"Drap, Drap, Drap, Drap"
Horse sound hoarse approaching to Reno and Adi's location.
Reno was suddenly shocked by the arrival of several cavalry troops in the forest.
Twenty horse riders are wearing iron-coated armor complete with swords and spears approaching the location of the waterfall.
White horses that are such a big and clean look neatly lined up, stepping their feet towards Reno and Adista.
The nine girls who had previously played with Adis around the waterfall also come altogether with the horsemen.
In addition to the nine girls, two other horse riders appeared to wear quite luxurious armor, which was different from other horse riders.
These two horse riders are male figures with large, well-built bodies.
One of them has an old face around 50 years while the man next to him looks younger about 25 years old.
The 50-year-old man wore a shiny armor like gold while a 25-year-old man wore a bright silver helmet.
The two men seemed to have swords behind their backs.
Adis's expression looked happy seeing the coming cavalry, then ran towards the horsemen that had just come.
Like a spoiled little girl, she ran toward the riding man with a luxurious armor, then jumped behind the saddle of the old man's horse with a golden armor then hugged the man tightly.
"Father, huhuhu ......" Suddenly, Adis arrived crying sadly.
Adis hugged the old man while crying.
Hearing Adis's cry, the old man's expression looked worried but tried to keep smiling in front of the girl.
"Adis, my child, is it true that a strange creature pulled you to the bottom of the lake of this waterfall?" His father asked.
"Yes, Father, huhuhu ......" Adis answered while crying
"But you seem to be fine, can you explain to me what actually happened?" The old man asked while showing a suspicious expression.
Then Adis began to tell all the incidents that happened to her in the waterfall.
Adis told the story like a spoiled little girl, she said to her father passionately about how a strange creature pulled her from the bottom of the lake until how the girl eventually survived.
She told all the incurred event in detail to her father.

Adis also told in detail how Reno managed to help her heroically in a very particular way to her father.
Hearing Adis's story, nine girls and other cavalrymen turned towards Reno by showing a shocking expression.
They were increasingly shocked after seeing Reno's figure that was meant by Adis.
The man who was next to Adis had a young and handsome face turned out to be the hero who had saved Adis from the lake.
The nine girls who saw Reno at this time were like seeing a perfect man in front of them.
Who would have thought, this young man before them turned out to be very brave.
Besides being amazed, the nine girls were also pensive; their hearts began to falter and tremble, their eyes glazed at the good looks of Reno.
Unlike the nine girls, the young men with silver armor showed a different expression.
The hatred and envy implied from this man's expression seem so significant to the youth who saved Adis.
This man is "Patih hamangkubhumi," a person who is very trusted by the King in the kingdom where Adis lives.
One of the crucial positions in the royal bureaucracy on the ground is the position of "Patih."
This official can be said to be the prime minister who, together with the King, can participate in implementing government policies.
"Patih hamangkubhumi" is a charismatic young man, his face shows maturity and discipline.
"Young Master, would you please introduce yourself to me?" Adis's father asked Reno.
"He's Reno, Father!" Adis shouted, cutting off her father's conversation.
Reno was surprised by Adis's attitude because when he was about to reply to the middle-aged man's request, Adis had swiftly responded to her father's request.
Seeing this, Reno then smiled with Adis's attitude and then nodded his head to Adis and her father.
"Young Master Reno, I as the King of the Paragon kingdom would like to say a big thank you to young master because somehow this King could not return young Master's favor in the future for young master's heroic actions to our only daughter" after speaking, the King jumped from his horse saddle and walk towards Reno's position.

