《Tales of New World : The Magus》ARC 4 - Change
Advertisement
One week has already passed since Volya and co. finished their mission. At Volya and Romain's lodging, Romain is sitting at the couch with a cast on his broken arm.
At the kitchen, Lucia is making lunch for the resident at the house and taking care of his reckless brother. When she already finished made one, she looks at Romain and says,
"So... Even Volya can't heal your hand..."
"He knows his limitation, so I can't be mad at him," says Romain
"Well, It's better than someone who doesn't know their limitations."
"Hey! It's because the bear suddenly doesn't want to change its target!"
Lucia only laughs and then opens the window near Romain. She then says,
"Since Volya becomes the people of Haegia... The situation at Ironforge become more lively than before."
"I agree..." says Romain
"And judging by that, I must agree that he could change you. Either become better or more stubborn than ever," jokes Lucia
"Ahahahahaha... Hopefully, that will happen"
Both of them laugh together and then look outside. The cave where they lived for many years. The place where they grow now becomes livelier with only one addition.
Lucia then walks towards Romain and asks him,
"Then, do you know what happens with Our Queen?"
"Sir Villias and Sir Mikhail lecture her since yesterday. I don't know when it will be stopped though."
"Poor Helena..."
"But, at least Volya and I could do any mission without any problem ahahahahaha."
"Not with that cast on you," says Lucia as she taps the cast
"I know... I know."
"But, why did they didn't punish you?"
Romain just notices that and thinks a little bit about it. Meanwhile, Lucia only looks at Romain and giggles a little bit. After that, Lucia asks him once more,

"Oh yeah... I remember that Our King puts a mission for the knight."
"Ah... The aftermath after that, huh," says Romain
"Yes. And it seems you know that it will happen."
"Of course... It's Helena's decision and sooner or later we will take it into action."
"I agree."
Lucia then tidies up the desk and then she notices that Volya isn't around. She then asks Romain,
"Where is Volya?"
"Oh... He is having a sleepover with the bear that we safe back then," says Romain
"Sleepover?!"
"Yes. He said that their fur is really warm and wants to sleep with them and he said that he missed that time when he slept with the bear at Wildespring. To be honest, I can't read his mind at all."
"You know... At this point, I don't know if he is joking or not."
Lucia tried to think about it a little bit until they noticed someone knock on the door. Romain stands up with Lucia in front of him. When Lucia opens the door, they notice a guard there quite panicked. Romain immediately says,
"What is it? Is there anyone attacking us? Are those tribes attacking us?"
"No... It's something more dangerous, Sir Romain," says the guard
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Sir Volya... He brings a bear here!"
Romain and Lucia are really surprised to hear that and immediately follow the guard to the central park. When they arrived, they noticed a lot of people already gathering there with awe. Some of the kids looked really excited, and some of the adults are really interested in what they saw.
At the middle of the park, they could see Volya riding on the mother bear, with the cub near the mother bear. Volya then smiles at everyone and then says,

"This is how we live... What do you think?"
The mother is quite satisfied with it. Volya immediately dismounts from it and explains that this bear is harmless and only wants to know how humans live. He also said that they could interact with them.
One by one comes closer to the bear that sits at the middle with the cub near it. They ask about something and Volya explains it to the bear. Sometimes the bear will demonstrate what Volya's told to them. All of them become more curious and ask more questions to them. Even some of them hug the bear and feel the warmth of their fluffy fur. Volya even explains what they should and shouldn't do with the bear.
Romain and Lucia noticed that and they only could smile. Lucia then says,
"Well... At least, he could make this place become a better place... Right?"
"I believe so."
"Then, how about we join them. I have a lot of questions about them."
"I agree... Let's go."
And with that Romain and Lucia follow the other to ask Volya anything they like about the animal in front of them.
Meanwhile, at a cave not far from the bear's lair. A young woman is looking at the snowy mountain in front of the cave. She looks at the sky and then says,
"The star... Start to move again..."
She then closes her eyes and goes deeper inside the cave to take a long nap there.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
