----------------------------------------------
"Mi...a"
Hm..? Who's there?
"M..ik...a"
Who's...calling my name...?
"Mika, please wake up..."
"Percy?....Crystal?" I can only mutter...Are they calling me?
"Mika, it's me...your dad."
My eyes slowly opened up when I heard that. "D-dad?" I mumbled again and saw him looking at me, I realised that my head is on his lap and we were on a grassy field with a glassy sky that I can partly see.
My dad-Solomon, was still silent as one of his hand caressed my face. Reaching out to it I realized that only four of his fingers had his rings...I almost forgot that he gave one of his rings to me, I don't wear it much in school since people kept teasing or get ideas that I am a rich spoiled brat since my dad's ring is made of gold.
"You injured yourself you know? Broken ribs, a sprained ankle, glass cuts and a cold? Didn't Asclepius told you long enough that if he finds out if your hurt even a single bit he'll literally drag you back to the Hanging Gardens?" He said with a tiny frown which made me huffed, annoyed at him. "I'm still alive aren't I? I'm probably unconscious now and got a check-up in an infirmary or something." I said and he huffed in an almost frustration. "Geez, You act like Ritsuka and Gudao." He said and I grinned, "They took care of me before we went to Chaldea in the first place. Then you took care of me when they go off to a singularity which took days which resulted to me calling you my dad." I said to him. "Well aren't I honored?" He said and acted faintly touched with his free hand on his chest making me groan and forced his hand on the side of my face to cover my eyes, "I really want to bite your hand now." I whined making him laugh and proceeded to pat my hair.

"...Did Mr. Asclepius know that I injured myself?" I asked when I remembered what that Servant really said when it was my last day on the Hanging Gardens. "Not yet," Dad said making me sigh in relief, if that man found out about my injuries he'll just heal me and stick a leak on my butt and hang me to a tree...there's a possible chance that he will get one of Gilgamesh's lions to guard me when he told me that.
"You know he's not going to do that right?" Dad told me. Ah, I spoke my thought again, well ain't that swell. "He and Ms. Nightingale tied Mr.Sherlock to a pole just because he uses drugs, even if it was still legal in his book timeline!" I exclaimed as I sat up. He tried to reason with me but gave up soon after.
"...So how long am I going to sleep?" I asked him, "Three days. Someone probably bandaged you already and your ankle might've healed a bit...you can still walk right when you wake up." Dad answered while I watched the blue glassy-like sky slowly turn orange and yellow, "The sky depicts the days in the real world actually." He said. So now it's the second day.
"I want you to return home, that's the reason why I'm here." I looked at my dad to see he was serious. "Why? I asked Merlin to tell you that-"
"I know, but there's been a situation." Which caught my attention, "I heard that the Mage Association here, had their own members missing. When they found one of them, he was already dead. Some presume it was a monster from one of the pantheons, it isn't proven yet though. That's why I want you to return, you can stay at this camp for a while, maybe help Medusa Rider and Lancer kill their monster counterpart on the way." Dad had explained to me.

It was kinda confusing, medusa's soul being cut to four, one being sent down to earth terrorizing people to statues while the other three were recorded to the throne of heroes. But it makes sense somewhat.
"Besides, the Greek gods are angry for some reason. I can't tell it to you but you will learn soon enough." He said, the look on his eyes pleaded me. "Okay, I guess I could find a way to tell that to Chiron." I sighed and dad patted my hair.
"Its almost your birthday too, and Jack might track you down just to meet you that day." He said and I widened my eyes, I forgot that its almost my birthday! "You forgot?" Dad said and looked amused, "I-I didn't forget!" I said to him and he started laughing and teased me...geez...
Grumbling, I then could see the sky turn into a Prussian blue color with stars popping out. On the far corners of the landscape, the Northern light appeared gleaming its cyan, purple and pink blanket-like rays of light. Beautiful
"I guess its time for me to wake up?" I asked and dad who nodded as she gently pulled me to lay my head on his lap again. "Don't get into too much trouble...okay?" He said and I nodded almost sleepily as my eyes closed...feeling his hand on my hair again before waking up...is a nice feeling...

-Adventure time!-
"Well aren't I honored?" He said and acted faintly touched with his free hand on his chest making me groan and forced his hand on the side of my face to my eyes, "I really want to bite your hand now." I whined making him laugh and proceeded to pat my hair.
"Quick Merlin! Tell me an embarrassing scene about my dad!" I said as I sat up straight and the Caster appeared in a flurry of pink flower petals and laughed. "One time when your dad was still Dr. Roman he liked me when I'm a girl named MagiMari which he idolized and made a shrine to! He never knew it was me until the end! But everyone did when they first saw me!" Merlin said which resulted to me and him laughing, "I didn't know you were-mmph!" My voice was cut off when Solomon covered my mouth with his hands.
"Merlin! Didn't I tell you to forget that!?" Solomon shouted to Merlin, "How can I not forget!? You still Idolize me!" He said to him. Which soon made both men chase each other while I laughed since Merlin kept saying many embarrassing stories of my dad wether he was still Solomon or Romani or him in the present. Garden of Avalon's only Resident my fellow peeps. (Note that I might've meant the marshmallows.)

Embrace the Blade
Born crippled, it was no surprise when James Ransom died young, but he was offered an opportunity - a mission: to go to a new world and become strong enough to kill the hidden boss behind the final boss. Now in a new world he must research and study the system to take advantage of it, find his strengths; form alliances and find party members to become strong enough to face the end. This story does use Multiple perspectives and tells stories that add to the MC's. I've been given this feedback enough that I feel the need to mention that growth (levels, skills, classes, etc.) is slow, intentionally so, but constant. Credit for the cover goes to a commission for KemptBones from DeviantArt for the cover. This book is a rewrite of the original Embrace the Blade. The timeline for this one is completely separate and you do not need to read the original to understand what is going on. If you want to check out the original you can find it here (just a warning that they are NOT good): ETB Drafts 1&2 If you came here from the original EtB, WELCOME!!

Divine Progress
Progress is a dubious god. After failing him, three people are banished from modern times and sent to another world. Seemingly out of place, Christoph is snatched from his own time and plunged into a world of violence and magic with no deity to lend him support. Instead, Progress has seen fit to curse him with an eternal hunger for magical energy. Branded as a demon, he must fight for survival while battling the servants of the god who sent him there, struggling against the 'gift' that Progress bestowed upon him and the past he sought to abandon. Can he make his way across the lands and gather enough strength to survive without the blessings of the Divine? Or will the gods bend him to their will, breaking him if he seeks to resist? This is not a short story, and the plot will take many twists and turns before Christoph's journey comes to a close. After all, it is not the destination, but the Progress that matters in the end. Like many other stories on RoyalRoad, this is my first piece. Feedback is more than welcome, so please leave a reply if you have a comment or question.

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.
