*************************************
'Alessia is standing in front of me, on top of a large magic circle.'
'While I'm standing on a much smaller one.'
'"Please recite the spell after me…"'
'At the same time that Leo narrated the spell, I repeated it. This caused the magic circles to slowly begin to glow red. The phrases of the spell themselves have no meaning. In one second, they will talk about the sea and, the next second, about the land.'
'After chanting the spell for about a minute, a necklace-shaped tattoo appeared on Alessia's neck. It disappeared at the same time that the magic circles stopped glowing. At the sight of a third party, no one would think that Alessia is a slave, my slave.'
'"Congratulations! From now on, Alessia is your slave"'
'"Your will is my will, master" Alessia approached me and swore her oath.'
'"And that's how it should be"'
'With my words, Alessia, very adorably, smiled. Her level of cuteness is on par with the gold left behind by the Snow Wolves.'
'"I hope this is not the last time we see each other; our Heavenly Water House will be at your disposal at any time you wish"'
'"Yes. If one day I need you, I will come back"'
'With such words, I bid Leo farewell.'
'Now, a change occurred in my user interface the moment Alessia became my slave. The main thing is that an icon with his face appeared at the top left of my vision.'
'I pressed it mentally, and then the user interface changed the status. It no longer reflects mine, but Alessia's… Don't tell me!'
'I breathed heavily, I really want to press the [Reset Status Points], wishing to know if my assumptions are correct. But I, somehow, held myself back. If I do such a thing, then she will immediately realize that something strange is going on. After all, moving her points while she is still awake will make the changes noticeable.'
'I'll press it when we're naked in bed. At that point, she won't notice.'
'"Master, thank you for helping me. Although I don't know who my father is, if he was someone capable of sealing my memories, it is possible that he would have done what you mentioned that day…"'

'Kill her while she is sent to the Drial Cenit kingdom.'
'No wonder a noble can do that and much more.'
'"Don't worry now, you're with me"'
'"…Yes"'
'— Hmm? And his sharp eyes? Master's appearance is very different from that day… No, I'm being rushed, maybe that's what he does when he's in his serious mode. '
'Alessia is looking at me strangely. I feel like her points towards me are slowly decreasing. OK, that's fine. At some point, she'll realize I'm not the gallant clone, so there's no need to pretend anymore.'
'Alessia: "!!!"'
'Without hesitation, I took her hand and we walked down the street together.'
'Her hand is so soft and at the same time so firm. It makes me imagine how she will hold my penis with those hands at night.'
'***'
'"She is Alessia, my slave"'
'"Alessia, a pleasure"'
'"Erick, a blacksmith. Oh, you are very beautiful. Now, I understand why Emir went into debt up to his neck to buy you"'
'"He got into debt?" Alessia looked at me with a worried face.'
'I don't know where Erick got the idea that I went into debt to buy her, but I still agreed. The money I got from the golden labyrinth is impossible to explain, only debts can make sense of this whole situation.'
'Ah I see… That's why he didn't immediately charge me the sword with three skills… Erick is an amazing guy. I won the lottery when I met him.'
'"Actually, I came to visit you not only to introduce you to Alessia, but also to know if you have any contact to buy me a house"'
'Erick: "…"'
'— This guy is up to his neck in debt and still wants to keep spending money? Should I beat him up instead of his parents?'
'Mm that look… I feel like I can read it.'
'"Don't think too much of it. I have money, don't worry"'
'"Haa… Well, whatever you say. Do you want a house in the north, or in the south?"'
'"I have 60 gold coins, what do you recommend?"'
'Erick: "…"'
'Alessia: "S-Sixty!!"'
'— Does this guy actually have money? Should I charge him for the sword before he spends it all?'
'"… … … The south, I know someone"'
'"T- Thank you"'
'That silence almost killed me.'

