《Another World? Never Saw This Coming》Chapter 8 (Riled Reminiscing)
Advertisement
After about an hour of traveling Riley began reminiscing about how she ended up here saving the life of a human.
Ever since Riley could remember she was alone, her first memory was being found by a kind Wolfkin male whom she lovingly called Dad.
According to him she was apparently found while he and other members from his Village were out hunting, he claimed to have heard a small whimper while walking by a pile of rocks and found her wrapped in a blanket alone.
Apparently the moment he saw her he wanted to protect her with all his might and took her back to the village immediately he was married at that point but his wife who was a Bunnykin was also a very kind person and agreed to raise her with her husband.
At first the both of them spent a year looking for her actual parents but when they were never found they fully dedicated themselves to her upbringing.
Her father was a retired merchant who opened a shop that sold rare stone, jewelry, toy, and other oddities.
He made sure to teach her everything he knew about business and how to turn a profit, he also taught her things like fishing, surviving, hunting, and what he considered the most important Combat.
While at the same time her mother who thought her Dad was treating her too much like a boy taught her cooking, sewing, and fine etiquette among other womanly things.
She loved both of them very much and loved her with all of their hearts truly an inseparable family.
Once Riley started to come of age she became curious about where she came from and found out something about herself. She could use magic, and not just any magic, a magic that had been lost for a long time.
Apparently she was a rare breed of Wolfkin called a GeoWolf who were known for their ability to manipulate the earth and who were one of the best rare material gatherers she found out about this when her father brought her to a travelling wizard to have her STATUS assessed.
She also found out what happened to her race. Due to their ability to find gems and riches they managed to amass an amazing amount of wealth, which lead to other Wolfkin becoming jealous.
This lead to an intense battle where every breed of Wolfkin had teamed up to eliminate the Geowolfs and steal their riches, however due to the fact that most rare ores were underground or inside mountains it became incredibly hard to track them down and the Geowolfs could have lived in relative peace but greed is a double edged sword.

The Geowolfs had been moving as an entire unit collecting things as they travelled to different mountains one day they settled down at an area which supposedly had more gold than any other spot they had ever been too.
But once they cleared the stone away they soon found out that they had made a terrible mistake.
A white dragon was hoarding gold in its cave and was in deep slumber however the Geowolfs careless blunder led to it waking up and it woke up mad.
According to the mage not a single Geowolf was said to have survived the encounter with the dragon all that was left were some charred remains found by scouts.
Riley and her parents had been incredibly shocked to find out about all of this but her father decided to make the best of the situation and asked the mage to teach her how to use magic.
He agreed wholeheartedly due to having the idea that Riley could be used as some sort of gem magnet.
But to the mages disappointment Riley focused on self-strengthening instead of using her race given magic she developed an ability called Breaker much to the surprise of the mage who assumed she could only use her race given abilities.
After teaching her for about a month the mage got payment from her father and quickly left disappointed at not having amassed the riches he was hoping for.
After seeing his daughter’s growth Riley’s father decided it was time she became a merchant.
He taught her everything he knew about mercantilism and gave her multiple maps for the entire region.
At first he let her sell his goods to neighboring villages and town but eventually as she proved herself more and more he let her fully take over the business and everything was going smoothly.
However one day everything changed.
Riley was heading back to her home after gaining quite a bit and was intent on selling some of the unique stones she had found while testing her race abilities.
But after seeing a large pillar of smoke in the distance she felt something was off.
After pushing the horses as hard as she could she eventually arrived at her village, or at least what was left of it there were scorch marks and bodies everywhere worry struck her immediately and she panicked ditching her horses she ran as fast as she could back to her home.
But the scene she saw next would be scarred into her memory forever.
In front of her both her Mother and Father were currently locked in mortal combat with two incredibly powerful demons.

