Year 1032 of the Zhang Dynasty - Outlands of Heavenly Phoenix City - North garbage dump
(Nameless kid POV)
“Food... I need to find something“ Nameless kid
Scavenging in the garbage dump has always been my daily routine for as long as I can remember.
“...This may be good enough“ Nameless kid
I take a smelly chicken from a pile of trash.
“Good“ Nameless kid
Unlike others days, today I will eat something.
“*munch* *munch*“ Nameless Kid
I eat before others can take it away from me.
“Look the ugliest found something“ tall kid
The ugliest, my skin color is different from everyone in this city and because of that I have an endless mount of nicknames.
“You were too late, I eat all of it“ Nameless kid
“Blacky, how you dare to not share?“ kid
“Ha, as if you would do it“ Nameless kid
This isn't a nice place, I don't like it but that is how it is.
...
After that I kept searching till it was dark.
“Time to go back“ Nameless kid
I have a place to sleep in one abandoned house in the village.
“...“ village people
They really don't get tired of looking at me.
“Go away, bad augury“ village woman
A stone hit my head and I stagger for a moment.
“If you want a fight, don't hide and come at me you cowards“ Nameless kid
“...“ village people
This is not the first time, they fear me and because of that almost every day they attack me.
“That's what I thought“ Nameless kid
I enter my broken house and sleep the rest of the day.
......
...
The Next day a man in good clothes came to the village.
“I am looking for a child blacksmith helper“ outside man
A blacksmith helper, a person that will have burns in every part of its body for only some food. There is no father that will give his child for that.

“I can do it“ Nameless kid
But that isn't a trouble for an only child like me.
“A burned child?“ outside man
If he wants to believe that better for me.
“I have no fear of fire“ Nameless kid
If they will give me food then fire doesn't matter.
“Very well, come with me child“ outside man
The villagers will surely be happy now.
......
...
We reached a shop in the commercial section.
“This is the Chu family's blacksmith shop“ outside man
It is a really big shop, it was bigger than anything I have seen before.
“Your job will be to always keep the fire of the furnaces on, no matter the time“ outside man
Just that?
“You understand?“ outside man
He looked at me a little bit annoyed.
“Yes!“ Nameless kid
I answered energetically.
------------------------
Year 1033 of the Zhang Dynasty - Commercial section of Heavenly Phoenix City - Chu family blacksmith shop
“Hup“ Nameless kid
The job was a little bit harder than I expected.
My bed was in the blacksmith shop so it was always hot, the firewood was far and I needed to go twice every day and, sometimes, sparks of the melted iron of the workers touched my skin.
But for the food it was worth it.
“There is it again, that black trash“ blacksmith A
“It is eating like a beast again“ blacksmith B
Even here the nicknames didn't stop increasing. But it was better to don't provoke them, they were cultivators and killing was their favorite thing to do.
“I still cant believe that Chu Tianji accepted that in here“ blacksmith A
Chu Tianji is the name of the person who brought me here, he was someone important in here.
“It is really an eyesore“ blacksmith B
...I should go keep the fire on.

Year 1036 of the Zhang Dynasty - Commercial section of Heavenly Phoenix City - Chu family blacksmith shop

“You have been sold“ Chu Tianji
One morning the same person that let me in is taking me out.
“Can I ask Why?“ Nameless kid
I don't remember doing something wrong.
“For the simple reason that someone paid some spiritual cards for you“ Chu Tianji
“Spiritual cards?!“ Nameless kid
I got a bad feeling about this.
“Who... did it?“ Nameless kid
“The alchemist institute“ Chu Tianji
There is only one reason for them to buy a commoner.
“...I understand“ Nameless kid
I want to run away, but that will be stupid. I need to look for a chance.
“The envoy of the institute is already in the door, get out“ Chu Tianji
Get out, these are his last words to me.
...
One man was outside the blacksmith shop.
“Come with me in silence“ alchemist man
I follow him in silence and because of that he gives me his back. Good, underestimate me more.
After following him far enough of the shop, I turn my body the faster I can and run...
“Disrespectful!“ alchemist man
He grabs me for my shoulder almost immediately after using his bronze aura.
“LET ME GO!!“ Nameless kid
I will die.
I cannot die.
I want to live.
“NOOOOO!!!“ Nameless kid
“What are you doing to that kid?“ old man
A old man confronts the Cultivator.
(Linjian POV)
I see a child with a strange skin walking with a man.
(Maria, is that kid sick?)
[No]
(Then why he has that color?)
[If this was my world I would say that he inherited it from his parents]
(But in this world people don't have that kind of skin color)
[That is right, he most likely has a mutation in his genes]
(Is that common?)
[It is almost impossible to happen, but it can happen]
“LET ME GO!!“ kid
“NOOOOO!!!“ kid
I grab the bronze cultivator arm that holds the kid.
“What are you doing to that kid?“ Linjian
(Nameless kid POV)
“He is Property of the alchemist institute, scram!“ alchemist man
“Help me!“ Nameless kid
I can see for his clothes that this old man is just a commoner but I am desperate.
“...Are you going to kill him?“ old man
“The alchemist institute can kill as much as it wants, now...“
...
“...“ old man
What just happened? the cultivator disappeared in the middle of the talk as if the earth had eaten him.
“Kid“ old man
“Yes!“ Nameless kid
This man is not only an old man.
“What is your name?“ man
“I don't have one“ Nameless kid
Only kids with parents have one.
“...Do you have a place to go back?“ man
“...No“ kid
Why is he asking that?
“Do you want to come with me?“ man
!!!
“Seriously?“ kid
“Yes, do you want to?“ man
“Of course I want to!“ kid
“Then, you will need a name“ man
A name...
“With the power bestowed to me from of the goddesses of life and peace, I name you...“

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