'After Erick left the store in charge of Jack, we went out to meet his contact.'
'Only a 10-minute walk away, we arrive at a house located in the southern sector, which is very beautiful indeed. We were served by a man with a pronounced beard.'
'"What are your preferences?"'
'"...If it's possible I don't want neighbors nearby" After making known all the things I want for a house, I added those last words.'
'"I understand… Well, I think I already know which one you might like. Please follow me"'
'"ok"'
'"Emir, now that I introduced you, I say goodbye. I have jobs in the store"'
'"Thanks for the inconvenience, Erick" I said goodbye to him with a handshake.'
'The real estate broker's name is Alfonso. Of slim build and short stature, his beard reaches to his chest. He is someone very serious, since he only speaks when it's absolutely necessary.'
'"Master, houses in the south are too expensive. If you really have money, you better pay off your debts before spending on something else"'
'"Alessia, I don't really have debts"'
'"What? But then, did you lie to Mr. Erick?"'
'"Mm... I got the money in a way that can't be explained. That's why I kept quiet and nodded."'
'"I see…"'
'—He isn't how I had imagined him. I thought he would be someone worthy of respect... I'm being too hasty, I have to evaluate the situation more.'
'Uah, the points drop too fast. I think Alessia is already realizing that I'll be a bad master… She won't show it, but, inside, she must be very happy. She's a masochist after all.'
'"We arrived"'
'"Hmm?"'
'In front of us there is a wall, very similar to that of a castle with 10m high. Inside it there must be an organization very similar to the order of knights.'
'Alfonso smiled and said "Its interior will surprise you"'
'Then he spoke to the doorman, and the latter opened a door 3m high. When we passed by it, I thought I was dreaming.'
'"Initially, the city of Altamira was created with a space of hundreds of kilometers of nature where the nobles could peacefully walk without encountering any monster. Unfortunately, the nobles want modern technology. Very few of them established their home in this place due to the few modern amenities."'
'As he said, before us there is only nature. Flowering trees, there is even a river. I would never have thought that within the capital, there would be a garden especially dedicated to the nobles. If that wasn't enough, the walls are high enough to add great security to this place.'
'"The house I told you about is a few minutes from here, please follow me a little longer"'
'This time, the walk was not monotonous at all. The song of the birds and the sound of the water are extremely relaxing.'
'"Here it is. This beautiful house is the one I recommend"'
'It is a two-story house, made of oak with two windows on each of its walls. It has a balcony on the second floor. Its yard has soft soil, which looks ready and willing to be planted. Small wooden posts surround the house to mark the land of the property.'
'Upon entering, the home environment was only amplified. A dining room kitchen with wood furniture armchairs. On the second floor, there are the bedrooms; 6 of them, specifically. On both, the first and second floors, there is a bathroom with incredibly modern technologies called 'plumbing' and 'drain'. Where the water appears with the movement of a faucet and disappears through the drain. That's modern.'
'"I see that it is to your liking. This house belongs to a noble family who, seeing that none of their descendants want to be in contact with nature, decided to sell it. Its fully furnished and it is worth 50 gold coins"'
'Before I arrived in the city of Altamira, I would say that 50 gold coins is too much money, but now when I see my inventory, I can't help but think that it is too little.'
'"Okay, I love it"'
'"That's nice to hear"'
'After giving him the money, Alfonso held a magical object in his hands and recited a spell. For a second, the house lit up and then, everything went back to normal.'
'[You have acquired a property]'
'"The house has been registered in your name, no further paperwork is necessary. I'll take care of the rest... Have a nice day"'
'"Bye, thank you"'
'After closing the door, I looked at Alessia.'
'It's housewarming time.'

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

False Prophecy is a high fantasy saga about a world that loses its chosen one four years before their apocalypse. The Prelude takes place during the five weeks prior to this tragic event, following a husband and father named Kon. When discovered to be a Seer - a human blessed with the power to see and bond with the magical fae - Kon is taken away from his family and conscripted into the Fated King's army to play his part in the coming war. Inspired by Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive, Wildbow's Parahumans, and countless anime. Disclaimer: FP's Prelude Novel, A Sung Prophecy, is slow burn and character focused.

I Killed Myself but Woke Up in Another World
Cultivation and Game system progressive fantasy with character development as focus. *** Living in a pointless world where everything he did only put him at the bottom of the chain. He was lethargic, devoid of motivation, living in deterioration, and a living failure with superficial achievements. Left behind by the people whom admired him in the past. Until he killed himself and woke up in another world. Could he find the will to live by living in a world he hoped that existed? * I ran from reality. I ignored their warnings. Did I leave them for my own salvation? I hanged myself to death. I was beyond ecstatic when I woke up in another world. Hoping this is my time: To become the center of the world. Unique and powerful. But then, even fantasy was disappointing. I banged my head on the ground. Pleaded the gods to give me something. "Please, let me have the will to live!" I wailed and cried. But no one replied. No one offered a hand. So I offered mine instead. ***************** One, I didn't create a likeable MC. Two, I'm still grasping in the darkness. Three, I hope you give feedback so I can improve my novel. Four, the novel is planned to be at 500+ chaps. Five, I have a rough outline already of the story and I'm working with my pacing. So, it might get a little rough and a bit forced at some point, but I'm working on that. Six, if the pacing suddenly uncomfortably slowed down, tell me. Arc 1 is Adaptation Mini arc adaptation zone Mini arc mountain Arc 2 is Discovering the World (Still working on the miniarcs, but the map is already completed. The Leveling System and Cultivation system is being extensively worked out.) Arc 3 ?
