《Blaze》Chapter 52 - Big Sister
Advertisement
Slowly, the carriage followed after the caravan. Serah and the others were relatively behaved during this time, and for the most part, tried to stay out of trouble. But, curious about the three beautiful girls following after their caravan, several people couldn't help but stop by to greet them.
“So why are you guys going to Karolen anyways?” Serah asks as she chews on the steak the man brought her. Serah didn't care about appearances and proceeded to casually rip into the meat with her hands and without consideration for the grease on her face.
The man clears his throat as he watches the savage display. “Most of us here are tradesmen. We all heard the news. Far to the Southeast, across the vast Heart Ocean, a new continent has been discovered. A group of mages has sent out the news that they are gathering workers in the Riot Kingdom, to immigrate to the New World. Apparently they have already set up a teleportation link to the new continent.” The man explains.
Serah raises an eyebrow. “A group of mages? Do they work for the Riot Kingdom?” She asks, her interest caught.
The man lets out a chuckle. “Do you not know about the Riot Kingdom? It’s a kingdom of free men! The kingdom doesn’t have any real official forces like other kingdoms. Most of it is made up of a bunch of merchant families and mercenary groups, and their private armies. As for whether those mages are working for one of them, I don’t know.” The man says, giving Serah some insight into the Riot Kingdom.
Serah furrows her brows. “Hmm…” She hums, pondering the matter. Suddenly, she sets the steak aside, and stands up before walking over to the man.
The man raises an eyebrow, wondering what this lady was doing.

Serah doesn’t hesitate, and approaches the man before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
The man’s eyes widen. What’s going on? He wonders to himself as a small fire begins to burn in his loins.
Serah smiles. “Thank you for the information. You may take your kiss and go.” She says dismissively before walking back to the carriage.
The man’s eyes widen in realization. It was payment!? He thinks before his face begins to burn red with slight embarrassment. But the man couldn’t deny it, this was along the lines of what he was looking for.

“Mages gathering workers?” Samantha asks with a raised eyebrow. “Do you think they’re the mages we’re looking for?” She asks, hoping to learn more.
Serah takes a big gulp of water and lets out a breath. “Maybe. If it is them, they would have more reason than anyone to escape the continent since the college is hunting them down. But they seem to have bigger plans than simply escaping. It’s like they want to start a city over there, or maybe a kingdom.” She says.
Samantha smirks. “Ambitious. For a bunch of runaways.” She says, not sure if she should be impressed.
Serah smiles. “Hey, if the dream is there, why not reach for it? Are you listening to this Nickie? You should be taking notes.” She says with a light chuckle.
Nickie waves her hand dismissively and continues to read her book. “As long as I have food to eat and mommy by my side, I’m satisfied.” She says, unimpressed.
Samantha frowns. “Can you tell her to stop calling you that? It’s getting on my nerves. And if anything, I should be the mommy!” Samantha says, dissatisfied.
Nickie smirks. “I can call you big sister if you’d like.” She says in a teasing manner.
Serah lets out a laugh.
Samantha’s cheeks begin to blush. “Maybe…” She says, a little intrigued by the offer.

Getting reborn as an Orc
MC gets reborn as an orc. He is going to grow in strength, going to gather his followers build up his clan then crash, slaughter, and humiliate the humans, elves, dwarves, and such. This is a kingdom building story with litrpg elements. Litrpg works well when we talk about single character focused story. But in my story MC eventually going to lead his troops against other people. So I invented something called the tier system. It is similar to the grading system other game light story's use but with much more clear and understandable rules, also uses a very simplified stats system. When you hear someone's tier you could easily understand what to expect. MC is a crafty guy, he usually uses tricks and shady tactics instead of brute force to achieve his goals. He gets ailed with unsavory humans to reaching his aims. So MC going to have a lot of dealings with society's criminal underbelly. I warn you, my English is miserably bad. If you seeking a kingdom building story with a crafty villainous lead who outsmarts his enemies you are in the right place. If you seek something written by someone competent in English please pass this story and please just don't write a review.
8 184Dragonfall
This fiction is based on a short story I wrote inspired by a prompt on r/WritingPrompts. Contrary to my plans, I haven't sketched out the story in detail or written anything ahead of time. I've discovered I don't do well at that. I'm just writing this thing and we'll see where it takes us, OK? Nothing every came easy to Ryan Shakespeare, but as an elite British Army sniper he had found a niche that suited him, right up to the point at which he found himself summoned to a world far from his own to fulfil the job of a champion. Luckily, Ryan arrived with his experimental sniper rifle, so surely killing the dragon and getting his chance to go home would be a simple job, right? But Ryan should have known better, because nothing ever comes easy. Caught up in the politics of the Draconic League, Ryan will need to keep all his wits about him and use every resource at his disposal if he's going to persuade these people to let him do his job and go home.
