Arriving where he found the ore, Grekorio try to recall when he encountered them, he try to remember from which direction they had come from.
After mulling his brain, Grekorio get the answer, and start to walk deep in forest. Each time he find a herb he opens the book and search for the herb after finding it he say out loud, and a window appear showing the herb, and it description, meaning he got it right.
On the way, he notice a lot of troll's trail meaning that he is in the right way. Grunts could be heard around him alerting his distracted mind, he immeadiately start to concentrate on the stealth skill, and sneak around the bushes.
Didn't take long before he meet a troll walking deep in the forest, Grekorio start stalking it.
After half a hour of stalking, the troll arrive at a village with wooden fences around it, inside the village there is only trolls, everything crudely made, but it mean that there is someone ordering them.
'They have society now? For them to develop like this, they would need someone strong that can gain their respect, and intelligent enough to create roles for them.....which means an evolved troll or something like that.'Analyzing the trolls from the alleys while continuing to pursue the same troll, he had an inkling in what to do to complete this quest.
It entered a house, which is the bigger in all village, Grekorio stop in the alley beside the house, seeing the guard in he front door, he shake his head, and start to look for a way to enter the house, without having to look around, he see some crates align in way that make possible to climb on the house roof then jump to the other side, seeing that a thought came to him'It can't be that simple right.'.

Even while thinking that he start to climbing the crates, careful to not make noise, soon reach the roof of the house beside the one that the troll entered.
Looking at the window of the second floor, where he will try to jump, he see the troll that he was stalking reach for something inside his clothes, and take out an ore golden in color, giving it to someone on a throne, respectfully while kneeling.
Grekorio move his eyes a little and see a 5 meters green giant sitting on a throne, it reach for the ore, giving it a serious look, suddenly start laugh(?) out loud, but to Grekorio it's grunts sounded more like cacophony of sounds.
It gave some orders to the kneeling troll in a deep grunt(?), after which the troll hurried away, The giant sit back in the throne and started to admire the ore in it's hands.
Grekorio was dazed for a second, but after he recovered he started to furiously think about what he should do,'I have two option here, one, sneak in the house and kill the giant troll who's probably the king around here. second is to pursue the troll who delivered the ore, it will probably be going back to the mine, and after killing it clear the mine of trolls...'
'If i kill the troll's king, it would make chaos descend in the society since they would not have a leader anymore, and they would know how to use
the Deep Gold Ore, while if i pursue the troll that was ordered find the mine after stalking him and kill it and all others trolls in the mine, they won't have the ore and i will complete the quest, but since the king know of the mine whereabouts,probably, he will send some trolls there.' weighing the pros and cons, he first the the forest map and mark where the village is, then climb down and start to follow the same troll that showed him the way to the village.

Their destination, a mountain, Grekorio noticing their direction had the sudden urge to facepalm, afte thinking back then he found the ore, the direction where the trolls came from were this mountain, but after finding the trolls that he is stalking now, he changed where he was going.
One hour later he found himself at the foot of the mountain with a lot of trolls going around with pickaxe in hand.
He immediately sneaked behind the troll, that he was following while unsheathing his sword silently, he jumped at it's back pushed it's chin up and shoved the sword at the troll's throat, fastly putting a hand on it's mouth to prevent it from grunting.
Draggin the body back at the woods, he started to sneak around the mine to understand the situation there.
Half a hour later.
Grekorio leans on the rocky wall of a cave inside the mine, while summarizing what he had seen.'So while the king is intelligent, he is the only one, this mine there are only trolls mining without a worry, with only mining ores in the mind....*creppy laugh* that make my job easy.'
Grekorio stand up and again use his stealth to go around the mine.
Every now and then you can hear low grunts from inside the mines.
Grekorio stand beside a troll who has it's head sorrounded by blood.
'And it's the last one.'
「Quest completed」
A window appear in front of him confirming his thoughts, he search around the mine one more time to see if he left anything behind, and marking where exactly is the mine before he start to walk out the mine in direction of the village.
On the way there, again each time he find a herb he opens the book and search for the herb after finding it he say out loud, and a window appear showing the herb, and it description, meaning he got it right.
Opening his character icon to distribute his points that he got from the level up.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)

A Fragmented Mind
"Hi there. My name is Richard Maddox, but my — admittedly nonexistent — friends call me Rick. I live in a world of superheroes and villains. A world filled with magic and physics-defying powers, and in this world, I'm just an ordinary, completely average 17-year-old boy. My imaginary friends, however, are as far from average as you get. You think you're good at deluding yourself? Well, stand back, because it's time for a master to show you his craft. Welcome to my life, the life of a madman." This story was originally inspired by the 'Legion' novella series written by Brandon Sanderson. If you've read those books and liked them, it might be worth giving this a read. The same goes if you haven't read them either, I guess. (Currently re-writing earlier chapters)

A crumbling autumn leaf
DROPED That systems comes out of nowhere, he's fine with that, it will be hard, but he can bring everyone... What do you mean we don't get to go to the tutorial? Well fuck. How did everyone else die anyway? They just needed to stay silent and not touch webs! Magic isn't even that hard, they could have survived this if they had just listened! Now his family is gone and Aki has nothing but time and the system notifications to figure out what actually happened to the rest of the world, perhaps even finding another reason to live after he finishes destroying the dungeon he spawned at from inside out. ***** This novel bases heavily on novels like Defiance of the fall, The new world and The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I would like to think that's it though, so please point out any sort of copying. As someone has pointed out though, i warn now that the main character is bisexual, so please, don't waste your time if that bothers you.
