Chapter 30: Another Obstacle
(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: Royal Palace- Courtyard)
(Scene: The crew pulls into the courtyard of the Royal Palace)
[Butlers and Maids]: *in unison* *bows* Welcome back from school, young masters and mistresses! We trust you've all had an excellent day! May we take your shopping bags?
[Princess Savannah]: Yes we did, thank you. May you prepare refreshments for my guest, please?
[Butlers and Maids]: *in unison* Yes, Milady!
*The crew then appears in the Royal Palace's kitchen. It is very large with lots of countertop space made of marble, huge cabinets containing pots and pans, as well as ingredients and other cooking materials hung neatly and beautifully along the walls.
*There were large fridges and freezers full of food and snacks, and there were spacious islands for sitting and entertaining guest. Stewards and chefs were working diligently preparing tonights dinner, but they also made platters of fancy cheese served with crackers and fruits along with peach flavored iced tea for the friends of the princess.
[Princess Savannah]: *Cheering* Oh, well look who it is everybody! Hello, Prince Majorku! How are you doing today?
*The prince appears shirtless and barefoot enjoying a tall cold glass of milk after having just finished a vigorous workout and a hot shower. His upper body was completely shredded, along with his back that was formed and the crevices were deep and strong. Majorku's biceps were the size of bricks, as they were swollen from intense and punishing physical training.
*Beads of water trickled slowly down his moist long naturally smokey gray hair onto his sculpted and meticulously refined masculine figure. He was the true essence of male perfection, as his glare was stone cold like a warrior, but also relaxed like a monk.
[Mitsune Akamiko]: Uh-ohhh, hotty alert!
[Halenday Medellon]: *Flirtingly* Ooohh, my…

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Blushing* *Eyes widen* !!! .........
[Prince Majorku]: Hm? Oh hey, Princess, World Guardian, and company... How was school? Did you guys learn anything useful?
[Princess Savannah]: *Smiling* It was absolutely wonderful! We also stopped by the mall! Wanna see the lingerie Lady Akamiko and I bought? It's matching!
[Prince Majorku]: Um... No, thank you... *Cough* Uhh, anyways, hey Baku, what do you have planned for the weekend?
[Baku Cree]: *Staring at his doll* ……. Huh? Oh, um... I'll probably be doing some studying or something…
[Prince Majorku]: I see... Well, along with that, understand that starting early tomorrow morning, we will begin your training under the World Guardian position. We will be preparing you for the Crystal Dome Games, as well.
[Baku Cree]: *Ugh* ... How early are we talkin' here?
[Prince Majorku]: Early.
[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* Oh man… There goes my sleep...
*Savannah then notices Ayurielli silently staring at the floor blushing. She smiles sinisterly.
[Princess Savannah]: *Singingly* Ooohh Prince Majorkuuu, Miss Yuri has a question for yooouuu…
[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Embarrassed* *Blushing* !!!!!! …
[Prince Majorku]: Hm? What is it, Lady Yamabushi?
[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Embarrassed* *Shyly* P-prince M-Majorku... Will you be... *Gulp* Participating in the... Crystal Dome Games?
*The warrioress asks this as she tries not to stare at the prince's well defined and structured body, but instead attempts to look at his bare feet. Not that it helped, they were massaged to be soft and smooth with fine lotions and also perfectly pedicured recently. Her face as red as a rosebud, as she pondered which maid had the pleasure of massaging Majorku's feet after a hard day of work and a bath on top of it.
[Prince Majorku]: *Knods* Yes, I do intend to participate in the games. I lost last year because I was unable to defeat my final opponent’s abilities... But this time, I've been training endlessly to master my technique and I will defeat him and win. Like a true future leader of our kingdoms military, I will become the champion and claim the legendary sword... How about you, milady? I imagine that you've haven't lost your razor-sharp skills in kendo and the katana. I've heard from my sister that you're on your way to acquiring a fiftieth consecutive victory. That's pretty impressive, Lady Yamabushi.

