《My Classmate is QiLin》The Heavy Collar of Doubt
Advertisement
"Haha, this old crock dare not show off abilities in front of you. I just want to help your majesty out of trouble. Your majesty gradually grew up to today, I also see eye to eye with you; after all, some things even if your majesty sent somebody, it would not be solvable. I can feel you need me."
The nine-tailed fox said earnestly. His green eyes were worried, and his words contained understanding.
For a moment, all the information in the nine-tailed fox's soul came to Na-Jia's mind. Its thoughts were like an unfolding picture, which showed up in front of her.
"Nine thousand years! I grant you this right in the name of the water god."
Na-Jia's golden pupils constricted into a thin line, and she rose quickly from the frost throne, looking down at the nine-tailed fox with the same expectant gaze.
"Thank you, your majesty!"
The nine-tailed fox smiled, took a few steps forward, laid his head and limbs on the ground, and proceeded to perform the highest courtesy to her majesty.
"Well, get up! Since you want me to see the soul of everything, you must be ready!"
"Yes, the old man is ready. Is there anything your majesty would like to tell me?"
"Well, not just for some things to worry about, I think the fantasy land of America should have no big issue. The rattlesnake old bastard should be able to accept the death of his home civilization, but it seems that it was the death of aboriginal culture. This combined with the culture of the two countries is large, the relationship between leading America in recent years and the emergence of a human group called the Myth Alliance."
"Oh? "The Anti-Mythological Alliance, which sounds hostile to mythological creatures, should be an obstacle to the influence of the American Mythological Exchange."

The green eyes of the nine-tailed fox glowed a little, burning in the eyes for a long time not the idea of war, he stroked his long white beard, mouth gradually smiled. After all, I can't let her majesty worry about the opponent for a long time.
"Yes, in recent months, the Myth Alliance members put someone into the Internal Communication Bureau; made a scapegoat for a regional director, trying to put the repatriation QiLin's daughter. Her stem mana collar was imposed with a great curse and powerful bombs. If it weren't for the curse and QiLin's power canceling each other out, the curse would've caused a strong erosion to her."
"Na-Jia said angrily, slapping the ice throne so hard that it nearly broke the solid handrail, making the nine-tailed fox realize the seriousness of the matter.
"Has the culprit been caught?"
"President Clinton did not find any clue. The main issue is thae collar emits a curse and has a bomb bound to it. It does not belong to ancient relics, it is the product of an ancient spell combined with modern science and technology. It contains the energy of an unknown reaction that does not belong to any magic from the Americas, and its principle of operation is not known by any system of magic."
Na-Jia shook her head in frustration, then pulled out a piece of metal from the collar and handed it to the nine-tailed fox. She asked him to study the reserved energy reaction, making him frown at the origin of the metal fragments.
"If so, could it be the Anti-Mythological Alliance of other human nations? After all, humans that came from mythical creatures can cast spells, and with human creativity, it's possible to create new spells!"
"Nine-thousand, you're right! But, there's one thing you have to pay attention to; human beings that came from myth biological origins can only use the magic system of their lineage. Unless it is to modify its own genes, they can't go beyond the limitations of the lineage system using other magic spells. And at the current stage of human technology, genetically modifying their coalition against mythological creatures is unlikely."

"So! You suspect that an unknown enemy is helping the Anti-Mythological Alliance and that the collar is not entirely a product of human technology!"
The furrowed brow of the nine-tailed fox became incapable of unfurling, and it felt the terror that was involved, and though it did not know the human race as well as his majesty, it knew the terrible side of modern man.
"Yes, even though mythical creatures have influenced humans for so long, not all human countries have magical relics, so many ancient relics are of chaos! Add to that the fact that the MPR Foundation has recovered so many ancient artifacts over the past decade, and I'm sure there aren't that many left in the Anti-Mythological League.
In Na-Jia's eyes, there was a rare sense of helplessness. In her mind, there was also a sense of helplessness.
"I've been following them closely since the emergence of the Anti-Myth league, but they've never set foot in Asia, so I know I've been exposed."
"Anti-Myth Alliances should not just fear your influence in Asia, there may be other factors as well... "
"Yes, unfortunately, I don't know what they fear about me. In fact, I am the least effective in the four main worlds.
"Otherwise, another reason would be that your majesty is so clever that the Ant-Mythological League is afraid of being detected by you."
Hearing Na-Jia's influence, the nine-tailed fox grinned and wagged his tail. He lifted the snow in the air like a happy child. Na-Jia looked at the fox fur on the ground and shook her head.
"Nine thousand years old, your intelligence quotient is not lower than me. Your charm strength in the world is unparalleled, if you dare to say that you are the second in rank, no one can say that they are the first!"
"I can't compare with you as the god of water, but the old man still doesn't understand why you have to solve the problem of the daughter of the QiLin King of the Earth. Don't you find it alarming?
The nine-tailed fox was aware of the problem of his own fur, and this caused trouble to his majesty.
Na-Jia removed fox hair on his head, went on to say: "But the problem is here, even our IQ and strong, but the myth alliance has been active in the developed countries in Europe and America. In Asia, outside the US is not a convenient action, after all, we in addition to Asian countries, there are no reliable sources."
"I see. That's why you have to deal with the problem yourself. On the one hand, you should take this opportunity to collect information.
"Well, the most important thing is that we need stable sources of information! We need a friendly base to watch, and it's not the best time to be wary of Anti-Mythological Alliances in the Americas.
"So, are you going to let the QiLin student representative establish a friendly stronghold?"
The nine-tailed fox's eyes twinkled with doubt, but he could not believe that Na-Jia would send a unicorn without an adult to carry out this important mission.
"She has a lot of potential, but she's not in a position to be in. Now she's in a role as a sort of intelligence gatherer.
Na-Jia smiled innocently and fixed her gaze on the nine-tailed fox, making it aware of her majesty's intentions and filled both men's eyes with unknown expectations.

Living In The System - A LitRPG with more story, less text boxes
In the ancient echoes upon it’s great boughs, Yggdrasil holds all the knowledge in existence. Indeed, all of creation swings from its immense branches and leaves.

A great battle raged in its dew drops and amongst its roots. A War for control. For knowledge is power, and power is everything. A furtive glance over her shoulder told the hurried goddess that she was not being followed. That was good. What she had just done would be a great risk.

A starter world, of very little importance. It is where she will find her champion. Killian never got the chance to see the world. Yet he is given opportunity. Opportunity not just to see the world, but to change it... to change all of creation. There are many stories to tell upon the Tree of Yggdrasil, where all of creation hangs from its branches.

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.

Had it not been for a mysterious old man, chaos would have ensued further.
