《The Third Prototype》Waiting

Um.... Why did he react that way? I succeed creating my circle, maybe Paul is so happy that he brag to his friends or something. Oh well... Since I'm now technically Grade 1 Aura Practitioner, I can register as an adventurer. Hehe~~ I'm excited
I go out the training room, and walk towards the adventurer guild. I don't know why, but every villager looked at me weirdly. Maybe I'm just to handsome? Different from the first time I come here, but the adventurer guild is really lively. People come and go, drinking, joking. Overall it's a fun atmosphere.
I approach the receptionist table and see the woman from yesterday. The one that is assaulted by those 5 thugs.
As soon as she sees me, she bowed her head "Hello can I help you?"
Such a polite woman. She's pretty too.
"Um... I want to register as an adventurer. Can you help me?"
"Sure, fill up this form and wait in the testing area. The testing area is in the second floor. You can't miss it. There's a big sign over there" the woman smiled while handing me the form.
It is a standard form. It ask name, origins, skills, etc. I fill out the best I could and handed it back to the receptionist. Before I go to the testing area I asked her if she is okay.
"Thank you for asking, I'll be fine. Mr. Paul handles everything. It's rare for people causing trouble in this guild branch. All because of Mr. Paul" she said as her eye turn to stars.
This woman idolize Paul very much, I think.
"Oh, you were with Mr. Paul yesterday right? Can you tell Mr. Paul that Josie from the adventurer guild sends her regard?"
"Can you just, I don't know, do it yourself? Paul work here right?"

The woman sigh "That's the thing, Mr. Paul is not usually here. He likes to roam about" she pouted.
"Well, if I meet him I will tell him" I said as I left for the testing area
"Thank YOU" She waved her hands at me. She's kinda cute, I don't know what she sees in Paul. Besides, Paul already have a wife. Eh, I'll try not to think about it.
===================================================================================
"Number 47, number 47 into the testing room please"
Sigh... That damned woman didn't tell me there's a queue for testing. I got number 99 as well. Fuck my luck. Today will be a long day
===================================================================================
"Number 69, number 69 into the testing room please"
For pete's sake man, this is so long. It's going dark and it's still number 69. FUCK
Noticing my displeasure, one of the worker there approached me "It is alright boy, the guild opens 24/7"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'll be here all day...........
Sob.... Sob......
===================================================================================
"Number 98, number 98 into the testing room please"
Finally. After this it's my turn. The sky turned dark hours ago. I bet it's almost morning now. And I'm so fucking hungry as well. I didn't bring any money because I didn't have any money. I can't buy food or drinks. FUCK me man. Not like I need to eat and drink as my body has the abilities to absorb nutrients from air (A/N: I don't know how that works either) but not eating and not drinking feels so uncomfortable. At least I'm not the last one. The last number is number 100 by the way.
I watch as number 98, the person before me finish. As I tried to enter the room the worker there said "Sorry, we are going to take a short break to refresh our self"
Me and number 100 cursed out loud
WHAT THE FUCK!!!

As soon as our workload decreases, I will return. Thanks for reading! 💙] No one ever knows the whole story. Nestled deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, something is emerging. Kept in absolute secrecy, it seeps into a fading town, quietly shared from person to person. For Alden Bensen, a directionless high school graduate, this discovery could mean an escape from his empty existence. To Rachel DuValle, perpetually underestimated and dismissed by the world, magic represents a chance to become something much greater than herself. In the face of an unsuspecting world, their decisions shape the growth of a budding society discovering untold power. This potent force offers anyone the power to change humanity forever—or send it cascading into swift and total annihilation. Want this story in smaller bites? Click here!

8 204Library of Knowledge - A tale across worlds
This is a story of power and knowledge. El is a mysterious being living in the Library of Knowledge whose only purpose in life is to learn. Connected to many worlds she appears to help all she deems deserving in exchange for knowledge.Stories and knowledge of the past and future from many worlds, the library has it all. The doors to this library are hard to find, but reality is stranger than fiction.-*-*-*-*-Author: It's hard to categorize such novels properly, so I recommend my novel to those who like stories with many elements woven together to form an engaging world where things happen not because the author wills it, but because the story wills it from the author. Even though I have quite a few chapters written already, if they aren't well received I will stop posting them. The content of the story may be mentally traumatizing for some, please read at your own risk.
8 158The Undying Magician
How would a true immortal with average talent in magic fare within a world where magic is everything? In the world of Aria, only a small fraction of the population are classified as magicians.These magicians are able to use magic through the manipulation of the mana they are born with and are the core of the military strength within every nation.However, one nation in particular uses magicians to an even higher extreme than the others.This nation is known as The Republic of Arcania.The largest power in Aria. Our story follows Nathan Fox as he graduates from high school and is sent to the Arcane Academy for his required military training as a magician before he eventually serves his ten year term in the military.Nathan has been a true immortal ever since he got a semi-magical disease that makes any damage done to his body instantly reverse itself, bringing him back to his top form on the day that he became an immortal. Ever since then, it has been impossible for Nathan to die.But there are worse things in the world than death.And if the power-hungry magicians of the world were to learn of Nathan's true immortality?Then he might just experience those things himself. What will happen to Nathan as he traverses life in the academy?Will his secret be found out?Or will he be able to safely make it through the four years of academy life with his secret intact? That has yet to be foretold. The beginning of the story starts out slow for what many Royal Road readers are used to and then speeds up after around chapter 20 or so. It is a school arc, so it is supposed to be slow. Most of the combat and action isn't seen until after these chapters, which you can view as an introduction to the world, the characters, and magic itself. Many of the reviews are outdated due to edits I've been making along the way through the story. Specifically some of the edits going over the world itself, including pointing out in the story some of the things a few of the reviewers missed when they wrote their reviews, along with fixing other things that were pointed out in the story from the reviews and comments. This book is also being edited as it's being written, so some small parts might change as I get suggestions from readers. I do not write harem or sexual content in my stories. Ever.