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Cough* Yes, that is true, thank you. I plan to also compete in the tournament as well. The prize is entirely too valuable for me not to obtain. So, I shall take it as my reward and claim it as an heirloom, therefore bringing great honor to my family as our first woman to win the Crystal Dome Games ever…
[Prince Majorku]: *Smiling* Excellent... May our blades cross in the tournament, Yuri. I look forward to it.
[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Shyly* ... Likewise…
[Baku Cree]: *Thinking to himself* *Freaking out* Damn it! Now the royal freakin' prince is going to be in the games too!? Geez, there's no way I'll win if these two monsters are playing... One of them has an undefeated kendo record, and the second one has a 16 pack! How the hell is that even possible!? I'm a total scrub compared to them!
[Butler]: Excuse me, young master, Baku. Your presence is required by his highness, King Jeremiah Cree.
[Baku Cree]: ... Alright.

8 215My Isekai
For those not familiar with the isekai genera, this story is about a man waking up in an unknown world. The story follows his journey and life in this world, which does not only look different on the surface, but the common norms and values of this world are very alien to the modern western mindset. How will this average western person respond to such a world, and how will it change him. For those familiar with isekai, this is a western take on a predominantly Japanese story format. It draws a lot of inspiration from Japanese isekai, but it also tries to tackle a lot of tropes that might be annoying to the western mindset. The story is not written for young boys as the story tries to take a mature take on some typical clichés and assumptions made by both the typical writer and reader of the genera.
8 94Reincarnated As A Benevolent Tyrant
NOTICE: This story is under rewrite. New novel has been published. Search **RE: Tyranny** in Royalroad for the new novel.Link- Re: Tyranny Thank You! ------------------------ "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory." What a brilliant line, isn't it? James was a boy who had nothing to worry about. A happy family, a nice childhood. What's more to ask? But one day, everything changed. He lost everything in the blink of an eye. The only thing left for him were the memories and dreams of the past. Trying to cope up with the loss, he cut all ties with the outside world and became a shut-in, having no one left to call his own or to rely upon. There was nothing left for him in this world, but still he lived and soon found a purpose in his life, which lead him to create something that could change the world.And on the very day when his dream project was about to come to the light, he lost his life, trying to save a little girl from an unfortunate accident. "Will I ever be remembered...? I wish... someone would." These were the last word James mumbled before his conscious faded into darkness. But his life didn't end there, as he is transmigrated into the body of an arrogant, worthless Duke's son in some unknown land with no memories about who is or any idea about where he is. In an era of political turmoil and civil strife, the Duke's son is forced to prove his worth for inheriting the title. Will he be able to accept the new reality and prove himself by leading this country into a prosperous future? Or will he cease to the pressure of his past and lose everything once more? Disclaimer: This is not a power-fantasy or a 'feel-good' story. If you feel a protagonist should never lack agency (especially in early story) or make compromises because of difficult circumstances, then this fiction is probably not for you. It is a story that delves deep into real world sociological/psychological subjects and explores many topics of gray morality. I wrote it because I like stories that make me think more about the world around us, not to detach myself from reality. Some aspects you can expect based on the tags include:- [Kingdom Building]: political drama, geopolitical/geoeconomic strategy- [Army Building]: massive battles featuring in-depth planning, combined arms, and operational logistics- [Identity Crisis]: someone translated into a whole different world having to rebuild their identity and life aims The story starts off slowly, more like a slice of life than action-adventure, but I guarantee you it will get there. For those who want to skip the slow part, start from Chapter - 35 (Beginning of The End) (The whole Disclaimer section is copied from Aorii as I am too busy writing the complete story.) And yes, just for General Knowledge, James will become OP throughout the story. He is not some legendary guy who will pull out Excalibur & conquer the entire world. Update Schedule - One chapter a day. This novel is also available on Scribble Hub. And again, I humbly thank you for reading it. I hope you stick throughout the journey.
