《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》003-I should have said black!
Advertisement
—Very good, excellent presentation, Adam— Achilles said with a smile—Do you know why you came to school?
—To get my black robe! And to be able to be a professional harvester! — Adam answered excitedly.
—That's the attitude of a true student! —said the teacher with a kind smile— To achieve that you only have to learn one language of your choice, luckily for you: I know three languages, so you're going to have many options, but as a gatherer with learning any of the 3 you should be fine.
Achilles got up from his seat and pulled out a wooden box. Inside the box were 4 books inside with covers of different colors: green, yellow, red, and black. Achilles took 3 of the books and closed the box.
He then put the three books on the table and began to explain what each one is about:
—This Green Book is good for learning the language they use on the upper floors; so it is quite useful if you plan to move upstairs. The red book is useful for traveling to the lower floors, but I wouldn't recommend studying this language. Do you know which one is yellow?
—Yes! —Adam replied with the happiness of a child who knows the correct answer — That is the language we use in the flats where my parents live and where the school is.
—That's right, Adam! —Congratulations the teacher — That's why this is the most useful language for you, likely, your parents have already taught you a little and that will make you get your black robe faster. Which of all do you choose?
—Yellow!— Adam yelled, somewhat impatient, to get his black robe.
The professor nodded and put the other unselected books back in the box. Then, the teacher took the book that was left on the table and handed it to Adam, while he said:

—Your first task will be to ask your parents what the first page says. Then try to understand the others using what you learned from your parents with the first sheet. But don't ask him what the next ones say! Understood?
—Of course, professor!—Adam replied, somewhat excited.
—Well—the teacher said happily, seeing such a cooperative boy— Otherwise, you can leave earlier today, but use the time you're saving by going earlier to do your homework. Good luck on the road, Adam. And the next time you come, try not to waste time flipping through books you can't read on the way. You can see the dust on your shoes.
Adam looked sheepishly at his shoes, tried to hide them with his robe, but his robe wasn't long enough to do it. With a blush on his face, Adam waved goodbye as he left the classroom, leaving the teacher alone.
—A curious young man...—The professor murmured, while Adam closed the door of the room.

Tower of Babel: Speedrunner
Launch day. That was what they called it. The day when over four million people vanished in an instant from the island of Manhattan. The day earthquakes ravaged the east coast. The day a one hundred and one kilometer tall tower rose from the wreckage of the now empty city. The day every screen, newspaper, and smart phone displayed a single message from an unknown source: The Great Emperor has issued his challenge. From the ruins of the Old World rise the Tower. Its doors will soon open, and the great game will begin. A hundred floors and a hundred challenges await the worthy. And to the victor? A Wish of Unlimited Power. Cayden Caros yearned to play that game. His only problem? The Terms and Conditions. A strict set of rules that, among other things, prevented anyone under the age of sixteen from entering the tower. Forced to wait for over two years, Cayden did the only thing he could do to pass the time. He researched, he practiced and he prepared. It would take a lot to catch up to players with such an enormous head start. Lucky for him, he was a special type of gamer. A SpeedRunner So.... It has been a hot minute. I don't like talking about my personal life, but suffice to say I had some fairly bad times for the last couple of years and have only just recently pulled myself back to good health, physically and mentally. I have a very supportive partner, and am put together enough that I want to get back to doing what I love. Writing nerd fiction that I am too embarassed to try to explain when people inevitably ask what my books are about. Still beats when I used to write erotica. Story updates for book 3 should be on a daily schedule, baring unforseen circumstances. The majority of chapters from books one and two have been pulled down to keep with amazon's KU rules. Book one is found here. Book two is found here. If you like the story, please comment or favorite. Each comment goes a long way towards pushing visibility for the story, which means more people get to see it and I feel slightly more validated as a writer. I have a discord now where you can ask me things and I can be like 'no. no. I'm not answering that. no."

But reaching a massive starlet from the dingy home of his miner father is an impossibility.

In no time, he learns that the seemingly perfect woman with the perfect life is as lonely as they come. Can this good boy fill that void and save this bad girl from herself? Or will the lifestyle of decadence and debauchery drag him under, too?
8 210Level Up Lord
Just the story of Karl who will become a strong and rich noble (or perhaps better) after being reincarnated into a fantasy world. *The summary may cause irrational hate for an unknown reason* *Greatly inspired by korean novels* *This novel is maybe written in Engrich* *Probably not very original* *Certainly not meant to be well-written* *Invisible Dragon is perhaps better than this novel* *Nobody forces you to read so you are reading this at your own risk* *You are supposedly not supposed to read this novel* *You read this and didn't like it? No problem*
8 183Curious Tales: Assorted Fantastical Fiction
These are a collection of my short stories which don't feature gender bending front and center but do involve horrors, fantastical delights, and weird surprises. They may involve something as simple as a house on a swamp overlooking the dreams of the past or a byzantine battle between time travelers for what they see as the "right" timeline. And be as shiver-inducing as being locked in a school at night with disembodied shadows or as sweet as an old stuffed animal with a special secret.
