《Rise of the Empress of Stars》New Friends and Little brothers
Advertisement
The cold winds start to blow as the sun gradually sets over the horizon, but we can still see that the small figure engrossed in training in the back mountain of the monastery is sweating and the amount of training is quite a lot for a girl under a year old.
71,72,73,74,75,76…..82, phew that's 13 more since the time i started to exercise in the afternoon. This amount of training is enough for the first day and slowly increases overtime.Hmm I should think of a way to subjugate those little guys in the monastery.Ouch what was that! Zera looks at her feet just to find an apple rolling across and the shouts of a chubby girl searching for her apple.
Hehehe I think that’s an easy way to conquer these kids, but first let's get this little girl, Zera turns around with the apple,” hey I got the apple here.”
“Huff huff Th ah thank you, my name is Inora”, she said while taking the apple and wiping it on her skirt. Zera lips twitched a little watching the apple being cleaned by using the already a bit soiled skirt.
“Hello, I am Zera,” I said, while still looking at the apple in the girl's hand.”Hmm do you want it, you can have it if you like but you have to play with me afterwards!” Inora said while quickly stuffing the apple in my hand as if I am going to say no.
Wait what! When did I ever say I want your apple little girl. You know what looking at how cute you look with your serious look I won’t say anything. “Thanks, but how did the apple get thrown here and are you getting bullied?” Zera asked, looking at the sorrowful state of the dress and small pinch marks on her cheeks.

Inora’s expression became sad at the mention of bullying but she quickly denied it while waving her arms in front ”no no they just thought I was cute and wanted to pinch my cheeks, though a few of them pinched quite hard it was fine.” Inora explained quickly as if I am going to misunderstand.
Zera understood this poor girl. She didn’t even know they were bullying her and she is still explaining to them. ”Okay, can you take me to meet them? I also have a new game to play with them.” Zera asked as she imagined welcoming her first group of little brothers calling her boss from now on.
As we near the clearing in the backyard of the monastery I can see two guys bullying a little monk for his bald head.
“Hey Ren and Lancer, meet my new friend Zera and don’t you guys pinch her she’s less than a year old. She also has a new game for us to play with!” Inora said while holding my shoulders in protective posture while the two guys shifted their attention from the poor monk to us.
“Hello” Zera waved her hand as both Ren and Lancer looked at her up and down. These guys seem to be around 3 to 4 years old, around the same age as Inora. They look pretty good if they don't have their noses up high, well anyway here come the first batch of little brothers.
“Little girl, what's the game that you can play with your big brothers? I must warn you though you can't go to your mommy crying after you lost okay! If you do then the next time I see you I will pinch you until your cheeks become red and take your snacks away!” Ren said while trying to imitate a ferocious expression on his face and pinching his hands in the air.

What’s up with stealing snacks and pinching cheeks, that look at the end shit I got to bite my tongue to stop laughing out loud. Need to teach these guys how to be a bully after taking them down, otherwise they are gonna ruin the name of bullies. “Okay, but I want to have a bet with you guys. If I win you have to call me boss and do whatever I say from now on, If I lose you can have my snacks from now on.” Zera said trying hard to stop the laughter from spilling out after seeing their pretentious I am a bully face.
“Come on, are you guys seriously afraid that you can't even beat a little girl over 7 months old!” Zera said provocatively while raising an eyebrow.
“Who is gonna lose to you! Come on Lancer let’s show this little girl who’s the boss here” Ren said furiously while pulling Lancer towards with a dark face.
“The game is simple, you just have to break the apple in half with only your hands!” Zera said while showing as innocent of an expression as she can make with a sly smile in her eyes that she can't hide that her father would have instantly recognised, as the smile she always has before setting him up to get scolded by his wife.
“And you can throw it on anything, only with your hands, guys.” Zera added again with a smile as she watched Ren take the apple from her palm. Seeing Inora’s worried expression “Don’t worry they won't win and we can also get two attendants from now on.” Zera added.
“ Hmm what! No, I am just worried that they will spoil the apple and we won't be able to have it.” Inora said while still looking at the apple nervously and in a position to catch it if it falls again.
Girl, though we just made friends, are you sure you are concentrating on the right thing!!! Looks like you might even sell me for a delicious piece of cake.
Zera took Inora to the side and sat down while munching on the apple god knows where Inora took out of and watching Ren and Lancer struggling to break the apple.
“We can’t do this alone Lancer, come on let’s try together. I will hold on this side and you sit opposite me. Pull when on the count of three okay.” Ren said, as Lancer nodded his head and sat down in his position ready to pull.
“One…
Two…..
THREE!!!”

