《Free》Volume 1: Chapter 0
Advertisement
Ametar. The one and only continent on the planet. All of the continents which were Draumar, the continent of the desert, Xiu the continent of swords and martial arts, Glehax, the continent of ice and Drozan, the continent of magic was all suddenly merged into one big continent. In the middle is a big, industrialized country called Zlargend. Zlargend is divided into 5 different nations. Each nation's weather varies. The Center of Zlargend is Creata. North of Creata is Qrimle, a nation surrounded by snow, mountains and dangerous hazards. East of Creata is Xous, filled with samurai and martial artists. South exists Clout, the biggest industrialized country. West of Creata is Ishori, country of heatiness.

Enter Otagi Kazusane, the fiercest samurai in Xous. He had scars all over his face, the same angry terrifying face every second. He was the father of 5 children, that number soon approaching 6.
All of his children are from different women in Xous. No one dared to touch him because of the power he has. His name is known in nations like Ishori, the other side of the country.
Her face was all red, sweating and moaning. Sou Kichi was about to have her first child. She was 19 while Otagi was 96. He was standing looking out from his window. It was quiet rain outside, Sou was screaming and moaning from the pain she was going through.
Takigawa Chikasuda was the wizard Otagi hired. Magic is a strong fighting style in Ametar. Wizards, witches, curses and all of that exist. Seeing into the future, slowing down time everything is believed and is used. Takigawa was hired by Otagi to look into his child's future.
Otagi had only one goal in his life, which was to have one child to kill him after becoming the strongest samurai. Of course, Otagi knew that no one would be able to kill him, he knew he would have better luck with making children. He knew that having one child was not enough, so he made 5 children to assure at least one child will kill him.

The only reason he wants to get killed is his contract his parents with the demons in hell, to make him an immortal being in return for their land. The reason is still unknown, however Otagi wants to end his life, trying multiple of times to die and slowly losing hope for his life. It was Takigawa that had to decide if the new child's soul was to be sold or kept, depending if it will have a strong future.
When looking into its future when it was born, Takigawa made a scream of terror when doing it. He was scared that he didn't want to see him any more, so he lied. He lied even though he was not allowed to do so, he lied for his own good.
''Your majesty, the child's future is to become a farmer'' he said while stuttering.
''TAKE HIM AWAY, far away and sell his soul to his other siblings'' Otagi said and walked away.
With panic Takigawa took away the child from Sou's hands. She didn't have the energy to get up, but she had the energy to cry, and she very well did. The same night several people in Xou reported that they saw strange lights going in different directions.
As to what happened with Otagi, he left the house where his child was born and was never seen again. The last person to know where he went was west, which was seen by Takigawa as he was putting the baby in a basket on a river.
The river goes all the way from north of Xou to south. There is another big river that goes from north-west to south-east, making a cross between the two rivers. Rumors quickly spread about the baby, the disappearance of the strongest samurai in the world and the 5 light beams that night.

Days later a shop owner had found a baby in a basket flowing down the river where he was washing his face. He didn't think much of it and took the baby to his house letting his wife take care of him, he had no idea of the news. The baby had reached east of Xou.
As soon news spread to him, he made sure that no one knew it was the great samurai's baby he had taken. Years went by and the child had grown up to 17, a protective and helpful samurai who has an unyielding lifeless expression, never letting emotions (of which he has none) show, The shop owner's wife had died during the child's 17-year life and he too was dying, so as a last effort of helping out the child, he had explained to him about the birth, the samurai and the basket, everything he needed to know.
This is the story of Katsura Kichi's revenge

The Elemental Arena
*A Rational-Adjacent litRPG Survival Series.* The time for the trials has come, pitting the mortal species of the galaxy against one another. By completing challenges, clearing dungeons, and defeating rival species, the players may forge themselves stronger and smarter. But only one species will be declared the winner. Earth has finally qualified... ...and participation is mandatory. A twenty-nine year old data entry clerk works together with a group of internationally diverse players to survive. Learning synergistic skills and using teamwork, can humanity achieve an upset? If they don't, their lives are forfeit. Author's note: Chapters will be anywhere from 6k to 10k in words, varying based on the plot beats instead of specific word counts. Realistic actions and teamwork will be important aspects of my story. I'm trying something a little different in writing a realism focused litRPG, hoping to capture the essence of how real people would react to their situation. People are complex and don't always get along. I don't recommend starting the series expecting wish fulfillment tropes just because it's tagged litRPG. It's a survival story with the game settings on Hell difficulty. The plot hasn't gotten there yet, but in the future of the series I want to recreate my nostalgia of forty person raids on Ragnaros, but with the high stakes of boss battles in Sword Art Online. I also love puzzle rooms so expect one of those each book. Warnings: mild PG-rated language, graphic violence and gore, and graphic medical content.

... And My Skillet
A long time ago, a child was born under the great blue sky. Many a Dwarf grumbled at the auspicious event, tugging furtively at their beards at this ill omen. A year later as the expedition had begun digging into the virgin hills of their new home, the grumbling of the doughty mountain people rose to a disbelieving furor when the yearling passed over the ritual offerings that would determine his lot in life. Instead, the as of yet unnamed child crawled over to a skillet fresh out of the fire and begun picking at the rock bread, unconcerned with the heat. Shouts turned into laughter, frowns lifted into craggy smiles. Upon placing a handful of the bread into his mouth, the infant’s face grew so grim and stony not even the eldest of the present Dwarves could match him. There was a durable ore within this babe, of that the Lore Keeper was sure. Yumly Ironhand was thus named, the beginning of his great tale immortalized on the rune walls of his clan’s history. “It’s pronounced Yoom Lee and no, rock bread isn’t a misnomer.”

The Hopeful Project
A pair of twins stumble their way into the world of blood magic, lizard people, and cultivation powered mecha-armor. And by stumble, I mean one of them falls on their face while the other laughs. [Writathon Participant] People read this far? What are you doing down here? Escape! The chapter buttons are over there, stop reading this. No? Fine. This book is an excuse to put a world I spent around 3-4 months of my life building over the pandemic into writing. I was planning on doing the writathon last year, but somehow managed to confuse October and November. Dont laugh, I'm already ashamed enough. This book is about a pair of twins, doing twin things: calling each other names, going to school, learning how to use their blood to become unstoppable, juggernaut, killing machines... You know, twin stuff. It's like if someone stuffed a school arc inside of a tournament arc inside of a war arc. A good time, basically. I hope you enjoy it.
