《Arching Choices》Chapter 9: Lukas Legacy
Advertisement
There are only a couple of paragraphs filled in but the following you read:
Hi! I'm Alex! If your reading this I probably left this behind... but thats okay, don't worry too much though this is my 78th notebook with some tips that can help ya!
So the place your probably in is a dungeon, and this world has a lot of them and I've been exploring 'em!
So this world is a very vast place and the rules of some worlds don't work here, but mostly it can be chalked up to just a few key points
1. Style: Now this may be a weird way to put it but the world this notebook was found in focuses on magic, if it was a story it would be called theme... a magic themed world, but this is one of the more advanced civilizations...
2. Status: If you arrived here through a gateway of some kind this will help ya! Just thinking about your current status should bring up a rating in your head, but it does have flaws... the most prevailing for almost anyone is you have to close your eyes to use it, but that can be good if you can read really fast in most situations.
3. Imagination: While all worlds do contain strict rules there can alway be a way to bypass them, be it by luck, trick or gimmick, or sometimes just brute force... Just remember that anything can be used and there is probably never anything useless that exists
After reading the points, suddenly a 4th point appears, right below it as if it had always been there!
4. And If your reading this then you somehow found a 'KEY' Haha! Good for you, most 'KEYS' can help you travel, if you can figure out how to use them... but I think you already know...

After your done the fourth point fades and disappeers...You pull the black colored 'KEY' out of your pocket, it is all that remains of the other keys and you can't help but think that this one is still a mystery in some way...
Well another thing, This book should automatically give the points about this dunguon, but for anyeone special it will give its own advice, maybe a tip or trick to help ya one day, keep that in mind.
Suddenly the book feels a lot lighter, and when you try to check it seems it was never a book at all! All that lays in your hand is a piece or parchment with two words and a weird code thing.
STATUS - SECRET
Apstrus_&78&*%Th
Suddenly you feel dizzy, and you fall over quite comically, face first on the ground, but thankfully you didn't break your nose. You close your eyes and your consiousness fades to darkness...
Your in total darkness, mainly feeling two emotions; fear because you could have died, and a strange sense of this was supposed to happen.
As your fear subsided, you come to the conclusion that this is a dream
Yep, Glad ya figured it out! someone says sarcastically
Your startled by the sudden voice, and soon a figure stands near you, shrouded by darkness, or perhaps can't be seen? Either way you can't see them.
Hi, This is a short message that would come on once you actually calmed down, as I get how anyone would be startled in this situation.
I am currently Alex, But that name is interchangeable, So you actually got two things mainly because you have one of my secret status codes, and you seem to also have a connect item... those are pretty rare, but can also be seen as a curse so...yeah.

My code will enable you to bypass a single part of your new STATUS, but I don't know what type of status you'll get so You'll have to figure it out.
As for your Connect item, It connects you to 'something' and it will affect your choices, which is why it is seen as a cursed object... Anyway!
Your status will be moderated by itself but as it is it might not work everytime due to your Connect item, so if it doesn't understand It might mess up so... work through it Haha!
Also you may see some of the things I've done in this world, look around they might help you again...
bye! ;)
You wake up, What a weird dream, You close your eyes and think STATUS

As you walk down the stairs thinking to yourself, the gear in your pocket is silently turning...

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.
