《Summoned: Looking for Fragments》Chapter 5 - ...what should we do?(2)

Chapter 5
"We need a plan. A countermeasure for those situations."
Tristan walked around in circles with his hand on his chin.
"We have to make sure we have values on our heads and and don't flatly refuse them. We will never know if we might accidentally step on a lion's tail."
"So our options are: join the war or probably give them knowledge" Raze gave the two known options the party have.
"This demon lord gig is really giving me the chills. Joining a war to fight demons. War seems to be endless even on other worlds." Roan gave a mocking statement about wars
"Does anyone willing to join this 'war'? For me, I don't plan on dying so i'll avoid any wars against demons and such. If there's other options, i'll gladly take it." Tristan said looking for any possible options.
"Huh.. Like maybe working for them like a subordinate? Be an officer? So you're staying here then.." (Roan)
"I'm considering it but, I still don't know anything about this kingdom. We need to know the pros and cons." Tristan gave a reply.
Few more minutes of brainstorming when Roan suddenly had an idea.
"I'm not sure if this is possible but, can we just make some sort of fake law? That back on our world, we cannot simply give any advance knowledge and technology. And they will have to develope by themselves. And if they ask the reason why is there such a law, we can just lie about some incident happened when we tried to provide wisdom to a kingdom, but that kingdom is now in ruins because of such knowledge. You know, the same thing on that classic movie and game?" Roan
"Hmm that's is actually a sound plan." Tristan gave an approval. "Still, it sounds like we're bluntly refusing to give help. It might be better if we give them the ideas or the base blueprint of such technology, what are your thoughts?" Tristan

"I think its a good option." Fia
"Hey wait guys, are you giving them knowledge of weapons? If possible don't even give them ideas like that." Amelia spoke with a worried tone
"Obviously we wont but, if we really don't have any options... We might just give them low level ones like maybe a flintlocks or canons, or anything that might interest them."
"Try to think more about it okay? We dont want to regret our actions later on"
While they were proposing a plan, a knock on the door sounded. A female voice was heard at the other end of the door. " *** *****, ******* ' **** "
"Quick. Take the stones" Tristan said. The party took the stones swiftly.
"Yes, come in" (Raze)
A maid came in with trays and teapots. She bowed and spoke in a respectful tone.
"Excuse me, We have Teas and food for you. Also a message from Master Turstin: "An urgent matter suddenly came and we will have to postpone the meeting tonight. We will answer more of any questions you may ask and teach you more of our world by tomorrow. Call it a day and we will also appraise your affinities after we explained more of our situation." The maid bowed once more.
"Also, we have rooms prepared for everyone. If you have any request you can speak to me or any waiting maids outside of the rooms"
The party took glances at each other, waiting for any request. The maid waited for a few seconds before she dismissed herself. "If there is none. I'll excuse myself" she walked put of the door, bowed once more and close the door.
The party looked at the tray of foods, snacks and tea-set.
"Hmm let's take a break for a bit. I haven't had any lunch so i'm a bit hungry" Tristan proposed a quick break.

"Yeah. Haven't had dinner yet. Tea and snacks will calm me down." Amelia walked to the table and sat down.
"I'll take a bite. Class just ended for me and I was supposed to visit a cafe"
"I just had dinner. I'll pass for now, but I would like something to drink please. Is there anything like coffee?" Raze asked. Fia then looks at the tray but found no coffee. She looked at Raze and shook her head.
"How about you Roan?" Fia to Roan.
"I'm alright. I just had breakfast. And it seems we were summoned at different time huh."
........
After the party had their fill, they decided to end the day and asked the waiting mades to guide their rooms. In the middle of being escorted, the girls decided to stay on one room for the night.
In the girl's room. The two looked outside the window and gazed at the night sky.
"Two moons... Beautiful" Amelia whispered. "Two white moons with a bluish and violent shade" she added.
"This just confirmed we are really on another world. Just like those novels and movies." Fia the took out a small rectangular shape object and pointed it the moon.
Amelia walked over to the bed and sat down "Are we gonna be alright?"
"I... I don't know. I'm as anxious as you are. I do hope we can go home really quickly."
"A few years. This is unfair. Demons and wars, summoned and being called a hero." Tears forming onto Amelia's eyes.
Fia walked at the other side and leaned on Amelia's back. "We cant do anything about it. I don't even know why it was us who got dragged into this. Let's just hope that everything will be fine"
"...." Amelia paused "you think we'll be fine?"
"Well... The boys seems calm about it and they are thinking something to help us out and not be on the disadvantage. Let's trust them for now, It seems they know what to do"
"I guess...so. It's a good thing they were there huh"
"Mhmm. So let them observe everyone for now and don't let our guard down. Okay?"
"Alright" Amelia gave a nod.
"Good! Then lets get to bed. I'm feeling exhausted. Good night, Amy" She then walked over to her bed and laid down.
"Yeah. Good night, Fia"

