《Vienna's Game》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Phew, oh boy that was scary. Seriously, I can’t believe he would believe all those lies about me. What a stupid idiot, I bet even my students could lie better than that then again, they are teenagers and they are probably professionals at lying…
Being led by this strange man to a “hidden church” is a bit sketchy, but I have to keep it cool. The people of this world who summoned here think I am one of the strongest beings in this world. I cannot believe I was living my dream of getting isekai’d into another world. I wonder if I am as strong as they say I am.
That would make things less interesting though, in light novels like this, overpowering makes tension less boring because everything can be solved by brute force. I would rather use my other strongest muscle, which is my brain!
Using my brain to solve things is what will make me feel accomplished as a teacher! I can finally show my students that school is worth sinking their time into. If I can find any of my students in this world. Who knows if they got reincarnated with me, or if they did get reincarnated, would they still be even human?
They could have been reincarnated as a slime, or a spider, or a demon, or maybe even as an elf?! Being reincarnated as anything of those things would make them impossible to track. That is assuming I can survive long enough to track them down…
For now, I have to ensure my safety. I trust that my students can survive on their own without any problems. Do not worry kids, your teacher is coming to save you!
I glanced at Minister Juniper. His blue eyes seemed tired as if he was losing sleep over something. I noticed that he had some strands of white hair in his perfectly blond head. His skin was fair, and the outfit he wore reminded me of the generic armor knights would wear in those 5/10 fantasy Anime.

I glanced back at my arms. My skin was purely pale white, with some hints of color at my fingertips. I brushed my hair towards the front of my body with my hands and stared at them. My hair felt silky smooth, which was totally how it felt back in my previous life. Anyways, my hair seemed to be as white as my skin. I wonder what my eye color is like…
I looked back at Minister Juniper and shuttered at the thought of talking to him. Like seriously, how are you supposed to talk to people? If I remember correctly, western society usually fills in silent moments like this with a conversation, but how could I talk to a man, who is probably twice my age, and way taller than me?
When I glanced back at the floor, I noticed Minister Juniper looking at me without turning his head.
“Tell me spirit, what was your life before you got summoned?”
“W-what?”
“Do I need to repeat my question?”
“N-no, it's fine. I just didn’t expect you to ask that kind of question… my life, my life was great, I guess.”
“Great you say? Can you elaborate?”
Crap, I cannot give away information about my previous life that easily, like how am I going to explain what body pillows are like? How can I explain my piles of BL mangas? How can I even explain that I was a teacher? Think, Vienna, Think…
“I lived a life watching people fall in love, and support them, whenever I could.”
“So, you were a spirit that helped people fall in love?”
“You could say that.”
“I don’t know if that is a blessing or curse, for the High King to have bounded himself to you.”

“What do you mean?”
“Let’s just say his majesty used to get around back in the days…”
“So how many wives does my adoptive father have?”
“T-that is a good question… his majesty had many wives over the years, and even legalized polygamy for those in royalty and nobility, so it is fair to say that he has at least five.”
“Five?!”
“Are there any issues with that?”
“N-no, not at all.”
I can barely handle get one and this man has at least five! Give me a break.”
“His majesty is quite the womanizer compared to the rest of us in society, however.”
“What do you mean?”
“Although the High King proclaimed that polygamy is legal, it is still seen as a taboo thing in society. Many would rather stick to monogamy as it has been the law to for one man to marry one woman only.”
“I see.”
“Do you now?” Minister Juniper chuckled, “Then I guess you will learn how to fit into noble society just perfectly.”
I glared at the old Minister. What is this man on? I guess the societal rules of my previous world could be applied to do this one. But then again, I have not traveled outside the country I was born in ever, and western society seems to have different societal rules, even back then.
“D-do you think I can ever leave the manor before the year is over?”
“I can’t say why you couldn’t leave in the first place.”
“What do you mean?”
“Part of what you negotiated with his majesty, is that he would allow you free passage anywhere within the borders.”
“But still… surely he would try and put as many obstacles to prevent me to leave in the first place. Surely a bastard child suddenly appear would look bad to him.”
“As I said before, milord used to get around a lot, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much, besides, once you get appraised, I’m pretty sure I can once and for all confirm that you would be unstoppable to any obstacles that he could place in front of you.”
“I understand… but there are people who are foolish enough in the first place…”
Minister Juniper then stopped suddenly in the middle of the long hallway and turned to face the wall. He activated some kind of spell without muttering a word, but I noticed a magical circle appearing in front of his hands. The walls then started moving, revealing a hidden passageway.
“Come inside, the Hidden Church is this way.”
I nodded and entered the secret passageway. Minister Juniper was behind me. I glanced back to see him taking a step in, then using what I believe to be the same spell and closing the wall behind us.