Demons were creatures Riley had only heard of in stories by passing travelers and foreign merchants never did she expect to meet them.
Her mother and father were surrounded by hundreds of slain demons and were covered in wounds standing in front of them were incredibly strong looking Demons Riley could tell just by looking at them.
Right then her mother and father noticed her and looked at her with pained expressions.
Riley’s father: “RUN RILEY DON’T LOOK BACK AND GET AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!”
Riley: “NO WAY IN HELL AM I GOING TO LET YOU GUYS GET KILLED WHILE I RUN!”
As she said that she activated her special ability Breaker to its maximum power.
Cloaked Demon: “Ohohoho what have we here a puppy bearing its fangs? How cute”
Riley’s father: “LEAVE MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THIS!”
He yelled in rage as he locked into combat with the Cloaked Demon
Meanwhile the second demon who was twice the size of Riley’s father charged at her mother.
Riley watched in horror as her mother was caught off guard and blown away towards her.
Riley who’s abilities had been enhanced 10fold by Breaker was able to catch her mother and set her down.
Riley’s father after witnessing what happened to his wife became even more enraged and became covered in a red aura.
The Cloaked Demon and the Large Demon both charged Riley’s father emitting a purple aura but the instant they tried to land a hit on him a large explosion happened.
The Large Demon was immediately blown to bits spraying purple blood everywhere and the cloaked demon was nowhere in sight.
Riley’s father collapsed onto the ground right next to Riley and her mom.
Riley: “Dad what happened?”
Riley’s father: “Riley we were attacked by a demon army those were its commanders me and your mother are the only
ones left alive.”
Riley: “Im-impossible everyone died….”
Riley’s father then sat up and picked up her mother, after looking around he turned to Riley and said.
Riley’s father: “Riley you know I love you right?”
Riley: “y-yeah why?”
Right after he said that he looked at her kindly and shoved her as hard as he could Riley launched back and smashed into a house the next thing she saw was the cloaked demon appear behind her parents it had lost one of its arms from the explosion but using its remaining arm it impaled them.
Riley flew into a blind rage charging after the Cloaked Demon blowing craters in the ground ever step she took her blue glow had now turned black as she approached him.
In the blink of an eye she appeared in front of him and slashed at his hood with a small dagger she had been carrying.
The Cloaked Demon’s hood had been knocked off when it tried to avoid the knife and what Riley saw terrified her.
Its face had two red glowing eyes and deep purple skin, she slashed at it as hard as she could and managed to gouge out its right eye at this the Demon became enraged and slashed at her cutting a deep gash into her back from the top of her left shoulder down to her right hip.
However due to its many injuries that was all it had managed to do before it fled.
Riley crawled over to her parents limp forms and shook them.
Riley: “MOM! DAD! WAKE UP PLEASE!”
Riley’s father’s breathing was hard and labored but he was still alive
Riley’s father: “Riley I’m going to need you to listen to me right now. Be strong Riley become strong enough to protect everything important to you or spend your time finding something or someone worth protecting. Once you find that something be sure to cherish it with all your heart and remember, never EVER ignore the pleas those in need of serious help.”
Riley: “I-I won’t I promise! Please don’t go dad!”
Riley’s mom: “Riley I want to give you a gift it’s not much but it’s all I can do right now.”
As she said that she grasped Riley’s hand and instantly healed the wound on her back.
Riley’s mom: “all I can do is give you my healing ability and fix your back, however in this state I was only able to seal the wound it will still leave a scar.”
Riley: “M-mom d-dad no please don’t leave me!”
Riley: “NOOOOOOOO!!”
She screamed at the top of her lungs and blacked out her ability Breaker is useful for multiplying abilities to insane levels but its toll on the body is extensive, which caused her to collapse once the effects caught up.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

Sylph Resurgence
Our protagonist Kai has his mother taken away from him at a young age, an act apparently committed by demons. Now, 7 years on, Kai embarks on a new adventure as he begins the new school year at the esteemed Zion Academy in the kingdom of Nirvania, where adventures await him in a world embroiled in tensions which is full of surprises and mysteries at the same time. A month has passed since Night Wing's incursion on the capital of Nirvania, Nirvana. However, that isn't the end of Nirvania's problems, with war against its warmongering neighbour, Miran looking ever more likely than before. To make matters worse, tensions have been stoked between the Sylph Kingdom and Nirvania by the Chaos Legion, the true enemies hiding in the darkness, opening the possibility to a war on 2 fronts. Kai may only be a 2nd Year student at Zion Academy, but the raging storms of this chaotic era spare no one, especially given his close ties to Adeline, the Sylph Princess. Can Kai circumvent the tides of chaos and live to see the end of what is likely to be a 3rd Holy War? Will Nirvania stand strong against its foes, or crumble and be washed away by the sands of time? 2 years had passed since the conclusion of the 3rd Holy War, which was achieved by the combined efforts of the Nirvanian Army, the 10 Saints and Kai's team, which have been affectionately known thereafter as the Rising 8; a group of rapidly rising youths revered as national heroes for their contributions in putting an end to the 3rd Holy War. Moreover, relations between all 4 Kingdoms on the Central Continent, namely Nirvania, Miran, Cameron and the Sylph Kingdom, have reached unprecedented heights, ushering an age of peace. However, danger lies ever closer, with the Chaos Legion staying low over the past 2 years, awaiting the perfect opportunity to rear its ugly head. Even though Kai had trained hard over the past 2 years to master both his demonic and Sylph ancestry, when the battle has evolved from between mortals to that of the seemingly immortal Chaos Generals, can Kai and his fellow Nirvanians rise above the odds with their allies and vanquish the chaos?
