Sure you’re not Drin. And my name is Alotta Fagina. (For you Austin Powers fans, here is your time to shine. If you haven’t watched Austin Powers, you really should. It is a hilarious movie series.)

“Yamada! Please pay attention! These lessons are arguably more important than actual training. Your life may depend on your knowledge of the properties of the basic magical elements!”
“Why should I have to listen to a professor drone on while lecturing?”
“That’s why you’ve never payed attention for the past three months!? (chuckle) my dear, if you were to listen, you’d realize that I never do that! If you don’t believe me, then ask Drin, Emmiliot, or Shadow. They all started off like you, not paying attention to me, but they learned their lessons the hard way, not the easy way, like you have right now.”
“Really? I want proof.”
“If you want proof, there is a way. Drin wont like it though - I’ve seen him lose his hair due to the sheer worry that he will be caught, which is less than a 0.0000000000001% chance, with my spells activated. There is a tournament in one month for young fighters at your skill level. I will speak with him about it, but I want you to go all out from the very beginning of the first round. Understood?”
“But why all out from round one?”
“You’ll understand eventually. I am not at liberty to state the reason right now.”
“Alright, tomorrow I’ll pay attention to your lesson. I think it’s better to spare his nerves for the time being. For today, I wish to slack off.”
“Hahahaha! At least train your communication with your blades. I can tell that that your communications are sub-par at best.”

“I can’t. I’ve made the connection with the blades multiple times, but each responds with the same spiel.”
“I have a few questions, first, could you describe each one’s form? And second, would you please tell me this spiel? If it is within my abilities, I will be able to help you.”
“Alright. The spiel is:
‘You hold one, not four;
One is cunning;
Two is showing off;
Three is powerful and proud;
And four is one.
You are blind. One piece of the puzzle is in your hands, but the rest are crying - neglected.
Ponder these words. They are your future.’
The four are a muscle packed man, two of them are almost completely the same, and the fourth is very flashy and extravagant with anything he does. So, can you please help me with this Bookworm?”
“I wish I could, however, it is never allowed for an outsider to tell a wielder how to cogitate the riddles given to him or her by their weapon. These riddles, spiels, and lectures are all made to challenge you and make you grow. That being said, the only “hint” I can possibly give you is to study the personalities of all weapons, which will be tomorrow’s lesson.”
“In that case, could you please fast forward your plans to today?”
“Not exactly, but I will be able to give you a very abbreviated version of it tonight, and tomorrow, I’ll let you ponder the riddle/spiel all day. How does that sound?”
“Really!?!”
“Really.”
“OH MY GOSH! THANK YOU SO MUCH SENSEI!! I WILL DEVOTE MYSELF TO ALL OF YOUR LESSONS IN THE FUTURE!!! EEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!”
“Hahahahahahahahahah! That’s the best reaction I’ve ever had to something like this! Hahaha! Oh, that was great!”
“Are you making fun of me?”
“Not at all. That really was the funniest reaction I’ve ever received for anything I’ve done. Now, go train, and I will meet you outside the armoury at 2300 hours sharp. Don’t be late.”

The Core, The Recordings of Raan - Fantasy LitRPG Story
The blue screens all around blink like crazy with red letters saying how I'm dead. I rage and wave my hands, but punch nothing but air. Then I remember what I was told, breathe in deeply, trying to steady my mind, smooth my anger, letting the blue vertigo take me with it, letting myself go...Hard-time convicts from a space orbital penitentiary are sent to a hostile planet where odds of survival are minimal. To make things even worse, their memories seemed to be wiped clean. But their killers' instincts are not, and they soon kick in.For a space wars old-timer Raan, it's all different. He remembers everything. And that's a problem. As others fight for survival, he remembers how most of them, himself included, should not even deserve to have a second chance.In a strange new world, as he fights his own demons, he is faced with new ones whose names he does not even know. But giving up is not inside his DNA and fight on he must. For to stop is to die, and to die means he failed, failed himself and all those who still desperately need him.***The Author's Note:This is another in the Core series, the first one being The Wardens of Destiny while there is also a side story The Memoires of Eisen that's exclusive on Patreon for those who would like to support me.The Recordings of Raan occurs after the events in The Wardens of Destiny, and it's a separate thread from the main story. Among other things, I separated it into a new book as it has elements of progressive LitRPG and a fantasy-world setting.Since I'll keep on writing The Wardens of Destiny, this will be one of my side-projects. Eventually in the future, I plan to integrate some of the protagonists in this story with the main storyline.

A crumbling autumn leaf
DROPED That systems comes out of nowhere, he's fine with that, it will be hard, but he can bring everyone... What do you mean we don't get to go to the tutorial? Well fuck.

Now his family is gone and Aki has nothing but time and the system notifications to figure out what actually happened to the rest of the world, perhaps even finding another reason to live after he finishes destroying the dungeon he spawned at from inside out. ***** This novel bases heavily on novels like Defiance of the fall, The new world and The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound. I would like to think that's it though, so please point out any sort of copying. As someone has pointed out though, i warn now that the main character is bisexual, so please, don't waste your time if that bothers you.