Reno then smiled and replied, "My lord king is too polite, as men, it has become common for us to help women, so your majesty does not need to exaggerate this problem."
The King smiled when he heard Reno's thoughtful answer then held out his hands towards Reno.
Reno then picked up the King's hand, who was now holding Reno's right hand, then shake him warmly.
"Young Master, you might not know how important Sri Adista is to this King's eyes because Sri Adista is our only child in the kingdom. If Young Master Reno does not help Sri Adista at that time, this King cannot imagine whatever will happen to me."
Reno smiled and replied, "Lord king, let's forget about the past, the most important thing now is Princess Adista life is not harmed."
Adis looked disappointed after hearing Reno call herself with the Princess title.
Adista suddenly cut off his father's conversation with Reno once again and said: "Young Master Reno, please do not call me "Princess," you may call me just by my name, Adis."
The King and other cavalries were suddenly shocked hearing Adis's statement because ordinary people calling Adis without the Princess title were putting the person's position as high with the King and the royal family.
Only the closest people like the King and Queen can summon Adis without a princess title.
Nobles or other top-notch of the neighboring kingdom must summon Adis with the Princess title because that is the rule that applies in the land of astral to a princess in a domain.
Reno was silent, even though he didn't overthink about the difference of the call with or without the title that Adis intended, Reno still nodded and smiled at Adis.
"Princess, I suggest that princess not too gentle with this man. Even though he is Princess benefactor, "said the man with the silver armor who is currently riding a horse.
"Besides, Princess also doesn't know the background of this man. So I would suggest you not treating this man special. "The man with the silver armor continued.
"Huft ... Patih Hamangkubhumi Adira, I have the right to consider Young Master Reno as a particular person in my eyes! "Adista said irritably.
"You have no right to forbid me! You don't know how I felt when the creature pulled my leg to the lake. "Adis answered with a high tone and then continued," Young Master Reno, in my eyes, is not only my hero but also the hero of the entire Paragon kingdom! "
Seeing the princess's quarrel with the royal adviser surprised the King, but then the King began to dissolve the situation.
"Adista my child, please stop fighting because Young Master Reno has sacrificed himself to save you, there is no harm if we invite the young master into the kingdom to receive appropriate compensation" The King replied.
Reno then fell silent but not for long he replied "No need for your majesty hospitality, this servant act of help to Adista basically with sincerity, so your majesty does not need to be too polite, this servant already happy enough to see Sri Adista save"
Hearing Reno's answer, Adis was surprised; if Reno could be invited as a guest and live temporarily around the kingdom, then there was an opportunity for Adis to know Reno more deeply.
Adis already amazed by Reno's action because, after all, the figure of Reno in the eyes of Adis is mysterious and charming. Adis wants to know the young man much further.
"Young Master Reno, Adis hopes that Young Master does not reject father's invitation, after all, Adis also wants to entertain young master Reno as a form of compensation for saving me," Adis said.
"If young master Reno rejects father invitation, then Adis is quite sad and confused on how Adis can repay the kindness of young master Reno in the future?" Adis continued with a sad expression.
Seeing the sad look emanating from Adis's face, Reno feels speechless then nodded, "Fine, fine; I won't reject the request of your kingdom."
In the end, twenty horsemen, including ten charming girls, left the location of the waterfall and brought Reno to the Paragon kingdom after getting confirmation of the young man's willingness to visit the palace.

Parental Controls
Reeve Williams always felt more at home in vivid virtual reality than in drab real reality, partly as an escape from the very real embarrassment of her technically inept parents, Walter and Wanda. When Reeve’s parents give her a new total-immersion virtual reality system for her birthday, Reeve reluctantly agrees to show them what it’s like…just for a few minutes. But a mistake only her technophobe father would make leaves Reeve facing the prospect of spending months in the greatly accelerated, fantastically complex, brutally unforgiving game world. With her parents. Posts will be every M/W/F. If I ever decide to try to turn Parental Controls into an ebook, I won't do so in such a way that I'd need to take down what I've posted to Royal Road. Thanks for reading!

The Core of a Factory
An abandoned steampunk arms factory, in the middle of a conflict torn former state of the Empire it served, gains a soul. This transforms it into a Lord, capable of turning land into power. Beset by enemies on all sides it must figure out how to win the war its creators lost a century ago. This is a progressive Dungeon Core novel (which is to say the core will progress and expand in scale, eventually) across multiple dimensions with different characteristics (e.g. steampunk, magic, mythological). It has rationalist leanings (paragraphs of reasoning) and litrpg leanings (there are stat blocks). The core game mechanical idea is something like "what if different flavors of magic power actually did come from controlling land" and then the story is: "what if there was a flavorless (artifact deck) dungeon core". Chapters will be relatively short (my aim is that in three column format each would fit on a wide screen monitor), the first few chapters - setting up the main character and mechanics - are currently the longest in the entire series. I write chapters in blocks, and then release them one a weekday (M-F; 6 PM GMT, unless RoyalRoad's publish thing screws up) until I run out. There may be a few days of gaps here and there if someone finds an egregious error I have to re-write around or if I am behind. In general though one can read this once a weekend. I may do slight retconns and edits, I'll make sure to put it in an authors note if I do.
