《Throne of World》Ch 20 | Brother David
Advertisement
The sun was already near the horizon and traces of darkness were already covering the sky. The temperature was dropping pretty quickly and the wind was becoming cool and relaxing.
On the playground beside the cottage, Alexander who was wearing a black vest paired with a black trouser was doing push-ups.

He stood up from the ground. Push-ups weren't included by the system in his daily task but he knew that arm strength is necessary for fights. Even if you have to fire an anti-tank rocket, you need to be able to hold the recoil force. Thus training one's biceps was an important task.
He was drenched in sweat, wetting his vest. Although it's only the first day but the effect of yesterday's medicine was pretty good. His body was now in perfect shape, body muscles a bit toned, though not like a soldier but there wasn't any extra fat.
After the morning class, he went to the library along with Hazel under the views of everyone. Even professor Felix was shocked!
He didn't spit a single word in the library and was only reading continuously. He completed about another 5 books in three hours as they were pretty thin. Hazel on the opposite side of him would read sometime or would look at him with a confused gaze.
It wasn't that Alexander didn't want to talk with her but when it came to talking with girls, whether it was Alexander from another world or this world, they both were losers.
In the course of these three days, Alexander started to feel something about Hazel, he wasn't as repulsive to her as he's with any other girl. Her cute face, her quietness, and her witty brain, everything was up to his liking. This might be considered a bit of liking or admiration but this wasn't enough to make him speak something to her in his own accord.

After the library, he came directly to exercise.
While he was looking at the sun after being drenched with sweat, a towel flew onto his body from the side, followed by a deep but excited voice.
" Hey, brother! Are you trying to get yourself sick to cancel our appointment? "
When Alexander turned his head, he saw a boy in a black hoodie and black jeans waving towards himself. The boy waved at him once and then started running along the track.
This was David. A crazy boy! He knew about his true identity as he was the son of his father's best friend. He was his playmate in school and home since childhood.
Alexander felt warm in his heart looking at David's care for him. He in his previous life never felt anything like that, there weren't any true friends in his previous life! But this life he finally got them! And he'll really cherish them!
Alexander hung the towel on his neck and started running towards David, eventually matching his speed. He looked at him and asked, " Hey brother, why didn't you tell me that this forest cottage is so great? "
David turned his face towards him and gave him a dirty look,
" I didn't tell you? Or you wanted to be Elliott and company? "
Alexander realizing his mistake coughed in embarrassment,
" Cough, Cough "
David who was running suddenly realized something and raised an eyebrow,
" Bro, did you get some medicine? "
Alexander who was still embarrassed a bit, looked at David in amazement, " How did you know? "
" Hahaha " David laughed
Alexander was curious about how David found about medicine?
" Hey tell me! How did you know that? "
David stopped running and patted at Alexander's shoulder who also came to a halt just after David.

" Don't I know my brother's body? "
" If you didn't get medication. You would have been already lying cold on the ground! Haha! But brother, I am really happy for you! "
While speaking the first part he was excited but in the last part, there was a drop of tear in the corner of his eye.
He swiftly wiped it off and laughed a bit.
" This is really great news! I'll let uncle, aunt, and grandfather know! They will be most happy after knowing this. "
" But before that, we will have to celebrate. Let's go to the best bar in the city. Let's go get changed. "
He held Alexander's hand and dragged him to his cottage forgetting about his own exercise schedule. Now his brother was fit like a normal human, so he is super happy!

