《Metalbound》Chapter 5- Homeward
Advertisement
I rushed over to check on Four-Arms. He still had the sword sticking through him, and he had flames licking his chest. It appeared like it was burning him from the inside out.
"Take it out" he rasped.
I slowly pulled the flaming sword out of his chest, sweating from the heat. I could see the blackened flesh on his chest and it looked very serious. The weapon had gotten dangerously close to Four-Arms' heart.
Amara ran over to us and kneeled by my side.
"He is not doing good. He needs help now" she said.
He coughed, and rolled over to his side.
"You *cough* can't save me. I'm done" he wheezed.
He appeared more coherant than when he was locked up. I frantically looked around, hoping for something to stand out. I could not do anything to help him. He laid down his head on the ground, and let out a deep breath. He was gone.
Beside me, I heard Amara let out a strangled cough. A tear ran down her cheek.
"He sacrificed all for us. I don't think that we could have taken down the Daemon without him" she said.
Bella flapped over to us and put a hand over his chest. She closed his eyes gently.
"He is at peace" she said.
We walked back over to the caravan cars, and sat down on the rubble. Almost all of the Daemon's imps were dead, and half of the rebellious imps had died. The triplets had stacked the bodies in a pile, and lit them on fire.
The flames burned hot and fast, consuming the bodies. I looked away, it was a brutal sight. I hated the sight of death.
"Ryan, you need to get back through the rift" said Amara.
I looked back at it, and it seemed so far away. Wait, it appeared to be shrinking.

"The rift is destabilizing. We killed the creator of the rift, so it is going to collapse soon" said Amara.
"What do I do?" I said frantically. I didn't want to be stuck on an alien world.
Fiery wings erupted fromm Amara's back. "I can take you" she grinned.
"Calm down, it's an ability" said Amara. "It's called Wings of Fire. I should be able to get you through the rift in time"
"Go. We have this under control" said the triplets.
Amara picked me up by my armpits, and flapped her wings.
"Holy shit, you are a lot heavier than you look" she gasped.
We slowly gained height and speed as we headed toward the rift. It appeared to be cracking, and it was dangerously close to closing.
Amara groaned with effort, and blasted through the rift. We hit the ground hard on the other side, and left a trail in the dirt. I turned around just in time to see the rift destabilize and wink out of existence.
"Oh no. Amara, the rift closed" I yelled.
"It is okay" she chuckled. "I had nobody to go back to anyway".
I wasn't sure what to do. I had just brought a demon to Earth. She was nice, but still.
"Ryan, it's fine. If this world is newly integrated, the Academy will be here soon. I won't be here for long" she said soothingly.
"What is the Academy?" I asked her.

Not Another Isekai RPG Story Alternate
The story ends at Alternate Route Finale. Ch 2-2 and on can be treated as Extra Chapters. I still hadn't edited that one and it's low on priority. I may come back to it if I'm in the mood. Most of the portions of the story will NOT focus on the skills, stats, grinding or battles. More about the dialogues (or the internal monologues) and the MC interacting with the world (or glitching, if you name it.). ... With parts of his memory lost, Takeshi, a 25-year old lazy office worker was transported to a game world. Using his casual knowledge on video-game mechanics, join Takeshi's journey as he discover more about the world, his companions and himself. (only if you're interested though.) My personal review: from ch-2 on expect a lot of perversion going on. It can be pretty weird, like the MC want to be a girl and Y*ri other girls, Fut*nari folks, Traps, the mention of t*ntacle monsters and some lulzy display (like shoving a morning star up someone's b*tthole in retaliation). In here, the MC will discover new things as he kept on exploring and trying different stuff. This story will mostly be character-driven. Explanations about the world and its mechanics was kept to a minimum. The MC's on the shameless side with not much real-life common sense (maybe) and he's (probably) not righteous at all. The other characters can be pretty weird as well. It won't focus on romance. Well that's about it.

Aeternalis
One born of nothingness. A world born of everything. To return all to nothing. Or surrender to everything. A man born into an infinite world, trying to find his path to the top. Trials and tribulations come from friends and foes alike until all bow before him. ------------------------------------- Author here! This is my 3rd story on RoyalRoad, the other two having long since been dropped years ago. They were a mess of ideas and had no real substanence to them, leading me to begin hating writing them and eventually just stop writing altogether for about a year and a half. Finally, after reading hundreds of thousands of pages of novels, from low fantasy to sci-fi litrpg's to thousands of pages long xianxias, I finally feel ready to write a real story that isn't a cesspool of ideas blended together. I plan to see this out to the end, as I already have the first few major arcs planned out unlike my other stories where I thought of ideas as I wrote. This story takes place in a world with a litrpg system, as per tags. This isn't a VRMMO or Reincarnation story. The main character exists in and is from said world. There are some differences from other litrpg's which will be explained in author notes in the few few chapters. I plan to publich 6-7 chapters a week, each 2-3k words long. If i fail to do so I will create a back-log I have to eventually make up but as of writing this it's the summer for me so I'll have plenty of time to write. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of Aeternalis.

The Last Death Mage
Since time immemorial humanity has always feared and shunned what it didn’t understand. Over time this changed a bit to encompass things that didn’t conform to their thoughts and ideals. Due to humanity’s stubbornness with which the enforced their ideals many lives were lost and changed. When humanity first clashed with monsters and the beings that use magic, this trait caused many bloody fights. Over time the fights escalated into battles and full on war on several occasions. Humanity due to their adaptability and persistence won many of these altercations, causing huge casualties to the magical beings. Humanity did not come out unscathed however; many of the empires and civilizations noted in human history fell due to these battles and wars. Eventually over time humanity and the magical beings came to a sort of agreement. Magic and the beings associated with it faded into the background of history, being relegated to myth and legend. Humanity meanwhile advanced leaps and bounds once magic faded, leading to our current level of civilization. Not all magical beings were content with this, thus they did their own actions and killed or fed on humans. This has led to many organizations to be formed concerning this, on both the side of humanity and the side of magical beings. They regulate and control the use of magic as well as protect humanity from the darker things that are now not but myth to them, but there is a reason humanity instinctually fears the dark. Unfortunately there are always those that are unsatisfied by the status quo, and those that are prejudiced against things that are different. This is a story of a young man who wanted nothing more than to be normal. Unfortunately Fate and the world he lives in do not easily allow that this, thus his life changed, not for the better. Everyone has heard of or read stories about monsters and legends, heroes and villains, this is one such story. Hi, this is my second attempt at a story here, the first was before the major overhaul happened and i lost everything related to that story due to PC troubles. I hope you enjoy this if you dont please leave some constructive criticism in the comments. An Editor and the like will be needed, but I will edit as problems are pointed out and as i proof read. This story will have no set schedule, unless of course I decide to type up a bunch in succession then i will note that in a chapter beforehand. ADDED NOTE: most sexual content will be in Interludes or sub chapters with a .5 attached. Profanity and gore however shall be plenty in the actual story, though the descriptives for the gore may be added later. (For example, in the prologue that gave a hint at what happened to the MC, will be enhanced so that the gore invokes more descriptive/complete mental pictures, though it may wait.) ~Tyroth Gideon

Wow. Soooooo original Marina. Peter taking a field trip to the Avenger's Compound? That's never been done before. If you're reading this, you've probably read other Peter fics. So, you get the gist. What's different about this fic is it's a reader insert! Now I've messed up the timeline A LOT (Barry Allen who?) with this. Aunt May let Peter live in the compound so she could travel the world like she's always wanted to. But (Y/n) and Peter both go to Midtown High. It'll make sense.... eventually.