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl, perhaps a little well to do, but not exceptionally so. She had her college classes, she had her job that her uncle gave her, and she had a nice boyfriend who was sweet if a little awkward. Except, when a mugger accosts Cadence and her boyfriend attempts to wrestle a gun away from the criminal, Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl, with the kind of wound Cadence had, would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But a normal girl wouldn't then open her eyes again and learn that death is not as permanant for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn again, and again. Each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch? Any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each. So begins The Many Lives of Cadence Lee. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
8 113From Fake Dreams
The Magus Killer was dying. He had done all he could to be a Hero and save as many people as he could. He killed his father to do it. He killed his adopted mother to do it. He killed his wife in the hopes to put an end to the need to do it ever again. He failed in rescuing his daughter as a result of his efforts. All he had left was a cursed and failing body, a sizable yet antiquated home in Fuyuki Japan, and his adoptive amnisiac son whose life he had destroyed in the first place. And then the dreams came. Dreams of War, Fire, Curses, unborn Gods, Heroes, and Monsters. Dreams of unresolved conflicts, promises, dreams, and tasks. Dreams with his nearly clueless son in the middle of it all. The Magus Killer was dying. But he could still prepare for what was to come. And fortunately, that was something he was still terrifyingly exceptional at. Currently at chapter 60 on FF.net
8 86Is it Really Ok for a Dungeon Master to Manage a Dungeon?
Leo Flores just wanted to play D&D with his friends. He didn't expect anything life changing to happen during their odd little campaign, but next thing he knows he's been summoned by those same friends as the Demon King who will lead their dungeon to greatness. This takes being a Dungeon Master to a whole new level doesn't it? A fun romp of a story that takes a few jabs at the common tropes found in isekai LN while also mainting a genuine plot. Some moments and characters are based off my own campaigns I've run before. Trying to upload once a week, but may take up to two weeks to upload.
8 83A Bloody Game
Eric Hunter, a boy who took a gamble with his life on the line, soon finds out that the pay off took a very different direction that he thought. Having just awoken from a pre-op only to find himself confused and all alone in a changed world and a hospital consumed by chaos he must do all he can to survive. In a new world where society crumbles and laws are merely pretty words on written paper, how will a boy who has been restricted his whole life live now that there is nothing to hold him back? When everything turns into a zero sum game of dog eat dog, they'll find that The Hunter is an all too willing participant, but he will soon find out that he isn't the only player of this game. First story I'm posting and I don't really have a cool synopsis, sorry everyone, but this story is just another LitRPG apocalypse. I guess the only difference is that the main character isn't a hero. He's not here to save the world, he's not here to make friends, and he's definitely not here to save everyone. He's probably what the villains in other similar stories would be actually. Just writing for fun, advice or constructive critism is welcomed, writing style prone to change. Warning: Incredible amounts of poor grammar, Gore, Profanities, Traumatizing content, and cliches(I plan to have multiple main characters, maybe this is too ambitious for my poor skills, but it seems like it would be fun to try, the other MCs won't show up until later on.) The cover image isn't mine I just found it online. It's a piece by Stephanie Frey This takes inspiration from a lot of great stories on here, but I find the beginning to be most similar to Blood Lust by DefinitelyNotJormlung. Starcraft and Warhammer 40k and survival world rpg by S_Conary will also influenced this (at least that's my plan if I ever get that far or finish this) Also please stay with me until chapter 3. I suck at starting stories, but have been told I get better as I'm further along.