Lethal Combo (Weapon-Based Martial Arts Adventure)
Quang is a slacker that doesn't have much going for him except for his skills in Chinese kickboxing and his proficiency with a pair of nunchucks. Selene is broke but still manages to overestimate herself. The fact that she's knows Hapkido and how to handle a set of tonfas doesn't help either. Together, they're going to get into a lot of trouble. Just like everyone else in the sweltering West Coast city of Isla Lucrecia, Quang Nghiem is struggling to get by. His family’s business can’t make ends meet, his childhood friend has vanished without a trace and the self-imposed local “Union” threatens to tear down the family restaurant if they can’t pay their dues. Fortunately for him, part-time lifeguard and fellow out-of-practice martial artist Selene Olwagen has nothing better to do and is more than willing to help Quang track down his missing friend. However, there’s more lurking in the shadows of Isla Lucrecia than typical street gangs and criminals. Almost every chapter will have illustrations to accompany it. Heavily inspired by fighting games and classic martial arts films. Expect that kind of tone of going in. Updates twice a week, (mostly) on Wednesday and Saturday. Illustrations and covers were done by Ati: www.instagram.com/serious_ati/ Check out more art of Lethal Combo and my other projects here: www.instagram.com/fgc_checkmate/

The Mystifying Diviner
Content warning, there is cursing in the story and there will be some pretty heavy sexual innuendos in it also. I don’t really plan to write gore, but there will be fight scenes. Fair warning to readers, it is a slow start. But hopefully it is enjoyable for you to read. Follow the story of an old chef who was lucky to be selected to become a system host. Well maybe not so lucky, because gaining the system killed him. He will be given a system that might not be the best match for him. While also having to deal with a snarky system monitor who might not be that helpful most of the time. He will also use his new found powers to enjoy life in a new younger body. What you can expect from this story is bad writing, poor grammar, and slow pacing maybe. Food, cooking, comedy, slice of life, fighting, exploring, tournaments, scamming and probably face slapping. I mean who doesn’t like a good face slapping? This is my take on a cultivation story, a lot of Eastern stuff will be crammed into with a mix of Western. This story started as a goal for myself to write 60,000 words in a month for NaNoWriMo. I was able to do it even with taking days off and not writing. I plan to keep writing the story, but at a slightly slower pace. I am aiming for 2-3 chapters a week now with about 4-7k words written. This is only posted on RoyalRoad currently, and I have no plans to change that for now. Cover art is by Jack0fheart [Participant in the 2021 Royal Road Writathon Challenge for the month of November 2021]

Warden of Success - A LitRPG
In the future of Earth humans are no longer the dominant species. Monsters, vampires, elves and all manners of otherworldly threats now threaten the planet and its people. And for one such as Camille, there was nothing she could do. A failed martial artist, Camille swallowed her pride and dreams, all the while sinking into the world of video games. Until she died. Reawakening with newfound power in her very own bed, there's no doubting that she's an oddity. And as the only individual in the world with the body of a video game character, she's ecstatic. No longer will she just be content with playing games in her dark room, taking over fantasy worlds as a great heroine. Rather, she'll do something better. And that'll be to take over the real one instead. Whether it be mages, demons or other supernatural entities that stand in her way, it doesn't matter. Camille may be a level one at first, but dammit if she wasn't going to try to reach one hundred. This is not a crunchy LitRPG and gradually becomes more of a character driven story that just happens to have a main character with LitRPG abilities. There will be a variety of powers/abilities that are explored later in the setting involving magic systems and other technological advancements. The first 10 chapters were written with satirical undertones, but begin to develop more into its own entity after that.

In the dark days before the end of the first millennium, Scotland (or Scotia as some called it) was a leaderless hodgepodge of tribes, clans and warring factions all bent on the same thing--domination of the land.

To the south of Scotia lay the realm of the Saxons ruled by Ethelred the Unready and his ruthless minions. To the west, Ireland had just come of age. Everywhere else the constant threat of a lightning swift Viking incursion loomed over the land.Growing up in this lawless world is a displaced Daynin McKinnon, heir to an ancient familial keep on the island of Rhum. He and his grandfather Ean scratch out a living amongst the Saxons, careful never to divulge their clan heritage. That all changes when Kruzurk Makshare chooses Daynin as the ideal prospect to help him bring down a vile sorcerer named The Seed of Cerberus, ferreted away in his impregnable fortress at Blackgloom.
