《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 7: Shopping part 1
Advertisement
After they finish their meal, we move out and start to do the shopping
For starters, the innkeeper wife told me to follow the list but there will be other things that are needed as well and as such she told me to keep my eyes wide open all the time, who knew because she said that there are things that you can only know you need it once you see it. Not only that, she also ask me to look closely at the reaction of those children as they might wanted to buy something but might be too shy to ask
(Well, that's true, even I will have difficulty to ask something from someone I just met) [Azumi]
And there's also one thing that I need to consider, and that's my frugality, since my uncle and aunty are the one that have been controlling the inheritance from my parents, only giving me the bare minimum allowance and necessities for me while they managed to run away spending by parents fortune, I live a frugal life, not that I think it's a bad thing bad I definitely don't want to do that to those children! I mean, spending excessively are bad and that's a common sense but for me, spending the normal amount of money for something aren't something that I used to do and as such, I need to get rid of this as soon as possible
(Now that I think of it, just how did the court and the children protection act in my country doesn't smell something wrong happening to me!) [Ash]
Sigh... Oh well, let just hope they reap what they sow and let my parents money be used for something beneficial rather than them spending it
(Huh!) [Ash]
Karon and Singa seem to be looking at the candy stall there, quite a large sugar coated apple, wait they coated it with honey! Now that's something that even I wanted to try

"Karon, Singa, you want some?" [Ash]
"Umm!" [Karon]
"Grr... yes..." [Singa]
Not a solid yes, but I'll take that as a yes
"How about the other?" [Ash]
""But the money!?"" [Rean, Elise]
"Well, I ask whether you want it or not, not the cost, am I right?" [Ash]
""..."" [Rean, Elise]
"Well then, excuse me, give me eleven of those candy!" [Ash]
"Ohh! You are the one taking down that Behemoth last night! Well, I'll give you half the price since my daughter had been saved by your actions yesterday!" [Stall owner]
"Is that so! Then I'll gladly take it" [Ash]
"Well, here you go!" [Stall owner]
"Thank you so much! And you guys, don't forget to thanks the handsome Brother here" [Ash]
"Haha, stop it, they're supposed to called me uncle" [Stall owner]
"Thank you big brother!" [Children]
"Haha, you're welcome kid! Come again!" [Stall owner]
And right now they are licking the candy in a hurried manner, well I can understand that, they must really wanted to eat those thing and even I myself think that it is a delicious candy, but it's still a bad manner and as such I scolded them for that, saying that the candy won't run away to which they start eating it more slowly, Except for Zerolith, gosh that kid eat really fast, he's the first to finish the behemoth meat as well
As I walk around looking for the clothing shop, some rascal men Arrive
"Hey you, why are you being so saintly to those kid, they are nothing but trash and their existence bring nothing but misfortune" [Rascal]
"But...!" [Rean]
As Rean are about to back his little brother and sister, I intervened
"Leave it to me Rean" [Ash]

"Umm!" [Rean]
Well, This rascal need to be thought a lesson, I mean I will talk to them first and if they changed their mind that's good but I doubt that will happen
"Do you have any problems with my sweet little brother and sister" [Ash]
"You are fromn the yesterday!" [Rascal]
"Baah... who care, I bet the Behemoth are on the verge of dying anyway, even I can take down that thing" [Rascal]
"Well, I ask once again, do you have an..." [Ash]
"Yes, Yes I do! They are just a lowlife, their existence is an eyesore don't you get it" [Rascal]
"Huh, you had the nerve to said that to my sweet little brother and sister Infront of me, I'll give you that but I have to ask you to leave or else something bad will happen to you" [Ash]
"Like what!" [Rascal]
"Like this" [Ash]
Yup, I knew it, these idiot won't bulge, so they received a rope less bungie jumping ticket from me, I simply create a strong wind underneath them and make them flew upward and when they are about to hit the ground, those wind magic just make them go for another round. Well, just seeing and hearing them make me tired, so I make an earth chair for me to sit down as I listened to their plead of letting them go. Well, I comply not because of their request, but because Elise had been looking at me saying that we shouldn't disturb the flow of traffic (huh, here I am thinking she will said what I did is wrong, but she's more concern about the traffic, should I praise her or not)
Once I put those rascal to the ground, Mara, Singa and Savel wanted to deliver a finishing blow, well I had to stop them, that's an obvious act as I don't want them to get unnecessarily hurt. But, I do gave them a warning
"Next time, let just said it won't be wind that will be sent towards you" [Ash]
As I said that, I activate my fire and thunder magic and there they go, started running. Well, since I did congest the road, I break down back those chair and apologize to the spectators around me (well, they are enjoying that show, so I guess it's a win-win situation, but it's still bad to do that and as such I still apologize, not wanting those children to imitate me in the future)
"..." [Rean]
Rean look a little bit down, was it because I stopped him? Should ask him later.
As we walk after the bungie jumping incident, we arrive at the clothing shop for children

Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
