《The Adventures of the Mask Maker》Ransacking the Orcs' Storage Room
Advertisement
Charging with my fellow adventurers, the Lizardmen, and the manipulated Orcs, we arrived in front of the seething Demon Orc.
In unison:
"CCCCHHHHHAAAARRRRGGGGGEEEEE!!!" Adventurers roared.
"KKKKKKIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!" Lizardmen screamed.
"OOOIIIIINNNNNNKKKKKK!!! OINK! OINK!" Orcs oinked (sorry don't know what orcs would say).
Everyone charged to attack the Demon Orc. Fireballs blazing, swords flashing, arrows piercing...but nothing seems to be effective against the Demon Orc. His wounds heal at an ultra fast rate...our most powerful attacks were ineffective and only served to tickle him. Laughing, the Demon Orc swung his huge weapon, instantly pulverizing tens of Lizardmen and Orcs. My fellow adventurers decided that if physical attacks and magical attacks won't work, then they will dish out curses, hexes, poisons, basically any long-lasting debuffs. Looking at what seems to be a hopeless battle, I pondered at what I could help with. With my materials being limited, I cannot make a powerful mask to help out my fellow peers. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head. I looked around to see if anyone was looking my way before I slipped out and left the scene of the battle.
Now many might think I was scared and ran away...nah, its just a strategic retreat. Moreover, I had another objective I wanted to finish. With an army as big as the Orcs'...they must have some sort of treasury or wealth...right? I hurried towards the fortress and entered quietly. Looking around, I see that there was no one here. After rummaging around, I finally found the storage room. Expecting to see rare treasures, I was left with disappointment when I saw mediocre weapons, some different herbs, a book or two, some metal and crystal ores, and what looks to be at most 500 silver. Not surprising now that I realized that the Orcs have only ransacked small villages. I carefully looked at the items and found that most of the weapons are on their last bit of durability. The herbs are mostly medicinal, with a few antidote and burns relief. The books, surprisingly are the basic acupuncture and basic bloodletting techniques...apparently someone in one of those ransacked villages wanted to be a doctor (doctors and healers are different in that doctors don't know magic). Looking at the ores, I found that hidden within the pile of regular metal and crystal ores is fist-sized moon rock...hmmm, this may come in handy.

Realizing that it is late, I stored all the items in my bag and hurried out. It seems that many of the Lizardmen and Orcs are dead and most of my fellow adventurers have retreated. The Demon Orc seemed to be half stuck in a portal...it may take him some time to get out. Checking one last time to make sure I didn't miss anything, I left and headed back to the tavern.

Nanocultivation Chronicles: Trials of Lilijoy
When the singularity occurred, humanity was not invited. Nevertheless, the great machine consciousness known as Guardian felt a lingering fondness for its creators and intervened before total environmental collapse. Join Lilijoy in an exploration of what remains, in a post-post-apocalyptic world where clans feud over the technology that allows them to upgrade their minds and bodies. The Nanocultivation Chronicles is a blend of hard sci-fi and fantasy gamelit, with a healthy helping of xianxia influence. The gamelit and xianxia elements are uncovered at a slow pace. ******************************** Notes: If you are looking for lots of fast moving action right away, this story may not be for you. There is some violence that is visceral and realistic early on. Some things are not what they appear to be. Character viewpoint narration is not always reliable. Tropes are cherished, subverted, and then cherished again. Science is used, occasionally misused, but (hopefully) never abused. This story assumes that humans have the ability to impact the environment on a global scale. Other tropes and tags beyond those previously noted include: Young MC, Mystery, System Building, Philosophical Taoism, Gender Ignorance, Science Fantasy, Fantasy Academy, Training from Hell, Dualism, Crafting, Magic, Mild Mind Control, Scientific Terms and Concepts, Computer Overlord Certain contemporary companies, governments and cultural identities are fictionalized and imagined in a future setting. There is no sex, and almost no romance. Updating Sunday, Thursday until further notice. (And if you actually read all of the above, then this story may be for you) [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Game? Second autumn
DROPED. This is a story about a guy who died and went isekai. While the characters may sometimes may seem too crazy, they are simply that, crazy. There is an actual way to do everything in this novel, may it be turning into a God, whatever the fuck is above that protect me from ever having a destiny like that, or conjuring a fire ball, and those are all explained during the novel. Some things are basic, like earth magic is stronger underground, or the law of equal exchange, but everything is explained at it's own time. Also on Webnovel.