The boy who fell in love with a tree
This is a story about a boy who fell in love with a tree… A story about powerful people changing the rulebook to stack the odds and line their pockets… I aim to create a story that will transport us so we get a glimpse of what that boy felt. The first 4 Chapters might be classified as a prologue depending on how you look at it. The boy quickly grows and the story really starts when the System arrives on Earth. I’m trying to achieve a relatively slow power progression and guide what we learn at a pace following the people in the story. There will be fighting but It’s more focused on base building. The MC is not all-powerful and all-knowing but he has some significant advantages. I’m trying to create a universe that makes sense in its own context. Much of what you will find, are my own world views, in a magnified way, as to make it for interesting fiction. The story took a life of its own when I started to write and I’m really happy with it. Not all of the tags I have marked will immediately be applied. There is stuff planned for far in the future such as the Sci-fi tag. There might be some cursing and gore but it is not very often. -------------- English is not my primary language, so I ask everyone to be forgiving. If you see a glaring error I would appreciate a msg but it is not feasible to fix everything. And if the story offends you, I wish you happiness, reading what you enjoy. ------------- Img link: https://unsplash.com/photos/EwKXn5CapA4

~~DROPPED~~Story Author: Anuel Proofreaders:Flubbykin (active)Chapters Proofread: 1-7; 28-39; 42-117; 120-133; 169-178; 197 - 211, 220-earliest) Ah, the world, the multi-universe made of perfect cycles. Cycles, which the only purpose is to purify soul – release it from the burden of its memories and experience, the process, that would let the soul be reincarnated again, to experience new life. The world is being born, it is being populated by souls, the smaller and bigger, the world would die and be reshaped anew. In a cycle. A never-ending process. Since the dawn of time, since the countless cycles, the pool of soul was closed, a soul that died could be reincarnated only within a System of its Administrator. Until now. Join us in our story of a single soul which because of certain events could no longer be reincarnated in its original world – being forced to be transferred into Universe ruled another Administrator – another God in world full of Fantasy and Magic, watch him casting aside his previous restriction and try living his life to the fullest… thought someone, somewhere, may have different plans for this weird, weird soul. Ps. There are game elements here Disclaimers and warnings: - This story uses clichés. Like, lots of it. - I am not a native English speaker, so my grammar may not be best (It actually is pretty horrible). First 80 or so chapters are a true butchery for eyes and I admit it. Shouldn’t I correct them then? I should. Why am I not doing it? Who knows. Maybe one day I will. - This story is pretty much an experiment. I try different perspectives, different styles, I can make some random Deus-ex-machina if I would consider that I made mistake in the story and decide to change it. - This story is written for pure fun, if you expect some mind-blowing plots and conspiracy of top-level authors – then you will be most likely disappointed. - Easter eggs. Easters eggs everywhere. Every now and then you will be able to spot single events, characters and lines of text that belong in different stories/mangas/movies/books and such. Of course, they do not belong to me but to the owners, though I am not listing them – I am sorry, but if you need to be told from where line comes, we won’t be friends. - And finally. The story is written for you and WITH YOU. If you have any suggestions, events, characters, skills, class… ANYTHING… you wish to see, please – tell me. In best case scenario I would use them, in worse – I would just not implement them, so what do you lose? Guyz I owe my thanks for their contribution: KenChi?

[Nudity Yes, but as of now no sexual content.] Phill is dying(Yeah, that cliche again). He has cancer and around a year to live. His degrading health has rendered him unable to go out as usual as once he used to do. Spending most of the time in the hospital, Phill plays Ulteria: the VMMORPG, which has time dilution giving him 2 years more than what reality is offering. That and all the world"s" of Ulteria to explore, but there will be someone and... READ THE CHAPTERS TO KNOW MORE. Note: *This story is solely focused on world-building. World-building that would help me with another project I have been working on for the last 4 months. That means it is a writing practice project for me. *Not a power fantasy. It is more inclined towards paranormal-romance twisted with virtual reality( no harem elements either), and how could I forget about the VMMORPG? So you could expect lots of new species, magic, races, system twists, and a lot of other things. That is if I update it( Naash scoffs at himself.) I am not going to update it constantly, not even twice a week. So any 1 or 2 stray readers who stumble upon this and mistakenly like it (Sorry in advance.) [I am sorry : ( I can't seem to get the spacing right in the chapter. I am going crazy, please ignore it. I will figure it out] This story is also available on webnovel under my username: Naash.
