《Why do I have to be the SI?!》Chapter 2
Advertisement
After taking some aspirin for the headache so I could thank straight the reality of the situation hit me. Most likely I wasn’t in my home universe after all pretty much every story I've ever read has the main character for some reason thrown out of there universe and they are not able to find it again.
So while I was hoping that I hadn’t ended up in some fuck off universe like highschool dxd were beings that can destroy continents are only slightly uncommon I also hope I didn’t end up on some contemporary earth were the only difference between my world and this one is how much mildew was on the grass that morning.
After all while I love my family and life I also don’t want them seeing me going full Emperor and conquering earth. Not just because my mother would yell my ear for such a thing.
Anyways I got to say while the hot burning pain of having it installed was something I would not recommend and hell I still would take having no powers in the arcane over never having felt that pain. I got to say suddenly being able to perform real magic is pretty dope.
Not just because one of the first and most simple things to do by Ulmish magic is telekinesis, but also because the sheer amount of power I can feel flooding through me. Oh sure I know I wouldn’t be able to go up agaisn’t someone of the weakest power by their standards, but considering that a Master mage by their standards could fist fight cthulhu or at least his lesser cousin well lets just say I'm not too put off.
One of the first things I did after playing around with my new magic is start creating an Ulmish rifle. You see unlike the rifles of modern day these things don’t use gunpowder of anything of the sort.

No these things use a magi-tech railgun system that uses a special brand of bullet. The gun itself can send a bullet flying at about six and a half times the speed of sound with almost no recoil. Now you may be wondering how they don’t blow their ears out with each shot. It's Actually quite simple, they just add variable silencing charms along the rifle barrel and bam almost no noise.
Of course if that was all then they wouldn’t be nearly as strong as they were, see the speed of the bullet is only half the battle. The other half is the bullet itself, the Ammunition of the standard Ulmish battle rifle is the size of the average 5.56 nato round but it comes in a black steel casing with multiple enchantments to increase penetration as well as durability.
Now you may also be wondering what black steel is, well that's simple. Through a process of mundane and magical engineering they create a steel of black coloring that is about a quarter lighter than average steel while being about two-hundred and fifty times tougher. Of course I don't have nearly enough materials to make it at the moment thus I'm using simpler Ulmish sourced steel.
Which is about the same weight while being about thirty times tougher. Of course with the amount of extra enchantments I'm putting on it than normal I should be able to get it up to thirty-six times tougher, but that's neither here nor there.
The first step in the process of making just the gun was getting the right materials so for the next three hours I set up a ritual and poured magic and loose materials I wouldn’t need into the circle, and as the third hour came and the ritual energies calmed down I had the materials I needed.

Not only the steel and the like but also the circuitry and processor chips that I needed in making the rifle. Thankfully after a little bit of mental math I figured I would have enough steel to make around Five-hundred bullets.
Anyways four the next hour and a half I worked with magic and the few tools I had around the house to create the weapon, and it was beautiful. While a little crude by Ulmish standards it would serve my purposes well after all it wasn’t for me, and if you thought it was shame on you. If you think I'm going around with a gun I don’t know how to use correctly then your dead wrong.
Oh sure I technically know how to use it but technical info and actual training and experience are two VERY different things. Hence why I was grabbing up some clothes from around my apartment so when I finished my hopefully first in a long line of summoning's that I could have something for him to wear ready. Wish me luck.

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!
8 181Cennet's Cyborg
Jared Ugo, a child genius under the nickname ‘Ban’ is caught between his own haunting past and a bleak future. Whilst he dealt with the pain of guilt and suicidal thoughts over the years, a storm was quietly brewing. That is, until the person closest to him passed away in an accident. His mind plunges, but alas, this creates an opportunity for him to close the distance between him and his mother, a chance to seize the motherly love he’s yearned for the first time in his life. But that hope would be trampled over as he finally meets the ghost of a man forged from his own sin. He struggles to stay sane as the revenge-driven father seeks to mentally break him down. Jared fights the demon he created, David Cennet, and amidst the hardships, still tries to keep his sense of morals intact despite his growing inclination to disregard them. PS: I've yet to properly proofread this one (when do I ever?) but I figured I'd upload it and maybe get some feedback in the mean time as I'm more focused on other stories and excessive drinking. Enjoy!I've begun writing the sequel!Check out my edgelord novel!

8 132Real Real Life
Jamie was having a bad day, until he was crushed to death by a beer delivery truck and things became a whole lot worse. Thrown back into the 'Real World', but now with access to his own stats and those of others Jamie must undertake a series of quests in order to level up and advance, and figure out just what in the name of all that is unholy is going on. Which is the real world? Is he in a game? A simulation? And who actually is his online friend Barry. Inspired greatly by the MUDs of the 90s, many of the aspects will be familiar to those who experienced the joys of text adventures, MUSHs, MURPEs, MUDs, modern MMORPGs or just some good old fashioned cybering with a 17/f/Cali who was anything but. This humorous, harem LitRPG story is the first story by experienced author Jamie Haremie under this pen name. Jamie has previously written horror and romance (sometimes together!) as well as tons and tons of riveting TPS reports. (Late 90s cultural reference? CHECK). Any and all comments and suggestions welcome!