Two moons! This really feels like an RPG game! Cant wait to learn more. This is exciting! (Roan)
I wonder if we can learn magic as soon as possible. Oh? Two moons? That's nice. (Tristan)
Stay on guard, do not trust the royalties or nobles easily.
I wonder if they are from that 'world'. (Raze)

The Vitaean Chronicles - Volume I: The Sanguine Prince
NOTE: Chapters 02 - 19 are currently slated for review and rewrite following the Conclusion of Act I. Please bear this in mind! When tragedy strikes Arcturus Valoura, he is ripped from his carefree existence and thrown into a world of politics and peril, where today's friend is tomorrow's foe. Bereft of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in his new reality, he will need to find his place within a realm that mixes magic and science in impossible ways. He will need to learn the secrets of the mysterious System that allows him to guide his potential for growth even as he struggles to unlock the powers needed to keep himself alive. In the darkest, and most desolate places of an ancient land he will have to find the answers to forbidden questions, and terrible secrets long purged from the histories of mankind. And in so doing, shake the very foundations of reality itself. Release Schedule: Tuesdays (I may post on off-days if I get a lot done). Advanced Chapters available on Patreon starting May 4th 2021. Discord Community: https://discord.gg/3tHKHAx7Ye The Vitaean Chronicles are a debut LitRPG High Fantasy series written with the intent of filling a niche I've yet to see filled anywhere else. This is my first novel of this kind, so please be patient with me. Throughout this story, I will endeavour to create an evolving and expansive narrative anchored around believable characters, compelling plotlines, and a consistent and sensible magic system. The purpose of this work is to create what I believe to be a relatively unique piece of fiction, drawing inspiration from many great stories that have come before from the likes of Tolkien, Jordan, Hertbert, Goodkind, Pratchett, Martin, and several others. My goal is not to create a masterpiece, but simply to create a story that someone can read and re-read with the same joy, same frustration, and same investment each time. This story will contain violence, politics, Shakespearian drama, tongue-in-cheek references, adult content, and well-crafted relationships of both platonic and romantic natures. I will not promise you will like every choice I make. I can only guarantee that I will do my best to create a story I, and you, can be proud of. As I progress, I will have room to incorporate fan-made characters for those interested in making their mark within the tapestry of this tale (with the customary disclaimer that they do so while waiving any rights to future profit, lol). Thank you to Royal Road for giving me the platform to do that, and thank you dear readers past, present, and future for choosing to come on this journey with me. Finally, just to cover myself: This work is Copyrighted to the Author herein known as 'Hannibal Forge', and recreation, distribution, or re-release of any material herein in a commercial or public capacity absent permission from the Author can and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law.
8 187Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.
8 124Ereborus
(I'm taking some time off to rewrite certain scenes and improve the quality of my writing. I'll restart updating the fiction once done it.) Update: at the moment, I don't feel like continuing this story. I'm working on another one in my free time, thus I don't know if I will ever come back to Ereborus. A mercenary has recently arrived at the festive city of Soldra in search of a job, but little do they know that a catastrophe will soon strike the city, causing multiple deaths. The mercenary is among the victims of the disaster. Or maybe not. They wake up again in a dilapidated Soldra where strange creatures now roam around freely. Will they survive in this post-catastrophic scenery and understand what really happened? Disclaimer/Trigger Warning: In future, there will be scenes with gore, graphic deaths and animal cruelty. Moreover, considering that the mc is a non-binary mercenary, cases of PTSD and misgendering may be included. If you are too sensitive to these topics, this story isn't for you. ━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━▲━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Hello dear visitors!
