《The Lost Characters [Vanilla Dark Fantasy]》004
Advertisement
Adam walked out of the classroom, greeted by wooden walkways connecting the different classrooms. The hallways were lit by the same oil lamps as the classroom. There were only doors at one end. At the other extreme, one could find paintings of different people, all dressed in black robes. Which were the former teachers of the school on the middle floor 4 of 5, hexagon 8 of 18 or also known as The School.
Adam, with a rarely seen happiness, was walking through the corridors, they were not very tall: they were a little higher than a person, nor very wide: at most 4 people could pass shoulder to shoulder. But the claustrophobic atmosphere didn't seem to matter to the cheerful young man walking the halls.
Unfortunately for Adam, his classroom was at one of the far ends of the hexagon so he had a long walk to the door, turning around the three corners he was finally able to find the hallway that led to the exit door.
The exit door was 3 times the size of the classroom doors and was placed on the side of the wall where the pictures were placed. So it was very easily recognizable. But more than a door, it should be clarified that it was an empty frame that connected hexagon 8 with 4.
Adam passed through the giant frame and continued on his way, but this time he was not greeted by corridors, this was one of the 6 main hexes, so the room was surrounded by shelves full of books.
The walls of the hexagon were bookshelves, except for the opening frames. In the middle of the hexagon were more shelves, forming another smaller hexagon with only two frames on each side.
Inside that interior hexagon whose walls were made up of shelves, there was another even smaller hexagon: whose walls were also made up of shelves and two doors aligned with the previous one, creating a corridor of frames.

In Total, each main Hexagon contained 18 interior hexagons full of shelves and corridors between them where one could find books, if it were not for all the doors being aligned, one could find a beautiful maze full of shelves.
Adam seemed not to want to attract the attention of the people who were browsing or reading books inside hexagon 4; so he decided to advance towards his target through the outer ring of shelves.
Adam's goal was to get to Hex 3 out of 18. Hex 3 was not only one of the main ones, but also had two corner stairs connecting to Hex: 3-4 and 3-2.
Adam, with firm steps and trying to hide his dusty shoes from other people, managed to reach the stairs of Hexagon 3, there were two spiral staircases. The spiral stairs were made of white marble with exquisite decoration and rare symbols engraved on the stair step. The white color of the marble stood out against the color of the brown wooden floor, but it conveyed an aura of tranquility to the room.
One of the stairs led to the lower floors of the mid-level, and the other ascended to the upper floors of the mid-level.
Adam was heading to the lower floors where his parents lived. But the boy did not advance, but he was left waiting at the door of the stairs.
The stairs were not very wide, and only 4 people could pass shoulder to shoulder. This is why the ancient librarians had designed a system to avoid further jams.
Above each door leading to the stairs were two stones: one green and one red. If the red stone flickered you couldn't get in and it was better not to. Therefore, Adam had to wait at the door, all the stairs had 100 steps between floors so it shouldn't be too long.

Blood Shaper
Kay didn't have the best life. Most of it was fairly standard, but his past was marred by a tragedy that changed his entire world. Years later he had managed to mostly rebuild his life, and had started making something of himself. And then he woke up in a different world. A world of fantasy and [Classes], a world much more dangerous than the one he'd been born in. The new world he's been dumped into doesn't hold anyone's hand. Even with the bonuses that being an Outworlder brings won't keep him perfectly safe. One mistake could kill him in an instant. But maybe, with a little bit of help, he could start over once more, and start to make something of himself again. And maybe, just maybe, that something he makes himself into could be amazing. And bloody. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] (We'll see how I do) ****** As I'm leaning right now there probably will be sexual content later on, but I might change my mind later. There definitely will be death, gore, violence, and blood. Lots and lots of blood.
