Eros”. Eros as in one of the Greek gods of love making. Feel free to skip those chapters and pretend that it was a fade out sex scene. And finally, this is not a Star Wars Fan Fiction. The origin of the MC’s name will be explained as the story progresses. Skywalker is just such an awesome name I couldn’t help it. Anyways, we all know Star Gate comes in first followed by Star Track and then Star Wars. I give no promises on release dates or time.

8 169Druid Evolution (A Battle Royale, Druid MC LitRPG/Gamelit Adventure)
A high school biology teacher is sucked into a new reality, where a mysterious Gamemaker forces him to fight for his life. With no other choice, Theodore Cross must become a Druid and master the powers of nature to protect himself -- and those he loves the most. New chapters every weekday at 9 AM CST. For advance chapters, see my Patreon page! Discord for Druid Evolution --------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: 1. A pretty standard LitRPG apocalypse set-up, with certain high-potential players getting invited to participate in an Arena. 2. A MC who is human and empathetic, who makes mistakes and flounders sometimes, but who is willing to fight and kill to protect his friends. 3. A quest to save his best friend and crush from another party of players led by two psychopaths. The MC doesn't vie for power, but does what he thinks is right and gains power along the way. The basic set up resembles a love triangle, but will not go that way. 4. A Game/System that is reminiscent of both Skyrim and Dungeons and Dragons. 5. Some gore and violence, mild horror, some foul language, but no sexual situations or overly traumatizing content. 6. Typos -- this is a first draft, so bear with me! I am going to keep writing forward, then go back later and take comments and suggestions into account.