8 552Old Version - The First Magician
INDEFINITE HIATUS I always seem to make these too long when I ask for peoples opinions so I’m not gonna try an exciting description anymore but instead just give you an idea of what to expect. First off, this is my 2nd attempt at a story but my foundation for this one is much better than the 1st already and I see this going much further and so far its coming together much faster and easier. So please excuse me if things are not up to publishing standards. Also I tend to confuse your, you’re and so on so sorry to people that triggers ahead of time. The First Magician follows the story of 15 year old Alex in a post apocalyptic rpg-ish world in the near future. Earth was transformed, monsters appeared and people began being able to use Ki but could not figure out how to use magic. Alex ends up becoming the first human able to use magic through a series of events and sets in motion events that will change the very future of the human race. He will be somewhat OP simply because he is the only human (at least to start, who knows about later?) who is able to use mana. Many classic RPG elements have been removed. I didn’t want the story to be like all of the other lit rpg stories on RRL but it also makes the writing easier for me hence the watering down of rpg elements. UPDATES: I am doing this to relieve stress and for fun so I will release chapters when I can. So far though ive managed to keep up with 2 most days. CONTENT WARNINGS: There will be some light language but it won't be insane. I might have some gore later on but am unsure and the same for the sexual content. Sexual content isn't super likely as I doubt I can write it well but I put the tag so people cant yell about it if I add some in the future but forgot to add the tag. COVER ART: Yes it is from the anime Log Horizon. It is a good representation of what earth looks like despite it not being many years in the future. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/s6V3hGV
8 129Exhuman
If superpowers appeared today, what might the future look like? In a future which has endured nuclear wars, people rarely wake up one day with supernatural powers, transforming an innocent life into a walking apocalypse. Shunned and feared, these Exhumans are often violent, ever misunderstood, and always dangerous. In this world unfolds the dark story of Athan Ashton, an 18-year old with a football scholarship who wakes up to find himself a lightning-powered Exhuman. Following a failed imprisonment and execution, he is exiled to the wilds, ostracized from all he’s even known. Like most, Athan never questioned society's view of Exhumans, buying the public line that they are selfish and a danger, fit only to be reported and dispatched. But living on the other side, Athan begins to discover why Exhumans go bad, and begins the impossible task of becoming more than just his powers. Athan is dedicated to use his Exhumanity only for good, but is that enough to survive in a world where his very existence is a crime? Release schedule: Exhuman updates five times weekly: Exhuman is finished! After 500 chapters, it's come to an end. Thank you for your support through the years that this story ran! More Exhuman: There are over 100 chapters currently posted at my Wordpress site! If you're looking for more, there's plenty of it! Please consider donating at my Patreon if you like Exhuman. I write full-time and can only do so through your generous support. Thank you!
8 319A Tyrant: Unshackled
A man once lived in a modern world, surrounded by the tragedy of humans, he was despaired. He did his best to ignore it. Did his best to hide in the safety of his own circumstances. But eventually the tragedy reached him. And when it did... it left a broken man, who was tired of the world and it's circumstances. He took things into his own hands. He would change the world. But this story isn't about that. For after all was done, the man dying peacefully on his own terms, he would have a new life ahead of him. Now unbound by attatchments and responsibility, in a completely new world for him to explore, he would make sure his new life didn't end up like the last one. This fiction won't be updated regularly due to my own circumstances and while I will try to update it often, I won't always be able to. That being said I hope you enjoy this little work of mine. I'm not an experienced, and don't consider myself a good author in any way. But hopefully some people will enjoy this fiction like I do writing it, regardless of that.
8 71McShot's Crazy House: Many Stories in One Setting, It's an Anthology!
*This is my first time attempting to author on Royal Road and as such I cannot find a true series to write. Due to this, I will occasionally produce one shots or add on to existing one shots on this page. As such, do not believe too much of what I marked in the genre boxes. I will try and update as much as once a week but I procrastinate things like crazy so start out by hoping for by-weekly updates first.Welcome to McShot's Crazy House! I am Mr. McShot, the lord of this incredible house you are now residing in. In each door resides a different world with a different story. Of course, looking inside for too long may hurt your eyes so I will limit the amount of exposure. Plus there is food and magic aplenty. May there be something to your liking.
